You were standing on the sidewalk outside of your, now, exes house with a river of tears falling down your cheeks. When you looked at your phone, you saw the time was 11:01pm. It was late, too late to call anyone. You were certain that in this small town there wouldn’t even be a cab available. As your mind raced through names of people who could help, you realized who you should’ve thought of first and foremost.
You remembered when Marc had told you, anytime you need anything, you just call me, alright? Surely it was too late, but you didn’t have anyone else you could think of that would come get you at that hour on Valentine’s Day.
Your mother had told you that Kevin was no good from the first day you’d met him, but you didn’t listen of course. You liked the way he made you laugh, and he was a damn good cook. None of that made up for the fact that just then, when you’d come over to surprise him for what was supposed to be the most romantic day of the year, you’d found him pressed, hips to ass with another woman.
With shaking hands, and blurred vision, you called Marc.
When he answered, he croaked out your name in his sleep drunk state, “...what’s going on? It’s…it’s past eleven at night. Are you ok?”
“M-Marc…” You whimpered, trying to keep yourself from sobbing over the phone.
“Are you hurt?” He immediately sounded awake, as though he wasn’t just woken from sleep. He was so intense sometimes, it took you off guard.
“N-no, Marc nothing like that.” You said.
“Then what is it?” He asked, concerned.
“I’m going to be at Bixie’s Crossroads, can you come get me?” You asked, voice cracking under your sorrow.
“Be there in ten.” He said, hanging up the phone.
You knew he lived twenty minutes from Bixie’s, but if Marc Spector said that he was going to be somewhere, he would be there, and he would be there on time or earlier. You felt cold, having worn only a cute and short dress in an effort to impress your now ex boyfriend. The heels you were in had you in agony as you approached the gas station where you’d wait for Marc. You hoped the blisters on your ankles would heal quickly.
Marc finally showed up and rushed over to you.
“Hey…” he said your name, “are you ok?”
You nodded, holding yourself tight and shivering. He immediately saw how cold you were and removed his coat, wrapping it over your shoulders before ushering you to the truck. After helping you into your seat, he got back in on the driver’s side and then started driving. You pulled your seatbelt over yourself and tugged his coat around you tightly.
“Was it that asshole Kevin?” He asked. “You know I always-”
“Can you please just shut up.” You said more harshly than you meant to.
“I have to ask…am I taking you home or…” He was timid when asking you a question after you’d snapped at him to shut up.
“I don’t want to impose, but I’d rather not go home so I don’t have to hear, I told you so, from my Mom too.” You crossed your arms over your chest and looked into the side mirror.
Your makeup was running down your face. It was such a mess that some had even spilled onto your cleavage. Marc was quiet for a while, you knew he was trying to think of something to say, and after a moment of calming down, you weren’t as upset with him when he spoke to you again.
“Jake is pissed off.” You looked over at Marc. “He is yelling at me to go fight the guy.” Marc chuckled.
“If I thought it would change anything, I’d let him.” You looked back out the window.
“I’m surprised you didn’t want Steven. He’s a lot better at this kind of thing you know.” Marc pointed out.
He was right. You’d known Marc and his alters for a long time, and of course you loved them all dearly and the roles they played in your life, but when you thought about who you really needed when you were standing outside of your ex's house in heaving sobs, it was Marc. Marc always knew how to take care of you, and he was the one you wished you could talk to.
You remembered being a kid, he was a few years older than you, and your dad was fucked up again, drunk out of his mind and taking it out on your mother. Marc was fifteen, you were nine. His father and your father had been friends, that’s how you’d met. You were sitting outside that night, listening to your parents fighting inside and Marc happened to be walking by on his way to the convenience store. He saw you, and walked over to you.
He didn’t say anything, he just held you on the doorstep and rubbed your shoulder while you cried. That was also the first time you learned about Steven. Saying Marc knew how to take care of you, meant that he knew how to make sure you were safe, and out of harm’s way. He didn’t like the parts that came after, the comforting and the telling you, everything will be alright, he didn’t think he should be the one to do that. He didn’t think he was good enough to be that support system for you.
So many times after that you would turn to Marc to help you when you needed him, and so many times he would rescue you from whatever issue you found yourself in, and so many times he would dip out when it got emotionally difficult to handle. Even then, as you sat in his truck while he drove through town, nearly at his house, you were waiting for him to go into hiding and let Steven take over.
“I need you, Marc.” You said, keeping your eyes out the window.
More silence filled the small space.
When Marc pulled into the driveway of his house, you both got out of the truck. You followed him up the driveway in your aching feet. You couldn’t wait to get inside and take off your heels, and you wished you’d worn something more practical. Marc muttered something unintelligible at his window, no doubt one of the boys still talking about you, while he fumbled with his keys before he finally opened the door and ushered you inside.
Warmth.
You felt the heat envelop you the moment you walked through the door, but you didn’t want to take off Marc’s jacket yet. You clutched it around yourself, feeling the fabric wrapping you in a sense of comfort and safety. It smelled like him, and that alone was enough to make you feel better.
“Do you want me to grab you some sweats and a shirt? Might be a little big on you, but it will probably be more comfortable than what you’re wearing.” He offered, dropping his keys in a dish on a table by the door.
“Yeah, that would be great, Marc.” You caught a glimpse of yourself in the entryway mirror and sighed heavily. “Actually, can I hop in the shower first? I’m a mess.”
“Oh, yeah, yeah sure. Bathroom is right down the hall over there. Towels are on the shelf in there.” He said, pointing to the left of the dining room.
Now you removed the jacket, handing it to him. You went to the bathroom and washed away the night. You washed away the makeup that had run down your cheeks after all the crying you’d done, and you washed away the perfume that Kevin had always told you was his favorite that you wore just for him. You were left with nothing but embarrassment, and frustration.
When you stepped out of the shower, you could hear Steven talking and he sounded upset. You had a feeling you knew why he had control now, and you were sure you’d find out for sure when you were finished in the bathroom. Steam billowed around you when you stepped into the hall, and you heard Steven stop speaking abruptly. They were talking about you. Of course they were, what else would they have been talking about?
You turned left and could see Steven standing in the living room holding a set of clothes neatly folded in his hands, outstretched to you.
“Hi, Steven.” You said, walking over and grabbing the clothes from him.
“Hi…” Steven said your name. “Marc is erm…”
“I don’t care. He always does this to me.” You started to choke up again, but you didn’t like making Steven feel bad so you turned away. “Thanks for these clothes.”
“Oh, don’t cry, it’s going to be alright, love.” He said gently, touching your back. “Look I tried to tell Marc that you needed him tonight, but he really insisted that he thought I was best for the job.”
“He’s always running away on me when I’m upset. I know it’s hard for him, but I need him.” You looked at Steven again. “I care about you Steven, and Jake too, but sometimes I just need Marc.” You let out a heavy sigh. “Nevermind. I’m just gonna go change and then head to bed I guess.”
Steven looked heartbroken for you as you stepped away from him and made your way to the bathroom again. You dried yourself and pouted at your puffy eyes in the mirror. This wasn’t how this night was supposed to go. You should’ve been curled up with Kevin watching a crappy movie pretending that you didn’t feel his erection poking your hip until he couldn’t stand it anymore and you let him take you in the bedroom. Instead you were listening to Steven arguing with the other two in the living room from the bathroom of their house.
When you walked out, he was hushed again, and looking at you softly. His cheeks were all red from the arguing. You could tell he was distressed. He hated arguing, and he especially hated it when the three of them were in disagreement. You imagined it must be hard to have three minds in one body all pulling different directions.
“Steven, you don’t have to argue with him anymore, I’m good.” You pressed your lips together tightly. “Marc, I know you can hear me. I get it, I want you to know I’m not mad, it just really sucks. I needed you.”
“For what it’s worth, you can talk to me if you need an ear, or you can just y’know, cry on my shoulder if you want.” Steven offered, looking now like he needed a hug.
You sighed, “I really think I’m just going to go to bed.” You insisted. “I’m tired.”
“There’s only the one bed now. The guest room is getting renovated, so you go ahead and sleep in my room. I’ll sleep out here.” He said.
“I’m not going to take your bed Steven.” You said. “I can sleep-”
“I insist. It’s much more comfortable and you had a hard night.” He wasn’t going to take no for an answer, that much was clear.
You nodded. “Alright then. Thanks Steven. I appreciate you so, so much.”
Of the three of them, you’d only hugged Marc and Steven, and Steven gave the best hugs by far. You would think that something like a hug, being from the same body, wouldn’t be any different regardless of who was in control, but Steven’s hugs were easy to melt into, like they softened every part of you. He was so warm.
“Keep your chin up, love.” Steven said, “you’re really amazing and you deserve better than whatever that horrible person did to you.”
“Thank you Steven. Truly.” You said, waving goodnight to him as you headed down the hall to their bedroom.
As you walked into the room, you felt a sense of sadness wash over you. You were alone again, and even your closest friend wasn’t going to be there to comfort you. You thought about going back out to the living room to take Steven up on his offer for a good shoulder cry, and even ask him to sleep in the bed with you, but you decided against it. You couldn’t give Marc the satisfaction of using Steven as an emotional sponge when he hid from you.
Ever since you and Marc had become friends, you knew Marc was like this, constantly wallowing in self-pity and self-loathing. You thought about the time that you two tried to date after you were nineteen and he had just turned twenty-five, and he quite literally told you that he was, too messed up to bring you down with him. He even managed to, through a night of painful sobbing of his own, tell you about the trauma that caused it all in the first place. Despite all of it, you still cared about him, and you still loved him and wanted to date him, but he refused to, as he put it, put you through that.
So the two of you had remained just friends through all that time. Over the years you got to know Steven and Jake too, and you cared for them as much as you cared for Marc, even though Jake could be a little rough around the edges at times. Right now though, you needed your best friend. You needed the man who had been there from the beginning.
He always felt like his comforting wasn’t good enough, and like you deserved a better friend. No matter how many times you told him that you didn’t need someone to hold your hand or dry your tears, that you just needed him to be there and let you talk, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Steven told you once that he thought seeing you upset bothered Marc so much that he couldn’t bear to see it without feeling the need to hide.
It didn’t matter now, he was out there, hiding from you, and you were in his bed, curled up under his blankets and wetting his pillows with your damp hair and still streaming tears. You froze when you heard the door open. You sat up and looked through the darkness and saw him standing there.
“Steven?” You asked, squinting your puffy eyes.
“No, it’s me.” Marc said quietly.
“Marc.” You said, relieved. “Come here, please.” You practically begged, holding up one end of the blanket and beckoning him to join you.
He walked over and got into the bed, laying his head down and looking at you. His eyes were so pretty, glistening in what little light the moon provided through the window above the headboard. He reached up a hand and wiped away a tear with his thumb. His hand stayed on your cheek. You smiled and leaned into his touch.
“I’m an asshole.” He said quietly.
“I know you don’t mean to be.” You said. “I know this isn’t easy for you, so thank you.”
“Come here.” He whispered, pulling you in tightly.
You nestled into his chest and wrapped your arm around him. You felt his soft breathing against your body, the beat of his heart was quick, but soothing. There was nothing you wanted more than to feel him like this forever. 
“You know, I can’t help but feel responsible for this.” He said after some time. 
You pulled back and looked up at him. “How? You didn’t have anything to do with it.”
“If I didn’t push you away all those times…” He groaned, “nevermind. You’d just be crying over something I did instea-”
You cut him off with your lips on his. It was likely he was going to push you away, and it was possible you were rebounding from what had happened with Kevin, but you didn’t care. This was what you needed right now, this was the comfort that you craved. His lips were just as soft as you’d imagined for all those years.
Marc tensed for a second, you were ready for him to shove you away in surprise, but he didn’t. Instead you felt him relax before wrapping his arms around you further. When the kiss finally broke, he just stared at you, looking from your lips to your eyes and back again before going back in. Your mouths melted into each other in sweet rhythm and repetition.
“I’m so sorry.” He said breathlessly.
“Marc, just shut the fuck up.” You said, going in for another bruising kiss.
You wrapped a leg over his and you immediately felt the hardness of his cock pressing against you. You’d had fantasies about fucking Marc before, back before you tried dating each other, and you never thought you’d actually get the chance to do it. You separated your lips from his just to place more kisses along his stubbled jawline. The moment your mouth touched the soft skin of his neck, you heard a quiet breathy moan escape him followed by a needy grind of his cock against your clothed cunt.
“Is this something you really want?” He asked. “I don’t want you to-”
“Marc!” You said, leaving his neck to look incredulously into his hooded and lusty eyes.
“Yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up Marc, I got it.” He closed his mouth over yours once more, filling you with his needy moans.
You felt his hands begin to explore from your back down to your hip as you returned your mouth to his neck. You were grinding gently against him, feeling your hand working its way down to his hip as well, and slipping into the waistband. He let out a shuttered breath when you started getting a little rougher with your neckplay, sucking the skin there between your teeth.
“F-fuck.” He whispered, churning his hips with a desperation for even the slightest friction.
“You like that, Marc?” You asked against his throat. “You like when I tease you like this?”
“Yeah, yeah I do.” His voice cracked.
You slipped your hand into the waistband further, gently running your fingertips over the shaft of his long cock. You felt him let out a soft whine as he became more desperate. He slid his hand further into your sweats as well. You hadn’t realized how wet you were until his callused middle fingertip touched between your folds. A sound somewhere between a groan and a whimper escaped you.
“Shit, you’re so wet. Damn.” He said, voice becoming more airy and hungry. He slid a finger into your hole. “And tight.”
“Think you can fit?” You asked, wrapping your hand around his girth. “You’re so thick, Marc.”
“I’m gonna try like hell.” He promised, now rolling you so that you were on your back.
You pulled your hand from his cock and reached again for his waistband, pulling eagerly in an attempt to free his erection from the cloth. He assisted you, getting his pants and underwear off before tossing them to the side as though they’d done him wrong. Then you took yours off quickly, trying to get him inside of you as soon as you could. Marc was the type that could change his mind in a moment’s notice, and you didn’t want him backing out now that he’d come so far.
Your legs were spread out under him, the cool air nipping at the wet folds. He brushed the head of his cock at your entrance, testing his size against your small hole. You weren’t a virgin, far from it, but he was bigger than anyone you’d had before, and you knew it would probably be a little painful.
“Will you let me know if I’m hurting you?” He looked at you expectantly.
“For fuck’s sake, Marc, please just-”
He grunted as he slowly pushed past your threshold and deep into you. You muttered an, oh, shit, as he pulled back out again and repeated the process. He sounded so good, groaning with every thrust to the hilt. You arched your back, trying to get him in as deep as you could. This inspired one of his hands to lift under the shirt you wore and latch to your breast. He pinched your nipple before kissing you more, stealing your moans into his mouth.
You wished now that you’d pressed harder when Marc pushed you away years ago. You wished that you’d fought him harder and made him see reason. Another thrust, deep and intentional, forcing your cunt to pulsate over him.
“You sound so good baby, your sweet moans are just…fuck.” He breathed heavily, grunting more, moving harder and faster.
He leaned back up, lifting his shirt up so he could watch himself as he fucked you. You could see it too when you leaned up. His thick length sliding all the way back, almost ready to drop out, before he pushed it back in slowly. You touched your hand to his abdomen, in love with the way it rippled with each fierce movement. There wasn’t a more beautiful sight, not one you could imagine, than Marc watching himself proudly as he filled your hole. His hair was disheveled at this point, sticking to his face, but he looked so good.
“Feels so good Marc, I don’t think I’m going to last much longer.” You whined, feeling your core heating the harder he fucked you.
“Good, I can’t wait to feel your pussy crushing my cock baby.” He was close too, you could feel it in the way his movement became more rapid, nearly bruising your cunt with the strength at which he slammed into you.
“I like it when you call me that.” You admitted. He dropped his shirt and turned his attention back to you.
“Good, that’s really good, baby.” His tone became dark and husky as he leaned forward and grabbed you tightly.
“Are you going to fill me, Marc? You gonna fill me with your cum?” You asked, feeling your climax rising inside of you.
“You want me to? I’d love that.” He buried his face into your neck. “Just tell me.”
“Yes Marc, I want you to…I need you to fill me up.” You begged. “I’m right there, I’m-oh.”
You trembled under Marc’s frame, your cunt doing just as he said he’d wanted and contracting down over his thick cock in a hard pulsating motion. You were making a sound between a scream and a groan. Marc didn’t waste time joining you, his body seizing as his cock throbbed inside of you, stretching you and filling you as full as it could. He stayed like that, holding you in an embrace that you wished would last a lifetime.
When he finally stepped back and climbed off the bed on wobbling legs, he left the room and came back a moment later with a towel. The way he tossed it at you…you knew it wasn’t him anymore. You knew he must’ve taken over when Marc walked out of the room. He crossed his arms over his chest. It didn’t matter to you that one of his alters was seeing you naked, what bothered you was the fact that it was…
“Jake. Give Marc back the body.” You demanded.
“So, are you going to tell me where Kevin lives, or am I going to have to track him down myself, cariño?”

Hey shutters, can you explain this pinch out mode thing that came out a couple days ago? I'm pretty new and I kinda don't get what I'm supposed to be doing
Alright so POO (lol) is a challenge game mode where you pick nodes from a challenge tree to unlock rewards.
So let's say you have this screen
Tumblr media
On the right of the page is a reward to unlock a skin for Justice Knight. On the left are challenge nodes. Clicking on them adds an additional modifier (like extra enemy ATK or health) to the POO (lol) stage. Here's what selecting some challenges looks like.
Tumblr media
At the very bottom, you'll see a number 80. This is the difficulty number of the current challenge.
If you want to unlock Justice Knight's skin, you'll have to beat all the challenges connected to it.
What if your team isn't strong enough to take on 4 challenge branches at once? Do you have to take them all on at the same time? No!
Tumblr media
For example, here is a reward to get Friston-3, the new Defender robot. As you can see, I've done 2/4 of the challenge branches connected to him because I'm too lazy to do anything actually hard I haven't had much time to play the event. Therefore to make it easier, I just played one branch of challenges at a time and am now 2/4 done from unlocking Friston-3.
"Shutters what if I can't even beat those challenges before the event ends? Am I barred from unlocking Friston?"
Not at all. I got curious so I tried recruiting with a Defender and Robot tag set to 3 hours (for 1 star operators) and guess who showed up?
Tumblr media
Yeah I got him before I even played the event to unlock him lol.
As POO (lol) goes by, more and more new nodes unlock that feature new challenges, and new rewards hiding behind them.
This event is meant for you to set your own challenges, so don't get discouraged if you're not doing 650 points in one go like you might see people on Youtube doing, that's for people who are at endgame strength. If you're new, just play around with the various branches and see what you can handle.

Alright, I'll steal the remaining slots before it's too late!
Social Media AU with genderbent Fenrir and MC
Krys your BRAIN. Be honest, did you see it coming that I'm going to make Fen a Twitch streamer? Hope you like it as much as I did!!!

"Damn it, he got me!"
While waiting impatiently to respawn, Fen stuffs her mouth full of chips and directs her attention to the chatbox next to her game screen instead. She tries to pay as much attention as she can to her Twitch subs, maintaining a friendly and laid-back atmosphere where she can indulge in snacks, gaming, and occasional swears while her audience contently watches her.
gentlexdemon23: Maybe if you used something other than dual pistols in this map you wouldn't suck so bad :)
Fen barely remembers to gulp down her food before reading out loud this particular comment that caught her attention, using an annoying voice for it.
"Dude, dual pistols are the best what are ya talking about? Why bother with another weapon when I've already mastered one. Dumbass."
Fen relaxes back into her gaming chair as a wall of the same comments saying "you must be new here", likely directed at gentlexdemon23, flash at a fast speed across the chat screen. Suddenly a telltale noise announces a donation, and Fen excitedly thanks the person before reading out:
alicethe2nd: Dual pistons ftw! ☜(゚ヮ゚☜) Please show us your irl collection again after the match!
Fen's bright magenta eyes all but begin to sparkle with excitement upon seeing the request.
"You mean my babies? Hell yeah! Thank you, Alice the second! Wait, are ya a chick? Or just another guy using a cute anime girl as their pfp?"
Fen's eyes scan carefully through the endless wave of lol's in fear she'll miss that one username she's looking for.
alicethe2nd: I'm a girl, haha! I'm not even into these things, I just fell down the rabbit hole and found myself watching your streams... I think you're cool!
This time Fen doesn't read the message out loud, though the way her lips move the people watching her could probably figure that the reply got to her safely. There's a brief pause that Fen utilizes to get back on track after failing to notice she's been respawned in the game. That's rare.
She's far from being so naive as to trust random fans blindly and take their word for granted, much less initiate further contact with them, even if that one sounded quite cute.
Oh well.
"Actually, ya know what? For that generous tip, I can even offer you a one-on-one call to see them up close. See chat, it's whatcha get for respecting Fen's babies! Leave me a DM, Alice."

STS tumblr takeover August challenge
-- ୨୧ --୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ --
୨୧ Theme: Power of Love || Hosted by the lovelies: @thelaundrybitch , @leosgirl82 and @post-apocalyptic-daydream 💖💗💕
୨୧ Prompt: "I can't do it anymore. I can't keep pretending I'm not in love with you"
୨୧ Characters/Fandom: TMNT; My bayverse Dark Turtle clones AU if you wanna check them out 💋💖
Decided to do this HC style
-- ୨୧ --୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ -- ୨୧ --
You dont know when you started to have a crush on (Lee/Red/Don/Mike)
All you knew is that you do
Anyone else would see them as mutants, but you saw them as misunderstood, wayward mutant turtle clones of the TMNT
And that evolved into something different between you and (L/R/D/M)
Anytime he would look your way you would look away, feeling a blush heat on your cheeks
You even started noticing that he acted different around you, too
He showed in his way that he liked you and thought of you as someone close to him
Sometimes even something he would say to you would make you feel like on ☁️💖 Cloud 9
You tried for months to make it seem like you wanted to be and stay friends with him, when he noticed your 'strange behavior'
Finally, unable to keep your feelings at bay, for about 2 weeks you didn't visit
Even sent short texts every now and then
He was worried about you, though he'd never admit it out loud to anyone
He would go to check on you, but when you texted saying that you were fine he didn't...
At least for about a week
He caught you late one night walking home
"Are you sure you're doing alright?"
You sighed deeply
You couldn't take it anymore
You had to let him know
"I..."
He waited for what you had to say
"I can't do it anymore. I can't keep pretending I'm not in love with you"
He looked at you with a wide eyed look of suprise
"There I said it. I'm in love with you, (Lee/Red/Don/Mike)"
It was silent
You didn't dare to look at him
You felt tears sting your eyes
"Even if you don't feel the same way, I just wanted to let you know... and that we'll still be friends..."
You didn't want to keep secrets from him..
You hoped this confession didn't ruin your friendship
What he said made you look up at him
"...Is that... what this funny feeling in my chest is?"
He placed a giant three fingered hand to his chest where his heart beat
You had told him about love when he asked what he felt when you two were together doing something or hanging out
You smiled
"Yes... that's love."
୨୧ TAG LIST:
He scooped you up in his arms and ran off with you
You couldn't help but let out a soft squeak when he held you bridal style
"Where we going?"
He just smirked down at you and continued on his way to take you somewhere special
His smirk made your heart race

Soft Spoken
Word Count- 961
Request?- Yes!

Summary- Being a captain in charge of such a large ship came with it’s challenges of course. Especially since you usually avoided the small talk.
Tag List- @cookielover0001010 , @swag-droid , @watchoutforfrostbite
Warnings- None
The journey of the Invincible 2 was almost…
You didn’t want to say uneventful because nothing was ever truly that dull in space. That and the more suspicious on board would crucify you for inviting fate to prove you wrong. But with your arrival still fresh in your mind you hadn’t expected the flight to go this smoothly. 
Nothing major had gone wrong in the ships systems. All of the crew and colonists were healthy and accounted for. Hell, even Mark and Celci’s animosity was at a low simmer. 
The relative peace though invited… new problems. You were the newest on board and automatically the most interesting thing for a small period of time. The number of times you found yourself on the wrong side of polite but probing small talk were too many to count. It was sweet of them to want to get to know more about you but… a little uncomfortable. You were very thankful when the interest seemed to die down.
Only it very much did not.
You weren’t the most eloquent and you usually tried to get through the day without having to talk as much. This presented a challenge to your crew. You weren’t sure who started the betting pool, probably Gunther, but whoever got you to say the most words or at the highest volume won the pot. It was a bit of a curveball when you suddenly found yourself roped into conversations you should’ve had no part of.
“Hey captain, I tweaked the ADS, wanna see how many asteroids we can blow away?”
“Captain, what do you think of this equation? I can’t quite get it to balance out…”
“Rough are the hands that guide the weary… could you hand me the number 6 wrench?”
You managed to get through most with nods or soft, one-word answers. Being captain of a ship the size of the Invincible 2 carried certain responsibilities. You were prepared for that; you knew that realm. This was something else. A bit much. If another one of your crewmates came up to you and asked if you preferred the gray or the orange jumpsuit you didn’t know what you were going to do.
The betting pool came to an abrupt end a few evenings later. 
The ship’s course on the way to a prospective colony planet was cut off by an asteroid belt. Much to Gunther’s dismay it was too thick for the ADS to punch through. The crew were gathered in the bridge room to try and come up with a solution.
“I’m just saying,” Gunther was getting annoyed at this point, gesturing to the display of the asteroids, “I haven’t met a problem I couldn’t blow up.”
Celci was rubbing at her temples. “For the fourth time, the size and amount of the asteroids are too much for the Invincibles’ guns to get through! How much do you think our shield can take?!”
“Who made you the expert on what my guns could handle?”
You sighed quietly. This was getting nowhere. Much as you hated it, you were the one who needed to keep the peace.
“Alright, shut up!”
That honor was taken from you by your head engineer. Mark had raised a hand, looking as annoyed as everyone else in the room. When he was satisfied he had everyone’s attention he turned back to the display.
“While you guys were going in circles,” he zoomed out, showing the asteroid belt in more detail, “I was plotting a new course.”
Celci rolled her eyes. “We’ve been over that too. We don’t have the luxury of a detour. That’s weeks worth of fuel.” Burt nodded along solemnly.
“Let me finish,” Mark waved a hand, moving the image to the left. “Here. This section of the belt is thinner. It’d take us a bit of maneuvering but we could squeeze through here. Concentrate the shields towards the bottom of the hull and let the ADS take care of the rest.”
The rest of the crew leaned in, peering at the image with open suspicion. “Looks like something already punched through,” Gunther murmured. 
With another nod, Mark has the new course plotted out. “Probably a rouge asteroid or comet or- whatever, doesn’t matter, point is,” he pointed at the patch with emphasis, “this is our way through.”
Throughout the room there went up a few scattered mumbles of agreement. Begrudging though it was, everyone was on the same page. You felt a bit of pride rise in you as Mark looked to the rest of the crew. And then his eyes met yours. He gave you this small, almost hesitant smile. As the display ran through a simulated flight path, you walked over to him.
A soft pat to the shoulder and you said, in a voice just as gentle, “That was great, Mark. We’re lucky to have you.”
The surprise on his face was clear and not unexpected. The faint blush across his cheeks though, was. Mark rubbed the back of his neck and smiled. “Aw, captain that’s- just got lucky is all.”
You simply shook your head and went to confirm the course. 
You didn’t notice the rest of your crew openly gaping at Mark. He hadn’t gotten in on the betting pool and hadn’t even been trying. The pot, which you’d only hear secondhand later, included several hundred credits and one of Gunther’s own pistols. Mark had gleefully accepted his “hard earned” winnings with no small amount of showboating. 
Neither of you had mentioned that you had told him something along those lines already. When you first emerged from the cryo pod, fresh off of stasis and still learning to function as a human being again.
“We’ll make it count this time, okay? You can do it.”

special challenge- each of these needs to be answered with a different fic
🌀
🌤
🌩
🌪
Ooooohkay! Big ask. Let's see if I can do your little extra challenge too while I'm at it, I've probably got enough stuff.
Under a read more, because oh dear god this got long so quickly.
So for the portal; I'll go with 'something I haven't written yet', rather than haven't posted, because when it comes down to it I have no idea if I'll write something, but anything I've not posted I'll post eventually, so yeah.
The fic is called Run (Yourself) To Death, it's a Danny PhantomxDC crossover, it was one of the first things I came up with for this fandom, and is a solid 90% the fault of Clockwayswrite's A Broken Sort of Normal because that's what introduced me to the 'quick death' ship and I found it very very cute. Idea was that Wally West doesn't end up dead after the big twister thing from Young Justice (I don't remember enough about that show to give more details) and instead sort of... falls sideways, I guess? Into a natural portal to the Infinite Realms riiiiiight as he also fades into the Speedforce and kinda ends up in this very fucked up state of not-quite-Halfa but not dead but not alive either, no connection to the Speedforce, and a developing Ghost Core. The entire story would be focused on Danny finding him and trying to help him get back to his reality, which is really really hard, and takes several years, ending with them in a relationship and also Wally as a super liminal/basically a Halfa by the time they figure it out.
I'm not entirely sure if I'm calling it Run Yourself To Death, or just Run To Death, which is why the 'yourself' is in brackets.
Sunny cloud!; favourite piece of dialogue... ok, I've got a few WIPs ongoing at the moment. Normally I'd go with the one closest to being posted, buuuuuut that fic has no dialogue. So I'll go for the next one on that list, which is Strange Aeons, the Tumblr fic.
(I spent a solid like, half an hour looking through my various WIPs trying to choose a line, because I couldn't for the life of me decide on one that I liked enough.)
“Wait, so if you’re not- related, or whatever, to the Lazarus Pit, then what are you?”
I mostly like this one because of the cliffhanger-ness of it. It's not the last line of that segment, but it's pretty close to it.
For the thundercloud; something funny/cracky from your WIP. This is hilarious, because my WIP 1 isn't really funny- or well, it is, but more in the context of irony, and WIP 2 is. Uh. Not there yet. WIP 3 and WIP 4 both have some alright ones, so I'll take this one from Parhelion, because why not.
That scent was incredibly familiar. "Did you traffic me to yourself?" He asked, incredulity too strong for nervousness. "You haven't been trafficked." Wayne replied automatically, before stilling. "Excuse me?"
Tornado! Or as it appeared on my screen, cloud with a ghost tail. Sum up a WIP with a few fic tropes/AO3 tags. Uuuh ok. Let's use Ornithology for this one, because it's currently my main WIP. I'd sum this one up with Found Family, Cryptid Batfam, Gotham City Is Weird, Gotham City Rolls With Everything, and Wingfic as my main ones. I love this fic so much. It's nearly complete, too, which is a yay.
And finally, umbrella rain. Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it... hmm. Ok this is a fun one for me, because usually if I have a fic concept, I intend to write it, no matter what? But I've definitely got something somewhere that's so old that I probably won't end up writing it just because I've got so much else to write...
digs into the box of WIPs and ideas
Ok let's pull out two fun ones that I have in this old as fuck list- specifically ones that I actually remember what the fuck that note means (looking at you, 'guitar riff bad life decisions (also AA)' like what the fuck does that mean Past Pix. What the hell is that.)
So one of them is labelled as 'Tarre Kamino aka fuck the SW timeline'. I mostly remember this one because I started writing this, and it is in fact the reason I have a Word document with my own Star Wars timeline in it, because I got so sick of trying to figure it out via the wikis that I made some guesses and made my own. I didn't write more than maybe a scene of it because it was all driving me mad, and also I couldn't figure out where to go with things, but the idea was that the Force Ghost of Tarre Vizsla is on Kamino fucking around and finding out, and basically doing his best to keep the clones safe in the face of gestures at common fanon Kamino stuff and also like, the amount of rage he's got at Jango Fett and the other Mandos on planet. Cool idea, could not figure out where to go with it aside from probably having him interact with Shaak Ti at some point, but I had a solid 10 years to get through to get there and was lost.
The second one is 'Kamino is v angery (4546B)', man I love my naming system for things, and this one had No Plot Just Vibes. Fans of Subnautica may recognise that little number-letter combo at the end, the idea was literally that Kamino had once been the planet 4546B from Subnautica. The only real idea I had to go from there involved the Leviathans, specifically the Sea Emperor, but I had no idea what I wanted to do with it outside of that.
Maybe I'll come back to them sometime.
looks up wow this is a long post, huh. Damn. Hope you enjoyed hearing all these rambles, and ta very much for the ask! It was fun to go digging through things for quotes and stuff.

WC: 790 
Tagging: @thewitchofbooks, @queen-dahlia, @canaria-blackwell, @kissmetwicekissmedeadly, @aquagirl1978, @themysticalbeing, @devildomwritersposts, @luvrsn, @namine-somebodies-nobody, @atelieredux, @violettduchess, @sarahann-1984, @kpop-and-otome, @citizensofcradle, @curious-skybunny, @littlewitty, @lordsisterxotome - If your name is crossed out I was unable to tag you. If you want to be tagged/untagged please let me know or fill out this form here.    
Leaving the stifling heat of the kitchen, you seek out your lover in the training grounds, wanting him to take a break. Finding him standing with his brothers watching the soldiers, you sneak up behind him and hug him. 
“Licht, come have a tea party with me, I made you a treat” ignoring his brothers, you give him a pleading look. 
“Alright, I suppose I can take a little bit” He begrudgingly follows you, wrapping an arm around your waist as you go to the gardens. It isn’t long before the cart with your food is brought out. 
“Sherbet?” Licht looks up with a shocked face and you nod happily at him, getting you both a bowl. 
“I made it all by myself” You watch as he takes a bite, the smile that spreads across his fills your heart with warmth. Settling into a comfortable conversation, the two of you eat the sherbet and make plans for a date soon. 
“Oh…” Licht’s disappointed voice has you glancing up. Licht is staring at his pants, a small spoonful of sherbet is sitting on his lap. Without thinking, you reach down and flick your fingers, scooping the sherbet into your mouth. 
“Ahh…” His eyes grow wide with shock at your movement. You eat a few more bites of your treat innocently as you watch his cheeks grow more red. More sherbet drips from his bowl, and you smile to yourself. His face when you scooped the sherbet, the blush on his cheeks and the bulge in his pants all point to the thoughts in his mind. Finishing your sherbert you look up. 
“You are dripping everywhere” Catching his wrist with your finger, you guide it to your lips. Pressing a kiss to his wrist, you lick a little bit of sherbet off his finger. 
“Hey-” You glance up at his protest, sinking between his legs with a smirk. His eyes widen at the implication and he leans back against the bench to keep his composure. Your name is a hushed protest as you press your mouth to his trousers, licking up the spilled sherbet. His hands lace through your hair and he tugs you up to his crotch.  
Your hands waste no time in pulling the Prince free from his confines, your hand chilled from holding the bowl, wraps around his shaft. Wanting to watch the last of his composure break, you stroke his base with your chilled hand and envelope the rest of his length with your mouth. Hearing his breath hitch and feeling the fingers tighten in your hand sends a wave of triumph and pleasure through you. Hollowing your cheeks, you set to work, wanting to feel him get worked up, enjoying the emotions flickering through his eyes. You mak a show of taking him in your mouth, pulling back enough so that he can see your lips and how they work on his cock. A bead of sweat slips down his forhead as he holds back his moans. Darting his gaze around the garden, he keeps watch to make sure no one walking by can see the two of you. Wanting his attention back on you, you take him back to your throat, a moan escaping as he hits your gag reflex. His eyes dart down to yours and like a switch a predatory gaze takes over his face. 
Your name is a growl on his lips as the hands in your hair come to life. Guiding you along his cock, Licht takes complete control. His abs flex as his hands control your head. You brace yourself against the ground, letting him use you. Pleasure pools in your mind as you hear the faint murmurs of praise through his growls. The clenching of his thighs warn you tht he is close, you sneak your hand up to cup his balls, giving him the last little push needed. You barely register the way he pushes all the way in, your mind to preoccupied with the thick ropes of cum filling your mouth. As he releases you, you sit back on your heels to catch your breath, enjoying the view of his glazed over eyes and ragged breath. His hands reach out to you, pulling you back up to his side. His thumb runs over your lips before his lips follow, still cool from his treat as he gently explores your mouth. His thumb caresses your cheek and fixes the mess he made of your hair. 
“I love you” The words are a soft murmur as your lips finally part, and his eyes fasten on yours. There is an urgency in the way he says it, the way he pulls you closer.  “I love you too”

Introduction to Nominating using a Tag Set
A tag set is a list of allowed tags that you can use when nominating for an exchange, and sign ups can use only those tags. Exchanges use tag sets for many reasons, but this exchange is using one both to help encourage matching, and to deal with the problem of non-canon tags (because if you don’t have a tag set you can only request canon tags). Last exchange we had several people unable to actually request the relationship they wanted because it was non-canon, and hopefully this will help fix that! We will be soliciting nominations to help fill out the tag set for the exchange, which is where you and this post comes in. 
Obviously you want to make sure the tags that you want to offer and request are in the tag set. How do you do that?
First thing is you go to the tag set on the archive, and click on the “Nominate” button in the top right-hand corner. 
Tumblr media
[ID: Screenshot showing the Ao3 tag set About page. It reads
About Extreme Timed Challenge MCYT Gift Exchange 2023 Tag Set Created on: 2021-01-21 Maintainers: antimony_medusa Description: Tag set for a 48 hour MCYT exchange Status: Open to the public, Nominations allowed per person: Fandoms 10 Characters 0 Relationships 10 Freeforms 0.]
Clicking through will bring you to the nomination page. Scrolling down to the nomination pane, it looks like this. 
Tumblr media
[ID screenshot showing the Tag Nominations page. It reads Tag Nominations You can nominate up to 10 fandoms and up to 10 relationships for each one. If crossover relationships are allowed, you can enter them under either fandom. Fandom 1: Relationship: Relationship: Relationship: Relationship:] I know that I want to nominate for Dream SMP, SMPEarth, Empires SMP, and Philza Season 4 Hardcore. Let’s go through those in order. 
Tumblr media
[ID: Nominations page showing Fandom is Dream SMP, and the relationships having been filled in with Philza & Technoblade (Dream SMP), Nihachu & Philza & Ranboo & Technoblade (Dream SMP), Solo: Technoblade (Dream SMP), Solo: Philza (Dream SMP), and Quackity/Wilbur Soot (Dream SMP).]
I want to offer Emduo and the Syndicate, so I put in their relationships (using the & for platonic). I also want to make sure I’m open to writing Emduo seperately, cause they’re my guys, so I did a solo nomination for each character. (I know that we’re using the “relationship” tab, but that is just a limitation of the matching system. Putting Solo before the character means that I want to see them on an individual adventure.) I’m also planning on offering romantic tntduo, so I entered them with the / to indicate that I’m open to the ship. (Not saying that I’m good at writing the ship, but for the exchange, I’ll try!)
As soon as you start typing, the archive starts offering you autocomplete options— don’t take them! The autocomplete options don’t make a distinction between servers, and this tag set does. In order to make it clear that I want both SMPEarth Technoblade and Dream SMP Technoblade, I have to type the tag out manually. 
Several of the names in the auto-complete have pips in them, so that they look something like Phil Watson | Philza. Because this is a character-focused exchange, just use the gamertag, leave the tax-filing name off of the tag. Names are entered in alphabetical order within the ship— enter tags in any order you want.
Alright, next fandom!
Tumblr media
[ID: Fandom 2: SMPEarth Relationship: Philza & Technoblade (SMPEarth), then several empty relationship lines.]
For SMPEarth I just want to nominate Emduo again, but specifically in the SMPEarth setting. I use the same relationship tag format as I did for DSMP, but change the server— I want both the anarchists AND the co-emperors.
Tumblr media
[ID: Fandom 3: Empires SMP
Realtionships: Katherine Elizabeth/Shubble (Empires SMP), Katherine Elizabeth & Shubble (Empires SMP), Solo: Shubble (Empires SMP), Cubfan135 & Shubble (Empires SMP).]
For empires, I start with Nature Wives. I’m open to seeing them as either romantic or more of besties, so I nominated both the romantic and the platonic relationship. I love Shubble, so I did a solo character nomination for Shubble too. I also loved the Hermit crossover, and I have an idea for a skulk!cub prompt, so I nominated a crossover ship. Even though Cubfan is a character from another server, because I want this story to be set in the Evermoor (on the Empires server), I nominated the relationship tag with the Empires SMP server category. 
So far I’ve been nominating all things that have a canon fandom tag, but I want to nominate for one fandom that doesn’t have a tag yet. Let’s get into it. 
Tumblr media
[ID: Fandom: Philza Hardcore Relationship: Blaze Empress/Rose (Philza Hardcore), Blaze Empress & Ender (Philza Hardcore), Solo: Philza’s Chat (Philza Hardcore), MissTrixtin/Philza (Philza Hardcore).]
There’s no drop-down autocomplete with this one, so I manually entered Philza Hardcore. I nominated the romantic relationship between the Blaze Empress and Rose, because, y’know, they should kiss, and the platonic relationship between Blaze Empress and Ender, because they should have epic battles. I nominated the Solo relationship for Philza’s Chat because my friend is planning on doing a request for a lost crow in the world, and I want to second their tag, and I nominated MissTrixtin/Philza because Parentza.  There’s still lots of space for other tags if I decide to add more, but that’s all I want to nominate for now. So I scroll all the way down the page, and click Submit in the lower right corner. 
Tumblr media
[ID: The Submit button. ]
And that’s it, my nominations are in to the mods now! 
But wait, what was that about seconding the tag? 
To encourage matching, tags won’t make it officially into the tag set until they’ve been nominated twice. While you can probably be sure that super-popular tags like Philza & Technoblade & TommyInnit & Wilbur Soot (Dream SMP) are going to be added just as a matter of course, it’s a good idea to check into the Tag Nominations channel in the discord before you submit, and collaborate with other people who are nominating in your fandom. Double-checking before you submit can help make sure that you’re not using up one of your slots on a tag that two people are already planning to submit (and always check the tag set before you submit to see if the tag you want is already there), and you can help out other people by seconding tags that you might not have thought of off the top of your head. 
A brief FAQ. Do I have to nominate every tag I plan to offer? You do not! Maybe by the time you open the tag set, every tag you planned to offer is already there. In that case, you’re golden! You can know that the tags are there ready for when you need them when you go to fill out your sign-up, and you can go back to planning your prompts.
I nominated my tags several hours ago, but I don’t see them in the tag set? Tags have to be manually approved by the mods. Potentially the mods are busy, (or asleep), or potentially they haven’t been seconded yet. If you check with the mods and your tags are just waiting for a second, it might be time to go to the Tag Nomination channel and see if you can recruit someone to second your tag. 
I nominated yesterday, but I changed my mind and want to delete one? The good news is that nominations can be modified after you click submit— to an extent. The bad news is that once a tag has been approved by a mod, it’s locked in and can’t be taken back. You have a window there before the mods get to the tag (or before it’s seconded), where you can delete, but after that you’re out of luck.
I nominated yesterday, but I changed my mind and want to add one? As long as you still have relationship lines open and the tag set is open, you can keep adding tags! They will show up in the mods inbox right away. 
My friend really wants a ship I hate in the tag set. If I nominate it to help them, will I have to draw it? Tag nomination is seperate from your sign ups. Theoretically, you could nominate entirely different tags than you end up using with your sign-up. We’d like to ask that you only nominate tags you have a decent plan of offering or requesting, as this is a technique to encourage successful matches, but there’s no one going through the tag set to make sure that we only see nominations that people also offer. In fact, we don’t even see who submitted tags, just that they’re in the inbox. So really it comes down to how much you love your friend, and how much you hate the ship.

In those most vulnerable hours right before the first light of dawn, when it’s so dark it seems like the sun will never come up again and the visions of suffering are the most vivid, he could almost lose himself in it all again. In the fear, in the pain.
He would have lost himself a while ago if he were alone with all this; but he knows now that even in his darkest moments he’s never been alone.

Shoulder to Cry On?
Tumblr media
Prompt: “I didn’t have anywhere else to go.”
Summary: Steven goes to the reader when he thinks he’s losing his mind.
Pairings: Steven Grant x reader; Marc Specter x reader
Warnings: Angst (I don’t want to give any more warnings because it’ll give away the story. There’s no blood, gore, or violence. All the warnings will be in the tags at the bottom.) No Spoilers! Occurs before the show.
Word Count: 1110 words
A/N: 1. This is for the writing challenge by @beautifulbows924!
2. This is my first time writing angst and I’m really excited about how it turned out!  I also wrote this in 2 hours and I’m really proud of myself for that!
Hope you enjoy!
Three quick knocks brought (y/n) from her computer to the door. Confused, she looks at the door and then at the clock on her laptop that reads 1:19 am. Before she could move, more knocks came through her apartment.
“(y/n). (y/n)! It’s me, Steven.” More knocks. “Are you there?”
(y/n) quickly sets her computer to the side as she hurries to the door. Opening it, she sees a very nervous, wide-eyed museum gift shop worker.
“Wha-what? Steven? What are you doing here?” She asks while letting her friend in.
He quickly walks in and stands in the middle of the room, looking around nervously and wringing his hands.
“Steven.” (y/n) calling his name brought his gaze to her. “Are you okay?”
“I-I-I didn’t have anywhere else to go.”
“Steven, what’s wrong?” (y/n) cautiously starts walking toward the nervous brit.
“I-I think I’m going crazy.” He confesses to her.
She looks at him. Her expression shows half confusion and half concern. “What are you talking about?”
“I’m losing time. Having weird dreams that seem real. I-I don’t know what to do.” He starts to wave his hands wildly as he tries to explain what’s been happening to him.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down.” She put her hands up and slowly put them on his shoulders. “Take a breath, and let’s sit down.”
He nods as she guides him to the couch she was previously sitting on. “Yeah, yeah. Alright.”
They sit down on the couch as Steven takes a breath. “When-uh-when was the last time you saw me?” He asked her after a few minutes.
She looks at him with a confused expression, but she answers his question. “It was…” She pauses to count the days. “… It was about eight da-no that can’t be right.” She pauses again to recount. “Yeah-uh-it was about eight days ago.”
“For me, it was three days ago.” Before she can say anything, he continues. “The dreams I’ve been having, they are so real. But…I don’t know what’s real anymore, and you are the only thing that I know for certain that is real….So, that I why, I came to you.”
(y/n) looked at her friend with sad eyes. “Steven…I don’t know what to say.”
“Can I stay here for the night?” He looks at her with sad eyes that she can’t say no to.
“Yes. Yes Steven. Of course, anything you need.”
“Could you-uh…” He looks down at his hands before looking at (y/n). “Could you watch over me and tell me in the morning if anything happens?” His eyes fill with nerves. “I know it’s a lot to ask, but-“
“Steven.” (y/n) cuts him off. “Of course I’ll watch over you. Besides, I have this report due in two days, so I’m gonna be up all night anyway.”
For the first time since (y/n) opened the door, Steven looked relieved. “Thank you. Thank you so much (y/n).”
She smiles at him as she gets up and goes to a drawer. “You left one of your shirts here last time we had a movie night, so you can use that.”
Steven gets up and takes the shirt from her. “Thanks.” He goes to get ready in the bathroom as (y/n) gets the bed ready for him.
By the time she is done, he exits the bathroom in his other shirt and the sweatpants he came to her house in. “You take the bed. As I said before, I’m not going to be using it tonight, so it’s all yours.”
“Uh-uh-thank you.” Steven blushes as he thinks about sleeping where (y/n) sleeps.
(y/n) laughs. “Of course Steven. Anything for my best friend.”
It stung a bit as he heard (y/n) call him her friend, but he brushed it aside as he said a quick “Goodnight” and went to bed.
(y/n) exits the room and leaves the door cracked open as she sits back down on the couch with her computer in her lap as she goes back to what she was doing before Steven knocked on her door.
In her bedroom, Steven lays down with his back on the bed as he tries to will himself to sleep. He is surrounded by her. The sheets smelled like her. Everywhere he looked was her, and if he strained his ears, he could hear her talk under her breath. After tossing and turning for a while, a voice in the back of his head tells him to sleep, and he finally lets it take over.
A few hours later, (y/n) is so deep in her work that she doesn’t move when her bedroom door opens.
“I hate you.” She says without looking up from her screen.
“I know.” The voice that answers her doesn’t have a British accent but an American one.
She looks up from her computer for the first time since he walked into the room and makes eye contact with him. “I hate lying to him Marc. When he finds out, he’s going to be devastated.”
Marc doesn’t move from his spot in the doorway. He instead ops to lean on the door frame with his arms crossed. “Yeah, well, it’s for his own protection, and you agreed.”
“I know I did.” She looks back down at her computer. “I still don’t like lying to him.”
“That’s the price for falling in love with me sweetheart.” He gives her a small and sad yet loving smile. “And I know you are falling in love with him too, and don’t even try to deny it.”
She has a slight smirk on her face while she keeps her gaze on the screen. “I won’t.” (y/n) looks up and makes eye contact with the American. Giving him a black look. “You just have to be the one to explain everything. I can’t do it…and I can’t see the look on his face when he realizes that I’ve lied to him.”
“Deal.” He takes his weight off the frame and walks over to (y/n), where her gaze is still on him. He leans down and gives her a short kiss. “Goodnight sweetheart.”
“Goodnight Marc.” She looks up at him with a small smile. “Please go to sleep. You both need it.”
He nodes and swiftly leaves the room and leaves a crack in the door just like (y/n) did when she left the room a few hours ago. She turns back to her work for the night and shakes her dead to rid herself of thoughts of the Brit and American in her bedroom.
Maybe one day she’ll be able to not lie to Steven, but for now, she just has to be his shoulder to cry on.

Lately, she was making it pretty damn hard for them to compromise. | Probably one of my all time favorite Mafia!Stucky stories I have ever read, just sadly it also hasn’t been updated in like 8 months and I keep hoping it will get updated.
Hot Doll » Skinny!MobBoss Steve Rogers x Reader — Steve Rogers is on the rise in the New York underground as you’re trying to keep your own place there. | Dark and good!
Doctor Doctor » Steve Rogers x PlusSize! Reader — (1940 Mobster AU!) You're a war widow down on her luck; and the King of Brooklyn, Steve Rogers, takes notice. | Another one of my favorites. A little bit dark as well.
The Widow » Dark!MobBoss x Reader — It’s the 1920s and everyone’s having a roaring time but you. | Trust me it’s just dark enough.
Those are just some on AO3, I would just go through Mafia AU tag and go to filter and click Avengers or Captain America.

Tumblr media
Xiao: First Kiss HCs
When you and Xiao first got together. It was a slow and steady process of learning each other boundaries and what felt comfortable. Xiao knew he was a difficult partner but you loved him and even becoming his friend was a slow and worthwhile adventure. It started off small leading from small handholding, to cuddling, to showing each other affection. But the one area that you both weren’t familiar in was kisses. He was an isolated adepti and you were an adventurer. You didn’t have any experience in being kissed and Xiao sure as hell didn’t either. Plus it was a lot more intimate and nerve wracking compared to holding hands and that was an hard hill to tackle in itself.
You didn’t mind that he wasn’t comfortable with initiating affection or never went in or talked about kisses. You were just happy that he was by your side and that your love was reciprocated. That he was comfortable in your presence and seemed content in your arms. It still made you a bit giddy when you reflected on how far you both came and that was enough for you. Xiao, on the other hand, couldn’t exactly say the same. While he was happy and he was content, he couldn’t help but feel that maybe your relationship was too one-sided? He knew that you were comfortable and okay with waiting for him to work out his issues and figuring out how to love again but he also really wanted to do more. He just wasn’t sure how to start.
It suddenly dawned on him one day when he saw you off on your next journey, that he had never really kissed you. Even a small goodbye kiss. It was usually you initiating affection or giving words of love and you always told him that it didn’t matter if he said it or not. His actions said more which always made him flush a bit. But on slow and quiet days where you were off on another adventure and Liyue was calm, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander to you. To your face, your bright eyes that would light up whenever you talked about the interesting sights you saw on your journey, the curve of your nose whenever he tapped it when you started to ramble on to much, your lips and how they would spread into a soft smile when it was just the two of you.
Xiao quickly flipped himself up into a sitting position and groaned into his hands. What was happening to him? He needed to take a walk to clear his mind again. He’s been going out a lot since he met you. He had faced an army of demons and fought in a war and yet this felt like the hardest challenge of his entire thousand year long life. He could almost hear Guizhong’s laughter at his predicament and her words of wisdom saying to take whatever problem he had and face it head on. Just without his spear. The spear needs to stay home.
So the next time you visited Wangshu Inn he asked for you to close your eyes. You complied but you were surprised, sitting by the railing facing Liyue up on the balcony. Was he going to gift you something? This was the first time he asked you to close your eyes but you trusted him. You could almost feel the anxiety waving off Xiao so you kept quiet and patient and waited for him to be ready.
He was ready. He could do this. You weren’t even looking at him so what was there to be worried about? He slowly leaned in, just hovering above your lips. But then he leaned back a bit, flushing red. He nearly chewed his lip before stopping since you probably didn’t want to taste blood. It wasn’t that he wasn’t ready or he thought that you would hate it, he was just nervous in messing up. What if his accidently transformed? What if he accidently pushed you off the railing? Even worse, what if someone showed up and saw you both like this?
Turns out he didn’t need to worry. Somewhat. Zhongli, who Xiao knew now was actually Rex Lapis in disguise, made a sudden appearance behind him. The whiplash of suddenly seeing his Master, the nervous butterfly’s fluttering in his stomach, and pep talk Xiao was trying to pound into his mind made him suddenly lurch forward and kiss you deeply. A bit too deeply as his little fangs nipped at your bottom lip.
“Zhongli!?”
“Rex Lapis?!”
You both quickly broke apart as your eyes flew open when you heard the man but also surprise at the sudden but, not completely unpleasant, pain and pressure on your lips. You could almost see the soul leave Xiao’s body when he spun around to see the surprised Zhongli. It was silent for a moment, all three of you just staring at each other. You were still processing what the hell just happened, Xiao was trying to find a way to astral project, and Zhongli was computing the fact that yes, the ever grumpy and “don’t touch me” yaksha both had a lover and was in the middle of...courting.
“Oh. My apologies. I wasn’t aware you were both occupied. I shall take my leave and visit another day then.” Zhongli simply nodded and left before you or Xiao could say anything. You both stared at the empty figure of where Zhongli was before you started to burst into laughter at the situation. You really felt bad, you did honestly, but with all the overwhelming emotions you couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m...sorry. I didn’t know he was going to visit today,” Xiao muttered as he pressed his hand into his face and groaned at the embarrassing moment. You could see the tips of his ears were getting redder by the second which made you chuckle. For such a fearsome Yaksha he was really cute sometimes.
“It’s okay Xiao. I don’t mind. But are you alright?” you stifled the last of your giggles and reached out to pull him closer and remove his hand from his red face before cupping his cheek. He huffed but leaned into your hand. He really was sometimes like a cat.
“Are you hurt? Was I...too forward?” Xiao asked but he still wouldn’t look you in the eye. The floor was very interesting this afternoon. Wood was nice. Wood was good.
“No! It was...nice,” you answered, starting to go a bit pink yourself now before you felt a stinging pain in the corner of your lip, “Ah. I think you might accidently bit my lip though.”
“I see,” Xiao was now looking at you with his piercing eyes as he watched your small pink tongue brush over the corner of your bottom lip. His attention began to focus on that small part as the world seem to narrow down. Just the two of you. But unlike when you both would lie on top of the inn and watch the sun go down he felt hungry.
“Do you-”
Before you could ask anything Xiao suddenly pounced and pressed his lips against yours in a heated kiss. He took you by surprise but you quickly recovered as you gripped the purple ribbon on his back and yanked him forward as his hands slammed against the railing, trapping you. You felt his tongue press against your lips as you slowly opened them to let him in. It was overwhelming and you were sure if you hadn’t been grabbing onto the purple ribbon you would have fell over but then a sudden deep rumble snapped you out of your trance.
“Xiao? Are you...Are you purring?” you giggled when you got a tiny but of separation from the lack of air but he frowned at you, really it looked more like a pout, before leaning over once again.  Just barely brushing over your lips as he whispered
“Meow”

Sweet Almost Goodbye
Xiao x Fem!Reader
Tags: Angst to Fluff
Sumary: Xiao had no plans to ever have a family of his own. Finding out that you are pregnant with his baby set him on edge, unsure. He's not ready.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
How are you suppose to tell him?
The news brought shock and surprise to you, it made you a bit excited and nervous.
What would Xiao think?
How will he take the news?
The thought of what his reaction may be formed a pit in your stomach. There you were, going up by the elevator of Wangshu Inn, as the sun was setting.
The closer you get to your destination, the uneasiness grew. What would happen if he lashes out? What would happen if he asked you to leave?
With a sigh, you walked up the stair that would lead to where your lover usually stays.
As you looked upon the view that the balcony provided, you saw that the sun was no longer visible, the stars starting to show up.
"You've arrived." Your heart swell at the voice of your lover, a smile forming on your face. Looking back at him, he eagerly walked up to you and greeted you with a gentle hug.
The first few weeks of your relationship was quite awkward, back then he could not even hold your hand without being as stiff as a board.
"Can I hug you?"
"I don't think that's necessary."
"But... I really want to."
"I am... not familiar with mortal rituals. I would not be the best for those kind of activities."
"Pfft... It's just a hug, Xiao. Plus you do these 'mortal rituals' with people you love. Now come here, silly Yaksha."
And surely enough, your first hug was not very comfortable, but it was a moment you would never forget.
Pulling away from the hug, you sighed heavily. Xiao did of course noticed the change in your attitude.
Where is that bubbly, cheerful, all smiles Y/N that he has grown to love?
Something must be off.
You looked down, how do you start off?
The silence filled the atmosphere with tension. Your hands started to shake.
"You seem like you're not yourself today." Xiao had broken the silence, something he usually doesn't do.
Looking up into his eyes, you grabbed both his hands in yours. "There's this very important thing that I need to tell you." Your grip on him tightened, hoping for him not to disappear.
His face showed confusion and somewhat worry, the look on your face told him that the matter was serious.
"You know how lovers would slowly grow? How they would be faced with many things and challenges in life together?" You started, not knowing exactly what to say. Through his confusion, he nodded.
"Well.... we may be going through one of those things." You whispered in a hushed tone. He didn't get it.
Was something wrong?
Has something happened that would affect your relationship?
"Xiao..." You silently called out his name.
"I'm... well..." You felt his hand squeeze yours, silently telling you to just say it.
"I'm pregnant."
He let go of your hands immediately, and your heart ached at his action.
Oh no...
He let out a chuckle. Slightly backing away, looking at you with an expression that had your eyes swelling with unshed tears.
"S-surely this has to be a joke." Xiao said in a quiet voice.
'What was that supposed to mean?' His words sent needles to your heart.
"We're gonna have a baby, Xiao." You said stepping closer to him, but he raised his hand, telling you to stop.
You held your hands to your chest, your heart pounding so fast. "It means that our love has blossomed."
"No." Xiao turned his back on you. "I didn't.... I didn't want this."
"X-xiao?" You stuttered, he surely didn't mean that right? He loves you, you loves him. Sure it wasn't expected, but you promised yourself to welcome your baby with open arms, teach them, show them the good in the world, love them with all your heart.
"I never wanted to start a family." He looked back at you, frustration in his eyes. "I thought that it would just be you and me. I didn't want a... a burden!" His words shocked you, a mix of emotion swirled inside you, pain, frustration, dissapointment.... anger.
How dare he say that about your baby?!
"Xiao, this is your child your talking about!" Tears started to fall from your eyes, staining your cheeks. "Why would you say that?!"
No, it doesn't matter how much you love him, he doesn't get to say those things about your baby. You believed that your baby is special, and you're not going to stand for the bastard you love to tell you that they are nothing but a burden.
"How could you?!" You stomped closer to him, your hands balled into a fist. "Here I thought that you are so amazing. That you're not the murderer that you claimed yourself to be."
You let put a sob.
"But no!"
You punched his chest.
"You don't deserve to be loved!"
Punch.
"You don't deserve to be happy!"
Punch
"You don't deserve a family that will love you."
You throw a weak puch at his chest, letting more of your tears fall as you sobbed.
He held you wrists pushing you back a bit to look up at him with your glossy eyes. What hurt even more is that he seemed unfazed, unaffected.
"I don't need you to tell me what I don't deserve. You're right, I don't deserve those things." He calmly said, letting go of your wrists. "And I... would feel at ease if you just leave." Before you could even respond, he vanished, leaving you to break down onto the floor, covering your mouth to silence your sobs.
He left you with tears and a broken heart.
2 Months Later
Your mother has been very helpful in taking care of you and your baby. Giving you tips and advice for a healthy pregnancy. You now stayed your parents' house in Qingce Village, a more quieter place than the Harbour.
You had told her of what happened between you and your 'previous lover' two months ago, crying into her arms as she saw you on your heartbroken state. Your father was not at all happy with Xiao's wrong doings towards you.
But you reassured your parents that it no longer matters, what matters now is your baby being well taken care of. And with that, you must take care of yourself as well. So no thinking about that Adeptus bastard.
In Wangshu Inn however, Xiao has felt that your departure has left a hole in his heart, everyday, every night alone on the balcony of the Inn, the place that you two once shared as a place to openly be together and express your love towards each other.
He would sometimes look at the guests of the Inn at the ground floor. He would see families spending time together, all smiles and happiness. Is that what it's like to have a family?
Sure, family comes with it's problems and such. But... it's family, people that will be your home and happiness.
Verr Goldet has noticed that you no longer go to the Inn and the Adeptus has grown more melancholic than usual. Something was definitely wrong between that two of you, she would think.
Xiao would look at the view provided by the balcony. He admits that he was looking for you from there, maybe you would come back to him. But he caught no sight of you.
Every time he would go out, he told himself that its to "scare off evil and cleanse the land", but he just used that as an excuse to look for you.
He found you, of course, since you aren't really hiding from him. But, even then, what would he say? Of course he should apologize, but how? He doesn't know any of that stuff.
But he has to make a decision....
"Alright, Y/N. Why don't you have a little rest while your father and I go to the village square?" You just nodded as they exit the house. Some alone time would be nice.
You were standing in front of a full body mirror in your room, shirt rolled up to show your baby bump. You were thinking about names for your baby just earlier. Even though it's gonna be a few months till they're ready, you just find naming them makes you smile.
"How about, if your a girl, I'll name you... Crystal? Or maybe Rose? Or Amethyst!" You laughed a little, seemingly having a conversation with your unborn baby. " But if your a boy... Hmmm...." You caressed your baby bump.
"I haven't thought about anything yet, but I'll tell you when I do, baby." You whispered with a smile.
Then, suddenly a green and black smoke appeared and revealed a person that made your smile drop.
"Y/N" Xiao quietly called out your name, looking at your eyes through the mirror. Sighing, you pulled down your shirt and turned back to face him.
He looked down at your stomach, his heart swelling at imagining that a baby is inside you, your and his baby is inside you.
"Didn't think I'd see you again." You let out a bitter laugh, making the man in front of you wince a little. "What are you doing here?" You asked with a rather harsh tone.
"I mean no harm." He started looking at you with a sense of nervousness within him, your unexpressive gaze made him feel crushed.
"I just want to apologize. And see how you and our baby are doing." He seemed to be hesitant in reaching out to hold you. But you, you were seething, did he just say 'our'?
He acted so childish, so cold and now he came back to apologize and immediately think that all will be fixed.
"Y/N..." You were pulled out of your thoughts by his call, you looked back at him with a glare. "I... love you. So so much." He stepped closer but this time, you raised your hand up and stopped him. "I wasn't ready, I was scared of what's gonna happen." Xiao added.
"I was scared too." Your eyes started to become glossy. "But I thought that you would be there." You looked up to him with your teary eyes, showing him your vulnerability once again. "I was wrong." You shook you head, his features softened and you notice the tears start to form in his eyes as well. "I shouldn't have expected too much. It's for the better we split up rather than stay in a relationship that will no longer contain love."
"If you're here for closure, Xiao. I can assure you that me and my baby will be just fine." You smiled despite the tear that managed to fall out of your eye.
He shook his head, quickly taking a hold of your hands and kneeling onto the floor. "Xiao, what are yo-"
"Please..." He brought your hands to his lips kissing them gently, you felt a few of his tears fall onto your hands. "Please forgive me. I'm truly sorry, my love." He was full on crying. You tried to take your hand back, but he didn't let you.
Still, the thought of you wanting to pull away from him made his heart ache. He didn't wanna let go of your hands. "I'm sorry about everything I said about our baby. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." He kept repeating over and over. "I'm so stupid! I can just never treasure things that are important to me!" He felt frustrated of himself.
"Xiao, stop!" You demanded, pulling him back up to his feet. Once he looked at you, your heart clenched at the sight of his tear covered face, his hair messier than usual, his eyes held pain and regret.
"W-what exactly do you want?" You stuttered, rubbing your thumb along his knuckles. "D-do you want me to just forgive you... and then you'd walk away?"
He shook his head. "I-i want you." He whispered, coming closer, he hugged you, resting his chin on your shoulder.
"I want our baby." He pulled away, kissing you forehead.
"I want my happiness." Then his kissed your nose.
"I want my family, my everything." He then kissed your lips, the feeling of his soft lips on yours felt refreshing, something you didn't know you missed due to all the other emotions inside you. You both pulled away to catch your breath.
"Please, let me have my family."
"Oh, Xiao..." You caressed his cheek, feeling the wet tears that had fallen from his amber eyes. "We're here, we're your family." You both looked down at your baby bump, both of you smilling.
One Hour Later
As you and Xiao cuddled on the couch together and silently whispered sweet words to one another, the door opened, your parents walking in and were shocked to see the Adeptus and you snuggling.
"Aha! I see that you're the one who broke my babygirl's heart!" Your father exclaimed, much to your surprise.
"Xiao was it. Now I don't care if you two already made up. I'm still gonna talk to you about how to properly treat my baby." You laughed when Xiao let go of you and sat up straight.
You were surprised that he didn't pull the 'no respect for the Adepti' card.
"Papaaaaa." You whined as your father led Xiao into the kitchen to talk.
Your mother sat beside you and looked at your face. "I see that you two have been crying." She caressed your cheek.
"I'm just really happy right now."
