─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You stared at the bright blue sky and let out a long sigh. It was a pretty day, warm and breezy, and quiet. You enjoyed the quiet on the rare occasions you found it; today it was almost too loud. The tranquil stillness almost reminded you of the times before the world fell apart; familiar and calm. The wind was whistling softly through the tall grass and you tried to focus on the sound. Your eyes closed, the sun warming you up and slowly managing to lull you to sleep. It hadn’t helped that you had been exhausted lately. It hadn’t helped that you were pregnant.
You hadn’t meant to get pregnant. Not really, not now anyway. Maybe one day in the future…if there was a future other than the current reality. You hadn’t been sure you wanted to bring a child into this reality. But it was too late to worry about that. 
You still hadn’t told him. It wasn’t that you were keeping it from Joel intentionally…well, you supposed you were. You’d meant to tell him, and you would…soon. It was obvious you were pregnant now, and within a community such as yours, it wasn’t going to stay quiet for too long. You knew other women that had babies throughout the years now, but you had just never imagined that it would be you too. 
More than anything you were surprised that he hadn’t put two and two together. He must have thought that you were sleeping around if he hadn’t realized he was the father. It made you laugh in a very unamused way; did he really not see that you only had eyes for him? Or perhaps he didn’t feel the same way about you. The reality stung a little bit…you thought you had been growing close to him, thought you might actually have something. But he’d barely even looked at you lately. 
It was a fine mess you’d gotten yourself into.
─── ・ 。゚���: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
“Come on, little blob,” you groaned as you struggled to sit up. Your bump wasn’t huge yet, but it was already making some everyday things harder. It took a moment to pull yourself to your feet, but once you did, you stretched, enjoying the popping in your joints, “we gotta get back. We have to do some laundry.”
When you turned around you almost shrieked in surprise. You hadn’t heard him come, hadn’t sensed his presence in the slightest. You wondered how long he had been standing there.
“Joel,” his name was just a mere whisper from your lips, “w-what are you doing here?”
“Can we talk?” he asked softly, his voice almost cracking, “please?”
Your heart beat rapidly as you tried to figure out why he would want to talk to you. He’d been basically avoiding you and now he wanted to speak. It was almost laughable in some ways. You nodded one, “sure.”
“Will you come to mine?” instead of verbalizing an answer you started to walk towards the makeshift town, waiting for him to catch up. He trailed after you, hands in his pockets before catching up with you and walking side by side. It was silent between the two you, only the crunch of gravel underneath your feet. You were feeling a million things all at once, including nauseous, but you knew this time it wasn’t from the baby. 
He let you inside, closing the door after you as you stood there awkwardly. You’d been there countless times before but something felt so different today, “you can sit you know.”
“‘m okay,” you insisted. Petulant. Tired. Heartbroken. He nodded as he stood there and leaned against the kitchen counter, “back hurts…it helps to stand sometimes.”
“Mmm,” he nodded as if he understood. You supposed he did in some ways; you weren’t the first pregnant woman in his life. He paused for a few moments before meeting your eyes, “when were you going to tell me it’s mine?”
“When are you going to stop running away from like I have the plague?” you countered in a sharp tone, crossing your arms over your chest, “you haven’t even looked me in the eye since everyone found out that I’m…pregnant.”
“It’s not that-”
“Then what is it, Joel?” you wiped at the tears that had already welled up, “because it sure seems like some suspicious timing.”
“How was I supposed to know it was-”
“Because you’re the only one I’ve been with!” you almost shouted at him, “did you really think I was going around just whoring with a bunch of different guys?”
“I…I don’t know,” he sighed heavily and rubbed his hand over his tired face, “I guess I don’t know what I thought.”
“Yeah?” you scoffed and hung your head, “I hope you know how shitty that feels to hear. You think so little of me - of what I thought we had…I really cared about you, Joel.”
You were really over having this conversation and felt like it was going nowhere. You tried to push past him, but he stopped you, fingers wrapping around your wrist, “don’t just walk away.”
“Why not?” you pulled your arm out of his grasp and met his hard gaze, “give me a reason to stay.”
“You can’t just…” he groaned, frustrated with himself more than anything. He was a grown man, he should have things figured out by now and yet he felt like he knew nothing. This was an unprecedented type of thing and he felt so confused and lost. The one thing he did know was that he didn’t want you to be upset. He just wanted you to protect you, keep you safe, and…fuck. He loved you - he knew that much. But he was sure that you wouldn’t believe him right now. Before you could turn around he blurted out, “I’m scared.”
“You’re scared?” you were incredulous, your question coming out with a snort of amusement, “you’re scared, Joel? How the fuck do you think I feel? I’m pregnant, I’m alone, and you - the father of my child - have been icing me out. I’m scared too. But I could at the very least use a friend. You can’t even give me that.”
The two of you looked at each slightly, chests rising and falling rapidly. When he didn’t say anything else you walked out the door and let it slam behind you. You half wondered if he would come after you, try and fix this, but you didn’t hear a sound behind you. Alone. Again.
You should have been used to it by now. 
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You spent the night tossing and turning, unable to find a comfortable sleeping positive and unable to let go of the thoughts of Joel. Admittedly, you did feel a little bad with how you reacted and practically yelled at him. But you also hadn’t been lying when you said you were scared and hurt too.
That’s all you were, you supposed. Two scared, hurt individuals that had come together and fallen in love. Or something like it. Love adjacent. You weren’t quite sure if you were ready to admit you were in love with Joel. But you definitely did love him. It was…complicated. 
And as much as it was complicated, you wanted to make things right. You understood why Joel was scared; his wife had left him and then he’d lost his baby girl, Sarah, at the start of all of this mess, and then he’d almost lost Ellie too. You could glean why he was hesitant to form close relationships and bonds, let alone bring a child into the world. 
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about you…he was just scared. And that was valid. But you still held onto the hope that maybe, just maybe, the two of you would be able to figure it out all. If he still wanted…you weren’t about to force him to be in the child’s life if he didn’t want to be. But then again, it would get interesting as the child got older considering everyone knew everyone’s business. 
When you couldn’t take it anymore, you slid off the bed and put on your shoes, pulling on a cardigan as you got ready to go out and see if he was still awake. It was late, but Joel kept odd hours, so you figured it was worth a try. 
You didn’t make it very far. When you opened the door, you found Joel on the other side, his eyes widening in surprise. His hand was raised and poised to knock; despite everything that had happened lately you both laughed softly. Clearly this was something that was important to you.
“Can I hug you?” the question was almost whispered, his closing as you tried to gauge your reaction. You felt a lot of things in that moment, but most importantly you realized that yeah, you really, really wanted a hug. And not just any hug - a hug from Joel. 
“Yes,” you wrapped your arms around him and you pulled you into his warm frame, enveloping you in the best hug you’d had in a while. He was so familiar that you couldn’t help the small sound that escaped your lips. This was definitely exactly what you had needed, even if you hadn’t known that. You buried your face in his neck, inhaling his familiar scent, practically going boneless into his touch, “Joel.”
“I’m sorry,” he breathed out heavily, shaky and nervous, but at the same time relieved. He pressed a kiss to the side of your head, rubbing your back in soothing circles. Joel always did give the best hugs, “sweetheart, I am so sorry.”
“Hey,” you pulled back and gave him a soft smile. You reached for his hand and pulled him inside, “I’m sorry too, Joel.”
“What are you sorry for?” you dragged him over to the couch and sat down, motioning for him to do the same. You looked at him with soft eyes before shrugging lightly, “I feel like there’s a whole lot more I should be sorry for.”
“How about we just talk about it and not be sorry?” you suggested and a little half smile tugged up the corner of his mouth, “I feel like we can figure it out.”
“We can,” he agreed, looking you over. You didn’t miss the way that his eyes lingered on your belly, “I shouldn’t have just assumed…anything. I should have just come and talked to you. Right away.”
“I tried to tell you,” your breath hitched slightly at the feeling of his hand on your knee. You’d missed his touch more than you had realized. Even just a simple gesture such as this, “but I knew that people were already talking. They’d seen me with a few of the other guys - and you - and just assumed I fucked them all. Joel, I hope you know and that you believe me when I say that I never slept with anyone else. I didn’t want to, I still don’t want to. They were just friends. You and I…we had something special. When I found out and you acted so indifferent it just…hurt.”
“I didn’t…ever think that it was anyone else,” he confessed to which you made a small sound of surprise, “I knew you wouldn’t have…I guess I was just…shocked. It was the last thing I was expecting. I never thought that this would happen.”
“Me neither,” you laughed softly, “obviously I never planned to get pregnant, I never really wanted to…the idea of bringing a child into his world is scary. I didn’t even know if I really wanted to keep it at first but…well, here we are.”
“I wish I wouldn’t have been such a coward,” he laughed bitterly, “maybe things could have been better.”
“As much as I want to be mad at you, I know you weren’t a coward,” you put a finger under his chin and tilted his face up towards yours, “I know you were scared. Just like me.”
“I’ve been thinking a lot about it all,” he took your hand in his and traced aimless shapes on your skin, “about Sarah…about Ellie. And the idea that I could have another child and maybe something horrible would happen took over. It was all I could think about. And then I realized that if this was how I was feeling, I couldn’t even imagine what you were feeling. And I had left you all alone.”
“It was hard,” you flipped his palm over and repeated the gesture on him, “lots of nights of sadness and frustration. But...I’m still here. It’s okay. It’ll be okay.”
“What if it’s not?”
“We can’t think like that,” you insisted, “I know this world is different than anything we dreamed of, but that’s just what it is. And I don’t want to fear it all the time. I want…I don’t know. But I don’t want to be afraid all the time. I want to be able to enjoy this moment, t-this baby.”
“You’re right,” he agreed, nodding his head softly, “you’re right.”
“I’m not saying that you have to be a part of this Joel,” you promised, hoping that it would serve as a little bit of solace, “you don’t have to be a part of the baby’s life. Not unless you want to. You don’t have to make a decision now, but we can figure it out.”
“I want to,” he insisted and when you met his soft eyes you could see that he was being honest, “I really do want to.”
“Yeah?” you felt a wave of emotion wash over you and Joel reached over to wipe away the tears that you hadn’t even realized had rolled down your cheeks, “are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure,” he brushed his thumb over the apple of your cheek, “I…I really want this. I want you.”
You gasped at the revelation and he smiled lightly. You opened and closed your mouth a few times as he nodded, “Joel…”
“I don’t want you to think I’m just saying that. I love you,” he whispered, softly but so loudly at the same time, “I’m not just saying it. I mean it and I hope you always know that. I’m just sorry I didn’t realize it sooner o-or tell you sooner.”
“It’s okay,” you gave him a tearful nod, “I think we both had a lot to think about before we got to this point. I love you too, Joel.”
He made a small sound as you laughed lightly, a sound that went straight to his heart. He swallowed thickly as you leaned and pressed a kiss to his cheek, “I don’t know if I deserved that.”
“I don’t know if you did either,” you grinned sweetly, “but you can work for it. Earn it back. If you’re up for it.”
“Yes,” he promised, “absolutely.”
“Good,” you worried your bottom lip between your teeth and Joel thought he might die from the sight. You looked in the direction of your bedroom and motioned with it towards your head, “do you want to stay?”
“You sure?”
“I haven’t been sleeping well,” you rubbed a hand over tenderly over your bump, “maybe have you there would help.”
“Maybe…”
“It’s worth a try,” you slowly stood up and held out your hand, “c’mon. We’ll figure it all out, I promise.”
“We will,” he took your hand again, and laced his fingers through yours, “I swear we will.”
“Okay.”
“Okay,” he pressed a kiss to the crown of your head, “I love you.”
“I love you too.”

Any dad headcanons for the monster trio? (+ Law if you don’t mind)
(also love your writing btw!!)
A/N: I just seen a edit a while ago of Sanji being so good w kids n so I must— thank u btw!:) Imma add Cora because omg we need more writing with him:(
One Piece Men as Daddies (Fluff)
Black Fem Reader in Mind
CW: None! Except the mommy (the reader) is kinda a menace.
Ft. Zoro, Luffy, Law, Sanji, Corazon
Sanji
Tumblr media
Top 2 Best Dads and he ain’t number 2 fr
He spoils his kids more than you now I’m sorry :(
He doesn’t realize this and swears he loves you both equally
I can most definitely see him having a daughter as his first child and yes you and her are his Queen and Princess
His daughter is a simp just like his daddy
His daughter stresses him out so much because she loves drooling over every guy she sees omg
“STOP IT, SAMMIE!”
“Sweetheart she’s a baby she doesnt e—“
“ARE YOU STARING AT MY CHILD?!”
Sanji needs to throw all kinds of kicks when he is with his babygirl
God help him when she’s a teenager
He loves cuddling you both while watching Disney movies
He teaches his sweet girl the importance of how a man should treat her if she somehow gets one
“You can’t get married until you’re 25.”
“Sanji she’s just 3 right now.”
“Okay make it 30.”
Okay ngl when you were having the baby he made the mistake of looking down between your legs and the baby’s head was just barely peaking and he passed out.
He still has a bit of subtle nose bleeds when you were breast feeding too
He keeps mementos of every single thing his child has; drawings, fallen teeth, etc he keeps it in a box in his side of the closet
Due to his childhood he tends to worry he will turn into his biological father. He confided to you about this issue while you were pregnant and you nipped it in the bud and told him that he was and will never be like him and Zeff would be proud of the kinda man and future father he turned out to be
Both cried that night.
Also he is completely aware what happens to a woman’s body after pregnancy and will always remind you no matter how much your body changes he will still see you so beautiful.
He will be just like Zeff to his son. Teaching him the same way and all.
Zeff is the granddaddy btw. Sanji takes his kids to visit him often.
He usually takes the kid(s) off your hands for a day if he sees you feel stressed
100000000/10 daddy and yes he will be pumping more into you again if you’re up for it🤍
Luffy
Tumblr media
Two Luffy’s running around in your home
Make it 3 because I can see him having twins
They stress you out sm.
“STOP PUTTING THE BABIES UP ON TOP OF THE SHELF ONE DAY THEY GONE SAY FUCK IT AND BUST THEY HEAD—“
“I GOT THEM Y/N!”
Man didn’t have a clue in the world how to be a daddy. So he went to Rayleigh panicking KSSHSJJSS
He’s a very chill parent so you have to be the stern one and it sucks sometimes
Yes the kids like daddy more than you
Almost every night when Luffy is home he puts the twins to bed with telling them of all the stories he had with you when he was young
“And I met your mommy on a different island! She didn’t like me at first but now she’s in love with me! Heheheeh!”
Kids have the same shishishi laugh as him cracks you up each time they do it in sync
You made the mistake of leaving the three of them at home as you went to go shopping and came back to a wrecked home and the three of them eating meat on the floor
He tells them about Ace a lot.
He actually named one of the twins after him
Encourages them to be what they want in life even if they want to be a pirate
Sabo is ofc the nice uncle that comes barring gifts
Sanji and Zoro are the Goddfathers
9/10 daddy that still is learning to be a daddy
Zoro
Tumblr media
It’s canon this man is amazing with kids so off bat he’s top 3.
Since he has so much experience he was really good with handling the baby when he was first born
At least 17 times during the time yall son was a baby he tried nursing from Zoro and he hated it sm he couldn’t even take a nap shirtless with him
“STOP LAUGHING!”
“He Just Like me for real.”
“ENOUGH.”
The second the baby was able to walk he already wanted to train him into being a swordsman
“HES A BABY!”
“HE IS A GROWN MAN—!”
He will most definitely kill for you both
You annoyed him so much during your pregnancy because you wanted to leave the house but he didn’t want you getting hurt
You’ve caught him training with your baby son swaddled on his chest (like that one filler episode of him babysitting) and you nearly choked him out because wtf is he swinging around a sword so close to y’all baby.
He did gain some weight too during your pregnancy but immediately shredded off after you poked his belly
He loves his son but as he got older he started to have beef KSSHSHSISK
His son is a mamas boy and so whenever Zoro wants to have alone time with you it’s like he had a 6th sense and barged in ruining the moment
It’s so funny seeing them argue over who gets to cuddle you for the night
He plans to give your son one of his old swords when he gets older if he decides to be a swordsman
Luffy is the Goddfather and Sanji is ofc the cool uncle that comes to visit
100000/10 Zoro is a wonderful daddy
Law
Tumblr media
He is the strict dad
You both had a daughter and she annoys him a lot just like you did when you both were dating
“Imma get tatted like you daddy.”
“You’re 13.”
“So?”
“NO—!”
He was the one to deliver y’all baby
The doctor side of him popped out when you were pregnant he never let u leave the bedroom. He even bathed you a lot which in turn have had him have sex with you in the tub
“Orgasms can help soothe you as you’re pregnant, y/n.”
“…the hell you read that at.”
He talks about Cora to you and your baby while you both were were sleep after pregnancy.
When your daughter turned 21 you and her convinced Law to get the same matching tattoo as him on her hand and even though he acted like he was against it he was ecstatic
He has scared off so many of your daughter’s boyfriends pls
He took off the head of one because he kept staring at YOUR boobs
Law likes to study with his baby girl on his lap.
You’ve walked in on him sleep on his chair with the baby cuddled on top
120/10 Law is an outstanding responsible daddy
Corazon (Rosinante)
Tumblr media
TOP BEST DADDY SHUT UP HEAR ME OUT
Matching clothes
He’d have a daughter :( lil Rosie Aksbsjdksk
Yes he’s clumsy but he’d rather die than have you or his baby hurt
He didn’t stop smoking but he does only do it outside
You catch him doing stupid faces and stunts to make you’re daughter laugh when she’s sad and she eats it right tf up
Yes she is a daddy’s girl
He carries you both around with ease
If he notices you feeling insecure about your body post birth he’ll feel a tinge of guilt but smother you in kisses and appreciation about how he doesn’t care about how you look he still loves u sm
And if that doesn’t work he’ll just show you…naked…in the bed….
Sex he’ll show u with sex
Law is like the older brother and he may not act like it but he loves seeing Cora so happy with you and the baby
Scares tf outta you when he is outside throwing your 4 months old baby in the air tho
He uses some of his methods when he was raising Law to raise your baby
Gets so emotional when your daughter reaches out for him
“BABY LOOK AT OUR BABY SHE LOVES ME!”
“You’re her daddy, Cora of course she loves you.”
Just like Sanji saves every core memory he can of your baby daughter
Let’s her put on his makeup . It came out horribly but he proudly wore it the whole day
He needs to kiss you both before leaving or else he will have a terrible day
One time you and the baby surprised him with a cake just as a thank you for everything he has done for you and he fell off the chair crying
He cries a lot
Wants to have like 3 more babies with you

Can I request a Vox x Trans!(FtM) reader? Perhaps some fluff- like maybe the reader gets sorta made fun of for not being cis and goes to Vox to complain/cry about it to him??
Idk, this is my first request 😭
"I just wanna talk to 'em." -- Vox.
Tumblr media
------- Summary: You get outed and harassed for being transgender and Vox won't let it slide. Pairing: Vox x (TRANS) MALE! Reader Warnings: Angst, Transphobia, Possessive behavior, Implied NSFW. Enjoy. (+ also, happy Easter to anyone who celebrates!) --------
You were used to it, the harassment and all. Before you found yourself, struggling to push denial away and become the man you truly were -- there was judgement everywhere. No matter where you were, it came in all shapes in sizes. The more you started passing, the less it started to happen. But you'd always remember those humiliating moments, those moments of feeling like the odd one out. You sat there and took it like a man, cause what else were you supposed to do? When you found yourself in hell, you asked yourself if it was because of who you were. That was quickly shot down the moment you realized it was because you took a life. Totally forgot about that, silly you! Though, looking down at your new form, you were immediately disappointed that whoever organized the designs, couldn't have at least got this one issue of your fucking back. Maybe that was your punishment, because truthfully -- all you wished for was to be a biological man. Why would they give that to you if you were in...Hell...? Shit, you must have hit your fucking head or something. You immediately found your place in Hell, the Vee's made you feel at home. You knew you were a shitty person right off that bat if that's how you felt about these three. They were all terrible, and you fucking loved it. Especially Vox. You found yourself favoriting his bratty personality over the other two. They took note of this, teasing you about it constantly. Vox was blinded at the time of all your non-subtle hints, too blinded by his own anger of some fucking buck making himself known into Hell. Eventually you two tied the knot, not in a marital way, but if it was you'd make him wear the bridal dress. Not because of who you once were perceived to be but because you thought he'd look way better in it than you would. You told him this and he just straight up walked away from you. "Absolutely FUCKING NOT!" He exclaimed, not turning his back to face you. You let out a mischievous giggle. You truly felt less anxious around these three. Your boyfriend, a lovely sassy woman who you considered a sister, and an absolute fucking freak.
--- "Hey babe, can you remind Vel about the dinner we have later tonight with that new client? Knowing her stingy ass, she probably forgot already. She takes like 3 light years to get ready." Vox requested, groaning at the end of his sentence at the thought of Velvette putting together an outfit. You watched it occur, it was...life changing for sure. You nodded and gave him a thumbs up, leaning over to kiss his screen. "What're you leaving me forever and never coming back?" He joked, turning to you from the chair he was sitting in. You shrugged your shoulders with a smile as you walked off, waving at him with just your index finger. It was just a silly thing you did. You trademarked it. Making your way downstairs, you saw a group of people in Velvet's station, assumedly models as they looked physically stunning. You scouted the area for Velvet, not finding even a glimpse of her hair around. You turned to the group of models, your face flushed. "Excuse me." You spoke as loudly as possible. They all turned to you with a raised brow and an irritated look on their faces. One man smiled widely, "What can I do for you little girl?" He laughed, the rest joining. You raised a brow, your face clearly showing your anger. "Not a chick, nor am I little. Have any of you pricks seen Velvet?" You ask, emphasizing on the insult. "Are you a transvestite?" "Maybe he's just gay." "What's in your pants, little man?" "It's getting embarrassed, look at it's face!" You felt the tears swell up in your throat, you begin scratching at your hip as an attempt to take out your own anger. "Fuck you cunts." You mumble, walking away as fast as you could, not allowing them to see you cry. You felt the hot streams of tears rolling down your face as you made your way back up to Vox's office. You slammed the door open and began yelling. "Who the fuck are those douche bags downstairs?! Why would you guys hire them?!" You scream, the testosterone getting to you. Vox jumped up from his spot and rushed over to you, his screen like face glitching out in anxiety.
"What?! What people?! The fuck are you talking about?? I literally asked you to just go talk to Velvet??" He didn't respond to strong emotions from others well, so he just began getting angry and nervous back at you. "Those fuckers downstairs! Kept fucking asking me about my junk!" You cry, wiping your tears. You hadn't dealt with this in so long you forgot how to collect yourself. "Babe people do that all the time here, it's nothing personal." "THIS WAS PERSONAL! They asked me if I was a fucking transvestite, making fun of me saying I look like a chick, this and that! It fucking sucked! I sat there and did fucking nothing and ran the fuck away. like a shit ass fucking coward." At this point you were swearing like a sailor who forgot how to curse, you were so angry you didn't know what to say. Nobody had any right to treat you that way. What made them think that they could? You could see Vox getting visibly angrier each word you spoke. "Those mother fuckers." He grumbled, patting your back before heading downstairs with a walk of purpose. You stood there, rubbing your eyes realizing... you totally just got them fucking killed. again. You smiled, the realization of how Vox cares for you settling in and pushing the anger away. You turned to sit by the door, a smile on your face still as your tears dried away, you hummed whatever you could to calm you down. There was screaming, pleading, god knows whatever noise you make when you get torn in half being made from down in Velvets station. Oh, what a pity. Suddenly it stopped, and you heard Velvets voice -- she was screaming at Vox, clearly angry that she just lost her blood filled mannequins. You giggled. There were steps getting closer and closer, before Vox walked through the door, looking down at you. You looked up at him, your eyes lidded with a smile. "You okay?" You asked, hearts in your eyes. He shrugged and nodded gently, "I'm alright, you?" You giggled again as he picked you up from your spot on the ground and kissed you lovingly. "Your fucking insane." You mumble against his lips. "Mhm." He makes a noise in agreement, only making you laugh again and smacking the back of his TV head. "Velvet canceled the dinner by the way, if you wanna just stay here. And fuck." "Nice one." "Dude, I don't even know who said that?" "Me neither, dude." "Okay, it's not cool when you say it." "Say what, dude?" "Shut the fuck up." You hop out of his arms with another laugh. "We can do whatever you want, my love."

Imagine if Chuuya and Dazai in the PM days had accidentally gotten themselves on wanted posters that were plastered across for all of Yokohama to see.
Wanted posters weren’t unnecessarily uncommon within the Port Mafia. Usually it was low level grunts, who had the misfortune of having an unflattering photo of themselves plastered across the city, all for the citizens to walk past and be wary of. However, it was of utmost importance that high level mafia personnels remain anonymous to ensure that they never get recognised by the public.
“I think they really captured your angry, chibi face and ugly red hair well, don’t you think?”
However, two teenage boys happened to break this rule.
“Hah?! That looks nothing like me or my hair, it looks like some sewer rat!”
“Exactly my point, it is accurate!”
Two teenage boys who happened to also be the most dangerous duo in the underworld.
“Fuck off! Yours looks like you don’t have basic hygiene and haven’t even showered in days– oh wait, that’s actually true!”
“Hmph, I’d say the rough look they’ve given me gives me charm.”
“Yeah, a charm that says stay ten feet away from this man unless you want to catch a disease.”
Both boys yell at each other on a busy street in the city, screaming obscenities and accusations of their appearance to one another only growing louder and louder by the minute.
Each of them had been horrified by their own posters when they stumbled upon them on their way back from a mission. Whoever the artist was, clearly did not have a good eye for this profession.
Chuuya rips the poster off the wall, nearly ripping it in half in the process. “That looks nothing like me, just watch” he declares and approaches the first person he sees.
“Excuse me,” the redhead stops an elderly lady, a sweet faux smile on his face, “my.. friend thinks this looks like me, would you agree?”
The older woman blinks for a few moments, dazed by the random interaction and narrows her eyes at the poster before shaking her head “Oh, no you look nothing like that person!”
Chuuya looks at Dazai with a victorious smirk, his mind already forming of how he can make the bandaged bastard suffer.
He claimed his victory too quickly it seemed.
She continues with a small chuckle, “you’re just a sweet little thing aren't you?” The elderly woman coos, “you could possibly never look that menacing!” She fondly says, pinching his cheeks.
An uncontrollable giggle bursts out behind him, the gross (heavenly) noise reverberating in Chuuya’s brain and a constant reminder of his humiliation. His cheeks grew warm and red as his own hair, and in that moment with the woman's innocent smile and his partner's evergrowing giggle, he wished the earth would swallow him whole.
“And what about me?~” Dazai muses, a splitting grin on his face, a face that knows he has won.
The woman steps closer to investigate the poster, her eyebrows narrowing in question before they rise on her forehead and she turns pale. “Oh.. oh yes that does look like you. How strange..”
Dazai’s mouth hangs open in bewilderment, and a hearty, uncontrollable laugh bounces off the walls of the city.
Hushed tears blur the redhead's vision as he watches the elderly woman apologize and swiftly make her exit at the realization of who they are.
“Y-you.. You must be mistaken! Please, I definitely look more handsome than this, just look at me!” Dazai yells out after her, despair and horror clinging onto his voice as he watches her disappear into the busy crowd.
The brunet rounds on his partner, irritation leaking in his single eye when he yells, “what are you laughing at?! You are so small she thought you were a child!”
“Shut the fuck up!” Chuuya yells, annoyance dancing through his veins before he huffs in resignation. He begins walking towards headquarters, leaving before a dazed partner before blurting, “don’t sweat it, yeah? You look good half the time anyways.” Checkmate, Chuuya thought.
“Chuu–.. Chuuya, Chuuya! What do you mean by that? Is the slug finally admitting his undying love for me?!”
“Shut. Up!”
If years later they now have those exact wanted posters in a small frame in their shared apartment, that is no one’s business to know except their own.

Could I request Alastor x Lucifer where they meet at a ball and Alastor is from an enemy kingdom but falls hard for Lucifer whose like "no way" but listens to his broadcast every night not realizing it's him
Do I know you?
Lucifer x alastor
(Dick measuring contest warning and a lot of swearing)
Minors dni it's not an explicit post but minors should still not interact with this fandom!
Also this does start with an argument but it's fine
Alastor strutted into the large corridor. A wicked grin plastered on his face, making the woman and men scatter and part like the red see before him. The people either staring eyes wide like they just saw a ghost or whispering to the person nearest to them. He looks around "haven't your parents taught you manners?" Making a few scoff before prancing away, the others either just stand there like a deer in headlights or saying something about needing to something.
One short messy haired well dressed man made his way over hips swaying as he walked. He put his hands on his hips "didn't your parents teach you style?" Alastor's grin widens he looked him up and down eyes settling on his tangled blonde hair "did your parents teach you how to brush your hair" lucifer scoffs as he rolls his eyes, running his fingers through his hair in attempt to untangle "did your parents teach you how to brush your teeth?" His tone much more aggressive than before alastor chuckles before bending down to the man's height, "did your parents forget to water you" siting back up to his full height.
The man searched for words "I-I uh I" before blurring out "YOU'RE ARE PARENT'S ARE PROBABLY DEVORCED" face flushed taking deep breath trying to recover from his little outburst. Alastor's brows furrow before nonchalantly replying "watch it little one you might pop a blood vessel" he paused "do I remind you of your kid? If you even have one" he chuckles "You seem like the kind of man that a woman can't stand"
(Pov switch)
I take a step back as i tries to fight back tears that one hit a soft spot but i take a deep breath and say "well you look like the only woman who would even enjoy your company would be your mom" i pause "actually your mom probably didn't even enjoy your company!" The tall man's eye twitched "haha are you speaking from experience" I can't help but think that laugh sounds so familiar the thought leaves my mind and I roll my eyes and cross my arms infront of my chest. "Your mother must be ugly it shows"
(Another pov switch)
Alastor was about to drop it and walk away before those words left the man's mouth he slowly turns to the short man smile growing impossibly wider as his eye twitched. "What did you call my mother?" The man looked up at me "are you deaf?" Alastor didn't wait a second to reply "Fuck you" the short man steps closer "fuck you to" alastor steps closer "fuck you more" the short man steps closer "nobody can fuck you more than me" yes he just said that. "Oh I will out fuck you" Alastor claims leaning down pressing his forehead against the short man's. "Bet" the short man says. "That's a suckers bet deal" lucifer just can't help to think (his voice does sound familiar???, no it's probably nothing right?) Alastor holds up his hand and Lucifer grabs it shaking it no magic just a handshake. Alastor laughs "see you later" lucifer rolls his eyes stepping back and saying "fuck you" giving him the middle finger before stomping off.
Alastor eyes never left that man's body throughout the night often making eye contact lucifer just looks away immediately embarrassingly. Alastor tried to make conversation with him many times but every time Lucifer shut I'm down walking away because he needed to do something or he saw someone and said oh I haven't seen you in so long and walked away. Hours of trying to talk to him paid off ad he finally was able to corner the man and talk to him, "Let's dance shall we" lucifer rolls his eyes "yeah no thanks" Alastor tilts his head to the side come on just this one dance it's a short one dear" lucifer lightly blushes at the pet name his voice does sound so familiar he just can't put a pin on it maybe he could? He was awfully curious. He sighs placing his hand in Alastor's. He wastes no time guiding the man to the middle of the room where everyone waltzed around them they started to mimic the people around them. Lucifer thinks to himself this man's cologne smelt quite nice and inviting, but mysterious. He lost himself for a bit just thinking about how nice it was he just relaxed and flowed with the music soon the dance was about to end lucifer snaps out of the trance and realized he didn't even know this man's name oh yes he completely forgot why he said yes in the first place. Alastor huffed "whats on your mind doll your tense" lucifer blushes at his words "I-I never caught your" Lucifer stutters out "Alastor, yours?" "Lucifer" Alastor hesitated almost stopping in his tracks before continuing to dance "thats a beautiful name were you named after or are you-" lucifer cuts him off "I'm the one and only in the flesh" he says as the dance finishes. His fingers untwine from Alastor's as he begins to walk away and disappearing into the crowd. Alastor searched for short king but there was no luck.
Just as soon as the night began it ended he didn't see the king for the rest of the night and he gave up making his way back home after the long night. Lucifer sat on his bed trying desperately to remember why he reconized the name he just couldn't figure it out. He sighed deciding to get ready for bed. Alastor sat in his comfortable chair in his radio tower flipping a few switches before greeting his listeners. Lucifer was putting on his favorite silk pajamas it was covered in a rubber duck pattern. His hat discard on the foot of his bed as he drank a glass of water. He glances at his radio as the static turns into the radio demons voice he listened to the same radio station every night before bed. He started to listen to it after lilith left just to drown out the silence just to drown out his thoughts. Quickly he realized that it was hard to sleep with out hearing it. He sighed setting the glass down knowing it was time to sleep. He made his way to his bed plopping down on the mattress it was so big compared to him because lilith tall figure needed to fit on it. He exhaled it always felt so lonely. Be was thinking about getting a new bed just so it didn't feel that way. He listen to the broadcast his eyelids began to feel heavy as he drifted of to sleep. Alastor was talking about how great of night he had, and how he couldn't wait until next years ball. He drifted off to other topics and killing a few people just to make sure his listeners knew he wasn't going soft. before calling it a night himself "goodnight hell tune into tomorrow's broadcast for the latest news told in style!" He flipped a few switches me for making his way to his the. I head cannon this man's don't sleep but for sake of the story he gets ready for bed himself and gets in bed he yawns, "Well today was a quite exhausting yet enjoyable day" he says to himself before opening up a book and reading before clicking of the light and drifting of to sleep.
Omfg I love this and idk why but when I wrote the lucifer wanting a new bed I was just imagining like a small ass twin sized mattress in a fucking ginormous room lol. Anyway I absolutely love this I might write a part 2.
Also if you made it this far have a juice box 🧃.

(also) holy shit I’m actually doing it – I’m finishing a started project!!!

HAPPY READING!
- I want a separate room, Joel! – you demanded, trying to keep up with him. – I demand a separate room!
Joel laughed under his breath. It was cute how you thought he would just let you sleep anywhere else other than in his bed.
- It’s funny how you think you’re in any position to demand anything, - he threw you an amused glance.
You breathed heavily, trying to keep up with him. You wouldn’t have been able to walk as fast as him even before the whole apocalypse thing but after QZ rations, you had lost some of your weight, muscle mass and a good amount of your stamina.
- Could you at least slow down? – you asked. – What’s even the point of walking as if somebody’s chasing us?
Joel fixed the rifle that was hanging over his shoulder and turned to look at you.
- Tires you out, - he shrugged. – Makes you more clumsy. Less likely to attempt running away.
You ground your teeth together. Bastard.
It turned out that Jackson was around an hour from where Joel had kept you. You probably would’ve either accidentally ran into the woods to be eaten by wolves or cluelessly stumbled onto Jackson, unaware that you’re walking straight back into your captor’s arms.
It was close to evening when both of you finally reached the town. Joel waved up at the armed men that were standing guard and they, recognizing him, gave command to open the gates. You watched the town that stood before you in such an awe, that only after a moment you realized Joel had said something.
- What?
- Hands behind your back.
When all you did was stare, Joel roughly turned you around and grabbed your wrists. You felt handcuffs being slapped on them before Joel turned you back to face him.
- Is this really necessary? – you asked in a low voice, trying to make your eyes tear up on command. – Please, Joel.
For the first time he looked a bit conflicted, looking in your glassy eyes.
- Sorry, baby. This is the standard procedure for all newcomers.
- Where would I even run?
- Didn’t stop you before.
A man and a woman came to great you. A man and a pregnant woman.
This must be his brother and sister-in-law, you decided.
Joel’s lips touched you ear, as he leaned closer. His breath tickled the small hairs, as he lowered his voice to say:
- Don’t try anything. Your freedom is given. It can just as easily be taken.
At this point, even though you were still very much a captive, you had become aware of few things. For one, the effect you had on Joel was much stronger than the one he had on you. You could use that. And you planned on using it.
Two, trying to escape right after getting here would be pointless. All it would accomplish would be Joel paying even more attention to each step you took. You had to make him feel safe enough to lower his guard. You had to make him pliant.
You rested the back of your head against his neck, turned your face towards him and gave Joel a lopsided smile.
- I’m not trying anything, - you lightly brushed the knuckles of your tied hands over his thigh. – I plan on making your life so miserable you’ll beg me to leave.
His eyes found yours. He looked a bit surprised by the sudden change in your behavior. That lasted for only a second though. Joel laughed and placed a kiss on your right temple.
- I’ll only ever beg you to cum, - he objected, - not go.
You withdrew your hands from him and turned back towards his approaching family.
- But please, - he lightly pushed you forward, - by all means, make me beg.
After Tommy and Maria had lightly interrogated you with questions that were answered mostly by Joel, he had taken off the handcuffs. Both the sheriff and her husband seemed to believe the story that you had returned on your own, by your own wish and had only ran into Joel outside of Jackson.
- I think we have an empty room with Josie, - Maria had suggested, while she packed some clothes for you.
- She’s staying with me, - Joel left no room for arguments. – I have the whole house to myself. She’ll be very comfortable there.
Three pairs of eyes looked for your reaction. Maria and Tommy seemed to look for your objection so they could step in and make Joel back off. Joel’s eyes glistened with challenge, as if saying, I dare you to put up a fight.
- Y/N? – Maria asked carefully. – You okay with that?
But you were not interested in a fight. For this to work, you needed to convince Joel that you were not a flight risk.
Your own eyes met Joel’s in challenge.
- Of course, - you tilted your head in what probably looked like flirting to Tommy and Maria. – I’m looking forward to sharing a house with you, Joel.
When neither one of you broke eye contact, Tommy cleared his throat and Maria placed some clothes in your hands. When both of them stepped aside, you turned to see Joel’s eyes still firmly glued to your form.
I’ll fuck your life up, you mouthed.
All you received in answer was silence, as he shook his head laughing.
Joel unlocked the door of his house and opened it, stepping aside and letting you in. When you silently watched, refusing to go in, he took a step forward and wrapped an arm around your waist.
You expected him to lift you up and force you inside but all he did was lean into you and whisper:
- They’re watching, - he said in a low voice. – How will you make my life a living hell if they’ll make you stay at Josie’s?
You glared at him and turned towards the door, making sure to flick your hair in his face as you turned. All the reaction you got was a light chuckle behind your back.
You wasted no time, heading straight for the kitchen. It was spotless which was of no real surprise to you. Knowing Joel, his house would probably look like a furniture magazine. You turned to face him, leaning against the kitchen island and placed your hands against the cool marble counter top.
Joel left your bags in the hallway and followed you inside the kitchen. He leaned against the door right in front of you.
Even though there was a lot of space between you, you could’ve sworn you felt his heavy breath against your face.
His eyes burned your skin, as they shamelessly roamed over your body, examining every inch of your skin. When he reached your face, they were already much too dark to be considered grey.
- Welcome home, sweetheart, - he said darkly. – Feel free to make yourself comfortable.
- Okay, - your shrugged and lifted your hand to the small cabinet above the stove. – Whatever you wish, darling.
Your fingers lightly caught the top of one of the mugs placed there and you flicked it forward in a manner you had only ever seen a cat do.
It broke into dozen pieces on the floor.
Before Joel could do anything to stop you, you reached for your next victim. A crystal vase that was placed in the corner of the island. You lightly pushed it over, and it shattered on the floor.
Then you reached for a kitchen knife, dug it into the beautiful pearly countertop and, pushing it in with all the strength you got, dragged it over the shiny top. The knife left an ugly scar with a horribly sounding shriek.
When you pushed your hair away from your eyes and lifted you head to look at Joel, all you were met with was silent amusement. He slowly pushed away from the door frame and approached you, walking over the shattered glass on the floor. When he was close enough for you to touch, you suddenly pressed the knife against his throat, making him tilt his head back.
Before you had a chance to even utter a single word, the knife had already left your hand and was thrown on the floor. Joel’s right hand wrapped around the back of your neck, while the left wrapped itself around your waist, lifted you up and placed you on top of the ruined counter, making you both the same height.
He smiled, as he leaned in to place a kiss on your throat, while drawing circles on the back of your neck.
You sighed involuntarily.
That was all you got before he removed his hand and cupped your jaw, turning your eyes on him.
- God I wish you would just take your frustrations out on me, - his eyes looked over your glossy lips. – Just ride out your attitude and be done with it.
You tilted your head.
Was he even mad about the ruined counter top or the smashed items laying on the floor?
How far could you take this before he was done with you?
- You want me to take my anger out on you? – you asked innocently. – Make you suffer? That’s what you want?
His pupils dilated so fast you had to blink to convince yourself you hadn’t imagined it. Was he really getting off on you being violent?
Both his hands traveled up your thighs and ended up on your waist. His throat worked as he gulped.
- Yes, baby, make me pay for taking you, - Joel encouraged. – Show me how angry you are.
You could’ve sworn roles had suddenly switched.
Before you had a chance to reconsider your actions, you raised your hand and slapped him across the face. His head swung to the side but his hands tightened around your waist. He was breathing heavily.
For anyone else it would seem like Joel was angry. But it was quite easy to mistake anger for arousal.
- Do it again, - he said in a hoarse voice that dripped with lust.
You were tempted to comply. But then you remembered your one goal.
Make his life miserable.
This was not making Joel miserable. He was enjoying himself.
So instead you leaned closer, lightly blowing some air against his neck, letting your lips almost touch the skin beneath his ear. Then you looked him in the eye and asked in your normal voice, devoid of any traces of seduction or flirtation.
- Are you sick in the head?
- Are you? – Joel asked, as his fingers pulled your thighs further apart where you were sitting. – I haven’t even touched you and I can smell your wet cunt from here. You’re enjoying this just as much as I am.
- Next time I’ll take that knife and cut your dick off, - your eyes glowed and you were breathing just as heavily, as you threatened. – Let’s see how hard you’ll get with no dick.
- That’s it, baby, keep talking dirty to me, - Joel placed another wet kiss on the side of your neck, his teeth slightly nicking your skin. – God the sex is gonna be amazing once you stop being a brat.
His nose brushed against your neck as he drew in a quick breath. And then he just stepped back as if nothing had happened and turned to clean up your mess.
While picking up the bigger pieces of glass, he glanced back to you where you were still sitting on the table.
- There is this ugly painting in the living room that I always disliked, - he motioned towards the door to the rest of the house. – Why don’t you use that anger of yours and destroy that piece of shit?
You groaned and jumped down from the table, admitting your defeat, and left to explore the rest of the place.
That’s how things went on for about three days. You hadn’t left the house and the only people you saw were Joel, his brother and sister-in-law, no doubt coming to check if you hadn’t hanged your mind about leaving.
You still hadn’t given up on your plan to make Joel’s life miserable but somehow your plan backfired every time.
Every evening you would change into your pajamas and then, while Joel was showering, left to sleep on the couch in the living room, hoping that he would be too tired to argue with you. And every evening, with no exceptions, he came into the living room, picked you up and brought you back to his room, threatening to tie you to the bed if you left again.
Every evening you would build a fort of pillows between the two of you in the bed to avoid accidentally touching him. And every morning you woke up with his chest pressed against your back and his arms like vices around you, his face buried in your hair.
Even destroying his things had backfired. When you cut up some of his clothes and used them to light up the fireplace, after the initial laughter and congrats on your originality, he had brought the clothes Maria had given to you and burnt them too, leaving you with no clothes to change into.
- When is Maria coming over? – you asked, walking into the kitchen in one of his shirts that was long enough to reach the middle of your thighs.
Joel stopped cooking to look back at you. After he had taken his revenge on your clothes, you were forced to wear his, as you didn’t have anything else as of right now. Safe to say, he was enjoying this much more than you were.
His eyes greedily sucked in your half-naked form.
- Not for a few days, baby, - he turned back towards the stove after he had gotten his fill. – She left yesterday to run some errands.
You huffed out a breath. You wanted to stomp your foot on the ground like a child.
- Get me some new clothes, Joel! – you demanded.
He carefully placed the spatula on the counter and turned towards you. After a minute of consideration, he shook his head.
- No, I’m quite enjoying seeing you in my clothes, - he decided and went back to cooking. – Besides, I thought we had enough to burn.
You wanted to pull out your hair.
- I need some new clothes, - you insisted. – And some new underwear, - you added more quietly. – Come, Joel, you promised you’d take care of me! – last sentence sounded like a whine.
That got his attention.
He turned back towards you and crossed his arms.
- What will you give me for that?
You raised an eyebrow.
How about I only shoot you in the leg when I leave and let you survive? That’s good enough?
- What do you want? – you took a step closer.
- I’ll take whatever you’re willing to give, - Joel’s voice was raspy and his hands seemed to be lightly trembling, as you placed your palm against his rapidly beating heart.
- How much worth is my kiss? – you asked, standing up on your toes to get closer to him. – Can I get some new clothes for that?
If something was cooking in the pan behind Joel’s back, it was probably already burnt.
Joel looked at you with clouded eyes. For just a second, you let doubt creep into your mind. Would he really go for it?
- Fine, - he accepted. – You get your clothes, I get my kiss.
Your smiled. Genuinely. Maybe for the first in months.
- Thank you, - your smile turned mocking. – And here’s your kiss, - you grasped his chin in between your fingers, turned his face to the side and placed an innocent kiss on his cheek. – Pleasure doing business with you.
Then you turned on your heel to leave. His hand grabbed your elbow, refusing you.
- The fuck you think you’re doing? – he looked almost bewildered. – That’s not a kiss.
You peeled open his fingers and backed away.
- It is in my book. Should’ve specified what kiss you wanted, Joel, - you smirked. – Will you be a dear and get me some khaki pants if they have any? Thanks.
In day five, Maria had come back and suggested that Joel brought you to the movie night. You had agreed so enthusiastically that Joel objecting would’ve raised suspicions so he was forced to accept as well. He probably was suspecting for you to run.
You had no such plan.
In order for this game to work, he had to be properly lulled into thinking you had abandoned all wishes to leave. Which meant – you couldn’t just run first chance you got. That would only make him keep up his guard more.
That didn’t mean you wouldn’t keep Joel on his toes. So that evening, when both of you had arrived to an already full room of people, you had quickly chosen a seat where there were people already sitting on both sides of you. Joel had no choice but to sit in front of you.
That had its pros and cons. For one, he couldn’t keep such a close eye on you and constantly turning around to make sure you were still there would look weird. Cons? At some point he had developed a different tactic, reaching his arm back in the dark, wrapping his fingers firmly around your ankle and pulling you a bit closer to him. That made you drag your chair closer to where he was sitting if you didn’t want to slouch and not be able to see the screen.
But was there really any point in watching the screen when all you could feel was his fingers constantly drawing figures on your skin?
After around the half-hour mark, you had already gotten bored when you suddenly felt a hand on your thigh. You immediately stiffened and Joel, whose hand was still wrapped around your ankle, sat up as well. Even if he did turn to look at you, the room was so dark that he wouldn’t have been able to see anything.
When you felt the hand on your thigh starting to creep up, you harshly grabbed the stranger’s wrist and twisted it, earning you a pained groan. That only lasted for a moment though because the man on your right leaned closer and whispered:
- Don’t cause a scene, babygirl, - even his voice felt disgusting in your ear. – Nobody’s gonna believe the newbie anyway.
You felt bile rise in your throat.
Joel’s fingers had stopped drawing circles on your skin. In fact, he had removed his hand altogether.
Dammit.
You gulped and quietly stood up. You didn’t want to stay here. Staying here would mean being harassed even more. Even though it was already late, there were still people outside who hadn’t come to the movie night.
Safety in numbers.
Surely somebody would step in if they saw you getting harassed out in the open, right?
Here’s to hoping...
The cold evening air hit you as soon as you stepped outside. Disgust had made you forget your whole plan about lulling Joel into safety. Right now you couldn’t care less if he thought you had ran...
There were people outside, you had been right. The problem was – they were far too few and far too distant. Recognizing Tommy in distance, you had already taken a step forward when somebody yanked you back by your hair and pushed your back against the wall hard.
Your breath left your body when your eyes were met with those of man in his early thirties. He looked young. Definitely younger than Joel. His hand wrapped itself around your throat, keeping you pinned against the wall. Whenever Joel did this, he wouldn’t cut your air off, just firmly keeping you still. This asshole had no problem cutting your airways.
- What a nice pet project Miller’s got himself, - the asshole tutted. – Everybody’s afraid to even utter your name here, thinking Joel’s gonna carve their eyes out in their sleep.
Your fingers desperately tried to peel off his hand from your throat.
- But I know better, - he didn’t let up. – You’re just some slut that he found. Joel’s a changed man now, - the asshole said the last words mockingly. – That’s what we’re all been told. And let me tell you, he wouldn’t dirty up his hands over some bitch he just met.
- Y/N? – you could’ve sworn somebody was calling your name but you also were in early stages losing consciousness so you couldn’t be sure.
Your attacker backed away, and you realized he had heard it too. Then he suddenly leaned closer and whispered:
- Utter a word to Miller about this and I’ll end your pathetic life, - he lightly slapped your cheek. – Joel’s going away tomorrow and you’ll have nobody to protect you. So be nice if you want me to be nice.
Joel was going away tomorrow? There was no doubt he wasn’t planning on taking you with.
Would he, though? If you asked?
Somehow spending the day with Joel seemed better than whatever this asshole had in mind.
When Joel rounded the corner, his eyes immediately searched for yours. You looked down. So instead he looked the man next to you up and down.
- Dan.
- Joel, - the Dan, apparently, responded. – I’m just introducing myself to your...? Are you his ward or something? – he laughed as he asked you.
- She’s my wife, - Joel responded in your place.
You definitely weren’t going to correct Joel in front of this fool.
Dan nodded. Then he extended his hand for you to shake.
- Nice to meet you, Joel’s wife, - he was still smiling that disgusting smile of his.
When you didn’t move to take his hand, he chuckled and turned to leave. Joel didn’t move either and so the boy was forced to squeeze himself through the small opening that led back to the porch.
When he had left, you finally met Joel’s gaze.
- Something you want to tell me? – he didn’t sound jealous or anything.
He sounded calm. Eerily so.
Joel’s gonna be gone tomorrow. And you’ll be stuck here with the creepy asshole. Even if you could tell Joel and even if he would do something about it, these people didn’t seem like they allowed their own to be killed. So, at best, he gets a beating. And then he’s gonna be even angrier.
And Joel can’t protect you forever.
And you can’t even aim well enough to shoot someone.
And-
- Sweetheart? – Joel’s voice brought you back. – Did he really just wanted to introduce himself?
You didn’t trust your voice so you just nodded.
For a second, Joel looked disappointed.
Looking back, you had thought it was because he was probably craving to take his frustrations somewhere. On someone.
Definitely nothing more.
- Wanna go back? – he offered.
You shook your head. That’s the last place you wanted to be at.
- I’m tired, - you tried to sound as bitchy as you had sounded this morning but it came out rather empty. – I’d rather go to sleep.
The house had never been this quiet. You were the one who usually started fights and threw tantrums and, because you did none of that this evening, nobody was screaming and nothing got destroyed.
Joel probably was thanking every god for some peace and quiet.
You quietly showered, changed into his t-shirt and were already sleeping when he had returned to the bedroom.
You slept like knocked out and surprised discovered that you had slept in. You were a light sleeper so on most days you would wake up even just by Joel placing a kiss on your neck first thing in the morning. Today, however, you woke up when sun had blinded you and forced you to roll over just to discover Joel already gone.
You had never been this unwilling to leave his house. His room. Even his bed. Even though you had no plans to run, you had to get up and get yourself among people. Somewhere with lots and lots of people.
Only then you noticed a piece of paper being left on the nightstand for you.
The guards are instructed to not let you out. If you try, they will restrain you. And then I’ll restrain you. So don’t waste your energy trying.
Be a good girl and I’ll bring back a gift for you.
You crumbled the paper.
The only gift you wanted was to be left alone.
You showered and ate in an extra short time, too afraid for certain someone to show up at your house. When you left Joel’s place, you almost ran where you knew Maria would be. Just to be in close proximity of anyone, really.
After half an hour of nervously flicking eyes towards the door while trying to plant some tomatoes in the greenhouse, you had actually let your guard down a little and started to join in the conversation.
- Joel told us you were in a neighboring QZ, - Maria asked. – What was your job there?
Back in real world – before this whole thing with the virus went down – you had been a full-time student. QZ didn’t allowed people your age to continue studies in anything, so you had to find something you were good at.
- I was mostly assisting doctors, - you threw out and then tried to shift your voice from nervous to careless and cheerful. – Hey, have you seen Dan anywhere? We met yesterday and-
- He left with Joel and Tommy this morning, - one of the other women explained. – One of their crew had gotten sick so they needed a replacement.
You had never relaxed so quickly. He wasn’t here. Dan was not here. You were safe.
Motivated by the sudden freedom and safety, you had spent most of the day in the greenhouse. You liked it. Maybe even more than being in the infirmary. When Maria left to greet Tommy, you had almost went with her, deciding against it at the last minute.
Greeting Joel would possibly make him think you’re easing into this life and thus would help your plan to dip but seeing Dan might make you throw up. So instead you stayed behind in the peace and comfort of the greenhouse.
That was until a loud scream pierced the air. Your hands slightly shook, as you stepped outside.
There, laid on the ground, was a body that the group had brought in from outside. The body – you couldn’t assign the word ‘person’ to the atrocity that was laid before you – was missing one of its legs and a good chunk of his left arm. There were bites from the infected all over him. His throat was littered in what looked like bites too, except it also looked like he was missing his vocal cords that seemed to be ripped clean out.
And then there was a bullet right between Dan’s eyes.
- Jesus, what happened? – Maria asked Tommy.
- Got himself bitten, - her husband explained. – Decided to show off by getting a close-shot. Wasn’t quick enough to pull the trigger.
Maria nodded. Probably this wasn’t as rare as you had thought. It was probably in human nature to get cocky.
- Yeah, at least he didn’t suffer, - Tommy threw a blanket on top of the body, hiding it from the view. – Too much. Thankfully, Joel was there to end his misery.
At the mention of Joel, your eyes searched for him. When you came up empty, you felt almost disappointed before feeling his arm sneak around your waist. He pulled you back by his hand on your stomach until you were firmly pressed against him. When he buried his face in your hair, you felt him breathe in your scent.
- How merciful of me to let him die, - Joel whispered with his lips ghosting over your hair. – Too bad he had to get his leg ripped off and throat ripped out before I could get to him to end his life. What a pathetic death, don’t you think?
You couldn’t muster the courage to do anything other than breathe in and out. Then he rested his chin on top of your head, both of you eyes still glued to the dead person in front of you.
- Almost as pathetic as his life.
Then he simply stepped back and casually throwing out “see you at home, honey”, left.
That evening you tried to keep yourself busy doing everything and anything possible before you went back home. But at some point Maria had to throw you out, saying she can’t allow you to fall asleep in the greenhouse. So when you finally returned, it was around eleven in the evening. Well past dinner and well past your usual bedtime.
The house was quiet. When you turned on the light in the kitchen and Joel was still nowhere to be found, shivers ran through your body. As usual, you felt him before you saw him. He was casually sitting on the sofa and reading one of what looked like books you had on you when he had kidnapped you. It was a mix between history and fantasy. You weren’t a fan but reading materials were hard to come by so you couldn’t be picky.
- Did you let him get infected or did he do that on his own? – you weren’t sure why you were even asking.
- Does it matter? – Joel casually skipped a page.
No, not really.
- Kinda, - you confessed.
Maybe a little. Understanding how far Joel would go might help you weaponize the people here. If he wasn’t ready to kill someone just because, you might be able to use other people as an emotional shield to blackmail him and make him let you go.
- Okay, - he closed the book. – Then no. He didn’t get infected on his own. He was a coward. So why would he ever attempt a close-shot?
You nodded. You felt no remorse for Dan’s death. Why should you? He was a despicable human being.
- Then how did-
- I gave him a gun with no bullets. The moron never even checked. All he could do was beg for mercy when he came across one of the infected.
When Joel stood up, you took a step back. At this point, it was a choreographed dance for the two of you. Joel tilted his head and regarded your stiff posture with a small smile.
- So then yesterday... when he went over, you-
- I heard everything, yes, - Joel nodded. – Would’ve preferred to hear it from you but beggars can’t be choosers, I guess.
- How chivalrous of you, - you gave him a lopsided mocking smile. – What a gentleman, huh?
- Let’s not pretend that the thought of me killing for you doesn’t turn you on, baby, - Joel placed his hand around your throat and used it to pull you closer. – I think we both know you would’ve loved to watch that creep die. Even better, you probably wouldn’t even object if I demanded you pay for his death with your body, right?
You felt a tingling sensation spread throughout your body from where his hand had grabbed you by the neck.
This doesn’t mean anything, you tried convincing yourself. This is just a physiological reaction to close proximity to an attractive man and his words, nothing more.
And you knew that was a lie as soon as you thought of it.
- And are you? – you challenged. – Are you demanding a payment?
He released your neck and you slumped against the wall.
- I don’t want a pity fuck from you.
- What about a thank you fuck? Would your highness accept that?
- My highness would accept anything, and you know it, - Joel motioned towards the bedroom. – If you want to show me your gratitude, you could at least get yourself off and let me watch. There’s no point in both of us suffering and trying to-
- I’m not suffering, - you argued. – I couldn’t care less if you go insane from staying celibate. You could just let me go and find someone who actually wants to fuck you. But suit yourself, I guess.
Joel hooked his fingers on the belt of your pants and slowly and torturously pulled you away from the wall closer to him.
- I guess we’re both staying celibate then, sweetheart, - he unhooked your belt, - because if I find out you let some other guy even touch you, I’ll dig them a nice deep grave right next to Dan’s. With a cross and everything.
He unbuttoned your pants and slid his hand inside your panties. Exactly no one was surprised when he found you hot and wet.
- Feel free to tell me to stop at any point, baby, - Joel encouraged with a smile. – You don’t need this, do you? I’m just delusional, right?
You whimpered and wrapped your fingers around his wrist, fully intending to withdraw his hand. Then his other hand wrapped around your wrist, keeping it firmly placed there.
- No, no, no, - he tsked. – Ask for what you want like a big girl. You want to cum? Have you earned the right to cum? Beg me for it.
He skillfully slid two fingers into your wet cunt, while keeping his thumb on your clit. Drawing circles painfully, torturously slowly.
- Come on, where’s that sharp tongue of yours, huh? – Joel’s eyes glistened in amusement, keeping the stimulation on your clit as light as he possibly could. – Need some help there, baby?
You shook your head in a petty refusal to give in. If he let you cum, that would mean that even after all the mocking about him not being able to stay celibate, you would be the one proven to not be able to withstand celibacy.
- No? – he tutted, as he leaned closer to your ear. – Just imagine how difficult it will be for you to take me if you’re a shaking mess from just two of my fingers.
A whimper left your lips and you rested your head against his shoulder. Drawing in a quick breath, you were almost on the edge.
Just few seconds more and-
- Does that feel good? – he asked.
All you could do was nod.
- Take a deep breath and give me a proper answer, - Joel urged you.
Now or never, your clouded, deprived mind decided.
- This is gonna feel even better, - you whispered in his ear and dug the needle into the side of his neck.
Wrapping your fingers around his wrist, you pulled out his hand from your panties. And, just as a gift to celebrate a proper goodbye, you slid his index and middle fingers into your mouth, sucking them clean. Tasting yourself. Then you let go of his hand and watched him fall to his knees in front of you.
You pulled out a needle that contained a very, very light dosage of the tranquilizer that was usually used on horses. The very same that you had stolen this afternoon from the cupboard that contained medicine in the infirmary.
It wouldn’t kill him but the hangover’s gonna be a bitch when he’ll wake up.
- You kidnapped me but you also killed a creep for me so – let’s call it even, sweetheart, - you mocked, using his own nickname.
Joel’s hand grasped yours. You expected some swearing... maybe threats... something... Instead, his lips pulled into a smug smile, as he slowly lost all consciousness.
- You better pray I’m merciful when I catch you, - he promised darkly. – There’s not one place in this entire world where I wouldn’t be able to find you. And when I do, you’ll pay for this.
He lost consciousness shortly after.
- We’ll see about that.
You had one place in mind where Joel’s authority wouldn’t mean shit. The QZ you originally came from.

Talking | Tim Bradford | The Rookie
Act One | Chapter 16
I’m in a&e (er for my American friends) so y’all are getting a chapter early
Tumblr media
"So, Detective Bradford, what evidence led to the arrest of my client." Wesley asked, pacing back and forth, arms crossed behind his back. He looked at (Y/N) expectedly.
They had been going over trial preparation for the last hour or so. In exchange for his services, (Y/N) brought a take out for them, as well as Tim and Angela. The other two had retreated into the kitchen to have some beers so as to not bore themselves to death.
"The operating detective arrested Mr. Smith of the claim of him being found holding the murder weapon over his dead fiancé."
"That proves nothing. Could he not have just picked it up in the heat of the moment? It must have been pretty traumatic for him. People act irrationally in moments of crisis."
"He could've but he didn't." (Y/N) rebutted, leaning further into the couch. "He practically confessed."
"There's no "practically" about it, detective. Either there is hard evidence that my client did this or you have arrested an innocent man going through one of the most terrifying things that one could experience."
(Y/N) flicked through the case file she had been given to build her testimony around. The acting detective hadn't been all too thorough as they were sure it was a clean cut case. Letting out a small "ha!" She smugly presented Wesley with a sheet of paper. "Here you will find the prints we ran on the gun. Only one set, belonging to Mr Smith. Any more questions?"
"No more questions at this time," he said, finally sitting down and reaching for the beer Angela had brought through to him a little while back. "You did good. Just keep that energy up and you'll be fine."
(Y/N) sighed, "You think? Court was never my strong suit."
"Yeah. I'd challenge you in the courtroom any day."
"No thanks. This was hard enough." (Y/N) laughed, leaning her head back to look into the kitchen, watching Tim and Angela bicker about something. "You wanna call them through or should I?"
"Actually," Wesley stood up, "I should probably get her home before something stronger comes out. You know how those too get."
"Oh god, don't remind me."
It didn't take long for Wesley to gather Angela up and make a quick departure. Once Tim had closed the door behind them, he made his way back into the kitchen where (Y/N) had begun to clear up. Dishes were stacked up high in the sink and bottles littered the counters.
"God, how much did you drink," she said, turning to face her husband. "It looks like the remnants of a brewery made a home here."
"Hardly any and not nearly as much as Angela, I always forget how much that woman can drink." Tim moved forwards, pacing his hands on (Y/N)'s hips, bringing her body into his. Softly he kissed her, "Leave all this for tomorrow."
"And what will we do now," she said, leaning in to kiss him again.
Quickly, he moved his grip on to hold her waist. Swinging one arm under her legs, he picked her up bridal style, moving towards the bedroom. "I can think of something."
- - - - -
"You look happy," Angela teased as she walked over to (Y/N)'s desk. "Too happy."
(Y/N) didn't look up to respond to her, knowing the direction Angela wanted this conversation to go. She didn't want to humour her friend but she also knew that if Angela wanted to do something, it would happen. "Can I not be happy? Is that against the rules?"
"Not at this time in the morning you can't." She said moving round the desk to lean over (Y/N)'s shoulder, now whispering. "Somebody got laid."
(Y/N) let out a breathy laugh. Shaking her head, (Y/N) continued to type. "And someone's trying to live vicariously through me. Having a dry spell, are we?"
"Not at all. But as much as I like talking to you about this, I have a suspect on the store robbery; his name is Damian Barrett. I'm sending Harper and Nolan to bring them in..."
"Right, okay? What do you need from me?"
Angela smiled,  "Nothing. I just wanted to say 'hi.'"
"Bullshit," (Y/N) leaned back in her chair, finally turning to face Angela who had decided to perch on the surface, "Also, that isn't a chair."
Lopez rolled her eyes as she got down. "I do have a reason for coming here though. Patrice is on my case about this wedding."
"And Patrice is...?
"Wesley's mom." She took out her phone, scrolling through her messages to show (Y/N) "This is just from last week. I need help."
"Don't ask me, Tim and I almost eloped. A lot less fuss and mess." (Y/N) smiled as she absently played with her rings, "I say go to the courthouse and throw a party or something after."
"You're wedding was lovely. How did you do it?"
"I didn't have much to do with it. It was all Grey and Tim."
Angela raised her eyebrow, "Sargent Grey? Sargent Grey as in the Sargent Grey who works here and was your boss helped plan your wedding?"
"Yeah," (Y/N) said, smiling as the memory came back to her.  "Grey nearly lost his head when I mentioned eloping. Something about how it would be a 'tragedy' and that it would happen over his dead body."
"Great," Lopez sighed, moving back towards her desk. "You are no help."
"Hey," she laughed, "You asked me!"
- - - - -
It was only mere moments after Angela had returned to her own desk did she approach (Y/N) again, this time her easy-going demeanour had hardened into something more serious. She had their shared case file tucked under her arm. 
"Harper and Nolan found our friend and put in interrogation. He's waiting on us. Seems like bad news, but like I said, he's only a suspect and we have got nothing concrete. We're going to try for a confession," Angela said, taking off, not leaving (Y/N) to question her any further.
With a small sigh, she got up to follow Angela to the interrogation room. She was going to let her take the lead, it was her case after all, she only came onto the case as a consulting detective. Besides, by the looks of the case, (Y/N) thought it may be an easy win.

If we’re allowed to say what fillings we don’t want, then can I please not have salted caramel or strawberries & champagne. If not then…yolo. Thank you. I look forward to the fills for this, it looks fun! (I am eyeing that impregnation/creampie filling with fingers crossed!) | tw: size kink. impregnation. mentions of pregnancy. semi public sex. oral and masturbation. kinda rough sex. implied zosan at the end (don't worry is nothing big) wc: 1k | masterlist
Tumblr media
You always hear them whisper, talk when you pass. “Isn’t he way bigger than her?”; “That must be painful”
Painful? Who said that? It’s anything but that… Kidd takes total care of you, and tonight, even if romance isn’t his forte, it’s even taking you in a total romantic date for Valentine’s day.
Or at least he tries...
“Woman is this the place you wanted to come? Tell me the guys didn’t lie to me” he says, taking a good look around. A sophisticated atmosphere receives both of you; a restaurant decorated with candles and roses, a golden aura all around.
You giggle, sure it is the one you wanted to visit; the Baratie. They say that here, you can taste the flavours of all the seas joined in one. On the corner, there is even a skinny man playing the piano, filling the place with sweet classic melodies.
“Yes, Kidd. Thank you so much” you nod, slightly resting your forehead against his muscular arm.
The redhaired feels proud of himself, and even if he doesn’t show, he is also happy because you are too. But the feeling of inner peace gets disturbed instantly by a blonde with curly brows praising the beauty of his lover; the main chef. What is he doing here?
“Welcome to the Baratie! I’m Sanji, the main chef! Where do you wanna seat my beautiful mademoiselle… and… your…?” he chimes, looking at Kid after scanning you with a brilliant smile.
You laugh, and kindly answer “My boyfriend. We are here to celebrate Valentine’s” you chime, already feeling the tension in between the both of them. Kidd isn’t always showing his emotions, but tonight things were about to take a different turn if you didn’t interfere.
The blonde showed you a table next to the window; and take a deadly look at Kidd when he didn’t move the chair out for you to sit. Truth is, you don’t wanted to, nor ever asked of it. You only wanted to sit down, order and avoid the chef and your lover to have further interaction.
Sanji suggested the chef’s choice, and both acceded to order that. As soon as the fancy blonde left, Kid put his heavy hand over the table. It made you slightly jump from your sit, but you know he isn’t angry with you.
“Calm down, he is just acting like a fancy French man… I’m sure his not a menace to you” you joke, sliding your hand on top of his veiny one.
Kidd fixes his burning red eyes on yours, and turns around your hand to be the one under his. “You are mine; you know that? Do you want me to remind it to you?” he grunts, low but loud enough for you to hear.
Your eyes widen, a few slow blinks after and you are gawking. Is not that this is new coming from Kidd but it surely startled you. However, your façade turns from surprised to a sexy grin and sloppy eyelids.
“Me? Yours? And how are you planning to show me that?” you whisper, playing with your fingertips on his palm in a sexy way.
Kidd smirks widely and tilts his head to the side. A challenge? For him? Now you better get ready for what’s about to come for you…
The silence in between you two says more than any words the crimson haired could ever say. He has let his hair down today, sexy tufts fall over his face and they match perfectly with the formal attire he bought just for tonight. He never wore it, but you are absolutely grateful he did. The savage style is what made you fell in love with him, but the suit looks extremely good on him.
Of course, such silence gets interrupted by the Chef bringing himself your plates. He flirts a little more with you while the sound of Kidd’s teeth gritting surrounds you. You smile sweetly at Sanji and as soon as he fleets off Kidd narrows his eyes.
“Eat. Fast” he orders.
“Excuse you? Why are you ordering me around, Mr. Eustass?” you ask, narrowing your eyes too.
“Fine, if you don’t mind the food getting cold then…” he says, standing up and taking you from your hand. He begins to walk towards the bathrooms, and you are unable to process what’s going on. You trip to match his long and fast steps in silence.
Kidd opens quite violently the bathroom door and takes a look to see if there is anyone there. “Come in” he says, pulling you inside. You kind of imagine what he is planning, but right there…?
“Kidd i think we shouldn-“ you can’t keep talking; the red haired kisses are enough to shut you up. His tongue exploring your mouth, your tongue slowly getting used and matching his motions.  You whine as he pushes inside one of the stalls, his hand searches for under your skirt. He squeezes your thighs; he bites your lips and pull from them.
“Here it is how I was planning on showing you are totally mine” he grunts, as your back hits the refined door of the bathroom stall. “Unfortunately, I couldn’t wait until getting home, hope you don’t mind”
You shiver, he is so big compared to you -or anyone really-. His topping body makes your legs turn weak, you know he can be as violent as he wants with you, you allow him to; he loves to do it.
Kidd sits on the toilet and helps you stand still against the door right in front of him. “It’s a blessing you are wearing this cute little skirt…” he scoffs, spreading your legs just so that his arm would fit in between them. He discovers your wet reaction on your panties, Kidd is delighted with it he even smiles sweetly.
“Are you that horny for me, (Name)?” he asks, moving your panties aside to take some of that dampness in between his fingertips.
You nod. Of course you are. Since he picked you up tonight you were waiting for this moment… Your mind goes blank, and your hands cover your mouth as his index suddenly penetrates you. Your knees try to join but Kidd won’t let that happen…
“No, no. Don’t close them. We need you ready to take me…” he whispers, taking his finger out and sucking on it clean from your arousal. “Ah… you are so delicious… come here”
Kidd pulls you closer to his face, he helps you lift your leg so that you could step on his right thigh. “I bet this dinner tastes a lot better than that tasteless shit” he growls, bringing your sex almost over his mouth so that he can eat you out.
Your muscles tremble, you wanna shout, you wanna scream; Kidd does it so well, twirling tongue against your clit and his index opening its way inside you. Up and down and sometimes in beckoning motions, adding fingers, sucking, and licking. Sometimes, he even bites your inner thighs. Feasting on your core it’s his favourite meal, and no fancy restaurant can match it…
But, Kidd needs more. And, as he said, he will show you, you are nobody’s but his.
“I think you have been stretched enough to take me…” he says, cleaning his shiny chin from your fluids with his forearm. He lends you his hand to help you put your leg down but as soon as you do, his hand carves in your glutes to pull you towards him and sit on his lap.
You gasp, you can feel his throbbing hardness through the black pants he is wearing -and that you are probably wetting-. “What about me fucking you this way, and really showing you who you belong to?” he adds, stating he clearly wants to claim your body as his.
“Fuck me, yes… please” you whisper, already moving backwards so that you can get his sex out of that fabric prison. Quickly, efficiently, you pull down his zipper. He is also dampened; Kid is hard and so wet.
“Sure thing, woman” he moans, guiding his tip to your entrance. You remain lingering over it without fulling sitting yet, you are scared of him going deep… being the size he is, your walls are already both eager and afraid.
Kidd must be feral, but he isn’t a brute. He waits until you are ready, he doesn’t push you, he simply allows you to slowly go down as he slides inside you. Your nails carve on his wide back, leaving marks on his black coat. Your lips trapped by his, Kidd drowns your soft whimpers so nobody could hear you.
He also shivers. The feeling of tightness around his shaft makes him weak. Your red-haired lover closes his eyes as he lets himself go in the oppressive sensations around his sex. “Ugh… you are so damn tight… you take me so good…” he whispers, lips against lips, warmth against warmth.
Your toes curl, your skirt has rolled up your waist, your hairstyle gets absolutely messed up and you don’t really care about a thing… except the bulge forming in your lower belly as the thrusts now have become faster and harder.
Kidd pulls from your head back, he needs to kiss the crook of your neck. He pants and grunts against your skin, you do the same with hands playing with his red locks.
“Allow me to cum inside you. I want to make you mine, completely” he pleads, going violently in and out you. Your tiny frame compared to his seems to get smaller as you hear those words. “Let me fill you up with my seed, let me make you mine, make you so damn pregnant with a child of mine”
“I love you, please do it ~” you purr, with what’s left of energy and the feeling of breaking in half for how full you feel already… and you want to feel fuller, a lot more fuller… flooded, dripping.
And that’s exactly what you get. As you retort yourself over his hardness, reaching climax, squeezing, milking him out he gets ready for his release. Kidd hugs you tight, kissing your lips, breathing into each other’s lungs, feeling your heartbeats with your chests pressed together…
“Ngh… Until the last drop… hold it in…”  he grunts, as his twitching anatomy bathes your inner walls with his warm, sticky seed. “I fucking love you, woman”
“I won’t let any drop go to waste… this feels so… ngh… fu- good… I love you too, Kidd…”
Ah by the way, about dinner… the moment you left the bathroom to go back to the table you saw the blonde “womanizer” chef kissing passionately with the green haired security guard from the parking lot right on the back of the restaurant.
“Oh…” Kid muttered. “Told you, you didn’t have to worry”

On The Bond thingy....
Tumblr media
I rewatched the scene with Ihvon today. Somehow I missed it the first time. Simple, slow, on point. And oh, so wrong of him. Almost poetically. Apparently, Ihvon thinks they are not supposed to be equal. He laughs at Lan and his offense to Moiraine's words. Without even considering the possibility that someone like the great mighty Aes Sedai could consider a mere mortal man an equal. Ihvon is definitely the more likable character for me, but somehow Maksim turns out to be closer with his ideas on relationships. Even the basic understanding is that no two marriages are the same, just as people are different. As if by accident he was correct. Yet, they have no idea. Who knows what they think of Lan and Moiraine as a couple - Aes Sedai and a Warder? That probably falls somewhere along the lines of "Poor Lan with this stuck-up, cold, emotionless, bitter bitch. He must be in hell." With little understanding of Moiraine as a person, let alone her mission and their relationship. A common goal, mission more important than their life or anything else, personal sacrifice. And Moiraine's (normally) gentle attitude toward Lan when they are alone, their little moments, a bubble no one can get into. The shared looks and half smile, and that deep understanding. Also the contrast here between Lan and Maksim's "I don't want anyone else in my head and Alanna doesn't like the company..." is brutal. That's a lack of trust, of willingness to carry the burden of someone else's emotions because they are too much and let someone else be too close. Only the good parts. Did you think we would be fighting a war against an army of kittens? Well.. no, but... yes? Essentially he is an enhanced soldier and a glorified sex toy? For the rest - welp you are on your own. Then again I imagine what is the emotional range of Alanna - hungry, horny, scared, horny... What she wants - The Light to triumph over the Shaddow and a dessert after. And that attitude of her Warder - we see their weakness, we remind them that they are not gods, yet... he seems to almost think that of them. There is something disturbing in this idea that there is no way a normal person, let alone a man can be equal to a woman with special skills. The thought that they might think highly of a simple man never even occurs to them... And this power even though it needs work to be harnessed and efforts to be honed, is just an accident, a random natural mutation, with no rhyme or reason. Like green eyes. Do these people worship an accidental whim of nature? This removes the importance of other traits of character and makes people like Liandrin and Moiraine, the same. Lan was angry at Moiraine because she masked the Bond even when he knew what she was up to and that she was safe. He was willing to share even those moments. He feels uncomfortable even for several hours, let alone months. He misses her. He misses her presence in his head. She has become a part of him. And after such a long time without her, he asks her to let him back in. There is something else in this episode that hits hard. Alanna explains to Lan how Moiraine was a different person before. Something happened, and after that, she changed. Drastically. "The way water becomes ice. You look at it and wonder how it was ever water before." Ouch. That metaphor is beautiful and the whole line carries such a weight. It suits Alanna to say something poetic like this and it seems to be the perfect description of Lady Damodred. Lan knows what changed. He is interested in something else: "Was she happier then?" Brutal. We know Moiraine is not exactly rays and sunshine, but damn... Imagine being in someone's head, feeling someone's emotions when this person is almost never happy. To know that there is little you can do about it. And that is Lan, who himself seems to have about two trucks of personal baggage to deal with. He seems genuinely sad. What was it? Duty is heavier than a mountain. And there is no dessert after.

Tbh it’s kinda stereotypical that a lot of people view Tim as gay and Kon as bi when canon evidence suggests it’s the other way around
Tim has had several relationships with girls that show a lot of love and care even if they don’t work out. But all of Kon’s relationships with girls have been performative in some way (or were like one date with a lesbian)
But since Kon has the super strength people view him as more masculine so they make him bi, and Tim is more academic and has a lithe frame and is often made gay in fics and is given a more feminine role. Tim being a mistreated damsel and Kon being his savior is very common. It’s literally them being assigned top/bottom aka masculine/feminine, it’s just heteronormativity in a different font
YEAAAAAAH ANON GO OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its literally so true ive bitched about this exact thing to my friends before. it's both the homophobia implicit in the idea that a more "traditionally masculine" man (esp one who's not twink-shaped) must be available for m/f ships and cannot possibly be gay, plus the biphobia of the notion that bisexuality is this "half gay, half straight" midpoint default setting for any character who doesn't fit the ~gay archetypes~ or whatever.
like to be clear i have absolutely nothing against bi kon hcs. but i REALLY find the narrative of gay kon compelling (for the same reasons you state!! he has never had a real relationship with a woman) and yet. the one time i made a post about this, SO many people in the notes were like yeah bi kon is good too though. oh yeah you can have this narrative but i like him bi. as if that's a) the default setting and b) the ONLY option, because gay narratives and bi narratives have no distinctions. it was... pretty grating to be honest. it's a shitty way to treat both bisexuality And gayness.
also reminds me of the time someone left hate mail on my fic bc i described kon wearing heels and fishnets lkdjalksjdl like i laugh at it but it was. definitely someone who couldnt handle him being written as an actual queer man lmao. he HAS to be the manly man in the timkon relationship. or whatever.
ANYWAY all this to say, i fully agree with you!!! it's so pervasive and so annoying. also compounded w the number of people in the timkon tags who simply have never touched a kon comic tbh (goes back to bisexuality as being treated as a default not worthy of actual thought or consideration). alas :/

could you keep doing fluffy schmelly fanfics?? i’m in in love with those 🥹
Of course :D!! I'm thinking of making these a series.
Have these two goofballs being overly competitive!
--
Vanessa beats Mike to the pizzeria. Not by much, as he pulls in right after her, but Vanessa takes her victories where she can. She pretends not to notice how his face seemingly lights up when they both get out of their respective cars. 
“Slow night?” He asks, sounding exhausted as always. She stands next to him, watching as he struggles to unlock the front door. 
“Not slow enough.”
They make their way into the lobby. The animatronics are still on stage, which makes sense given that it’s only ten. 
“So, you’re here early,” she says, taking off her jacket. The inside, for once, isn’t freezing cold. Maybe the owner finally realized that there’s actual people inside? 
“The babysitter got to my house earlier than expected,” Mike explains, starting his routine check of making sure everything is still in place. He peeks through the curtains, using a flashlight to check on each of the animatronics. “And Abby was already in bed.”
“....And you didn’t want to hang out any longer than you had to.” It’s not a question, but Mike answers anyway. 
“No, if I have to sit through one more minute of Max scrutinizing every little thing about how I parent Abby, I’ll scream. More and more, she reminds me of my Aunt Jane.” 
“What’s wrong with your Aunt Jane?”
Mike finishes up looking behind the curtain, and gives her an annoyed look. 
“Come on, she can’t be that bad. Right?”
“She’s actively trying to get Abby taken away from me. That woman has had it out for me since I was a kid.”
Vanessa hums. “Well, at least she isn’t here.”
“Small mercies,” Mike says in a monotone voice.
“Exactly.”
He groans, sweeping his flashlight across the various arcade machines. 
Vanessa shrugs. She looks over all the different games. “I used to love playing these games,” she murmurs. “I had the highest score on a majority of the cabinets.”
“Really?” Mike asks, sounding genuinely impressed. “Which one did you have the highest score on?”
“Pac-Man.”
“Pac-Man?”
“Pac-Man,” Vanessa repeats. “What about it?”
“I just….that happens to be a game I also got the highest score on. Not here, obviously, but I think it’s kind of cool that we….” Mike trails off, returning to his nightly task of making sure nothing’s broken. 
“Heh, bet my score was higher.”
“Was not,” Mike shoots back. Realizing how childish he must sound, Mike composes himself. “I guess we’ll never know.”
They both look longingly at the arcade cabinet. It’s powered off and covered in a layer of dust, likely due to not being used for years on end. 
They exchange a glance at one another. 
“I’m going to turn the power on for the arcade!” Mike shouts, sprinting towards the office. 
In the same breath, Vanessa shouts back, “I’ll start cleaning the machine off!”
-x-x-x-
“Wow,” Mike says, watching Vanessa play over her shoulder. “You are pretty good.”
She scoffs playfully. “Just pretty good?”
“Eh…goodish,” he teases. To which Vanessa takes her hand off the joystick to smack his shoulder. 
Her attention wavers for just a second, but in that second, Pac-man dies. “Noooo,” she groans. “Thanks a lot.”
Vanessa sees him smirk out of her peripheral vision. This only fuels her insistent need for competition. The last time she felt this strongly about beating someone was before her brother died. 
She grits her teeth and focuses even more on the game. 
“....You know-”
“Shut up,” Vanessa mutters, refusing to allow anyone to distract her. 
“But-”
“No.”
“But I-”
“Shush.” She waves a dismissive hand in his direction. 
“Hmpf.” Mike crosses his arms, looking almost like a petulant child. If she weren’t so set on getting the best high score, Vanessa would laugh. 
Eventually, though, she makes a mistake, and she has to move aside to let Mike play. Although, seeing her score (albeit briefly) makes the ten minutes of constant stress well worth it. Vanessa doesn’t want to think less of Mike, but there’s no way he can beat her score. 
“Soooo,” she starts, in the same conversational tone that Mike did, “you come here often?”
Instead of shushing her, Mike just side-eyes her. “Unfortunately. You?”
“Same,” Vanessa sighs, dramatically.
Mike snorts. “Well, you don’t have to. You know that right? Unlike me, you don’t get paid for being here.”
Vanessa gives an even more dramatic sigh, whirling around so she’s facing towards the lobby. “I can leave if you want.”
“What?” Mike asks, sounding actually terrified at the prospect of her leaving. “Wait, Vanessa, I didn’t mean-”
The arcade game goes into a game over screen. 
Vanessa grins, turning back to face Mike. “Ha!”
He rolls his eyes, trying and failing to keep the grin off his face. “Whatever. It was bound to happen anyway.”
“Uh, huh, sure.”
They glance over their scores, taking the time to appreciate them. Vanessa’s last score from over a decade ago is nowhere near their scores from today. 
Mike stares at the screen in disbelief. “We-” 
“Tied,” she finishes. 
“How?”
Which is a very good question, and one that Vanessa can not possibly answer. By all accounts they should not have tied. And not because she’s a sore loser or anything, but because Vanessa’s fairly certain they were both on different levels when they lost. Not that there’s any way to prove that.
“We need to break the tie,” Mike says, a finality in his tone. 
She nods. 
They look around the arcade. There’s five or six different arcade cabinets, a few (probably rigged) claw machines, and….
They look at each other. 
“Skee ball,” they say in unison.
-x-x-x-
In the corner, unseen, two boys watch over their respective, overly-competitive siblings. 
“She’s always been like this,” Cassidy mutters. “Used to sock me in the arm when she lost.” He rubs his arm. “Hurt like a-”
“Mikey has always been competitive too. Though, he didn’t hit me when he lost.” Garrett watches the display with interest. “I’m just glad he’s having fun. I haven’t seen him smile since…”
“Her either. It’s…kind of nice. I’ve missed seeing her smile.”
Watching is the best they can do (well, that and occasionally messing with the arcade machines), but for now, that’s all they have to do. For once, their siblings aren’t in pain or danger. 
And for now….
….that is more than they can hope for.

At Last-Ralph x FReader (ch 1)
Tumblr media
So I haven't written in over a year lol, and this was SUPPOSE to be a one-shot, but I started writing and got in the groove again sooooo...it became a chapter story! Lol. Hoping to get a chapter out every Friday til the story is finished that way I can balance it with running my Etsy shop and all 😊.
Summery: After you and your friends are transported back to the 1920's by a time machine elevator, you embark on an adventure, and that adventure leads to a beautiful man.
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
Pairing: Ralph x Reader
Words: 3,328
Warnings: Ralph being a cutie, also some possible trigger words for some, I do apologize, I was simply quoting the show and they were used.
I also have a Ko-Fi 😊
⚠️ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐬, 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞.⚠️
"At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song"
Tumblr media
"So…Just to recap so that I know I am not losing my mind here….We actually just followed a homeless man into an elevator"
"Yeah"
"That was actually a time machine"
"Yeah"
"That actually took us back to the 1920's"
"Yeah"
"How do you know it's the 20's?"
"Which box do we check first, the cars? The hair? The fashion?"
"1920's London"
"Not exactly what I signed up for when I decided to vacation from America" you sighed, looking around the cobblestone road. Somehow, because you still couldn't wrap your head around a time machine elevator, you and your four friends had landed yourselves in London…In the 1920's. Horace and Jason were looking around please, for different reasons, Horace in amusement and Jason at all the women. Nick looked like he was about to have an aneurysm, while you and Lauren sat back and took in your situation. You would be lying if you said that this whole thing was at least somewhat exciting, odd and unbelievable, but exciting. You had decided to visit your friends over the summer, having met Lauren online some years ago when you were in a Facebook group for "Things to do when in London", since you were hoping to visit that following year. Lauren and you struck up a fast friendship over music, and soon found you had a lot of similar interests. 
"Alright, let's just stick together and avoid any
plantations." Nick said after a moment.
"Imagine all the things we could do." Horace said with a smile 
"Invest in stocks and shares and get filthy rich in the present day." Lauren replied with a mischievous smile back.
"I was gonna say burn a witch, but we could do that." Horace replied
"...Now I suddenly don't feel safe" You replied, causing Horace to turn to you.
"Can trace my ancestors back to Salem remember" you laughed, causing his eyes to widen.
"Right! No, sorry, no witch burning" he backtracked, causing you to laugh more.
"It doesn't matter what time we're in, any time before the mid-'80s isn't good for black people." Nick stressed
"You have a point" You stated
"Bruv, how can you not wanna explore? We owe it to ourselves! People like us never
get to time travel. It's what white people do,
like skiing, or brunch." Jason replied,
"Anyone got a fiver? I'm gonna buy a house." Lauren laughed as you all made your way onto the streets.
"Look at you perving at all the ye olde ladies." She teased Jason.
"I'm just appreciating when women dressed like women, and not like twelve-year-old schoolboys." He told her, earning a punch in the arm. 
"I wouldn't call you eyeing every woman as simply appreciating" you laughed. Noticing a woman staring at Lauren before muttering.
"That reminds me, I must buy some black pudding."
"Would it mess with the future if I smacked that woman in the face right now?" Lauren asked, causing everyone to snicker but bringing up a very good question, what would happen to the future, your timelines, by you simply existing in the 20's?
"No, seriously, she's right. Time, space, ripple
effects and all that. What would happen?" Nick asked, causing Horace to reach into his pocket.
"Homeless Pete gave me some rules. Um 1, Don't kill anyone." 
"That's not even specific to time travel." Nick muttered
"Don't impregnate, get impregnated. Don't touch any animals."
"Awe there goes your fun Jason" you teased.
"Have fun and try to blend in." Horace finished
"Try to blend in?" You asked
"Am I the only one noticing that?" Nick pointed behind you, you all turned and noticed a large crowd of white people gathered to stare…ah…yeah…people of color were not as common in these times indeed.
"Why are we in a suit shop?"
"Because I didn't see a Foot Locker."
You noticed the man behind the desk look up from his magazine as you all walked in before suddenly looking very scared.
"Good afternoon" he said nervously
"How may I eat you-, help you?" He quickly corrected himself, his eyes landing on you.
"Hello sir, my friends would like suits please"
"Y-Yes of course, I'll just go eat the-Get the manager" he nervously smiled before escaping to the backroom.
"She's alright." You heard Jason say as you leaned over the counter to see the magazine the man had been looking at…Ah cannibals…that explains the oddness.
"Going by the day's events, don't you think you have enough girlfriends?" Nick asked
"Alright, then you go talk to her."
"Well, obviously I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because she's about 90 years older than me."
"What?"
"Yes, I could go outside,and yes, I could chat her up. But what if I fell for her, and she for I?
And we had this whirlwind love affair where we couldn't be without one another.
And at the peak of everything, she decides to come back with me to the 21st century. But as we return to the present day, I'd turn to her only to see that she'd become the age she would be in that time. And I would have the girl of my dreams as an old woman, dying in my arms." Nick concluded. 
"Ahh Nick, always the romantic" you snickered
"Bruv, I just said to get her phone number." Jason replied just as a new voice spoke up.
"Ahem!" 
Spinning around you suddenly felt like the air got knocked out of you as you looked toward the new people in the small shop.
'Oh…Oh'
"Hello" they spoke at the same time, and you could hear Horace say something along the lines of 
"Hail thee, good morrow,how doth thou?" Behind you, but he sounded so far away, everything did, it was like everything suddenly blurred into nothing until there was just him. He wore a cream colored suit and a boater hat, a simple enough outfit for the time but that wasn't what caught your attention, his eyes, the way his smile made them sparkle as he excitedly told the woman beside him to ask them, before prompting her again, causing her to quickly snap at him and his smile fell, and you watched his eyes dull a bit, the sight making your heart clench.
'Don't look sad please,never look sad'
"Ask us what?"
"We were just wondering-" He started but again was cut off by the woman, you could feel yourself beginning to get annoyed at her as you watched his eyes dull even further.
"Yes, Ralph!..Are you a jazz band?"
"What makes you think we're a jazz band?" Lauren asked, and you watched his eyes move over to her, eyeing her up and down and you felt your chest ache…So…Even in a different time nothing changes. Your eyes drift away from him, everything coming into focus again as Nick and the woman talked.
"Quartet."
"Well, four (five) coloured chaps in London. What else could you be?" She replied
"You're also carrying instruments." He added
"Oh, so you are." She smiled, looking at their hands and glancing at you.
"Now call it fate, but Ralph and I are hosting a sick-makingly glorious birthday party." She smiled excitedly, something about this woman gave you a headache already, but at least now you knew his name was Ralph…It suited him.
"We're twins.Non-identical." he stated, as if the non-identical needed to be added you thought, finding yourself smiling a bit. 
"I was born first." She added
"So Victoria and I are having
a party-" he started again, only to get cut off once more, and by how he slowly sank back you knew this happened often…Too often.
"Yes, Ralph!...And daddy promised us a Negro jazz band."
"You really shouldn't use that word." Lauren added.
"Oh, sorry. A Negro jazz quartet. Quite a shame, the band we hired cancelled.
"One of the poor fellows got polio." They laughed, causing you all to kind of look at one another.
"Typical, isn't it? All bad things seem to happen to me." She pouted
"How much we talking?" Lauren asked
"You'll be paid fabulously"
"So please, please, please say you're a jazz quartet!"
"We are a jazz quartet."
"Sorry, we'd love to but unfortunately we've got to get home." Nick started but Lauren jumped in
"We'll be there."
"Wondrous!"
"It is rather a formal affair."
"Yes, so no curious native trousers or, um, spongy foot sheaths."
"I can't wait!"
"Please don't let us down, otherwise Ralph and I will howl with shame and take our lives in a tragic double suicide." She stated, causing everyone to let out a nervous laugh, except they weren't laughing…before a simple.
"See you chaps later!" And just like that, they were gone. You watched them through the window, watched as he retreated with his sister, his excitement visible if only for a moment before she dampened it again.
"All I'm saying is that when people time travel, it's to prevent a natural disaster or to save mankind from extinction.Not to perform as a
'Negro jazz quartet'" Nick ranted after everyone left the shop with their new suits, you excluded. You looked around after you all stopped in the street, everyone ranting about how Nick wanted a paid gig and now they have one, Nick ranting about how everyone needed to get home and he was going to go back and find the lift to get us out of there. In the end Nick left on his own, leaving the four of you in the streets. 
"Right so do we just have a look around then?" Horace asked.
"You can go ahead, I'm going to look in some shops, still need to find some clothes" you replied, thumbing towards some more shops.
"Oh right!" Horace started but Lauren cut in 
"Why don't you lot go on ahead, we'll meet you at the gig" she stated, before walking with you towards the shops. The first two shops you both quickly walk out of after looking at the price tags. Yes you had some money but not that much. The 3rd shop was a bit cheaper, it was a bit of a thrift store in a way, returns from other shops that maybe had lost a few beads or had been repaired hung on the walls. 
"So…You trying to look your best tonight?" Lauren asked while you looked at the dresses.
"Just looking to blend in I suppose" you shrugged, watching as she nodded but continued to stare at you from the corner of her eye.
"So you wouldn't be looking for somethin' to catch his eye?" She asked after a moment, causing your head to whip in her direction.
"W-what?" You asked, trying to keep your voice low and even.
"Come off it, I saw the way you stared at what's his name…Ralph, back there. Looked like a deer in the headlights, if the deer was also in love with the car" she smirked before adding.
"Also pretty sure I heard you gasp when you first turned around"
"I….I don't know what you're going on about, I had no such look" you stated, going back to the dress.
"Oh really?" 
"Really" 
"Cause it looked to me like-"
"He had his eye on someone else anyways, now can we please drop it?" You sighed, grabbing a dress and heading to the changing room. Lauren watched you walk away, confused by your reaction, she was only teasing in her own sort of way, but the way you acted…she felt like she was opening an old wound. When you emerged again you were dripping in black and gold, a beaded headpiece around your (h/c) locks and a faux pearl bracelet around your wrist. Mary Janes adored your feet and as you looked at yourself in the mirror you truly felt like you were living your Great Gatsby fantasy.
"Whoa" Lauren said behind you.
"Good Whoa or Bad Whoa?" You asked, teeth worrying your bottom lip.
"Good Whoa" she smiled, causing you to sigh, before you grabbed your bag that was now filled with your old clothes and walked to the cashier, handing her the money, very glad you had exchanged your Dollars for Pounds. 
After shopping the two of you met up with Horace and Jason again, walking around the town for a bit before heading to the party. A party that you were both looking forward to and dreading. Once there you were shocked by the amount of people already there, and the amount of alcohol. You watched as the three of your friends drank from the bottle, you yourself sipping from your cup, before Jason noticed something, tapping Lauren on the arm.
"Someone's got an admirer." He nodded towards a table, you all looked over and noticed Ralph, his eyes raking over Lauren as he smiled at her.
"I'm guessing he's gonna be pretty pissed off when he finds out you're a girl." Jason joked
"Yeah, well I'm guessing Victoria's gonna be pretty pissed when she finds out you're a girl." Lauren replied, her eyes looking over to find you, your front facing the bar, your back to Ralph as you drank your drink. She looked back at Ralph, noticing that his eyes were on you, eyebrows furrowed before he caught her gaze, smiling again. The rest of the night was a whirlwind, first there was trying to stall hoping Nick would show up, then Jason almost started up with how it was now a Trio, the Wu-tang clan, before Nick actually showed up and they played their asses off. You couldn't help but actually enjoy yourself, the alcohol in your system mixing with the good music made it easier as you danced with random men and women. But all nights had to come to an end, and so soon while you were gathering round with your friends and smiling, Victoria and Ralph appeared.
"Such a giddy-making delight of a night, all thanks to you gentlemen." She smiled, before looking at the boys.
"Now, who would like a dance with the birthday girl?" She asked, Horace started to raise his hand before Jason pushed it down.
"I thought you'd never ask." He smiled and left with her. 
"And what about the birthday boy?" Ralph asked, and your eyes met Lauren's.
"Oh, I'm not-" Horace started but Ralph cut him off.
"Oh no, I was talking to that-,This one-, particular one of you." He gestured to Lauren before asking her directly.
"Would you?" She looked over at you once more, unsure of what to do, and noticed Ralph turn his head to look at you as well, seemingly following Lauren's gaze. You smiled, hoping it was a happy and reassuring smile, but the look on her face said that the disappointment showed through. But she still sighed, looked at Ralph and nodded.
"Yeah, go on then". You watched them head to the dance floor, Ralph looking especially excited while Lauren looked uneasy.
"Oi, you alright?" Horace asked, looking over at you.
"Me? On yeah I'm fine" you waved him off, going back to your drink.
"You sure, you look….sad" 
"No I'm fine, just a bit tired is all" you lied, and from the look on his face, he didn't buy it.
"Right come on then" he stated, putting your drink down and grabbing your hand.
"Excuse you sir" you laughed.
"Nope, don't even try it, no friend of mine is going to be looking like the girl who didn't get asked to prom" he smiled, you knew his comment was supposed to cheer you up but he didn't have to hit home like that.
"Thank you?" You questioned as the two of you started dancing. 
You couldn't help the glances over to Lauren and Ralph, glances you thought were sneaky…guess you thought wrong"
"You fancy him?"
"What?" 
"You do" Horace smiled
"I don't know what you're talking about" you stated, slightly glaring at your friend.
"You find him proper fit yeah?" 
"Horace please" you begged
"I'm not gonna tell, everyone has their types" he smiled.
"His is Lauren" you muttered, but he was close enough to catch it.
"So that's what's got you so down" he spoke, making you look at him.
"Don't let one fish ruin the sea for you"
"It isn't just one fish though" you sighed, jumping slightly when Lauren's voice was beside you.
"Why don't we switch partners, make the evening even more fun" she smiled an uneasy smile at you, Ralph behind her looking confused as she took your hands from Horace and replaced them with her own, both of them trying not to grimace at the weird action for them both. 
"Oh..um.." you stood, mouth opening and closing as they danced away, you slowly turned and were met with those same eyes that made your entire world melt away just this morning.
"Shall we then?" He asked after a moment.
"Oh..yes…sure" you gave a shy smile, placing one hand on his shoulder and holding his other, your breath catching in your throat when his hand rested on your waist. The two of you slowly swayed to the music, your eyes darting between his gaze and anywhere else, afraid if you stared too long you may get lost in those brown puppy dog eyes. It really should have been illegal for someone to look this beautiful. But a distinct tapping sound brought you out of your thoughts and as you slowly identified the sound you couldn't help the giggle.
"Are you wearing tap shoes?"
"Yes, aren't they wizard!" He smiled excitedly, his eyes twinkling just as they had this morning. And you couldn't stop the smile that reached your lips at the sight.
"Very, if I knew tap shoes were allowed I would have brought some, they make dancing more fun" you laughed, causing him to smile even brighter at you. 
"Oh do they, tonight has been the best birthday" he replied, and you nodded, because it really had been a good night.
"I'm glad you had fun Ralphie, happy birthday" you smiled, and watched as his face slowly morphed from excited to shocked, making your smile drop to a confused expression.
"Ralphie?" He questioned, causing your eyes to go wide as you quickly tried to come up with something, how could you do that? How could you slip up and give him a nickname the day you met him?! And not just any nickname, but one that sounds like it would be said by a lover! You wracked your brain for something, completely missing the blush that had spread on his cheeks from the nickname as he replayed it again and again in his head.
'Ralphie…Ralphie' he loved the sound of it, or maybe he loved the sound of you saying it with such affection, his mind playing him small movies, you sitting next to him, his head in your lap as he played his ukulele, you smiling down at him, playing with his hair as he sung…You curled up in his arms as he read you his favorite book, both of you comfortable under his sheets before you would drift off for the night…You atop him…your dress slowly sliding off your shoulder, your head thrown back and mouth open as you repeated that name…his na-
"I'm so sorry, I forgot that some people don't like nicknames, I tend to give them without thinking, I really am sorry" you settled on your excuse, watching as he blinked repeatedly, seemingly coming out of his thoughts.
"That's um" he cleared his throat.
"That's quite alright, you just caught me unaware, I'm not used to being called such…simply Ralph" he replied, finally meeting your eyes again, and you noticed his pupils were a little blown. 
"Sorry, I'll just stick to Ralph" you tried to laugh it off but he quickly cut you off"
"I like Ralphie.

Chapter 1088: Ethics 101
This write-up is a bit delayed, but I definitely wanted to comment on a few things.
For one thing, Garp’s lesson feels like he’s teaching a philosophy class.
Tumblr media
So, that’s probably why it reminded me of Chidi in The Good Place, particularly when he was going over the Trolley Problem. (It’s not an exact replica of the ethical dilemma here but there are similarities.)
Tumblr media
Garp gets lectured for telling his proteges to protect the future...
Tumblr media
Of course, the Marines declaring “All lives are equal” is downright laughable. These are the people who serve at the whim of the Celestial Dragons, wiped out Ohara, Flevance, and, recently, Lulusia. 
They’re also content to sacrifice troops rather than take on an Emperor, so it takes a SWORD Member (Koby) to step in.
Tumblr media
It’s interesting that Koby volunteered here; Blackbeard wasn’t actually interested in him in the first place.
Still, the fact that Blackbeard took this deal means Koby’s reputation is widespread. Rocky Port reveal when, Oda?!
Back to the present day, is it weird to say that Garp reminds me a bit of Luffy here?
Tumblr media
Luffy has unwavering faith in his nakama. He has people on his crew who can do things he can’t, and he can do things they can’t. Garp here, like his grandson, puts his unmitigated faith in his people--though in this case, it’s more a case of handing the baton to the next generation. We’ve been focusing mostly on the next generation of pirates in the Worst Generation, but this is the next generation of the Marines stepping forward into the limelight.
Once the youngin’s are off, Garp returns his focus to his former protégé.
Tumblr media
And all I can think of is Monty Python.
Tumblr media
Okay, fine. It’s quite compelling that we’ve got Garp protecting and encouraging his current batch of proteges while facing off against his former protégé in Kuzan. (Kuzan’s line last chapter about Garp raising enemies is still ringing in my ears; that was cold.)
We also get a flashback, learning Koby’s been doing the “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” training montage from Mulan after training.
“You must be swift as the coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon”
Tumblr media
Koby is so wholesome that even his attack has a wholesome name.
Tumblr media
Still, this is very impressive. Koby stocks on the rise.
Garp, Grus, and Helmeppo get back to the ship, just leaving Garp remaining on Hachinosu.
Tumblr media
Look, I have plenty of issues with Garp, but to his credit here, he’s willing to walk the walk when it comes to saving the future generation over the old generation. He sacrifices himself so they ship can escape.
(Also, what was the point in Tashigi being here? I was really hoping we were going to see Smoker at some point, but nope. She’s just hanging out in the background doing nothing. Yeesh, let the woman do something for once, Oda.)

This looks bad for Garp. It feels like a sendoff, and Garp--a D.--is laughing in the face of death. 
I don’t think he’s dead, though. For one thing, this is One Piece where death is made up and the points don’t matter. And the narration box says he’s MIA, which is quite different than some of the other more dramatic descriptions of defeat we’ve gotten in recent chapters.
Second, this is not the first time we’ve seen a D. face death with a smile and survive. (Remember Law’s smirk when Doffy had a gun to his chest on the rooftop in Dressrosa?) 
Third, if Saul survived Kuzan’s attack, I’d imagine Garp could, too. I could see the ice here is actually saving him from what looks like an ugly stab wound.
More than that, though, it’s makes little strategic sense to kill him. Blackbeard wants a hostage to bargain with the World Government for Hachinosu’s sovereignty. Garp is a significantly more high-value hostage than Koby; it would not be smart to kill him and lose their leverage when they could use him. 
Narrative-wise, there’s also a lot left to settle between Luffy and Garp. And what about Dragon?
There’s so much setup with Hachinosu that we’re definitely going there with the Straw Hats at some point. I still think Luffy and Law team up again now that Law is both crewless and shipless, and if Blackbeard takes the surviving Hearts hostage, that will give the renewed alliance reason to go there. Law would also likely be able to save a frozen Garp using his fruit. 
All of that being said, I’m looking forward to returning to Egghead next chapter as the Marines arrive.

summary: “Must be nice to have your own room now, then,” she replied, then immediately tensed, worried she’d misstepped. They were both here because of tragedy – for all she knew, that crewmate was dead now, blown to bits up in the wide open sky. He sighed, stretching out his legs and tilting his head. “To be honest, I kind of miss it.” His voice didn’t sound upset or angry. Looks like she’d dodged a bullet once again. Vera always said her lack of tact was going to get her in trouble one day, and she kind of liked this Robert Rosenthal. Or at least, she didn’t mind having his company in the kennels. wc: just a tidy 1.3k notes: so i know i said i wasn't going to write for mota until it was all said and done. but that one line in e6 made my brain start firing away and it wouldn't stop until i did this. i don't know if this is going to become a whole Thing but knowing me i wouldn't be surprised. anyways enjoy!!!! its also on ao3 if you prefer that
“We have all the sports and activities you can ask for. Tennis, bicycles, croquet, riding with hounds, the list goes on. Relaxation is the order of the day here.”
“Riding with hounds” sounded like the stupidest thing Anna Marie could imagine, but she could be grateful for the upside-down minds of the British if it meant the Flakhouse had a kennel. She could curl up here, among the snuffling noses and velvety ears of the dogs, and not think about Cora or Ruby or Vera or any of the girls on the Morning Ride. These dogs – foxhounds, the woman who brought her in had told her – weren’t the same as her hounds back home, but their eyes were sweet and they bayed the same once she got them riled up. Anna Marie couldn’t find it in her to dress up and trot along on a horse, but she had come to enjoy going through the woods on foot, trying to keep up with the pack of dogs let loose on the forest. Aside from the people who worked here, she was one of the only ones who came to visit the dogs. So when she came down one night and saw an unfamiliar man knelt down, petting Goose, she almost stopped in her tracks.
She could hear him talking quietly to the dog. “You are the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen, aren’t you?” His voice was soft and singsong-y, a universal tone for talking to pets. He scratched Goose behind one ear and Anna Marie felt her mouth curve up at the scene. It had been a long time since she’d had a reason to smile.
“Goose is sweet,” she finally managed to find her voice. The man jumped at the sound of her voice, spinning around to face her, surprisingly coordinated. Hardly a curl was out of place, despite her sneaking up on him and the late hour. His eyes were very blue in the low light. “He likes when you scratch him at the base of his tail.”
“I’m surprised he let me pet him at all. I’m not great with dogs.” He forced a laugh out, trying to stay casual. Anna Marie could see the shadows under his eyes. She’d bet he’d been sleeping about as much as her, which is to say, not at all.
“What are you doing down here, then?” She stepped carefully over the mass of sleepy hounds, heading for her favorite spot. She’d been here long enough that the dogs knew to leave her a space against the wall where she could prop herself up and bore herself to sleep with one of the doctor’s dense medical texts. Cora would have gotten a kick out of seeing her read through it. 
Anna Marie boxed that thought up nice and neat and punted it to the back of her mind.
“Went out for a late night stroll, realized I never saw the kennels,” he turned to follow her progress across the room, looking amused at how she picked across the space. “You?”
She shrugged, pushing someone’s rump out of the way of her legs as she sat down. “I like it here. Reminds me of home.”
“Where are you from that you have this many dogs?” His eyebrows furrowed and he looked dubiously around the kennel.
“I don’t have quite this many, but we hunt with ‘em back home.” Anna Marie couldn’t bring herself to crack the textbook open now. She was surprised at how much she liked talking to this man, whoever he was.
“Man,” he rocked back on his heels. “The biggest dog we had back home was my aunt’s terrier. She used to terrorize the corner store, nipped at the owner’s ankles when he didn’t give her a treat.”
Anna Marie laughed. The sound was rusty, punching out from deep in her chest. It felt like something was coming unstuck inside her. She absently fidgeted with one of the dog’s ears, rubbing it between her fingers. The man shimmied over closer to her, finding an unoccupied spot between Goose and another dog. “I should introduce myself. Robert Rosenthal.” He stuck out his hand, waiting for her to shake.
She accepted. “Anna Marie McDowell.” His name was familiar, though she couldn’t place it at first. She kicked it to the same place as her other boxes, decided she’d worry about it at a later date. “What was your aunt’s dog named?”
“Rigatoni,” he replied, fidgeting with a spare leaf. Anna Marie laughed again, pushing her fist in her mouth to keep from startling the dogs. “He was shaped like a noodle, so the name stuck.” His smile was bright as he laughed along with her, even in the dim room.
“My favorite dog back home is named Sawyer,” she offered up, once her laughter had quit. “He snores like you wouldn’t believe.”
“Sounds like one of my crewmates,” he said. “I love him but, man does that sound keep me awake.”
“Must be nice to have your own room now, then,” she replied, then immediately tensed, worried she’d misstepped. They were both here because of tragedy – for all she knew, that crewmate was dead now, blown to bits up in the wide open sky.
He sighed, stretching out his legs and tilting his head. “To be honest, I kind of miss it.” His voice didn’t sound upset or angry. Looks like she’d dodged a bullet once again. Vera always said her lack of tact was going to get her in trouble one day, and she kind of liked this Robert Rosenthal. Or at least, she didn’t mind having his company in the kennels. 
They were dancing around the topic now, the reasons both of them were here. Even Anna Marie wasn’t so bull-headed as to come right out and ask. If someone did that to her, she’d probably take a swing at them. She didn’t want to talk about her girls, she just wanted to go, to get back at it, up in the sky. She was meant to be up there; her fingers itched to adjust the dials, to keep the wings of her craft steady, to chat with Ruby about where she’d take them if she could. And instead she was stuck here, in some ridiculous dress-up fantasy house where they could all pretend nothing was wrong.
Her mother’s voice came to her now, drifting through her head: quit acting ugly, Anna Marie. Her mama was right, as always. She was being ungrateful, like a spoiled little kid. She should be basking in the sun, playing tennis with some handsome pilot or chatting about this-or-that with the other girls. But she was never one for small talk, and tennis was for rich people up north. An image came to her mind unbidden, her and Rosenthal in crisp white polos, laughing and gently batting their rackets back and forth. It was so out of character she couldn’t help but snort.
Rosenthal heard her, smiling softly when she caught his eye. “Do you spend time with the dogs during the day, too? I don’t think I’ve seen you around playing croquet.”
“I do. I usually let ‘em run through the woods, see if I can keep up.”
“Mind if I join you sometime? I’m sick to death of sitting around.” His expression seemed hesitant, like he was worried he’d overstepped some boundary. “I promise I won’t come dressed for fox hunting.”
“Sure,” she answered, leftover laughter still coloring her tone. He brought out a levity in her she hadn’t realized had been missing so long. “Come down one morning.”
“Alright,” he nodded, hauling himself up to his feet. Goose snuffled at the disturbance, before rolling over to take up the spot. “It was nice to meet you, Anna.”
“Anna Marie,” she corrected reflexively. Rosenthal gave a small wave and left, off to sleep or, more likely, explore another part of this endless home of leisure activity. Anna Marie finally opened the textbook to a section on the femur, falling asleep before she’d even gotten two paragraphs in.

Greetings!! Just posting a fanfic I wrote for my homework :33 (Yes, it is Lennabel) this is also posted on ao3 and wattpad!
——————————–-`♡´-–——————————
A Clandestine Night
In the heart of town, a wealthy man threw a lavish ball, inviting only his closest friends. The event hums with excitement as guests anticipate a night of luxury and camaraderie.
Annabel Lee Whitlock, an undercover spy seeking the rich man's wealth, disguised as one of the man's guests. As for her disguise, she posed as Arabella Delphine, one of the plush man's trusted friends. For her plan to work out, she must not be seen by the host otherwise she would be caught with no way out.
To fit in with the guests, she wore a Midnight Blue bust down strapless evening dress with a black shawl around her upper arms, she had black long satin gloves.
There she arrived at the party right on time, the greeter at the entrance checked her name on the guest list. She was let in effortlessly, she smiled at this—this was gonna be easier than she thought. She walked among the crowds, the giggles and laugh of the other guests rang in her ears yet this didn't distract her, she continued on with her mission of finding the host’s vault.
She was wandering around trying to find a way to sneak into the vault when suddenly she stumbled upon a… woman with a suit? “How unusual…” she dusted off her dress, staring into the woman right in front of her.
“Greetings, I apologize for bumping into you.” she hurriedly spoke, worried.
“It's fine, really. What's your name dear?” Annabel smiled, tucking a strand of her curled hair behind her ear.
“My name's Lenore, Lenore Vandernacht. Pleasure to meet you.” Lenore smiled back, kissing the back of Annabel's hand.
She introduced herself. “I'm Arabella Delphine.” She continued on her disguise, not letting that kiss on the hand expose her.
“Ah! You're one of the host’s friends, yes?”
“Indeed, are you not one of his friends?”
“... I am, yes! I just thought you were one of the staff.”
“A staff?.. wearing a dress?”
"Oh! Well, can the staff not wear formal dress wear in a party as well?” Lenore smiled innocently, a hint of an annoyed tone hidden behind her voice.
Annabel glared “Hm, I suppose.” She uttered in defeat.
The two stood there awkwardly, waiting for the other to speak. It was only a few seconds but time seemed to drag on endlessly, Annabel just wanted to leave and continue to her mission but the other woman spoke.
“What brings you to the party?”
“Well I was invited, of course I would attend it. I never miss a party.”
“Ah, a partygoer. What's your work?”
“Oh, my dad owns a company. It's called ‘AD’ he's planning to make me CEO.”
“I've heard of that company before, are you the daughter of Ambrose Delphine?”
“Indeed, I must leave. I'm meeting up with a friend.”
“I understand, apologies for disturbing you.”
“It's quite alright, it was a pleasure talking to you. Ta-ta!” With that, Annabel quickly left.
Lenore, with a gleam of mischief dancing in her eyes and a playful smirk curling her lips, watched intently, her gaze fixed upon the target. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she transmitted her observation through the concealed earpiece, her voice laced with amusement as she confirmed, "Yeah, I got her in sight.”
At the same time, Annabel finally found the vault. Thoughts of getting richer crossed her mind, but she reminded herself to focus on the task at hand. There she twisted the lock instantly opening it, she smiled at the sight of glowing gold before her. Before stepping in, she stopped. She thought for a moment, “This is way too easy,” a hint of suspicion lingered in her voice, she continued “There must be a catch.” she observed inside the vault, trying to find anything unusual or suspicious. When she found none, she took a deep breath before stepping in. No alarms were set up, she let out a sigh of relief. She took out a bag and started with the money first.
After that, she moved on to the gold but she was stopped. She heard a familiar voice behind her speak, her heart dropped to her stomach.
“Well, well, well.. Hello ‘Arabella’.”
Annabel turned around facing the woman she talked to earlier, Lenore. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh, I was worried that you wouldn't find your way to your little friend.” Lenore spoke sarcastically. “Tch, I knew you were aiming for the vault. I knew you from the start Annabel Lee Whitlock.”
A drop of sweat fell from Annabel's face as she glared at the woman in front of her. She could feel the tension in the air thickening with each passing moment. “What do you want, Lenore?”
Lenore just smirked playfully, walking closer to the Spy. She whispered in her ear, “Put those back Annabel Lee.”
Therefore Annabel lunged at Lenore, pinning her to the ground. Afterwards Lenore punched her in the face, leaving a bruise. Annabel groaned and stood up, a death glare could be seen. Lenore pinned her against the wall, leaving almost no space between them.
Annabel kicked her in the stomach and ran with money and some gold in her bag. Lenore stumbled and fell on the floor, landing on her butt. She quickly stood up and ran after Annabel, but it was too late, Annabel was already near the exit and Lenore would never reach her. However she kept running after her.
Annabel took off her heels and ran even faster. She got into her getaway car, and the driver drove off, leaving Lenore behind. She stood there, fuming that she hadn't caught the criminal. With a sigh, she informed her boss that she hadn't succeeded in apprehending the criminal. With that, she returned to the party.
During that time, Annabel began to breathe heavily once she got in the car. Exhausted from the running, she glanced at the driver, who wore a puzzled expression.
“Prospero, I- *pant* I didn't get all of it. But I got some!”
Prospero, the driver spoke with a satisfied tone. “Well done, Annabel.”
