The one about Y/n and her Stuffie
Based Off Of This Ask
And This One
This One Too
A/N: ITS BEEN OVER A FUCKING MONTH SINCE I LAST POSTEDDDD…but I’m backkkk🤪🥳😙😌it’s not the fic i originally planned on doing for my next piece, but since I’m currently in the middle of everything in my life rn, and this plot doesn’t have to be extremely thought out, i figured i’d do a hot lil fic for y’all. Enjoyy girliess...i hope it doesn't suckk🙃
When Harry came upstairs, he was expecting you to be doing just about anything besides what you were actually doing. As soon as he stepped foot into the doorway of the bedroom, Harry was stopped right in his tracks, completely focused on you, and beyond stunned at the sight in front of him. You were down to a tight little t-shirt and a little pair of panties, and you were humping one of the cute little stuffies he’d bought for you some time ago. You had your legs spread wide over the toy and both of your hands planted on the bed in front of you as you messily dug your cunt into the stuffed toy. Harry intently watched and listened as you tried to relieve yourself. He relished in the sounds of your desperate whines and moans, taking in all of your cries for daddy and how your pussy was in need of and completely throbbing for him. From where he was standing, Harry could clearly see how you were moving against the stuffed toy. You never let up with your movements, continuously digging your needy pussy into the stuffie. You were really intent on digging your clit into it and making sure to rub against the raised parts of the toy to get the most pleasure. And when you rubbed yourself just right, you’d go into a complete frenzy, trying to recreate and feel that exact feeling over and over again. 
As Harry stood there, not only could he not stop himself from pushing a hand into his pants to squeeze at his cock, Harry also had the inability to stop his mind from wandering and conjuring up all the things he could do to you in the position you were in. For starters, Harry could just picture himself coming up from behind you and pushing you down onto your front before tossing the stuffie away and replacing it with his cock. If he did that, Harry was certain that you’d have the loudest and prettiest screams and moans from being suddenly manhandled and from the sudden and intense pleasure. Harry also dreamt of you thrashing back and forth against his cock. Once you’re all done fighting with his cock and you’ve finally gotten all of him into that tight little entrance of yours, Harry could vividly picture you moving against him in the same way you’re moving against the stuffed toy. You’d have your hands planted on his chest and you’d be trying to get into a rhythm but you’d be quickly overcome by the pleasure and you’d just do whatever would give you the most pleasure. The vivid visuals of you moving on his cock are accompanied by the picture of your tits bouncing in front of his face. And the fact that he could see your pebbled nipples through your shirt only made the visual that much better. Those were just two of the many filth ridden thoughts that roamed Harry’s mind as he watched you. And with each and every one of these scenarios, while all being different from the last, you were gushing in no time, making a complete and very wet mess on the bed at the end of every one of them. 
Eventually, after a while of silently stalking you from across the room, Harry finally (and kind of begrudgingly) pulls his hand from his pants and makes his way over to the side of the bed where you were. He then brings a hand up to softly caress your cheek, to which you slightly jump from the sudden company. 
“What are you doing puppy?” He softly asks, watching as you continue to hump the stuffie between your legs.
“I can’t help it daddy! My clit hurts so good!” You pitifully slur, your eyes remaining snapped shut as you continue to move against the toy.
“Want daddy to make it stop hurting and feel good sweet girl?” Harry asks sweetly, continuing to stroke your cheek and watch you dig your clit into the stuffie, noticing you still had the jewel plug in from earlier in the day. 
“Please daddy! You can do anything you want just- m’throbbing so bad!” You whine in response, opening your eyes for the first time in Harry’s direction. Your eyes were all watery and he could see how bad you needed him and how subby you were feeling.
Without wasting anymore time, Harry swiftly maneuvers you both onto the bed. He pulls you down onto your back, completely abandoning the stuffie, before removing the little bit of clothes you had on from your body. He then proceeds to undress himself, practically ripping his clothes off before climbing between your legs. As soon as he does this, his attention shoots down between your legs to see what he was working with.
“Aww look, your little cunt is all swollen and sticky.” He coos, admiring how swollen and dripping you were for him. “So desperate; how pathetic.” He chuckles, bringing his hand down to pinch your puffy pussy lips between his index and thumb, getting his fingers covered in your juices. “What made you so needy baby?” Harry asks, keeping your pinched between his fingers as he lowers himself down between your legs.
“Just-“ You softly sigh, not wanting to give him the real, and slightly embarrassing answer.
“Just what?” He presses before bringing his mouth in and sticking his tongue out to lap up the juices that were spilling from the part where your two lips met. When he does this, you immediately try and snap your legs shut. But Harry stops you right in your tracks. “Close them and you won’t cum.” Harry simply, yet sternly replies, causing you to open your legs back up. “Good girl. But if you don’t answer, you won’t cum or get my cock.” Harry continues on.
“But daddy!” You whine, trying to get out of revealing why you were humping the stuffie not too long ago. 
“If you wanna cum, you better tell me. Or I could just suck on your swollen little button until you cry then jerk off right in front of you. It’s completely up to you.” You couldn’t argue with that ultimatum. In the state that you were in, the simple thought of not being able to cum made your eyes well up a little. 
“Fine…I was thinking about how good it felt when you took me after you pushed my princess plug in earlier.” You manage to finally spit out, struggling to do so from the way Harry kept squeezing your lips together. 
“So all of this is because my baby is a little cockslut.” Harry cockily relishes with a wide smirk spread across his face. “That makes it even better.” Harry hums before suckling on your clit. You didn’t even have the time to scream from how good his mouth felt because it only lasts a couple seconds before he’s letting go of your pussy lips and removing his mouth, moving himself back up your body. Stopping on the way up to sponge wet kisses onto your already pebbled nipples. Harry then attaches his lips to yours, trapping them into a sloppy, lust filled kiss. You let Harry do most of the work, keeping your mouth open and moving your lips against his. As he kissed you, you could hear Harry’s shaky breaths and moans, and you could feel him rutting his cock against your sticky cunt. This only made you need him more than you already did. You wanted to move around and try and push him inside, but Harry had you trapped pretty good. All you could do was move your head around a bit. So that’s what you did, you moved your head to the side, causing Harry’s mouth to break away from yours.
“Need you daddy!” You beg, wrapping your hand around Harry’s bicep that was right by your head.
“Y’always needing me, you’re my little cockslut remember?” Harry coos into your ear, using his other hand to blindly line himself up with your soaking entrance. “All you can think about is me splitting your little pussy apart to fit all of my cock in there.” Harry begins, bringing his hips in to start filling you up. “All you can think about is being pounded until I’m done using your pathetic little hole.” Harry grunts into your ear, bringing the other arm up to rest against the bed near your head. “I bet you like feeling completely powerless when I’m fucking into you.” Harry groans, feeling your tight walls around him as he practically pries them apart with his large cock. As Harry speaks and fills you up, you’re losing your mind below him. Not only are you losing the ability to even think, you’re also feeling and relishing in the pleasurable sting that came along with Harry’s cock and the full feeling that came along with it as well. On top of feeling incredibly needy, you were feeling subby as well, which only intensified the feeling and caused you to use your stuffie. All you could do was dig your nails into his biceps that were almost cradling your head and whimper as Harry made sure you felt everything he gave you.
Once he’s fully inside, Harry goes right into pounding you. And he doesn’t let up. He continuously slams his hips down into yours, pushing his cock all the way up inside of you again and again. With every thrust, there was a flick to your clit. He’d always come down, in, and up, causing you to feel everything inside and out. On top of all that, Harry had his mouth right up to your ear and you could hear his beyond animalistic growls. He kept asking you ‘Is this what you wanted?’ and he kept telling you how good of a fuck and cockslut you were and that he loved destroying you. 
Harry was on cloud nine to say the least. He had worked himself up enough leading up to this moment that he could be cumming any second now. But he decided to hold off a little longer. Not only were your insides, your perfect little walls feeling even more amazing, but he was enjoying being able to fuck you like this, all rough and filthy while you were feeling all small and subby. When you were like this, Harry would go on a bit of a power trip and just degrade you and fuck you any which way he wanted. And on top of that, he got to hear your whimpers and cries from how good it all felt in the process. With the position he had you two in, the same way his growls were clear in your ears, Harry’s able to clearly hear your cries and whimpers from how good it all felt. Harry thought your loopy moans and whimpers were music to his ears. He even heard you call yourself daddy’s cockslut, which only made him go even harder on your pussy.
“Please daddy! I need t’cum!” You whimper, holding on to his biceps for dear life as young for him to let you finally cum. Even though you weren’t being that good of a girl earlier when you were using the stuffie, you didn’t cum, which is a big rule of Harry’s, especially when you haven’t gotten permission. So you’d been holding this release for a long time now and you were dying to just let go already!
“Awww, does my baby’s pathetic little pussy need to cum around daddy’s big cock.” Harry coos patronizingly, continuing his never ending thrusts. 
“Can’t hold it anymore daddy!” You cry, beginning to squirm underneath his tight grip from how much this orgasm was consuming you.
“Go ahead doll, show me how much of a little cockwhore you are for daddy.” Harry pants into your ear before lifting himself up from on top of you, stopping to spit down into your mouth as he sits up. Harry then begins to feel your walls rapidly pulsating and convulsing around his cock. And to follow up, a warm stream of your juices begin to gush out of you, getting Harry and the sheets wet. But you were too busy feeling absolutely amazing to even care. Harry was in awe at how much you were squirting and he thought you looked absolutely adorable as you came around him. He also felt very riled up and anxious to have a similar release of his own. 
Once he feels like he’s given you enough time to ride the seismic waves of your release, Harry dives right back in, not skipping a beat with his intense thrusts.
“Can’t anymore daddy!” You cry out to him, trying your hardest to close your legs around him and push his body away from between your legs as you were just coming down from your first high and were already feeling another powerful release quickly building inside the kind of sore pit of of your stomach. 
“But you said you wanted it doll.” Harry reminds through his teeth as he pries your legs back apart. “You were so caught up in being a little cockslut you forgot about what you agreed to.” Harry chuckles down at you. He resumes his thrusts and then proceeds to slap your clit a couple of times, causing you to have mini releases, squirting onto him back to back with every slap he delivered to your clit. “Messy little slut aren’t you. Look at how much you squirt when I destroy your pussy.” Harry moans, continuing to deliver a couple more sting filled slaps to your oh so sensitive button, garnering a few more screams and squirts of your warm juices to his lower body. 
Harry then flips you onto your front, to which he pushes your legs apart a little more before sitting on top of them to keep you down before wrapping his hands around your hips and plunging back into you. You were already worn out so he didn’t exactly have to pin you down. As he fucks into you, Harry can feel his overwhelming release beginning to overtake all of his senses in the exact same way yours did. He began to feel even more pressure in the pit of his stomach as his impending release mounted and mounted, waiting to be released. 
When he’s just a mere minutes away from his release, Harry lays himself down on your back, keeping his mouth close to your ear as he sloppily delivers his final thrusts. You could feel him sucking on the area right below your ear as he reached the hilt of his release.
“And if there has to be one thing I love most about having you as my needy little cockslut, it’d have to be the fact you keep my cum all save and warm in that perfect little honey pot between your legs.” Harry growls before unloading every last drop of his cum into you. Your body was a complete and quivering mess as you took all of Harry’s heavy load, and as you gushed all over him and the bed for the second time.

『 Comfort 』
Sukuna x F!Reader
Word count: 2.1k
Tags: Fluff???, Established Relationship, Angst, Mentions of death, self hate, and abuse, slightly insane reader, slightly soft Sukuna
A/N: Readers abilities are touching people to make them sleep, transfer memories, and see past (for those with DID, talk to the souls within the persons mind). She serves as a informant by going inside victims heads to look in their pasts for curses that were around them; informing her teammates of location and grade level. She can also gain powers from whomever she touches for a short period of time.
Ex: Sukuna can give Malevolent Shrine to her for battle, but after one use/within five minutes, it vanishes. If she uses powers that are harsh on her body, (domain expansions or strong cursed manipulation) she faints/gets nose bleeds.
Your feet dragged against the brutally cold floors of the first-year dormitories at Jujutsu Tech. Everything around you was dark, dim light being provided by the full moons reflection through the windows. The corridor felt like a never-ending strip as you silently sobbed under your h/c locks.
Today was… hard. Usually, you can handle the painful endeavors of reaching into the depths of stranger’s minds, but today was different. Todays victim was a young boy, not even a teen, who was abused by his own parents. When you grazed his swollen cheeks as he lied motionless on the floor, the fear he felt as his mother raised a hand to him engulfed your body. Then and there on the scene, you began to cry uncontrollably.
Doing the same thing every day, seeing the same pain in people’s memories, reliving all of their fears within seconds- it was beginning to rip your soul apart piece by piece. At first, it was manageable. However, over the past year of being at this damned jujutsu school, all you seem to feel is excruciating aches in both body and soul.
Recalling the child’s memories, you fell against the wall of the corridor while burying your tearstained face into the same shaking, gloved hands that touched him. Gojo Satoru picked you to be a student because of your “Stability”, yet you were turning into the opposite. The way you viewed death and the nature of It was what impressed Gojo and everyone around you the most, though you have never seen yourself as impressive. All you do is touch people and relay information, nothing too complicated, right?
A door creaked open after your fall emitted a loud thud in the room behind you. When you lifted your head to apologize, you noticed it was none other than Yuji Itadori- Sukuna’s vessel in other words. The young sorcerers’ eyes widened at seeing you in such a distraught state, hastily running over to you. Yuji scanned your body for wounds but was only able to find a pair of empty eyes. “Y/n? Are you alright? C’mon, lets get you to your room.” He scooped you into his arms, carrying you as a mother does with her sleeping child.
Yuji opened the door, gently placing you onto the silk sheets of the rooms bed as you silently cursed yourself for being so weak. The expression you bared made him pained, so he attempted to make you comfortable by taking your shoes off. After doing so, he sat to side of the bed. He held your shielded hand into his bare ones before recommending, “How about talking to Sukuna?”
Your voided eyes closed as you slouched into the headboard. Sukuna would be disappointed to see you in such a state, him possibly refusing to secretly work with you anymore if he saw this mess. Or even worse, he’d stop loving you. From that thought, your mind continued to spiral.
While stuck in your self-pity, Yuji was removing a glove from your hand. “Gojo makes you talk to Sukuna for information, but I know you enjoy talking to each other. He thinks about you a lot.”
Hearing Yuji’s words made your eyelids flash open like lightning as he removed the glove completely. Gojo assigned you to become an informant for him by touching Yuji to go into Sukuna’s domain, however that plan backfired. Overtime, you began to tell Gojo you couldn’t get anything from him, while secretly falling for and scheming with Sukuna. There was a pact made between the two of you: In exchange for touching Yuji to temporarily gain sukuna’s abilities, you must kill with those powers.
You grew to hate violence over the years; having seen multiple forms of it through people’s memories. But you made an exception, being that violence should be used against those who use violence with malicious intent. Although it is a bit of a hypocritical way to think.
When going out with Yuji and others, you take advantage of the surroundings by stalking your next prey. You do this by “accidentally” bumping into people on the streets and reading their memories to search for any abusers, cheaters, or murderers. Although you were technically a killer too, you knew one day you’d have to pay for your sins. Lately, that day seems to be snaking its way closer to you.
“Y/n?” Yuji questioned with a slight tilt of his head; his voice snapping you from your train of thought. Raising the hand he ungloved, the fingertip of your index finger tapped against his forehead. With the tap, his body relaxed before falling into a deep state of sleep. His head fell onto your lap, giving a perfect opening to use your ability. You took the smooth palm of your bare hand, and cupped Yuji’s jawline. This was how you opened communication into someone’s memories, or in this case, into someone’s personalities.
Although you were nervous to see what sukuna would think of you in such a ruined state, Yuji’s words made you feel relaxed. Sukuna was your partner after all, he should be able to see you like this. But then again, he was the king of curses, not just some human guy you picked up on a dating website. In the end though, your want of Sukuna’s comfort overlaps your fear.
Your eyelids shut, then reopened in a different place. It was still nighttime at this location, but it was not the physical world that humans are used to- even if it felt like it was. A vast plateau of flowers swayed in the man-made dream you were in. Constellations of multiple forms helped the moon light up the colorful night sky. The cool air caused you to slightly shiver as it brushed through the grass.
“Why did you bring me here, brat? I was sleepin’ on my throne.”
Sukuna’s rugged voice didn’t seem to faze you as you gazed upwards to the moon. Instead, it oddly comforted you. Although most are terrified of his presence alone, it did not budge your already cracking mind in any shape or form. It slightly annoyed Sukuna that he couldn’t scare you, but it felt comfort in knowing that there is at least one person in this world who doesn’t flinch at the sound of his name.
When you didn’t respond to his question, he lifted a brow in confusion. The robed man slowly stepped through the tall grass, his hands staying in his pockets of course. “Hey,” he started as his warm palm gripped your right shoulder, “Answer me.” His tone became serious, but if you squint, you can see the worry in it. The sound of your silence was so damn loud.
Sukuna jerked your shoulder, revealing your heartbroken expression to his red pupils. You leaned your head downwards, feeling embarrassed that he had to see you like this, but who else could you have gone to? “Yu-Yuji told me y-ou,” you hickuped while trying to speek, trying to hold back your tears from him, “He t-told me you… think about me.” Your tears looked like melting diamonds as they fell from under your locks and into the moonlight.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3qrKjywjo7Q
(For those that want to feel the moment.)
He didn’t know what to feel, nor what to do, until you muttered out, “I’m sorry…”
In that moment, you felt your knees go weak. Your legs gave out, making you fall into the grass. Sukuna quickly grabbed your waist, falling into the grass with you as your cushion. He nuzzled his tattooed face against your puffy cheeks while whispering, “Show me what happened.”
You lifted a hand, cupping his jawline to open communication into his nervous system. Through the line, you showed him the memories you saw and how they hurt you. Sukuna couldn’t have been less fazed, seeing as he is the king of curses and was a mass murderer. But when he saw the expression you made when ripping your hand away from the boy, his spirit felt like a nail went through the center of it.
He sighed, moving loose hairs from your forehead so he could have a full look at your bloodshot eyes. Your e/c orbs told him how drained you were beginning to feel from the mortal world. He cooed, “I wish I wasn’t trapped in this brat. I would destroy the entire world for you, Y/n… You wouldn’t have to deal with any shitty pains like this.”
Sukuna hated everyone, except you. As the saying goes, Heroes would sacrifice you for the world, while villains would sacrifice the world for you. He enjoys telling himself the lie of “Y/n got on my good side”, but Sukuna always knew the truth of why he couldn’t help but care for you so much: You changed him. Out of billions of people just on this planet alone, you were the one to take his heart, mind, and philosophy and then mold it.
Killing was killing to Sukuna, and that’s all there was to it. But he found his goals shifting when he meant you. The insanity that filled your eyes as you’d hold a fresh blade against the neck of your enemies. Human or curse, it didn’t matter to you. Bad was bad, good was good; things were black and white to you as they were to him, but in a different manner. Your bravery was another factor to his care for you. The fact that you went unarmed into Yuji’s mind after he ate the finger just to get a view of Sukuna’s throne without any care for consequences was such a curious thing to him.
You both saw things the same way, yet not. The complexity of your careless philosophy was something to applaud in his eyes. But as you lay in your despair, Sukuna is grimly reminded you are still a human that must endure the torture that is a fleeting life. He wanted you to be a curse like him, enjoying the comfort of eternity in a paradise he could build for just the two of you.
But in the end, you were just a human. And although it sounds like something he is absolutely disgusted by, it’s not. If anything, the fact you are just a human girl catches him off guard even more. A human girl managed to move a god’s heart. A human girl somehow has the power to see people’s pain and was never moved until many years later. Sukuna didn’t know if he should have been happy or terrified to find someone like you.
His thoughts were cut off by the sound of your silent sobs, making him close his eyes in uneasiness. It took him a few minutes, but he soon realized what he could do to relieve your pains. He saw what you saw and felt what you felt, therefore he knew just how helpless and weak you were feeling. To him, you werent weak at all, and he needs you to see that.
“Y/n.”
Your crystalized eyes looked to his blood-colored ones.
“Let me show you what I see.” His voice was soft, yet still had a rugged tone to it.
He pulled you upwards, making you sit up across from him while waving grass continued to surround the two of you. Leaning into you, his forehead leaned on yours as you snaked a hand across his palm, entangling your wrist with his fingers. The hand you were snaking tightly gripped at your forearm before you gripped onto his. Using this technique is a more intimate way of opening a line of communication. Both of your eyes closed to open it completely.
In Sukuna’s memories, you view things how he views them and see things through his mindset. It felt like a wave of ease flow throughout your body as you became comforted in the way he sees you. Most of the moments you saw were when you would smile, fight, or annoy Sukuna in general. Which, by the way, you were the only person who could ever taunt Sukuna and live to see the sun rise.
When your eyes fluttered open, he felt your lashes against his skin. This prompted him to open his eyes as well, and he found a pleasant surprise upon opening them. “What?” You questioned with a hint of sass, feeling your tears dry as your aching mind became soothed. Sukuna smirked, enjoying seeing a temporary tint of red over your normally e/c orbs.
Usually, your eyes don’t change colors after a connection, so it struck him as pleasant while it lasted, “Nothing, you are just a giant ass baby.”
“Oh shut the fuck up. You are the same person who got mad and came out when I ate a croissant that was meant for yuji!”
“I can taste whatever this brat eats, you realize that right? Those butter ones are tasty…”
Your eyes reverted back to their normal state as you bickered with your partner in the moonlight lit field. While back in the physical world, Yuji was snoring away on your bed in a very unflattering position. Although you don’t get to see Sukuna in the physical world, you still find comfort in feeling his soul In the spiritual world.

bnha hcs with an artsy s/o [1/?]
i’m going to make this a mini series, so expect to see this AND haikyuu characters too :) i will also do the k-pop hcs too, so look forward to that !
note: your quirk will be the same all around, if implied you have one!
Quirk: AMBIENT ILLUSION - with a single touch of your hand or glance, you are able to make your opponent think that they’ve been taken to another “realm,” but in actuality their body movements mimic those in the illusion; it’s a quirk that can be used for good or for bad; your creativity isn’t limited, but the side effects are headaches, nausea, and sometimes insanity for a short period of time until your stamina runs out or unless someone knocks you out
Hero Name: Chiaroscuro or Chiasu [for short]- referring to the major contrast of light and dark in an image; in italian it is said to literally mean light-dark
enjoy :)

The hottest day
Tumblr media
CHARACTERS | Everyone from the picture above.

GENRE | Domestic
IV | Day at the beach, Sea, Diving, Football | Soccer, Volleyball, Attempt at humour, Domestic fluff, Fluff, Alternate Universe - Everyone lives/ Nobody dies
SUMMARY | With the titans gone, no threats looming over the horizon, and summer being in full bloom, Survey Corps are left with one final and obvious thing to do: spend a day relaxing at the beach.
WORD COUNT | 3170
This has to be one of the hottest days yet, thought Levi as he looked out the window in Erwin’s office. He was slightly irritated by the golden yellow rays that were placing fire kisses on his form, making his charcoal black hair warm up to astronomical temperatures, his clothes suddenly too suffocating and his skin flush on areas such as his arms and cheeks. Outside those that were actually able to participate in training, would frequently stop to pour buckets of water over their head to cool off, their shirts long discarded and pants cuffed over the knees. The others that had given up, would rest under trees, basking in the shade or close to the building’s walls in the shade propagated by the roof. Erwin was sitting at his desk, completing the last set of documents for the day. The commander was by no means in a better state than anyone. His shirt was unbuttoned completely, exposing his muscular body, its sleeves cuffed just above the elbows. His hair was messily hanging over his forehead, where small beads of sweat would rest and trickle down his face. Levi grimaced, completely fed up of the intense smell of sweat oozing from his husband and the state in which the barracks and the soldiers where in, and stood up. The raven made his way to the desk at which the older man was absorbed completely in his work.
“Right, that’s enough.” Levi said, pulling Erwin out of his work. The blonde looked up and raised an eyebrow. “We need to do something about the heat.”
“And what do you propose?” Erwin rested his head in his hands, rubbing at his temples. “Please also keep in mind that I have not finished the documents yet.”
“Fuck your documents. That’s all you’ve been doing since we eradicated the titans, there’s no more work for us anymore and I’m sure the papers can wait for a while more. I think it’s time to enjoy the outside world, don’t you think?” Levi came behind Erwin and started massaging his shoulders.
“Yes. So this means…?” Erwin turned his head to look up at him, encouraging him to continue.
“I think we should go to the beach: me, you, Mike, Nanaba, Hange, Moblit, my squad, and those fetuses from the 104th. We worked hard, we did a good job. Even Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie are on our side now. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of our labour.” Levi proposed, giving Erwin a soft smile reserved just for him in their private moments. The older of the two furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head in thinking. After a moment, he let out a long and loud exhale, relaxing his shoulders completely, and turned to the raven reciprocating the same warm smile. With a slow nod, Erwin then told Levi, whose expression lit up like a Christmas tree: “Yes, I believe you are right. Please go announce the others and tell them to meet in 30 minutes at the front gate with their swimsuits and towels and whatever else they need in their bags. Do you want the blue or the green trunks?”
“Green.” Said Levi as he pecked Erwin’s cheek in appreciation, then made his way out the door.
-
Exactly 30 minutes later everyone gathered up at the gate, beaming with excitement, the sweat and dry heat in which they were engulfed moments ago long forgotten and replaced with visions of refreshing baths. Hange and Moblit displayed the biggest bags out of them all, stuffed to the brim with diving gear, and if their horses’ annoyed neighs and occasional stomping of foot was anything to go by: not at all light. Well, if it was for research then everything went through. Nanaba was the most relaxed out of them all as she didn’t have to carry, her bag in Mike’s possession, like the gentleman he was. Although, not only was he carrying her stuff but he also had a mini cooker secured in the back of his saddle, which was giving him a hard time, but he would do anything her and extra load was nothing for him. A year ago he had to carry so much more during battles and under more strenuous conditions.
The beach to which they went last year had been transformed into a port to encourage trade with other countries, so Erwin took up on Hange’s suggestion of visiting a new place they’d found while on patrol a few weeks before. The beach was beautiful, bushes and palm trees circling it then fading into white and smooth sand. The water was pristine and crystalline, the turquoise blending seamlessly into darker blues, hinting the constant increase in depth. The sun shone even more brightly than before as early morning had long passed, the afternoon now in full bloom. The impact it had on their skin was ebbed by the chilly breeze coming from the sea, ruffling their hair, clothes, and cloaks. As soon as they arrived, everyone unpacked and took off their clothing, leaving nothing but their bathing suits on.
After the initial excitement had passed and everyone had their share of refreshing baths, splashing in the sea, and taking in the landscape, they proceeded to split into groups. Mikasa and Annie had take the initiative of setting up a volleyball game against Sasha, Historia, and Ymir. At first, as the girls were getting used to the game, the ball flew smoothly over the net, passes were cautious, and serves almost every time would not get over the net. But as the real game began, Mikasa and Ymir were blocking and jumping with everything they had, Annie served way too hard, accidentally hitting Sasha on the head and making the girl fall with a loud thud, and Historia was making assists with Ymir. The atmosphere was thick with concentration and competitiveness from both parties. Those who watched their game might’ve thought the girls were giving their all. However, after a pretty shit serve from Annie, the ball was passed by Sasha who ducked down and with her forearms redirected the ball to Historia. The blonde little girl then bent her legs slightly, pushing the ball upwards towards virtually nobody. At that moment, Ymir ran and jumped, intercepting the ball, then smashed it over the net right into Mikasa's head. The raven stumbled on her feet and fell bottom first into the sand. With her body already full of sweat and remaining water from their previous bath, it should have not been a surprise when her whole figure became covered in sand. She grimaced and let out a sharp breath, then stood up to her feet, murder on her mind. Afterwards, Mikasa and Annie kept stealing points from their adversaries mercilessly, making Historia cry and Ymir throw empty threats their way. Sasha, being neutral, tried to calm both parties and bring them to a consensus, but to no avail. Not even three minutes later after the match had ended, Ymir, who had tried to calm down Historia, stood up and proposed another game, one in which she made sure she had the upper hand. Motivation and determination can do a lot of things to a person. For example, seeing her beloved cry was what fuelled the brunette to destroy Mikasa and Annie, intercepting their every ball over the net and smashing it to the floor, earning themselves plenty of points.
Next to them, the boys had also set up a football game. Jean was teamed up with Marlo and Bertholdt, while Eren was with Armin and Reiner. Connie took upon the role of being the referee, bringing his fingers to his mouth and failing miserably to whistle, only managing to produce wheezing sounds accompanied by saliva spraying anything within a two meters’ radius whenever there would be a fault or any other rule violation. Jean’s team was leading with Marlo as their goal getter and him defending flawlessly any attempt at scoring the other team made. The game carried on like this for ten minutes until he decided to glance in the girls’ direction. Sasha just bounced the ball over the net, the object spinning rapidly in the air and to the right side of Mikasa’s and Annie side, falling to the ground fast. Despite being almost impossible to catch, Mikasa ducked down at the last moment, intercepting it with her forearms in a platform pass in Annie’s direction, once again proving her inhumane abilities. Sure the rebound was impressive but what caught Jean’s attention was the way her spine bent, her hips arching up then landing with a thud on the ground, and most importantly, how the skin on her ass bounced slightly at the contact, deranging her Brazilian red bathing suit. At the moment Jean opened his mouth unconsciously in amazement. Eren, who had been watching the whole scene unfold, shot the football right in the fucker’s face, making his jaw and face scrunch in the opposite direction as the ball collided with his face. Jean let out a pained groan and stumbled to the ground.
“You fucking creep! Stop staring at my girlfriend. Also we just landed a goal on you.” Eren laughed then high fived with Reiner.
“I wasn’t looking! This game’s just so lame I intentionally distracted myself.” Jean sneered, rubbing at his face.
A little further in front of them, three absolutely lovely ladies were relaxing on their towels, working sun screen onto their skin with delicate rubbing movements. Hitch, being the palest out of all of them rubbed the most sun screen, claiming over and over again that she by no means could turn up to training looking like a crab at training the next day. Nanaba was chatting amicably with Petra. This was one of the first times they were able to talk outside of the Corps as they were on different squads, thus almost never having the time to do so. In the water in front of them, Eld, Gunther, and Auruo were trying to surf. But with the waves being so tame and low in height they just sat on their boards engaging in light conversation, each of them cracking a joke every now and then. Suddenly, something brushed again Auruo’s foot where it was resting on the sea’s floor. He shrieked in fear, disturbing his balance and falling with a big splash in the water. As he emerged from the water, he took a closer look and found a crab crawling across the sand. Auruo looked for a moment in the direction of the girls and with a mischievous smirk on his face, grabbed the creature carefully and headed in their direction. Poor Petra, oblivious of the danger that was approaching her in the form of her boyfriend, was resting on the towel on the verge of slumber when the cretin threw the creature on her. With an annoyed huff Petra opened her eyes, immediately focusing them on Auruo, whose gaze was directed at her stomach. Raising an eyebrow in question, she also directed her gaze there only to be found with the crab now crawling rapidly on her body. With a blood curling scream, Petra stood up and grabbed the poor creature, yanking it in the direction of his face. The crab, now completely confused and dizzy, grabbed the nearest object: Auruo’s ear, squeezing the piece of cartilage with an iron grip, drawing out a shriek of pain from the man. He grabbed the crab, freeing his ear from the excruciating pain, and threw it in a random direction. His plan had gone completely wrong. Without having time to recover from the abuse his ear received, his face was slapped by a very angry Petra.
“You moron, you completely and utterly stupid cretin of a man, how dare you?!” Petra shouted, grabbing his injured ear, making Auruo bite his tongue and drawing from the regretful man a tear that streamed down from his right eye right to the bottom of his jaw. The display made the red head soften slightly, “Don’t pull that shit ever again on me or I swear to god I’m gonna drop your sorry ass right then and there.” Auruo nodded earnestly then leaned and pressed a kiss to his girlfriend’s cheek.
Not only was the beach beautiful but it also had a wooden pontoon that extended far away into the water to regions where the depth was around 20 meters, right above a coral reef, much to Hange’s delight, who was frantically pulling their diving suit on then equipping themselves with the oxygen tank, goggles, and swimming fins. Moblit was trying to keep up with his partner in crime but found it impossible as he lacked the energy the other was seething with. Hange was first in the water, bitting on the breathing tube and drawing in a few breaths to test it, then put on her goggles with a slap, before submerging, not sparing a look behind to see if the other had followed them. With a sigh, poor Moblit jumped in the water, following them closely behind.
On the same pontoon, on the left side, Erwin, Levi, and Mike were fishing; rods in each of their hands. Levi didn’t find the activity at all appealing. It was just an excuse to hang around his husband. Was he being clingy? Yes, but he didn’t give a fuck. However, the other two seemed to be genuinely interested. They talked about all the kinds of fish they would like to catch, and made those awful dad jokes that just made Levi want to throw them both in the water. Suddenly, something tugged at his rod. He didn’t pay much attention but after a second, third, and fourth tug happened, he started working the reel, pulling whatever caught his lure. When he saw it wouldn’t budge, he pulled harder. By now, Erwin and Mike noticed that he had caught something and were watching him earnestly. As his struggle increased, Erwin started helping him pull but it still wouldn’t move. Mike decided to join and the three of them pulled, finally managing to pull the thing in their direction. The enormous fish emerged from the water with a high arched jump, landing directly on Levi, spreading his fluids all over his face. The man gag angrily before pushing it off then jumping in the water. After he rubbed his skin raw, the raven emerged from the water with a pissed off expression, only to see the thing’s lifeless body in Erwin’s hand. The fish had a pretty impressive size, but what softened Levi was not its size or his beautifully coloured body, all phosphorescent pink, greens, pinks, and purples, but Erwin’s pleased smile. Sighing, he climbed back on the pontoon and took the fish from Erwin’s hands and dropped it in the bucket.
“Filthy thing.”
-
As night finally settled over the beach, the group sat themselves around the bonfire Reiner and Bertholdt had managed to light up. Now huddled closely against his husband’s chest, Levi couldn’t help but feel completely at peace. Finally the danger had passed and they were now able to enjoy themselves fully without the fear of dying the next day. Mikasa and Eren were also cuddling together with a blanket Eren had brought, engulfed in their own world, engaging in hushed conversation accompanied by occasional kisses to the crowns of their heads, cheeks, and lips. Annie was laughing softly at something Armin was saying, running her hands through his hair, where he rested his head on her lap. Petra was telling a story to Eld, Gunther and Auruo, waving and motioning aggressively, her eyes wide open and the tone of her voice oscillating between loud and soft, depending on the events of the story. Hange was making observations about today’s research expedition or to put it simply: diving session, while Moblit was sketching furiously the kinds of marine life he saw today. The others were in their own small circle listening to Jean play the guitar, accompanied by Sasha’s and Hitch’s sweet voices, forming a calm and slow…love song? Judging by the warmth Levi’s stomach filled with, maybe it was a love song or a friendship one. One about hardship and finally finding relief and closure, whatever it was he could relate. As this song came to an end, Jean changed the chords and intonation signaling the beginning of a new song. Sasha and Hitch, apparently also familiar with it, began humming slowly at first, then chanting, then fully singing:
Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall was ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
You could have done anything, if you wanted
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with your memories
That hold your life together, like glue
You pull back the curtains
And the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying
Across a clear blue sky
This is the day, your life will surely change
This is the day, when things fall into place
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
This is the day (This is the day)
Your life will surely change
As the song came to a stop, Levi finally identified the feeling that kept invading his stomach: love. He loved all of those people, although he would never admit it. Finally being able to see them be truly happy and enjoying the remaining of their lives, no longer in fear of the titans, was making him incredibly happy. With a soft and content smile now grazing his, he spoke:
“I wish this day would last forever.”
“Summer’s just begun, darling.” Replied Erwin, nuzzling and kissing the crown of his lover’s head. They now had their whole lives ahead of them; a million more days to enjoy, sunrises and sunsets to watch, and appreciate the existence of those to which they were close.
Notes:
The song mentioned in this fic is The The - This is the day. Thank you so much for reading my fic, notes and comments are welcomed. I honestly love them so much, each of them deserved so much more but Isayama is the devil incarnate so he won't let us have that. However good thing we have our imaginations, otherwise I'm sure none of us would have been able to cope. Obviously, I do not own any of the art or the characters of the show. This was just what fuelled my inspiration. Thank you so much for taking the time to read it!! Also check me out on Archive of our own @logllady99

‘Two Down, One To Go’ - part 3
Hopefully I didn’t spend eight months burning the festival vods into my memory to end this badly. Tubbo was there for Tommy the night after he lost his second life, and he’d like to return the favour. After his temper gets the better of him, the last of the heroic Pogtopians must deal with the fallout and figure out what to do next. Featuring a little headcanon about how a person knows how many lives they have left.
part one | part two
---
After what felt like a century, it was quickly ended. Tommy was never going to win, that much was clear from the start, and it was clear in his movements and the growing fearful look in his eyes that he wanted it to end. Techno’s eyes met Tubbo’s for a split second as he dealt the final blow, a punch that landed square in the middle of Tommy’s face. There was a horrible crack, and Tommy slammed into the wall of the pit, blood gushing from his nose and down the white part of his shirt like a raging river. He tilted his head back as Techno advanced for the final time, pushing him away with the back of his forearm, pinning him against the wall, and it was unclear if the motion was to keep Tommy from attacking or from pitching forward. Their eyes met: Tommy’s were dilated with fear and pain, while Techno’s beady gaze was steely but triumphant. They seemed to come to some understanding (perhaps of what mortality is), for Tommy then shut his eyes and dropped his head. Techno stepped away, and the boy slumped to the ground.
With the ease and temperament of a cultivated warrior, the Blade straightened up, wiping at his face and smearing some of Tommy’s blood about his eyes. It was like he was wearing a crimson masquerade mask. For a few moments, there was again that uneasy silence: something about the Blade looking over the crowd kept them quiet, subjugated by his aura of intimidation. Then he looked away, and there was a small burst of noise from the crowd - like a firework - as they began to disperse, sensing the end of the dramatics.
The Blade put one hand on the side of the pit and hopped up with the grace of a dancer. Compared to Tommy, bruised and bloodied, you could hardly tell he’d been in a fight. He looked between the lingering scraps of the crowd, Wilbur waiting with a smile and his hands still in his pockets, Niki glowering at him, Tubbo looking at the floor by his feet and Tommy still slumped against the wall of the pit. One clear of the throat had all of them looking vaguely in his direction, but he was looking for Tommy’s attention. “So..?” “F*ck you man,” Tommy said through a mouthful of blood. The pigman just laughed, and it echoed around the cavern like thunder. “It stays in the pit.” And off he went, an arm lazily thrown across Wilbur’s shoulders as he painted pictures of a destroyed Manberg in the air with his hands and words, the crowd stalking them rife with gossip and gawking and money changing hands. Tubbo’s stomach dropped.
“What are we going to do?” Niki’s voice was soft, barely audible in the echoing noise. Tubbo leant his head back against one of the rough stone walls, the burns curling around his eyes stinging. There was a spluttering to his left: Tommy attempting to clear his mouth of the blood still trickling from his nostrils. “I don’t know.” He admitted, lurching forward to go and help Tommy. “No no, I’m coming up, don’t.” It took Tommy a couple tries to scramble out of the hole in the ground, one palm pressed ineffectively against his nose, still leaking down his face. “Bloody thing- hah-”
“C’mere-” Tubbo reached for his face, the edge of a smile creeping into his voice as Tommy tried to duck away, also ineffectually. “Nah I’m fine, trust me-” “Mate-” He’d managed to grab Tommy’s wrist, reeling him in and slinging his other arm about his waist to keep him there. He ignored the flare of pain from the burns on his chest and arms, instead grinning at the grimace Tommy was giving him as he pulled his hand away from his nose. “You’re doing a sh*t job with that nose bleed.” He pinched his nose, “Head back, big man.”
Tommy crossed his arms like a toddler throwing a tantrum and threw his head back. They waited in the growing quiet for an indeterminate amount of time, as the people became more settled, as Niki grew more restless next to them, as the pressure on Tubbo’s injuries ached more and more, until finally he couldn’t take the lancinating pain any longer, and sprang away from Tommy with a wobble, breathing heavily.
His eyes were screwed shut, as were his teeth gritted and fists balled up, nails digging back into raw flesh and bandages. Prime this hurts. He couldn’t seem to get enough air. He sank to his knees, retreating into Tommy’s jacket like a hedgehog or a turtle hiding beneath protective layers. His head throbbed, like someone was bashing on it with a hammer. Somewhere in the back of his mind - the logical part - he knew what was happening. The danger had passed, the fighting ended. His body had pulled down the protective wall it had raised since Schlatt had snatched the mic from him, and now he was feeling the full force of his injuries without the adrenaline rush to dull the pain. But the part of him that knew this, the part that was telling him he was fine wasn’t as loud as the headache trying to split his skull from the inside.
‘Get up,’ He fell back on his Manberg habitats: don’t cry around other people, don’t show weakness or injury. ‘Stop this now, and get up.’ He willed himself to stand, commanding one leg at a time up. He got one foot flat on the floor and almost stood on it, when another wave of nauseating agony swept over him and he pitched sideways, crumpling into a heap on the floor like a discarded suit blazer.
“Tubbo-” Roughly, he pushed himself off the floor, ignoring the stabbing sensation from his palms as he righted himself. ‘Stop this. Get up.’ “Woah- Tubbo, stop a second-” ‘Stop horsing around. For Prime’s sake, get up now.’ “Tubbo, wait- Holy Prime, stop moving, you’re hurting yourself.”
Tommy’s hands hesitantly grazed his sides, feeling through his borrowed jacket where the bandages got thinner as his eyes traced the rest of them covering most of Tubbo’s upper half where burns didn’t. “Aah- Sto- Stop-” Tubbo managed to get out, shaking his head quickly and falling away from Tommy, the movement making him feel lightheaded. The hands quickly retracted. “Knees?” He nodded, a lot slower than before. “Are- Are you okay? What hurts?” Tommy asked as he put his hands palm down on Tubbo’s lap. The older boy fought through a mental fog that threatened to cloud his vision. “E-Everything-” He exhaled quickly in something that might’ve been a laugh in another universe, staring down at Tommy’s hands on his knees and laying his own next to them. “My head- It feels like- like someone keeps hitting me and- m- my heart-” He shook violently, bandaged hands going to clutch his sides as if to hold himself together.
“Hey,” Tommy leaned closer so he was looking up to talk, his expression empathetic, a soft smile in his eyes as he spoke gently. “This happened before, remember? This happens when you lose a life. Remember last time, in the Camarvan? It passes. Just wait with me, alright?” “Everything hurts-” “I know,” He patted a steady rhythm into Tubbo's lap, one-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, like a waltz. Slowly, gradually, the agony receded, relinquishing his senses back to him, and he became aware that Niki had knelt by his side. "What can I do..?" Her mascara was running. Tommy gave her a soft smile, “I think… I think we should get out of this f*ckin’ cave. Get some air.”
“I think you need a change of clothes, big man.” Tubbo croaked, and they both looked down at Tommy’s shirt, stained rusty-red with the blood of multiple people. “Speak for yourself.” He said lightly, and Niki gave a breathy sigh. “I think we should burn it.” “His or mine?” “Both.” She said with a slight laugh, glancing behind her. “I could go find some for us now?” Tommy replied with a shake of the head. “Let’s just get out of here. Although-” He glanced at the axe by the side of the pit. “If we’re going up top we could do with a shield or two and some weapons, y’know, standard procedure.” He jumped to his feet and scurried away with a call of: “I’ll be right back!”
“Hey Tubbo,” He glanced up to see Niki smiling warmly, sitting cross-legged beside him. “Are you alright now?” “I’ve certainly been better.” Their half-hearted laughter flickered like candlelight. “So, um… What Tommy said about you being down a life… Is it true?”
His hand went to the tally under his collarbone leisurely, feeling through the bandages to the tiny, earth-shattering ridges beneath. Two. There were definitely two.
“Yep,” He breathed. “I am down to one canon life.” Stating the fact seemed to make it all the more real. He was the third of his friends to slip, and now he too walked the boundary between those that stay and those that have passed. “I’m so sorry.” She patted his leg. “If I’d have done something- if any of us had done anything-” “Don’t.” He caught her hand. “It’s not worth thinking about. Besides, the Blade has already made it clear that- that it wouldn’t have been worth it.” He tried to keep the bitterness out of his voice, but he felt it was warranted. Sure, military strategy dictated they’d done the right thing. Sure, they only lost one set of eyes on the inside, and not two. But it was like Tommy had said: it was getting less about the nations and the wars and the ideals by the day - at least to them. Of the three founding fathers of L’Manberg, they only had three lives between them now. Some resentful part of him wished they’d found the button. A front-row view of Manberg’s destruction would’ve been better than this.
“What would you have wanted, though?” Niki has this remarkable ability to see through people, almost as if she had heard his thoughts drifting to the button. He shut his eyes briefly, trying to think, and he was standing on the stage again, boxed in by yellow concrete and foes all at the same time. His eyes darted up to the rooftop of the NASA building, where he’d been only minutes ago. Wilbur and Tommy, highlighted figures in brown and red against the cheerful blue sky, each had a hand on their communicators, Tommy staring straight at him, mouth wide open in disbelief while Wilbur’s fingers flew furiously across the keyboard.
‘techno is on our side’
‘he wont hurt you’
“Wilbur said he wasn’t gonna hurt me.” He opened his eyes again, back in the ravine, though he didn’t doubt part of him would ever leave the concrete box. He looked Niki in the eyes, “I would’ve liked the truth, I think. I would’ve liked... to know.” She nodded, and the next time he blinked they were walking through the fields of a once-great nation together, anticipating frivolity and celebration to come, no matter how disagreeable the town they would be painting red. Ironic turn of phrase, to say the least. “This was really not how I expected today to go.” Niki’s laughter in response was sharp. “Definitely not.” She smiled sympathetically. “If it’s worth anything, I thought your speech was very good.”
He smiled indulgently, just in time for Tommy to reappear looking like a packhorse, weighed down with two shields and enough weapons to take back Manberg. None of these things were in his hands though: he was juggling three round grease paper packages, and Tubbo knew exactly what was coming when he stopped juggling and presented Niki with one, standing up straight for once and putting some false bravado into his voice.
“By the way Niki, welcome to Pogtopia. Here’s your dinner. A quick note, we’re not exactly equipped for high cuisine, so I’ll run you through how mealtimes work if you’re going to take your meals in the cafeteria-” He gestured at the bashed-up picnic benches they’d had to disassemble to get into the cave, and then reassemble to eat off of in the space next to the ‘kitchen’ in one very funny afternoon swearing at badly-translated instruction manuals. “Here’s the menu: since we were late back, we get yesterday’s leftovers, the emergency potato stockpile. Also, Technoblade does not seem to be in a chefing mood.” There was a round of awkward faces before he continued. “Tomorrow morning for breakfast: potato stew probably, hopefully not reheated. Tomorrow lunchtime: potato, maybe in a salad.” By now Niki was starting to figure out the pattern, the confusion on her face travelling through disgust to disappointment to resignation to acceptance. “Tomorrow for dinner: jacket potatoes- Hey, do you wanna guess what’s for breakfast the day after?” “Oh boy! I wonder…” They giggled, the first human sound to grace the cavern walls in too long. “I swear on Prime, I wouldn’t have asked for the pig’s assistance if I’d known he’d only cook us potatoes.” His eyes flicked momentarily to Tubbo, and his smile dropped. “As well as a couple other things, y’know…”
The air around them shimmered, or maybe that was just Tubbo’s vision. “We need to get out of here.” “Yeah.” Tommy’s response was quiet and laced with a foreign grief. They headed for the stairs together, Niki following attentively behind, and when their shoulders collided, their hands joined automatically in a softer hold than ever before.
“Did- Did you do that alone?” Tubbo asked Tommy as they climbed the stairs, part of a shuffling conga line of heroes and refugees and martyrs. He looked back for a moment, his eyelashes casting strange shadows down his cheeks from the swinging lamps next to them. “Do what?”
“What- What happened to me just now, and what happened in the Camarvan. When everything hurts and you feel like you’re going to die again.” Tommy’s somewhat guarded expression melted, a small smile tugging at his mouth. “Yeah.” He admitted in his softer tone, “At my house, before I came to tell everyone.” “Why?” Tommy turned away as they kept climbing. “We would’ve been there to help you, if- You didn’t even tell the others for ages though, did you?” He remembered a single terrifying moment in the middle of the biggest party they’d ever been to (thoroughly discounting today) when Tommy confided in him. “You didn’t want to worry everyone.” “I didn’t want their pity either.” He said, tone level.
“How did you do it?” “I… Don’t remember. I think I blacked out, at least functionally.”
Not only had his best friend handled, or tried to handle, the pain of losing a life alone, but he’d also attempted to silently carry that burden by himself. Just the thought of it put a weight over Tubbo’s heart. “I would’ve helped you.” He murmured as they took a left and escaped the crowd, heading towards another exit. “You did,” He said lightly. “All those nights you stopped me waking half the nation? That counts.” They crossed the floor of the small chamber at the top of the spiral staircase, and Tubbo suddenly dropped Tommy’s hand and stopped to open the enderchest against the wall. With careful hands he drew out the record with the red label and a smile from Tommy.
“That’s the real one, isn’t it?”  Tubbo looked between his two companions. “Anyone got a jukebox?” They didn’t have their bench, but no matter where in the world you are banished to, you’ll always have the sun.
Injured and weary, yet stubbornly surviving still, the three of them climbed the steps to the sky and caught enough of the last spillage of heaven for the day that they could fit in a full song. And by the last light, they had planned a plot. Of revolt and rebellion. Such familiar words.
And with the first stars rising as their witnesses, they hatched a smaller plan. A little catharsis, if you will.
---
The sky at dusk was gorgeous as the sun gradually sank out of sight. Tubbo wished he could enjoy it, but the ache in his being and his head and his heart was too much. “Are you cold?” He shook his head, but Tommy put his arms around him anyway. He was so careful, draping them where he knew there were no bandages; back, shoulder, standing just behind him and placing his head right next to Tubbo’s. Blocks turned in the jukebox before them, its red label swirling in the low light like a spinning skirt as the melody played for all the men and the beasts and the trees that came to listen.
Out of the blue, Tommy whispered in his ear: “Can I make you a promise I can’t keep?” “I- Yeah, sure.” If he hadn’t been so tired, he might’ve turned his head to see what Tommy was up to. All he knew was that his best friend had leant closer and squeezed his sides warmly. Tubbo ignored the slight painful twinge. “I promise-” He whispered, the words so soft they got lost in the song. “-to keep you safe, Tubso.” “Oh.” “I promise, as long as I live, to be there, to stand between you and Techno, or Eret, or Schlatt or Dream or Wilbur or- or Death him-bloody-self, and I promise to say ‘No you may f*ckin’ not hurt him’ and-” “Okay, I get it-” “-and I’ll f*ckin’ fight them, all of them if I have to.” “I’m fine Tommy, you don’t have to be all sappy for me.”
“It’s true.” And though he hadn’t moved that whole time, nor had his tone changed, Tommy’s arms suddenly felt a lot safer to be in. “No matter what happens, whether Techno is on our side or not, whether we get Wilbur back or get more people on our side or not or whatever, it’s me and you - and Niki - together against- against the world. And I mean that.”
Like a blanket straightened over a bed, a small silence settled over them as the last signs of the sun vanished behind the next hill. “Swear it,” Tubbo’s voice was barely above a breath. “On something important.” He couldn’t explain his sudden change of heart, but maybe the way his limbs shook with leftover adrenaline and fatigue and fear could. ���I- I swear it on the discs. Me and you, ‘till the ends of the Earth.” “Always those discs.” He couldn’t keep the slightest hint of mockery out of his voice, but Tommy just hummed in disagreement. “If I swore it on the safety of the most precious thing, it wouldn’t be a promise, it’d be a paradox.”
By the time the meaning of his words dawned on Tubbo, Niki had reappeared, and Tommy let go out of his shoulders, a knowing smile gracing his features as he purposely avoided Tubbo’s scrutiny. “Had trouble finding it?” “No, actually.” She took a few deep breaths before continuing. “You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a lighter in there.” Tommy and Tubbo shared a look equal parts bemusement and consternation. “Well come on then, the sun’s about to have gone down and I don’t know about you, but it’s getting a bit f*ckin’ cold out here.” “I think that’s because you’re only wearing a t-shirt, Tommy.” Niki teased, while the boy just shot her back an unimpressed look. “Yeah, well,” He turned to look at Tubbo, ruffling his hair somewhat roughly. “I lost my jacket like an hour ago.”
They tittered in tandem until Niki cleared her throat. “Who’s gonna do the honours?” His companions then immediately answered her question by looking to Tubbo. The edges of his lips curved upwards. “Can someone else hold it for me?” “I’ll get it-” “No, let me.” Tommy squinted at Niki.  “I think least injured should do it, just in case.” She reasoned. “Didn’t you get shot on the way out of Manberg?” “Didn’t you fight an entire crowd in Manberg by yourself?” “That’s a bit stupid,” Tubbo interjected. “I was trying to find you.” Tommy shrugged. “Okay, yeah, you hold it.”
Straightening her posture, Niki pressed the lighter into Tubbo’s hands and then held up the jacket. It was Tubbo’s Manberg Secretary of State uniform, jet black and singed and soaked-through in places. His thumb played with the catch over the hood of the lighter. “Just- What are we gonna do with it when it’s… on fire, y’know?” Both of his fellows stared blankly at each other. “One second.” Tommy took two steps backwards and disappeared over the ledge, and Tubbo skittered forward with half a laugh to see that he’d hopped down to borrow some water from the nearest pond. “Love the forward planning skills we got here.”
Rather comically, it took Tommy about a minute to lug the bucket of water back up the hill. “We will have no forest fires tonight.” And the three of them giggled a bit more. “Okay,” Niki said, wiping at the corner of her eye. “Ready?”
It took more force than usual for Tubbo to get the lighter to work, and once the flame appeared he snatched his fingers away, conscious of the flammability of his bandages. Niki held the blazer before her, arm high in the air, and Tubbo reached out, touching the end of the lighter to the edge of one of the sleeves. At first, nothing happened, and then, the jacket caught. Abruptly, Niki was forced to let go of the flaming piece of clothing as the fire raced up and across it in seconds. “Holy sh*t.” She whispered. “F*cking sh*t indeed.” Tommy tugged Tubbo back towards him as the blazer dropped into the wind, flapping downhill as it dissipated into dark ash. “I was not expecting that.” “Probably the amount of alcohol soaked into the fabric,” Tubbo said with disdain. “Good f*cking riddance, Manberg.” “YEAH!” His friends cheered together, and he watched as the fire consumed the uniform he’d despised so much. The flag on the left lapel seemed to glow as the flames ate away at it, and that made them three out of three for burning a Manberg flag.
“I heard there was a special place,” Tubbo and Niki looked at Tommy with incredulity as he began to sing the anthem, but there was a certain mischievous twinkle in his eyes as he sang, and they joined in, the familiar words and melody both a comfort and a thorn. “Where men could go and emancipate, The brutality, and the tyranny of their rulers,” Tommy held his hands up, silencing the other two as he grinned. “Well this place is real, don’t be afraid, With Tubbo-” He pointed to each of them in turn. “Tommy, Niki, F*CK TECHNOBLADE-!”
The three of them fell about laughing. “You should do it louder Tommy, I don’t think he heard you-” Niki said between the hooting emanating from a small crowd gathered at the Pogtopia tower and the hysterical laughter of her comrades. His shouts echoed throughout the little valley they overlooked, and they soon resumed the tune, joined by members of the rebellion across the land, humming and singing along whether they were allowed or not. To be a traitor is not a respectable thing, but sometimes it is better to follow one’s heart than one’s leader.
“It’s a very big and not blown up L’Manberg!” It was as if the land itself was singing, and Tubbo hoped they could hear this chorus back in Manberg. “For L’Manberg!” For those that were unsure, that needed to hear that paradise had existed and could again. “For L’Manberg!” For those that were still left behind, keeping their heads down and staying out of trouble, especially after tonight. Tubbo tried to inject as much panache into his voice as he could, partially for them, for those that were rightfully too afraid and unable to sing along. But mostly because he wanted JSchlatt to hear him. “For L’Manberg!” He wanted to walk through the nation he’d served for so long, waving the correct flag, singing their song, and he wanted especially to scare the sh*t out of that tyrant. I survived, he wanted to say, standing at the other end of the trigger. I survived, and I’m leading the choir, and we’re going to have our land back thank you very much, no matter how many tallies on our charts. “For L’Maaaaaanberg!”
For L’Manberg, and for everything it stood for. Tubbo, like his friends, is down to his final life, and he’s sick of playing nice.

Wasn't there a post a while back about someone who casually gave a person their coat back and ended up Selkie married?

                                                ⁂
Yamada Hizashi liked to think of himself as a remarkably unbothered teenager who didn’t often feel self-conscious when it came to his day-to-day life. Why would he, after all, when he was confident in himself, his abilities, and who he was and what he could do? He was a selkie who attended U.A. -- the best school in the country for those of magical and mythical descent. 
While U.A. wasn’t the only school, it was by far the most popular one, as well as one of the few who helped students control and harness their powers instead of just teaching them how to hide them away. Hizashi had made it into the school on his own merits, too, even with his… unique family heritage. He had nothing whatsoever to be ashamed or embarrassed about. 
At least, he thought he didn’t, until he had gained a best friend in the form of Kayama Nemuri, a classmate and succubus who enjoyed seducing people way too much and had no filter whatsoever when it came to destroying his hopes and dreams.  
“Seriously, Yamada, you’re such an idiot.” As it was, Kayama was once again yelling at him as they ate lunch, Hizashi picking at this food more than actually eating it. “You can’t just go around dropping your coat everywhere and hoping someone will find it and enter into some magical true love spell with you!” 
“Okay, first of all, that is not how it works at all.” Hizashi stabbed viciously at one of his sushi rolls, wishing he could throw it at Kayama’s head. He would if he knew she wouldn’t just try to kill him for it. “And besides, it’s not like I lost my coat or dropped it. I just… strategically draped it somewhere where someone was likely to see it and return it.” 
“Dumbass,” Kayama snorted, stealing one of his sushi rolls for herself. “You’re a selkie. You need your coat to use your most basic powers. The teachers are gonna keep getting pissed at you if you keep ‘draping it’ somewhere and not having it for classes.” 
Hizashi huffed, looking down at the spotted, fur seal coat that he had tossed across his legs after giving up hope for the day. It seemed to be radiating as much defeat as Hizashi felt. “Well, then, excuse me for trying to find my true love.” 
“Hey, did I ever say there was anything wrong with trying to find your true love or mate or whatever?” Kayama looked insulted, pointing her chopsticks at him with a scowl. “I am in full support of true, absolute love, but in your case your coat just magic mind controls whoever picks it up-”
“It does not!” Hizashi snapped, fearing his glare looked more like an upset pout than anything else. Kayama’s smirk certainly seemed to make it seem like he was pouting rather than glaring. “That’s not how selkies -- or selkie magic -- works. Yeah, sure, there are stories about it, but a selkie’s coat can’t be stolen.”
“Really?” Kayama blinked, looking surprised before she set down her chopsticks and gave him her full attention. While anyone else would be a babbling idiot at having the full attention of a succubus -- even a teenage one -- Hizashi only rolled his eyes. “Alright, then, explain it to me. Why do you keep leaving your coat around like that?” 
“It’s… We can give our coats to other people to hold onto, if we choose to, but only a few people can touch a selkie’s coat without experiencing extreme pain.” Hizashi pursed his lips, crossing his arms as he thought back to when he had first been told about what having his coat really meant. “I think Mom described it like lightning if you touch a selkie’s coat without their permission and aren’t meant for it.” 
“Alright, magical matchmaking coat. I’m with you so far,” Kayama laughed, which, alright. That was a lot better than her mocking him or accusing his coat of magical mind control. “So only you and your ‘true love’ can pick up the coat without feeling that pain?”
“And the parents of the selkie,” Hizashi put in. “Sometimes siblings, but only close siblings, I think, and only when they’re young. But, yeah, it’s- It’s destiny. Our coats… They’re like a part of our hearts.” A part off their heart and a piece of their soul; that was how their coats worked.
Hizashi dropped his hands to run through the fur of his coat, feeling warmth and safety and home as he closed his eyes and took the feeling in for a moment. He couldn’t help but to remember the stories his Mom had told him about what would happen when the one he was destined to be with picked up his coat. 
It wouldn’t just be warmth and safety, but it would be fierce devotion, and understanding, and the knowledge that this person, whoever they were, would want to stay by his side; no matter what. It wasn’t ensnaring someone, but it was finding the one person that he knew he would be able to love with no fear or doubt. 
Looking back up at Kayama, Hizashi lowered his voice to something more serious, “It’s not just ‘true love’ or ‘my mate’ it’s…” Hizashi trailed off, fingers digging into his coat more tightly. “It’s the one person who will never doubt me, or leave me, and always stick by me for me, no matter… no matter who I am.” 
There was a moment of silence, Kayama clearing her throat and patting his shoulder lightly, “Well, hey, then you’re in the perfect place to be looking, don’t you think? U.A. is full of cute, sweet little nerds who would love to be your one true love. Why, I bet the next bubbly-eyed, gap-toothed cutie that we see will be your true love, no doubt about it.” 
“You think so?” Hizashi knew he sounded weak -- vulnerable -- but he couldn’t stop himself from asking the question. Kayama could be a lot, but she was also one of the few he could call an honest friend. She knew what it would mean to him to have more of those, even if she joked about it. 
“Absolutely,” Kayama said sincerely, giving him a small smile. “Have a little more faith, lover-boy. You’ll find your true love before you know it.” 
It was just what Hizashi wanted to hear and believe in more than anything else. 
It was also, he knew, something that wasn’t likely to happen soon. 
Not considering who he was. 
Not at U.A. 
“Well, hey, if it isn’t our favorite little mutt.” Hizashi grunted as his back hit the wall hard enough to force him to bite back a yelp of pain, instead putting on his best glare. “Aw, what’s the matter, mutt? Aren’t you happy to see us?”
“Yeah, c’mon, Yamada, isn’t it nice to finally have someone who’ll talk back to you?” The three who had him surrounded were all upperclassmen who Hizashi had never bothered to learn the names of. They were also complete and utter assholes who believed he didn’t deserve a place in U.A. Well, not many did, but most chose to at least not say anything about it. “Not many want to talk to a siren, after all.” 
“Hey, now,” one of them frowned mockingly, voice ‘sympathetic.’ “He’s only half siren, you know.” The look aimed at him turned cruel, but it was nothing Hizashi hadn’t seen directed at him before. “Then again, considering the other half is some dopey little fuck who can barely do anything, I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.”
They all laughed, as if something hilarious was said, Hizashi gritting his teeth as he glared down the one holding him, growling out a quiet, “Let me go.”
“Oh! The mutt has some balls!” With that he was twisted around and thrown to the floor, Hizashi swearing as he felt a jolting pain from his wrist where he caught himself as his coat slid off his shoulders and bunched around his arms, tangling and trapping him on the floor. “Come on then, mutt. You gonna finally fight back for once?” 
The laughter started up again, one of them grinning widely, “Think he will? If he fights back, we can get him kicked out so fast. What’d that look like to the parents, you think, a siren mutt attacking a bunch of kids?”
“I think it’d look pretty bad,” the obvious leader said, taking a step forward. Before Hizashi could panic and try to scramble away he, and the other three it looked like, were all startled by the black cat standing in front of Hizashi and giving a warbling cry. “The fuck is this?” 
The cat looked like any other cat at first glance, but a closer look screamed magic. Hizashi doubted it was a shapeshifter student, since shifting wasn’t allowed in the halls, but a familiar, maybe? He didn’t know any kids with a cat familiar, though- 
“Oh? That’s unfortunate.” A new voice echoed down the halls, the bullies whirling around in surprise while Hizashi leaned to the side to peek around them. Half a dozen feet away was a kid he had never seen before, maybe a first year or possibly even a second year like him. His hair was long, shaggy, and black as the cat in front of Hizashi, red eyes piercingly looking between each and every one of them as a sharp smile climbed up his face. “Looks like a black cat crossed your path.” 
“Yeah? Is that a fucking threat?” Jeez, how unoriginal. Hizashi couldn’t believe these were the bullies he got stuck with in the drama that was his life. Couldn’t he have gotten tormented by someone with at least two brain cells? “Doesn’t seem like you know how things work around here.”
“Really? Seems just like any other school to me,” the kid drawled, eyes flicking over to once more look at Hizashi. “A bunch of self-entitled kids with rich, demanding parents with expectations that can’t be met, so instead they take it out on whoever makes the easiest punching bag.” 
Damn. That was harsh, but, well, it wasn’t exactly untrue. Stigma worked against Hizashi just enough that anything blamed on him would usually be believed. Looking back at the cat, Hizashi blinked at seeing the cat staring back at him with equally red eyes. A soft purr left the cat a moment later and Hizashi had to resist the urge to coo and draw attention to himself. 
“-if you don’t get the fuck out of here, kid.” Ah, verbal threats. So effective and witty, truly. The new guy, whoever he was, seemed to think the same, giving a snort of laughter. 
“Am I supposed to be scared?” That smile was nothing except threatening, not even fading in the slightest when the main leader of the trio raised his hand, palm extended outwards, with a smirk. Hizashi didn’t bother hiding his wince as, while he didn’t know what the kid was exactly, he knew he had fire powers. He had felt them far too many times to not know how much they could hurt.
Whoever this new guy was, Hizashi made a note to find him and try to help heal his burns after he ran off -- except he wasn’t running off. He wasn’t getting burned, either. He was just staring at the bully in front of him, smile growing while the bully looked more and more terrified as the seconds passed. 
There were no streaks of flashing fire and there was no smell of burning air and ash. There was only a terrified face and gleeful red eyes followed by a quiet, “I’ll ask you again. Is that all?”
Just like that the trio of assholes were running off and disappearing around the corner, Hizashi not too surprised by their reactions. He’d be pretty terrified, too, if he had someone angry at him that could block his powers. Actually, he might still end up being terrified, depending on how the kid felt about mutts. 
Hesitant in looking back at him, Hizashi frowned to himself as he noticed the boy had gray eyes instead of the red ones that he swore he had seen. Maybe that was a part of his power- “You alright?”
“Huh? Oh-! Yeah.” Hizashi raced to stand up, tripping and struggling over his coat before he managed to get himself free. “Sorry- Sorry, uh, yeah- Thanks, I mean. For, um… helping.” Hizashi tried to keep his head up instead of turning around and slamming his face into the wall like he so desperately wanted to do. 
“Good to hear,” the kid laughed, a smile twitching on his lips as his cat -- familiar? -- raced over and up his side before curling around his shoulders. “Aizawa Shouta. I just started here.” 
“Hell of an entrance,” Hizashi laughed, wincing at how breathless and smitten he sounded -- which he shouldn’t. The guy was just being nice- Aizawa Shouta was being nice. “I- Yamada. Yamada Hizashi.” 
Clearing his throat, Hizashi fumbled over his words for a few moments before nervously approaching Aizawa and skirting around him, “I’ll just, uh, go. You know. To class. And stuff.” He was a disaster. Why was Hizashi allowed to exist around others? He was half-siren and the only thing he could charm were the neighborhood cats when he fed them tuna!
“Yamada.” Freezing in his steps, Hizashi hesitantly looked behind him, eyes going wide as he saw Aizawa heading towards his coat which he had stupidly left on the floor after standing up and letting it slip off him. Before he could even open his mouth to warn Aizawa to not touch it, he was bending down and picking it up and… 
His mom hadn’t even begun to explain the feelings of the right person touching his coat. It was warmth and safety, but it was as if every good feeling at once was swirling through him, heady and overwhelming and enough to take his breath away. It was every bad feeling he had ever had brushed away, wiped clean from his mind like they had never existed in the first place. 
It was peace and the simplicity of being and sand spilling between his toes and ocean water lapping at his feet and salt sharp and bitter on the tip of his tongue and a fire roaring away in a hearth and the moon rising far across the waves where the sun had disappeared long ago.
It was a shy, soft smile with fingers that brushed against his own as his coat his skin his heart his soul was given back to him with such care and concern. It was Aizawa Shouta, his husband his true love his mate his friend, greeting him with a soft, “It was nice to meet you.” 
“Ye- Yeah… You, too.” Hizashi watched as Aizawa gave him another smile before walking past him down the hall. Hizashi didn’t waste a heartbeat before he was ripping his phone out and pulling up Kayama’s number, texting her desperately and they needed to go ring shopping as soon as school let out because he had just met his husband and his husband was amazing and deserved the best ring that Hizashi’s, admittedly, small allowance could buy. 
Looking up from where Kayama was texting him and calling him an idiot, Hizashi felt his heart skip half a dozen beats as his husband, starting to round the corner, turned to look back at him. When he saw Hizashi looking, he gave him another small smile and a little half-wave before he disappeared, and, yeah… 
Hizashi was so in love.

‘one man army.’ / hc *
Tumblr media
I actually wanted to talk about Yuri’s famous mystic arte, ‘Savage Wolf Fury.’ Tales of Crestoria animated it even more beautifully than in the game...and even more terrifyingly right here. (x)
Tumblr media
I’m going to be breaking it down because honestly, if you think Yuri is a pushover or ‘weaker’ in a fight just because he is a trope-breaking protagonist that doesn’t actually HAVE any powers? This...really hits home he doesn’t need them. Which means he’s terrifying to even consider facing.  He’s a hero for sure, but a chaotic-neutral hero. Which roughly would put him in the anti-hero trope save... I really hesitate to put a ground-breaking male JRPG protag in really any trope? He’s actually way more benevolent than you’d think considering he took up vigilantism for the oppressed, he didn’t do it to be a martyr but that is a testament to willing to make sacrifices, not self-gain. 
The video literally has him talking about cleaving apart darkness, which to him is corruption, evil and injustice, and then ignoring the damage input in this, as his combos actually rise to insane numbers if you build him right in the latest Tales addition? He’s absolutely a monster.
For one, the man is absolutely merciless in his strikes. Not only is he coming full force at his target from all directions, he’s leaving absolutely no time for defense, and every hit hits like a ten ton hammer that only increases the longer he has you. That’s a collective of more than twenty strikes accumulating into even more powerful hits that leave not only the enemy unable to even move, but he’s watching a blur of both speed, raw power and precision. There’s a reason one of his titles can be ‘Legendary Swordsman.’
Basically there’s nothing the person under the attack can do about it but have equally high defenses / tank levels as Yuri. Which by the way, in this game for example it really hits home even in how they’ve set him up how absolutely terrifying an opponent Yuri would be to someone he’s either pursuing for vigilantism / true justice or an opponent in a spar. 
There’s no escaping him once he initiates this. In Crestoria, he literally is the last to die in my party, the one with the highest defenses and health, and he isn’t even maxed out yet. The fact that Yuri is a literal tank and also a fast, heavy-hitter that leaves no room for defensive retaliation makes him a living hell to a foe because there’s no exit point for you. You just have to stand as he completely and utterly encircles you.
Savage Wolf Fury is an insight into Yuri himself. Once he pursues something, he does not let it go until you or the other are dead and this ONLY applies to the unjust / evil and dangers to those he cares about. 
To quote Flynn Scifo, his best pal, “ Yuri is so single minded on protecting others. But I worry he’ll take it too far. . .  “ You’re better off asking / begging Yuri to stop or if you’ve done evil, turn yourself in than have a chance of surviving him once he focuses on you. The attack arte / overlimit / limit break whatever you call it, and Yuri’s attack style can only be called not just a dance of swords... it’s an onslaught. 
Once he initiates this attack its nigh impossible to avoid or escape Yuri’s barrage, and just like his sense of justice and unflinchingly pure morals? You won’t escape him either in anything else unless you’re his equal or higher in skill and frankly Yuri is constantly improving. The terrifying thing about Yuri Lowell is that he does not quit, nor does he give up the fight. 
He will fight until he or you passes out. He will pursue his enemies until he or them are dead, and he’ll keep chasing, and chasing and chasing. 
Is he a benevolent, great person for his human flaws? Too much for his own good, because the sacrifice to choose the job ‘no one wants’ aka being a vigilante / outlaw who genuinely is saving people through his actions fully aware he’s sacrificing his own safety and future? No person who was awful would do that and have no self-gain planned for it. To his enemies and those who disturb the peace where Flynn’s knights or the Empire’s laws can’t reach?
He’s a living nightmare to people who aren’t for the good of others.
One scene in Vesperia he literally kicks the bed of a man who is responsible for human trafficking and overworking laborers to death in a scam in complete silence, then stalks him in silence until he’s cornered.  He is the bump in the night as much as the light in the dark that burns the eyes of the corrupt and makes them honestly? Beg incoherently like children in the face of true, pure, free justice that has no bias, only unwavering conviction.
 He does not relent in his pursuits to bring about justice and safety for people who are being oppressed, abused, or suffering, innocent, elderly, children, anyone who is crying for help. Law or no law prohibiting him. 
Savage Wolf Fury even the commentary in it, is a perfect manifestation of both Yuri’s freakishly adaptable fighting style, and the fact that you can’t avoid it. It is his manifesto really of his terrifying combat ability that only grows as he seeks more challenges to better himself, as the man loves challenges, not humiliating.
Just as in his pursuit of enacting and enforcing justice, in protecting and punishing the unjust, in destroying evil... you cannot run from Yuri. 
Savage Wolf Fury’s imagery is perfect symbolism of what should happen if you cross him or are someone that is harming the innocent. It’s a natural disaster, an onslaught, a storm at its worst, a one-man army,
... and there is absolutely no escape.

Kirby and the Big Race in Dream Land! Chapter 6
Tumblr media
At the hilltop: Having finished singing cheerfully, not a single person was standing by the time Kirby looked about. “......Huh?” Looking at the athletes and the staffs fallen face down, Kirby was shocked. “Why is everyone sleeping? Maybe it’s......”
Kirby realized suddenly and laid his hands in his mouth. “Was my song way too moving!? What should I do!? Golly, I was completely captivated by my singing, and......sorry, everyone!” Kirby tries to shake them awake one at a time, but no one is quite coming around. “What should I do......” Kirby was at a loss, but at that moment, Warp Star, which was parked in the root of a tree, happened to grab his attention. “That’s right, the race is still ongoing......” The radiance of Warp Star flared up his will to fight. “I gotta go. Even if it’s just me alone!” Jumping on the Warp Star with a tense look, Kirby jauntily descended down the hill.
Soon after Kirby left: Kizario awoke at last. He was in a stupor for a while, but recalled what happened prior to fainting and quickly came to his senses. “Pheeew......good grief, what an absurd voice that was......but it went well. A voice like that must’ve reached all across Dream Land. By now, even “that thing” would......right, can’t just sit here like this!” Kizario sprang up and shook the athletes around him. “Wake up, everyone! Rise and shine! The race hasn’t ended yet!” “Uuuu......uhh......ughh......” The athletes rose up even while having nightmares. Waking up the collapsed staff, Kizario spoke up. “Looks like Kirby went a step ahead. Don’t lag behind, you all. Keep going!” Kizario jumped onto a motor vehicle for staff use. The staff keeps on complaining. “Wha......but we’re still woozy here.” “Gee whiz, young master is way too rough in handling others.” “Shh. He can hear you. We need to call him Kiza-P” “What’s so Kiza-P about him!? He can’t even make a proper TV show......” “I said to shut up. We’re dead meat if we disobey him.” The staff went to their stations while talking in a low voice. As luck would have it, the cameras and the microphones were only damaged slightly. Being proficient, the staff repaired them right away and reloaded them on the motor vehicle for staff. In the meantime, the athletes also board their vehicles in succession and descend down the hill. Before long, the hilltop was left with just a few staff and became quiet Just then; With rattle, rattle, rattle......a small green machine came up while letting out a calm noise. It is Waddle Dee’s Wheelie Scooter. “Huh? You’re the athlete that came last in the super spicy checkpoint just now, right?” Said one of the staff that remained to clean up after them. “Yes, I’m still in last. What should I do for this checkpoint?” “What are ya saying. You’re so late! Everyone left already.” “So......am I......disqualified?” Waddle Dee was on the verge of crying. Seeing his face, they appeared to feel sorry for him. The staff softened their voice. “Well, it’s fine. You went over the time limit, but we’ll extend it for you.” “T-Thank you so much! What should I do here......” “You sing. There’s a music set piece, and you see......the song goes like this.” The staff hums the melody from their vague recollection. Waddle Dee followed them clumsily. “Yes, yes, all good. Alrighty, you pass.” “Thank you so much!” “Best of luck!” Once again, with rattle, rattle, rattle......Wheelie Scooter went down the hill at a slow speed with Waddle Dee on board.
”Daddy, Daddy look! The TV is back again!” At a certain very ordinary household, a boy was shouting in a merry voice. Having gone back to his polishing his golf club, his father also came in front of the TV. “Oh, it really is. I can see the continuation of the race.” “A lot of Machines are running. Which one’s in the lead?” “Beats me......I can’t tell with this screen.” “It’s ’cause the commentator isn’t doing his work!” “Yeah, you’re right. That announcer is a total failure for not even telling us the ranking!” The father and son unanimously badmouthed the announcer on-the-scene. Although, needless to say, that was out of the question for Walky, the one in charge of the commentating as of right now-.
Kirby was the one running in the lead. “Wow, so fast!” The Warp Star adjusts the speed and direction as Kirby wishes and flies in the air. It looked as if Kirby and the Warp Star became one in body and soul. “Feels so nice......it feels like I can fly anywhere!” It feels so refreshing. It seems like he forgot all about the race. He wants to fly all over Dream Land like this. Right when he was about to have such feelings. “Whoooooooaaa!?” Out of nowhere, something huge fell in front of Kirby with a hysteric voice. Kirby hits the break in a hurry. The Warp Star stopped moving even as it slides. “Waahh, that’s dangerous! You can’t just rush out all of a sudden!” Yelled Kirby, but the thing that fell abruptly got up and let out a resentful voice. “Kiiiiiiiir......byyyyyyy......!” “......Huh? Mr. Frosty......?” Thanks to Kirby inhaling him, Mr. Frosty couldn’t even get ice and had to look for a lake. He found a lake along the way and managed to slake his thirst somehow. But his grudge of being inhaled by Kirby isn’t gone. His mood has been ruined right when he was enjoying the race all well. “Unforgivaaaaaaaable!” Mr. Frosty hurled lumps of ice at Kirby.
Tumblr media
“Ahh, that’s dangerous!” Kirby avoided by turning the Warp Star around. Mr. Frosty’s attacks aren't stopping. The masses of ice are coming one after another. “Wah, wah! I said it’s dangerous!” Kirby steered the Warp Star for dear life, but couldn*t avoid them all. A large chunk of ice hits him directly. A portion of the Warp Star breaks and spews smoke. It stops sparkling as he watches. The Warp Star crashed on the grass and came to a halt. “Wahh, it broke!” Kirby was aghast and jumped down from the Warp Star. “That was awful, Mr. Frosty!” “Who’s the awful one!?” Mr. Frosty’s attacks still aren’t stopping. He hurls the chunks of ice one after another. “Ahh! I said it hurts!!” Screamed Kirby, struck by the ice. His Copy Ability fell off right at that moment. “......Huh?” Kirby was pop-eyed in amazement. He too had completely forgotten that he inhaled Walky. Having reverted back to normal, Walky rolled on the grass from all the momentum. “Pheww......phew......aah......ah? Where am I......?” Walky looked around and shouted loudly. “What about the race!? What happened to the race!?” “Uhh......ahh......well......” “Kirby! Now you’ve done it! The show is ruined because of you......!” “S-Sorry.” “I can’t just sit here and do nothing! I’ve got to get back to the commentary!” Walky turned to Mr. Frosty. “Give me a ride, Mr. Frosty.” “Mm?” “We’ll look for the other athletes! I am to continue the commentary!” Walky jumped on Slick Star as he said. With Mr. Frosty and Walky on board, Slick Star started dashing at a ferocious speed. Having been left behind, Kirby complained in a loud voice. “Wait up! Take me too!!” Of course, the two didn’t give him any ears. Kirby got pulled ahead and was left all alone. “Ah......ahh......they left.” Kirby was down in the mouth and turned to his Warp Star. A corner of the star-shape is broken and sputtering smokes. The mysterious glitter has vanished and could only be seen as a mere yellow lump. “What should I do......I can’t run with this......” Kirby was nonplussed and examined the Warp Star. Even if he taps it, or rubs it, it doesn’t appear to get restored. The Warp Star has completely lost its power. “I can’t go back to the race anymore......” It was when Kirby mumbled dejectedly. A suspicious figure came along from the other side of the road. It is a man of a small build whose whole body is black from top to bottom. With a crusty look, he appears to be in a rush for some reason. Kirby stood on tiptoes and raised his hands. “Heey! Heey! Waait!” “......Hm.” Noticing Kirby, the completely black man paused. “What is it, sir?” “I’m Kirby! Who’re you, grandpa?” “I am......no, I am not someone to give out names. Has something happened?” “Uh-huh. I’m in a pickle, you see. This vehicle has been destroyed!” Kirby pointed to the Warp Star. The full-black man knitted his eyebrows. “Oh, how unfortunate. Was it a road accident?” “Would you be able to repair it somehow?” The full-black man groaned with a “Hmm.” “I am no repairman. I have no tools or so with me to repair the Machine. You have no choice but to take it to a factory for something like this.” “......You’re right.” Kirby hung his hands. Seeing him, the completely black man said. “You seem to be in a very tight spot, sir.” “......Yup.” “Hmm......then......would you be fine with makeshift measures?” “Huh?” “I do not really wish to use a power like this, but as it goes against my creed to abandon a troubled sir......” It was when the man was about to slowly raise both his hands. “Hold it!” A sharp voice sounded. It’s Meta Knight. He leapt before the full-black man with his sword drawn. “Ah, Meta Knight!” “Goodness......it is you sir again. Please put away that dangerous weapon.” “Kirby, are you alright?” Standing ready with his sword alertly, Meta Knight glared at the man. Kirby said in surprise. “What’s wrong, Meta Knight? It’s dangerous; put away your sword.” “Kirby......” “This old guy was about to repair the Warp Star for me right now.” “......Repair?” Meta Knight was confused and lowered his sword. “What do you mean? I was convinced that this man attacked you and destroyed the Warp Star......” “No~. This old guy isn’t a bad person!” The man nodded in contentment. “It is as the pink boy says. I am no evildoer.”
Tumblr media
”Then why were you concealing yourself in secret and searching for something? What is your goal?” “It’s disgraceful to say in secret. Well, it would be natural for you to think like that. I am merely afraid of attracting the attention of others.” “Why did you avoid being seen? Aren’t you an associate of Kizario?” “It would be ungracious to say that I am his associate. I am only......”
Aside from Kirby, the athletes, the TV staff, and Kizario were moving through the meadows in one group. Having boarded himself on a vehicle for staff, Kizario shouts through a megaphone. “The next checkpoint is the ‘Alluring Sweets Challenge!’ It’s an all-you-can-eat for chocolate that everyone loves!” “What, chocolate!?” King Dedede’s eyes lit up. “That’s my favorite! How generous of you, an all-you-can-eat!” The other athletes shouted in joy as well. “I had a heck of a time from the super spicy challenge!” “My tongue is tingling still. It’ll go away if I stuff myself with the sweet chocolate!” “You can see it now! That’s the fourth checkpoint!” Shouts Kizario. Something strange was at where Kizario pointed. It appears to be......an enormous pool. However, what it's filled with isn’t water, but- “Chocolate!?” “It’s a chocolate pool!” The athletes were making a commotion. The group arrived at the pool and stopped their Machines. The staff are quickly getting ready to film. Kizario explained the rules in the meantime. “As you can see, this is a chocolate pool. It’s the super-deluxe edition that my wonderful staff have spent all night preparing.” “Is the chocolate real?” “Yeah, of course! Wanna taste?” The athletes kneeled at the edge of the pool and nervously put their hands in. “Whoa, it’s so sticky!” “Lemme see......” King Dedede licked the chocolate on his hand with his huge tongue. In an instant, his face seemed to be enraptured. “Mmmm! Tasty! This is some good chocolate!” The other athletes also forgot themselves and began to lick the chocolate. “Whoa there, let’s leave the tasting at that. You guys have a challenge to do from here.” Said Kizario. “I get it. We should eat this entire pool of chocolate, right?” “No! You all are to-” Kizario folded his arm and said haughtily. “Dive into this pool and swim.” “......Eh!?” “It would be hard to swim since it’s a thick melted chocolate. The rule is that only the brave ones that manage to swim over to the bridge on the other side can pass this checkpoint.” “......EHHH!!!?” A voice of surprise and complaints came from the athletes. “What’s with that!” “That’s absurd! There’s no way I can swim in a pool this sticky!” “Wouldn’t my body be drenched with chocolate!?” “It feels gross, I can’t!” “Quiet!” Shouted Kizario in anger. “You guys love chocolate, right?” “We do, but this and that aren’t......” “Nitpickers are to be disqualified! Hurry up and dive in!” Meanwhile, there is just one athlete that’s brimming with enthusiasm. It’s King Dedede, of course. “An all-you-can-swim chocolate pool must be a heaven! I’ll eat all of this chocolate~!” The king dove into the pool right as he shouted. The athletes are taken by surprise. They become round-eyed and shouts in unison. “King Dedede!” “Are you alright, Your Highness?” Even if it’s King Dedede, a chocolate pool would be different from his expectation. Wouldn’t he lose his freedom from the chocolate sticking to him and drown...... Ignoring such concerns of the athletes, King Dedede was disporting himself. “Woohoo!!! So good! This chocolate is really good~!” Kizario bends himself forward and shouts “Hey, you’re supposed to swim, not eat!” “Oh, be quiet. It’s up to me whether I eat or swim.” “The race can’t continue unless you swim over to the opposite bank! “I get it. I’ll swim once I get tired of eating.”
Tumblr media
King Dedede is gulping down the pool of chocolate with his mouth wide open. Seeing him, the athletes steeled their resolve. “Dang it......at this rate, King Dedede is going to take the win!” “It can’t be helped! I’ll dive in!” One by one, they dive into the pool. King Dedede hummed while pushing his way through the chocolate and muttered. “It’s a good thing that Kirby isn’t here. This pool would’ve become empty in no time if he was here!” Hearing that words of his, Kizario said in discontentment. “Come to think of it, Walky and Meta Knight have disappeared. Setting Meta Knight aside, the race can’t be relayed without Walky. Where is that douche slacking off at?”

🌻🌻🌻
Send me a 🌻 and I’ll just tell you whatever the fuck I want
We have only one braincell and it can’t stop howling about Automata so I’ll take thREE OF YOUR THINGIes to just ramble about how the song Weight of the World destroys my soul and why I can’t stop crying about sad androids but it also heavy spoilers for Nier: Automata so idk man
First time you hear it is when you finish the first route / 2B’s route, and the song feels a lot like it’s from 2B’s perspective and gross sob as you learn more about her, that she is actually called 2E.
The official designation...is 2E. Number 2, Type E.
This is a specific model for Executioner,  it is shown in some side quest that there was another types among these and iirc the one you meet kills herself for nor being able to bear with the guilt of having to meet people / make friends and eventually having to kill them at some point. 2B's role though was to be sure that 9S wouldn’t find out about the truth behind the YoRHa, so she’d have to kill him every time he ended up finding out about it because of the natural curiosity programmed on his model/type.  
Tell me God, are you punishing me? Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
Even though she knew the truth about YoRHa simply for her model, and having to deal with 9S finding out about it - where there are times where he even learns the truth about her.
(9S speaks while struggling painfully.) 9S: Damn ...! 2B, why?! Why did you ...! Pod 153 (narration): A wide, white sword penetrates 9S's stomach. Pod 153 (narration): As delicate, red blood drips down him. (2B hides her pained feelings.) 2B: You attempted to access highly confidential information ... therefore ... 9S: B-But ... 2B ... T-Trust ... me ... Pod 153 (narration): 9S's vital signs begin to fade. Pod 153 (narration): Heart rate decreasing, body temperature declining, motor functions failing, pupils dilating. Pod 153 (narration): As every one of his parameters breaks down, he chokes out his final words. 9S: I-It hurts ... It ... h-hurt ... s ... (His heart stops, and there is the sound effect of a flatline beep.)
So 2B was bound to ALWAYS be partners with 9S, and ALWAYS have to kill him *muffled crying* thinking back that they are Androids so god knows how many times she had to do it.
2B: Kh ... ngh ... (Unable to bear it, 2B begins to cry.) Pod 153: Pod 153 to 2E. Pod 153: Proposal: Delete 9S's personal data and reinstall default personal data. 2B: This is ... too much ...
And :D
2B: No ... Enough already ... Pod 153: Proposal: Unit 2B should carry out her assignment. (The sound of a heartbeat stopping, and a flatline's beep.) 2B: I don't want to kill him anymore ...
But also :D
Pod 153: The Commander has already denied the mission cancellation request submitted 64 hours ago. (The sound of a heartbeat stopping, and a flatline's beep.) 2B: Why ... do I have to ... Pod 153: Unit 2B was chosen due to her ability to adapt to harsh environments as well as her combat capabilities. 2B: I'm not suited for this mission at all ... Pod 153: Negative. 2B: Someone ... help me ...
When the first route starts, you get to eliminate a target which ends up requiring 9S’s help, they are very formal / military-ish while talking then, but as it goes, 9S gets more :D with her as in.
9S: You know, ma’am. I’m glad you are here. 2B: Why? 9S: Scanners like me mostly work alone. Scouting enemy lines and all that? I don’t usually get a partner. It’s kind of fun! 2B: ...Emotions are prohibited.
This is something that I ended up wondering the first time I played it, because 9S at first is very friendly and excited to have a companion in a mission, and in general just very warm towards 2B while 2B is big ol’ “Emotions are prohibited” and tries to brush him off / don’t really care about his attempts on trying to be more intimate? with her.
9S: Hey, 2B? 2B: Yes? 9S: People that know me well usually call me Nines, so... 2B: ... Oh. 9S: So... What do you think? 2B: Of? 9S: I mean, if you wanna call me Nines, it’s totally okay. 2B: ... I’m good. 9S: Oh, um... Alright...
gently I’m not crying you are crying So because of the nature of their relationship, and because 2B knew the truth, and knew that she’d have to kill him again sooner or later.
9S: Watch out for hostile enemies, 2B. 2B: Roger that, Nine...ze. 9S: Huh!? Wait, what did you just say!? 2B: Roger that, 9S. 9S: Wait, no! That’s not what you said! You said “Nines”! Or at least something close to — 2B: Cut the chatter, and engage the enemy.
So her acting like this was a way to try and shield herself and not get attached once more and get hurt again when she has to kill him, but thinking through the game after you learn the truth about 2E, you look back on all the way she acts and how thorn she was through all of it and just pain.
2B: From the moment 9S gains illegal access within the Bunker, it becomes my duty to carry out his execution. 2B: It's a duty that I must repeat ... over, and over ... without end. 9S: I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel something special towards 2B. 9S: But that sort of thing isn't allowed for us YoRHa troops. (2B, with a hint of pain in her voice.) 2B: Over and over ... I continue to kill 9S with my own hands. 2B: And every time, it feels like a void within me deepens. 2B: I wonder ... if it's okay for me to hope ... 9S: For the day ... 2B: For the day ... 2B and 9S: When my sins can be forgiven.
And with things like this, how Weight of the World applies to it like,
I feel like I'm losing hope. In my body and my soul And the sky, it looks so ominous. And as time comes to a halt. Silence starts to overflow My cries are inconspicuous
2B was going through this for many, many years. iirc she, along with 9S. were the first androids to be properly made - where during her first time as 2B she already had to kill 9S for killing their creator. 2B was always at the price of either killing 9S, or letting all that she knew - all of YoRHa - fall. All the Androids, and possibly even the war against the machines before they knew that there was no proper war going on anymore.
Cause we're going to shout it loud Even if our words seem meaningless It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
So by killing 9S, 2B was avoiding the truth and end of YoRHa every time - while fighting machines that mostly wanted to wipe Androids too. She was fighting against both sides, while often being confronted with the fact that some Machines felt things too and didn’t even want to fight or were harmful at all, but she was still a soldier.
I wish that someway, somehow That I can save every one of us But the truth is that I'm only one girl
This wasn’t just about her and 9S, cause not killing him would lowkey just be treason, but saving all the YoRHa androids of this fate and lies behind it, and all the other common androids from also YoRHa’s fall and machines, /and/ the machine lifeforms that weren’t connected to their network and had a mind of their own. Because she knew the truth behind all of it and still couldn’t do a thing to even save herself or the most important person to her.
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
I’m not even gonna get too much into the philosofical side Automata and how we see both androids and machine question things like their existence, reason and God™️
This is my redemption song I need you more than ever right now Can you hear me now?
But overall I think every one in this game suffers a whole fucking lot but I think none of them had it as hard as 2B, and by the end of the last route, when she finally dies due to a contamination spreading through all of YoRHa units. She meets A2 by the end, and offers her own sword to A2 - so she can keep 2B’s memories, and also end her before she goes corrupt by the contamination.
2B: Guess... This is it... (2B stabs the ground with her sword, offering it to A2.) 2B: These are... my memories. 2B: Take care of everyone for me... 2B: Take care... of the future... A2...
So yeah, 2B just wanted everyone to be good and nice and safe, and she couldn’t do that. She couldn’t save them, nor herself after trying to repair herself from the virus that was destroying her mind. She puts it on A2, the renegade YoRHa android and someone who knew all the shit behind YoRHa, that wouldn’t end up falling back on the cycle that was between those two. She honors what 2B asked of her, and proceeds to end her before she gets fully corrupted - while 9S is running to try and find 2B.
(A2 takes 2B’s sword, and proceeds to stab her with it.) 9S: 2B! 2B! 9S: 2B! Are you— (A wide, white sword penetrates 2B's stomach. As delicate, red blood drips down her.) 2B: Oh... Nines... 9S: This can’t... 2B... No... 9S: —A2! I’ll kill you!
:^) I’m not crying you are crying. This proceeds to 9S getting full blinded by rage and spending the rest of this route trying to kill A2 even though A2 is just trying to keep her promise with 2B, and try to save everyone, including 9S. This got into a biG RAMBLE SO I’m stopping here but *waggles hands* this and like, when you hear the chorus version of Weight of the World as if it’s all YoRHa singing, or when I got to hear the XIV version of it in the raid?? just watch how hARD I CAN CRY. Cause if this wasn’t painful enough, I’ll just leave this final bit here, when 9S finds a recording of 2B after she died.
2B: This is YoRHa unit 2B... 2B: If anyone’s listening to this, there’s something I need you to do. 2B: If you ever meet up with YoRHa unit 9S... 2B: I want him... I mean... 2B: I’m sorry. Please, just give him the following message: 2B: 9S... the time I was able to spend with you... It was like memories of pure light... Thank you... Nine...s.

scheduled mondays, wednesdays, thursdays
main masterlist | story on ao3 | next chapter >>
Tumblr media
Geralt wakes, gets dressed, and is finally allowed downstairs, where the servant brings him to the dining hall and he finds Nyla and Jaskier already sitting there.
Or- Nyla is sitting. Jaskier is kneeling by her feet, and Geralt is instantly fully alert and awake, anger rushing through him and shocking his systems alive. The fear, which has become the most familiar scent to Geralt recently and has become nearly a standard part of Jaskier’s scent, also helps with waking Geralt suddenly up.
He takes a seat next to Nyla and is handed a plate of food - which, he really does try to eat, but Nyla’s poisonous, dark smile and the way she hand-feeds Jaskier, and he goes along with it without an argument, doesn’t help with his appetite. Geralt would wonder what’s changed, but he’s pretty sure the way Nyla left last night with Jaskier tells him everything he needs to know about what changed and what Nyla did to Jaskier.
Nyla notices, of course she notices, and her tone hides warning beneath it. “Not eating your food?” she asks. Geralt glances up, eyes flicking down to where Nyla feeds Jaskier a strawberry, and he swallows.
“No. Not hungry,” he replies shortly.
Nyla’s smile widens, growing impossibly darker. “Eat,” she says, with no room for argument.
So Geralt eats, forces down the urge to throw it all up, and watches the servants take the plates away. Nyla stands up, Jaskier following her, and she waves Geralt on. He reluctantly follows, and they walk through several hallways before emerging into bright daylight and a stone path, leading them through a garden overflowing with life - both magical and real. The flowers are far too vibrant to be real, but the plants themselves are, and their growth is (mostly) real.
Nyla smiles, her arm slipping possessively around Jaskier’s waist again. Geralt sees the fae tense, fear rolling off of him in acrid waves and burning Geralt’s nose. He thinks he’s become quite good at suppressing his instincts to fight - forget Kaer Morhen, if there was any training to teach him control over his instincts, this had to be the most effective. Seeing Jaskier so afraid, so weak, made a bloodlust arise in Geralt like he hadn’t felt since he’d first become a full Witcher, reflexes and senses honed to a dangerous point - which he has never wanted to use more than right now.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Nyla says, but her eyes aren’t on the flowers. Jaskier nods, staying unsettlingly silent, and she grins, sending a glance back at Geralt.
“Yes,” he grits out when she raises an eyebrow expectantly. She gives a satisfied nod and turns back to face the front.
They continue walking, spending most of the day in the garden where Jaskier’s fear permeates the air and Geralt nearly sees red with anger, and by noon Nyla forces them to have lunch with her before locking them back in their rooms and, presumably, leaving them alone for the day.
Jaskier starts shaking almost as soon as she leaves, panicked blue eyes turning to Geralt, who freezes, unsure of what to do. His wings fold in tightly against his back and he wraps his arms around himself. “Geralt, she- she-“
He chokes off and Geralt steps forward, reaching slowly out. He has no idea what to do, he’s probably as terrified as Jaskier is, but he has to do something, and the way Jaskier leans into his touch as he circles his arms around him suggests he’s doing it right.
“She touched my wings,” Jaskier whispers after a few moments, when both his voice and his body have stopped shaking so much. “She made me- made me feel pleasure from them, and-“ he pauses, swallows. Geralt surreptitiously moves his arms away from Jaskier’s wings, learning that they’re something of an intimate part of his body.
“She taunted me with her magic. Kept me on edge for hours, told me how I was weak and she was strong and I was- was supposed to be a pet, was born for it. A pretty thing for people to admire and touch,” he continues. Geralt tenses up.
Jaskier looks up, eyes widening, and pulls away when Geralt tenses up - he lets him, arms falling easily away when Jaskier steps back. He’d never cage the fae, because he knows birds are meant to fly, and anyway, he’s the most beautiful when he’s free. Nyla doesn’t know what she’s missing, making him miserable by caging him. Geralt would rather be able to watch Jaskier be free from afar than never have him, if this is what it did to him.
“Sorry,” Jaskier breathes, blue eyes wide and an overwhelming blend of panic, anxiety, and fear rolling off of him in waves. “Sorry, I didn’t- didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
Geralt frowns. “Jaskier, you could never make me uncomfortable.”
The fae relaxes slightly, though he still looks doubtful, and Geralt sighs. “You can tell me anything,” he says - because he can. Geralt would do so much for Jaskier, far more than he’d like to admit. Listening to what Nyla did to him was only a trivial part of making Jaskier feel better.
Jaskier runs a hand through his hair, wings fluttering anxiously. Geralt resists the urge to step forward and touch, knowing that it will probably do more harm than good.
“Do you know what wings and other features like them mean to fae?” he asks suddenly, and responds before Geralt can, a slightly hysterical light in his eyes. “They’re- they’re intimate. If I had my magic, I wouldn’t even make them visible to anyone but who I trusted. It’s not- they’re not supposed to be seen, or touched, unless I want them to. And this- she made me-“
He shakes his head, running a hand through his hair again. Geralt stays still - he wouldn’t know what to do even if he was allowed, and confident enough, to touch.
Jaskier looks up now, meeting Geralt’s eyes, and his blue eyes are wide and panicked. Distantly, Geralt thinks fuck it and moves forward without thinking, wrapping his arms around Jaskier - without touching his wings, Geralt carefully makes sure of. The fae melts into him, burying his face in his shirt, and anyone else wouldn’t have felt the slight trembling of his body, or the whisper-breath litany of curses coming from his mouth.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”
Geralt is silent. He doesn’t know what to say, anyway, and he’d most likely make it worse. It’s a miracle already that Jaskier is withstanding his touch for so long, and when he’s in such a fragile mindset. Geralt considers stepping away, but Jaskier seems to be relaxing where he is, the scent of anxiety and panic slowly bleeding from his scent as his breaths even out, and Geralt decides he’ll stay where he is.
Jaskier stops shaking several minutes later, and Geralt drops his arms. The faint scent of disappointment reaches Geralt’s nose, before it disappears and Jaskier steps back, turning away and moving to sit on the edge of the bed.
“Let’s just go to sleep. And-“ he starts pulling at the sheer dress Nyla had put him in, an overwhelming assault of emotions flooding into his scent, “get this fucking dress off of me,” he says, almost growls. He throws the dress across the room when he finally pulls it off, and stares at it for several moments before sighing and dropping his head in his hands.
Geralt doesn’t say anything, only walks to his side of the bed and pulls the covers aside, sliding underneath them. Jaskier doesn’t move.
“Jaskier,” Geralt says quietly.
There’s a small hitch of breath, and Geralt thinks Jaskier is crying, before he takes his hands away from his face and his voice comes out rough. “Yeah. Yeah, okay.” He swings his legs up on the bed and rolls to his stomach, pillowing his head on his hands.
Geralt turns his head, meeting Jaskier’s blue eyes, and the fae gives a small, sad smile before spreading one wing, draping it over Geralt like a heavy, heated, feathered blanket. It’s familiar, and Geralt lets the corner of his lips quirk up for half a second before he closes his eyes, feeling Jaskier’s scent slowly flood with dandelion-happiness amidst the anxiety and panic before his breathing evens out, body relaxing into the mattress. Geralt lets sleep take him soon after, finding this small point of contentment in the mess that is their life right now.
Tumblr media
Jaskier wakes up at dawn - he’s formed a habit of doing that now - almost two weeks after the banquet. Almost two weeks after Nyla had first brought him to her room and shown him just how cruel she could be, just how much she’d desired him. At this point, Jaskier couldn’t tell which nightmares were his and which were brought on by Nyla’s magic, which hummed around him constantly, like a pesky insect. He might have lost his magic temporarily, but he had not lost the other inhuman aspects of him - wings, for one. His inhuman grace, quicker reflexes, sharper senses… and the ability to sense magic.
And Jaskier has quite come to look forward to destroying Nyla’s magic when he has the chance.
He slides on the dress she picked for him today, shivering and shoving down the burst of panic as the magic slides into place, feeling as if it’s cutting his wings off in one cold, efficient slice. In any other circumstance, he would’ve felt powerful in the exquisite fabric, which was a shining sapphire blue with gold highlights that he knew brought out his eyes, contrasted nicely with his pale skin and dark hair, and made him look like the worst temptation - in the best way.
Now, though, he feels like a meal being prepared for ravenous wolves. And not the sexy kind of meal, and not the sexy kind of wolf.
He sighs before sliding into the chair and applying makeup, angling his face to his reflection in the mirror for perfect lines. Nyla had told him in bed last night that she wanted him to have makeup tomorrow, and though he was in a post-coital haze, he couldn’t forget the warning tone in her voice for the rest of the night and into the morning if he tried. It repeats in his head like a bad song, and he wonders, with no small sense of dread, why she’d want him in makeup after most of the time they have with her was spent without it.
Fifteen minutes later, he finishes and looks over at Geralt, who’s still sleeping. The gold light of dawn shines over his face, highlighting his white hair and the dips and curves of his skin in pale gold. He looks beautiful like this, Jaskier thinks, and he desperately wants to touch. He wants to spend the morning in bed with Geralt, taking apart and being taken apart, instead of meeting a manipulative sorceress’s sadistic appointments.
But, he doesn’t always get what he wants, so he stands up from his chair and leaves the room, closing the door as quietly as possible behind him. The servant locks it, and Jaskier turns, walking down the hallway and downstairs.
Nyla meets him in the downstairs dining room, which is suspiciously devoid of any breakfast dishes, and her eyes scan down his body appreciatively, a smirk curling her lips. Jaskier puts on his neutral mask, smoothing out all expression save for when he glances away at her gaze, shifting uncomfortably.
She returns her eyes to his and her smile grows. “I have a treat for you today,” she purrs, before turning around and walking away. He follows her, a strange sense of dread rising in him at the way she says treat, giving him the feeling as if it’s anything but.
Nyla opens two grand double doors to a large room, filled with at least a dozen nobility of various genders and dressed in such clothing that it makes Jaskier realize very suddenly what they want from him.
He freezes behind Nyla, wants to run but he can’t because the doors slam and lock behind him, and the nobility and Nyla all are staring at him like he’s prey. One of the lords walks forward while Jaskier is frozen, breaths coming shorter, and he flinches when the lord’s hand tangles in Jaskier’s hair and pulls, tugging his head back and baring his throat.
Jaskier can barely breathe. “Hmm, pretty thing isn’t he?” the lord asks, a smirk curling his lips as his finger traces down Jaskier’s neck, making him shiver involuntarily. “We’ll have fun with him.”
Suddenly the fog is broken and Jaskier growls softly, feeling his rage spark up like a bonfire, and moves faster than any of them can process. The lord is on the ground in an instant, one hand cupping his sensitive parts and the other pressed against his jaw, which Jaskier had uppercutted. He turns to the rest of them, feeling adrenaline course through him and the faint whisper of his magic brush against him - there, and responsive, but unreachable.
Nyla glares and he feels her magic whip against his skin in warning, stinging but leaving no mark. He doesn’t back down - he will not let them have their way with him so easily. He was never one to submit easy, and to multiple people? To nobility? He’d rather die than be stripped of that dignity.
“Songbird,” Nyla warns, but Jaskier is already moving again, landing two more hits in two of the nobles before her magic crashes into him, rendering him frozen in place. He glares at her, letting a snarl rise in his throat as she keeps him held still.
He can feel his rage and adrenaline coursing through him, and Nyla is lucky that she has him weak, otherwise he would have embraced his true fae nature for the first time in years and, possibly, have decorated the room in blue blood. Jaskier knows he can’t do it now, though he will bide his time. Nyla can’t run forever, especially when she takes the enchantments and the collar off, and when she does…
He hopes she knows to run, and he hopes she knows she won’t succeed.
For now, his rage is only tempered by the fact that her magic hums around him, pinning him in place, and one of the noble lords - not from before - walks up to him, smirking when he realizes Jaskier’s predicament. “You’re caught, songbird,” he sneers.
Jaskier smiles, though it’s more like a baring of teeth - he knows his teeth are just a little on the wrong side of too sharp, and the lord falters. “You’re lucky I am,” he replies, not bothering to hide the threat in his tone.
The lord is quiet for all of a moment before he gets over his fear and sneers, anger at Jaskier’s defiance causing him to tangle his fingers in his hair and pull Jaskier’s head back, tugging until it’s painful and Jaskier lets out a sharp gasp.
“I can think of better things to do with that mouth,” he says, shoving Jaskier down on his knees.
Nyla smiles, her magic humming around Jaskier, and his rage simmers like a low flame.
The nobles descend on him, and Jaskier thinks of all the ways he’ll make Nyla pay.

The Beginning Of The End
Tumblr media
Request by @xiaolinweretiger : This comes in story, headcanon, or "If You" form: "Being from the Earth of Brandon Ruth's Superman and ending up on the Earth of Supergirl/with the Legends, where you join them. But you're also dealing with knowing about the upcoming Crisis."
A/n: The crisis is coming! Are you all ready? I’m not. I added my own twist to this request.
Warning: ...
Word Count: 2121
You and most of the League were in the watchtower. A wave of red absorbed and destroyed everything in its path, it was heading closer and closer to Earth. You and the League tried coming up with a plan but so far no use.
The Sector House Alpha, home to the Green Lantern Corps, went offline 10 months ago. Starhaven, Colu, Naltor, and Argo City followed after. Considering that they were light years away this wave was going fast.
When the wave hit you were with Clark in Metropolis to help him with Darkseid when he solar flared. Darkseid in search for his “Anti-Life Equation” has found it but was vaporized 30 city blocks away. You opened a portal to another dimension. Clark watched in horror as his city began to vaporize, they had screamed for Superman to save them but he couldn’t save everyone.
Superman started to gesture and cry for people around him to enter the portal.
“Watchtower to citizens of Earth. We can’t save the Earth but we will do everything to save you.”
“Glitch to Watchtower. I’m trying to make portals around the world. Get to your respective cities and get citizens there!”
As the member of the Justice League you made an oath to put your life in danger to save Earth. J’onn had wisely advised not to create a portal for the whole Earth, but with not many options left you had to. Your hands shook violently, blood percolated from you nose and you could taste the iron from it as you pushed further into your powers.
“Hope is the light that will lift us out of darkness!” Superman said to remind himself.
He closed his eyes and like a beacon of hope he felt his strength regain. A gust of wind flew past you. Clark sped around the remaining Earth and helped people get to portals.
You were losing energy and fast you could feel some portals dying and evaporating, taking your power with it. You pushed past your limits and collapsed onto the floor, all the portals you had started to disappear.
Clark flew back to your location before taking an inter dimensional extrapolator from his suit and portals himself and you to another planet.
“Put the girl down! Put your hands above your head!” Agents surrounded you and Clark.
He wasn’t afraid of getting hurt but your were a lot more vulnerable than you ever were having just solar flared, at least your version of it
“I mean no harm. My Earth has been destroyed, we were saving the Earth with portals, (Y/n)’s portals when she collapsed.”
“Alex! I heard the alarm is everything okay?” Kara flew in from the D.E.O balcony and spotted Clark! “Ray!”
“Kara! You’re alive!” He stood up and hugged the Girl of Steel.
“Yeah, I’m alive. And you’re Superman!”
“Oh well actually I’ve been Superman for quite a while. Does your Superman go by Ray? I’m Clark.
“Uh well our Superman is off world at the moment, but I have a friend named Ray and he looks just like you.”
Alex coughed to bring back the two super’s attention.
“Right, this is my sister Alex.
“Nice to meet you. This is...”
“(Y/n)!” Kara kneeled beside you. “She’s from the planet Ieilen (ieilen). Their planet shifts so much that it’s citizens developed powers to make sure they stay on their planet. And when she’s off her world, her Ieilen body structure glitches out making it hard for her to stay in one place. She was my best friend when I would visit her planet.
“So how is she here now?” Alex asked.
“She’s here because of you, well a version of you. You made her a chip to help stabilize her when she ended up on my Earth. She was able to concentrate her powers to teleport objects, people and herself and create portals for inter dimensional travels.”
“What happened for her to be like this?” Kara asked from concern.
“There was this wave of red the vaporized our whole universe. She was able portal some people into a different dimension. We don’t know who made it and who didn’t. She collapsed, solar flared, all the portals disappeared and I brought her here with the device Cisco gave me.
The D.E.O was packed with heroes from Earth-one from team flash, present team arrow, future team arrow, the bats, and the legends. Oliver and Barry were giving information on the incoming crisis. You were in the MedBay when you started to glitch.
“Director Danvers, we have a code blue.” Alex immediately ran into the MedBay.
“Supergirl don’t let anyone in!”
“What’s a code blue,” Mick grumbled while Zari smacked him.
Kara grabbed Clark’s arm to prevent him from entering the MedBay
“I have to see if she’s okay.”
“I can’t let you cuz. She’s in good hands with Alex. If she says not to let anyone in, you don’t get to go in. You are more than welcome to fight me.”
“Kar! Get Caitlin! Lena too!
Team flashed look at Frost before she rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’ll get Caity.” Her silver hair dissolved into brunette as her blue lips reverted back to its pinkish color.
Caitlyn ran up the stairs from the control center to the MedBay as Lena exited Alex’s lab. Lena froze in the entrance of the MedBay as a pinkish-purple portal like thing flickered towards an unknown place before it disappeared.
“She’s in respiratory distress and her temperature is spiking. Her heart rate is faster than normal.”
You began to convulse and a whole commotion was heard from the D.E.O as a pinkish-purple portal opened on a highway with a car skidding towards the portal.
“Barry! A little help here!” Cisco called as he braced himself against the control panel.
Barry does the family out of the car as Nate steeled up and both Supers stood in front of the portal. Before the car could slide through, the portal closed as Frost lowered your temperature. The back end of the car hit Kara and Clark as it stopped in place.
“What the heck was that?” Connor asked as he stared at the backend of the car.
“My guess, our little friend upstairs is the cause.” Kate Kane pointed.
The same portal opened twice before portals emerged in its wake, throughout the whole D.E.O. Agents and heroes alike took cover as objects flew through portals and energy zapped in between them. You continued to glitch, tremor and convulse before Lena mentioned you potassium levels and Alex ran to get the injection, that subdued you.Slowly but surely the portals began to disappear as the D.E.O began to quiet down.
“Dang, that girl can give Sara a run for her money.” Ava said as she dusted off her pants suit.
“What is that supposed to mean?” Sara got defensive.
“You destroy everything you touch.”
“I do not,” Sara balanced herself on an office chair and it broke apart. “To be fair most of the stuff I break, is you landing on furniture.” Sara argued as Ava blushed.
“Sara,” Ava said through gritted teeth. “I meant any mission you and the Legends go on, end up in a disaster. Like this,” Ava gestures around the D.E.O.
“I’m glad I’m not them,” Kate smiled.
“You went back to Gotham for a woman who is married.” Luke commented.
“Luke!”
“Does this happen every year?” Mia asked her father.
“Yeah, around every December.” Kara smiled.
“Immortal tyrants, aliens, Nazis, a change in reality. You would think you would get used to it by now.” Diggle crosses his arms
“Yes but this crisis is the worst of the worst. The multiverse will crumble, all life will cease to exist.” Oliver said. “Laurel lost her Earth, Clark and Glitch lost theirs.”
“Her name is (Y/n),” Clark interrupted.
“The point is that these are the only Earth’s we know to have disappeared. More could’ve disappeared and as each second passes another Earth can be gone.” Oliver continued.
“How do we fight something that can wipe us all out?” Nia asked.
“It’s not like we can punch our way through the antimatter,” William agreed.
“We can’t but if we can defeat the man behind it, the Anti-Monitor” Barry started.
“Then we can defeat this crisis.” Kara finished.
“Anyone good with a computer, find a way how to track this Anti-Monitor,” Alex said from the stairs.
“Everyone else, suit up and work with people you don’t normally fight with to know their skills and how your abilities can improve each others” Oliver commanded.
“Alright team! Let’s save the multiverse!” Sara clapped as the heroes began to disperse into locker rooms and training rooms.
The whole day was spent training, and surprisingly you were paired with Sara, Nia and Conner when you woke up. Team Genius were able to track bits and pieces of the Anti-Monitor. And now Barry, Oliver, Sara, Kara and Kate were coming up with a plan, a plan that wouldn’t necessarily be a win, but was a plan that could get them answers.
No matter how much you had trained you were not ready to face this enemy. Your breathing stiffened, there was obvious tension in your shoulders, and if that was no indication the scowl on your face did.
The plan was already in place, left and right heroes were ready for battle. You took the perfect opportunity to escape the room, which didn’t do unnoticed by Clark.
“(Y/n)?” Clark had followed you.
“Clark,” your voice fell to a whisper of regret. “I can’t go out there again.”
“Your powers aren’t back?”
“They’re fine. I can’t go out there knowing what I know. I ...” you paused to retain your composure. “I couldn’t save our Earth, how can I save the multiverse?”
Clark knew what to say, but he knew you needed a new voice to hear. You hadn’t even knew he left until two female voices entered the room.
“Okay I heard someone was having performance issues!” Sara clapped.
“That’s how you’re going to start that?” Kara asked with her hands on her hips.
“I run a ship full of children. I know what I’m doing.”
Kara rolled her eyes before she wrapped her arms around you. The moment she did the tears began and didn’t stop. You remembered the way your Kara had wrapped her arms around you, all the memories you shared. Unlike the rest of the League you pulled away and isolated yourself when the person you loved had sacrificed herself to save the world, only to have it fall in your hands. Now having scene her again, you wished it could go back to how things were before. But they wouldn’t because this was not your Earth, nor was it your Kara.
~Time Skip cause I can’t write the Crisis Part~
The multiverse was saved. Oliver, Barry and Clark were gone. Many had followed and life would never be the same again. Vanished Earths would not be repaired and you didn’t have a home. You were watching the city when Sara approached you again.
“Hey, there’s an extra room on the ship if you want to join.”
“I wouldn’t want to-“
“I insist. I could use someone like you on the ship.” Sara saw you hesitate and knew you were dealing with a loss greater than hers. “You’re not letting them down, you’re continuing their legacy. Your Earth, your team, your family, your friends and your Kara live inside you. You keep their legacy going. And we would too, you’re a legend now.” Sara smirked. “We’re making our final goodbyes. We will meet you back on the ship.”
You said your short goodbyes with Kara being the last one.
“On your Earth we were something more than friends right?”
You smiled and nodded.
“That’s why you were willing to lay down your life for me. What happened?” Kara asked.
“She is a hero.”
“And now you’re joining the Legends.”
“I have you to thank.” A comfortable silence came to the both of you before you built up the courage to ask. “Kara, I know it’s not the same but can I kiss you?”
The two of you shared a slow kiss, you didn’t want to pull away, it felt as if the moment you would you would be different. When you did pull away your forehead lingered on hers.
“Ask Lena out, you never know when it’s gonna end.”
“Goodbye Kara.”
You entered the Waverider with Sara smirking at you.
“What?”
“You are a Legend after all.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because every good Legend ends with a kiss.”

First kisses aren't always so sweet
I know I said the next thing I was going to write would be one of those two scenarios I posted about, but then this came to me last night and I wrote it in a fury, so that's where we're at.
A Gilahara (Chuuya and ADA! Gillian) piece.
Warning from some description of violence and blood, if that bothers ya.
---------
Dust stuck to Chuuya’s lungs, the jacket sleeve he held to his face doing little to keep it out. Rubble crumbled beneath his shoes, glass crunching with each step.
“Damn.” He cursed. He didn’t know where anyone else was right now, all he knew was that thing and its handlers had sure done a number on this place.
A colossus, summoned and brought to life by that damn Mary Shelley and her cult of freaks. What a mess.
He heard a cough up ahead, and his head snapped in its direction. A figure could just barely be seen through the haze. Instinctively, his body went into a ready stance, poised to launch himself at the potential enemy. It was only as they drew closer that he realized who it was, and he instantly relaxed.
Gillian, with her fluffy, brown hair matted with dirt, and black smudged along her face and clothes, the cloth also ripped in some places. Despite that, despite their surroundings and the obvious hell she’d just been through, when she saw him at the same moment he registered her, she smiled. “Hey Chu-tan, fancy meeting you here.” Her voice sounded hoarse from the dust in the air, but it still sounded like music to him.
“What the hell are you doing here?” His question was rough, but in actuality he was so relieved to see her he felt like he could just run right to her and crush her against himself. His feet stay rooted though, because that relief is mixed in with the absolute terror of realizing she’s here, where that thing is still lurking somewhere.
“Same as you,” She says “I’m trying to fix this.”
He grits his teeth. “No offense, Gillian, but I just watched what it’s capable of; there’s no way you can beat it.” So get away from it.
“I won’t know unless I try. And does that mean you’re gonna stop it? Because you seem to be no better off than I am right now.”
It was true he’d seen better days. His own body was covered practically head to toe in grime, his suit ripped and covered in flecks of blood that had mixed with the dirt to form a gross muck. Still, he stood straight, hopping down from the raised bunch of concrete he’d been on to stride towards her. “What’s your plan, then, huh? How are you going to stop it? Your voice? I doubt even your ability is enough to calm that thing down.”
“Look at what it did to this place; imagine what it’ll do to the city if it’s not taken care of here.”
He stopped mere inches from her, his eyes boring into hers. He saw fear deep within the blue, but it was wrapped in a thick iron determination that didn’t falter even under his hard stare. It wasn’t that he thought she was weak, he knew the strength hidden in her small body, knew the force of nature her voice could be. Thinking about her going against that thing, though; even she… “It’ll crush you.”
“What’s your plan, then? Do you even have one?” She crossed her arms defiantly, her gaze not leaving his once.
His scowl deepened. He had an idea, all right, but it was stupid. He’d been mulling over his options just before she’d shown up. He knew how extreme the situation was, but the consequences just didn’t seem worth it. There was certainly some other way to stop that thing from reaching the city, something that wouldn’t come at such a great cost to himself. That was before he knew she was here. Here, in this place and ready to throw herself in its path if it meant saving even one person. A rumble in the distance reached them.
“My ability,” he started. He saw her expression shift with the change in his voice, confusion blossoming at the flat acceptance it’d taken on, all anger and frustration drained away in a second. He seemed calm. “has another aspect to it. A true form, capable of crushing an opponent in seconds, leaving nothing in my way. All I need to do is let lose all my inhibitions and I will be unstoppable. It’ll be more than enough to stop her Frankenstein.”
“What?” She whispered “If you have something like that, then why…” some realization sparked in her eyes, and they widened slightly. “What does it cost you? Moves like that always cost something. My own scream leaves me emotionless and robotic for hours, what does this true form do to you?”
“It’s called corruption, and that lack of inhibition means that once I activate it I can’t stop it. Corruption will keep fighting even after everything around me is crumbled, and it’ll sap away my strength until it uses me up entirely.”
“No… No, how could you ever use such a dangerous ability if it destroys you? There’s no way- Dazai. You and him used to be partners, didn’t you? His ability would stop yours before it could do permanent damage.”
“That’s right.” He nodded watching her work it out.
“But he’s miles from here! He’s back in the city, we have no way to even contact him if there was a way he could get here in time!” the fear buried in her eyes was starting to leak out, as she realized what Chuuya had already decided. “You can’t.” Her whispered voice broke, and then the panic made it rise again. “If you do that then you’ll-“
His hand came up to grip the back of her head, pulling her towards him at the same time he surged forward. He kissed her, deep and rushed, pouring more words than he could ever say into the action. The open palm of his other hand rested on her back, helping to push her body further into his. He wanted to feel as much of her as he could while he had the chance. He was acutely aware of her own hands wrapping around him to grab at his shoulders, and of the tears he could taste mixing with the flavor of her lips. Who did they belong to?
He made himself pull back, and only allowed himself a moment to rest his forehead against hers, before pulling away. His coat whipped up around him as he turned his back and walked quickly away from her.
“Chu-tan. Chu-tan, wait!” She called behind him. He refused to look, even as he heard her footsteps trying to catch up.
His ability activated around him, and with a single leap he was far above the ground, heading in the direction of the noise the thing made.
“Chuuya!” She screamed, raw and loud. It still sounded like sweet music to him, as it faded into the distance.
------
The earth was shattered beneath him. Cracked and splattered with gore. Pieces of that thing littered the ground, its blood mingling with that of the people who’d controlled it.
He loved it.
Manic giggles peeled from his throat. With each wild swing of his arms, more balls of dark energy flew from his palms and tore apart his surroundings.
This was bliss. Pure carnage, unobstructed chaos, ruin beneath his feet. He threw his head back and full on cackled. Blood flew from his lips into the air.
---
Her feet pounded against the ground, desperate pants sounding from her as she ran.
---
A spray of dust flew into his face. Not that it mattered. Stone cracked and blew away at his touch, and he laughed at it, his wide eyes not really seeing it. All he cared about was destruction, all he saw was red.
---
She stumbled, and her palm was sliced by a sharp chunk of rock. She payed it no attention, not stopping in her race.
---
He threw another black ball, stumbling forward from the momentum, nearly falling over before catching himself. His arms hung limp before him. His laughter didn’t stop, but it was heavy now.
---
She could hear the rumbling so close now, a random crashing that shook the ground and made her steps unsteady.
---
Blood trickled from his eyes like crimson tears. It came from his nose, from his mouth, from his ears, turning his face into a red mess.
---
She could see him. He stood hunched over in the midst of his wreckage, rippling with energy and a crazed look in his eyes. Angry red and black lines covered his skin like great wounds cracking him apart.
Gillian pushed forward, skidding over scattered rock, jumping over the deep fissures marring the ground. He was still so far away.
She couldn’t help it; his name flew from her lips in a desperate cry. “Chuuya!”
His head swiveled to face her. His smile twitched for a moment, before spreading even wider than before. Finally, something new and whole he could break.
He was in front of her in a blur, his bare hands snatching her by the neck in the same second and lifting her from the ground. She gave a strangled cry as her windpipe was crushed.
“Ch-Chuu-ya…” She forced out. He squeezed harder.
She strained to look down at him, into his crazed eyes that watched her struggle with glee. His fingers dug into her throat, bruising the skin.
Still though, still her eyes softened from fear to utter gentleness. “Chu…-tan. I know… you’re still there.”
Her shaking hand came up to rest against his pale cheek. She reached deep within herself, grabbing hold of every bit of power she could muster in that state, and poured it all into her command. “Come back, Chu-tan, please.”
He shuddered, the silvery purple aura coming from Gillian washing over his body. His grip loosened slightly, and her breathing became easier. With more breath, her voice became stronger, and she spoke again. Her voice echoing and ethereal, ringing through the open space.
“I know you can do it, Chu-tan. You are not lost to this power. Do you hear me? Turn off corruption, come back.” Her soothing voice flooded him, clashing against the chaos within him, mixing and roiling. The darkness raged, rearing and spitting and clawing, but the light just embraced it. The marks on his skin started to flake off and drift away in wisps of smoke. He stumbled forward, her feet thumping back to the floor, his grip on her neck a weak squeeze. Her other hand cupped his face as well, her thumbs wiping away the new clear tears cutting a path through the blood.
“Come back to me.” She said. With the grip on her throat gone, her power ripped through the sourness she could feel and made her voice come out strong and sure.
His legs buckled, and he fell forward, taking both of them to the ground. The marks of corruption faded and flew away, his eyes losing their wild energy and falling closed as the exhaustion immediately lulled him to sleep before he’d even finished falling.
Gillian landed on her butt, and caught Chuuya against herself, his head resting against her chest. She gasped for breath, her mouth tasted of iron and her throat was raw and pained from a combination of being choked and forcing so much power out like that. The will of corruption was strong, she could feel the mindless chaos fighting back against her, but there was no way she was going to have submitted to it. Not when it was threatening to take Chuuya.
She looked down at the dirty mop of hair she could see and closed her eyes in relief, a few tears squeezing out. She wrapped her arms around his slumbering form and buried her face against his hair, not caring that he smelled like grime and ruin. “It’s alright now, Chu-tan. We’re both alright.” Despite everything, despite the pain she was in, she smiled, warm and real.

SPACEIPLIER: One by One
She was crying.
Madapriel frowned, arms folded as the door slammed open. The woman stood there, chest heaving and tears carving paths through the dirt covering her face. Two curved daggers were clenched in white knuckled hands. She stared at her with hate. Her small frame shook. The door closed behind her.
She was unbalanced.
She was tired.
This would be easy.
“Did you hurt him?” she spat. She staggered forwards, her footing uncertain. She wasn’t watching Madapriel's hands. She wasn’t watching the knife sitting on the desk next to her. She was watching her eyes, and in doing so, watched what she should have ignored. Emotions. “Did you… did you kill him?”
Madapriel sighed.
“Answer me!” she said, throwing one of her knives. It lodged itself with a thunk into the wall behind her, grazing her cheek. Madapriel reached up to touch it. Fingers came away with a thin layer of blood. Even unstable and exhausted, she was dangerous.
She would be a good addition to Madapriel’s finality.
Carefully reaching into her pocket, Madapriel pulled out the vial of blood. The faintest blue glow surrounding it.
The woman’s eyes locked onto it.
Recognition flashed across her features. A slight parting of her lips, and a widening of her eyes. Then, it was gone in a burst of fury.
There were no words. Not even a scream of rage. One moment she stood there, and the next she was running forwards. Her hand was coming down, knife posed to stab her. In any other situation, Madapriel would have been dead. This form of hers would have been slain by such a formidable opponent. But today was different.
Today, emotions had come into play.
Oh, sweet little girl. Didn’t they teach you? Your love will only kill you.
Madapriel reached up, grabbing her wrist. With a sharp twist, her hand was redirected. The knife no longer aimed at Madapriel’s chest, but at hers. Her eyes widened, but there was no time to stop what had been put into motion. With a shove, the knife sunk into her heart.
She screamed, but it was choked.
Madapriel drew the knife out and, with certainty, stabbed the organ in her gut that would finish her off.
The woman clutched at her, a mixture of hatred and fear in her eyes.
“You look tired,” Madapriel said, smiling as she lowered the woman to the floor. It was almost kind. This woman was worn to her end. She had been used, and had used. She could rest now. She could stop this pointless fight. “Why don’t you go to sleep?”
A pulse of red light.
She stopped breathing.
Blood covered Madapriel’s hands. A perfect sample. Standing, she walked to the door and pushed it open. It creaked. Hand slipping inside her pocket, she selected the empty vial next to the blue one. Then, she let the blood pool in her palm and slip inside.
Where she had left him, the one who she had first taken from lay there in the arms of yet another one of those militia beings. Pink, this time. He was clutching at him, staring at her with fear and shock. As if he couldn’t understand what was happening to him.
She could see the cracks forming.
A mercenary who cared? How interesting… and so easily used.
Madapriel walked forwards, slipping the vial into her pocket. “Huh,” she said, voice soft and curious. “I assumed your kind were murderers. Yet you try to save him? Strange. You have a heart.”
“Fuck off,” the pink one spat, his compatriot wheezing his final breaths in his arms.
She smiled, and kept walking.
One.
.
.
Dark.
Drifting.
Cold.
No sound, and no smells. Nothing to sense. Only a floating feeling as Madapriel waited.
Sleeping.
Awake.
Waiting.
There was something muted. Warm, and full. It sunk into him. He started changing. Absorbing. Taking in the DNA and making it his own. He knew this DNA. They’d forced it on him many times. Human. The living code for the species doomed to destroyed themselves on this dying planet. There was something off about it.
The human part he knew.
But also knew this. This code of a species all too familiar. What was it?
Half-breed did not bother Madapriel. Those other species that found love in others was what it was. A motivation for species to spread across the galaxy, forming homes and lives wherever they might. Madapriel did not concern himself with the workings of others personal existence. He didn’t not care to insert himself into the lives of those species he only touched upon momentarily. But this… this brought a sour feeling. This DNA.
Xanhull DNA.
A Xanhull who had mated outside of their own kind.
Hatred curled in Madapriel. Hatred at the GAAP for destroying his home, and his people’s traditions. Their way of living had been eradicated. All out of fear and personal gain. How disgusting. His home was gone, and so were the values held so close to him. And now beings like this walked the galaxy.
As Madapriel reformed, he felt a tug at the back of his mind.
Kill the gret. Give it mercy. Find some sort of control. Restore some kind of sense of right into his world.
Then – and only then – could he continue.
Two.
.
.
The heart had gone bad.
The DNA Madapriel had been planning on using was useless. He would have to replace it, and soon. Not a problem, but the species would be an issue. Such a warrior race, and so powerful in their abilities, it would be a harrowing battle to regain the DNA he had lost.
Outside, he could hear Mark and his crew. Talking and laughing about a mission they had just completed. He couldn’t let them come along. They would only get in his way. They didn’t need to know what his true intentions were.
Mark…
The longer Madapriel stayed around him, the angrier he got. It was obvious his Xanhull parent had taught him nothing of their traditions. Of their way of life. He surrounded himself with a ‘family’ that he showed obvious strong emotional attachment too. He kept animals with him that he loved. Animals! Creatures only there for him to care for, and not for food or any other usage than love.
Mark was wrong.
It would bring Madapriel great joy to snuff the life out of him.
Madapriel closed the upper part of the cabinet. Inclosing the DNA that he would use to assume his finality. The DNA of those two mercenaries, kept safe. The rotten heart, he tossed into the incinerator. Opening his comm, he located the home planet of this species. About a weeks travel.
Perfect.
.
.
“You… you want what?”
Madapriel sighed. The sun was beating down, and making his dark suit uncomfortably warm. The scent of hot earth and the sickly sweet horvu fruit, native to the planet, saturated the air. “Your DNA. Blood, hair, spit… doesn’t really matter. Though I would prefer the blood.”
The young Niokonge shook his head. “Sir, I…”
How the galaxy had changed since the eradication of Unohsket. Madapriel nearly felt a sting of nostalgia for the old days where a Xanhull asking for your DNA was an honor. You, out of everyone, were chosen to share your form with another. A being who had sworn to uphold values and codes of honor, and share diplomacy across the galaxy.
Now it was lost to the razed history of his forefathers.
“Do you want credits?” Madapriel interrupted, tired of the young whelp’s indecision. “I can compensate you for your cooperation.”
“I don’t need credits,” the Niokonge said, continuing to shake his head. Madapriel feared it would shake itself off. “I… I just got hired on as a district attorney, and I… wait, why do you want my blood? That’s really weird.”
“Your bloodline’s record is impressive,” Madapriel said. “You shall prove to be a strong addition to my finality. As well, your abilities are something I have always admired. The ability to transform kinetic energy to electricity. A valuable asset.”
“T-thanks,” he said. “Uh…”
Madapriel wanted off this damned planet. It was growing near midday, and the heat and stench was unbearable. The human senses were always an adjustment. So naturally attuned to their surroundings. The perfect blend of predator and prey.
The young Niokonge shuffled their feet. Only just cresting adulthood, he was smaller than the average Niokonge. But what he lacked in physical form, he made up for in intelligence and adaptability. A strength coming from his kinetic abilities. Madapriel had caught him leaving work, and they stood in a corner of the street. Their voices hidden under the noise of crowds leaving for home. Hidden under the rumble of kinetic powered vehicles humming down the street.
His eyes darted about. Gold and intelligent.
It would be a shame to tear them out if he refused to cooperate.
“Look, will you leave me alone if I just give you some hair?”
Madapriel nodded.
The young Niokonge reached up and tugged a few strands of blond hair out. He handed them over, warily watching him. Madapriel took them and tucked them into a small vial.
“Thank you,” Madapriel said.
And with that he turned and walked into the crowd.
Three.
.
.
The black skies of Nihill. Oh, how they never changed. Nothing changed on Nihill. Not since the first credit hungry pirate had stepped foot on this forgotten moon. The same endless cycle of greed, crime, and debauchery. Madapriel had never visited Nihill before Unohsket was destroyed, but afterwards… oh, it was heaven to those of his kind who had nowhere else to run.
New identities. New faces. Endless choices of DNA.
This is where the Xanhull race had survived.
He frowned slightly as he stopped, staring at a young woman carrying a small child. They were keeping their heads down. Avoiding drawing attention towards themselves. How sad. So, lost and forgotten that this was the place she raised her child.
The sadness grew into anger as Madapriel realized this is also how his people lived.
Lost, forgotten, and ducking their heads to stay out of sight of those that would harm them.
“Soon,” Madapriel said quietly, sending his resolutions out to his scattered people. “Soon.”
Madapriel turned, and walked into the shop.
“Welcome!” A booming voice filled the small shop. Madapriel looked up to see a larger man wearing surgeon scrubs. “My name is Dr. Percale, how may I help you?”
“I hear you sell organs.”
A grin spread across Percale’s face. “Ah, a patron of my other business. Right this way, sir!”
Percale lead him through a doorway covered by a ratty tarp into a room. A table sat in the middle of the room, scrubbed immaculately clean. A tray of surgical tools sat on the bench nearby. Everything was neatly organized and presentable, if not ultimately appearing second rate. Percale busied himself about the room, placing any spare bits away.
“Excuse the mess,” Percale said, gesturing to the clean room. “I have had a relatively busy day. Three new placements for cybernetic replacements! News of my skills must be spreading about this wonderfully delightful planet.”
“Where are your wares?” Madapriel asked.
“Ah! Yes,” Percale turned to the back wall. With a flip of a switch, the wall opened up. Lining the shelves, hidden behind the thin false wall, were jars and bottles of organs and bodily fluids. Many Madapriel could recognize, but several he could not. He stepped forwards, examining them all.
“A truly impressive collection,” Madapriel said, complimenting the doctor. Percale brightened.
“Why, thank you, sir. Might I ask which particular organ you are looking for? I am currently running low on galldyrus and livers, but have a surplus of kirpeaus and eyes!”
Madapriel’s eyes wandered about the shelves. So many choices. He had a few species in mind, but one particular jar caught his attention. It wasn’t even from a species he had been considering. Memories flooded back of his first steps. The first time he opened his eyes. The first time he had touched something.
A jar holding a Velm eye was tucked on a lower shelf.
His first form had been a Velm. A fitting note that he should take Velm as his last.
“That one,” Madapriel pointed at the jar.
Percale lifted it up, dusting off the lid a bit. “Ah yes, I remember this customer. Replaced his eye with a cybernetic one. Threw in a free drone as well. Oh, what was his name? It was a few years ago, but I can assure you that I keep all organs in perfect condition.”
“I don’t doubt it,” Madapriel said. “How much?”
“Let me think…” Percale tapped his chin with his free hand. “3500 credits?”
“3000.”
“3300.”
“3100.”
“3200?”
“Deal,” Madapriel said, taking the jar from Percale. Tapping on his comm, he sent the credits to the doctor. Percale checked his own comm, grinning when the numbers appeared.
“A true pleasure doing business with you,” Percale said.
“Likewise,” Madapriel said. He took the jar, turning his back on Percale and the room as he walked towards the door. Just one more. One more, and he would be ready. He could truly start his search for the crystal, and he could take on his finality.
Four.
And just one more.
Madapriel wondered if that bothersome Celestial was still bouncing about this galaxy. The one with the clown. His DNA would be wonderful.
He stepped out onto the rainy streets and smiled.

Super Mario Maker by Pop_Rocks (v_love) ( E | 3,734 | 1/1 )
Midoriya is smart, and a nerd, meaning that when the entire class decided to take on the aspect of buying Super Mario Maker for the collection of games in the common area that he became sort of a living legend when it came to designing the levels.

After all, the best way to commemorate one's manhood (also according to Kirishima) is to sleep with a man...right?
But amidst all the pleasures, vices and lavishly dressed courtesans of the floating world, it's a stumbling teahouse slave that Katsuki notices, with old scars on his hands and fresh ones on his back, a young man with defiant green eyes and an inexplicable fascination with the Way of the Samurai.

Stereotypes by TabiCats ( Not Rated | 9,011+ | 9/? )

Bakugou Deals With Jealousy in a Creative Manner by Renex ( E | 1,672 | 1/1 )
“That fucking half and half bastard I swear to god next time he pulls some shit like that again I’ll blow his head right off his shoulders.” Bakugou practically snarled, slamming the door to his dorm room shut before tossing his bag to the ground and collapsing down onto the bed.
“Kacchan, relax. He was just helping me that’s all.”
“Helping you?” The short-tempered blonde practically snorted, sitting up on his elbows so that he could get a better look at the freckled boy standing in front of him. “The man was practically tongue fucking you.”
drive-by by infernalangels ( E | 12,661+ | 4/? )
He should’ve never let Uraraka drag him here. The whole place reeked of beer and gasoline, drunken laughter breaking out from the group of boys he and his best friend approached. Izuku honestly didn’t know why he’d come. Signing, he began to follow Mina, silently praying he wouldn’t regret this.
Oh, he had no idea.
or: Katsuki Bakugou is everything Izuku Midoriya despises: a tattooed covered badass who takes no shit from anyone. He's arrogant, rude, addicting... Maybe that's why Izuku can't stay away.

The Way You Used To Do by edema_ruh ( T | 23,710+ | 3/? )
"We're really sorry", his father says, in that teary-eyed, wobbly way Katsuki most certainly didn't inherit from him, thank fuck. "But your friend, Izuku, he's...", he hesitates for a moment, as if trying to find the right words for that situation. "He's gone, son", he concludes, giving Katsuki's hand a squeeze. Behind him, his mother stands, face almost as impassive as ever.
Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation.
"What the fuck are you two talking about?", he asks, not as aggressively as he would have liked to. "The damn nerd is standing right beside you!"
During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Being assumed dead from his lack of brain function, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in his soul-like state is no one other than Kacchan.

180 degrees by snoodlesfounder ( M | 56,084 | 17/17 )
They haven't seen each other in ten years, but it feels as if they were never apart.
Midoriya Izuku's father, Toshinori-Midoriya Yagi, has cancer. He is fading fast, and there is only one solution, an unofficial hospital in the middle of Montana, in America. Because the hospital is uncharted, no communications go in or out of the hospital, and because of the 'healing' method, no one can leave.
It has been ten years since Bakugou Katsuki has been in love, or maybe it's been ten years since he's seen the person he's in love with. However, the voice on the balcony between he and Kirishima's apartments is just a little too familiar.
[Past Abuse | Past Rape/Non-Con | Past Addiction | PTSD]
Under the Moon by snoodlesfounder ( M | 56,694 | 9/9 )
Izuku Midoriya was Kidnapped at the beginning of his third year at UA high school, six months ago. There were no leads for almost six months, and the Hero's were starting to give up. Bakugou Katsuki finds out what everything means under the moon.

Every individual is born with a phrase marking their bodies, linking them to their soulmate through the threads of fate and time.
Izuku Midoriya is born with only half of a soulphrase on his wrist, destined to never meet the other half. A cruel omen.
Though this has not stopped Izuku from dedicating his young life to researching soul-born magic and science under his master, the legendary Toshinori Yagi. He is determined to manifest his Quirk, with or without a destined soulmate.
However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he rescues a volatile criminal—a man of savage beauty and many secrets.
And so, Izuku realizes rather quickly that in his dangerous new quest, only the most willful survive, and if his new companion is anything to show for it, nothing will prepare him for what’s to come.

Learning to live by Luciel (Bananenfisch) ( M | 4,156+ | 5/? )
No man was created equal. Midoriya Izuku learned this harsh reality at the age of eight. It was not the diagnosis that he was quirkless, which shook his life.
No, it was not this diagnosis that destroyed his life. It was something much more serious.
or
where All Might is Midoriyas father. All is nice and peachy until Midoriya gets sick and they have to deal with the consequences and then Bakugo fucking Katsuki steps into Izukus life and becomes Izukus own special Hero.

The Long Walk by Umbreon_ly ( T | 11,873 | 1/1 )
Bakugou came out on top of nearly everything, because he deserved it, because he wanted it, because he told himself so. When a sickness came and upended the hero and civilian worlds, he rose up as an alpha. An alpha pro, shattering rogue villains and cleaning up the new dynamic world. He froze in his tracks for the first time in five years when he saw Izuku Midoriya in the middle of nowhere, for the first time in five years. Bakugou is terrified.
He was alone, it seemed. Dressed like a hero but quirkless, it seemed, the only person left alive not changed into any dynamic, it seemed. Bakugou approached him. He wants to apologize. Izuku wants to leave. So he runs.
Bakugou gives chase. He won't leave him behind this time.
[Graphic Depictions Of Violence]
Not like I do. by Unoutan ( T | 2,073 | 1/1 )
“Everything you’ve been through…they don’t, can’t…no. No. Sorry. They can and will judge you, but they can judge you all they want, but they don’t know a damn thing about you, Kacchan.” Looking down at Katsuki’s calloused hands cradled between his own scarred ones for a moment, taking in the differences, Izuku closed his eyes when he whispered, “Not like I do…”

A Hero's Welcome by brichibi ( E | 1,835 | 1/1 )
It’s cool. This life is cool. This moment is cool. He and Kacchan are cool, so cool. Their younger selves would be so proud of them, so excited about the bruises and near death experiences in their future. They’ve become the heroes they grew up watching on television, and really, it’s cool, the absolute coolest.
[Or: Being a hero isn't as cool as they make it out to be]

Innocence by bakudeku ( Not Rated | 3,367+ | 5/? )
He won't cry. If they saw his tears, they'd call him weak. He isn't weak. Yet, the tears still fall. Just as he thought, everyone laughs harder. Everyone except Kacchan.
No matter how much he yells that he hates Deku, he doesn't. He genuinely cares about him, and seeing Deku look like shit is bringing out some weird protective side in him.

But what happens when, after Midoriya attempts to save Bakugou, a transphobic/homophobic man finds out what he is and desides to "set him straight." It just so happens that Bakugou had a few words for Midoriya. So, Bakugou heard his screams.
Needless to say, Bakugou nearly killed a man, and was caught by All Might himself once he managed to sneak away from the press.

“You may think the winner of UA Sports Festive Bakugou Katsuki to be a hot head, mean, and sometimes cruel person but there more to him than that. We were able to catch a small glimpse of him being a sweet and caring boyfriend to fellow contestant Midoriya Izuku. We also learned why he acts the way he did about winning and why he treated his appoint Uraraka the way he did. But that pales in comparison to what we found out about Midoriya. We didn't believe it ourselves at first too but the evidence is too much. Midoriya is the son of All might. The number one hero. But that's not all he was also bullied for being supposably quirkless.” The man said on TV.

Planetarium by crescendoh ( G | 2,467 | 1/1 )
Whether it was his physical appearance or general demeanour, Midoriya Toshinori took most after his father. Sure, he had inherited his mother’s button nose and her sharp almond eyes but whenever the two-year-old called for his mother and held out his arms for her embrace, he definitely looked most like Izuku.

“I will.” All Might chuckled. “Even if you can’t see me, I’m here.”
It was cheesy, it made no sense, but Katsuki found himself believing it. In the midst of the foreboding sense of finality, the man who gave the world his everything made one selfish request.
“Take care of Izuku.”

His parents were killed. He was given another quirk by his idol that he could not refuse. His brain beginning to feel like it was on fire, Izuku set out to do what he thought was right: Make sure that no villains were ever able to hurt those he cared about, and to make them pay for what they had done to Kachan.

Zi-O 37: Gotta go fast!
I’m gonna sprinkle in some chat segments from the live watch that @miyukomatsuda and I did of the episode as it aired, but this is mostly my watch of the RiderTime sub.
(I’m also hoping to do a watch of some of the recent episodes again, but with the O-T subs, so that I can get a more… well phrased translation.)
As always, spoilers for Zi-O episode 37 below the cut.
~~~~~
So, a giant meteorite just hit. It doesn’t have a Rider inside this time, though! No, it has Worms! Shapeshifters! Who are basically the Zygons!
(I don’t go to Doctor Who anymore, but that’s what I’ve been told, and the impression I got from Marcosatsu’s History of Kabuto vid.)
Team 9-to-5 are watching a news broadcast at breakfast about the meteorite – aaaand nope, newscaster’s a Worm, much to the poor cameraman’s surprise.
Cressy: Woz: Welp! Found out who we’ve got this week!
Miyuko: “My turn to do things.”
Miyuko: “Also, we dealt with the gas leak.”
Miyuko: “We should all be sane again.”
(The idiot ball was in full force during the Kiva Arc. We will never let it rest.)
~~~~~
Sougo, Tsukuyomi, and Geiz are headed off to see where that second meteorite hit, the one with the worms on it, when a third one shoots down, in the other direction. So, off they go, splitting the party. Again.
Poor Geiz, he’s with Woz again. Who, by the way, is nowhere to be seen, having ditched the team to go do his recap.
At… the Hachiko statue.
Huh.
And the key player for this fortnight’s worth of episodes… Kamen Rider Gatack – Arata Kagami.
Who is clearly in a state of “Not this again...” as another meteorite streaks by. Or it could be that one that split the party, it’s a little hard to say.
~~~~~
They used part of the Kabuto opening – with the beetle wings – to cut into the OP this time! Nice touch!
I was host for the stream Miyuko and I did when we watched the Raw, and I BLINKED AND MISSED THE FORM RUN THROUGH that time! And here I pride myself on noticing differences in the OPs!
But Kamen Rider Woz’s base form has been replaced by his Ginga form, with the ‘base’ version, Ginga Finaly shown in full, and the Planet and Sun forms shown in bust form.
~~~~~
And FINALLY, they notice that the Another Rider’s aren’t erasing the previous Riders from history anymore! They haven’t been doing that for a while, guys. I mean, if they were still doing it, you wouldn’t have been able to have all of your senpai help you out in the movie last December… you know, shortly before you moved into having Future Riders for a while, and then back into the older Legend Riders.
You might write it off as ‘odd’, or ‘paradoxes have messed with space-time nearly beyond repair’, but I still say that time travel doesn’t work like you think it does.
I will hold my ‘they have been faking it’ theory until absolutely proven otherwise, folks.
…and I’m still going to be using it in ReUnited, anyway. ~Fanfiction land says I can do what I want.~
Besides, Sougo’s having fun! He’s getting to meet all of these Kamen Riders, after all!
…Sougo, kitty, I’m pretty sure you still don’t quite get how serious some of this is, but you get a solid B for effort.
~~~~~
Cressy: THEY FINALLY REALIZE THAT THEY AREN’T ERASING PEOPLE ANYMORE
Miyuko: YOU DUMBASSES
Miyuko: Mouri: DAMNIT SHIMOMIYA STOP MAKING ME HANDLE LORE
~~~~~
At the third landing site…
Woz. Woz you are so unbelievably petty. “I will be giving the orders around here, let’s go.” For crying out loud, Woz, just work as a team with Geiz, please.
So, off they go, into battle against a swarm of Worms using Faiz and Kikai!
~~~~~
Miyuko: if sougo goes to space i’m gonna yell that I called it
~~~~~
SOUGO IS SO DUMB.
SOUGO. You already knew that they could copy people. You SAW one do it on tv. So why would you assume that the people working at the crash site, where that broadcast came from, were normal humans?
Sougo, PLEASE.
Also, it looks like the Worms agree with me: right before they drop their disquises, they’re giving him this look like “Wow, this kid is dumb.”
And before Sougo bothers to transform, shots fly from off screen~!
Hey there, Gatack! Nice to see you’re doing okay!
~~~~~
Meanwhile, over with Woz and Geiz, we’ve got them landing finishers on a pair of Worms… but there’s still more of them. And, as Woz finally bothers to mention…
Worms can go faster than you can see when they get stronger.
(I agree with Geiz’s frustration at not having been told this sooner! WOZ!!)
Good thing they’ve got Revive Typhoon and Shinobi~~!
~~~~~
Back with Sougo and Kagami… They finish off a mass of Worms, but something red knocks them down.
Something – sorry, someone – that Kagami calls ‘Kageyama’.
Enter PunchHopper.
And with his entrance, Kagami goes into Gatack’s cast off Rider form – and right into Clock Up.
~~~~~
Cressy: “Hey, new kid, how fast can you go?”
Cressy: Actually, super speed is a problem for Sougo!
Miyuko: Sougo: UHHHHHHH
Miyuko: He has to hide
Cressy: Because he couldn’t keep up with Revive so
~~~~~
The battle starts to deal some collateral damage to the infrastructure, leading to rubble starting to fall towards a mother and child.
Tsukuyomi says no.
A stopwatch ticks.
The rubble freezes in midair, letting the civilians escape.
Tsukuyomi sees something.
Herself, younger, and three people facing away from the cameras viewpoint. At least one is an adult – presumably male, in an outfit that looks an awful lot like the one Swartz wore in 2009. The other two… I think the one to the left of the screen is a young girl, with pigtails. The one on the right looks to be an adult male… and it’s very grainy, but that style of dress looks like a black and white version of what Sougo’s uncle wears.
Of course, she only focuses in on young her and almost-definitely-Swartz.
Please, Toei, Shimomiya, I am begging you, do not let anyone be related. We’ve got both time travel and amnesia going on in here already, we do not want you to go that route!
~~~~~
Swartz sees this from a nearby roof, and notes that her powers are getting stronger, and soon they’ll completely awaken.
Someone asks what will happen when they do.
~~~~~
Miyuko: **YELLS**
Miyuko: TSUKASA
Cressy: Tsukasa: Sup.
Miyuko: WERE YOU OFF GETTING LAID TSUKASA
Cressy: Look at that posture
Cressy: Daiki showed up.
Cressy: he def was.
~~~~~
Tsukasa: “So… you’re connected to that girl somehow. I’ve been doing some investigating…”
Swartz: “Oh, yeah, sure. Do what you want… If you can.” (he says in an ominous tone, ominously.)
Tsukasa: “Thanks. I’ll do just that.”
~~~~~
Back on the ground, Sougo… is getting his ass handed to him. But! He does have the realization that the speed PunchHopper and Gatack are moving at is similar to Geiz Revive Typhoon… and he’s figured out a way to counter that.
It used to be that he was only looking one move ahead when he used Zi-O II’s precog abilities.
He’s looking ahead three here.
Sougo knows he won’t be able to react in time for the first two strikes, but the third…
On the third he can time a strike of his own.
And he knocks PunchHopper down.
Gatack tries to finish him off – but a red blur takes the hit.
Another Kabuto has made his appearance, and it looks like he’s Sou Yaguruma, former alias KickHopper. He grabs PunchHopper, and nyooms right on out of there.
~~~~~
Miyuko: OH FUCK IT’S ONE FO THE HOPPER BROS
Cressy: OH MY GOD ANOTHER KABUTO IS ONE OF THE HOPPER BROS
Miyuko: KAGAMIII
Cressy: OR A WORM OF ONE OF THEM
Miyuko: IS IT TIME FOR HIM TO SUFFER (We saw one was a worm
Miyuko: (shame we uh
Miyuko: (remember the rider sona
~~~~~
(Miyuko’s at least watched some Kabuto, but not very far. I, on the other hand, have seen exactly none, and would have no idea which one we saw in the cold open.)
~~~~~
Now then, we jump to Kagami explaining the situation to Woz and Sougo at the shop, giving them a basic run down of who the Hell Brothers are, along with showing them pictures. Pictures of the terribly dated late ‘00’s Hot Topic discount bin wardrobes that those two wore.
Kagami: So, the PunchHopper is definitely a Worm mimicking the original.
Woz: How can you know?
~~~~~
Miyuko: Woz intensifies
Miyuko: “Pretty sure he’s dead.”
Cressy: “So, yeah, he’s dead, but. uh. Apparently not anymore.”
Miyuko: “Fuck if I know, guys.”
Miyuko: Shibuya!
Miyuko: FLASHBACK TO KABUTO
Cressy: “Also, it’s really weird that Shibuya exists again.”
Miyuko: “Wait what”
Miyuko: Sougo: :)
Miyuko: Woz: “THE FUCK?!”
~~~~~
So, yeah, the timelines are a mess here. In 1999, in Kabuto, Shibuya was destroyed by a meteorite – one carrying the Worms. It’s … incredibly intact here.
OH. DUUUHHHH. That’s why Woz was at the Hachiko Statue!
It’s at Shibuya station.
WOW, I feel dumb. I remembered who Hachiko was, but didn’t catch the link as to why Woz would be there until just now.
Also, Sougo, I get that you were born in 2000, but. Like. That was only one year later. I thought your only decent subject was history! If this happened in the current timeline, you ought to know about it!
~~~~~
At an overlook, Geiz finds Tsukuyomi, having been told about her using her time powers again, and she tells him that she remembered something. Her mother and father, and ‘another man’.
… wait SHIT I said that the seated man’s outfit looked a lot like Junichiro’s, didn’t I? ABORT MISSION! NO, NO, NO! CALL IT OFF! STOP THE RIDE, I WANNA GET OFF!
Tsukasa appears on the scene. “Hey, so. Do you want to take a look and see what was going on back there? I’m trying to find the source of why the fabric of space and time is getting holes poked in it, so if you want to come along…”
… Okay, so he says ‘distorted,’ according to the RT subs, but it amounts to the same thing.
Geiz thinks this is a terrible idea, but Tsukuyomi wants to know who she is. So she goes with him.
Er, Tsuka- Tsukasa? I think you are a poster child for ‘sometimes you are better off not knowing who you used to be’, just as much as you are for ‘don’t lean too hard into the world-destruction prophecies.’ You may want to rethink your stance on this.
Mind you, you’re also a shining example of ‘there’s no escaping destiny’ and ‘you can’t thwart stage one’, so I guess that ship has already sailed.
~~~~~
Miyuko: TSUKASA’S UP TO THINGS
Cressy: Tsukasa: “GUYS, QUIT FUCKING WITH THE TIMELINE. YOU’RE MAKING MY JOB AND THE DENLINER CREW’S JOBS THAT MUCH HARDER”
~~~~~
So, a quick call between Geiz and Sougo, and we switch back to the Sougo and Woz team. (Man, we’re really getting the groups together this week, aren’t we?)
They’re confronted by Kageyama – who, yes, is a Worm. And he admits it. But he still has the original Kageyama’s memories as a human, and he wants them to help his brother. Worm or human, he can’t stand to see Yaguruma as an Another Rider – as a monster. They’ve seen too much hell for him to want any more.
Woz: My lord, this is clearly a trap.
Sougo: You need to start trusting people, Woz. Besides, we want to help save Yaguruma, too, don’t we? :)
Except that that is not his usual ‘This is going fine!’ smile. That is a smile of ‘he knows what’s going on.’
… You know, So Okuno’s really grown into his role, here. I think he’ll be able to do pretty well once he graduates from Sougo.
(He’s grown into his role, if not his clothing. Seriously, wardrobe department, could you let him wear clothes that fit properly? Why was this whole ‘everything is minimum a size and a half too big’ thing a decision?)
ANYWAY. THIS is a good scene for the instrumental of Toki no Ouja.
Also, you can hear the belts and chains Kageyama’s wearing well before you see them.
~~~~~
A quick interlude to Junichiro, back at the shop, having just fixed a radio. He goes to make sure it’s actually fixed, and turns it to the news.
There’s a large meteor headed for the center of Tokyo. And it’s much larger than the previous ones that have hit.
WAIT WHAT
(cue shot of said meteor in space)
~~~~~
Miyuko: OH MY GOD THEY ARE GOING TO SPACE
~~~~~
And now, to a totally-not-suspicious definitely-not-a-trap perfectly-harmless warehouse.
Sougo: So, Yaguruma’s supposed to be in here, right? (proceeds to walk in, with his back towards the guy who literally calls himself one of the Hell Brothers, like an idiot)
KAGEYAMA GOES TO STRANGLE HIM FROM BEHIND. BECAUSE OF COURSE HE DOES.
But he doesn’t get to – because Kagami bodychecks him away.
Kagami: “Kid, NO! You’re too naive! Walking into a trap like this!”
Kageyama: “Ahahaha… I mean, yeah, it’s a trap, but it’s not for the brat.”
Another Kabuto SLAMS into Kagami.
Kageyama: “We’re after you.”
Kagami and Kageyama both transform.

Oh my god. Turns out Woz’s attack is even more ridiculous than I’d thought. He’s allegedly channeling the gravity of 10,000 black holes, because that’s totally a thing that’s possible. … Meh, he’s got reinforcements from the armor, he’ll be fine.
Woz: Ah, yes, as expected of my overlord. Taking advantage of the enemies trap-
Sougo: Er, actually, I just wanted him to take me to Yaguruma. Now we just have to defeat the two of them. (goes to transform)
Everything starts to shake.
Oh, there’s that giant meteor!
Rider Time!
Zi-O! Fourze!
3! 2! 1! Fourze!
~~~~~
Miyuko: HE’S GOING TO
Miyuko: OH MY GOOOOD
Cressy: UCHUUU KITAAAAAAAAA
Miyuko: UCHUU IKUUUUU
Miyuko: Sougo pls
Cressy: FINE I’LL TAKE THE MESS UP
~~~~~
I mean, if it stops a GIANT METEOR FROM HITTING TOKYO? I don’t CARE if he gets the catchphrase wrong!
And it’s pretty close, anyway. Way better than his attempts at Ex-Aid’s and especially Build’s catchphrases.
~~~~~
Back to Gatack versus the Hell Brothers, who are soon joined by Woz.
Turns out, Yaguruma doesn’t care that Kageyama’s a Worm, since he’s the only one willing to be his partner.
After being tremendously outsped, and taking a few good blows, Woz unleashes an incredibly over-the-top finisher in the form of his Planetary Explosion. Yes, I know that’s not the actual name, but my computer’s autocorrect is a pain, and I’m not going to try typing out any of the forms that attacks real name can take. I don’t want to teach my computer that.
And there’s a huge explosion of flame, flames spreading across the floor… Woz gives a grandiose pair of quotes in a very Tendou style, down to the pointing. But a sound comes from ground zero of the attack.
A green suit drags itself into a standing position.
KickHopper: I don’t believe in the power of the universe… I only believe in the power of hell…
He lands a Rider Kick that Woz just manages to get a guard up in time to block. When Woz can look up… nobody’s there.
Geiz comes in… but none of the three returning characters are around anymore.
There is, however, a ‘message’. Someone’s left a package of instant bowl ramen, and a note, with one word.
“Hell.”
SO THAT’S NOT OMINOUS AS FUCK AT ALL.
~~~~~
Miyuko: “Wait, I’ve had this form one ep why am I being worfed”
Cressy: WELCOME TO BAD TIMES
Cressy: ON BOTH ENDS OF THE TIMELINE
~~~~~
A portal appears in the air, in 2058. Tsukuyomi and Tsukasa step out, to when she would have been 8 years old, into a ruined city.
With an incredibly ominous looking cloud front and thunderstorm off in the distance.
~~~~~
Back to 2019… Geiz… is in no position to do anything but leave the whole meteor thing to Sougo. A man in black, with copious chains, drags himself through the river below. “Did… someone laugh at me?”
Yaguruma, what are you doing there?
~~~~~
IT’S SPACE TIME!
Sougo’s ready! He can do this! He -
Did not realize how big that was actually going to be!
But he drills through the meteor with a Limit Time Break, shattering it… and also releasing a bunch of Worms that were in there into the vacuum of space.
Oh well.
Except that one wasn’t the real problem.
No, the real problem is that the grey meteor?
Is a pebble in comparison to the giant red one behind it.
Everything is very red in 2068.
~~~~~
Miyuko: THISISFINE
Miyuko: oh shit
Miyuko: IS THIS WHY THE EARTH IS FUCKED UP
Miyuko: SPAAACE
Miyuko: oh boy SOUGO PLS
Cressy: SOUGO BABBY
Miyuko: GEN WOULD BE SO PROUD
Cressy: DID YOU NOT REALIZE FROM HOW BIG IT SEEMED
Cressy: OBJECTS IN MIRROR-
Miyuko: HOLY SHIT
Miyuko: POSE
(He was pretty close, with the pose! It’s… probably easier in 0G, given Gens whole thing.)
Cressy: OH MY GOD HE DRILLED THROUGH A METEOR
Miyuko: OH NOOOOOOOO FUCK
Cressy: OH MY GOD THAT WAS A PEBBLE
Miyuko: OH NO OH NO OH NOOOOOOO
Miyuko: THIS IS WHY THE EARTH IS FUCKED IN 2068 ISN’T IT
Cressy: OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO FUCK UP THE PLANET
Cressy: IT’S REMNANTS ALL OVER AGAIN. I AM HAVING K.A. APPLEGATE FLASHBACKS HERE
Miyuko: WELL BOY FUCKING HOWDY WHAT A ZI O. -oh god PLEASE LET THE KABUTO WATCH GO TO KAGAMI. PLEASE
Miyuko: But Damn that was toei making it up to us from last week huh
Cressy: OH YES
Miyuko: GOOD USE OF RETURNING ACTORS.

SOUGO DRILLING A METEOR.
TSUKASA CAME BACK.
Cressy: Tsukasa: “It’s not technically spoilers if it’s your own past, right? Right. I could have used this sort of heads up.”
~~~~~
So! Yeah! We were! Basically just completely screaming after that!
This is a much better episode than the last two. Thank you, Mouri-san! THANK YOU!
