no bc i have to tell the story of asking Girl to prom. Is it a particularly interesting story? nah, not really, i didn't do anything big or special, but SHE FUCKING SAID YES so its worth something.
also it was really funny cuz like
i did it after auditions right. bc i knew shed be there and id be there and hey, the nerves could kind of cancel each other out a little right? and they did. a little. but i had my plan: id get her alone, in a moment when she wasnt talking to someone, id go "hey, Girl, i have something to ask you" except use her name obviously and then i'd go for it.
so the whole time at auditions im sitting next to my best friend (who knows everything and helped me make the plan) and my friend Fox (who knows nothing) and when Girl auditions my best friend nudges me and my heart is beating a thousand miles an hour
and then finally it was over and everyone was mingling and getting ready to leave and i was like okay this is my moment but she was talking to someone and then someone else and then someone else blah blah blah and i was waiting, literally sitting on the stage three feet away from her trying not to look like i was waiting, my friend sitting next to me and Fox next to her
friend keeps offering in a hushed tone to distract people talking to her but she never gets the chance even
finally Girl leaves the group shes talking to to grab her bag and i jump up and friend and Fox are still sitting on the stage watching me now and i say "hey, Girl, i have something to ask you" except use her name obviously and then i go for it????
idk i feel like i blacked out. i feel like there was a lot of nervously touching my neck and my hair. i said exactly the script: "well, listen, so, i really like you and i was wondering if you'd want to come to prom with me"
and she looked SHOCKED
there was this blinding moment of FUCK WHAT IS SHE GONNA SAY HOW DO I RESPOND TO EITHER ANSWER
and she said something with oh-my-god involved and some other things and then finally gets to the point and says "YES"
and then i am laughing shakily and she is and im pressing my hands over my mouth and shes all "oh my god im so excited oh my god when is it"
"april 14th" i say
and she's thanking me for asking and what i tried to say was "god no oh my god thank you for SAYING YES" but i dont think i got that out
and then she HUGGED ME ghiowjgiwjgojgwio
and then the large group of her friends who is at this point ready to go and possibly watching i have no idea are like "Girl come on" and shes like oh okay and smiles at me one last time before she leaves
and i return to my seat on the stage in fucking SHOCK my best friend is like YEE YEE YEE YEE LETS GO and Fox is just like what just happened? but yay??????
and then her group goes up the aisle to the back of the auditorium to leave and this is the cutest part i swear, her older sister, the drama club president and part of the group who i think were all carpooling, stopped to ask if the three of us needed rides and for the moment that they all stopped right at the door GIRL WAVED DOWN AT ME SO ADORABLY AND I WAVED BACK AT HER JWOGJIWGJWO
so yeah now im going to prom with, to put it briefly, the most wonderful and gorgeous in every way girl ive ever met. GJWOGJIOWJGIOWJGOKJEGOJGOWI YIPPEEE

19, 29 & 30 for the AO3 Wrapped questionnaire plz!
30 I've already done, but I'll do the other two!
19. What’s one pairing you want to explore next year?
I’ve got an AU (ageswap AU!) with Barb/Robin locked and loaded and in the chamber, and if I can just finish hashing out the fucking outline, you’re all going to hear about it. 
(Also, idk if I’ll end up writing it, but the possibility of Barb/Kali crossed my radar and I like it. The height difference alone would be hilarious and well worth the price of admission.)
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
There are a lot that I’m very proud of, but I was most recently reminded of this one, so I’m going to go with it. Unsurprisingly, because I (hopefully understandably) cannot shut up about this fic, this bad boy’s from the road goes ever on.
...
The little red Datsun hatchback that her parents paid for half of after they realised that, without anyone left to give her rides, Nancy’d have to borrow the station wagon, doesn’t much like the gravel drive leading in to the Byers’ old house. Nancy pulls up in front of the porch, flashing her headlights twice at the living room window. She waits for a few minutes, absently listening to Don Henley sing from the radio about a feeling in the air, the summer being out of reach. But the house stays dark and silent, no Mike bounding out the front door with the spare key Mrs. Byers always kept hanging in one of the sheds out back.
Nancy sighs, and turns the key in the ignition, killing the hatchback’s engine and the music with it. She gets out, stretching, and slams the door behind her before starting around behind the house. “Mike?”
Mike’s sitting on the back steps, his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. In the shadow of the house, it’s much cooler than in the sun, almost chilly now that evening’s creeping up on them. Nancy wraps her arms around herself, rubbing the gooseflesh that’s risen on her bare upper arms as she walks over to lean against the wall beside him. There’s a dry, almost musty smell from the trees that ring the property, a smell that reminds her they’ll start turning before too long. Fall’s looming over them all like a wave.
“People are going to start saying this place is haunted,” Nancy says, at last.
Mike huffs a sound that’s almost a laugh. “Maybe that’ll keep anybody from buying it.” He straightens up, halfheartedly tapping a hand against his knee. “We could spread it around that the kid who drowned in the quarry used to live here, that’s what half the town thinks anyway. I could cut some holes in a sheet…”
“You’d make a great Scooby-Doo villain,” Nancy says, and Mike deflates.
“I just don’t want some other family living in Will’s house,” he says, looking at the crumbling brick fireplace standing in the yard instead of Nancy. “That’ll mean they’re really gone.”
Nancy nods, pressing her lips together with a sigh.
“They’re not gone, though,” she says. “Just a little farther away.”
“Everybody says that,” Mike says, gloomily. “And then they all say how it’s natural for people to drift apart, when they grow up.”
“Well, I wouldn’t know,” Nancy says, a little sharper than she’d intended. “At least you can still talk to Will.”
Mike leans down, picks up a rock out of the grass, and throws it as hard as he can in the direction of the fireplace’s chimney. He and Nancy both watch it fall several feet short.
Mike leans over and starts picking through the grass for another rock. He doesn’t take his eyes off the chimney. “It just feels like everybody’s gone. Or going away. Nothing’s the same anymore.” He throws a second rock, with much less enthusiasm than the first.
Nancy nods, slowly, in agreement. Then she bends down and picks up a rock of her own, weighing it carefully in one hand before winding up and throwing it at the chimney.
She and Mike both watch it clatter off the brick and disappear into the overgrown grass.
“How is it that, every time we win, we lose somebody else?” Mike asks, and Nancy looks back at him. He’s still got his eyes on the toes of his sneakers, his shoulders tense like he’s ready for a fight, but the flush high on his cheeks and the slight waver in his voice make Nancy think he’s more likely to burst into tears than throw a punch. “Like, how is this fair? We saved the world! So why does it feel so – so shitty?”
Nancy bites her bottom lip. Her brother might be a brat and a pain – and he is, especially now that he’s a teenager – and he might have shot up like a weed over the last few months. But…he’s also still so little.
“Hey,” she says. “Budge over.”
Mike gives her a surly look, but finally, he does shuffle an inch or so to his left. Nancy sits beside him on the steps, forcing him over another couple of inches.
They sit like that, shoulder to shoulder and knee pressed against knee, sharing a little warmth as the shadows spill across the lawn and leach heat from the day.
...

peculiar taste| (m)
Words: 2.8k 
Pairing: Taehyung x Reader
Genre: Smut, Fluff, pwp
Summary: Unknowingly, you find out that your feet pics are roaming around twitter just to find out that your room mate runs the page. 
Warnings: FOOT STUFF, foot job ( idk if thats a thing), foot fetish
a/n:  There’s a lot of foot stuff so if that makes you uncomfortable then don’t read it. Btw if there’s other weird kinks/fetishes that you think a member would like just comment or message me. 
Twitter is a scary place, you never had it until your friend from work told you to download it because there’s funny memes. So when you downloaded it you were not surprised that there were weird foot pictures. See you were not one to shame someone who has weird fetishes but this was different. Oddly enough the picture had the same pedicure as you and the same tattoo on your ankle. Deciding to go on the page you notice there were pictures of your feet, the black heels you owned were there too. 
Is someone spying on you? There is a sudden noise from the kitchen and you jolt in fear, holding the phone close to you as you walk towards the noise. The fear disappears when you see your roommate slash friend Taehyung eating pickles from the jar. “ Hey, wanna go to the park? We can have a little picnic,” Taehyung munches the last part before putting it back in the fridge. “ What’s wrong?” He notices your worried face.
Shaking your head, not sure if you should tell him your worries. Taehyung would probably freak out more than you, he’ll probably call the FBI to install high tech cameras around the apartment. “ Nothing,” you smile. “ I’m down but I’m making the food. Last time you just packed onions and capri suns,” you move him aside to pull out bread to make sandwiches. 
He gives you his signature boxy smile, “ Sorry you don’t have an acquired taste,” he shrugs. 
---
When you guys get back from the park you immediately lay in your bed tired from all the running that Taehyung made you do. It was supposed to be a relaxing picnic, however Taehyung forced you to play tag with the children in the park. When you first met Taehyung you thought he was a quiet and stuck up person because of his emotionless face whenever he was sitting with people. But that all changed when you got to know him better, he was just a funny and weird person but in a good way. Needless to say you don’t ever want him to move out because he is just a fun person to have around.
The ping rings loudly on your phone, you get a message from your mom. You quickly text her back and then go on twitter to the foot fetish page to inspect it more. Maybe DM the person to see where they get these pics. Your eyes widen when you see a new picture that was uploaded a few minutes ago, your feet in your sandals that you just bought last week. Along with the picnic blanket that you use when you go to the park with Taehyung.
Jumping out of your bed you run to Taehyung’s room to demand answers from him, but he is currently playing Uno by himself. “ I’m trying to practice so I can win next time we play with Jungkook and Namjoon,” he places the green card down.
“ It’s Uno. The easiest game in the world, it was literally made for children,” you groan in frustration. Taehyung shrugs then goes back to his game and places the reverse card to the pile. “ That’s why I’m not here,” you shake your head. “ Why are my feet on a fetish page on twitter?”
His sharp eyes widen, you can’t tell if it’s due to shock or confusion. The brows are covered from his wavy black hair, lips parted in an ‘oh’ shape. “ Okay, don’t get mad. I have been posting you foot pics in exchange for money,” he puts his hands up when you throw his pillow at him. 
“ Taehyung! I can’t believe you,” you sigh. You became a renowned foot fetish star without any acknowledgment. What if people start to recognize you on the streets? Now you can never wear sandals.
“ I should’ve told you but I knew you were going to be against it,” Taehyung gets, ignoring the Uno cards and going up to you. His large hands come together holding them in front. “ If you want to take me to the police I understand. But make sure you feed the racoon that’s been secretly hiding in the garden shed,” he gives his puppy eyes. You can’t ever get mad at Taehyung, no matter what. It’s like he has this power that doesn’t make anyone upset.
Sighing, you gently push his hands down to his sides, “ I’m not turning you in,” you say. His remorse features immediately vanish, now becoming gleeful, as he engulfs you in a bear hug. If he’s getting paid you wonder how much he is making off of your feet. “ So how much money have you made so far?” The bed sinks as you sit down on it.
Taehyung's finger scratches his head, trying to remember how much the thirsty people on Twitter paid. “ Hmm, like a couple hundred. I’m saving the money so we can get a new tv.” 
The TV you guys had was found by Taehyung who was riding his bike around the neighborhood. An old man was giving it out and Taehyung called you excitedly asking you to bring your car so you can bring it back home. Upon your arrival you see an old blocky Sony tv that doesn’t even have an HDMI port. Taehyung convinced you that it was vintage and it would match the interior design of the apartment. “ Do people actually like that stuff ?” You ask while looking at your feet. What a weird thing to fetishize you think to yourself. 
Taehyung's hair floofs as he jumps back on the bed grabbing his phone that’s beside you. “ Yes. A lot of people,” he quickly unlocks his phone. “ Look, this man was willing to pay sixty dollars for you to have a foot massage,” you look at the DM. “ There’s also other requests. Like you wearing heels, stockings, and other weird things,” he shrugs putting his phone away.
People pay money for this, and you guys do need some money. It wouldn’t hurt to have a little extra cash for stuff. No one is ever gonna find out that it’s your feet. “ Let’s keep doing it,” you look at Taehyung, whose eyes widen at your words. 
“ Really?” Taehyung asked in a serious tone. Wanting to make sure that you actually want to do it not because of his stupid mistake.
“ Yeah, it would be nice to have extra cash,” you nod your head.
----
“ This feels really weird,” you flinch at the stickiness of the honey pouring on your feet. Taehyung makes a hand motion for you to keep pouring it as he films it on his phone. Your face is not in view so no one can see the weird faces you're making as the stickiness goes in between your toes. Just another weird request from a person. This guy is paying sixty dollars for this, so who cares that you are pouring honey on your feet.
Taehyung nods and gives the okay sign, ending the video. “ I feel bad that the bees are dying and we are wasting their precious honey on your feet,” he pouts before leaving to retrieve a wet towel. He tosses it to you so you can wipe the honey off before walking on the floor. 
The wet towel doesn’t help much so you decide to wash it. “ Yeah, we should visit the bee sanctuary to give our condolences,” you joke as you run to the bathtub to wash your feet with soap. 
“ That would be nice,” Taehyung smiles watching you wash your feet. He hears you laugh, “ Oh you were kidding,” he laughs along with you. The phone pings and he grabs it from his back pocket, looking at the DM’s. ***800 dollar request *** Taehyung reads loudly, eyes widening at the words. He reads the request to himself, heart beating fast because this is actually a sexual request. Also because this is the most someone is willing to spend on a video. For the past month it's only been under the hundreds that people spent on your feet.
Your voice startles him, “ What are they asking for you?” Turning off the faucet you give your undivided attention to him. 
Taehyung gulps then scratches the back of his neck, “ Uh- he wants you to use your feet to fondle someone’s dick,” he coughs at the end. There’s a silence that washes over you guys. “ Yeah,  I can just decline-”
“ Would I be fondling you?,” you ask. Taehyung tucks his phone back in his pocket then sits next to you. 
Taehyung puts his hand on your shoulder, his eyes are looking at you seriously. “ We don't have to do this.” 
 It’s 800 hundred dollars that you guys would be missing out on.“ I want to do it. Our faces won’t be showing, right?”  You really don’t mind just as long as Taehyung is comfortable doing it with you.
Taehyung exhales, nodding his head, “ Yeah no faces.” His heart beats faster as he looks at your feet.
***
“ Let me wash my feet one more time,” you go get up to use the bathroom one more time. Taehyung tugs you back down the bed. 
“ You already did it twice before you came to my room,” he lets out a chuckle. “ Don’t be nervous,” he sits on his chair. He grabs your foot gently placing it on his thigh. Large hands rubbing your ankle to calm you down. “ I’ll give you a foot massage and we’ll go from there,” he says softly. There’s a different mood between the two of you. It’s not like the usual playful mood that you guys have. It's heavier, if that makes sense.
Nodding your head, his big hands rub your feet. Rolling out any tension on the center of your foot, you sigh not used to this kind of attention in that area. His hands are like magic making all the stress on your foot disappear. At one point you close your eyes in relaxation feeling your body get lighter. Immediately your eyes open when you feel lips kissing your ankle, his soft lips leave a few more kisses as your eyes meet his dark eyes. Looking down you see a hard on “ Taehyung,” you whisper. He puts your foot back on his thigh, “ Should I start recording?,” you ask. Your hands shake, bringing his phone into your hands. 
Taehyung lets out a quiet hum, indicating for you to do so. You hold the phone tightly, pressing the record button. Last night you did some research looking at feet groping and you feel kind of confident. Hopefully, you don’t embarrass yourself or make Taehyung immediately walk out of the room. Your right foot teasingly goes up and down his thigh, looking carefully at Taehyung’s reaction. He lets out a groan when you get close to his bulge but goes to the other thigh doing the same action as before.
“ Baby please,” Taehyung's voice is hoarse. The pet name surprises you in a good way but you quickly remind yourself that he is only calling you that so your name won’t be exposed. His hand goes to your leg, running his fingers against your calf. Listening to his request you trail your foot to his bulge, lightly brushing the tip of your toes. He lets out a breathy exhale, looking down at your foot taunting him. 
You never thought you’d be into this, maybe it is the position. There’s some kind of power you hold as you get to dictate whether you should make him feel pleasure by the pressure of your foot. The way Taehyung’s breath quickens when you apply more pressure, his eyes giving you a sultry look. Your foot applies more pressure, toes spreading feeling the outline of his bulge. Doing slow circles, trying to feel more of him. His hand tightens on your leg, “ Fuck, right there,” Taehyung closes his eyes for a quick second. The hardness of his cock turns you on, you feel the thickness of it beneath your foot and you know he probably has a big cock. 
“ Does my foot feel good, baby?” You condescendly ask. His eyes look into yours surprise of your tone and question. His jaw clenching, looking hot and bothered, a new look that you want to store in your memory. “ Look at you getting turned on just by my foot,” you tsk in disappointment. Applying more pressure you arch your eyebrow still expecting an answer from him.
Taehyung hisses in pleasure, “ Yeah, your foot feels good,” he tosses his head when you rub your foot harder up and down his clothed cock. “ It feels to fucking good,” he whispers more to himself.
“ Take your cock for me baby,” you command him. Taehyung gives you a face of relief immediately taking his cock out of his pants and briefs. And you were right about his cock being thick and big. Now you just want to feel it in your hands and your mouth, actually everywhere. The precum is leaking, begging to be touched. The heel of your foot meets his hard cock, and he flinches but then immediately going back to your touch. “ Spit on it,” you look down, indicating Taehyung to spit on his cock.
He groans loud at your assertion, not used to this. Taehyung never sees this side of you, having a higher authority. You're usually compliant and listen to whatever he wants to do. He follows your words, spitting on his cock, as he watches your two feet come together cupping the thickness of his cock. Jerking him up and down.“ Shit shit,” he curses at himself for wanting to come right now.
“ It’s not even my pussy and you're already a moaning mess,” you chuckle to yourself. His eyes are downcast to the slow movement of your feet. The small breathy moans are getting louder, and you love the sound of it. 
If your feet are this good he can’t imagine what your pussy would feel like. He wants to desperately ask if he can fuck it later but he puts his thoughts away trying not to moan your name loudly. The movements get faster and he thinks this is the fastest time he has ever come. “ I’m going to come baby. Can I come please?”  He looks up at your face, and notices a dark gaze, and he wants to kiss the evil smirk off your face.
You wouldn’t be surprised if you creamed your pants right now at the sight of his begging and climaxing. “ Mmm, so soon?” You teasingly ask. Taehyung shamelessly nods, his hands clenching at nothing. “ Come all over my feet dirty boy,” your eyes watch carefully at his pretty bottom lip getting bitten by his teeth.
Before you know it Taehyung is tossing his head back, “ Fuck,” he lets out a loud drawl. His head Adam apple is bobbing and his pretty collar bones are getting more exposed. White spurts all over your feet and you keep fondling him until he holds your ankle in place. He finally looks down at the mess he made, surprised at how much he come.
You stop recording, placing the phone down the bed. There’s a towel next to you, you pull your feet towards you wiping the come off your feet. “ Can you kiss me?” Your head snaps to Taehyung’s question. His eyes don’t have the same lustful gaze but some hint of fondness. 
Nodding your head, you are about to kiss him until you realize that you ate sushi about an hour ago. Fearing that he probably can taste it from your mouth you pull back shaking your head. “ Let me brush my teeth real quick,” you try to walk to the bathroom. Until Taehyung laughs brightly pulling you back and pecking your lips softly.
The kiss makes you swoon and want to kiss him more but he pulls away too soon. “ Why did you want to kiss me?” You ask him not wanting to get your hopes high. But your heart is already beating hard because it’s Taehyung who kissed you.
“ I like you,” Taehyung shrugs nonchalantly. “ Why did you agree to kiss me?” He asks you while holding your hand.
“ I like you,” you do the same gesture as him. Taehyung smiles and leans towards your lips and you clothes your eyes expecting a kiss until you feel him push you back. Opening your eyes you see him pull his shirt over his head, and you're surprised to his slightly defined chest and v line. 
“ Even when I annoy you and cause nothing but trouble for you?” Taehyung looks down at you biting his bottom lip, a nervous tick he has.
You smile bringing his large hand down, pecking it lightly, “ That’s the best part though,” then pulling him down to kiss him.

Now now, we all know how Bucky's been in love with Steve (and known about his feelings) his whole life, but what about Steve? I've always swayed towards the theory 'Steve's been in love with Bucky his whole life as well, he only realised after Bucky fell from the train', but what if Steve's known he's in love with Bucky since their Brooklyn days? That would shed an entirely different light on his interactions with Miss Nazis Hirer and the whole 'right partner' talk
Going by canon, I think there must've been either: a declaration of mutual feelings, or; the first foray into a sexual relationship in their late teens, because one of Bucky's trigger words was 'seventeen', and Steve said he felt like a 16 year old again when he heard Bucky's name.
What's interesting is, at that time, and especially in that place*, there wasn't the idea that gay sex acts made you gay, because there were loads of 'straight' men around (eg. sailors.) going with other men just for sex. This was pre pill, pre sex-before-marriage for most, especially for Catholics like Steve.
So it might be that Bucky and Steve were doing the do with each other looong before either of them came to the realisation that they were also, coincidentally, in love.
I agree that Bucky, simply because he's exposed to dating women more than Steve is, has more of an opportunity to Realise before Steve. He'd have the benefit of being able to contrast his experience of feelings with Steve, with his experience of feelings for others, leading him to a lightbulb moment.
And he'd cover this up (and keep up the pretense of believing both he and Steve are really straight) by going out with girls in the meantime; in a period-appropriate gentlemanly way, not bedding them. Also to protect him and Steve from any potentially dangerous accusations.
I don't see Steve as not knowing precisely that he is in love with Bucky; I think he knew before the events of CATFA started, and it was a big part of his motivation for wanting to go to war.
But I do think it hadn't occurred to Steve that he might only be attracted to Bucky / men until after he got serum -- because, before then, his health would've been a limiting factor.
Before then, I can see him thinking 'well it's no wonder I have no libido like Bucky does around women, I'm just too unwell!' and not connecting the dots.
This would explain why he seems so panicked when sexual situations arise with women, after the serum; because he's realising 'oh shit! actually, I don't even like this when I have Perfect Health!' and hastily trying to backpedal himself out of an unwanted situation.
My HC is both of them thinking they're the only male-attracted one in the relationship and they're just engaging in sex acts together for convenience' sake but the other one's only going to keep doing it until he can get a girl.
So when Steve shows up all heterosexual-passing, looking like he can get any girl he wants, Bucky looks devastated because he thinks that signals the end of his physical (in his head unrequited romantic) relationship with Steve.
(But then between Peggy showing up and he and Steve going to the Continent together with the Howlies, Bucky mysteriously seems to perk up!)
By which point Steve, with his strong moral instincts and anti-Fascism, has come to the conclusion that if he's a physically perfect man, and he's still in love with and attracted to Bucky, then there must by definition be nothing wrong with feeling physically attracted to Bucky.
IDK if it makes it better or worse to imagine that they finally confessed to each other before the fall?
Maybe it'd be nice if they saved that for Post-WS, especially since Bucky might be then in even more doubt as to Steve's feelings for him. It's a common choice in fic for a reason!
There are two ways to read the 'right partner' talk Steve has with Peggy.
One is:
Steve's a straight man acting like an incel and attempting to pull pick-up artist tricks on Peggy which don't work, because she's not interested in him, and so doesn't take the bait (we only don't notice he's being a creep because Cevans and HA play it as benign, and because the writers, being themselves douchebags, don't realise what they've written; and probably wouldn't care even if they did.)
Two is: (particularly egregious if you flip the genders and imagine a woman saying this to a man) 
Steve going out of his way to make it clear that he doesn't want to date, isn't interested in dating right now, while there's a war on, and finds women terrifying. 
And yet as soon as he's fuckable, Peggy pulls a 180 and starts claiming she always liked him as he was, despite the fact that her actions directly disprove this; she didn’t ask him out when she had the chance and the encouragement. 
Naturally, her arrogance leads her to the immediate assumption that if Steve is waiting for The One, then she must be the One to whom he was referring. 
The fact that his wording either means he’s already found the One and is waiting for them, OR that he hasn’t met them yet, both exclude her from the running (since he’s known her a week) is...  immaterial. She never asks if he has his eye on someone, does she? Would Steve being already married stop her? 
(You don’t say ‘I don’t want to date because I’m waiting for the One’ to the person who IS the One, or whom you suspect may be the One. This ain’t rocket science!) 
And hey, did you notice, that Peggy is just so important and special and perfect that her sudden interest in Steve means that Steve's stated wishes are now irrelevant? 
The staggering hubris of waltzing up to him to go ‘hey, by the way, one day... when all this is over... I will allow you to date me.’ 😘😌 
Too bad he didn’t ask! 
The fact that Steve explicitly told her he isn't interested in dating and didn’t specify he’d be interested in her is invalidated by his new looks and her desire. 
Sheesh. These Carter girls sure are rapey as hell.
(Also, in characteristic NOT-A-FEMINIST Peggy Style, the first thing she does upon seeing Big Steve is yank a t shirt out of the hands of a waiting nurse, because Saint Poppins is apparently so good at everything without training or experience that she can do nursing better than an actual nurse, too? (Could be she's also being characteristically territorial, pissing a circle round her chosen prey.) While simultaneously, out of nowhere, affecting a  dumb ‘oh I’m so soft-and-feminine’ voice she didn’t have before?? Does that sounds like someone Steve ‘son of a nurse’ Rogers would admire? UGH.)
The irony of all this is ^ you can read Steve as 100% gay and not have to change a single piece of his characterisation or interactions with women at any point.
I've touched on this in other asks, but:
He never asks Peggy out when he has the opportunity; only when he knows it's too late and he won't be expected to follow through (due to him being dead.)
He never makes a move on any of the chorus girls or his female fans (no matter what those creeps M&M claim). Or Private Lorraine. Or Nat. He has to be nagged to make one on Sharon (while Peggy's body's barely had time to cool, and looks fine about never seeing her again lol!) But he goes out of his way to befriend Sam, and waay out of his way to get Bucky back.
Throughout all his films he's consistently assaulted by women, even friends, and never looks happy about it; he also never looks upset when he's rejected or cut off from women love interests, or when he's able to dodge flirting (by, eg. jumping out of a frickin' plane!?)
It's 'his choice', in his own words.
He seems his happiest with women in platonic situations, and only sad about them when it's a question of a shirked duty, a bereavement, or him feeling he's let them down; eg. when Nat dies, when his mother dies, when he's unable to deliver a promised dance to Peggy, etc.
(But it makes people uncomfortable to address this since many of his fans are female.)
But even marrying a woman (albeit the most OOC choice it's physically possible for a Captain America to make, not to mention that it involves abandoning our-Bucky alone in the future). It doesn't preclude Steve from being gay, since lavender marriages were hella common (doubly so for famous gay men).
He could be gay and still in a relationship with Bucky, and married to Peggy. I mean, he's guaranteed a wife who'll spend most of the time away at work, able to use her connections to squash any inconvenient press; and unable to out him or Bucky without ruining her own prestige. Perfect!
Still makes EG Steve a douchebag tho. 😒
.
*we know they frequented north Brooklyn, because Steve said 'I know this neighborhood!' while the Brooklyn Bridge was in sight behind him; but, they got the street angle wrong, cuz they made it look like the BKB has a street which looks right at it, when in fact the street with that famous view is of the Manhattan Bridge. The places Steve describes being beat up; a parking lot, alleyway, and diner, are also all places you'd go while you're Out, rather than where you live. So IMO Steve and Bucky lived somewhere near DUMBO, but not so far east that their view was of the Manhattan Bridge; either Brooklyn Heights or Downtown. So that puts them right in the heart of Gay Brooklyn (as in, Truman Capote had a house there, because Walt Whitman wrote a famous poem about there; that level of gay), next to the Navy Yard and Sands Street (gay cruising central) and they also frequented gay cruising mecca Coney Island (big burlesque hot spot).

hi love im deep in ur art blog for reasons and im SO in love with the fact that ur ghoul has his OWN nickname tattooed on him in party's writing they are SO 🥺 was wondering if you wanted to talk a bit more abt ghouls tattoos??? theyre just SO gorgeous and intricately laid out
HI i LOVE u i am KISSING u i would love love love to talk about ghoul’s tattoos 🥺❤️
^ yeah ghoul & party have each other’s handwriting tattooed!! for party it’s one of the only tattoos they have & it’s right over their heart (im sure ive mentioned this fact before but idk if ive explicitly noted that it says ‘sunshine’) and ghoul didn’t have the space to put his right over his heart because poison’s kj symbol is there so his is on his upper arm (they ARE soooooooo 🥺 i love them)
ghoul’s tattoos are a healthy mix of sentimental ink and things he just thought were beautiful. when he met the rest of the four he didn’t have THAT many tattoos because 1. he was 14 2. he’d only been in the zones for a little under a year and a half at that point but the ones he DID have (aka his oldest tattoos) were his knuckle tattoos (‘freed’ and ‘fuck’ what can i say he was 13), the big raven on his upper shoulder and neck (he started believing in the witch very early compared to other cityborns but yeah that tattoo was both a way of symbolizing his devotion to the witch and a way of marking himself as a killjoy/shedding his past in the city in the way that he considered clearest), the fangs on his hand, two bats on his leg, the zombie bite on the other side of his neck (i could get a little more into this but BASICALLY ghoul being an ex-crow trainee + a cityborn + being the only surviving member of his first crew had a problem with feeling inhuman and a lot of survivor’s guilt and so he really. idk he connected a lot with zombies & frankenstein’s monster and ghosts & the like when he was a runner for dr. d post-his crew’s deaths. he got better about Seeing Himself as a Person especially once kobra + the other two showed up but the fascination remained) (also not tattoo-related but that’s when he chose his name. before that he’d been called ‘sandpup’ by his old crew & he never had a chance to tell them before they passed but he really loved that they used that as a name for him especially with how much he didn’t want to associate himself with the city) (ghoul had A Lot of issues but the difference there is that he worked thru them a lot earlier than the rest of the four) and “I FORGIVE U” on the back of his neck (in remembrance of said former crew).
umm along with that kind of fascination with the undead/feeling that kind of connection are the frankenstein stitches on his wrists (tho thats more of a common hc) and he has this pretty big tattoo of abstracted bones following his vertebrae down his throat and chest that he’s gotten expanded/fixed/touched up over the years. ik i do a lot of b&w doodles but i feel like i’ve been kind of inconsistent about coloring (most of his tattoos are color). pretty sure ive mostly drawn them in green (???) but in my head they’re like a faded light blue using natural skin tone as highlights.
his more sentimental tattoos…let me see if i can outline them here. this might not be exhaustive but i will do my best to list what ive figured out at least thus far:
the two little bats on his right thigh are for his grandmother and little sister. his sister (juliet adele fujikawa, b. april 2009 d. december 2014) was killed in a car crash shortly before he left the city, and likewise, his grandmother (charlotte fujikawa [藤川 千尋] b. june 1936 d. december 2014) was “moved to retirement housing” at about the same time. that was pretty much the last straw & ghoul left battery city within the week
there’s his crewmates’ symbols on his chest (in order from his right to left: kobra, jet, party) (gotten when their crew had been together for a while. dating this one is based on a couple things: 1. ghoul had been with them for long enough that he felt secure 2. poison and ghoul were friends by this point, or else he wouldn’t have included their symbol and 3. poison’s is over his heart so you can read into that as you will)
text from the graffiti bible on his right calf, as protection for his crew & as a reminder of one of his former friends who was a droid that believed very strongly in destroya’s return
his raygun on his chest (he was pretty proud of the design! this was when he was ~15 or 16) that he had poison’s added to post-sing post-engagement pre-commitment ceremony (so. september 2023) (yes i have my handwritten timeline + my own drawings + my fics out in front of me rn cross-referencing sldkdksksbx!)
one of the girl’s childhood drawings (one she drew of him & her & the stuffed animal he made for her when she was a baby all having a tea party together) from when she’s about 5 or so on his right hip (december 2022 or so)
shooting stars on his upper right shoulder, partially because they’re pretty and blend well with his other tattoos and partially because they’re a reminder of a lot of things, including but not limited to his first night out in the zones seeing the stars for the first time, stories his grandma used to tell him, and right when he’d first joined the fab four and him & kobra sat on the roof during a meteor shower
besides the other one i already mentioned ^ he has more of poison’s handwriting on his left inner forearm — this is also one ive mentioned before but once they’ve been in a relationship for a while they get into the habit of leaving little love notes around for each other! there’s nothing particularly special specifically about the one he got tattooed, besides the fact that it reminded him of poison and they love each other. the text in full (which i don’t think ive ever put anywhere, though im pretty sure ive put fragments of it in fics and art) is as follows:
Good Morning baby <3! I needed new paints, went on a run. Kobra has the Girl @ the Crash Track, Jet’s at the station. call me when you wake up! I love you, be back soon. XO Party <3
he also has the anniversaries of when they started dating and their commitment ceremony (03•03•21 and 10•26•23 respectively) on the inside of his right wrist ^ !
he’s got a snake wrapping around his left leg that kobra picked out and a hand of cards with the ace of spades face up that jet picked out (and these ofc are because they remind him of his crewmates!!)
he has the phoenix witch tattooed on his ribs, left side, styled vaguely after catholic saints (since that imagery can still be found in the inner zones & especially where ‘joys who still practice that religion gather!)
there’s a version of the eye from the mailbox on his right shoulder, and this one is also a sort of symbol of protection/good luck, to show devotion to the witch and to help protect himself and his crew
the constellation libra on his left forearm! this one was done a little while after he started running transmissions and supplies for dr. d! he liked the connection that astrology — whether he believed in the practice or not is up for debate — gave people to the stars, and the feeling that he had a place in the universe, predestined or not
after charlie is born, he gets a portrait of her (~age 4) with her name and birthday underneath done on his left thigh! (~2036)
and on his lower back, he has a fairly simple tattoo of two crows on a wire with their beaks pressed together (aughhhhhh romance) that he gets done as an anniversary surprise for their 10-year (so. 2033)!
his non-sentimental tattoos are largely based off of images from books, either from dr. d’s collection when he was working as a runner for him or from cherri’s after he joined up with the fab four, or else they’re naturally occurring in the zones!! this includes but is not limited to: california golden poppies on the back of his left shoulder, strawberries around his left bicep (he doesn’t ever have a strawberry until he’s like 35, this one is absolutely based off of a particularly pretty illustration), a thundercloud with lightning on his left elbow, a moon on his right inner bicep, a ring of thorns around his right forearm right under the elbow, a dagger on his inner left calf, and a sun, small bat, cross, rose, ribbon (with the word ‘faith’ in script), and wing on his right forearm and hand, all picked from flash sheets
so yeah! that’s about everything i have to say about ghoul’s tattoos atm but ty ty ty sm for letting me ramble abt them i think about his tattoos so much 😔❤️

B, K, R for the ask meme!!
ooo hello hello dear thank u so much!!
send me fic writing asks from this list!
B:  What was the first fandom you read fic in?  Which was the first you wrote fic for?
ahhh throwback lmaooo i first read and wrote fic for the phandom (dan and phil phandom lmao i know there's a few of those) this is weird to say when most people my age grew up with fandom from like ages 12-13, but i really didn't get much into fandom until i was out of college?? i did follow a few people who posted stuff about doctor who when i was like...a freshman in college or so and i'd just started watching the show, but i really didn't even know that fic was a thing at the time? which like. really that sounds so bizarre looking back lmao
but yeah! dan and phil phandom for both!
K:  Do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?
slkdfjlkdsf i feel like any time i see the term 'guilty pleasures' i have to clarify that i like. don't feel guilt in any capacity for enjoying these things? it's more just like. this is stuff i probably don't mention or talk about much? of which i would say ovipos (when it's not tied to eggpreg) thank u zhongli for awakening that one lmao. and probably mermaids when i come across an intriguing fic with that as a premise? on the less spicy side, i do love a good truth serum/forced admission of feelings, esp if it's tied to enemies/rivals lmao. close contenders depending on the context are probably aphrodisiac/fuck or die/sex pollen and tentacles
R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?
oh wow this is a really good one sdfkjsdfjl and tbh i'd probably be very hard-pressed to take apart my writing style itself and trace it back to certain authors/writers? i cut my teeth on first person pov, which i could probably owe back to some of the books i was a big fan of (first thing that comes to mind is 'shatter me' by tahereh mafi). i think that overall the slew of ya novels i read when i was younger probably had a pretty healthy influence on my writing style? i'm super picky nowadays with the kinds of writing styles i enjoy reading (both in books and in fic) but i was definitely always drawn to books that focused more heavily on emotions and reactions and internal motivations, so ultimately i probably sought out more of that and it played into the kinds of ways i prefer to write. i'd also have to call out rose as an influence which she's hardly on tumblr nowadays so she won't see it lmao but her writing is absolutely what i'd call poetic and evocative and i think she has introduced me over time to a lot of writing styles i might otherwise not have sought out/seen. i also think often of a dan and phil fic i read many many moons ago (x) that really sticks with me and comes to mind now and again, specifically for this:
THE END.
(For you, that is. For me and Phil? This wasn’t the end, nor was it the beginning. It was just another moment, just somewhere in the middle. Just one peak of happiness in a mountain range. Just a minute of soft light and a minute of peace. Just a minute of conviviality, of just the two of us as one. Of love. This wasn’t the end of the story, and this wasn’t where happiness began. It was us. It was now.)
idk something about this like, clings to me stubbornly even years upon years after i first read it. it serves as a reminder of multiple things for me personally, including the idea that the story i'm writing isn't (and shouldn't be!) the entire story that exists out there - it's just a fragment of time that i've shed light on and shared. it's the freedom to make a story exactly what i want it to be, to tell everything i want to tell and nothing more, nothing less. to (much to my worldbuilder friend's chagrin) not worry about the structure and workings of the entire monumental universe surrounding that story, and to better know and understand when and how i want something to end
send me fic writing asks from this list!

Hi!! Saw that promp list you reblogged, so I'm shooting my shot for Nina + Matthias with this one: 'Learning what the other person likes sexually' thank you 😊
(Also...idk if you'd accept 1 or 2 more requests for this otp? Loved the prompts but I dont wanna spam your inbox. 😜)
I kinda love them... obvious smut ahead and also on ao3.
She’s broken him. He’s not sure how much he minds.
Look, objectively the fact that he is stuck in the frozen middle of nowhere and owes his continued survival to a witch who will not shut up and seduced him more out of boredom than anything that seems like actual desire on her part is… almost all of his worst nightmares come true. But all of that established and ignored, Nina is not the worst possible person to be stuck with. She’s beautiful, occasionally funny in a way that breaks the cultural barriers between them, knows what she wants…
They’ve stopped for the night, no closer to civilization than they were when they woke up but not going around in circles yet – and he’s left subtle markings at each fishing hut they’ve temporarily occupied, he would know – and he knows what happens next, and this time he wants to do better.
Nina is, he has learned over the past few days, a very particular combination of insatiable and bossy. When she decides she wants, and apparently physical activities are how she deals with her everything, she makes herself very clear and pins him to whatever passes for a bed wherever they are. (Or, very briefly yesterday, a wall.) And while Matthias is a willing enough participant in his own corruption, he can’t push away the feeling that the power dynamic is the truly wrong thing here. A man is not supposed to be passive, even when faced with… all of that. But as it is, he’s not sure he’ll get the chance to change it up.
And sure enough, after an improvised meal of probably-undercooked fish, she reaches out. Puts her mouth on his and starts taking kisses, and he’s so powerless and so into it and-
“Stop,” he breathes, unsure if the word even comes out.
To his great surprise, she freezes. She’s still clinging to him, but not actively doing anything more. “You okay? Did I do something-“
“You need to rest,” he murmurs, adding a little endearment in his native language. Yep, she’s definitely corrupted him. “If you want, let me give.”
Nina rolls her eyes. “Are you sure?!”
“I need to learn how to do this… properly.”
The look on her face is the most amused horror he’s ever seen and oh he almost loves her for it. “I am not passive. You do realize that, right?”
“You don’t have to be. I don’t know… tell me what to do.”
She takes a step back. “Alright. How detailed instructions do you want?”
“Tell me how to make you happy.”
Nina takes another step back and shifts her body into an open position. “Alright. Undress me. You’ve seen how all of this works…”
He has, and he steps forward and tries. The buttons of her vest are so tiny, and of course she’d done up all of them, and it takes a frighteningly long time for his fingers to get them all undone. Then her shirt, also made challenging with the laces done up too tight and oh the sight of her curves underneath it is distracting and unfair and-
Somehow, he figures out all the knots and gets it off her, gets rewarded with the sight of her soft skin and pointy breasts. Even this would be enough, and he-
“Put your mouth… somewhere.”
If nothing else, Matthias is good at following orders. Even if they are given by a… no, at this point he doesn’t think she’s a witch. Not like he was taught to believe. Definitely not normal, but far more human than he expected.
Not that it matters, he reminds himself as he leans down and tries to kiss her breasts. She’s even paler there than she is elsewhere, and her body is warm and unfair. She squirms a little, but the noises she makes are happy enough and she hasn’t yelled at him so he’s hopefully not screwing this up too badly and-
On instinct, he puts his mouth around one of her nipples and licks, and her noises turn closer to what she apparently sounds like in bliss. He’s still learning how that works, but if this helps get her there…
“Okay, I was just going to have you straight-up fuck me but nevermind you’re actually good with your mouth,” she says, yanking on his hair to pull him up and off. “This still…?”
“Yes. Keep showing me.”
“I’m not showing you, I’m trying to un-repress you,” she laughs. “Undo my skirt and get me on the bed.”
He does, and without being told he knows what she wants next. Well, this may be the strangest experience yet with her, but…
The space between her thighs is beautiful, swollen pink instead of ivory, already shiny with her warmth. He pokes around with his fingers – this, at least, she has let him do before – and makes a plan. If he’s wrong then he’s wrong and he still expects she’ll get mad at him at some point during this, but until then he-
“Head. Down. Now.” From this angle she looks magnificent, and he can see her desperation in a different way. “Keep going unless I grab your ear, no matter what else I do.”
In the recent past, in the time before she happened to him, all of this was foreign to him. It was, and remains, improper for a man of his status to know too much about the sacred beauty of women before marrying one. In that way he is ruined now, and he cannot imagine any of this being so good with some equally innocent creature. This one is so much better. This one is-
She kicks his shoulder, more out of annoyance than wanting to hurt. “I know I’m cute but get on with it.”
He complies, pressing his mouth to her outer petals. He is well aware he has too much scruff right now, and that might hurt where she’s sensitive… no, might hurt some lesser woman, won’t make this one bat an eyelash. Nina is different and Nina is herself. And she is perfect, he thinks as instinct takes over and he starts to lick. Beautiful wet nightmare.
This is a first attempt, not perfection. His desire to make her happy counts for something, he hopes as he tries different things, because that’s about the only part of this in his favor. This act she’s suggested is so new, something he’s surprised she even wants, and to have his world reduced to her womanly parts is… perfect for him, honestly. He is aware of his own body responding to it, but she hasn’t asked for that yet and maybe she won’t tonight and-
As he is learning is normal for her, Nina falls apart with a few breathless noises. Apparently this also includes clenching her thighs tight enough his head hurts and more of her sweet warmth dripping onto his tongue. For a moment he’s not sure he can breathe either, and-
The pressure lessens and instead of grabbing his ear like she said, she pulls him up to her level by the shoulders.
“Did I… please you?”
She rolls over to cover his face in wet kisses. “You need to have more faith in your abilities. That was nice.”
“What… what now?”
“Do you still want to have me?” she asks, putting her hand between his legs.
As if that’s a question. Matthias has been able to ignore his own body until now, but the slightest touch makes him squirm and he’s still fully dressed and she is unfair and-
“Always,” he breathes. Might as well admit it. “Is that alright? You already…”
“Great thing about having the parts I do is I can fall apart multiple times,” she shrugs like that should be too obvious. “I am perfectly fine with it if you are.”
“Please.”
“Good. Undress for me and… I wanna see what you do.”
It no longer feels awkward to feel her eyes on him as he sheds his layers. Her expression is appreciative, and he’s never thought too much about what his body might look like to other people but clearly the only person who matters right now is into it. Years after her, he thinks, if there is an after her, he will always remember this as he looks at his skin. Impossible perfect woman almost making him happy.
And sure enough, as he’d both hoped and feared, his prick is in full form. And to think he’d expected it would hurt her the first time she wanted him. There’s no fear of that now, but a near-inevitability he won’t last long enough to give her what she wants and-
He looks at her, spread out for him and waiting, and he knows whatever he does will be enough.
Soft beautiful his, he repeats as he maneuvers his body over her. Perfect woman, as he lines up his prick. More than he had ever dreamed of, as he covers her.
She feels perfect around him, and he rolls his hips against hers and tries to find a pattern the way she does when she covers him and he is so sure he’s doing it wrong but she keeps taking kisses anyways so maybe not. Perfect, and he feels himself tense up and no too soon he hasn’t given her everything he hasn’t-
He falls apart anyways, best intentions be damned, boneless on top of her even as their bodies separate.
“I didn’t mean to-“
“Do I look like I’m complaining?”
No, he thinks as he maneuvers his body so most of his weight is off of her, no she does not. If anything, Nina looks the happiest he’s seen her, pink and glowing and content. “You look beautiful,” he says before he talks himself out of it.
“Good.” She shakes her head, her hair flying everywhere. “Are you… was all of that okay?”
She gets under his skin like no one else ever has, and he almost loves her for it and he is undone. “I don’t know if I did it right.”
“There is no right. Not with this. There’s only… what I like may be different from what some other person likes, and each time you’re with someone new you get to figure it all out again.”
“That’s not what I-“
“You made me feel good. As long as you felt good too… that’s the important part.”
And he did, he lets himself feel as they maneuver themselves into a comfortable position for sleep. Dangerous woman. He is ruined for anyone else now, and… maybe that’s alright.

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐱 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞! 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫
Request 1: Omg I just read the I have a boyfriend and the opposites attract and I'm aksjksjeje. Idk if ur taking requests, but in case u are I need more on that mother nature reader and Warren pleaaaaseee!!! Maybe something with angst, like some conflict in their relationship, but with a happy would be greatttttt I absolutely love ur writing x
Request 2: I have a idea for mother nature x warren: how about an angsty fic about their first fight? And for the first time mother nature feels heartbreak and is really hurt. Her eyes are pitch black and empty. Usually, when she relaxes, she grows pumpkins etc. But this time all the vegatables are rotten or too small. Maybe you feel inspired by this :) (would be great if it has a happy ending though haha) Thank you, you're great!
Warnings: Language, mentions of sex, underage drinking, panic attack, and assault
Word Count: 8k
A/N: This took a long time but I hope you guys enjoy it! This builds more into Warren and Mother Nature’s relationship, probably set before fairytale
Tumblr media
 Everything had been perfect. Halloween was coming up, and (Y/N) asked Jubilee if she’d do a group costume with her and another girl. 
Jubilee said yes, trusting (Y/N)’s opinion on people, for she always saw the good in them.
Jubilee took her, and the other girl, Jessie Rowe, to one of those pop up Halloween shops to look for costumes. 
“We can just get inspired if we don’t see anything perfect, you know?” Jubilee said. “We can always make our costumes.” (Y/N) nodded while looking at the different colored crayon costumes. 
“But it would be so much easier just to get one now. We could all go as like— sexy angels or something. In honor of Warren!” Jessie suggested. 
(Y/N) grimaced a little at the outfit Jessie held up. She didn’t feel comfortable wearing something so thin and tight at some house party on a cold October night. 
Jubilee laughed, “That’d be cute.” 
“Come on,” Jessie nudged her. “(Y/N), I bet your boyfriend would go nuts seeing you in this.”
“Mmm, I think he might find it kind of offensive or something…” She didn’t want to go as a sexy anything for Halloween. No offense to anyone who did dress sexy on Halloween, but that just wasn’t (Y/N)’s vibe. “Not my thing anyway…”
“Oh, come on! He wouldn’t be offended; Warren’s such an angel. I bet he’d fuck you if you wore this.” 
(Y/N)’s eyes went wide with shock. She’d never had someone be so blunt and explicit with her— Well, she had, but it wasn’t directed at her. 
“Um, we’re going to a party, Jess…” (Y/N) awkwardly reminded her. 
“I know, but you guys could sneak off somewhere or leave early. People do it all the time.” 
“What about vampires?!” Jubilee interrupted, holding packages of fake fangs in her hands. 
“Oh, that’d be fun! And we could get fake blood too!” Jessie put the angel outfit back on the rack and went to a different area with Jubilee. 
(Y/N) followed behind, thankful for the interruption, but still thinking about Jessie’s comment. 
“If you two do decide to fuck at the party, I want all the details…”
Why did she care so much if Warren and I are having sex?
She tried to focus on other things as Jubilee attempted to change the subject. 
“Fruits? Personally, I’d like to be a strawberry.” 
Jessie laughed, “We’re not in elementary.” Jubilee shrugged before holding up a banana costume and made a suggestive joke. Jessie and (Y/N) laughed at her. 
“I think we should be pink ladies.” Jessie morphed her voice to sound like Olivia Newton-John. 
“From Grease? But that’s so overdone,” Jubilee didn’t like the idea, but it was the first decent one Jessie had all day. 
“I mean, if someone else shows up in the same costume, we’re technically not matching…” (Y/N) said. 
“See?” Jessie smiled. “(Y/N)‘s smart!” 
“Alright, alright, give me some time. I’ll think about it,” Jubilee stated. 
“Trust me; you’ll come around.” 
-
Warren was lying in bed, fast asleep. He’d just showered after training with Mystique and got his ass kicked. Even when he thought he was getting better, he still wasn't as good as her. 
(Y/N) entered the room, excited to tell Warren about her Halloween costume plans. 
Sure, she could have just texted him, but she hadn’t seen him all day. 
“Warren, Angel baby—“ She quickly shut her mouth when she saw him sprawled over his bed, fast asleep. 
She cooed over his sleeping figure, tempted to leave him as he was. 
What if he’s been asleep for hours? Or all morning? It’s still light out, though. I better wake him up anyway.
(Y/N) tapped his shoulder and said his name a few times, trying to get a response from him. 
He slowly stirred in his slumber, waking up from (Y/N)‘s interruption. “Hmm?...”
“Hey, War,” 
“Mmm… what time is it?” 
“3:48.” 
“Join me.” (Y/N) sat on his bed, sitting next to him as he shifted, snuggling next to her, and slowly woke up. “How’d shopping go with Jubilee?” 
“It was alright.” (Y/N) massaged his scalp as she retold her day. “Jessie kept shooting down our ideas and the ones she had Jubilee never really liked, so we didn’t exactly settle on anything…” 
Warren looked up at her. “I thought you guys were going as crayons?” 
“Jessie said no.”
“Why?”
(Y/N) shrugged, “She suggested we go as sexy angels.” 
Warren’s facial expression was piqued with interest, despite him trying not to show it. 
“I said that would be offensive to you, and we’d freeze to death anyway.” 
Warren chuckled, “I’ll be there to keep you warm.”
“Aren’t you gonna be shirtless?” 
“Maybe. I said I might— Roger Taylor didn’t wear a shirt most of the time.” 
Warren was teaming up with Kurt, Scott, and Peter to dress up as Queen, the rock band, for Halloween. 
“You could get sick! It might even rain on Halloween, which will make you even colder!”
“I’ll be fine.” Warren wasn’t too worried. 
“Wear a jacket, please.” 
“I will. I will…”
(Y/N) huffed, “Good… Cause if you don’t, I’ll bring you one, and it will be tacky and ugly and totally ruin your costume.  So you better bring one…” She jokingly threatened. 
Warren chuckled, “Yes, Mom.” (Y/N) laughed at his demeanor. 
Warren looked up at her, lifting his head up, lips puckered. A way of silently asking for a kiss. 
(Y/N) complied, and gave him a peck on the lips. 
“Wanna get some food? I’m kind of hungry.” 
Warren nodded. He finally, and officially, got out of bed since his nap, (Y/N) next to him. 
As they were about to leave his room, a leaf fell from (Y/N)‘s head. 
“You dropped a leaf.” 
She frowned, eyes purple with embarrassment, “That’s the fifth one this week.” 
Warren bent down to pick it up. “It’s fall. I’m surprised you still have a few left.” 
“I’ve still got about a month.” 
The vines wrapped around (Y/N)’s legs and the leaves in her hair were shedding— Just like the trees outside, as the weather dropped and plants prepared for winter. 
Warren took the leaf and set it in a book. He liked to press any of (Y/N)‘s leaves he could get his hands on. 
She thought it was silly, they were just leaves, but Warren liked them. 
(Y/N) rummaged through the fridge for something to eat. 
“I think there’s leftover Chinese from last night,” Warren told her. 
“Yeah, but I don’t want to take those. They aren’t mine.” 
“You can say I ate them. Ororo and Kurt took my pizza after we went to East Village Pizza.” 
“Didn’t you label the box?” 
Warren nodded, “Yeah, but it’s Kurt and Ororo. They ignored it.” 
(Y/N) stifled a laugh as she took out some milk, deciding to make mac and cheese. 
“They’re the only ones who don’t fear me.” He joked. 
“Hey! I’m right here… and besides—“ She turned the stovetop on. “—No one here “fears” you. Not even the little kids. Jamie Donaldson told me he wanted to be you for Halloween.” 
Warren tilted his head slightly in confusion.
The water in the pot had reached a boil and (Y/N) poured the dried noodles into it. “He said you were his hero. That he wanted to be like you when he got older.” 
Warren dismissed it, “His friends are gonna tease him.” 
“I’m sure they already do… he has gills… Deny it all you want, Worthington, but you’re not tough as nails. Underneath the metal, you’re a big softie who cries during The Notebook, and helps Alex teach the second graders.” 
“Babe, everyone cries during the notebook, and I had a free period, and Alex needed help.” 
(Y/N) nodded, “Mmhmm… well, you can’t let Jamie down. It would crush him.” 
“I’m no—“ Warren stopped. 
“You’re no what?” (Y/N) teased nonchalantly. She knew what he was going to say. 
“You’ve trapped me.” 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 
“I’m not gonna say it.” 
(Y/N) mixed the milk, butter, and cheese powder in a separate bowl. “Say what?” 
“Oh, so that’s how we’re gonna play it?”
“You’re too hard on yourself! Be honest and caring for once.” (Y/N) pouted. 
“I’m not saying it. It’s dumb and cheesy.” 
“Fine. Then you don’t get any of my mac and cheese.”
“I’ll steal some when you’re not looking.” 
(Y/N) widened her eyes for comical intimidation. “I’m always looking.” 
Warren crossed his arms, “I’m still not going to say it.” 
“Please…” 
“I’m a bad person, (Y/N), I’ve done bad things…”
(Y/N) chuckled lightly, “Isn’t your therapist Brenda helping you not sound like Batman so much?” 
“Yeah.” 
(Y/N) kissed his nose. “Okay, Angel.” 
“(Y/N), I’m not—“
“Yes, you are! Say it.” 
“Fine,” He caved. “I’m an angel.” 
“Say it like you mean it. A positive tone of voice and affirmations improve a plant’s lifestyle and growth.” 
Warren couldn’t deny the small smile on his face, “I’m an angel.” 
(Y/N) squealed and kissed Warren’s lips. His cheeks were red, for he was flustered. 
“Can you get some bowls? Mac and cheese is done.”
“Yeah, sure.” Warren got two bowls and forks for them both and set them on the counter. 
(Y/N) scooped some macaroni into both bowls, then she and Warren sat on the barstools on the other side of the counter and chowed down. 
Jessie entered the kitchen as they ate their food. 
“Hey, (Y/N). Hey, Warren.” 
“Hey, Jessie! I just made some Mac and cheese if you’re hungry.” 
“I’m good, thanks. I don’t really eat carbs.”
“Oh… Okay…” (Y/N) looked down nervously at her bowl, trying to hide her purple eyes.
“Yeah, they just don’t agree with me, ya know?”
(Y/N) nodded, “Yeah, yeah, I don’t really like hot Cheetos.”
“See? We’re practically one and the same.” Jessie smirked.
Warren’s gaze kept shifting between the girls. He was confused at the tone of the conversation. 
“Anyway, I came down here looking for you.” She said to (Y/N). 
“Really? What’s up?” 
“I convinced Jubilee that we should go as pink ladies.” 
“That’s great!” 
Jessie nodded, “We’re gonna get the stuff we need for our costumes tomorrow.” 
“Sounds good to me.” (Y/N) said. 
“Uh, huh… what are you going as for Halloween?” Jessie asked Warren. 
“A few other guys and I are going as Queen.” 
“Ooooo! I love their music.” 
Warren nodded, “Scott’s going as John Deacon, Peter’s going as Brian May, I’m going as Roger Taylor, and Kurt’s going as Freddie Mercury.” 
Her voice shifted to a flawless British accent, “Well, I’m sure you’ll look amazing, darling.”
Warren laughed, “Thanks.” 
“Of course… (Y/N) I’ll talk to you later about Halloween stuff.” 
“Okay. See you later.”
As Jessie sauntered away, Warren was a bit unsettled by Jessie’s attitude but was more worried about his girlfriend.
“You need to eat some carbs…” (Y/N) mumbled. 
“She’s probably just doing some fad diet,” Warren reassured her. 
“I dunno…” 
Warren shrugged and gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze, “There’s no harm in eating macaroni… and no matter what you do, you’ll always be healthier than Peter.”
“Oh god, yeah,” (Y/N) jokingly grimaced. No offense to Pete’s lifestyle, but consuming only twinkies and Diet Pepsi would not go down well for Mother Nature, or anyone else. 
“I’m gonna save the rest for later.” (Y/N) went through a cabinet looking for some Tupperware. 
“Alright. Want me to put what we didn’t touch in another container?” 
“Sure.” 
The girls all grabbed pink ladies jackets and paid for them. 
“I was thinking we wear all black— heels, shirt, and leggings or maybe like a skirt or something.” 
“Heels?!” Jubilee shrieked. “You’re crazy if you think I’m gonna wear heels all night on Halloween.” 
“It’s just for pictures,” Jessie reassured her. “And besides, you’ll kick them off at the door anyway.” 
“Why would I wanna roam around barefoot at a party?” 
“(Y/N)‘s barefoot all the time. To feel one with nature.” 
(Y/N) furrowed her brows, eyes orange. “No, I’m not. I rarely ever do that…” 
Jessie held up her hands in surrender, “Well, I heard it from Nancy Robinson…”
“She’s wrong… I told her I connect easily with plants.” 
“She must have misunderstood.” 
(Y/N) nodded, unsettled. 
“Do you guys wanna go to the mall? There’s this cute little black dress at Forever 21 I wanna get for Halloween.” 
“Yeah, sure.” 
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“I need to get some more foundation at Sephora,” Jessie stated. 
“Good, cause we were going anyway.” Jubilee joked threateningly. Jessie and (Y/N) laughed. 
As they walked around the Sephora, Jubilee scanned the isles for blue eyeshadows in different shades. 
“Kurt asked me to do his makeup for Halloween. He wanted some 70s glam rock.” 
“You’re gonna do a great job!” (Y/N) told her. 
“For sure— I’m also doing Warren’s and Peter’s too.” 
“They’re all going to look great. I hope we can get a group photo of them before they get all sweaty and tired out.” 
Jubilee nodded, smiling, while she placed all her items on the counter to be rung up. 
“Why didn’t Warren ask you to do his makeup?” Jessie asked. 
“Oh, uh… I dunno.” (Y/N) shrugged. “I’m not very good at super dramatic glittery looks.” 
“I’m just surprised he didn’t ask you, is all. I thought he would’ve, considering you’re dating.” 
“I mean, he’ll probably ask to borrow my mascara or something... It’s not a big deal.”
Jessie raised her eyebrows in questioning before paying for her foundation. “If Scott was going to wear makeup, I’m sure he’d ask Jean to do it for him.” 
“Scott would just want an excuse for his face to be inches away from Jean’s face, and for her to constantly be gazing into his eyes and glancing at his lips. Until they finally break the tension and spend the whole time making out, and Scott’s still not even wearing any makeup by the end.” Jubilee states. 
“That’s very specific… Also, don’t they kind of do that already, anyway?” (Y/N) asked. 
“Yeah,” Jubilee chuckled. 
“Still, I don’t know why Warren didn’t ask you.” Jessie interrupted. “Maybe you should ask him.” 
(Y/N) nodded, “Yeah, uh, I— I might.” 
Warren was lounged on (Y/N)’s bed, focusing on a textbook assignment. 
“Why didn’t you ask me to do your makeup?” 
Warren looked up. “Hmm?”
“Jubilee said you asked her to do your makeup for Halloween… I could’ve done it.” 
“Oh, uh, I mean Kurt asked her to do his, and then Peter asked her, and we both figured why not do mine too? She’s just going to do some eyeliner and highlighter. It’s no big deal.” 
“Oh…” (Y/N)’s eyes flashed purple. 
“Do you want to do my makeup?” 
(Y/N) shook her head, her eyes slightly red and orange. “Never mind… It was stupid… I’m not even that good at makeup…” 
Warren blinked, no longer focused on his homework. “Are you okay?” 
“What? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” 
“I mean, if you wanna do my makeup, go ahead. I don’t care. If it’s that big of an issue—“
“It’s not an issue. I was just wondering why you didn’t ask me.” 
“I didn’t think you’d want to do my makeup.” 
(Y/N) pursed her lips. He was kind of right. She really couldn’t have cared less— Halloween was proving to be so stressful already. 
“Yeah…” She mumbled. 
“See, problem solved.” 
A weird feeling of tension filled the air. 
Warren and (Y/N) never fought, and they rarely argued or bickered over things that weren’t Warren’s low self-esteem. 
Despite him saying, “Problem solved.” It didn’t feel that way. 
Warren barged into Peter and Scott’s room. Inside were Scott, Kurt, and another kid. 
“(Y/N) and I had an argument—“ Warren glanced at the short blonde guy sitting on Scott’s bed. “Who is he?”
“Warren, this is Bobby. Bobby, this is Warren,” Scott introduced. “Bobby’s new, he’s a freshman, and we’re kind of the only guys his age, so he’s just hanging out with us.” 
“Hi,” Bobby awkwardly waved at Warren. 
He waved back, “Hey.” 
“Anyway— what happened with you and (Y/N)?”
Warren sat down on Peter’s bed. “We got into an argument about the dumbest thing…”
Kurt squinted his eyes in confusion, “That’s not— you guys don’t do that… Or is that a normal thing for most American couples? All the fighting and yelling.”
“Okay, first off Blue, you need to stop watching sit-coms with Jean and Jubilee where the middle-aged suburban couple’s hate each other’s guts. Second, we weren’t yelling, and it wasn’t really a fight fight, but there was uncomfortable tension.”
The other three boys were focused solely on Warren, waiting for him to explain more. 
“She like got mad I didn’t ask her to do my makeup for Halloween, but then she wasn’t mad and said she didn’t even want to do my makeup. And like we settled it, but I still felt weird afterward. Almost like we didn’t settle it.” 
Kurt was baffled, unsure of what to say. Scott was taking a moment to formulate a good response, but before he could even open his mouth, Bobby spewed some words of… wisdom.
“(Y/N)— I’m assuming you guys are dating, right?” Warren nodded. 
“Okay… (Y/N) doesn’t care about who’s doing your makeup. She’s upset over something else but is using the makeup as a cover-up. She doesn’t want to admit she’s upset over… whatever she’s upset over, but she’s upset, so little things like, you not asking her if she’d do your makeup, are going to make her like, really mad, even if it seems like they shouldn’t or ordinarily wouldn’t.
You have to get her to talk, or find out from one of her girlfriends, what’s really upsetting her.” 
The other boys left their mouths gaping, blinking in shock. 
“You’re like, fourteen, why’d you give such good advice?” 
Bobby shrugged, “My parents fight a lot. They need a divorce, but they’ll never get one.” 
“I was gonna tell you to apologize…” Scott sheepishly admitted.
“Apologize for what?” 
“I— I don’t know…” 
“She said she was stressed out about Halloween…” Warren confessed. 
“There you go—“ Bobby exclaimed. “—She’ll be fine. Don’t even worry about the little lovers’ quarrel you guys had.” 
Warren nodded, feeling a little bit better about the situation.
He still wanted to talk to (Y/N), though. 
“Hey, Jubes!” 
“Oh, hey, Jessie. I was just headed to Bio, what’s up?”
“I heard, a few freshmen girls are going as Pink Ladies for Halloween—“
“And?” Jubilee hugged her binder tight in her arms. 
Jessie huffed, “We just can’t go as the same thing as some freshmen girls!” 
“Why not? Halloween is in two days! We can’t just change our costumes at the last minute.” 
“Jubes, we’ll look like freshmen. We can’t have that!” Jubilee opened her mouth to object, but Jessie didn’t let her. 
“(Y/N), and I already agreed we should switch. We’re going to go as the plastics from Mean Girls.” Jessie’s voice had shifted to sound like Rachel McAdams. “I’m gonna be Regina, and (Y/N) will be Karen.” 
“Okay, that’s fine. I can go return my jacket.” 
“Yeah!” Jessie grinned. “Plus you can wear your shirt that says “On Wednesdays we wear pink! Perfect!” 
Jubilee smiled, “Yeah… Well, uh, I gotta go—“ She motioned to the door. 
“Right! Don’t wanna make you tardy. I’ll see you later!” 
“See ya.” 
Weird, Jubilee thought to herself as she took a seat in Dr. McCoy’s classroom. But not unusual for Jessie, always changing her mind… She’s so wishy-washy on things… Oh well.
(Y/N) was quickly trying to finish her makeup and get dressed so she could help the little kids trick or treat. 
Older students could volunteer to take the younger one’s trick or treating until 9, and then if they wanted, they could go to whatever house party the locals from the public school in the area were hosting. 
Luckily for the X-Men, Jubilee was extremely popular with the public schoolers, and they were invited to most house parties.
Ororo had already left, for she had just worn a unicorn onesie she borrowed from Peter. 
“I think this is his sister’s, but hey! It’s comfy.” 
“You look great!” (Y/N) only glanced at Ororo, for she was worried about her own look for the night.
“Thanks, I’m sure you’re going to look great too. Don’t sweat it… you have a half-hour left.”
“I’ll meet you downstairs with the others!” 
“Sounds good to me.” 
The others being Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Warren. Jubilee, Peter, and Jessie had decided to skip the trick-or-treat assist and go straight to partying. 
Warren knocked on (Y/N)’s door, asking if she was ready. 
She opened it and stepped out. 
Warren glanced up and down, checking her out. She looked good. Then again, she always looked good. 
(Y/N) did the same, checking her boyfriend out. Maybe I should have gone as a slutty angel to compensate… Warren looks… hot.
Tight leather pants, a sparkly fringed vest with nothing underneath— showing off his toned abs— his classic, worn-out combat boots, and his makeup. Jubilee did an excellent job with it. 
Her eyes were magenta. 
Warren kissed her cheek. “You look great, babe!” 
“Uh… thanks… um… you— you…”
Warren chuckled, “I look stupid, don’t I?”
“No! No— you look, whatever the opposite of stupid is… Stupidly hot, maybe…” (Y/N) felt like a pile of mush. 
And for what? Warren in tight pants, no shirt, and black lines on his face? That was a regular Tuesday look for him. 
“Maybe?” He teased. (Y/N) avoided eye contact, her eyes a vibrant purple.
Warren intertwined one of his hands with her and kissed her cheek again. “You’re adorable.” 
“Thanks…” 
The gang made their way to the party a little after 9. It was in full swing by then, with loud music vibrating the outdoors. It just got amplified as they walked in. 
“I’m gonna look for Peter,” Warren told (Y/N). 
“I’m gonna try to find Jubilee and Jessie, get some group photos.” They parted ways, agreeing to meet up again later. 
(Y/N) got distracted along the way— she danced to the Monster Mash with Jean and Kurt, helped with any trick or treaters that came to the door, (despite it not being her house), and she took a few photos with a group of freshmen also dressed up as pink ladies. 
“Where are they?” 
She spotted Jubilee’s big mop of black curls and quickly made her way over.
“Oh my gosh! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!” 
Jubilee and (Y/N) stared at each other, both extremely puzzled.
“Um…”
“Uh…” 
“I thought we were going as pink ladies?”
“I thought we switched to The Plastics.” 
“What?” (Y/N) asked.
Jubilee took a sip from her cup, “Jessie told me you guys agreed on us switching to the plastics cause a bunch of freshmen were going as pink ladies.” 
“She never said anything to me bout going as the plastics. I haven’t seen her in like, two days.”
“What?” Jubilee was beyond confused. 
“Yeah, I thought we were still all going as pink ladies. I even saw the freshmen you’re talking about, and they took photos with me!”
“That’s nice…” 
“Why didn’t you clear this up with me, Jubes?” (Y/N) asked, her eyes slowly turning grey. 
“I thought Jessie did. I was busy trying to scope out a good place to crash and party at.”
(Y/N) crossed her arms, “Where is Jessie, anyway?” 
“I think she’s in the kitchen.” 
Warren was trying to have fun at the party. He didn’t drink as he did in Germany, so everything just seemed less exciting… but with his friends, they never failed to disappoint. 
He wanted to find Peter so they could get group pictures before a group of girls swarmed Kurt, fawning over his accent, soft blue fur, and gymnast body. Before Scott gave a little pep talk on safety to whichever friends would listen and then run off to make out with Jean in the nearest bathroom. And then he wanted to spend time with his girlfriend. 
He found Kurt, no problem— but finding their Brian and John was proving much more difficult. 
“Maybe Peter shouldn’t have worn a wig. We usually spot him due to his grey hair.”
“Then it wouldn’t go with the costume,” Kurt pointed out. “And the whole group would look out of place.” 
“I guess so…” Warren spotted Scott as they walked into the kitchen. He was talking to the new kid— Bobby— with Jean next to him. “Let’s get Scott.” 
Kurt waved at the group, and they motioned him over. 
“Hey, guys! This is Bobby,” Jean introduced.
“We already met,” Warren explained. “Have you seen Peter?” 
Jean shook her head. 
“I think I saw him—“ Bobby spoke up while filling up a cup from the “monster mix” punch bowl. “He had on a big curly brown wig…?” 
Kurt nodded, “Ja, that’s him!” 
Bobby handed Kurt and Warren cups. Warren sighed quietly to himself. He didn’t want a drink of some mystery liquid. He knew there was probably alcohol— Bobby probably didn’t, though— the kid was a freshman. Warren didn’t have time to refuse it though, for Bobby told Kurt where he last saw Peter, and then— bamf!
Kurt teleported him and Warren to that same place. The backyard. 
Warren felt a little nauseated— he hadn’t eaten anything all night except for a few pieces of candy, and the smell of sulfur was disgusting. 
Peter ran up to them and quickly noticed Warren’s turmoil. 
“Oh, dude! Here— drink up—“ He quickly put Warren’s cup in his mouth and almost forced him to drink up the “monster mix.” 
“Peter—“ Kurt scolded. “That’s not water!”
Peter’s face paled. “Oh shit. Shit! Dude, I’m sorry— I thought— cause you don’t drink—“
“Bobby gave it to me… He doesn’t know any better. I can handle myself. It’s one drink.” 
Peter almost scoffed at the mention of Bobby. “Who invited him?”
“Probably, Scott.” 
“Why?”
“I dunno… Make him feel included, I guess…”
“You good?” Kurt asked Warren. 
He nodded, “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Let’s get Scott… Come on…”
They decided to walk back to the kitchen, like ordinary people.
Bobby was gone, but Scott was still there, along with Jean, and Ororo was there too this time. 
“Did Bobby give you the monster mix?” Peter asked.
“Yeah.”
“Oh, dude— I had like three cups of it, and I feel a little tipsy— I think— but dude! I’m so sorry—“
“Peter, it’s fine. It just burned a little going down. It was only one drink— I’ll be fine. Stop worrying.” 
“Okay…” 
“Hey! You found him.” Jean smiled. “Photo time!” 
Everyone smiled and got into various poses and huddled little groups to take many silly pictures— many of them not even ending up on the group’s Instagrams— but still fun nonetheless. Jean telekinetically held up her phone so that everyone could be included in the pictures. 
Warren could feel himself getting a little tipsy as they kept taking photos, but he ignored it. 
“Oh my god! Warren!” It was Jessie. Not in a pink ladies costume. 
Weird… 
“(Y/N)’s been looking for you— come on, I’ll take you to her.” She grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the kitchen. 
He squinted his eyes, puzzled as to what was going on. 
They were walking upstairs. 
“Where are we going?” 
“Upstairs.”
It was dark. 
Warren couldn’t see the figure in front of him too well anymore.
The highly spiked drink he had was starting to get to him.
The voice sounded like (Y/N)’s. 
“You— You sounded like, (Y/N).” 
She giggled lightly, “I am (Y/N), silly.” 
“Oh.” 
She led him upstairs into an empty room. The lights were off. He still couldn’t see her very well. 
“Angel, baby,” She cooed. “I missed you.” 
“I missed you too.” He went to go and turn on a light, but she stopped him. 
“Leave them off… I wanna have fun tonight…” 
“Oh?” Is she talking about earlier, before we left the mansion? Has she been drinking? I would like to do stuff but—
“Mmhmm…” She kissed his neck and kept kissing him, leading up to his lips. He kissed her back, hands on her until they got near her neck— he wanted to tug on her hair a little, but upon touching it, he realized something was wrong.
He didn’t have time to figure it out, though, for someone opened the door. 
Warren and the other person turned to see who it was. 
It was Jubilee and (Y/N). 
“Have you seen Jessie?” (Y/N) asked. 
Her friends in the kitchen eyed her and Jubilee up, confused— weren’t they supposed to go as the same thing for Halloween? 
“Um, she was just here. She said you were looking for Warren, and then they went upstairs.”
Jubilee glanced at (Y/N) nervously. That wasn’t a good sign. 
“Thanks.” (Y/N) and Jubilee headed upstairs to find the two. 
Once they got to the top of the stairs, they walked around, trying to open every door they could to no prevail. 
“Wait— Shh!” Jubilee whispered. She motioned to a door they hadn’t opened yet. 
(Y/N) didn’t waste any time opening the door. 
She wished she did, though.
Because she saw them.
Warren and Jessie, so close together. It looked like they had been kissing moments ago. 
When Warren’s eyes met (Y/N)’s, she felt sick to her stomach. He looked lost, confused even. 
He looked almost terrified. 
Warren looked over at the girl who he thought was (Y/N). The light from the open door revealed it was Jessie. 
Warren started internally panicking. He kissed Jessie thinking it was (Y/N)! 
She can change her voice to sound like whoever she wants! How could I think— So stupid of me! 
He looked over at (Y/N), trying to form words to say. Her eyes— they’d turned completely black. He couldn’t tell her iris and pupil apart. They’d never been pitch black before. 
“(Y/N)! Jubilee! Thank goodness! I was looking for you guys—“ 
“No, you weren’t… What’s going on?” 
“Warren’s drunk he thought I was you and he tried to come onto me—“
“No, I didn’t!” (Y/N) glared at Warren meticulously, making him shut up.
“He kissed me! Can you believe it?! He couldn’t tell his own girlfriend apart from me, and he was forceful!” Jessie stepped away from him in “fear.” 
“You’re lying— I would never—“
(Y/N) wasn’t even paying attention anymore. Everyone could see that. 
“I’m going home.” 
“What? (Y/N)—“ 
She glared at Jessie, “Fuck off. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. And you—“ She looked at Warren. She felt her heart breaking, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She didn’t know what to think, and she was so tired. “We’ll talk about this later. I’m leaving.” 
“(Y/N)—“ 
She took a ride home with the freshmen girls. They didn’t ask why she needed one or why her eyes were all black. 
(Y/N) wasn’t in the mood to answer them anyway. 
How could he do this? It doesn’t feel right! But Jessie— Jessie wouldn’t lie to me. Would she?
She was snapped out of her thought when one of the girls gasped. 
“Look! Look at all the plants! They’re all dead! Even the carved pumpkins are rotting.” 
“Yeah, Lily, that’s what plants do—“
“No, look!” Everyone looked through the car window, shocked by what they saw. 
(Y/N) took one look at the dead plants and started shaking. She didn’t have the strength to bring them back to good health. 
It worried her, but her mind kept focusing on Warren…
Jubilee dragged her friends outside to the front yard. She had Jean use her powers to keep them from running off anywhere. 
A few people were watching, but she couldn’t have cared less.
“Okay! What the hell happened? And none of the bullshit you told (Y/N) earlier! I know you took Warren upstairs, Jess. I know you didn’t tell (Y/N) we changed our group costume at the last minute, and I usually don’t say this kind of stuff, and I've held it back for (Y/N)’s sake, especially since she felt bad for you! And asked if you could do a group costume with us.” Jubilee was practically fuming, sparks almost igniting in her hands. 
“You’re kind of a bitch.” 
“Jubilee! Warren tried to fuck me! He was drunk and not acting right, and he started kissing me and stuff!”
“Warren doesn’t drink!” 
Kurt glanced at Peter and Scott before speaking up, “Warren had one drink…”
“Okay? That’s not going to get him shitfaced enough to fuck you!” Jubilee stared at Warren, trying to see if he’d finally speak.    
“I was a little tipsy, and Jessie said you and (Y/N) were upstairs. It got dark, and I thought I heard (Y/N) talking to me, but I think it was just Jess. She started kissing me, and it took me a minute, but I realized it wasn’t (Y/N). Then you guys came in.”
Everyone was in shock about Warren’s side of the story. 
“Isn’t it illegal to lie about this kind of stuff… and to kiss someone without consent?” Kurt whispered to Scott.
“Probably.” 
“He’s lying!” Jessie exclaimed. 
“Jean, read my mind. Read Jessie’s. I’m not lying!”
“He’s a monster! Why should you believe him?!” Jessie spat.
Warren was disgusted by her words. “You tried to fuck me!” 
“And with all your weird questions and comments about their sex life, I’m not surprised you kissed Warren,” Jubilee stated angrily.
“He kissed me back!” 
“He thought you were someone else!” 
“Guys! Shut up!” Jean told them. “I’m trying to focus!” 
She dove into Warren’s mind to see the events play out before her. She did the same when in Jessie’s mind. 
“Warren was telling the truth.”
As (Y/N) walked into her room, every plant in there withered and died. 
Typically, she’d fall to the ground and sob for accidentally killing what she practically considered her children, but she felt too numb. She kicked off her shoes and flopped onto her bed. The vines around her bed didn’t even move out of her way. They were lifeless and still, just like her.
(Y/N) was restless trying to sleep. She only slept for about fifteen minutes, and when she awoke, she was covered in ivy… poison ivy. 
Most of the time, when she was restless, she’d grow a watermelon or a pumpkin in her sleep, but this was new. She didn’t want to spread it to Ororo or let her see that she killed all the plants in the room. 
She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, scribbling down a note for Ororo, telling her what happened and for her to not come in until the ivy went away, and it was safe. 
She quickly tapped the note to the door and locked herself inside. 
The rest of the gang quickly headed home. They didn’t notice all the decaying plants outside. 
Scott parked in the garage. 
“Hey, Kurt…”
“Ja, Ororo?”
“I need to check on some of the plants in the attic. I didn’t have enough time to water them all before we went out. Can you take me up there?” 
Kurt nodded, “Yeah, of course.” 
They were gone in the blink of an eye. 
Everyone else was lingering around, deciding on what to do. 
“I’m going to go talk to (Y/N)—“
A blood piercing scream interrupted Warren’s words. 
“Oh my god! Is that Ororo?” 
“I think so!” 
Jean used her telepathic powers to see what was wrong. 
“All the plants… they’re dead!” 
“Jean, check the fridge. See if the fruits and vegetables are alright,” Xavier instructed.
She opened the fridge, and to her horror, the produce rotted.
“But— I went with Sean and Raven to the grocery store two days ago! It shouldn’t have all gone bad.” Peter was puzzled.
“Do you think it was (Y/N)?” Jubilee asked. 
“I’m gonna go talk to her.” Warren head off to her dorm room. 
He felt so guilty and heartbroken. Even though it technically wasn’t his fault, he felt pathetic for not being able to tell his girlfriend apart from a stranger in the dark. 
He kissed Jessie! Nothing was going to undo that. 
Warren stopped at (Y/N)’s door, about to knock, but he was distracted by the note on it. He removed it off the door and read it. 
“I’m not feeling great right now, and I accidentally grew some poison ivy when I took a nap. I’m trying to get it to go away, but for now, people shouldn’t come in. I don’t want it to spread around. Also, I killed all the plants in our room. They’re going to be fine, but for now, I can’t help them.”
Warren knocked on the door, holding the note in his hand. “(Y/N)?” 
“You can’t come in here.” 
“Can you open the door?” He pleaded. 
“No, you can’t get close to me. The ivy came from me. I don’t want it to spread.”
“I won’t come in.” 
“Warren,” She cried. “Can’t you just wait?!” 
“I want— I need you to know what actually happened.”
It was silent from (Y/N)’s side of the door.
“(Y/N)?...” 
She didn’t respond, but Warren heard her unlocking and opening the door. He took a few steps back to respect her boundaries and commands. 
He took in her appearance. She switched from her pink ladies outfit to some pajamas. She didn’t wash her makeup off makeup, so it smeared all over her face.
Her hair was messy and her eyes… her eyes were pitch black. 
“I went to go look for Peter. I looked in the kitchen and didn’t see him. The new kid— Bobby— he gave me a drink, and I didn’t know how to explain I didn’t want it. Kurt teleported me to the back porch when we got word Peter was outside. I hadn’t eaten anything since lunch, so I felt a little sick. Peter came over to us and noticed I looked bad and had me force down whatever was in my cup. He assumed it was water or something else non-alcoholic, cause I don’t drink.”
“I was like, ‘this is fine. It’s one drink of vodka, cranberry sprite, some hooch, and like whatever else was in the monster mix.’ Then we took photos in our Queen costumes and goofed around for an hour. I was getting a little tipsy, but I didn’t think it was that bad. Jessie came in, saying you were looking for me. And she just dragged me upstairs. It was extremely dark, and my brain was getting a little fuzzy, and Jessie shifted her voice to sound like yours… She led me into a dark room and said she wanted to like, hook up, or do stuff. I tried to explain to her I’d been drinking, but she started kissing me before I could.” 
(Y/N) stood on the other side of the door, listening inventively to Warren. 
“I kissed her back. Then I realized it wasn’t you— it didn’t feel right— and then you walked in.” 
(Y/N) sighed. She was sure he was telling the truth. Their friends wouldn’t let him come up and see her otherwise. 
“I am so sorry…” 
“Yeah, um… Jessie’s kind of… kind of mean. But like— I just— I got so upset because of a lot of different things. Um, Jessie had been asking and saying stuff about our relationship— saying like, we should have sex after the party, I should hoe it up more, or trying to get me to accuse you of not trusting me cause you didn’t ask me to do your makeup… and I just thought she was being weird or whatever, cause like, those were the vibes she’d given me almost all the time. I never thought she simply wouldn’t like me. Especially since I asked if she wanted to do a group costume with Jubilee and me… and I just—“ (Y/N) scrunched her nose. “I don’t let stuff like that get to me, but… but I’m so inexperienced, and you’re not. I don’t really care if people talk about whatever they do behind closed doors. I don’t care about that… I just don’t want people interpreting that I’m like the Virgin Mary, or there’s a problem in our relationship, cause there’s not. There’s not!” 
(Y/N) started crying. She was crying and shivering, and poison ivy started growing and wrapping itself around her body. 
“I’m not mad at you. I just…” She sighed. 
“...Am I not enough?”
“What?” Warren was confused.
“Would you leave me for her? Or anyone else?”
“No. Never— I should have done more, I shouldn’t have followed her or let myself believe it was you— I’m so fucking stupid.” 
Her voice was stern. “No. You’re not stupid. I just… I just need some time to think and be alone right now.”
“Whatever you want,” Warren nodded timidly. “I’ll tell Ororo she needs to sleep with Jean and Jubilee for the night… Although I doubt she’ll leave the attic.” 
“What happened in the attic?”
“All the plants in the attic died… She’s extremely torn up about it… (Y/N)?”
(Y/N) zoned out a little, her heart was pounding heavily in her chest, she was sweating, quivering, and all she could focus on was how she killed everything. Everything she loved and touched, she destroyed it. She couldn’t control herself, and she was hurting the world around her. She heard Warren yelling her name, but she couldn’t find herself to respond. Her breath was quick and eradicating. 
Warren was trying his best to respect her wishes by not coming to close, but he had to help her. 
“(Y/N)— (Y/N), baby, look at me, look at me,” Warren stepped closer to her. “Sit down, sit down, okay?” He helped her sit down on the ground. She leaned against the right side of the doorframe. 
“Um, I need you to— I need you to focus on my voice. Focus on me, okay?” 
“I just— my entire life—“ She broke into a sob. 
“Hey, hey, hey, you’re okay. The plants are going to be okay. We’re going to get through this. I need you to breathe. Focus on my breathing, okay?” 
“I can’t!” The ivy from her body was overgrowing rapidly, clinging onto Warren. 
“Yes, you can. Just focus, you’re going to be okay.” He put one of his hands on her arm to stop her from shaking. Her muscles tensed at first, but they slowly relaxed under his touch.
“You’re doing good, just breathe in slowly, okay? Copy me—“ Warren slowly inhaled air. (Y/N) tried to copy him, but it didn’t help her out. The ivy kept growing around the two of them, getting tight as it tangled between them. 
Warren had to move closer to (Y/N), to try and make more space. He wrapped his arms around her body. The out of control vines caused his grip to tighten on her. 
The feelings of his arms pressing against her helped (Y/N) focus in on something.  
“(Y/N)? Hey, it’s going to be okay. You’re going to be okay. Close your eyes and just focus on my voice, okay? Can you do that for me?”  
“I…” (Y/N) felt dizzy and nauseous like it was just piling up inside her. 
Warren coaxed her into slowing her breathing down, but her heart was pounding. Every breath she took felt shaky. 
Yet, the ivy slowed down, wrapping itself around Warren and (Y/N) like old stone walls. 
She was slightly shaking still, but her mind wasn’t getting as overwhelmed anymore.
“Hey, hey… Sweetheart, it’s okay. You’re going to be okay… the ivy stopped. It’s okay.” 
“It— it did?” 
Warren nodded, “Uh, huh. Everything’s going to be alright.” (Y/N) slowly stopped shaking and buried herself into Warren’s chest. 
“Do you want to get some water or maybe take a shower?” 
“Um, yeah, but I can’t— I can’t get rid of the poison ivy… Like I can’t—“
“That’s okay. We can just leave it.”
“Oh, okay…” 
“Let’s go shower in my room, okay?” 
She nodded. 
“Can you walk, okay?” He asked her. 
“Um, I think— I don’t know— I’m sorry.” 
“Hey, no, no, no. It’s okay. I can carry you.” 
Warren carefully scooped her up in his arms. He looked at her once over before heading to his room. 
He set her down on the edge of his bed. “Do you want me to help you get undressed?” 
“I can do it.” She answered in a small voice. 
Warren nodded, “Okay, I’m gonna get undressed too.” 
Warren didn’t face her as he stripped off what little clothing he had on and threw it in a small pile. 
“Is it okay if I take my underwear off?” (Y/N) nervously asked. 
“Yeah, we’re going to shower. It’s okay.” 
(Y/N) left her clothes on Warren’s bed. She slowly got up, and Warren quickly rushed to her aide. She used him for support as they walked into his bathroom. 
He turned the shower on and let it heat up for a minute before stepping in. 
(Y/N) leaned against Warren’s chest as the water rained on them both. 
“Is the water warm enough? Is it too hot?” 
“It’s fine,” She mumbled. 
Warren nodded, understanding she didn’t really want to talk. 
He grabbed his shampoo from the edge of the tub and poured some into his hands. Warren rubbed his hands together before massaging the shampoo into (Y/N)’s hair. It was hard to rake through, her hair was thick and tangled, but he tried his best. 
He applied a little conditioner to her ends. (Y/N) hummed against his chest. 
He chuckled to himself, “You asleep?”
“Mhmm…” She half-heartedly replied.  
“Wanna go to bed?” He asked. (Y/N) nodded, and Warren felt it against his chest.
He washed the conditioner out of her hair and turned the water off. 
He grabbed a towel and helped (Y/N) dry off. When he finished, (Y/N) sat on the edge of the tub and watched Warren dry off. 
His eyes caught (Y/N)’s in the mirror. She looked better than before, a bit more relaxed, but still nervous. 
“I’m really sorry for what happened at the party…”
“I’m sorry about… you know…” 
Warren nodded, “Yeah, um, it’s okay. It’s not your fault. And, and I’m here for you— always. If you want to talk about it, or not.”
“Same goes for you.” 
Warren nodded, “Yeah, yeah, um, let me get us some clothes.” Warren stepped out of the bathroom for a moment. 
He gave (Y/N) one of his much larger sweatshirts without holes in the back and a pair of boxers. “Is this okay?” He asked. 
“Yeah, um, these are fine. Thanks.”
Warren nodded and stepped out of the bathroom again, so (Y/N) could get dressed in private. 
Warren was planning to sleep on the floor for (Y/N)’s sake, as not to make her uncomfortable, but she objected to it.
“I… I don’t want to be alone.” 
“I’m right here,” Warren was quick to wrap (Y/N) up in his arms, having them both get under the blankets on his bed. “I’m not going anywhere, okay? You’re safe…” 
“Promise?” She asked, looking up at him. Her eyes weren’t entirely black anymore, but they were very gray. He could have sworn they were pink for a moment, but they were just grey. 
“I promise.” 
(Y/N) was reassured by his words and snuggled into Warren’s chest. His wings wrapped around them, almost like a cocoon. 
“Can… Can you kiss me, please?” (Y/N) asked. “Just like, my forehead or something…” 
“Of course.” Warren laid a small kiss on the top of her head before whispering, “Goodnight.” 
“Goodnight, Angel.”

Protector - Din Djarin x Reader
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: I loved writing this so much, ngl, however i feel like i may have lost my edge when it comes to angst. Idk it’s probably me just being overly critical of myself as usual...but anyways i hope you guys enjoy this! It’s kinda darker than my more recent stuff but I freaking love angst so, here ya go lol. Enjoy and as always I love to hear from you all! <3
Requested? Yes! based on: Could you possibly do an angsty/little fluffy Mando x reader where their ship is attacked unexpectedly and Mando does everything he can to protect the reader but they both end up being taken and she's going to get tortured but he offers to get tortured instead to save her? Possibly loss of limb if you're up to it? Reader blames herself for what happened to him but he would rather he be hurt instead of her. (requested by anon).
Word count: 2.5k
Warnings: ANGST, mentions of death, fear of death, blood, mentions of torture (not descriptive really), injuries, kidnapping, and fluff.
////
You had been traveling with the Mandalorian for almost two years now. You had been with him since before the child, and you were still with him now. As expected, the Mandalorian didn’t take to you at first. He kept his distance, only talked when necessary, and was very short with you when he did speak. However, after finding the child, his walls seemed to come down little by little and eventually you both wormed your way into each other’s hearts.
Starting a relationship with the Mandalorian was a learning curve for both of you. You had to do things a little differently than usual, but you made it work, and you had never been happier. Then the day came when Din had completed his mission of finding the child’s species, and he did the right thing, no matter how much it hurt him. After leaving the child with his people, he was once again closed off, but he told you many times that having you there made the ordeal and heartbreak much easier than if he was alone. He rested his helmet against your forehead and for the first time, told you how much he loved you, and he truly meant it. He had never felt this deep and unyielding love for anyone since his parents died, not even the child. But he loved everything about you: your smile, your hair, the way you poked your tongue out when your concentrated on something. But most of all, he loves the fact that you have never once asked him what was under his helmet. Once he had explained what it meant to remove it and why he couldn’t you immediately accepted it and continued on, no matter how curious you may be. You accepted him for who he was, not what he looked like or any other physical aspects of him. And he knew that he would do anything in the galaxy to protect you and keep you safe.
Until he couldn’t.
It had all happened to fast. The two of you were docked on a planet to get fuel and supplies, a regular routine for the both of you, when a group of storm troopers and other humans stormed the mechanical bay you had landed the ship in. You had been outside speaking with the mechanic when it happened, and before Din could even get a shot off one of the troopers had you locked in his grasp, a blaster held to you head while the others all had their weapons aimed at him.
“You shoot us, we shoot the girl,” one of the men said, “We have you severely out numbered, and all we want is information. Just come with us, tell us what we need to know, and you will be on your merry way.”
Obviously neither you or Din believed a word out of his mouth, but as Din looked at the ten men surrounding him and the one trooper holding onto you, he for once, didn’t see another way out. Not a way where you survive anyway, and he couldn’t risk that. So, Din cautiously lowered his weapon and nodded at them, causing your eyes to widen.
“Din no! What are you-“ but before you could finish, another trooper standing next to you roughly rammed the but of his rifle into the side of your head, rendering you unconscious.
Din felt his blood boil and he immediately raised his blaster to retaliate, but a quick shot and a mean pinch to his upper arm stopped him in his tracks. He quickly looked down to his right arm and saw a small feathered canister lodged into his arm.
A tranquilizer. before he could take another step or rip the device from his arm the world around him went black and the last thing he saw was your limp body being hoisted into the arms of one of the imps.
* * *
Din woke with a start, the first thing he noticed was that he was in a cell, and the second being your small form curled into his side, asleep. His sudden movement at waking must have disturbed you because you peeled your eyes open and bolted upright when you saw him move.
“Oh my stars, Din!” you cried wrapping your arms around his neck in a vice grip, “I didn’t think you were gonna wake up, I was so scared.” By now you were crying again, fresh tears covering the old ones that had dried on your face.
“I’m not going anywhere, I’m fine,” he gently placed his gloved hands on the side of your face and he finally saw the damage they caused.
Your hair was caked in dry blood, most likely from the earlier blow, but you also had new injuries. A busted lip and a darkening bruise over your left cheek.
“What did they do?” Din seethed, finger ghosting over the bruise.
You shook your head, “They want to know where we took the kid Din, they came in here to take you but-“ you paused holding back more tears, as your voice cracked, “but I wouldn’t let them. I couldn’t let them take you.” you were sobbing now, as you rested your face in the space between his helmet and shoulder.
“They’re going to kill us Din, we’re going to die.” You whimpered, voice thick with tears.
Din’s heart sunk as he listened to your words. He could hear the fear, the sadness, and for the first time since he was a child, he too felt a twinge of fear wash over his very soul. As he looked down at your shaking form he felt the fear weigh down his every limb at the thought of losing you. The thought of dying without getting to live his life with you, without getting to marry you and start a family with you…it made Din hold you tighter against him as the reality of the situation sunk in. They had stripped him of his weapons and armor, save his helmet, and locked you both in a cell. Din had never felt so helpless.
“We’re not-“ Din paused, debating on if he should make a promise he can’t keep, “We’re not going to die, I promise.”
His modulated voice, the voice you had grown so familiar with and attached too, somewhat eased your fears, but you knew his words were empty. Despair had settled itself in your mind and you were not hopeful of a happy outcome. The only way out of the cell was by force, which neither of you possessed without Din’s weapons, or a key card that only the guards had. You clung tighter to the him, and buried your face deeper into him, as if trying to hide from the terrible future that awaited you both.
Neither of you spoke for the next few moments. Opting instead for the comfort of silence and each others breathing. Din was absentmindedly running his hand up and down your back in some attempt to comfort you, while you were toying with the hair peaking from under his helmet at the nape of his neck. Your small moment of peace was interrupted by the hiss of the cell door opening, and you buried your head as far as it would go into Din’s neck, terrified to look at the two people who entered the room. You felt Din’s arms tighten around you protectively and you heard the voices chuckle before two rough hands grabbed your arms ripping you from Din’s grasp.
“No, no, no – please! Din!” new tears were pouring down your face as you fought against the troopers grasp, flailing your limps in a vain attempt to escape them. Fear gripping your heart at the thought of what awaited you outside of that cell door. In between your panicked movements you saw Din jump from his seated position and quickly lunge at one of the troopers. A well aimed hit to the exposed area of his neck had the trooper stumbling backwards but he was quick to regain his feet and kick Din behind the knee, dropping him to one knee and pointing his blaster at his chest.
“Not so tough without your armor and weapons are you?” the trooper seethed before jerking his head towards the door, telling the one holding you it was time to go.
“Stop – Wait!” Din’s voice stopped the troopers in their spot as well as caused you to cease your struggle against them once more.
“Take me.” He said firmly standing to his feet once more, “She doesn’t know anything, just please-“ his voice cracked slightly as he looked from you to the two troopers, “take me.”
Your breathing was erratic from the struggle and the panic still coursing through you as you watched the two troopers look at one another momentarily before roughly shoving you back into the cell. You stumbled into Din and he steadied you with his hands on your upper arms, you looked up at him giving him a fearful gaze.
“Please don’t go Din,” you beg quietly.
Din just gives your arm a light squeeze and pressed his helmet against your forehead, “I’ll be back,”  his hands fall down to yours and you faintly feel him place a small cool object in your hand, “I love you.”
You couldn’t even respond before the troopers were yanking Din out of the room, the door closing with a final clang. The moment their footsteps faded from your earshot you collapsed to the floor in a heap. You had stayed there for several minutes just crying and trying to push the horrible images of your imagination from your mind when you remembered the object still clutched in your hand. Your tears had finally ceased, most likely because you had no more tears to shed, and you sniffled quietly as you opened your hand. You had to hold back the sob from ripping from your throat as you looked down at the familiar necklace in your hand. It was the necklace he received from the Mandalorians, their crest. You knew the finality behind his action of giving this to you, and it just made you shake harder as you curled into a ball and fell into an exhausted fitful sleep.
* * *
A commotion of yelling and various grunts and exclamations startled you awake, it seemed to be a habit now, startling awake that is. You quickly sat up, pulling you knees to your chest as you heard what sounded like a fight or struggle outside the door, before they hissed open and a strange man was shoved into your cell. He fell to his hands and knees at the force the troopers used and you just sat in the corner casting a bewildered stare from the stranger to the now closing cell door. The man in the room didn’t say anything and you took the moment to take in his appearance. He had dark hair that was obviously disheveled by whatever had happened to him. He only wore pants, everything else having been stripped from him including his shirt. Your eyes then immediately fell to the angry red and scabbed over gashes on his back and arms, and your heart sunk at the realization of what had happened to this man.
Din, that happened to Din? Who was this?
You quickly stood from your place and ran to the cell doors banging on them frantically. It had been hours, possibly even days since the troopers took Din from your cell and now they just throw this stranger in here?
“Where is he?” you call, tears threatening to fall once more, “Where is Din, what did you do to him?” you cry, fist still banging against the door.
“Hey!” one of the guards bark, “Shut up. We just put him back in there. Won’t be long before you’re next.”
Your eyes widen at the Storm troopers words, and you slowly turned to face the man behind you, still on his knees and head bent in shame. You felt like you were paralyzed to the spot, unable to will your legs to carry you over to Din, the man you loved, who you were so sure was dead. Then you felt relief flood through your veins as you rush over and fall on your knees in front of him, hands grasping desperately at his neck and shoulders.
“Din?” you gasp.
The man doesn’t speak he just nods his head, avoiding your gaze as he looks down at the floor beneath you. You then feel tears fall from your eyes once more as you realize that you caused this. His mutilation, his pain, his dignity and his very way of life being stripped away from him.
They took off his helmet.
You instantly rest your head in the crook of his neck and let your hands fall to his hips, the only place not covered in whip lashes and cuts.
“I’m so sorry Din, this is all my fault,” you say tears falling onto his tanned skin, “Why did you do that? Why?” you pulled away from him now hands finally coming to rest on the sides of his face.
And even though you know you shouldn’t be seeing him, you are instantly aware of just how handsome and beautiful Din is under the helmet.
But you shake your head, “I’m so sorry they did this to you, I wish they would have taken me.”
At this comment his eyes finally looked up from the floor and his gaze met yours for the first time. And the look of anguish and shame in his eyes melted away as he looked into your misty (E/C) eyes. Then he brought his hands up to cup your cheeks and brought you in for a gentle yet fierce kiss. The first one you two had ever shared.
He pulled away what felt like too quickly as he pulled you into an even fiercer hug, ignoring the injuries on his arms and back, “I couldn’t let them take you. Not since I knew what they could do to you,” he pulls away and grasps your face in his hands once more pressing his forehead against yours, skin to skin, “My job is to protect you, no matter the cost.”
Your lip wobbled at his heartfelt words and you had to stop more tears from falling as your eyes fell shut, “I love you so much,” you say for what felt like the millionth time, “I just wish we could’ve had a life, a true and long life, together.” You admitted.
“Hey,” his voice along with his face pulling away from yours made you open your eyes, “We can still do that,” he assured reaching into the waist band of his pants and pulling out the all familiar key card to the cell.
Your eyes widened as you looked at the card then back up to his face, his eyes filled with determination, and you felt a smile creep onto your lips.
“I told you we weren’t going to die, didn’t I?” he whispered.
He did indeed.
And you knew the minute you saw that card that he would keep his promise

ἀλήθεια (Chapter 5, Vοσταλγία AU)
Tumblr media
ἀλήθεια Masterlist
Pairing: Freydis/Reader, Ivar/Reader (past)
Word Count: 2.7k
Warnings: The usual. My endless swooning over Freydis.
A/N: So yeah, I have two chapters of Alatheia done, because this one and Chapter 6 were one and the same until I decided to split them. Should I post the other one tomorrow, or wait a week? Idk, I’ll see lol. Hope you like this!
“Sparta.” You say with a whisper, and Freydis walks forward, standing next to you on the ship, overlooking the same city that rises in the horizon.
“Your father’s homeland, isn’t it?”
“Where my cousin is king,” You confirm, before turning your head to the side, looking back out of the corner of your eye, “Where Galla’s love awaits.”
“Oh, save it.” Galla grumbles from her place a few feet back.
“You did promise him your hand in marriage when the Fates brought you back together.”
“You promised a Viking to love him and yet here we are,” Galla retorts, more bite than Freydis had expected. Your expression tightens, a strange blend between the anger Freydis is familiar with -enthralled with, in awe of-, and the cold cruelty that has made kings falter. Galla doesn’t, instead pressing, more softly, “Women like us don’t keep promises well.”
“I keep my promises.”
And Freydis knows that tone, she knows it well.
Never before had she seen your might directed to her like this, and though she stands tall and strong -not the Gods themselves will make her waver-, Freydis finds something like awe growing inside her at the sight. Your voice is the snarl protecting what is hers as you promise, “You told me the night we met that you’d once escaped death by placing the right words in the right ears. Be careful not to find death by attempting something similar.”
“Just not when it comes to your heart?” Galla tries, baited breath as you consider her, as you debate between stubbornly holding on to anger or accepting the attempt at lightheartedness.
Eventually, your lips curve into a smile. It is dim, Freydis cannot help but notice that.
“Exactly. It seems we are after all very alike, you and I, hm?”
____
Sparta proves to be yet another wonder, of stone buildings and beautiful statues, of lively streets and warm skies. It proves to be familiar too, in the shouts of warriors training on the edges of the city, in the chatter and laughter of a city bustling with life.
After being introduced to Lysander, a tall man of broad shoulders and a grave face that is only accentuated by his missing eye, but of warm smiles and eyes like yours; Freydis allows herself to be lost in this city.
The people may look at her often, may whisper, may linger; but she doesn’t mind any longer. And, in moment of weakness, or maybe of bravery, she approaches some of them, with questions about the food they share with her and the animals they try to sell her.
When she retires for bed that night, the sight of you lingering close by to her door is a surprising one, but not unwelcome.
Her heart does a strange thing in her chest when she meets your gaze, when she takes you in, dressed in a soft green dress so unlike anything she has seen before, the smell of lavender once again sweetening the very air around her.
Freydis says nothing, but invites you in with a gesture of her head. You both sit on the low settee by the hearth, and with your eyes on the flames you take a deep breath that she isn’t sure if it is cleansing or bracing you.
“That night, the...the last night, I…” You stop yourself, lift your gaze to her even if your face is still turned to your hands. Voice low, you instead say, “You never asked me how…how I survived.”
“All that matters is you did,” She tells you without hesitation, but based on the sigh you let out as your head drops, that is exactly what you were expecting. Though she feels slighted at the way you seem to imply wanting to survive above anything else is somehow wrong, she will admit she admires the resilience of still believing the purpose of life is anything other than survival. “It is true.”
Silence reigns between you, and you bite the inside of your cheek as you gaze away into the nothingness. She doesn’t like that gesture, it is too alike you biting your tongue, and she dreads the day you do.
So, Freydis calls your name. Softly, quietly.
You take a moment, gathering your thoughts before you utter them.
“After Narses…after what I did to him, I promised myself that I would never-…” Your words end up choked, and you frown through a deep breath, trying to find your center again, “That I would never lie again, not about something like that; not about love.
Your smile is bitter, and the way your hands threaten to curl into fists tell her what you sacrificed that night, more than words ever could.
More than him, more than the life he gave you, more than the world you had known; you had to give up a part of you, if not the whole of you. Freydis understands that, understands what it is like to shed pieces of you like a snake its skin to try and survive, and she understands what it is like to look at a reflection and see a monster under a pretty face looking back.
“All I have known is to fight against anyone that tries taking something from me. My…my freedom, anything. It feels like I’ve been fighting ever since I first returned to Eleusis from the Silk Roads. Fighting Narses, fighting Stithulf, fighting…fighting Ivar,” You lick your lips, looking at the nothingness ahead when you continue, “That night, I wanted to fight him. I fought him, I yelled and cursed and…and I did it knowing that each word, each…each moment just got me closer to…”
“Death?”
You shrug, “No one survives leaving Ivar the Boneless.”
You haven’t said his name in such a long time. But even now, that isn’t his name you are saying, not really.
“You did.”
“I…I did. Because I thought of you.”
Her heart does a strange thing in her chest, a blend of dread -how could you be so stupid to follow her advice when the only reason Ivar hadn’t killed her was the fear of your wrath- and something else -something that feels like warmth, like pride, like thrill- filling her hollow chest.
“What?”
“That night, I…at the tip of my tongue was the promise that I was leaving him, were the words about how one way or another I wouldn’t be at his side anymore. I can be cruel sometimes, I know. And…I was cruel then, and for all the pain he had caused me I wanted to inflict the same, I wanted…I wanted to hurt him. I wanted to tell him,” You look at her, seeking something that Freydis isn’t sure you can find in her gaze. A breath, and you whisper, “He would have killed me,” You repeat, and though she knows it is true, she has a feeling you are reassuring yourself of it to hold back whatever guilt you carry. “And I remembered what you told me, about h-how surviving is what is most important, about how…whatever men like Ivar the Boneless need you to be, you become.
Your lip trembles, and the look in your eyes tells her that you are somewhere she cannot reach, trapped in a world that you left behind but that has never left you.
You are holding your hands together on your lap, squeezing your own hands so tight she almost expects to hear the bones breaking. Still, you continue. You have to.
“So I t-told him I could forget a-and forgive. It was a lie. I told him I loved him even then. That wasn’t a lie, but…it felt like one. I told him that I didn’t want to…to fight anymore, but I was…uh, s-staying. With him.
Your breath hitches, and your eyes are squeezed shut, as if you can keep memories at bay by refusing to see.
“He fell asleep, but I…I sometimes wonder if he knew I was lying, and just pretended. He had to have known,” Once again it sounds like you are trying to convince yourself, and this time she cannot give any certainty that what you say is true. He might have been, but she doubts he would have let you leave if he had known. Very alike, Ivar and her, and she knows she wouldn’t. You shrug your shoulders, almost defeated, “I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore. While he slept, I fetched one of the thralls. Her name was Thyra, and sh-she looked a lot like me. I killed her with the knife he gifted me, and went to find you and Valdís to say goodbye.
If she is honest, she has tried not thinking about that night much. She has tried to forget the look in your face, the look she dreads ever seen again.
Because that day you were dead, or maybe death. She isn’t sure there is much of a difference, not when it comes to you.
“I lied to him, Freydis,” You confess, a dying breath on your lips. There’s tears shining in your eyes, but stubbornness keeps them at back, and you only raise your chin, gritting your teeth. You take a deep breath, gaze intently focused on the nothingness ahead, and muse aloud, “You know, as time passed I…I started telling myself that I wasn’t that much of a monster for what I did to Narses. I don’t think I can do that anymore.”
The words leave her lips in an instant, “You are not a monster.”
“I have betrayed and lied to everyone that has loved me,” You sentence, a rebuttal even if it sounds like a confession. “Because…I told myself Narses didn’t love me, but he did. He did, and I led him to his death. A-And maybe it was a different kind of love, the wrong kind maybe, but…Ivar loved me. He loved me, and I looked him in the eye and promised to love him too, even when I had already planned to leave him.”
“And you are responsible for what they feel for you?” Freydis pushes, meeting your wide gaze with her determined one. “If they chose to love you, that is their-…”
“Mistake?”
“Responsibility. You didn’t have to love them back, you didn’t have to be anything other than yourself, not because they loved you. That…that is not how it works.”
You search her gaze, so unbearably lost that she cannot help but reach for your hand, if only to keep you tethered, if only to keep you with her, if only to tell the ghosts that if they want you they will have to take her with you.
“How does it work, then?” You ask, a sad, helpless little smile curving your lips.
Freydis offers truth, truth that has been for too long her most precious secret.
“I don’t know.”
“Then how do you know I am not a monster for what I did? To Ivar, to Narses?” You insist, not waiting for an answer as your eyes fall shut, your breath leaving you in a shaky exhale. After a heartbeat, “I loved him,” You tell her, making cold run through her veins. But it isn’t the same kind of coldness that shines in your eyes. Your expression trembles, and Freydis pretends not to see the tears in your eyes, or hear the wobble in your voice, “I loved him, Freydis. And yet I…betrayed him.”
She knows where your thoughts are going. Hers went to the same place, many times before.
“I betrayed you,” She tells you, a confession in itself, even before she finds her resolve and with the same certainty, the same fearlessness, that she looked at death in the eye with; she offers her heart, “I love you, and I betrayed you.”
She has said it many times, but there is something different this time, something to do with comparing her love for you with your love for Ivar, something to do with the way she holds your hand in hers, something to do with the way her eyes search yours.
The smallest of hitches in your breath, but she notices. Of course she does, it seems her very heart stops its beat so she doesn’t miss an instant of your response.
“Freydis…”
“If you are a monster, then so am I.”
It isn’t an argument, it isn’t a whisper that maybe what you did wasn’t cruel, it isn’t a reassurance that you are not monstrous in your own way.
No. It is a promise.
If you are a monster, then she is one as well.
Wherever your Gods or mine take you, I shall be at your side.
But if you listen to her words, you do not give it away, your gaze still wide and lips still parted as you look at her, a blend of awe and something else, something more fragile, something more precious.
“I love you.” You breathe, tremulous smile curving your lips. Three words, and you steal her of breath, you steal her of her heart.
Except you cannot steal what was so freely given. And what a dangerous thing that is, is it not?
But it isn’t fear what courses through her veins, no.
A breath, or two, or a thousand, she has no way of knowing. All she knows is that it feels like she is smiling, like the joy and helpless hope that bubbles inside her chest is curving at her lips, and she knows your eyes -mesmerizing, endless eyes- are trained on the sight, and she knows you lean closer.
And she knows that to kiss you feels like a spring storm.
From the thrill that runs through her like lightning at the barest of touches of your lips on hers, a hesitant brush of your mouth against hers before one of you, she couldn’t for the life of her care who, finds the courage to press closer, more firmly; to the rush of her heart in her ears that reminds her of the unrelenting downpour of a storm, and the delicate touch of your hand on the side of her face that makes her think of witnessing the downpour from the safety of shelter.
As much as you are willing to give you are willing to demand, and Freydis is no different. Your lips part as her mouth moves over yours, open and soft, and there’s a wretched little sound leaving her lips as your tongue slips gently into her own mouth.
In between sharp breaths that still feel like too little, unwilling to part you press a few soft pecks against her smiling lips, before trailing to the corner of her mouth, where the too-many-times unsaid I love you lay waiting for you to claim it.
Brow pressed against hers, noses touching and eyes vibrant as they gaze into hers, Freydis still can only think of the breathtaking feeling of a spring storm to describe what it feels like, this moment.
You bite down on your trembling lip, before a sigh of her name leaves your lips.
She chose it, that name, and every day since she has demanded to be called by that name, too long having been at the mercy of whatever anyone else wanted to call her. It has never sounded so right before.
Still, because she knows you, she knows you like she knows herself, in between broken pieces and contradicting thoughts; Freydis nods her head.
“I know,” She tells you, licking her lip, a remnant of that spring storm still on them. “You also love him.”
“I want my heart to be my own, before I give it away,” You tell her, quiet. Your hand is still at the side of her face, and she soaks up that warmth before it slowly, almost reluctantly, falls down and settles on your own lap. “I love you, Freydis, but I…”
She shakes her head with a smile, though she closes her eyes.
It doesn’t sting of rejection, this isn’t the pain of something lost, but it is still pain, she won’t lie. It is a particular kind of pain, the kind of pain of being on a ship and having it approach a place dearly missed, the kind of pain of knowing on the land the ship so surely approaches there lies everything she ever wanted.
“I am with you,” She interrupts. When she opens her eyes, she finds the vibrant gaze of yours searching her expression, looking for a certainty she hopes you find. “Wherever the Gods take you, remember? I will be here when you have a heart to give, if you choose to give it.”
____ ____ ____
Me writing the Reader with characteristics (story-wise) of a goddess both in Nostalgia and Alatheia is a topic for another time, but as Alatheia comes to an end (and Freydis’ PoVs of Nostalgia are at an end too) I have to rant about this: when the Reader prays to Persephone in Chapter 13, and at the lack of an answer (that she can understand) breaks and prays to Freyja, she begs the goddess not to leave her alone there; and in the next moment Freydis walks up to her, finds her and tells her she is not alone, and then: “Her hand finds yours, and the simple gesture of comfort is enough to make you feel not so unbearably alone. Based on the sad smile she offers you, you think you are not the only one to feel alone in a realm of cold and shadow.” Now, I’m not saying Freydis is Freyja of course, but...maybe I am, and this is just a contrived way of writing the Freyja/Persephone slash no one wanted. Who knows. Point is, I wanted to bring that up. Useless trivia bit over for now.
Thank you for reading! One more part, and then it’s the epilogue!

It’s Everything To Me
Summary: Colby breaks up with Y/N for his career and regrets it.
Requested: Yes!
Warnings: sad stuff, and swearing
Word Count: 2,281
Author’s Note: First angsty piece in a while!! I got sad while writing this, also listening to Lewis Capaldi didn’t help hah. I really like this piece for some reason? idk I feel like it’s actually decent?? Anyway I hope you guys like it !! why is the gif quality always shit :( This is my Gif!
Tumblr media
For the past couple of weeks, Y/N had started to notice that Colby was acting different when he was around her. Time went on where they wouldn’t talk for days because Y/N was tired of reaching out to him. Colby was always making excuses on not wanting to go see her. Frankly, Y/N was getting tired of it. Tonight was the first night that herself and Colby would be getting to hang out alone in months.
She hoped that she would be able to talk about everything with him. She wanted him to understand how she feels about how he was acting; she wanted to know how he was feeling. Y/N and Colby had been together since they were in high school. Y/N had her own social media success around the same time Sam and Colby did. When Colby had asked her to come with him to LA, it was something that she had to think about. In the end she said yes, but her parents didn’t want them to be living together; so Y/N had rented her own apartment.
She pulled Colby’s old merch hoodie over her head as she heard the door being pulled open. “Hey,” he said, closing it behind him. He placed a bag onto the counter, filled with miscellaneous things. She smiled widely as she walked towards him. He took in a sharp breath as his eyes scanned her body.
“Hi,” she whispered nervously as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Reluctantly, he wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled his body away from her, avoiding eye contact. She furrowed her eyebrows as she clenched her jaw. He took quick steps towards her living room, “What are you doing?” she asked while glancing towards the bag that Colby brought with him. Recongizing a few of her items inside, she follows him towards the couch.
“Can we talk?” his voice was barely above a whisper, he quickly wiped his eyes as he flickered his attention towards her. She pulled the hoodie sleeves inbetween her palms as she sat into the chair across from him. Her eyes watched him; how his leg bounces uncontrollably and how he clenched his jaw repeatedly.
“Yeah,” she mumbled as she played with the hoodie sleeves. He rubbed his hands nervously as he pulled his lips in between his teeth. For a while neither of them know what to say but, Y/N knows what is coming. She watches as he wiped his eyes, he was hurting. “Colby, you came here to talk,” she sighed, “So talk,” her voice broke as tears began to form in her eyes. She began to blink quickly trying to stop the tears from falling.
“I think we need to take a break,” the words fell from his lips quickly. He finally lifts his head to meet her gaze. As she meets his eye, she sees the tears already falling onto his cheeks. Her jaw clenches, fighting off the tears.
She takes a deep breath before speaking, “Why?” her voice was barely audible. He looks away from her as he runs his fingers through his hair. His eyes watched his hands shaking as he began twisting his rings on his fingers.
He takes in a shaky breath, “I-uh, I’m moving into this new house and-uh, I’ll be gone with Sam and Elton a lot for videos,” he pauses as he looks towards her. Her eyes never shifting, her eyes meet his red teary ones.
“So you won’t have time for us,” her words fell harsher than she intended, “For our relationship?” she blinked slowly, feeling a tear fall onto her cheek. Raising her hand she quickly wipes the tear off of her cheek.
“I don’t want to,” he breathed, wiping his eyes again.
“Then, why are you?”
“Because I have to, Y/N,”
“So, is Sam breaking up with Katrina because of this?” she asked standing up from her spot. He shook his head, “What about Elton? Is he breaking up with Amanda?” he shakes his head again, “I know Devyn is moving in with Corey, so there’s my answer. Colby you don’t have to end this, we can work this out,” she begged watching him stand up from his seat.
“Y/N,”
“Colby, please, I love you,”
He sighed as he took cautious steps towards her, pushing his sleeves up, “I love you, but I have to do this,”
“No, you don’t!” she cried out.
“Y/N, it’s my life! It’s everything to me!” the words felt like a slap in the face. Her heart sank as the room fell silent. His eyes widened as he realized what he said. He stuttered, trying to speak but she held her hand up towards him walking away from him. “Y/N,”
“No, no I get it,” she cried, pulling the hoodie over her head. Holding it in her hand, she whispered, “I thought I-”
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean it. It just came out and-please I’m sorry,” he begged as she handed him the hoodie that was once his. He held the hoodie in his hands, widening his eyes, trying to give her the hoodie. She pushed him away, walking towards the kitchen.
“I moved to LA for you! I dropped everything to come with you and you drop me like it’s nothing,”
“I never asked you to come with me-”
“Actually you did. You begged me and begged me until I caved.” she slammed her hand against the counter as she took a hold of the bag of her things. “How long?” he stared at her blankly as she dumped all of her items out of the bag. “How long have you wanted to break up with me?” she sat on the barstool next to the counter.
“A couple weeks,” he mumbled as she covered her face with her hands. She rested her arms onto the counter as she cried into her hands. Colby closed his eyes slowly as he watched her crumble in front of him.
She wiped her eyes a few times before turning her body towards him. Her eyes looked his body up and down before standing up. She pressed her lips together as she walked towards him. “You were everything to me,” she sighed, as she looked deeply into his eyes. “I was willing to do anything for you,” soft sobs left her lips as she spoke. “But I’ll always be second best to you,” he opened his mouth trying to speak but she holds her hand up stopping him. “I’ll be second best to your career, your future, even Sam!”
“Y/N,”
“Just go, Colby,” she pointed towards the door as she wiped her eyes of the tears. He walked towards the door, rubbing his neck. He stopped short of the door before turning around. He met her gaze, her eyes were red and swollen from the tears she shed. He stared into her eyes for longer than his intent, savoring every moment.
“I never meant to hurt you,” he whispered as he turned and opened the door and left. As the door slammed shut she fell to her knees crying. Colby walked down the hall, walking as quickly as he could. He couldn’t wait for the elevator, he walked towards the staircase leading to the parking garage. He walked as fast as he could, it didn’t take him long to reach his car. He unlocked it, jumping into the driver seat. Slamming the door shut he slams his hand against the wheel several times. “Fuck!”
He leaned his head against the wheel, crying. He pulled out his phone, calling his mom. He needed her right now, he needed to be with his mom. “Hey, baby,” she answered, he shut his eyes, sighing in content. He took in a shaken breath, “Cole baby, what’s wrong?”
“I messed up, Mom, I really messed up,”
~~~
Colby was one to either hide his feelings from the fans or flat out say everything he’s feeling. After he broke up with Y/N he tweeted, “You’re everything to me,”. Most of the fans assumed he was talking about the fans, but he was talking to Y/N. He screwed up, he truly didn’t know what to do. He never tried to call her, he wanted to but he didn’t know what to say. As the nights went on he was not active on social media, many assumed it was because of the move the boys were doing. But it wasn’t.
Colby picked up the box of his things from his Corolla as he passed Sam, “You good, Bro?” he asked, as he went to hold open the door for Colby.
“Not really,” he sighed as he walked through the door, mumbling a ‘thank you’. Sam quickly followed.
“Have you talked to her?”
“She doesn’t want to talk to me, man,” he continued to walk up the stairs with the box. Sam follows him trying to console him as much as he can.
“You don’t know that. Dude I’ve known her as long as you have, you should just call her,” Colby placed the box down onto the floor before turning his body towards Sam, frustratedingly.
“You know what she said to me?” he asked angrily. Sam shook his head, “She said that I never put her first. She said that she’s second best to you! And she’s right, I picked our career and our future before her.” He huffed, “So no, I’m not going to call her,” he walked past Sam purposely bumping into him as he lefted.
“I was just trying to help you,” Sam yelled.
“Well, don’t,” Colby shot back.
~~~
After a couple of hours of the boys settling in, they decided to invite a few people over to have a little party. The boys were already drinking in the kitchen, surprisingly Colby wasn’t drinking. He knew that drinking would make him even more sad, and he didn’t want to feel any worse than he did. He leaned over to Sam, tapping his shoulder, “Can I talk to you?”
Sam nodded as he followed Colby towards the living room. “I wanted to say sorry,” he pulled the red solo cup to his lips. Sam shook his head.
“No it’s okay, you’re hurting. You loved her, so I get it,”
“I fucked up, Sam,” he spoke, clenching his jaw. He ran his fingers through his hair.
“It’ll be okay,” Sam pulled Colby into his arms. Sam had watched their relationship start from the beginning. He had seen them grow together, and love each other. Sam never thought they would break up.
“I love her so much,” he cried into Sam’s shoulder, “And I fucked it all up,” As they hugged Sam comforted his best friend as much as he could. He had only seen Colby cry a few times that he had known him. He never wanted him to be hurting, or Y/N to be hurting. Corey walked into the room clearing his throat. Colby and Sam pulled from each other looking towards Corey.
“Y/N’s here, Colby,” Corey said pointing behind him. Colby’s eyes widened as he walked towards Corey.
“She’s here? Where?” he asked, Corey pointed towards the front door.
“She wouldn’t come inside,” Corey shrugged as he walked back towards the kitchen. Sam followed him there. Colby jogged towards the entrance to their house. He pulled open the door seeing Y/N standing holding a box. He smiled nervously as his eyes met hers.
“Y/N,” he let out as he felt his heart was beating out of his chest.
“I wanted to drop these off before I left,” she sighed handing the box over to Colby. He took a hold of it, glancing down seeing his hoodies, picture frames, among other things that belonged to him. She turned to leave as he called out to her. She turned around facing him again, staring down towards her feet.
“You’re leaving? Where are you going?” he asked, placing the box down beside him, he moved out of the house. Shutting the door behind him. She rolled her eyes, huffing.
“Home,” she shrugged, sadly. She avoided his eye, she didn’t want to look at him.
“Why? Your friends are here and your career. Your life is here,” he questioned as he took a few steps closer to her. She didn’t move away from him. He wanted to hold her, pull her into his chest and never let her go. But he couldn’t.
“They’re your friends, and I can do the same stuff at home. My life isn’t LA,”
“I’m here,” he mumbled barely above a whisper. Her eyes looked into his teary ones. She took in a long breath as she wrapped her arms around her chest.
“Exactly,” she turned her body away and started walking away from him. He watched her walk quickly away from him. He pressed his lips together as he watched her push open the gate door; and leave. He blinked away his tears as he entered his house again. He picked up the box and walked towards the kitchen. The room fell silent as he entered the kitchen, everyone looking towards him sadly.
“Uh-she’s leaving,” he let out as he placed the box on top of the kitchen counter. The group looks at each other each searching for words to say. “She’s moving back to Kansas, and I need a drink,” he walked towards the counter taking a hold of a bottle of whiskey. He opened it and took a long drink.  “I’m going upstairs,” he sighed as he took a hold of the box carrying it and the whiskey with him.

More Than Enough
a/n: this is a fic that is kinda a part 2 to this ask because the lovely @theeccentricbibliophile was looking for the actual threesome teehee so i wrote one teeheeeeeeeeeeeee
also idk why but as much as i LOVE Dom!Oliver, i been feelin Sub!Oliver recently so enjoy kfjdlkjfk
hell is hot today people but its fine cuz my mom keeps the house cold
words: 2k
warnings: threesome, heavy smut, like DEADASS
summary: Oliver doesn’t like sharing, but Edward comes around.
#
“I refuse to share, especially with a pirate,” Oliver spat, crossing his arms and walking to the wall to try and make the room feel less cramped with three people crowding it. 
“Oliver, have you forgotten that I’m a pirate?” Eden crossed her arms and pointedly ignored Edward, who had begun snickering from his seat on the bed. He had already begun to take his shoes off, and Oliver scoffed.
“Please, make yourself at home in my cabin.” 
“I intend to, Lieutenant.” The title made Oliver shift in his shoes as a blush crept up his neck, forcing him to look away. Eden, however, caught it and planned to use it to her advantage. 
“Aw, Oliver, aren’t you curious?” She walked over to him and pressed close, wrapping a loose strand of his hair around her finger. He sent a nervous glance to the pirate on the bed, who was staring intently at him, before looking back into the dark eyes of the time traveler whose gaze was divided between his lips and his eyes. She stood on her tiptoes and placed her mouth right next to his ear, breath making his spine shake. The position forced his eyes elsewhere, and Edward’s eyes, authoritative and commanding, were his final target. The captain was sitting comfortably on the bed, face blank but eyes full of the thoughts that were slowly beginning to seep into Oliver’s mind. “If anything, I would be sharing you with Edward, don’t you think?” 
Oliver stammered, but his eye contact couldn’t be broken with the captain. “I--What…? What do you mean?” Edward raised an eyebrow and smirked, making Oliver’s knees nearly buckle. How is he so damn attractive?
“If you don’t want to, that’s fine, my love,” she whispered, stepping back but remaining close to him. Oliver was still staring over her head at the man on the bed. 
“I…” he trailed off, mind flashing with visuals of the captain shirtless above him, panting as Oliver sucked on hi--
Wait. 
“What’ll it be, pretty boy?” Edward asked, voice rough in a way that sent heat directly to Oliver’s dick. The next words out of his mouth were barely thought out, but he didn’t seem to care.
“I want to.”
“What was that? Couldn’t understand through your accent,” Edward taunted, fire of a challenge heating the tension between them. 
“Fuck off, pirate.” Edward was up in a flash and crossed the room in 3 steps before taking Oliver’s face in one large hand. A few inches shorter than him, Edward tugged his head down to his height, silver ring digging into his cheek almost painfully. 
“What did you just say?” Oliver could feel his dick twitch in his pants, but he quickly glanced over to Eden, who stood just a hair off to the side, watching the interaction. “Did I say you could look at her?” Edward tightened his hold, bringing Oliver’s gaze back to his. Oliver’s breath was coming out quicker and his heart was racing as he felt Eden’s hand drift to his pants, fingers sliding over his bulge in the effort to unbutton them. 
“So hard so quickly, Lieutenant.” His hard cock jumped in her hand at the title and she laughed, making a wave of heat rush to his face. “Aw, do you like being called that? How naughty…” She wrapped her lips around the tip, tonguing his slit that was already wet with precum. He choked a groan, but couldn’t hold it back when Edward’s rough stubble scraped his skin as he pressed a trail of kisses down the soldier’s throat. Oliver’s eyes squinted shut as he enjoyed the sensory overload, every hickey from the captain and flick of the tongue from the time traveler bringing him closer to bliss. All too soon, Eden’s warm mouth left his skin, and he couldn’t help the small whimper that fell from his lips. 
“Poor boy, unable to get off, hm?” Edward breathed, hot air fanning over the already sensitive bites littering the Lieutenant’s throat. “I’m going to make you beg for it.” He stepped away from him and grabbed Eden’s hand to pull her up and towards the bed, where she quickly shed her clothes and laid on the thick comforter. Ever cool and casual, Edward simply leaned against the wall next to her, cold eyes fixed on Oliver and his clear confusion in the role he was supposed to be playing. Luckily, Eden was ever eager to catch him up. 
“C’mere, handsome,” she breathed, crooking a finger to beckon him closer and smiling easily at him when Oliver briefly glanced towards Edward. He wasn’t sure why he was asking permission, but he couldn’t deny that the small nod he got from the pirate as a go-ahead was thrilling. “Good boy,” she purred as he walked into her open arms, shedding a thin shirt and pants as he went. She pulled his chin down much like Edward had and kissed him, lips insistent and urgent against his until she lightly pulled on his hair to move his mouth down, letting him forge his own path down her collarbone and breasts. Edward continued to watch, palming himself as Oliver finally reached Eden’s core, hot breath against her skin making her moan loudly. After a few minutes of her groans, he kicked off the wall and ran a hand down Oliver’s spine, stopping just before the curve of his ass. The Lieutenant’s hand meandered to wrap around his cock, but Edward ripped it away and held it behind his back, the pain mixing with the pleasure of having Eden’s juices on his tongue. 
“Do you want someone to make you come, huh?” Edward asked, tugging Oliver’s head up by his hair. “Answer me.”
“Yes, I want to come, captain.” The term slipped out, and Oliver was surprised at himself until he heard a deep laugh from behind him. 
“Captain, eh?” Edward winked at Eden over Oliver’s shoulder, where a deep red was reaching from both the teasing and the fact that he was between two of the most attractive people he’d ever met, pirates or no. “I like that coming from you.” Edward reached forward to insert two fingers into Eden, who threw her head back against the pillow as he curled his fingers. Oliver was tense beneath him, trying to figure out his next move, when Edward pulled his fingers, now coated in her arousal, out of her and immediately ran them around the rim of Oliver’s hole, tight and hot. 
“Ah!” Oliver gasped, eyes fluttering closed as he pushed back against his hand, eager for Edward to enter him as soon as possible. A calloused hand landed on his ass, making him hiss. 
“I wasn’t kidding when I said I want you to beg, Oliver.” There were already tears in his eyes as another slap sounded throughout the room. Eden’s finger swiped along his cheek, and he realized he was crying.
“Please, fuck, Captain. I want to come from your cock, I’m begging you! You make me feel so good--ah, fuck!” he pleaded and yelped when Edward inserted a single finger into him while simultaneously rubbing the bruised flesh of his ass. 
“So greedy…Eden, do you think he wants my cock as bad as he says he does?” 
“Hm…” She stroked Oliver’s jaw, still close to her folds as he panted from the stimulation of one finger inside him, brushing his prostate. A particularly hard movement of his thick finger had Oliver gasping, breath against her clit making her even wetter. 
“Let’s play a game, then.” Edward added another finger and pumped them steadily in and out of Oliver as he explained. “Make her feel good and I’ll consider fucking you.” He patted his red flesh. “Sound good?”
“Yes, sir.” 
“So obedient!” Eden giggled, the statement tapering off into a moan as his lips attached to her clit, sucking harshly. His hands flew to her thighs as she began to squirm, holding her down for easier access to her core as his tongue slipped inside her, saliva mixing with her juices as he ravaged her. Edward thrusted his fingers deep inside him, making the lieutenant moan into Eden’s skin. The sounds filling the room were downright filthy, but the three couldn’t find it within themselves to care as each were so focused on helping the other find pleasure. 
“Oliver, I--” she gasped, back arching and eyes shut as she rocked against his mouth, the added movement sending her over the edge. “Fuck, don’t stop!” A hand from behind him tangled itself in his hair, holding his head down to keep his mouth on her as she continuously came into his mouth, her cum dripping down his chin and onto the sheets below them. Edward rubbed a hand on Oliver’s ass again, humming in approval. 
“Eden, love, did that feel good?” he asked as Oliver panted between her thighs. The sight of Oliver with his ass in the air and his knees spread as he leaned down to kiss the plump skin was all too erotic, and Edward took a mental picture in case this was the last time they did this. However, with the way Oliver was pressing his backside closer to Edward, he doubted it. 
“It was, Oliver’s such a good boy for us.” 
“I have to agree.” Edward ran his hands up and down Oliver’s thighs, drawing out a whimper that made the captain laugh. “Aw, are you that desperate for my cock?” The lieutenant spread his knees even more, hair sticking to his forehead with sweat.
“Please, Captain, I need you,” he sobbed, missing the smile that Edward flashed as he lined up his cock with Oliver’s entrance. 
“Just what I like to hear.” With a slow thrust, Edward buried himself inside Oliver, who felt like he was going to pass out from the delicious stretch. Eden laid below him, smothering him with kisses and gently rubbing his shoulders. “Fuck, you feel so good wrapped around me, Ollie.” 
His voice was shaky and cracked easily. “Don’t...call me that.” Edward laughed and shifted his hips, brushing directly against Oliver’s prostate. 
“I think I can call you whatever I want right now, can’t I?” Oliver opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out was a loud groan when Edward thrusted again. “That’s what I thought.”
“Edward, you’re such a tease,” Eden laughed, pressing a small kiss to Oliver’s nose and prompting a blissed out smile from the lieutenant. 
“He loves it, just look at him.” Edward began thrusting at a steady pace, lewd sound of skin against skin reverberating off the walls. “Look at how greedily he takes my cock.”
“Such a good boy,” Eden repeated, running her fingers through his hair and tugging to pull his face up when he fell forward in pleasure. 
“Please,” Oliver whispered, tears pricking his eyes as he approached his orgasm, bliss beginning to wash over him as Edward picked up his pace. 
“That’s right, baby, come for us,” Eden encouraged, prompting a low groan from the captain. 
“Come all over the sheets, Ollie.” He punctuated it with a sharp slap that sent Oliver tumbling over the edge, his cum decorating the blanket below him with strings of white as he nearly collapsed. He clenched around Edward’s cock and, feeling his orgasm rapidly approaching him, he pulled out of Oliver and flipped him over to shoot his own load over the muscular lieutenant, ropes stringing between the sculpted abs and perfect pectorals. Edward sucked in a breath at the sight, and he nearly felt his heart stop beating as Eden reached over to lick up a small pool of his cum off Oliver, who could barely process what happened. 
“Holy shit,” he breathed, watching Eden lick a stripe up to his nipple before taking it between her lips and sucking lightly. 
“I agree,” was Edward’s gruff agreement as he bent down and joined Eden in cleaning Oliver off, tongue intent on exploring every inch of skin possible. Over his belly button, the two pirates met in a heated kiss, letting Oliver watch as it happened directly above him and made his dick twitch back to life. After a few minutes, he sat up and grabbed Edward’s chin in his hand to kiss him before turning and doing the same to Eden. 
“Round 2?”

Graveyard: Prologue
Summary: Waking up on a trash heap is never ideal. Getting imprisoned on a planet you’ve never heard of? That’s way worse. Ella was one of Asgard fiercest and most cunning protectors, but when Loki’s rebellion threatens her people’s safety, she’s made it her mission to do one thing and one thing only; kill him. By any means necessary. 
Pairing: Loki Odinson x OFC
Warnings: Imprisonment, fight scenes, general calamity, canon typical brouhaha. 
A/N: So idk where this is gonna go just yet, but here’s a lil tasty morsel. This is my first non-Bucky fic! and it features my first Marvel love--Loki <3 Tags are open :)
Tumblr media
The acrid smell of rust and filth surrounded you as you woke.
Sitting up, you realize that, once again, you’d awoken in your cell. Wishful thinking kept alive the hope that this was all a dream.
“Raaagg!” The guard with the tentacles shouted as he chucked the tray of mush under your door.
You grimaced at the sight of the chunky grayish-blue mush. “Thanks a lot.” You mumble as he walks away.
“...asshole.”
The substance jiggled when you poked it. Begrudgingly, you spooned some into your mouth. How could something this color taste like rotten carrots?
“Morning, Ella.” Korg said through your bars.
You smiled halfheartedly at him. “Hi Korg. Where’s Miek?”
“Ah, he’s part of the welcome wagon today.” He said cheerfully. “I guess a special guest arrived last night.”
You nod, eating your mush. “Really? Who is it this time?” You didn’t care, it was just nice to have a conversation with someone who could actually speak your language.
“Not sure, you know. But rumor has it he’s a King.” He said.
Rolling your eyes, you looked to him, “Aren’t they all.” The words dripped with sarcasm.
“No. Not everyone.” He said plainly. Korg was a...simple guy, sarcasm often escaped him.
“I know, Korg...I—forget it. I’ll see you tomorrow?” You ask.
“Actually, rumor has it a few prisoners are being released to the work shed to make room for new ones. I put a good word in for you!” He said happily.
Your head perked up. “Really? Thank you, Korg!”
“No sweat. Well, I have to go draw and quarter some Skartelians. Bye-bye, then!”
When Korg had left your cell front, it was once again just you, your slop, and the first glimmer of hope you had. A chance to finally be out of this fresh hell.
You’d forgotten how long you’d been in this place; a week? Maybe two? A month?
The days were long and they all blurred together. Your only solace was plotting your revenge against that repulsive megalomaniac who put you here in the first place.
The day before your capture:
“We must get to Heimdall.” Sif whispered to you. “The people need to leave this place before he enslaves them all.”
Your bloodshot eyes scanned the area. The sound of the riots outside grew louder, and guards patrolled every exit.
Almost every one.
“Sif, look.” You said, nodding to the archway just off the main corridor.
Your stealth is something you were known for. Being as clever and cunning and careful as any warrior before you. Not only that, but Sif had been the one that trained you for battle. You were just as fierce and skilled as she was.
The cold stone of the pillar pressed against your back, “I’m going. One of us needs to tell Heimdall to open the bifrost.”
Loki had cloaked the palace in a spell, blinding those in and around it from Heimdall’s sight.
She nodded, “I’ll give you as much cover as I can.”
You crouched and rolled a ways to get to the next pillar. Your steps and movements were so light, not even you heard them.
The palace guards had just done a rotation to the next corridor, and that’s when you made your breakaway.
You slipped through the archway with ease and began running down the stairs. The cobbled flights of steps were your last hurdle, then it was just a long, but mad dash down the bridge to get to Heimdall.
“Going somewhere?”
You froze. Your foot had just touched the last step, but it was too late. You’d been caught...he had caught you.
“Hm, it looks like you are. Perhaps running to that golden eyed oaf to tell him what I’ve done?”
Loki.
You swallowed thickly.
“What’s the matter, darling? Cat got your tongue?” He smirked.
“Another cheap trick? Had to conjure up a spell because you couldn’t find me yourself?” You spat back at him.
Loki began circling you. When he was right behind you, he spoke next to your ear. “Why don’t you make a run for it and see?”
It was a test. But you knew Loki would never be out here, so close to the riots. The ‘scourge of the kingdom’ rebelling against his reign and rule over Asgard.
“Alright.” You turn quickly on your heel and sprint.
You made it 20 feet when a log appeared out of no where right under your feet. You hurdled forward, stumbling and rolling on the ground.
The slam of the dirt knocked the wind clean out of you.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk...” Loki tutted. “Next time toss a pebble. That’d be a much wiser test.”
You stood as quickly as you could, and charged him. “I’d rather toss a dagger.” Your blades dropped from your sleeves into your grasp.
Slashing at him, the blade narrowly missed his throat. He stepped back smoothly, circling himself around you, before casting his duplication spell.
Suddenly you were surrounded by dozens of him. Each of them taunting you.
“Come and get me.”
Slash
“I’m over here!”
Slash
“Did you miss me?”
All attempts futile. The God of Mischief certainly was worthy of the name.
“You coward! Fight me!” You shout.
In a snap, the copies disappeared. Loki stood behind you, and cleared his throat. “Would you really kill your King, Ellaria?” He asked, using your full name.
“I’m not loyal to a throne, nor am I loyal to a murderer.” You seethe breathlessly.
Loki’s jaw clenched as he took a step away from you.
“Guards?” He said simply.
Suddenly, a dozen Asgardian soldiers surrounded you. “Please escort this little minx to the dungeons.”
You were trapped. The golden men circled you as Loki watched, enjoying the torment.
“Ella! Now!” You heard Sif shout. She had her crossbow at the ready, and fired on the guards. At her fastest, she could fire 30 arrows a minute, plenty to take out a dozen guards.
In an instant, their shields went up, and Loki crouched behind them. “Stop her!” He shouted, staring at Sif.
“Loki...” you called.
He turned quickly, and you slashed you dagger across his face, leaving a small gash on his cheek bone.
His fingertips went to feel for blood, and sure enough, it began to drip.
Loki laughed, his teeth chewing on his lip.
“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” You smirked.
You planted your boot on the shield of the guard next to you. They were all crouched so it was easier than expected. Backflipping out of the circle of them, you ran as fast as you could down the bridge, praying Loki’s spell didn’t cast that far.
“Heimdall! Heimdall!” You scream.
A quick glance over your shoulder confirms your wonder if you were being chased yet.
“Heimdall! Open the bifrost!” You’re screeching now.
Suddenly, the bridge shakes. He’d heard you!
“Ellaria, stop!” Loki shouts from behind you. You glance to see he’s on a horse, riding fast.
Your lungs expand once more, but before sound escapes you, you see a tidal way approaching you. Angry water pulled from the sea beneath you barreling down from behind you.
“Heimdall! Open the bifrost! Please!” You’re desperate. The maniac chasing you had indeed cast a spell; one to end your life. 
You watched as the bifrost began to spin, he’d heard you at last!
Suddenly the wave over took you, launching you down the length of the bridge towards Heimdall.
You were rolling and churning in the waters Loki had cast, running out of air fast.
You’d gotten sent so far by the massive wave, somehow you been forced past Heimdall and into the still-turning stream of light that was the bifrost.
The surge of energy sent your body into a whirlwind. You were soaring through the universe in an iridescent ray of light made of enough energy to light up a continent.
After what seemed like mere seconds, you felt yourself enter and atmosphere. Shortly after that, you’d landed on a pile of...trash?
The tingles rushing through your body drained you. You’d never been in the bifrost alone before, and it was clear your body couldn’t handle the amount of power surging around it.
Clicks and pops made you open your eyes. Shielding them from the sun with your hand, you found yourself surrounded by humanoid creatures of every size and color. 
They were speaking. Communicating to one another.
“Help me. Please help me.” You begged, hoping feigning weakness would stop any unwanted hostility.
The orange creature reached his hand out--a hand with eight fingers, and you took it. He hoisted you up to your feet, and gave you a half smile. 
“Thank you.”
He nodded, “Mezbanjala fo tutu.” He clicked his tongue quickly.
“I-I’m sorry, I don’t understand you.” You said, shaking your head.
The group of creatures eyes suddenly widened, and the lot of them began shouting and running away.
“Hey! Wha--”
You felt a sharp pain in your neck, and then everything went black.

Chapter 17: Wisteria p. iii 
Jonathan collapsed next to Katie, panting hard after their fourth round of sex that night. When they had gotten home, Katie suggested taking a shower and bath together… Which led to the third round of sex. After that, Jonathan wanted to go down on her properly which led to the fourth and final round of intense love making.
"I think-" Katie panted, looking over at Jonathan and giggling "I think maybe we should call it quits tonight." Exhaustion was evident in her voice and nuzzled closely to her boyfriend.
"I'm inclined to agree." Jonathan wraps an arm around her, chuckling at how much they fucked yesterday and today. "For God sake, you'd think I'm a spry young man again with how many times I've wanted to make love to you." He raised his brows and pulled the sheets over their cooling bodies. Sleep was not too far behind Pine either as his eyelids began to droop. He stared at Katie, watching her fall into a deep, peaceful slumber. Never before had he felt so attached to one person. He was crazy for this girl and it almost scared him from just how insatiable his feelings were for her. Despite the actions of tonight, Pine couldn't help but feel something was about to go wrong. Because of his grim intuition, Jonathan came up with an idea of how to take down Wisteria once and for all… Although he wasn't happy about what this idea exactly was.
------------
"I'm surprised you even agreed to it." Roper spoke, unlit cigarette between his lips.
Abbadon scrunched her nose in disgust and stared out at the sea. She and Roper were personally stationed at one of Masayuki's elaborate, traditional homes. This particular "sanctuary" was untouched by any sort of business as it resided on the cliffside. There was access to a private beach, a natural hot spring a bit further away in the forest, and other necessities of a cliffside manor. "I never agreed to anything, Roper." She huffed and pulled her shawl around her shoulders, chilled from the bite of the sea breeze. “I’m doing this for myself and my son, I’ve told you this.”
Richard took a drag off of his now lit cigarette and blew smoke out, putting his lighter away. “Yes, so you have. I’m just curious though… Do you actually think your tyrant of a brother will ever let you see your son again?”
Anger flared up in the woman’s eyes and she grabbed Roper by the collar of his coat, teeth bared. “You already know the answer to that!” She threw him back with a little force and snarled. “I do not appreciate you bringing my son into conversation in such a casual manner! You are lucky that I did not push you harder or you would be tumbling to your pitiful death-”
“My fellow comrades! Why all the arguing?” Travis stepped out from the house, looking over the cliffside for a moment and shuddering. He did not do well with heights at all and was rather angry at Masayuki for choosing this to be their base.
Abbadon glared at Richard, storming past him and then giving the same glare, with just as much venom, to Travis. “Comrades? You’re joking. I would never even consider a sick fuck like you to be an ally.” She spat, going back into the manor to escape the men and bitter cold.
Travis whistled, walking to Roper and grinning at him. “You know I should really shove you off the edge of this cliff for what you did to my men.”
Roper puffed out smoke, raising his brows and did not seem bothered by his comment in the slightest. “You’d be the second person today to inform me that you’d like to shove me off the cliff. Come up with something more original, will you? Also, get better men who can actually dodge.” A small smirk touched his lips.
Instead of being offended, the leader of Bloodroot let out a cold laugh and shook his head. “I’m actually glad you got rid of them, though I had to take care of Andrew after. He’s rotting somewhere in that one forest near Mt. Fuji… I didn’t kill him, I convinced him to do the deed himself. I know how to make a person go mad with doubt, I know how to break them and plant lies into their heads…”
“You truly are a sick fucker aren’t you?” Richard put his cigarette out and frowned. “Telling someone to kill themselves just because they aren’t up to your standards. That’s low, Travis. I can’t say much myself though, but at least I don’t get pleasure out of doing it.” He began to make his way back inside, turning around one last time. “Oh and by the way, maybe I should shove you off of the cliff. You seem to be the most deranged out of us all and will be better off dead than alive.”
-----------------
The next morning arrived with Jonathan carefully examining the outside of their rental. He did notice some activity that confirmed his suspicions of last night. It seemed a bit odd that Masayuki didn’t have any bodyguards with him and lacked henchmen yesterday. Pine knew that he had something up his sleeve for the strange absence of men. However, Katie did point out as they were walking home that two men had been following them at a short distance. They had dressed as normal civilians but acted too suspicious to actually be residents of the area. The same two men were found stalking about outside near the rental, making Jonathan uneasy. There were too many innocent people around and he didn’t want to have another blood bath like the time at The Prince Sakura, just a few weeks ago. His phone began to ring and he went inside, answering it. “Angela, we’re in a bit of a tight spot.”
“I know that already by the sound of your voice… But you’ve also got a plan haven’t you?” Angela was browsing a toy store, looking for something for her little one. It didn’t help that she couldn’t read Japanese so she was having a bit of a hard time with it.
“Yeah, but it involves us voluntarily giving ourselves up to get closer to Wisteria and take Masayuki down. I’m having Kate contact the police today to inform them of our plan and that they are going to need back up. I can’t imagine that the manor is going to be empty when we arrive.” Pine looked over his shoulder, making sure Katie wasn’t around at the moment. “We have visitors outside of our rental. Some of Wisteria henchmen. They followed us last night after I got Kate out of the situation she was in. I can’t talk for too much longer as we need to get this plan set in stone. I’ll send you a text later-” Jonathan hung up and walked over to the stairwell, only to find Katie standing there. He rubbed the back of his neck out of slight guilt, “You heard everything, didn’t you?”
The brunette nods, walking down and moving past Jonathan. “I did. I don’t know if that plan will work, Jonathan.” She turned to face him, uncertainty evident in her voice. “Masayuki has Bloodroot with him too. Who knows if Travis and his scum bags are also there. We can’t count on police interference when we don’t know how many of them there are.” She swallowed hard. This was a risky move, but in order to not shed blood this was their only option. The thought of more innocent people dying had Katie’s stomach churn. Like Pine, she did not want a repeat of The Prince Sakura; especially since there were children out and about.
“So what are we going to do then? Wait like sitting ducks? We don’t have time Kate, it’s either we call for backup and tell them we found his main base or people die.” Jonathan walked down, his brows knit together in concern. Logically, the law enforcement was more than aware of Masayuki’s crimes but had no clue of where his base was. They had enough evidence to lock him up for life already as he had been arrested a plethora of times beforehand. All they needed was the base location.
“No!” Katie shook her head and looked at her boyfriend like he was crazy. She turned her gaze away from him and sighed deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose. “I just-... We’ve spent so much time together that I almost forgot we had a job to do.” She admitted quietly and turned her back on Pine. “Alright. I-I’ll call the police but then what happens after that?”
“We hand ourselves over like I said. I suggest you get dressed in something you’ll be able to fight in and not just my shirt.” He walked over, giving her bare ass a smack and grinning. Jonathan did his best to lighten the grim mood, but he only received a whine of annoyance.
After about an hour long phone call, Katie and Jonathan prepared themselves for their plan. Like Pine had said earlier, Katie put on more suitable wear for fighting as it was inevitable. “They should be heading to the location now.” The brunette placed her knife on her belt loop, pulling her cardigan down over it. She let out a shaky breath, more nervous than before as this was more dangerous than anything she had previously encountered.
“Hey.” Jonathan took her shoulder gently, turning her to face him and tilting her chin up. “It’s gonna be ok, baby.” His eyes gleamed truthfully. “I won’t let anything happen to you.” He leaned in, kissing Katie deeply.
Katie kissed back just as eagerly, her arms wrapped around his neck and body pressed against his. She opened her mouth, allowing his tongue in and moaning softly.
Pine pulled away before things could get more heated, the sex would have to wait. “Come on.” He took her hand in his own, lacing his fingers with hers as he led them both out.
The brunette turned around and let go of Jonathan’s hand to lock the door. “I’ll go first.” She took a deep breath, stepping out into the street with her head held high. “Oi! Watashi ga kita, anata wa kakureru koto kara nukedasu koto ga dekimasu.” She spoke loudly and waited for the two men that had followed them to walk out. Instead of just two, around ten men walked out causing Katie to gasp and run for Pine. “Watashi o hanashite!!” She felt hands grab her and heard Jonathan yell for her. “Hanashite!!” This was not going as they had planned.
“Iiya, anata wa jōshi e no tokubetsu haitatsudesu.” One of the men holding her chuckled. “Zan’nen’na! Watashitachi wa anata ga nani o shiyou to shite ita ka o sudeni shitte imasu. Keisatsu wa ima anata o tasukeru koto ga dekimasen. Watashitachi wa sukoshi mae ni sono mondai ni taisho shimashita.” He clicked his tongue and held his phone up, showing Katie pictures of the slaughter that had been committed shortly after she had made her call.
“S-Sore muri!!” Her eyes were wide with horror as she couldn’t believe they had gotten one step ahead of them. A cry of pain brought her out of her disbelief as she looked over to see Pine being pummeled. “YAMETE!!” KARE O HANATTE OITE!!” She cried out, tears streaming down her face as she was helpless against the five men who held her still. “YAMETE!!” She begged, beginning to thrash her body. A cloth was placed over her mouth and nose as she struggled to break free and soon her body fell still and vision blacked out. Pine had been put in the same predicament as he fell victim to a chloroform rag as well. Both of them were lifted over the henchmen’s shoulders and carried out of their street. As they were being carried, blood of the innocent had once again been spilled as it stained the road. Bodies of families and on goers littered the streets every other house. An hour later, police had finally showed up, but it had already been too late; lives had been lost by the hands of Wisteria once more.
------------------
“D-Daniel-san!!” Masayuki sat up straight, shoving one of his male whores off of him as his boss made an entrance. “What a p-pleasant surprise to see you, sir! Yes, come in! Please have a seat-”
The dark haired man waved his hand and smiled, “Oh no I won’t be staying for very long. I have news that troubles me so and I believe you have the answer.” He began to walk toward Masayuki, prowling around him like a predator ready to strike. “You see, I had been told my dear sister is wandering about in the streets of this country after escaping the place I ordered her to stay put.” His golden eyes shimmered maliciously. “Why didn’t you inform me the minute she had visited, Kibutsuji? Hm? Is it because you were too busy counting your money? Fucking a whore or two? Touching my μικρό ποντίκι? Oh I’m very aware of that too and how you fancy her. I have agents everywhere, “Yakuza lord”, and unlike you they actually inform me immediately of things that do not necessarily please me.” Daniel turned around, nodding to the three bodyguards that came in with him. He watched as they exited the vicinity before turning his nefarious gaze back to Masayuki.
The leader of Wisteria ordered his whores and servants to leave, but his bodyguards to stay. “So, you have come here to taunt me? To insult my services to you?” He growled, grabbing a long, slim object from behind him.
His action did not go unnoticed and Daniel took this as a sign of betrayal. “No. I have come here to inform you of your mistakes… And that Wisteria is no longer required of it’s services. From here on out, Daphne will be taking charge of Wisteria’s business as The Tigress has proved herself recently.” The vile man grinned wickedly.
Masayuki flicked his hand forth, eyes wide with anger “ROKUDENASHI O KOROSU!!” His men flew past their leader and pulled out their Katana they had been hiding.
Daniel cracked his neck and chuckled, dodging the swings of the blades and knocking the weapons out of the henchmen's hands. “Pathetic.” He muttered, grabbing one of the swords and cleanly decapitating one of them. “Wrong choice to try and kill me!” He taunted, again moving with fluidity and disemboweling the other henchman. This left Masayuki and Daniel at a standoff.
Nostrils flared, the Yakuza lord ripped his shirt off to show his tattoos that covered his entire torso. “It will be you that dies by my blade.” He removed his katana from its sheath and drew a deep breath, focusing his energy. “BY THE BLOOD OF THE SAMURAI!!” Masayuki cried out, charging forth and clashing blades with Daniel.
“Good! I haven’t had this much fun in ages!! Finally I get to show you how truly deadly I am.” Daniel purred, putting one arm behind his back and effortlessly knocking the strikes against him back. “Come now, are you really using old Samurai techniques? This is the 21st century Masayuki! Not the age of the warrior!” Belladonna’s leader spun around, slamming his blade down upon his opponent’s wrist. To add to injury, Daniel then sliced Masayuki’s achilles tendons and hamstrings. “Tsk, I was expecting more of a challenge.” He frowned and raised his eyebrows at the screaming crime lord. His eyes shined with pure evil as he watched Masayuki lay on the floor, bleeding out. “I could give you mercy and just slit your throat here and now, but what fun would that be?” He knelt down to look him in his dying eyes. “Sayonara, failed samurai.” He chuckled softly before standing up and tossing the blade aside, walking out and leaving the former Wisteria leader to die from a dishonorable way.
“Sir, Richard Roper is on the line.” One of Daniel’s henchmen handed the leader his phone.
“Ahh yes! Roper my friend, you have my sister with you do you not?” Daniel shucked off his white suit coat as it had been stained with blood.
Richard looked down at a bound Abbadon and snorted, “Already set for you Mr. Hasapis-”
“YOU SON OF A BITCH!! I WILL HAVE YOUR FUCKING HEAD!! BOTH OF YOU!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?” Abbadon shrieked, her teeth bared. Not too long ago, she had been tricked by Roper into believing he had a way to get to her son. Angry tears ran down her pale face as she glared at Richard, she was upset with herself enough, but more so that she thought Roper may have been an ally. Abbadon truly believed that maybe Roper was perhaps willing to help her as he could relate to her situation.
“Tsk, such a filthy mouth on her. Didn’t your mother ever use soap?” Richard chuckled to himself, lighting a cigarette.
“Unfortunately, no. That is a good idea though! Perhaps we should consider cutting her tongue out if she speaks to me like that again- On second thought maybe we will cut Niko-” Daniel smiled to himself as he heard his sister wail at the threat, taking pleasure in listening to her pain. “Anyways, Wisteria has been taken care of and handed over to The Tigress over in Seoul. She has impressed me as of late with the amount of prostitutes she has pushed through. She also has managed to find time to pick up Wisteria’s slack, which further impressed me. In the meantime, I will be flying out to Korea tonight to get things settled in. I want my sister in Seoul by the morning, is this understood, Roper?”
“But of course, Mr. Hasapis, but of course.” Roper hung the phone up and then ordered his men to take a hysterical Abbadon away. “Those two should be here shortly.” He took a drag off of his partially forgotten cigarette and walked out of the room Abbadon had previously taken space in.
Just in time, two men walked in with an unconscious Katie O’Connor in one’s arms. The other man threw a half conscious Pine in front of Roper’s feet.
“Take the girl to Travis’s room and follow what he wants you to do from there.” Roper waved his hand, putting his cigarette out and shoving his hands in his pockets. “What a pity.”
Jonathan looked up, his vision spinning “You sick fuck-” he slurred. Pine was trying to get up as best as he could, but failed as he was promptly kicked in the gut by Richard.
“Oh don’t you have something else to say? I’ve heard that one once from you, come up with something better! Is your age catching up with you? It’s a bitch. Sooner or later you might have to start taking viagra-” Roper grinned at the frustrated growl from Pine.
“Shut the fuck up! Give me Kate. Please.” He begged, falling face forward and falling into a state of sleep again.
The double agent looked down at Pine, kicking his hand to see if he was faking it or not. Shrugging, he walks over to the door and picks up his suitcase. “I hope this is the last time we’ll see each other, Pine! Nighty night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite!” He gave a toothy grin to the unconscious man before walking out of the manor and making his journey back to Spain.
------------------
The lights in the room were blinding as Katie opened her eyes, covering them with her arm. She groaned and slowly sat up, rubbing her head. “Jonathan?” She croaked, her eyes shut and head now throbbing. “Baby? Jonathan?” She called out again.
“Yes? I’m not Jonathan, but I respond to baby.” Travis walked in, closing the sliding door and grinned wickedly.
Katie’s eyes shot open and her heart stopped. She began to tremble violently as Travis came into her line of sight. “No… No, please no.” The brunette girl began to hyperventilate despite the horrible throbbing of her head. “NO!! NO!!” She screamed, struggling in Travis’s hard grasp. Katie continued to scream loudly, trying her best to kick and shove her vile ex off of her. The room suddenly felt more cool as she realized then she was only wearing a robe that fell open. It was at that moment she was mounted by the man who had ruined her life for two years, and she was unable to escape.
From below, Jonathan had been thrown in the basement and bound. He woke up to the sounds of a woman screaming like she was being murdered. His heart sank as he realized it was Katie who was wailing like that. Try as he might, there was nothing that Pine could do to save her from Travis. He could only lay in the damp, darkness and listen to the woman he loved being raped violently above. Those screams that Jonathan heard that night would haunt him for the rest of his days as Cameron’s began to mix into Katie’s shrieks
