MDNI 18+
Captain MacTavish doesn't play music when he fucks you anymore. Instead, he'll find some classic 90s action flick and set the volume to 11. Then proceed to bend you over every flat surface within sight as the distinctive baritone of Arnold Schwarzenegger echoes around your apartment.
You question him after a few times. Asking why he doesn't choose his usual playlist. He answers with a nonchalant, 'wanted to change things up a bit'. You don't question him any further.
And he breathes a sigh of relief. Because God forbid you ever know that he nearly blew his cover to Don Henley's 'Dirty Laundry'.
The memory of your supple lips around his cock invading behind his eyes as he took position behind some dilapidated hotel. The beat muffled and distorted through the broken speakers, yet still he recalled the way your tongue flattened so perfectly around him, nearly causing him to bust in his pants as he momentarily lost all focus on his main objective.
Once they RTB, he decides not to join the rest of the team as they watch Terminator 2. The echo of your screams while he railed into you doggy style still too fresh in his mind. He'd rather take care of business in the privacy of his own quarters. And to the subtle and enigmatic nuances of Enya's 'Sail Away'.

📞Wait a minute while I make you mine part.4(final)
Featuring: Ace x F!reader
Warning: NSFW content, MINORS DNI !!!
Note: I’m back I’m sorry 👩🏻‍💻idk if I hate writing smut because it takes me so much time, or because I wish IRL men were like this.
Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.
Tumblr media
4.Giving up
Ace looked at you as he expected some sort of words to exit his mouth. Every of his heartbeat felt closer to death to him as his mind rushed with thoughts he has been having of you. He was put on the spot and Ace couldn't find a way to portray his emotions to you in words or actions, tell you exactly why his heart always felt warmer near you. Faced to your question, his basic ability to speech were gone.
-What do you mean?
It was the best thing he could let out. His heart was beating fast as he watched your features change to a defeated smile that covered your lips. His hand reached the back of his head where he let it slide back to his jawline, to finally let it fall back to his side.
-I don't know Ace? Do I really need to be more direct than this. I just don't know how to feel about you anymore..
You replied with a dry chuckle, your eyes flickered to his figure. His heart winced at your words. Were you mad because of the stunt Enya pulled? It wasn't your type to get jealous over someone or even show you care. You never did with him or with anyone so what could've possible happened to make you switch your behavior.
-I'm not sure I truly grasp the situation, y/n.
-Ugh, you can be so dense.
You exhaled as you stand up and face him. You sighed in frustration as you walked towards him with your heels in one hand. You pulled your short dress down and pushed your hair out of your face. Eyelashes a little wet from the slight crying, you looked up to him and quickly bit your lips.
-Listen, dumb fire boy. I like you and a part of me hate to admit it, but here it is, you do what you want with this information.
You admit through your lashes. Ace watched you closely with lips parted, surprised by your sudden confession. Your gaze shifted from his eyes to the red lipstick's mark left on his neck. You trailed it with the edge of your fingers, before brushing it with your thumb, smudging it away from his skin.
-..And honestly I hate seeing other persons leave marks on your body if it's not me
Ace surprised expression quickly changed into the familiar cocky grin you were so familiar to. He closed the distance between you two and tilted his face down. His breath brushed your nose as you felt his fingers softly grip your waist.
-So, you like me, huh?
You roll your eyes as a smile curved your lips. Your eyes flickered to his lips for a quick second and back to his brown eyes as you took the opportunity to wrap your arms around his neck.
-Yeah... I like you … very much.
You let in a shaky whisper as your own nervousness was now difficult to hide. He slightly giggled and his eyes stared at you for a moment, enjoying the proximity of your body after imagining it for so long. You were so pretty to his eyes.
-I like you too
-Then, just kiss me already
And without missing any time, Ace pressed his lips against yours. The earning you two had for each other for such a long time was clearly being shown through the kiss, it was bit rough but still sensual. Ace's hands travelled down to your hips and butt as he brought you closer to him. Your fingers interlocking with his darks locks as you barely pulled them, it left him grunting in your mouth. You wanted more, he wanted more.
-fuck.. I can't get enough of you
He panted between the wet kisses interchanged between y'all lips. You let one hand slide to his nude chest as the other cupped the side-end of his jawline. You didn't even want to hide that your need for him was almost unbearable at the moment.
-Ace.. I need you.
As if he was only waiting for you to say those words, he quickly pulled you towards one of the long chairs where he sat and brought you down to his laps. You hovered over him and his hands directly went on your ass where he grabbed it earning a gasp from your lips. But, he didn't even let you react properly as he dived back into kissing you more hungrily than ever by grabbing the back of your head with one of his hands.
-Ace you're not going to fuck me here, aren't you?
You ask pushing him away with your two hands pressed on his chest. He laid back and looked at you with a challenging smirk.
-Whos going to see anyway, its so dark out here
-Ace...
He slapped your ass making you gasp once again. You stared at him defeated by his totally nonchalant and shameless behavior.
-Since, when did I ever care about that. I'm a pirate baby.
He concluded the "conversation" by pulling your wrist towards him so your body fell on his, once again. He cupped your cheeks with one hand as the other pushed away the few strands of hair on your face.
-Is it fine with you sweetheart?
You took a big breath. At this point you didn't even care because you felt so wet and you desperately needed release no matter what. You looked down at his eyes and smirked as you pecked his lips.
-Yeah, it's more fun this way
He smirked right back and adjusted his position, but thrusted into you in the process. His growing hard bulge brushing against your wet core, made you moan , a moan that you quickly tried to conceal with your hand.
-Don't do that
He whispered into your ears, nibbling on your neck. sucking your skin while you started to grind against him.
-I don't want people to hea-
You quickly got cut off with a moan escaping your lips as he intentionally pushed his hips up again. You quickly glared at him as you watched a cocky smirk grow on his face. You rolled your eyes and lightly pulled some of his hair intertwined between your fingers. He chuckled and gave your collarbone a last kiss before he looked up at you with the same shitty confident grin.
-Be vocal, I like it
He said smiling while playing with your ass and jiggling it in his hands. You looked at him almost speechless at his incredibly laidback attitude. You would never believe that he has touched himself multiple of times imagining you on top of him, fucking you or you sucking him off, that he was eager to feel you around him.
-Alright, as much I want us to take our time, let's hurry. Need some prep, angel?
-What happened to your "I don't care who see us" bs?
You asked with a cocked eyebrow as you felt him slide his digits under your panties. He pushed your panties to the side as he let his fingers get coated by your wetness. You gripped his shoulders as you pushed your body forward, inviting him to push them inside.
-I take this as a no?
-Acee, stop being a tease.
You whined as you let your head rest on the crook on his neck. You felt his torso vibrating against your arms as he giggled at your whines. He pushed two of his fingers inside of you, thrusting them in and out of you in the perfect needed pace.
-Fuck..
You sighed as you felt your pleasure slowly building up. He quickened the pace, making his fingers roughly hit your sweet spot as your juices ran down his hand.
-So good to me, you want my cock sweetheart
-Yes, please
-What do you want baby? Use your words
-I want your cock Ace, please
He pulled out his fingers bringing them over to his mouth where he quickly sucked away the juice and opened his belt.
-Wait, let me do that
He put his hands back on your hips as he watched you do your thing. You sat a little over his knees and unzipped his shorts. You took his already hard dick in your hands, smearing the pre-cum on the tip. You leaned over him, kissing his lips as you stroke his length. His hands cupped your face as he deepened the kiss by pushing his tongue in your mouth. Drool all over y'all faces and his dick twitching in your hand, you got closer to him angling his tip closer to your hole. You slowly sank down, earning both of you to moan in each others mouth. Ace finally let go to catch his breath, his head resting on the back of the chair.
-You feel so good, fuck
He let you some time to get used to his dick inside of you before he started to move slowly his hips. You sighed as the fullness he provided you, was enough to make you easily build up the pleasure you had earlier with his fingers. You closed your eyes as you once again rest your head on his chest.
-You're okay baby?
He asked making sure as he softly caressed your head. You nodded and with that he adjusted his position to have a better angle to thrust in you. He was slow at first, but he gradually caught up the pace. You started to move your hips along with his to add more friction. The sound of your bodies loving each other quickly filled the empty quiet space. You unintentionally bit his chest to muffle a loud moan when his dick hit a perfect spot.
-Hey...what did I say earlier..
You couldn't even talk back as you were simply too focused with the feeling of his dick hitting you so good inside, the way his thumb rubbed against your clit and how his other hand was gripping your ass.
-Can't ..even talk h-huh?
He teases in a shaky voice before letting a groan out. He loved feeling your breast rubbing against his chest and your ass clapping against his shorts as it moved up and down. With the rush of adrenaline of possibly being caught and fucking outside, he felt like he was almost over the edge already.
-Ace...I'm so close, faster please
He moved faster, controlling now your hips pace too. Your nails dug into his shoulders as a last stroke accompanied with his thumb pressed slightly against your clit, made you release all over his dick. You screamed his name, your body shaking in his hold as he thrusted harder and faster to reach his own high, cumming inside of you. You two were panting hard as Ace fingers were brushing up and down your back.
-My legs feel numb...
You pant as you looked up to him. He opened his eyes to stare at your eyes, before you two chuckled.
-It's fine, ima take care of you after we get back to the ship. i just need to catch my breath.
A comfortable silence set as you let your head fall on his chest, hearing his quick heartbeat.
-You came inside huh
-Yeah, sorry about that-
-It's fine, im on the pill dirty ass.
-Dirty ass??
-Yeah??It will be dripping down my legs when we walk back to the ship, gross.
-Oh..., didn't think about that. Ima carry you, don't worry.
-Thanks
Ace smiled to himself enjoying your presence and the moment. His hand was still caressing your back.
-Soooo ...we are going out now?
-That's a stupid question
-Okay mister-super-dense
He laughed as he remembered the early scene where he was totally confused to your indirect confession. He kissed your forehead, loving how your eyes glittered when they stared into his.
-Yeah, yeah whatever.... but yes, I can finally call you mine

Eris's hands were clasped behind his back as he stood rigidly next to the female who had now become shackled to him. His bride had only repeated the words of binding in a dull, dry tone and shifted her face slightly so he’d kiss her cheek rather than her lips in front of everyone. Already, she had more nerve than he anticipated. He had only smiled.
The two now stood in their finest before his parents, the festivities of the wedding raging on behind them. It would continue to rage on when the bride and groom took their leave. It all meant nothing to either of them.
Eris stood in his suit, tailor-made, and fitted in forest green. Iris’s bridal gown of white covered every inch of her, painted against every delicate curve. Eris had only stolen glances, not looking for too long. The hatred in her eyes had become grating. 
He spared Iris another side glance, aware his father was watching him, and gave his parents a tight-lipped smile. “Thank you, Father. You spared no costs on this wedding.”
“If only the bride and groom seemed to enjoy it as well.” 
Eris offered his father another tight smile. “It all happened so fast. We’re both a bit whiplashed but I’m sure Iris loved it as much as I did,” he said and finally fully looked at his bride. “Didn’t you...wife?”
Iris automatically bowed her head towards the Lord and Lady of Autumn and turned her gaze to her now-husband. “Of course...husband. Forgive me, I am a little tired. It’s been a long day.”
Eris and Iris.
Iris and Eris.
He only looked at her with boredom.
She looked at him wanting to desperately snap his neck.
“Well, run along then. Enjoy your wedding night. Don’t embarrass me, son. Make sure to show your bride a good time.” Beron mused with a laugh and the Lady of Autumn, Lady Enya, gave Eris a pleading look as he nodded to his parents. 
“Welcome to the family, Iris.” Lady Enya said softly.
Iris bowed her head in thanks and turned once more to look at her now-husband who gave her a small smirk and Eris couldn’t take his eyes off her. Couldn’t help the slight glee at how hard she was trying not to sneer back at him.
“Come along wife, it’s time for the fun part of being married,” Eris said with a coy smile and held out his arm. 
But Iris only stared at it. She stared at his arm and wondered what would happen if she just...snapped it off his body. Or stabbed him. Or at least attempted either option. Her father had nearly ripped her head off when he found out about the small knife hidden beneath her dress. The sting of his smack had barely settled down before she walked into her wedding. Nonetheless...her fingernails could be sharp enough to maim.  
When a moment passed and Iris still hadn’t taken his arm, Eris stepped closer to her.
“Take my fucken arm before I drag you out of here.” he hissed and Iris blinked then tilted her head towards him with a shy smile, the ever-blushing bride as she approached him and slipped her arm through his. Never mind that it was trembling slightly.
“Try dragging me out,” she said softly. “I’ll only end up dragging your bleeding body back across this hall.”
It was Eris’s turn to blink then his lips twisted into a smirk. “Is that what your eyes have been trying to tell me? We can fulfill your dirty little fantasy once we’re alone.”
Iris stood before her husband and schooled her expression so that anyone looking at her would see her gaze reverent rather than murderous. As if they didn’t know how reverent murdering someone you hated could be. 
“Oh, does that mean once we’re alone, I can run a blade several times through your torso?” she said sweetly. “Because that’s exactly what I was fantasizing about.”
Eris chuckled, his eyes drinking in the sight of her. The challenge in her voice. The sternness in her hooded eyes. “Big words for a shaking gazelle in a room full of wolves,” he said softly and leaned in to kiss her temple, ever the besotted groom. “Don’t forget, you married the worst of them. I’d watch that pretty mouth if I were you.”
Iris let him pull away and let him see the shy smile on her face even as rage flashed in her eyes. Her grip tightened on his arm and she leaned into him again.  “Or what?”
A chuckle slipped out before he could help himself. Bold. She was bolder than he expected. “You’ll find out once we’re behind a closed door, wife.”
He felt her body tense but paid her no mind as he nodded his acknowledgment to the people congratulating them, as he did practically drag her out of the room. The sooner they got out of there, the sooner this night would be over and he could somehow think of how to handle this female that had been shoved at him. 
They walked in silence down the hall, nodding to any lingering guests before turning a corner and the path before them was empty.
“Did you lose your tongue, little gazelle? No more big words now that you don’t have an audience?” he said quietly, as the two walked down the halls of The Forest House towards their wing. A whole wing where he was to now live with his little lady. “Not going to try and run?”
She finally yanked her arm free from his and openly glared. “And go where?” she spat. “As if you wouldn’t drag me back here and humiliate me for trying.”
Eris only hummed his response and watched as she huffed then continued walking and he took the time to openly observe her in the silence. In a tense, nearly suffocating silence. 
His wife. 
Wife. 
He mouthed the word silently to himself then frowned thinking of how, for the second time, he was forced into a union he had little say in. At least this one hadn’t fucked anyone else as far as he was aware. 
It wouldn’t have mattered if she did at this point. She was now his and he was hers. There was no escape. There would be nobody else. And Eris wasn't exactly sure how to feel about this. 
How was he supposed to feel about a female he knew nothing about? How, exactly was he supposed to feel when he had only found out a month before the wedding that she was to be his?
Her father, a wealthy merchant — a criminal as Eris had understood, wanted to build better ties with the High Lord of Autumn to no doubt get away with things he shouldn’t. Never mind that the male was as big of a piece of shit as his father. He had simply offered his daughter to Beron as a bride for Eris like she meant nothing to him. Wrapped her up for him like a delicious dessert to be eaten. 
And delicious she was. Eris let his eyes roam her body as she stalked in front of him toward the room. She didn't even know which way they were supposed to be going and yet, the confidence in her walk of rage didn’t hold her back. Her chestnut brown hair coiled up in braids, the tiara sitting atop her head, exposing her long lovely neck.
The train of her dress trailed behind her and he only quirked his brow at the design, not as frilly as he had expected. Then again, he knew nothing about her. No one had given him the chance.
Eris stepped on the tip of the dress’s train and she startled, a small gasp escaping her lips. Turning sharply, she glared at him.
“Get off my dress.” she seethed but he only gave her a small smile.
“We’re here.” he said and watched as she froze again, color seeming to drain from her face. He pursed his lips and wondered just how badly she thought this was going to go. “Are you thinking about running now?”
This seemed to unfreeze her body and Iris blinked at him. “Just open the door.” she muttered quietly. But he could hear her heart beating. He could almost taste her fear and his lips curled in disdain.
Eris waved his hand for the door to open and with a mocking bow, he gestured for Iris to step inside. She gave him a withering look then slowly stepped into the room and Eris followed her in. 
The two stood in the doorway of the suite taking in the grandness, the room a swirl of all the autumn colors in one, coming together to give it a look of a magical place of rest. Never mind that the two people required to live here wanted to do anything but be in this space. The suite was huge, decorated with a seating area in one corner, a small dining space in another, a bedroom set that included a large closet across the wall, a vanity, and —
Iris’s eyes fell on the bed that was big enough to fit six people and her fists clenched. She only gave him a look of loathing and wrapped her arms around herself, wanting to refuse even acknowledging the space.
But then Eris closed the door and locked it, and the sense of panic she had been holding back all day filled the room. He heard her swallow and as he took one step closer, Iris whirled around.
“Don’t touch me.” she snarled.
Eris paused then took a deep breath, his hands once again clasped behind his back, a sour taste in his mouth. Naturally, she was to assume the worst about him. Naturally, he might as well oblige her. 
“You’re my wife now. I thought the whole point of the wedding night was for us to be touching as much as possible,” he said quietly, his signature smirk gracing his face as he moved closer to her. “Or did they not teach you that?”
Iris flushed and shot him a glare, pointing viciously. “Don’t you take that tone with me or I’ll make you regret it.”
Eris’s smile was feral at the challenge. “Claws are coming out now, are they, wife?” he said quietly and took another step closer. “I wonder if you have claws like that in bed.” He tilted his head, observing her. “Why is your dress so modest? Didn’t they tell you I like to see some skin?”
She took another step back, hating the predatory look in his gaze. “You won’t be near my dress for too long so don’t concern yourself with it.”
“Are you sure about that? I do need to fulfill my husbandly duties and take it off of you.” he said again and took the final step for them to share a breath. “Make you feel all the wonderful things a husband should make his wife feel.”
“Stop talking to me that way.” she hissed, shoving him back.
He chuckled and grabbed her arm firmly, pulling her into his chest. “I will talk to you however I see fit, especially when it makes you flush so beautifully.” 
And indeed, Eris hadn’t gotten the chance to stare at her so openly until this moment and it was unfortunate how beautiful she actually was. Very unfortunate, he thought, especially when his own heart started beating wildly in his chest and he felt hers sing to the same erratic rhythm. 
The world seemed to still as his fingers gripped her arm. His amber eyes found her hazel ones and both pairs of eyes widened slightly. His gaze intensified as he soaked in her features and how a few loose strands of hair had slipped to frame her face so wonderfully. Iris’s own thoughts had paused at how close his lips were to hers and the way he stood so elegantly and effortlessly towering over her. 
It was truly unfortunate. Because Eris’s eyes had flickered down to her lips and back, the corner of his lips lifting. How much would she hate him if were to kiss her? Could he have one taste? 
Iris flushed deeply as Eris leaned in even closer and she did the only thing she could think of to get away from him.
Eris let out a groan of pain as she kneed him in the balls and crossed to the other side of the room.
“What the fuck was that for?” he hissed, doubled over, his glare meeting the one Iris shot at him.
“I told you not to touch me. Married or not.” she hissed, taking a step back. “And based on everything I’ve heard about you, I definitely don’t want you touching me.” 
Eris ran his tongue over his teeth as he straightened and took another step towards her.
A chair flew towards him then and he barely ducked in time.
“What the ever-loving fuck —”
“Stay on your side of the room.”
“I’m not going to —”
“One more step and the dagger will be next.”
Eris stared at her in confusion, at the dagger that looked so much like —
He looked down at his belt where he knew his dagger to be sheathed...except it was not.
“You were too busy trying to intimidate me to notice,” she said with a snort, and gone was the trembling gazelle that he’d seen all day, his dagger twirling her hand. “Surprise.”
Eris blinked then huffed out a noise of disbelief. “Well, wife. This is an interesting turn of events...How did you manage to steal it?”
“Most males are stupid and get easily distracted by beautiful females. If I let you believe I was weak, you automatically assumed you could dominate me and lose the upper hand,” she said simply and shrugged. “Your mistake.”
He narrowed his eyes. “From the things your father told me about you, handling weapons wasn’t on the list.”
“My father is a lying piece of shit and doesn’t know an actual thing about me.”
“He told me your passion was piano and you prefer to stay indoors because you were sensitive to the sun,” Eris stated flatly and Iris rolled her eyes.
“I do love piano but the only thing I’m sensitive to are the bruises he gifts me that people would notice if he let me out as often as I’d like.”
Eris froze. A distant roaring filled his ears as he stared at Iris. He stared and stared and when she narrowed her eyes at him, he clenched his teeth and took a breath.
“Your father beats you?” he asked quietly. 
Iris shrugged and it was a shrug that he knew well. A shrug he had mastered to deflect Beron’s marks on his own body. A shrug he had mirrored from his own mother.
“My father seemed giddy at the idea that you’d be beating me too,” Iris began and sunk the dagger into the table with a loud thud, before meeting his gaze again. “But if you think that gives you permission to lay a hand on me, I will break every single one of your fingers and carve your heart out of your body. I would die trying.” 
Eris stared at her. Trying to think of a response. Trying to think of all the things he’d heard about her before this moment.
“My daughter is delicate.” her father had told him. “She’s also foolish and needs guidance with a heavy hand. Don’t be afraid to put her in her place.”
There was nothing delicate about the fiery rage he saw in the female in front of him. Nothing but sharp glares and determination. Her stance alone told him she would be nothing of what he had expected.
His mother’s bruised skin flashed in his mind and Eris swallowed then met Iris’s gaze. 
“I would never harm you,” he said firmly and she tilted her head, quirking a brow.
“Your reputation says otherwise.”
“My reputation is catered to a specific audience.”
“Your reputation is the reason I am willing to kill you and face death myself rather than let you turn me into the broken doll my father tried to make me.”
Eris pursed his lips at that and slipped a hand in his pocket, the other coming to brush back his hair. “It appears wife, that you and I aren’t what we seem.”
Iris crossed her arms. “So it seems, husband.”
“We wasted time not getting to know each other a month ago.” Eris scoffed with an eye roll and Iris froze. “Your father insisted you were too nervous and shy.”
“What do you mean a month?” she asked breathlessly, her hands fisting at her sides.
Eris’s blink marked his confusion. “A month. Our engagement was announced a month ago.”
Iris blinked then blinked again and Eris watched as a cascade of emotions flashed across her face. 
“A week.” she gasped out. “I was told a week ago.”
Eris’s eyes narrowed and he took in her shaking hands. “A week?” he asked quietly. 
Iris only stared at him and he felt his chest tighten when she started taking deep breaths. Eris opened his mouth to say something — he felt compelled to say anything — but she held up a hand.
“I will only say this once,” Iris spoke, her voice surprisingly steady. “We may be sharing a bed but we will not...go further than that.”
Eris frowned, his own hands fisted at his sides. “Alright.”
She blinked in return. “Alright?”
His expression immediately turned sour at that. “I think the expectations for tonight have been made very clear. What more do you want from me?”
“Nothing. I don’t want anything from you.” Iris replied, all steadiness was gone from her voice as her face fell. “I wish I had nothing to do with you.”
And with that statement, she darted into their shared bathroom and slammed it shut. 
Eris remained rooted to his place and simply stared after her, at the closed door she now hid behind, his thoughts a thousand miles a minute. 
He thought about their names and the silly way they matched.
He thought about the similar father figure they seemed to have and the history they seemed to share.
He thought about the small thrill he had felt when he had been within kissing range. 
Eris's frown deepened at the sniffle he heard from behind the door and wondered...just how much hell would they be in for now.

How You Met
~ Sam Kerr ~
~~~~~~~~~~
your first day working with the Chelsea media team started by meeting the staff
a player of the men's team your younger brother refused to leave your side 
you proceeded to have lunch with the men’s team
until Connor Gallagher and Ben Chilwell physically dragged him away to training
and you continued your day by eloping with interviews of the women’s team about the past season
you weren't sibling-less long though as you moved to the other side of Cobham
your sister just finishing her own training session
although your first experience with Enya’s team wasn't the most professional
it was more watching them rehab…
post-training 
shirtless!
rippling muscles covered in water droplets
how could you not look and admire?!
Sam’s first impression is mid-interview though, captured on camera and saved for eternity
you had stepped out for a glass of water, returning with a tray for the whole team 
Sam could do nothing but double-take, surely you weren’t real
she could’ve sworn she’d just seen an angel enter the room
her first thought is ‘who is this girl? And how come I’ve never seen her before?’
she had never seen anyone pull off the basic blue training kit the way you did
how did you manage to make training joggers look good?
it wasn't until she returned to her teammates in a daze that she found out who you were, and that you’d be around for the foreseeable
your first impression wasn’t quite as monumental
you were surrounded by good-looking sportswomen all day, and trying to make a good impression on your first day 
your second however? much more so
you had been called in to film a ‘Matchday Unseen’ video for the Chelsea YouTube channel last-minute
most of the day was spent trying to find your way around 
accidentally stumbling into the wrong place a number of times
falling through another door you find yourself in the changing room rather than the cafeteria 
the sight of Sam Kerr in her underwear certainly wasn’t what you were expecting on your way to find a bacon sandwich
your one saving grace was that she was the only one in the room
but even that didn’t stop the red face you wore as you did everything to avoid eye contact 
while spluttering apologies
a spluttering mess was something you never were
but somehow that’s the only side Sam saw of you for the first few weeks
and she revealed in it, she lived for teasing you, getting flirty and watching you freeze up
catching your eye and seeing you stumble over your camera settings
her favourite was when she pushed her luck by playing it up for the cameras
the fans loved what they thought she was giving them and she loved what response she got in your pink cheeks
after months of open flirting and help from your siblings, she finally gets you alone to ask you on a date 
one that you end up missing… not on purpose!
~~~~~~~~~~
So for anyone familiar with my blog this may seem like a repeat.
That’s because essentially it is.
But I have so much more to build on this whole concept and relationship that I felt it would work better in wag diaries than as a stand alone reader piece.
Sorry if you came hoping for something new, I promise it will develop into new stories soon!

I don't know if you still take req to this Feline 【and uh- if i can be apart of the anon list—you call me ☎️ or Cali because ill probably be here for awhile】
I no-brained this, so sorry if it's shit
Silver Ash x Doctor!Male!Reader [Smut&Fluff]
Warning; sensory deprivation, breeding kink, nipple play, overstimulation, mindbreak, rimming, dacryphilia, marking, I use their real names once or twice.
Masterlist.
Game; Arknights
"Doctor!" The sound of Silverash's voice made (M/n) flinch and tense on his spot, his hand gripped tightly on the knob of his office's door, and turned around to look at the tall feline.
"Yes?" (M/n) gritted his teeth, dreading he was gonna ask the same thing again today. Silverash walked a bit closer and stood in front of Rhodes Island's Doctor, looking at him with a sparkle in his eyes.
"How's everything going with Enya?" And yeah, he was still going on about (M/n) getting married to his sister, Pramanix, and continuing his family bloodline, but (M/n) just wasn't interested in her or Cliffheart- or women, for that matter.
Sighing, he opened the door and walked into his office, knowing Silverash was gonna follow him and let the feline close the door behind him.
"I told you I'm not interested in her, En-" he started saying while looking down at the medical reports he had asked Kal'tsit about the Operators infected with Oripathy, he had work to do, and here was Enciodes, bothering him about something he despised greatly.
Marriage and kids.
"Then I can ask Ensia if she'll-" Slamming his hands on the desk, (M/n) made the feline behind him go quiet, the paper slightly crumbled in his hand and he let it go, he obviously had something to take care of currently.
"Why can't you see? Do I have to be more obvious?" He murmured to himself, but Silverash's fluffy ears twitched as he was able to hear the anger and desperation in the Doctor's voice.
"(M/n)...?" He heard Silverash walking closer until he was standing right next to him, and (M/n) felt like he couldn't hold back anymore.
He looked up at him, a serious expression on his face that made the feline tense and freeze on his spot, unsure of what he should do, "I don't want to fuck your sisters," taking a step closer, (M/n) placed both hands on his desk, next to Silverash's hips, keeping him trapped between his body and the wooden desk.
He leaned closer to his face, making the feline's ears press flat against his head.
"I wanna fuck you, En."
//////
"Fuck- (M/n)... Wait-!" Silverash's breathing was ragged, his hands gripping the desk desperately, his chest pressed against the cold wood and his pants somewhere on the room's floor. (M/n)'s hands fondled with the tie the feline was wearing, taking it off from the collar of his shirt and he reached around his head, using it to cover Silverash's vision, making him rely on his hearing, touch, and smell.
"You seem to like this though," (M/n)'s voice next to his ear made a shiver run down his spine, his tail swaying frantically between his spread legs. He couldn't deny it, and it was obvious.
Silverash just wanted to continue his family's bloodline, but he didn't want to see (M/n) with any of his sisters, he wanted him, but there was no way he can get pregnant, so he gave up on this dumb love of his. But now?
Now his body was being touched and caressed all over by the man he loves, and his mind can't comprehend how it happened. Shivers ran down his whole body, making his legs tremble as he felt (M/n)'s gentle touch down his spine, stopping right above the base of his tail. Noticing his reaction, (M/n) slowly wrapped his fingers around it, making Silverash squeal, his head pressed on his forearms while (M/n) released his fluffy tail, observing its frantic movements.
Well, now that the tail is out of the way...
Sliding his hands down his back, (M/n) gripped onto Silverash's ass, slowly spreading his cheeks apart, and he knelt on the floor, the perfect height to reach his twitching hole.
"(M/...n)..." His voice came out in a breathless whisper, his ears moving and twitching as he tried to hear anything that would let him know what he was gonna do.
But the feeling of (M/n)'s hot breath and warm, slippery tongue pressing on his entrance made his whole body tremble, a loud moan involuntarily escaping past his lips. His reaction only made (M/n) feel more turned on, moving his hand to keep a tight grip on Silverash's tail, listening to his mewls, and watching him squirm on his desk with every move of his tongue.
Biting his bottom lip, Silverash tried to hold in his moans as he felt (M/n) swirling inside him, his grip tightening on the wood and leaving scratch marks. His thighs trembled and his tail perked up, his dick twitching and leaking pre-cum, and holding himself back was proving to be quite difficult.
But, right as he was about to let go, (M/n) stopped, leaning back to observe how Silverash's whole body was trembling and twitching, he smirked and stood up, his hands holding the feline's waist to help him stand up, but his legs were too weak to hold his weight up, ending up leaning against (M/n)'s chest, his arms wrapped loosely around his neck and his forehead pressed on the doctor's cheek.
(M/n) held his body while Silverash nuzzled him, purring right next to his ear. His fluffy white tail wrapped around (M/n)'s middle, his hips mindlessly grinding against his, having the feline act like this was making it hard for (M/n) to try and hold himself back.
Gently, (M/n) made Silverash sit on the desk before slowly making him lean back on it. With lustful eyes, (M/n) looked at him, his dress shirt unbuttoned and fully opened, exposing his toned chest and abdomen, his pale white skin making the blush going down to his neck more notorious, and his perky pink nipples.
With hurried hands, (M/n) pulled Silverash's underwear off his body, exposing his wonderful body. Keeping his legs up, (M/n) held the back of his knees bringing them closer to Silverash's chest, and moving closer to him, eliciting a small moan from him as his bulge pressed on his pulsing entrance.
At that, Silverash moved his hands to hold his legs up by himself, feeling (M/n) chest against his, followed by his hot breath on his chest before his lips wrapped around his nipple.
His back arched and his dick leaked pre-cum when (M/n)'s tongue swirled around his nipple, his hand going up to pinch and pull on the other. Hearing Silverash's moans and whimpers to getting his nipples played with made (M/n)'s cock throb in pain, which made him growl and grit his teeth, making him bite the feline's nipple. Silverash's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he released a moan of (M/n)'s name, cum spurting out of his slit.
A little surprised, (M/n) held himself off with his hands and saw Silverash's cum glistening on his abdomen, his saliva on his swollen nipples, and hearing his needy whines when he backed away, his tail tightening around his waist.
Silverash's whines turned into whimpers, his tail squirming slightly in distress, and (M/n) reached his hand up to remove the blindfold. He saw tears filling his eyes and running down his face, holding his breath at the beautiful sight of Silverash crying, he gently dried his tears away, and the feline bit his lip with uncertainty, holding his legs spread wider, bringing him closer with the grip strong grip of his tail.
(M/n) held back a moan when his sensitive tip pressed on his wet hole, and taking a deep breath, he smirked, pulling his pants and underwear down enough for his dick to spring out, rubbing it on his hole, smearing it with his pre-cum.
"You want me to fuck you, En?" He let out a whine, covering the lower half of his face with the back of his hand, his glimmering eyes looking into (M/n)'s with a hint of shyness and lust.
He nodded once, his blush intensifying, "Please?" He mumbled softly, barely audible.
(M/n)'s jaw clenched when he felt Silverash's tail squirming again, this time to bring him closer and closer, it surprised (M/n) to know how strong his tail was, but he ended up doing what the feline wanted.
Slowly pushing inside, he saw how his eyes rolled back, his nails digging into his pale skin, leaving red marks behind, and damn, (M/n) really wanted Silverash to hold onto him like that, so desperate for him.
"Fuck... En," he held Silverash's hands and moved them away from his legs, "Hold onto me," with greedy hands, he did, he held onto (M/n)'s hips, touching the exposed skin, sliding his hands up under his clothes, his nails scratching his back every time his thrusts reached deep inside him.
(M/n) released a groan of pain and pleasure whenever Silverash dragged his nails on his skin, knowing he was marked by him, and with every thrust, the tail squeezed a little tighter around him, and Silverash's hole clenched around his dick, keeping it inside him as much as he could, calling out his name as a plead for more.
"I'm gonna... cum, En," the male under him looked at him with a dizzy look, his eyes glossy and clouded with lust, his legs moving to wrap around (M/n)'s hips, gripping him against his body to prevent him from pulling.
"In-inside... cum inside me, p-please~," grunting, (M/n) closed his eyes as he felt how Silverash tightened around him again, greedily swallowing his cock, whimpering as he felt it throbbing inside him.
Let out a growl, (M/n)'s grip on Silverash's waist tightened, holding him still as he pumped him full of his cum. The feline's back arched off the desk, his tail loosening its grip as his mouth opened wide, letting out a drawn-out moan as he came all over himself.
"Yes~ keep-... keep cumming i-inside, breed me fu-full, please~!" Well, who was he to deny him when he begs like that?
Continuing his thrusts, the wet squelching sound filled their ear with every move, watching Silverash come undone under him, exposing every bit of his skin, inviting (M/n) to mark him as his. With each kiss left on his neck, Silverash tightened the hold of his legs, his hands going up to (M/n)'s upper back to keep him close to him, he just couldn't get enough of him.
He couldn't get enough of his body heat, of his wet kisses, of his deep thrusts, and of course, he could never get enough of his want cum filling him, breeding him.
He had realized just how much he would've missed out on if (M/n) had accepted courting one of his sisters, but now, as he kept cumming over and over again, he knew he would never give (M/n) up, never again.
Not when he was feeling how (M/n)'s cum dripped down onto the desk and floor, hearing him grunt as his thrusts didn't stop, and he came again at the thought that he might actually be able to carry (M/n)'s cubs. And with that thought he just himself go, his mind numb from the pleasure.
//////
A gentle sway woke him up, he opened his eyes and with a blurry sight, he realized he was being carried. A little disoriented, he looked up, seeing that (M/n) was the one carrying him, and he smiled, nuzzling against his neck and purring low enough for him to hear.
(M/n) glanced down at Silverash, who had closed his eyes again, and he kept walking to his room. The room in his office was too small and was full of medical supplies, so he decided to carry Silverash to his individual room, where he'll be able to lay his tired body on his comfortable bed.
He had already cleaned his sweaty, and cum-stained body before leaving his office, after he had passed out and released his tight grip. (M/n) he might've gone too far, but when he saw the bruises forming around his waist and the deep, bright red scratch marks he realized that he wasn't the only one that was more than little rough.
With his mind wandering, he reached the room quicker than he thought, and he opened the door, gently closing it behind him with a slight push. He walked to the bed and gently laid Silverash on it, moving the covers away to be able to tuck him in. He placed a small kiss on his forehead and was about to leave back to his room, but something fluffy wrapped weakly around his wrist.
Silverash's tail.
He sighed and sat down on the bed, feeling and seeing how his tail moved to hold him as it did before.
"Stay..." The feline whispered without opening his eyes, and (M/n) smiled to himself.
"Okay," he responded just as quietly, making himself some space next to the male, who instantly wrapped his arms around him and cuddled against his chest, "Sleep well, En... I love you."
Feeling a shiver running down his spine, Silverash looked up into (M/n)'s eyes and leaned up to press a gentle kiss on his lips, "I love you too..."

Honestly, I think it’s extremely obvious that those four dudes are Dio’s sons.
Like, I take a look at these bitches and go “yup, they got the slut genes.”
(I would’ve loved to see a glimpse of 25 year old Giorno, even if for just two seconds but well :’))
Tumblr media
Giorno and Rikiel have the Boob Window™ (which Giorno started out of the Brandos), Donatello is showing off his collar bones and has a semi-Boob Window and Ungalo’s out there tryna stab a priest while wearing a really really short crop top that would show his underboobs if he just stretched his arms.
Pucci would’ve died immediately if he had been a good Christian priest and saw the manwhore clothes all of them wear. Dio says no to generational trauma but he’s definitely pushing the generational sluttines agenda.
Tumblr media
JUST LOOK AT HIM!!
Aside from the fact that I find him very attractive and am a Dio enthusiast, he’s displaying the crotch for everyone to see and his top doesn’t even cover his back, like??? It kind of bothers me when fanartists don’t include the fact that his back is also out for everyone to look at. He’s definitely wearing latex, no one can convince me otherwise.
Plus the earrings?? When did bro have the chance to pierce his ears? That wasn’t a thing in Phantom Blood. I actually don’t know if the other three have any kind of piercings, but Giorno definitely got his earrings after he saw that photo of his father.
It’s so funny to me, actually. Like, Dio was born in the Victorian Era, when it was inappropriate for a lady to show her ankles and even men were basically covered head to toe.
AND THEN HE COMES BACK A CENTURY LATER AND DECIDES TO RUN AROUND WEARING THE TIGHTEST BLACK TANK TOP KNOWN TO MAN AND LOVES TO WALK AROUND NAKED IN HIS MANSION?????
What in the name of Jonathan’s head did Enya tell this man💀
I love mudad a lot, if you couldn’t tell, and I’d keep talking about them for hours. Especially how all four of their personalities equal one whole Dio Brando (well, like 50-60% of Giorno’s personality + the others but-)
My new headcanon that I’ll be taking from this is that Rikiel would look up to Giorno and that he’d try to be like him if they were all raised together. They’d definitely match one way or another. (Tell me Giorno and Rikiel are your favorites without telling me Giorno and Rikiel are your favorites)
I have three or four mudad drafts that I still need to finish writing, yet here I am fueling my mind with even more ideas💀

a/n: this is just the story preface, not yet chapter one. for this fanfic i am keeping mostly the book timeline, but there will be a little bit of show timeline further ahead.
it is a AU which blends aspects of book and show canons but is also a lot of headcanons. i am a bit of a history nerd, so there is bits inspired by real life historical events, i also drawn a lot of inspiration from medieval/renaissence royal courts to write how i imagine life at the Red Keep would be, most numbers i will use in this story are also taken from history (noble households, courtiers, armies, ships and crews etc), as are titles for functions an jobs that are not shown on the show or books. There are a couple of Original Characters that are going to be introduced over time, and a few canon characters that are barely mentioned or not seen at all on the show. additional information: I chose to keep the show's 'ages' for some characters, so, for the sake of the story: Viserys was born in 70 AC, Daemon in 74 AC, Rhaenys in 67 AC, and Aemma and Rhea share the year 76 AC.
word count: 2802
warnings: none for this chapter
Tumblr media
“...Princess of Runestone, proved herself in her maiden voyage crossing of the Narrow Sea, six pirate ships gave chase as we crossed through the Stepstones, their inferior ships however were no match for our girl or to our brave crew. We had already sunk three carracks when they choose to surrender the remaining three after sighting Archonei descending upon them. We lock the surviving pirates in the holding cells, and seize their cargo, to my great surprise I was able to ascertain that the cargo on the ships once belonged to none other than the Sea Snake.”  Enya reads aloud the letter she received from Ser Orys, her half-brother, coming all the way from Lys, the first stop on his great voyage. “We intend to sell the cargo in Lys, Maester Aldus believes it will yield a great profit, at least 20-times Mother’s initial investment, it seems almost unbelievable that we are only on the first leg of the journey. Gods willing, my next letter home shall be sent from old Volantis. Tell Mother I miss her advice and our morning rides, as I miss your sweet face, and our daily flights. Send my love to everyone home and make sure that young Willam is dedicating himself to his training. Your loving brother, Ser Orys Stone…”  Her granddaughter finishes reading her the letter, folding it carefully and putting it inside the hard cover of the book she has next to her on the wheelhouse seat.
How the girl manages to read in the bouncing carriage is something that marvels her, she feels nauseous just watching it.
Elys would have much preferred to have made the journey by ship, but the early spring storms that plague the East Coast they didn't allow them to leave the safety of the harbour.
The lady wouldn't be making the trip if she could help it, she had just come out of mourning period for her dear husband, all she wanted was to be able to take the time to visit her daughters and spend time with her grandchildren before returning to Eyrie to resume supervising her niece's upbringing. But the beginning of spring means Visenya's relocation to the royal court in King's Landing, to spend the spring and summer with her father and paternal family.
Last time her granddaughter was at court was four years before the death of the Old King, whom she had served as cupbearer when he still had the mental faculties to attend the Council. She had been just a child then, the king's favourite great-granddaughter.
 Since then, she had blossomed into a stunning beauty, no longer a girl but not yet a woman, striking in that way that only those from the blood of the dragon are.
A beauty worthy of a crown.
A crown she had been promised as a child.
If the gods had been merciful, little Prince Aerion would have survived infancy and today he would be a boy of nearly three and ten, the heir to his father’s throne, betrothed to Visenya by the will of King Jaehaerys. But Aenar died in his cradle, followed by his little brother, Aelor, and two early miscarriages. And her granddaughter lost the her chance at the crown promised to her.
“Do you think Orys can one day surpass the feats of the Sea Snake?” Elys turns her head from the window to look at her granddaughter.
“He might,” Elys candidly admits, “Orys has advantages that Velaryon did not, Archonei being the greatest of them."
Elys had disagreed with her daughter's decision to raise the prince's natural son after the boy's mother died—Orys was, in Elys' opinion, the stain on her daughter's dignity, a bastard child her betrothed fathered on a Royce cousin of lesser consequence, during the feast celebrating the union between Houses Royce and Targaryen—as he grew, the boy proved her wrong in her reservations against him. He was as devoted to Rhea as he was to Visenya, respectfully calling her ‘Mother’ after asking permission to do so, loyal and honourable, dedicating himself to every life opportunity offered by his stepmother.
She would never forget his terror when Visenya's egg hatched in his hands, it was the day he won her over, he had tears in his eyes as he asked Rhea for forgiveness for hatching the dragon as it was not his intention, he went on to say that he had never coveted her sister's egg and that she could have the hatchling. Her daughter just laughed, kissing the boy's head and explaining that the dragon had chosen him.
Jaehaerys was not at all pleased with the accident when Rhea sent a letter informing him of what had happened. Daemon finally took an interest in the dark-haired boy Rowena birthed, flying to the Vale to see the dragon, taking it upon himself to have twenty dragonkeepers sent to Runestones.
“I hope he can accomplish it, for himself and for House Royce." Visenya says looking out the window, pulling back the curtains to get a better look, wrinkling her little nose at the stench that enters the carriage and allowing the curtain to fall closed again. “I had forgotten that the city smells so bad.”
“You better get used to it again." Elys passes a bag of scented salts to the young woman. “Tie it to your wrist, you can smell it when the stench gets too much.”
The slums around the city wall have grown considerably larger than Lady Elys remembered from her last visit so many years before.
People beg with outstretched hands on the road as they see the bronze wheelhouse pass by.
It's a sad sight.
The lady sighs before pulling the small dark wooden chest out from under the bench under Visenya's curious eyes. She takes out a heavy bag of coins and pushes the chest back with her foot, hiding it with her skirt. She signals with her hand for any of the knights escorting them to approach the window. Willam Royce, her nephew by marriage, Gunthor’s youngest boy, and Leofric Corbray squire, is the one to come to her.
She contains a smile as she sees the boy blush when he notices Visenya's curious gaze on him.
It's no secret that the boy is sweet on little Enya—just like half the boys of similar age in Runestone—in another life he would be a good match for the future Lady of Runestone, Willam is handsome, with dark curls and blue eyes, and will probably grow up to be a tall, handsome man, and appease everyone in the family that the next heir would retain the surname Royce without the need for major manoeuvres.
“Lady Aunt." He greets her with a nod, keeping his horse's gallop in sync with the carriage. “My princess.”
Visenya just smiles at him, looking at him from beneath her lashes, which only makes him blush more.
“Willam, my sweet, be a dear and hand out these coins to the people." She passes the heavy bag into his hand.
The squire just nods again, looking once more at the Targaryen princess before doing as his aunt asked of him.
Once he is away and the curtain is closed again, Elys lets out the laugh she forced herself to hold in, lightly slapping her granddaughter's knee in reprimand.
“Shameless flirt!” The Dowager Lady of Runestone pointed her finger at the girl.
“I have to train for court life, don't I?" Visenya says with a naughty tone. “I'm of marriageable age, I have to charm all the beautiful second sons, have them all at my feet asking for my hand, there is no better opportunity than during a season at court.”
A beauty of beauties in all the Seven Kingdoms, if not in all the Known World.
Visenya is slender, nymph-like of body, with very pale white skin dotted with golden freckles—the only inheritance from Rhea in her appearance—, plump lips and pretty pearly teeth, a neat nose, and large eyes of an unusual bluish-lilac shade. Her hair is a beautiful flaxen, a few shades lighter than Elys own, curled and long—she's not sure her granddaughter's hair was ever cut more than a little trim at the ends—now ribboned for practicality during the travel.
Elys remembers vividly the Good Queen Alysanne carrying the baby in her arms during her anointment commenting that little Visenya reminded her of Viserra, the most beautiful of her daughters, in appearance.
“Be careful child, you don't want a reputation, especially in the Red Keep."
“I can be discreet." The girl winks at her grandmother amid giggles.
The wheelhouse takes a while to cross the city from Dragon's Gate to the Red Keep, the guards escorting it thought it better to go around Fleabottom than through it. Especially with the four glitzy wheelhouses carrying the noblewomen and their ladies-in-waiting, and the wagons with their belongings coming right behind, with things that attract the attention of the wrong kind of people.
Their retinue arrives at the Red Keep midday.
There is quite a crowd waiting to receive them. The standard-bearers stop between the carriage and the people waiting, proudly carrying the banners of Houses Targaryen, Royce and Arryn, and the Princess of Runestone personal crest: a pearlescent white dragon with the halved shield with the crests of Royce and Arryn between its claws in a black field with bronze runes around the border.
“Princess Visenya of House Targaryen, heir of Runestone.” The Herald announces her granddaughter, as a guard opens the wheelhouse door for them. “Her Lady Grandmother, Lady Elys of House Arryn, Dowager Lady of Runestone.”
Elys arranges the balzo on top of Visenya's head and centres the small jewel on her forehead, pinching her cheek for a healthy blush before the girl pushes back the linen curtain and leaves with the assistance of a Kingsguard guard.
The lady fixes her own skirt before leaving the wheelhouse behind her granddaughter.
The first person she notices is the Queen, her younger sister, in the light blue silks of her paternal House.
A chill runs down her spine as she looks at her sister.
Despite her Targaryen blood through her mother, Princess Daella, in appearance Aemma is an Arryn, with pale sandy hair, an aquiline nose and light blue eyes. Aemma is only eight and twenty, a few months older than her Rhea, however, she looks like a woman nearly to Elys own age.
She looks emaciated, haggard…sick. The Stranger follows her closely. Her youngest sister would not survive a full-term pregnancy and childbirth, it surprised Elys even that she had lived until this moment, with so many failed pregnancies and increasingly long and painful periods of recovery.
Beside her, giving her his arm for support, is Viserys, the King of the Seven Kingdoms, dressed in silk damask of gold and Tyrosh-purple, his grandfather’s crown upon his brow, looking more youthful and healthier than his younger wife. His silver-gold hair is kept short, following southern fashion which has a great Andal influence, he also sports a silver-gold moustache, so thin and pale it almost disappears on his face.
He is a handsome man, but pales in comparison to his dashing younger brother, especially when the two are side by side.
“Your Graces.” Visenya makes a perfect curtsy to the King and Queen and stands as if the castle belongs to her.
The couple is smiling at the young woman with indulgence.
“You have grown beautiful Visenya.” The king says, his eyes fixed on his niece.
Elys recognizes the expression on his face.
Like any woman who was once young and desired, she recognizes the almost obscene expression when older men look at women young enough to be their daughters and imagine themselves as young as their sons.
 The look on a man's face when he lusts after a woman old enough to be his daughter, and who he knows he shouldn't desire.
“Thank you, Your Grace."
“Just stating the truth my dear." In a gallant gesture, the king kisses his niece's hand.
“Brother, stop holding up the line!” The prince’s impatient voice interrupts, causing the King to take his covetous eyes away from his young niece.
Prince Daemon is a tall man, only a few centimetres shorter than his older brother, he keeps his silvery hair long, following the fashion of Old Valyria.
Unlike Viserys's ostentatious clothes, Elys good son is dressed in all black leather, well cut and elegant, but infinitely more subtle than the rest of the court. He carries Dark Sister around his waist, and his only ornament is the livery collar that marks him. as a member of the Small Council and Master of Coin.
Visenya smiles and turns to her father making a new curtsy. “Lord Father.”
“Little dragoness.” There is a smile on the prince's face, he has his hands on his only daughter's shoulders, despite being considered a tall young woman, Visenya looks small next to her father. He puts his forehead to hers, saying something that only she hears, and then kisses her cheek.
“Sister." Elys takes her eyes off the reunion between father and daughter and approaches her sister with her hand outstretched.
“My queen." In a gesture of deference, Elys kisses her sister's pale hand and offers a profound curtsy. “Your Grace.” She bows her head to her good brother.
“Lady Elys, it is good to have you at court again." Viserys says amiable. “I am sure your sisters missed you dearly." He looks at Aemma with a smile and at Lady Amanda Redfort born Arryn, standing next to the queen. “Let's give them time to rest from the road, later we shall have a welcome feast.” The king announces to the court members present, taking the queen's hand in his and guiding her into the castle.
Prince Damon follows them, his arm around his daughter's shoulders, and head tilted toward her as they continue their private conversation. One by one the courtiers follow them, even her ladies and her granddaughter's, Elys nods for them to enter, until only Amanda and her remain in the courtyard.
“How bad is she?"
Amanda approaches until the two are face to face, she looks to the side for a moment, making sure there is no one else around.
Her younger sister, like herself, maintains a youthful appearance, even as they have both now seeing past their forty years of age. It comes with their Upcliff blood, their mother died young, not even thirty years old, yet she still had the appearance of a woman half her age.
Amanda inherited her colouring, beautiful red-gold hair, and blueish grey eyes like a stormy sea.  
“The Maestre has already recommended that she not try to get pregnant again after the last miscarriage, she had a difficult time recovering, almost a year," Amanda informs her, there is concern in her eyes “now she is once again with child, and it is taking a toll on her. I don’t believe she will live to see the child.”
“The child will not be born." Lady Elys declares it like a sentence. She can feel it.
 “There is more." Amanda says. “The Small Council has been hinting that he should set her aside, that he should marry a queen who can bear him heirs.” She lowers her tone, tilting her head toward her sister. “There are rumours that His Grace had a bastard boy with a courtesan, and he might be discreet, but I know for sure that there are mistresses.”
“Does Aemma knows?”
“I believe so.” She nods. “They are, however, ladies of little consequence, barely noble, daughters of second and third sons, some not even that, daughters of knights and rich merchants,” Amanda explains, “His Grace has a king’s an appetite and a queen constantly bedridden who clearly does not meet his needs.”
“Hm.” It's the only reaction Elys gives.
A tale old as time, men will be men, even the best of them.
Viserys may be gentle and amiable, but he was always a man of appetites, and pious Aemma was never an ardent lover.
Elys blames the Good Queen for her precocious marriage and sheltered upbring, Aemma was just a girl, still playing with dolls.
The marriage was not consummated before her four and tenth nameday, and until then Viserys would entertain himself with whores and courtesans usually in the company of his brother and half a dozen favourites.
“We shall have to stay alert to whom he takes to bed." Elys says, linking her arm with her sister's and directing her into the castle.
“What happens if she dies or is put aside?"
Then perhaps Visenya will have the crown she was promised. And we might yet have a king of our blood on the Iron Throne.
