for Femme Fatale Galore, can i requst yandere raiden shogun with a darling that's sleepy?
"You know, no one will come near if you decide to rest, dear."
The soft voice lulled you to slumber but the glistening spear practically forced you to stay awake. Ever since Ei took you things have been hard and tense, much to the Archon's displeasure. Many people knew just how important you were to the goodness but that power naturally came with a downside. Political enemies were constantly gunning for you, stepping foot outside was a rare luxury these days. You might as well have been a walking target with how many people were planning to either weasel their way into your good graces or to trick you in order to get to the Shogun.
Who could blame you for losing sleep over that?
Certainly not Ei, poor Ei... Her heart wept for you, the desire to keep you safe kept her up for endless nights and your refusal to rest only added onto her distress. She would take care of you, she could protect you, there was absolutely nothing and no one who could even lay a single finger on you.
Slim and gentle fingers combed their way through your hair, the smell of sweetness and sakura petals overpowering your senses as the softness of her purple kimono took you in, her eyes never once looking anywhere else. Her weapon lay next to her, ready to be used if anyone foolish decided to ruin your precious time together.
A small smile crept onto Ei's face, her heart beating like thunder itself, causing ripples in her soul and waves of emotions to run rampant inside of her. She began to hum an old lullaby, something to hopefully ease your sorrows.
With a sigh the drowsiness overpowered you, your eyelids sliding shut as you just barely made out Ei's face, her lips ever so carefully inching closer and closer towards your own. With a kiss she sent you to sleep and soon enough the sound of gentle breathing and occasional snoring could be heard in the giant room.

"I'm sorry, whose funeral?"
"Guillermo's."
"What...? Guillermo...died?"
"Probably a couple decades ago now."
"H-How?"
"Old age I think is what he called it."
Nandor still decides to go into super slumber, too bad it's the biggest mistake of his life.

★ Hello, all you wonderful people. I know it's been a pretty long time since I've posted any kind of story or fic update. The inspiration well has been suffering a terrible drought, and then this idea hit me pretty hard, and I decided just to see where it would take me. Story will get smutty so, no minors or ageless blogs.
★ The world is entirely my own as it is part of another piece of fiction I am writing, however, @twisteddaydreams1135 & @meggsngrits have been helping so much with ideas and plot, it's not even funny. Thank you guys for your continual help. I know I wouldn't even have started this if it wasn't for you two. I also pulled some inspo from the incredible fantasy audio series by Yuzuya.
★ Below I give you a little taste of what is to come. The story will heavily follow the BakuSquad as well as some other beloved characters from the series. I really hope you all enjoy ♡
When you woke up this morning, this wasn't quite how you imagined your day would play out. It started normal, a bit exciting even. You had the opportunity to aid two travelers in locating information regarding some dragon clans, which just so happened to be your area of expertise.
But, you thought when they walked down the library's grand marble staircase and out into the crowded evening streets, it would be the end of the day's excitement. Truth be told, even if you were a senior librarian, nothing too thrilling ever really occurred within the city limits.
All of that changed just a few hours later.
Never in your life had your heart raced quite this fast. Then again, you'd never been running for your life before. Hand in hand with the very loud, and grouchy blonde you'd helped earlier in the day. Footfalls pounding against the cobblestone road in sync with each other, propelling yourselves forward, keeping just ahead of the six hunters that had cornered you not minutes before.
He pulled you through the city you'd always called home, the one you'd never left, making sharp turns down alleyways and cutting across roads without so much as a second thought. Anything he could think of to get them off your trail, he was trying, and yet nothing deterred them.
You were nearing the city limits. And it was only a limit because it was a cliffside. A massive one at that. Standing high above the sea with its unforgiving waves hundreds of feet below.
“When we get to the ledge, don't slow down. Just keep running and jump.”
Just when you thought it would burst, your heart sped up even more. He was insane. He had to be.
“Are you mad? That's a cliff, you know! We'll die!”
“Don't argue! Just do it!”
Before you could blink or hold him back, his free hand flung out behind you both, and magic exploded outward from his palm in a brilliant display of light and sparks that had citizens screaming and debris scattering in every direction. But, it afforded you time. Just precious seconds to create enough space between you and the hunters.
The ledge was a few meters away, there was no going back now. “JUST JUMP!” He screamed, and another blast went off powerful enough to launch the two of you right over the edge, and then you were free-falling through the open air.
Your stomach lurched, and your heart lodged itself in your throat as the wind tore through your hair and stung your skin like a thousand tiny needles. You had a death grip on the blonde's hand and just waited for the icy waters below to swallow you whole, but no chill came.
One moment you were falling, and the next, you were flying. Your body connected with something hard as the man held you in place. “Get up here. Can't have ya fallin' off.” You opened your eyes to see two massive ebony wings, dragon wings, carrying you away from the only home you'd ever known...
