isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine
but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

metal arm brrr
Tumblr media
Summary: Every problem needs a solution. Bucky just isn't the biggest fan of yours.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Word Count: 1k
Tags: Fluff in the highest degree, old married couple, Swearing (It's Bucky, duh)
A/N: I just needed to give you guys something, it's been too long since i've written on here and you guys are the best :) I've barely checked this over so I apologize for any typos.
*****
“Can you stop moving, please?” 
Bucky Barnes half asleep is not someone you want to mess with. The first time you shuffled he had hardly made a sound, the second you were met with a low grumble (a warning you knew well) and the third strike, he was thirty seconds from kicking you out of the bed. 
When Bucky had finally learnt to sleep in a bed again, mostly thanks to you, he steadily became a big fan of his beauty sleep and god help anyone who ended up disturbing him. He had a lot to catch up on. Once, you had violently shaken him awake because his phone was ringing and when he heard Sam on the other line, you were deemed a ‘sleep thief’ for a week and a half after. Bucky Barnes was a bitch when it came to his sleep. 
You usually wouldn't have any complaints about being in his vice grip but it was January and the nights were still cold and having a boyfriend with a metal arm meant that you were held to him with an ice cold grip around your waist. When the Summer came, it was a life saver, your own personal refrigerator but you still had a good few months to go before you were hanging off his arm everyday. 
“Sorry.” You mumbled and tried to convince yourself you were comfortable without another word.
Nope, can’t do it. You shift again. 
“You’re kidding- what is it?” He pulls away from you and sits up on his elbow, glaring, he dares you. “Go on.”
With the most innocent doe eyes you could muster you slip your bottom lip between your teeth and debate the argument you could spark when your gaze slips to his vibranium arm in the semi darkness.
He doesn’t miss a thing, you’ve come to realize.
“I swear if you say-”
“-It’s cold! I’m cold! It’s just too much cold!” You burst, arms flailing in desperation. 
“It’s my arm! You said you wanted to sleep on my left, this is my left arm, nothing I can do. Okay?”
“There has to be something.” You search the room for solutions, briefly lingering on the sock drawer. 
“Oh yeah, sorry, let me just take it off.” Bucky grunts, dripping with sarcasm. 
“...If you could?”
“Seriously, fuck you.” 
Bucky falls back into his beloved pillow, eyes shut and wishing he has chosen a partner that let him sleep peacefully, then again, why would he want that when you exist?
“Look, either come to the other side or deal with it.” 
Silence finally reaches your bedroom and Bucky is deeply in dreamland while you lie awake, scheming away. 
In the early hours, you slip out of bed without a sound and make a beeline for the sock drawer, knowing you had some old pairs of slipper socks stuffed at the back. Scissors in hand, you snipped off the toes and smiled at the D.I.Y leg warmers. Oh, he was gonna be mad. 
With nearly medical precision, you held out the slumbering Bucky’s arm in front of you and one by one, slid the fluffy socks up the freezing metal until it was sufficiently covered. Thanking the universe, he was a pretty heavy sleeper, you shuffled back under the covers and happily wrapped the soft arm back around your waist. 
You slept like a lamb after that.
*****
When the morning came, you woke up before him like usual and briefly left him to his own devices as you made coffee, two mugs sitting on the counter beside each other. 
Through the wall, you faintly hear the rising of the soldier before heavy footsteps quickly storm in your direction.
“The fuck is this?”
You look up to see him in the doorway, and find yourself the subject of a stare that would send millions running. Not you. The multicolored socks lined up his arm kind of softened his hoped effect and you had to stifle your laughter. 
“A solution?” You shrug.
“No.” He points at you with his flesh arm accusingly “Nu-uh. This? This is not how we solve things.”
“Is it not? I’m really digging the rainbow on you.” The giggle you had tried to push down had spilled over.
“You’re a fucking menace.” 
The giggle now a full bodied laugh that had you clutching at your chest as you were overcome with the image of your big, scary, ‘world’s most deadly assassin’ boyfriend glaring daggers at you while donning the most fluffy and most colorful socks up his arm.
Bucky was fighting a grin with all his might, your laughter was like an ugly disease, incredibly contagious, hard to avoid, and annoying.
Something soft hits you in the face and you halt your hysterics as you peer at the slipper sock now at your feet. Lifting your gaze, Bucky is smiling smugly, and working a second sock off his arm. 
“Bucky!” You yelp and duck under the counter as the rainbow sock flies in slow motion over your head. 
You probably shouldn’t poke the bear but-
“Y’know, for the best shot the United States army had ever seen you sure do miss a lot.” You taunt from your hiding spot.
When there's no response, you make a break for the couch and get shot squarely in the forehead.
“Say that again.” He dares with narrowed eyes.
“Okay, truce. Truce!” You raise your hands in surrender. 
“Say sorry for last night.” The pink ball of fluff in his hands, a deadly fate, and you’re consigned to concede
“I apologize for last night.” You sigh, approaching him with caution “Now, it’s been ten whole minutes and you still haven’t subjected me to your obscene morning breath.”
He beckons you with his head and you happily plod over, throwing your arms around his neck. The kiss is sweet, and full of promised mornings to come.
It’s welcomed by you. Until you feel the coldest thing known to man, his left arm, writhing under your shirt and sending immediate shivers down your back. 
“Bucky!” You screech and his strong laughter descends on your morning with malice.
Desperately wiggling out of his hold, you escape to the bedroom and yell from your stronghold:
“That was an act of war James Buchanan Barnes!”

bleeding blue | apocalypse au
part sixteen —other parts
Tumblr media
pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley x fem!reader words: 3.2k tags: death. blood. cannibalism mention. zombies of course. AFAB reader. single dad ghost. there will be sex but it isn't here yet. slow burn!!! enemies to lovers. summary: After losing your companions, you run into a skull-masked man and his daughter. They are your last hope for survival.
"I can't believe I woke up early for this."
You loosen your muscles, turning to dead weight in Ghost's arms, before using the awkward position to slip away. 
"No one said you had to be here," Ghost throws over his shoulder before his gaze fleets back to yours. "Good. Again."
Blue groans as you reposition yourself for the basic defense maneuver. You can see why she'd find this boring— Ghost started you off with a move so basic it was almost insulting when he explained it. But you quickly realized his reasoning. Each time you do it, your pulse tampers down less and less while in his arms. He's had to remind you a few times to "Breathe, Twix"— the order so quietly uttered into the shell of your ear that Blue likely didn't even notice. Perhaps you have grown used to taking orders from him, or maybe having Blue close by is helping, because you've been able to ward off the threat of panic so far.
"Fine, I'm out of here," Blue rolls her eyes the second you've finished the move again. "Let me know when you—" she jabs a finger at Ghost, "—decide to make things more interesting." As she leaps off the log she'd been perched upon, she adds: "Oh, and don't get too close, Ghost. She might bite."
"So I've heard."
Heat rises to your cheeks. And then— you're alone with him. You take a swig of water from the canister Blue lent you to ignore the awkward feeling in your chest. "Again?" You wipe your mouth. "Or have I passed your test?"
"Test?" he repeats, the gravel in his voice rolling over the word as his brow lifts in question.
"Well, I haven't... had a repeat of last time, and it's been an hour. I think I've proved that I'm ready for something a little more..."
"More what?" 
More interesting.
"Hand-to-hand, I guess. Something harder."
He rubs his jaw, as if to feign consideration. "Right, then. Let's try another one."
The next one he shows you is still simple, except you fail every other time. Basically, he gets behind you and you have to sidestep to avoid the trap of his arms. Somehow, Ghost's movements are light as a feather even though he's built like a rock. 
But then you get better at it. The next two days pass in much the same manner until you start to react a bit faster. He teaches you a few more basic tactics. How to wriggle your wrist out of someone's hold. How to avoid being grabbed from the front by rolling to the ground. All defense. After hours spent with him, he doesn't even have to remind you to breathe anymore. Chopping wood in the evenings helps, too. You go to bed exhausted and wake up ready to practice before Ghost even touches your shoulder.
On the third day, he gets you up even earlier. You cram your wool-covered toes into boots, confine your hair in a hasty bun, and follow him to the clearing that has become your makeshift training ground. It takes you a moment to register that some things are different: his boots have been replaced by sneakers, and his jeans by loose, black gym shorts. The exposed skin is strange, making your eyes widen. If Blue were awake, she'd certainly comment. 
His calves mirror the strength of the rest of him, and on the left leg, swirling ink catches your eye, reminiscent of the tattoos you discovered when tending to his wound. Skulls and a dagger; perhaps corny, but fitting for him.
"Have you tried it?" His voice cuts through your thoughts.
"Tried what?"
"The bow."
A white cloud forms around your mouth as you nod. "Needed some getting used to, like you said."
Yesterday you had a hard time shooting a chipmunk you wanted for lunch, so you spent the early afternoon firing arrows at oaks until the new bow started to feel like an extension of your limbs again.
"Let me know if I need to adjust the string."
"Will do," you say, almost mumbling.
When you reach the familiar circle of trees, you bounce once on your toes and crack your knuckles. Ghost retrieves something from his pocket. A roll of gauze. It is tossed at you without warning, and your hands fumble to grab it. 
"Wrap up," he commands. "Your hands will thank you for it."
You look up at him, brows raised, but begin covering your palms and knuckles. When you're done, you throw the roll back to him. Ghost stretches his arms above his head and splays his feet into a firm stance, jerking his chin at you in a go-ahead motion. Your brows furrow as you try to understand what the fuck he's doing.
"Go on. Get ready."
"Um. Ready for what?"
"A little hand-to-hand."
Your mouth falls open. "What?"
He shrugs. "That's what you wanted, right? I think you're ready for it."
"That's not what I meant," you almost laugh, shaking your head. "I didn't mean I want to— to fight you. I just meant we don't have to stick to the basics."
"We won't." There is the slightest trace of amusement in his voice, so faint you wonder if it's even there. "You have ten seconds to get ready, Twix."
"I don't even—" you sputter, eyes flying open. If you weren't awake before, you are now. He seems completely serious, his hands in fists and his shoulders squared.
"Five."
"Oh, fuck me," you exhale, balling up your bandaged hands. Did he get you up at this hour so there was no chance of Blue joining? He didn't want her to watch him finally annihilate you? You don't think he would seriously hurt you, not after everything, but that doesn't mean your heart doesn't begin to thump wildly when the seconds are up. Neither of you makes the first move; you are focused on keeping yourself distant, and he is circling you like a predator, flicking his eyes along the length of you. 
"What the fuck is that stance? I could just tap you and you'd fall over." His amusement has faded. "Is that how I showed you to stand when chopping wood?"
You shake your head, teeth gritted, and fix it, spreading your boots against the soil. 
"Better."
Then, he's lunging. You forget everything about your stance and prance to the side like a skittish deer. There is a moment of relief when you successfully dodge him, only for it to abruptly end when he darts around your back and hooks an arm around your neck. Your heart skips over a beat. Holy shit is he fast. 
"Be aware of your surroundings at all times," he chastises against the top of your hair. His hold is not aiming to fully restrain you, so when you claw your nails into his arm, it loosens and you slip away, staggering three strides before facing him with your fists up.
"What's the point of raising your fists if you're not going to hit me?" Ghost circles you again, and you have to shift your feet to keep up with him. "Come on, nurse. Where should you aim?"
"You're too tall." Your chest heaves. "I... I can't reach your face or neck without you blocking."
"Use the height difference to your advantage. Reach places that I can't."
You pause to think about it, studying him.
Ghost almost growls. "Stop hesitating. I could have killed you by now."
A mix of annoyance and determination makes you leap forward, jabbing your knuckles at the part of him where you know his liver would be. He captures you by the elbow before the blow can land, and sends you stumbling to the side, a few wisps of hair cascading over your face.
"Liver. Not bad. I might've let you have it if you moved quicker."
A hiss leaves your lips as you whirl around and punch directly into his core this time. He allows the hit, but your knuckles ram into solid muscle instead of the vulnerable stomach you hoped for, and you recoil with a wave of your hand, cussing under your breath.
"You hurt yourself more than you hurt me."
"Well, should I just kick you in the dick then?" you retort without thinking, flexing your fingers. Luckily, the gauze absorbed most of the damage. 
"That's always an option."
His tone is serious, to the point that you almost give it a try, but then he's closing in on you again, sending you back to the defensive. He doesn't hold back. You run in circles and duck frantically, earning a few hits to your ribs. He doesn't use enough force to send you down to the ground, but enough to knock the wind out of you. Rapid breaths fire through your lungs and beads of sweat percolate your hairline. Ghost, on the other hand, appears unaffected.
"Fight back," he says in a mild voice; almost bored.
You nearly throw your arms up. "I would if you'd give me a fucking chance."
"You said not to coddle you."
"I'm aware. That doesn't mean you have to—"
Your spine suddenly meets something hard. A tree. He's backed you into it without you even realizing. When Ghost takes another swipe, you dip your head down and then use his recovery time to grab onto a branch and hoist yourself up.
You're barely perched upon it when a hand grips your ankle and drags you back down, an audible gasp reverberating in your chest as you land flat on your back with Ghost on top. His hand quickly cradles the back of your skull before it can crack on a hard tree root, while his other hand captures both of your wrists.
"You good?" Although he is the one who has you effectively pinned, his tone seems sincere. He scans your face from your forehead to your parted lips. 
"Just... peachy." 
His brows furrow. "What was your plan once you got up there?"
Labored breathing splinters your voice. "I didn't have much of a plan, really."
He speaks flatly. "I can tell."
"You had me cornered," you point out.
"You should have been—"
"Aware of my surroundings," you finish for him, exhaling deep through your nose. "I know."
Your eyes shift around, from his covered face to where his chest just barely presses into yours. It's all so close. Uncomfortably close. You can feel the steady pace of his heart against your sternum, and make out the faintest flecks of green in his eyes.
An ounce of fear and something else you can't quite discern balls up in your stomach, making you swallow. You've been pinned like this before and nearly had your face eaten. Ghost simply stares at you, as if waiting for you to make a move, but when you tug on your wrists, his grip doesn't relent.
"Could you... could you maybe get off of me?"
He shifts some weight off you, if only by a little. "Relax and think," he murmurs. "What are your options here?" The curve of his lips tightens before he adds, "Besides biting my nose off. I'd like to keep that for now."
With a sigh, your eyes slide up to the awakening sky. Hues of violet and orange stare down at you. "Do I... do I even have any options? You must weigh like a ton." The words are past your lips before you can shut your mouth. 
"You always have options." 
"Doesn't mean any of them will be effective," you say.
His eyes darken, and the green disappears. "Why do you do that?" 
"Um... do what?"
"Doubt yourself. After all that you have survived." He sounds irritated. 
"As if you haven't doubted me?" You can't help it; you scoff. "You told her I wouldn't come back that time I went on my own. I mean, I'm still weak, remember? No amount of chopping wood will make me as strong as you or those men who almost killed us."
"It's not about strength," he replies.
"That's easy for you to say," you wiggle your wrists for emphasis. "You have nothing to be afraid of. You were cut out for this shit from the start."
"I have everything to be afraid of." His eyes narrow, but his voice softens. "And so were you."
"Me?" Your voice slightly elevates, and a lick of anger curls within you. "I should be in grad school right now, or maybe I would've quit nursing and gone into something useless and hate my life, but I was never meant to kill anyone, let alone fight them. I was meant to be young and stupid and make mistakes. Now, if I make a fucking mistake, it will cost me my life." Your nostrils flare as you huff, sending a piece of hair flying up into his face, and you writhe beneath him. "Get off of me, Ghost."
But he doesn't.
Beats of silence linger in the small gap between your bodies.
You should feel embarrassed for saying all those things, but instead, you think about what he said:
Don't hesitate.
The ball inside you is a fiery mix of emotions that you usually try your damn hardest to ignore and break and shove away.
But now you let it spread through your body like a sizzling tide, from the tips of your fingers down to your toes and... to your knee. Before you can change your mind, you slam it upward as hard as you can into the apex of his groin. 
"Fuck," Ghost mutters, the only sign of any pain aside from the brief moment that he closes his eyes.
His hold loosens only by a little, but it's enough for you to slip out from under him and find your way back to your feet, your chest rising and falling.
He clears his throat after a moment and rises.
"Good." The two of you share a stare-off for a few seconds before he shakes his head, saying again: "Good, Twix. More of that."
You rip your gaze away from him, cheeks hot, and say nothing as you snatch the canister and bring it to your lips, but the water does little to cool you down. 
Tumblr media
You shiver in the bitterness of twilight, your fingers red and numb, wishing for a pair of gloves. The fireflies are coming out, dots of luminescence darting around you. You swing the axe down again, throat raw as you grunt, and then you add the broken logs to the growing stack. Sudden light footsteps announce the end of your alone time. 
"It's me," Blue greets kindly. 
You drop the axe, hands feeling stiff, and turn to face her with a breathless smile. "Hey. What are you doing out here?"
"Checking on you. Ghost went hard on you this morning, huh?" she says with a sigh. "I could hear you guys. You were a bit... loud. Made it hard to sleep."
"Not too hard. I'm… I'm good." 
If she is unconvinced, she doesn't comment on it. Rather, she hugs you. A warm one. You return the embrace before she pulls away.
"I also came because I wanted to invite you to a bonfire."
"Bonfire?"
"Well, with all your..." her eyes flicker to the pile of logs you've conjured over the past hour. "...special workouts, we have a lot of wood now. I told Ghost to make a big fire outside and we can cook dinner over it. It'll be fun, come on. Ghost is making tea, too."
Soon enough, your sore fingers are tingling, holding a warm, ceramic mug of tea. Ghost chucks another bundle of wood into the fire, spitting out smoke and embers, and sits on a tree stump while Blue takes the folding chair. Your hair is down, tucked behind your ears, and a patchwork quilt Blue grabbed from her room lays across your lap. The mug burns pleasantly against your lips when you take a sip, the herbal taste sliding down your throat. Whatever plants he used to make it work together perfectly. It reminds you of the tea your mom used to make when you were sick.
"Do you like it more well-done or is this okay?" Blue asks, meticulously spinning the skewered squirrel meat over the fire.
"That's good, thank you."
Ghost cooks their dinner, and the three of you eat and sip in a comforting silence. You avoid looking at him, opting for the starry sky above your head, where bold stars beam even brighter than the fireflies. It's quite nice. When you're done, you toss the bones into the fire and listen to them splinter.
Blue breaks the silence. "Would you rather be burned alive or be attacked by a bunch of squirrels with rabies?"
You take another sip of tea. "How many squirrels, exactly?"
She taps her chin. "One hundred."
"I think if it were fifty, I could handle them. One hundred, probably not. I'll choose being burned."
She makes a face. "That is a terrible death."
"Most deaths are terrible."
"Fair enough. Ghost?"
For the first time since this morning, you steal a glance. His elbows rest upon his splayed knees, and the orange flames reflect in his eyes as if they were twin black, mirrors. "I could handle the squirrels."
She snorts a laugh. "Even you can't survive rabies, though."
He shrugs. "Takes some time to kill you."
"Let's play a different game," you interject. "Maybe something a little less... morbid tonight."
"Like what?" Blue chimes. 
You shrug indifferently. "What other ones do you know?"
"Not that many. You tell us one, Twix."
"Well, I know one good one. You have to act something out and then we'll guess what it is. But you can't talk."
"Oh, that's easy."
"Try it, then," you nod at her.
She leaps up from the chair, nearly spilling her tea in the process. Without hesitation, she puts on a stoic expression and begins shooting finger guns. Quiet laughter shakes your shoulders.
"Are you, um... Ghost?" you guess, making her throw her arms up.
"How did you guess so quickly?"
"It was a bit obvious."
"Not to me," Ghost murmurs. "Terrible impression, kid."
Across the fire, you glance at him again, and his eyes meet yours, reminding you of the events that took place and the words that you spat. Emotions pulse against your ribs, like a swarm of flickering fireflies, but you fail to catch and examine any of them. 
A tug on your arm ends the shared look. Tea splatters around the rim of your mug as Blue ushers you up. "Your turn now."
"Alright, alright."
You decide not to feel humiliated with both pairs of eyes on you. They've both seen much stranger things than you act out a squirrel, which must be a good impression because Ghost guesses it right away.
A sudden crack of lightning in the distance puts an end to the game before Ghost can have a turn, which you suspect he is pleased about. He puts out the fire just before clouds roll in, blocking out the stars, and a drizzle of rain begins. Back inside, you kick off your boots and sink to the sofa as Blue says goodnight. Once she’s in her room, Ghost pauses in the threshold of the hall and speaks over his shoulder.
"Get some sleep. You'll need it for tomorrow, even if it's raining.”

Ruben Dias x Reader - Beginning of A Beautiful Day
⚠️ Warning ⚠️
+18
Tumblr media
Enjoy!
Somthing was disturbing your sleep. Somthing that made your body stirr between the sheets.
"That feels good." You muttered, not fully awake yet.
"Stop moving." You heard Ruben say, his voice coming from somewhere below you.
"Ruben?"
His head was buried between your legs. The rough sensation of his beard against your skin left you arching your back and sighing in satisfaction.
"Baby, I'm going to need you to stop moving so much."
"But it feels so good." You groaned, eyes still shut.
There was a shift of weight, causing the bed to rock back and forth.
You opened your eyes to find Ruben leaning over you.
"Good morning." You smiled.
"Good morning." He replied, voice deeper than usual. "Can you please stop moving so I can fuck you with my mouth?"
You chuckled. "Isn't it a bit early for that?"
Ruben bent down, his lips gently brushing against yours. "No." 
You smiled, feeling a rush of happiness and contentment. This was the price you payed for sleeping naked. At least three times a week did you wake up to Ruben's hand between your legs, his hard erection pressed against your back. Only after game nights did he have more time to harass you in the morning, his training session wasn't due until the afternoon.
"I've been waiting for you to wake up." He said, tracing kisses down your collarbone, continuing towards the valley between your breasts.
You giggled, feeling a flutter in your chest. "You don't need to wait for me to wake up, I'm already yours."
Ruben chuckled and continued to kiss you, his lips exploring every inch of your swollen chest, his tounge licking across your errect nipples.
You closed your eyes, letting yourself get lost in the moment. You loved how Ruben made you feel, like the only person in the world.
As the kisses continued, Ruben who also slept naked, let himself slip in and out of you, not fully fucking you, but more so letting his cock fill you up.
You felt a twinge of discomfort. A need to squirm and wriggle. You tried to stifle the urges, not wanting to ruin the moment.
"Ruben, can you stop for a second?" You asked, your voice a little more urgent than you intended.
Ruben pulled back, looking at you with a confused expression. "Why? Don't you like what I'm doing?"
You shook your her head, feeling heat rise to your cheeks. "No, it's just..." You've had this problem before. Sometimes it took longer for you to get in the mood. You had gone to see a doctor about it and she said it was perfectly normal for some women not to get wet. She recommended using lubrication as a solution, but sometimes you felt like lube only made a mess of things, like staining your expensive bedsheets.
"Y/N." Ruben's expression changed to understanding, and he pulled back, giving you a sly smile.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
"Don't apologize." He frowned. Ruben then continued to trace kisses down your body, until his head was left buried between your legs again.
You fell back against the pillows, sighing in relief. You knew that Ruben wanted to help you, but you couldn't stop to feel a little anxious, that you were hurting his feelings by ruinung the moment.
"Ruben, I don't know if this is such a good idea," you said, voice a little more hesitant than before.
Ruben raised his head, his smile growing wider. "Oh, I think this is a very good idea. "
You hesitated for a moment, then nodded. You knew that you couldn't resist Ruben's charms for long. And besides, you did want to feel his touch, to be close to him. Why not let him take his time with you? There was nothing to be embarrassed about.
So you let him hold you down, with his arms wrapped around your waist and his mouth  devouring your pussy like a lion during feeding time at the zoo. You felt a rush of pleasure, a sense of freedom and ecstasy that you've never felt before. In this moment shared with Ruben you knew that you were exactly where you were meant to be, with the person you were meant to be with.
And as you gasped with the arrival of your explosive orgasm, you knew that this was just another beginning of a beautiful day and many more beautiful days to come.

hello! what are your thoughts on sevika with a reader who has crippling anxiety? like most days in bed because she cannot leave. of course you don’t have to and remember to take care of yourself🩵
i've been there it's so fucking horrible, i hope this eases some of that pain for you baby. <3
men and minors dni
she has a whole system in place for when her baby's having bad days.
all you need to do is tell her that you're feeling anxious and she's on it.
she never forces you to do something you don't want to, and she tries her very best not to overwhelm you. she just gently sits on the side of your bed, rubbing your back beneath the blankets as she quietly asks you what she can do for you.
sometimes the answer is nothing. when this is the case, sevika will leave you to sleep for a while as she goes to the kitchen to cook up your absolute favorite foods. it doesn't matter how indulgent or unhealthy they are, she just wants to get something in your stomach. she'll come back a few hours later, help you sit up in bed, and present a plate loaded with food to you.
she's never had to yet, but she'd even be willing to feed you if you asked her to.
she's certain to keep your water filled and by your bed. even if you don't drink it, she comes in once every few hours to put fresh ice in it, just so when you find the motivation to grab it it'll be nice and cool for you.
if you want to be alone, she'll leave you alone. she'll set you up with your phone or laptop and charger, pulling up your comfort show and putting all your social medias on mute-- hoping that you won't start doom scrolling.
she still checks in on you once or twice an hour, just poking her head in to make sure you're okay, pressing a kiss to your head before leaving you alone again.
but if you don't want to be alone, sevika's all over you.
she'll curl up around you, one hand on your heart and one on your stomach, gently drawing circles into your skin as she deeply breathes in your ear so you subconscious can match it.
if you want it quiet, she'll stay quiet. if you want to watch your comfort show, she'll watch it with you. but if you want to hear her voice, sevika will talk herself hoarse to bring you some comfort. anything from the weather to her earliest memories as a child-- she'll tell it all to you just to distract you from your brain.
if you start feeling restless and jittery, sevika's happy to flop on top of you and act as your personalized weighted blanket.
it doesn't matter how long it takes-- sevika will wait by your side (or in the next room) with you until your anxiety lessens enough that you feel like you can get up.
and when you finally do, she'll help you to the shower, stripping you down and turning the water on to the perfect temperature before guiding you under the stream.
she lets you stand like that for a few minutes while she puts fresh pj's on the counter and fresh sheets on the bed. then, she strips down and comes in with you, helping you wash-- knowing how overwhelming even that can be for you.
and when you're done, if you're up for it, sevika will dress you up and take you on a very very quick walk around the block.
i'm talking short. like up the street and back. she knows that being away from home makes you anxious-- the last thing she wants to do is make it worse. she just wants you to get some fresh air because she knows it helps. and usually, by the time you guys are back in front of your house, it has helped, and you tug on her hand and ask if she'd like to go around the whole block with you.
she always says yes. always.
when you get back home, no matter how late (or early) it is, sevika will make you a cup of sleepytime tea or a glass of warm milk or hot chocolate, along with a few melatonin capsules.
she'll guide you back to bed and lay with you until you start snoring. it's only then that she'll rise and change herself into sleeping clothes, gathering the plates that have accumulated by your bed and taking them to the sink, but leaving them for the morning. after all-- she's got you all cozy in her bed. she's not gonna leave you alone for a moment longer than she needs.
it doesn't matter how often it happens. it doesn't matter how long it will take. sevika's going to be by your side though thick and thin, and it'll take a whole lot more than bad anxiety to scare her away.

The Best Thing That's Ever Been Mine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
✦ Previous Chapter | Next Chapter | Better Man Universe
✦Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Single!Mother
✦Word Count: 1.9 k
✦Warnings: Fluff, slight anxiety, Dad!Jake, Maty and Jake Duo, just adorableness
✦A/n: I thought I would give you all cute, fluff, before shit hits the fan!
✦Library (Follow for updates! I no longer have a taglist.)
To say you were thankful that Jake was home would be an understatement, not only had you missed him terribly, but Mathew had been in utter despair the whole time he was deployed. Not only had the four-year-old’s nightmares become a nightly occurrence, that landed him in your bed, but the daytime was just as hard. Maty had grown intensely attached to Jake in the short time that he had been living in the house before he was deployed, and since being home it seemed like the two were practically attached at the hip.
You knew that Jake had started waking up with Mathew in the middle of the night again, and Jake had automatically fallen into the role of soothing him. You had tried to convince Jake that he didn’t need to, that he needed and deserved to rest after the stressful deployment.
You didn’t know all of the exact details, but from the bits that Warlock had mentioned in passing, you knew that it was ranked close to the Uranium mission and that the mortality rate was high once again for the Dagger Squadron. Though thankfully they had all made it home safely and now had the week off.
You hadn’t meant to sleep in, though without Maty jumping on you this morning, you hadn’t gotten your early wake-up call. Your rub the sleep from your eye and push up to cress Jake’s side of the bed, his absence evident, given the cold sheets that surrounded you.
Jake’s t-shirt rests on your frame, slipping off your shoulder as you rise from the bed, in search of your shorts before heading out to find your boys. Your grab your scrunchy from the dresser as you leave your room and throw your hair up into a messy bun.
The sound of music drifts through the house, an old country song that you’re sure Jake has played for you before. You follow the twang of the guitar, before both Jake and Mathew’s voices ring out through the house.
We like fixing things and holding mama's hand Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad?
Your breath catches at the word, you and Jake had never specifically talked about Mathew ever calling him dad and you can’t help the anxiety when it rises up in your gut. You knew Jake would never want to hurt Mathew, though you weren’t sure if that was a title Jake wanted to be called.
I wanna do everything you do So I've been watching you
Their singing continues and only grows louder as you reach the doorway. Your hip settles on the kitchen doorframe, and your gaze is met with a sight that you would happily welcome into your life forever. A shirtless Jake, with Mathew on his hip as they both sing along to the song, well Mathew yells out random words that he knows, but the smile resting on Jake’s face has butterflies erupting in your stomach.
They had always been amazing together, Jake had taken every meltdown, nightmare, or just bad day in stride, and certainly amazed you most of the time. Sure, Bradley and your father were good with Mathew, but Jake was a wonder of the world. Not only had he always taken your thoughts and opinions into account, but Jake loved Mathew the way you always hoped a man in your life would.  From that first meeting, the pair had formed an instant bond, that rivaled the one you had with Mathew as his mother.
The pair don’t notice you as they work on the ever-growing stack of pancakes.
“Daddy, make Mickey! Please?”
Hearing the name fall from Mathew’s lips, compared to a song has a silent gasp falling from your lips. The tightness in your chest grows slightly in anticipation of Jake’s sour reaction to the name. Maty wasn’t his child, why would Jake want to be called such an emotional, love-filled, life-altering title.
“You’re sure you want Mickey, buddy?”
“Mickey, daddy!”
Jake tickles at Mathew’s tummy and an eruption of giggle falls from your sweet boy, as his arms wrap tighter around Jake’s neck. As he readjusts his grip, the familiar blue material of Mathew’s blanky peeks at you over Jake’s shoulder and you almost laugh. From the moment Jake had given Maty the blanket, it was never far from reach. Mathew’s need for it only grew while Jake was deployed, and every car ride, whether it be to the beach, store, or your parent’s house, the blanky came.
“Alrighty, let daddy go to work!”
The second not-so-silent gasp that falls from your lips, is what gains Maty’s attention. His bright green eyes, which match that of Jake’s, land on you instantly as a high-pitch squeal yells out ‘momma.’
Both of your boys spin around easily, smiles resting easy on their faces, happy to see you for the first time this morning. Though Jake's face quickly becomes one of concern, as he takes in your expression. You hadn’t known that tears were falling from your eyes, though Mathew is quick to fill you in on the reason for the sudden change in Jake’s face.
“Momma sad? Why are you crying?”
Your hand instantly rises to your face, fingertips coming in contact with your tear-stricken face and a small laugh falls from your lips before you’re pushing off the frame and moving to them both.
“No baby, they’re happy tears. I promise.”
Your hand reaches up to stroke through Mathew’s unruly hair before you lean up and kiss him on the forehead. His own hands reach out from Jake and cover your cheeks, whipping the stray tears you had missed.  Your head settles on Jake’s shoulder, leaning into the pair enjoying the moment, and the sweet smell of vanilla drifting from the stack of pancakes on the counter.
“Alright buddy, you go get situated at the table. Momma and I will bring the pancakes to you!”
Jake sets the small boy down and gives him a wink, before sending him off to the dining room. You gently remain leaning against Jake’s shoulder, though his body shifts slightly and the arms just holding Mathew are now holding you. You nuzzle into his bare chest and enjoy the quiet thud of Jake’s heart echoing through your ear.
“Darlin’”
The arms wrapped around you move to pull you back by the shoulders, and the small whine emitted from you as you try and nuzzle deeper into Jake’s chest, has him laughing at you. Your hand finally releases their hold, and you let Jake pull you back. His hand rises to cup your cheek and get you to look at him, as his thumb stroke gently back and forth across your cheek.
“Hi, Sweets.”
“Hi, Jakey.”
A soft smile graces his face as he watches you, taking in your every breath, movement, or slight shift. The green in his eyes is prominent against the sun shining through the kitchen window, and the quick thought once again crosses through your mind, of how Mathew and he could have identical eyes.
“Did you not hear, darlin’? That’s not my name anymore.”
You don’t miss the unease tone in his voice, the slight questioning in the statement. Your own eyes search his, expecting to see some form of distaste for the name. Mathew had never called anyone that name, not even Adam. Given that Mathew was so little, but also the fact that Adam didn’t claim him, the name never came up. Sure, you’d tried to explain what a dad was to Mathew when he asked, but he always just nodded along completely understanding. Looking back now though, your description could have been the reason Jake got the title.
“I never meant for him to throw this at you, Jake.” Your hands resting at your side, raise, clasping together, then unclasping, over and over. “I can go talk to him now if it makes you uncomfortable.”
“Hey darlin’, look at me.”
His other hand rises and gently grips your cheek, forcing you to stare directly into his eyes and not waver away like you had been.
“I’ll tell you this every single day for the rest of our lives if I have to, but baby, you and Maty are it for me.” A shuddered breath creeps it way up your chest, and you can stop the sliver line of tears from forming at your water line.
“So, you wanna be–” You push a breath out, annoyed at the quiver in your voice. “You wanna be Mathew’s daddy?” You nibble at your top lip, the need to make sure that Jake wants you as well, scares you and you’re terrified of being unwanted all over again.
“And you want me?”
Your question comes out choked and the hands cradling your face, move you and pull you back into Jake’s chest. Though your anxiety ticks away at your chest and has you pulling away to look back up into his eyes.
“Sweetheart, I’ve wanted you from the first moment I saw you.” The smile Jake gives you is breathtaking, and one of your favorite looks on him. “Someday, if you’ll have me, I would like to make it official for both you and Maty.  People already think he’s mine and well, you’re too beautiful to not be a Seresin.”  
A soft blush covers your cheeks, as the tension in your chest releases, and a delicate laugh falls from you. Your head instantly drops forward, with the relaxation in your neck, and finds home back against Jake’s chest. Your eyes fall shut, as you take in the confirmation that Jake saw the same future for you three, as you had grown to not only want but need. You place a soft kiss against the center of Jake’s chest before you pull back to look into Jake’s eyes.
“I love you, and I would love that.”
“I love you, darlin’.”
The both of you find each other, lips slotting against one another, in a slow, passion-filled kiss. The loving moment is quickly broken, as you hear a high-pitched laugh, followed by a small figure colliding into your legs. Breaking away from one another, you both look down between the two of you and find Mathew. Looking back at the two of you, before a wide smile spreads across his face and he’s grabbing one of each of your legs and hugging.
“Did you make Mickey, daddy?”
Both you and Jake share a look, before he is reaching down and settling Mathew in between the two of you.
“I was just about to, but momma here was distracting me.”
Both Maty and Jake look to you, waiting for an explanation. The smirk Jake gives you, has you given him an ‘oh really' look. You quickly grab Mathew from Jake’s arms and rest him against your lap.
“Daddy just couldn’t stop talking about, how he wanted to make you a big brother.”
You give Jake an identical smirk back hoping to see him backpedal, though your tactic falls completely as a wide smile forms on his face. Before he’s grabbing Maty back from you and moves out of the kitchen.
“Momma you finish making Pancakes, Maty and I have some terms to go over for the new baby!”  
The pair are leaving the kitchen before you can utter another word, leaving you baffled at how quickly the tables turned. Though as you start on the Mickey Mouse pancake, you can stop the smile that forms on your face and the flutter of butterflies that erupt in your stomach, at the thought of having a baby with Jake.

A Phone Call Away
this is just goldenpunk fluff idk what else to tell you, there's no plot to this
“Hi,” Pav whispered, as soon as the call connected.
“‘ello,” Hobie hummed. “Wha’ are ya’ upto?”
“Nothing, I’m just out getting some groceries. Auntie sent me out and told me not to come back, until I find the brand of tea she likes,”  Pav smiled and Hobie could feel the sun shining on his face. Then he frowned. “Are you still in bed?” 
Hobie laughed. ”I was readin’ a book,” He said, holding up 1984.
“Gadhe. Tell me you've eaten something, at least,” Pav shook his head, putting a bag of potatoes in his cart.
“Ate some leftover chips, luv’, don’t worry about it.”
“I am going to worry, it’s like 2 in the afternoon at yours, and you’re still in bed. I’m not even there to cook you something.” Pav whined. Hobie felt something warm curl up in his chest.
“Awwh, babe, you love me?”
“Of course, janemann, I love you so much.”  Pav held up a pack of tiny biscuits Hobie recognised to be ‘little hearts’. “I would literally kill to kiss you right now.”
“I’d die to kiss ya’.”
“Yeah.” Pavi stared at something off camera, doing some calculations with his unoccupied hand. “Hey, do you think I should get the family pack for 150 rupees or buy two 4-packs of maggi at 160?” He turned to the camera, showing a yellow pack of noodles to Hobie.
“I don't even know the difference,” said Hobie, finally getting up from his bed, looking for the copper water bottle Pav had bought for him.
Pav hummed, “I’m getting the two 4 packs,” He dumped the said items into his cart. “Should I get schezwan chutney for you?”
“The red spicy one? Oh fuck yea’ ov' course,” He said, watching the shirt ride up Pav’s shirt as he reached for the sauce on the top shelf. “It too high for you, shona?” Hobie asked, seeing the predictable blush rise up Pav's face at the hindi pet name. He loved it when Hobie tried and butchered hindi.
“Jaanu, you know I'm in public. I can't respond like I want to, that's so unfair.”
“I know, mere subah ki kiran,” He said, voice raspy, words feeling unusually rounded yet familiar.
“Hobie!”
Hobie laughed. He could see the deep, almost-maroon blush high on Pav’s cheeks. 
“Have you been learning from Gayatri again?” Pav asked, voice accusatory, and a sparkle in his eyes.
“I'm not gunna conform o' deny tha',” Hobie finally found the bottle under the bed, and drained it.
“I love you so much, you ass.”
“I love ya too. Wha' time is it at yours now?”
“Around eight pm, why do you ask?”
“I thought we’d eat together, you could have dinner early and I'd’ve a late brekkie.”
“It’s a late lunch at this point,” Pav scolded. “But yes, I'd like that. What are we eating?
“Mac n' cheese?”
“You know that auntie would kill me if i told her that's my dinner.”
“Jus' tell her it's a snack.”
“You are the snack,” Pavi giggled, highly weird behaviour when in public, but Hobie liked the thought of them being disgustingly cute for everyone to see. Everyone to see their love. Everyone to see how important Pav is to him.
Another part begged him to hide Pav away bc what if his enemies hurt Pav to get at him?
Hobie shook his head, because what enemies did he have? He was a tattoo artist and Pav was a physics academic. It's not like they were fighting supervillains everyday.
Pav thought the head shaking was for his comment because he doubled down. “No you definitely are.” 
“Does tha' mean you wanna eat me instead ov' the mac n’ cheese?”
“No- I mean- Yes, but what the fuck Hobie, I’m literally at the supermarket, and yes I have earphones in, but-” Someone knocks into Pav.
Hobie recognised the glint of her earrings a moment before he heard her voice. “Oh my god, Pav! You didn't tell me you were back in India?”
“Gayatri! I'm sorry, I came back like 3 days ago, and I've been too busy with packing Maya auntie’s things, I literally forget to sleep,” Pav laughed.
“Sounds like an excuse, Pavitr Prabhakar, you little bitch. If you had let me know, I'd have helped you.”
“That's exactly why I didn't tell you, aren't you working on that new movie? With Ranveer Singh in it?”
“So what, I could make time? And what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help Maya auntie and you to pack her things- Where's she going by the way?”
“Oh, uh- she's moving to the UK, in with us.”
“Oh, she's leaving?”
“Yeah, Hobie and I thought it'd be better if she lived with us and UK has better resources aur sach bolun to unko mujhe apne paas hi rakhna hai.”
“Yeah that's good, I'm going to miss her, I'll miss you both,” Gayatri's voice seemed sad. “But now I've got an excuse to barge into your house.”
“Wasn't I reason enough?”
“You? yes. Hobie? yes. Dono saath mein? Nope, thank you I'm pretty sure I’d have to bleach my eyes.”
“Thats-”
“Shut it. Speaking of hobie, show me the ring?”
Hobie watched as Pav swapped hands, bringing up his left ring finger into view, a familiar ring shining under the harsh grocery store lights.
Gayatri muffled a squeal. Pav’s grin was so wide that Hobie thought it was bleeding off him to Gayatri and him because Hobie found himself smiling into the cabinets as he took out a box of pasta.
“Ohh! kitna pyaara hai! is that real moonstone?”
“Yeah, it's covered with a thin layer of artificial diamond, it's custom made.”
“I'm so jealous. if my next partner doesn't put in at least this amount of effort, i'm breaking up,” Gayatri shoved Pav gently.
“Hobie would love to hear that. Hey, Hobie, did you hear that?” Pav turned to Hobie gleefully, Gayatri butting into the frame with a delighted look.
“Hi Angrez, wasn't stealing Pav’s heart enough? You had to take Maya auntie too?”
“Oh you can’t hear him, take my other earbud.”
Gayatri takes it, sticking out a tongue at both of them.
“Hello guruji,  you are the one 'elpin' me charm them,” Hobie saluted her with the spoon he was using to scoop out salt.
“Oh my god you are so impossible, what's the status on the Kohinoor?”
“Still on the king's head, regrettably.”
“You promised to get it back if I let you have Pav-”
“Hey, am I a tradable commodity now?”
“-at this rate you have to return the entire British museum, including interest.”
“I'd gladly do tha' on its own.”
“I’m going to accompany Pav to yours to make sure you do just that. Okay, guys, you can get back to your mushiness. I need to get going.” Gayatri waved at him and handed Pav his earbud, disappearing out of frame.
Pav looked at him with a giddy smile “I saw you put pasta in water, what do you want to bet I can check this out and get a take out box in ten minutes?”
“Not one euro or a rupee, I know ya can, including Maya auntie’s favourite tea.”
“I already found it,” Pav held up a box and Hobie couldn't resist blowing a kiss.
“You're on then,” He said, holding up a bag of shredded mozzarella. “Let’s see who gets mac n’ cheese done first.”

♡ good cop, bad cop - n.w ♡
requested by 🐍<3 i absolutely love this, may be my favourite thing i've written in ages
nancy wheeler x fem!reader, tired!reader, fluff, hurt/comfort, set before s4, exhaustion, suggestive?
nancy steps in when you're about to fall asleep standing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
dustin had started the cop analogy.
in reference to the four older kids that babysat them, there were two pairs. robin and steve, you and nancy. between the two former, there was no distinction. but all the kids agreed that you were good cop, nancy was bad cop.
which is why they begged you to take them to the arcade. you were tired already, and you had an essay to finish writing, but then will said, "please, it's my last week before we move!"
funnily enough, that excuse also had you dragged into the cinema, the park, the wheeler's basement, the park again because el left her bag, and then the library.
by the time you'd dropped them all home, your alarm clock read 10.24pm.
you still had an essay to write.
the rising sun cast shadows through your window, pronouncing the dark half-moons stamped beneath your eyes even further. they cast a slope across your nose in the new light, following the hair spread across the desk you'd fallen asleep at, too exhausted to crawl into your own bed.
a knock at your door stirred you, as you removed a piece of hair from your eyelid via confused blinking.
"c- come in?"
you weren't expecting to see brunette curls around the side of your door, and a perfectly manicured hand leaning against it.
"nance? hi..." you didn't want to be rude and ask what she was doing here, but you were almost definitely sure you didn't have plans today.
she smiled, approaching you and kissing your forehead briefly, "morning, your dad let me up. i've got coffee and bagels."
at the mention of breakfast you sat up properly with a stretch, gladly accepting her offerings.
you yawned, "do you have anything to do today?"
there was still a slightly giddy, affectionate smile on her face, as she let her thumb run a course over the sleepless stains under your eyes. you tried not to lean into her touch, but your deprived brain failed.
"no, darling, i've got the whole day free. we can just relax, unless you're busy?"
you shook your head to indicate your availability and let her move to face your back, arms around your midsection. she noticed the tension in your tired body as she bent down to whisper, a slight rhythm to her voice, "when your parents leave, we've got the whole house and a lot of the day... bet we could come up with some way for you to relax."
despite yourself, you smiled again and leaned into her, curling your hand around her arm, "that sounds good."
not even twenty minutes later, you were curled into a corner of your couch while nancy fiddled with the television. your hair had been brushed, your clothes from yesterday swapped for fresh ones, your face washed and teeth brushed. beginning to feel slightly more alive.
"i'm gonna grab something from the kitchen, i'll be back in a second love."
they didn't even knock. will hung at the back, seemingly unsure about the home intrusion, but clearly powerless to stop it because mike was on a mission.
he stood before you as you sat up and put your best attempt at joy on your face.
"morning guys." you repressed a yawn.
mike waved, "hi. can you drive us to family video?"
you frowned lightly, "can't steve?"
"nah his shift was too early, we weren't up in time."
you bit your lip, picking up your car keys with a sigh, "alright, but he can take you back."
they nodded amicably, will and dustin offering you a speedy thanks. they hadn't noticed nancy in the doorway with her arms folded.
"guys!" she wasn't shouting but there was a clear tone involved, "no, no way. you dragged y/n around all yesterday, and gave her like two hours to sleep. leave her alone."
mike threw his hands up, "nancy! she already said she would."
"don't care, get out. and knock next time you heathen."
grumbling under his breath, her brother shot her the finger, half-smiled at you, and left. dustin, lucas and will trailed after him, mumbling their thanks to you as they went.
chucking your car keys back onto the table they'd rested on previously, you sagged into the sofa. nancy joined you, and her hands went to yours.
"thank you," you were barely whispering, but she was paying enough attention to your lips to figure out what you said.
she didn't answer you in words, simply tugging your head towards her chest and returning your focus to the television.

Liv!! Idk if your age gap anon got back to you but I’ll take any age gap fics you have 👀
Hi Danni! I haven’t heard back from them but your wish is my command 😌💜 since I already did rec lists for some age gap ships like Dralbus and Scarry, I’ve decided to make this one about the age difference element itself (Daddy kink, loss of virginity, teacher/student dynamic etc etc) if that makes sense? Happy Friday everyone!
Drarry:
Draco at Nineteen by birdsofshore (E, 5k)
It's the middle of the night and Harry Potter is sitting on my bed looking distinctly weird. I've had some fucked-up dreams in my time, but this one... this one is something new.
Not Nineteen Forever by @sorrybutblog (E, 6k)
A rogue charm hits on a mission and suddenly, Draco is nineteen again. Harry is still thirty-five and doing his best to look after his de-aged Auror partner (and forget about his long unrequited crush) until St. Mungo’s can brew the antidote.
The Eighth Tale by lettered (E, 12k)
Draco Malfoy tries to fix the past, but instead mucks it up some more. For Harry, it all becomes quite clear.
Just a Matter of Time by @gracerene (E, 23k)
Draco's in a bit of a rut. He's nearing forty, divorced, and he still can't figure out how to make his Time Turner reconstruction work. He's bored, he can admit it, so he's not nearly as concerned as he should be when his pet project malfunctions and sends him twenty years into the past.
Fast Forward, Two Steps Back by emmagrant01 (E, 36k)
Everyone knows that Draco Malfoy died in the Room of Requirement ten years ago. So when he suddenly reappears at Hogwarts ten years later, still seventeen years old, Professor Harry Potter's life gets very complicated.
Rare pair:
Rise and Shine by tamlane (E, 2.5k) - Hermione/Teddy
It’s too early to fight off Teddy Lupin’s wandering hands. Not that Hermione tries very hard any other time of the day.
Beneath a Foreign Moon by @lqtraintracks (E, 2.7k) - Harry/Teddy
Harry visits Teddy in the middle of the night.
Getting Hard by Snegurochka (E, 3.3k) - Harry/Scorpius
Scorpius always preferred to do it now, now, and then maybe again in twenty minutes, but Harry took forever. Slowly, though, Scorpius is beginning to see the appeal of being patient.
Slip Free of My Grasp by @lqtraintracks (E, 3.4k) - Harry/Sirius
I don't want to be bad for him. I want to do bad things and still be, somehow, inexplicably, good.
Simple As It Is, Complicated As You Need by @lqtraintracks (E, 3.4k) - Harry/Teddy
It's not something they do often, this whole 'Daddy' thing. But to be fair, they don't even have regular sex as often as Teddy would like either. It's not as though they've even admitted they're doing anything.
A Carnival Mirror by secretsalex (E, 3.4k) - Draco/Albus
Albus Severus is nothing like his father. It’s all those differences that Draco can’t stop thinking about.
Mothering Sunday by pauraque (T, 3.6k) - Astoria/Narcissa
Narcissa always wanted a little girl of her own, and Astoria never really had a proper Mum. Together they build something that neither of them ever knew was possible.
Home for the Holidays by @gracerene (E, 4k) - Charlie/James
Charlie was expecting a normal holiday season at home, surrounded by food, laughter, and the warm embrace of family. He didn't count on James taking that last bit quite so literally.
A Bigger Splash by @wolfpants (E, 7k) - Draco/Albus
It's his dad's 45th birthday in rural Sicily, and all Albus wants is to be seen by Draco Malfoy.
The Moral Dilemma of Sharing by carpemermaid (E, 7.7k) - Draco/Harry/Scorpius
After a handful of coincidental run-ins and a half-joking suggestion Draco and Scorpius had formed the habit of cruising together for wizards to pull on the weekends.
To Me You Are the Sea by marguerite_26 (E, 8.5k) - Harry/Scorpius
Scorpius dreaded attending Harry Potter's fiftieth birthday party for more reasons than he cared to admit.
Take Him to the Stars (Cut to the Feeling) by @writcraft (E, 10k) - Harry/Scorpius
Scorpius has a thing for older men. For one older man, in particular.
Unguarded by birdsofshore (E, 15k) - Draco/Albus
Staying with Scorpius for the first time proves to be more eventful than Albus expected, right from the moment when he walks in on Mr Malfoy shaving.
Team Players by @shiftylinguini (E, 15k) - Teddy/James, Oliver/James
Everyone has that one celebrity they’d move heaven and earth to get between their legs, and James Potter is no exception. He just never anticipated that number one on his Freebie List would end up in the same room as him, let alone would make the first move.

Father-Son Bonding (1)
With Maddie and Jazz off attending a women in STEM conference over the weekend, Jack decides to take Danny out for the best father-son bonding activity there is—ghost hunting! They're going to catch that elusive Danny Phantom or die trying! Metaphorically, of course. Jack would never let his son die hunting ghosts, or at least... that's what he thinks.
Written for the prompts:
Jack and Danny spend quality time together hunting that damn ghost boy! Danny is being such a help! Bonus points for if they're both enjoying the endeavor. [from @pricklenettle], Jack Fenton finds out. [from @underforeversgrace], and Jack is excited to hunt ghosts alongside his ghost-powered son, and Danny is enjoying the time with his dad way more than he thought he would. Maddie, however, is deeply troubled by all the ways her son could get hurt, and her overprotectiveness causes a heaviness to fall over the Fenton family home. [from @astatia-ghast]
Read it on AO3
Chapter 1: Danny Phantom Doesn't Know What's Coming (Ch.2; Ch.3)
[Warning for violence]
Jack Fenton was excited.
He was often excited, so that wasn't really noteworthy, but the reason he was excited this time, as opposed to all the other times was.
Jazzy had talked Maddie into going to a Women in STEM conference together during Presidents Day weekend, and that meant that it would just be him and Danny for four whole days, and he was excited. It was rare that the two of them had a boys' weekend together where they didn't have to be the ones getting out of the house. As much as Jack loved fishing, he had other plans for this weekend.
"Rise and shine, Danny boy!" Jack shouted boisterously into his son's room. "The early bird catches the ghost."
Danny groaned and sat up in his bed. He glanced at his alarm clock. "What early bird?" He asked. "Dad, it's almost ten."
"Well... it's just a metaphor," Jack said.
Danny shook his head and chuckled.
"Are you excited for our boys' weekend Danny? I've got big plans!"
"Oh yeah? What are they?"
"It's a surprise!" Jack shouted, absolutely giddy. "Now put this on and meet me in the lab downstairs!" He threw one of Danny's white Fenton jumpsuits at him.
"Let me guess, does it have something to do with ghost hunting?" Danny asked, holding up the jumpsuit and ripping off the picture of his dad's face.
Jack tried not to be too offended. He probably just wanted to match his father, since Jack's own jumpsuit didn't have any sort of logo on it.
"That's just the half of it," Jack started to say, then cut himself off. "Ah! You won't get any spoilers from me! And don't worry about about breakfast! I packed plenty of beef jerky, cereal bars, and fudge in the Fenton GAV."
"Alright Dad, I'll meet you downstairs in a few minutes," Danny said.
"The hunt is on!" Jack shouted, before leaving and closing Danny's door behind him.
Danny chuckled as his Dad left his room. Most of the time, their father-son activities were more... fishing and catch. You know, standard things like that. As much as mom wanted her kids to be capable of fighting ghosts, training them in martial arts and marksmanship, she was a lot more hesitant to let them actually fight ghosts. She thought that they should be older before they entered the dangerous world of ghost hunting.
But when mom was away, well, that was when their dad would take the kids out on ghost hunts so they could have some real-world experience. Jazz had always hated them, but Danny had absolutely loved them when he was little. They never actually found anything back then, of course, so it was kind of like going camping and saying that you were hunting for Bigfoot.
Once the portal opened, and there actually were ghosts around—not to mention the Danny was one of them—Danny had been dreading he next time Mom went away and Dad would take him 'ghost hunting' again, but now that it was actually happening, that childish glee of being able to do something 'grown up' with his dad was coming back anyway. That illicit excitement of his father taking him to do something that his mom wouldn't approve of, something they'd have to keep a secret.
Besides, there may have been actual ghosts now, but that didn't make his dad a more competent ghost hunter. And even if they did catch something, Danny could pretend to fall or fumble and let the poor ghost loose. He knew Dad might be a little disappointed at losing the ghost, but it wouldn't get him down for long—and with how often he fumbled things himself, there was no way he'd hold it against Danny.
So Danny pulled on his jumpsuit, brushed his teeth, ran a comb through his hair, and then headed downstairs to the lab with a smile on his face.
"Danny-boy! What took you so long?" His father greeted when he entered the lab.
"It's only been five minutes," Danny pointed out. "So what's the big surprise?"
"Oh, you're gonna love this!" Jack said. He grabbed the Fenton Finder and held it up in front of Danny, who instantly tensed. "Fenton Finder, locate ghost."
The small dish on the device swiveled and the radar beeped, and Danny held his breath.
"No ghost detected," came the Fenton Finder's cold, robotic voice.
"What?" Danny asked, surprised.
His dad was practically jumping up and down. "It's the new jumpsuit!" he explained, beaming. "Ever since your accident, you've been pinging on all our devices, and your mother finally figured out that you were probably contaminated with ectoplasm during that incident. I knew I couldn't take you out ghost hunting if you were just gonna throw off all our instruments, so I designed a new jumpsuit for you and sewed it myself.
"It's a new type of fabric I invented, completely ecto-insulated, I call it Fenton Fabric!"
"Catchy," Danny said. He couldn't help the slight, incredulous shake of his head. "Dad, this is... amazing. I can't believe you did this.... Thank you."
"Oh, don't mention it, son!" he declared. "It had to be done for you to be able to join me on the hunt for the most elusive ghost we Fentons have ever tried to capture! That's right!" He wrapped a massive arm around his son's narrow shoulders. "While the girls are away, you and me are gonna be hunting Danny Phantom." Conspiratorily, he leaned down and added, "That's the second part of the surprise."
"Awesome," Danny said, and much to his own surprise, he didn't even mean that sarcastically.
Any other day, if Danny had heard his dad proudly declaring that he was going to catch Danny Phantom, he would have felt nothing but dread. Not today, though. Today, he would be right by his dad's side the whole time, and he even had a brand new jumpsuit that would prevent the ghost hunting tech from locking onto him. Today would be a father-son ghost hunt with absolutely no chance of success, just the way it should be.
Step one, as always, was to arm themselves.
"So, what kind of weapons are you thinking?" Danny asked. "Fenton Bazooka?"
"No!" Dad shouted, then he slouched and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "No that one is... uh... prone to overloading and electrocuting the user. Your mom was okay with it, but I don't think we should bring it along."
"Oh."
Yeah... Danny could definitely agree with that call. He had no idea there were still such dangerous kinks to work out of Fenton Bazooka. That was good to know.
"Besides, we don't want to send that spook straight back to the Ghost Zone," his father added, waving a hand as he went to his workbench full of gizmos. "We want to capture him, and study him. That's why I propose we bring the Fenton Ghost Weasel! I caught him in it once before, you know, so I know it works."
"Yeah, you've told me the story."
"You'll bring your Fenton Thermos, too, as a back-up, of course, just in case it breaks, or something. You never can know what will go wrong on a ghost hunt, so it pays to be prepared," Jack continued. "Then there's the Fenton Finder, and the Fenton Foamer, in case he brings his buddies. What do you think, anything else?"
"Definitely the Ghost Fisher," Danny said. "If he's flying and out of range, we'll need a way to pull him in closer. Oh! And a portable ghost shield. 'Cause we're not gonna be in the RV the whole time."
"Good thinking, Dann-o," Dad agreed. "But it's not just an RV today. Today, it is the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle, just as it should be."
Danny smiled.
"Now, let's talk weapons."
The two of them armed themselves with the usual ecto-blasters to start with. Danny grabbed a Fenton Wrist-Ray as a back-up, and his Dad grabbed a pair of ghost gloves, since he was more of a brawler than a marksman. Danny also grabbed one of his mom's plasma-staffs, just because she wasn't here to tell him he couldn't, and he'd always wanted to try using the lightsaber-esque ghost hunting bo-staff, ever since he'd seen her use it to beat the crap out of Vlad's ghostly animal minions.
Finally, they were fully stocked and setting up a mobile HQ in the GAV, and Danny finally got a cereal bar for breakfast while his father flipped switched to fully arm and activate all the ghost hunting features in the vehicle that were usually turned off for the sake of safety. Once all that was done, the GAV pealed out of the garage and tore down the road, Fenton Finder and Spectral Sub-sonar both scanning the area for any signs of ghost activity.
The most dangerous part of ghost hunting with Dad wasn't the potentially deadly homemade ghost hunting weapons and tech, and it definitely wasn't the ghosts. No, the most dangerous part was Jack Fenton's infamous driving. He was such a menace that the local news did their best to warn the people of the town when he'd be on the roads. Danny made a point of calling Channel 4 to let them know of his father's likely plans to go ghost hunting tomorrow—and thanks the that, the roads were almost completely clear, and the pedestrians were keeping a wary eye out.
Danny, for his part, was clinging to his seat for dear life, strongly suspecting that it would be this that finally drove him into a grave. He may have been half dead already, but he was also half alive, and that half was on a roller-coaster with no safety restraints hurtling down the road—both having fun, and utterly terrified.
"Keep an eye out for any ghosts!" his father shouted over the whine of the engine and the squeal of the tires. "Even if they're not our target, any ghost we find might be able to lead us right to Phantom!"
"Roger that, Dad!" Danny shouted back, and he looked out his window, scanning the skies for any signs of that telltale green glow.
Since they weren't out to destroy any ghosts today, just capture them, Danny wasn't too worried about what would happen if they actually found some. They'd all just be put in the ghost containment cell in the lab, where Danny could 'accidentally' flush them all back into the Ghost Zone before anything bad could happen to them. He didn't see any ghosts in the sky, and his ghost sense didn't go off either, but there was a blip on the Spectral Sub-sonar.
The Spectral Sub-sonar worked by sending out periodic waves of a unique sound frequency that only occurred naturally in the Ghost Zone. It was an intangible sound, inaudible to humans because it couldn't interact with human eardrums. Danny could hear it though. It was kind of a low, resonant sound, like one of those massive orchestra drums, but quiet, and easy to ignore. It could pass right through solid objects, but bounced off anything made of ectoplasm, so it could be used to find ghosts and ghostly objects in the human world.
"I'm seeing a bogey, 9.3 klicks northwest, near the water park," Danny said.
"Well spotted, Danny!" his dad commended. "Man, we make a great team!"
The tires screeched as Dad made a sharp U-turn in that direction, and Danny tensed all his muscles to avoid getting whiplash. Then they were careening down the road toward the local Water Park. The closer they got, the more apparent it became that whatever was pinging on the sonar wasn't just near the park, it was in the water park. The parking lot was mostly empty, and Dad practically sling-shotted the GAV into an empty space... well, two empty spaces, since it was too wide for just one.
The second they stepped out of the GAV, Danny's ghost sense went off, alerting him to a ghost near by. He glanced over to make sure his dad hadn't noticed, but the bulky man was busying himself turning on the safety features before locking up so the GAV wouldn't activate against any innocent bystanders, so Danny was in the clear.
"Do you think it's that Danny Phantom?" Dad asked.
"Only one way to find out," Danny replied.
Floody Waters was still open, but this late in the autumn, there were few people there, even on a Saturday. A few families, with sopping wet little kids shivering whenever a cold breeze blew by. A couple of teenagers, the kind who didn't care if it was cold or not, and were probably planning to cause as much of a ruckus as they could manage before they were kicked out. More noteworthy than who was there was what most of them were doing, and that was screaming at the top of their lungs.
They hadn't been planning to go to the water park today, and it seemed Dad had even left his wallet (and his driver's license) at home. Still, they figured they could at least go up to the entrance and see if the park wouldn't make an exception for two ghost hunters. Much to Danny's surprise, the employee checking tickets at the entrance took one look at their jumpsuits and equipment and ushered them through.
"Oh, thank god you guys are here," the greasy-haired young man said. "It's pandemonium in there! You gotta get rid of that ghost!"
"GHOST?" Dad shouted, and tromped forward with purpose. "Have no fear! The Fenton boys are on the case!"
Danny stifled a laugh as he watched his father squeezing himself through the turnstile with absolutely no dignity whatsoever in his rush to get inside.
Danny didn't know what ghost to expect inside the water park. He'd fought ghosts there before, namely Klemper, and Johnny 13's Shadow. If it was either of them, there wouldn't be a problem. But it was a common misconception that ghosts always tended to haunt the same place, so Danny doubted it would be either of them, this time.
He was right.
The ghost terrorizing Floody Waters wasn't Klemper, or Shadow, or any of Danny's standard rogues. It was a ghost Danny had never seen before. He couldn't tell if the ghost was a man, woman, or a genderless Zone-born ghost. All he could see was a swirling vortex of water rising into the sky, casting a shadow over the park. When they spoke, their voice sounded like waves crashing against a cliff during a storm.
"Fear me, for I am Mariner!" the ghost shouted. "I am the stormy, indifferent seas, sinker of ships, drowner of sailors! This land-locked amusement center, this domesticated sea, this farce is an insult to the vast, uncontrollable ocean! I will free it, so that it may roil and churn like the true ocean, so that it may swallow its captors like a riptide, and never spit them out!"
Danny nearly transformed on instinct, before he remembered who he was with. He glanced nervously over at his dad, but the man showed no fear on his face. He stood his ground and stared up at the swirling pillar of water, sizing up the ghost.
"What do we do, Dad?" Danny asked.
Actually fighting a real ghost was not typically a part of the father-son ghost hunting adventure itinerary. Let alone a ghost this powerful whom Danny had never seen before. They were supposed to drive wildly around town, set some traps, set up a tent in the park for an overnight stake out, go out for sympathy burger the next day after finding nothing, and go home.
"Danny, the Fenton Foamer!" Dad ordered.
Danny slung the weapon off his back and tossed it over.
His dad caught it and took aim, not at the ghost, but at the water. Right before Danny's eyes, the toxic green foam mixed with the water, swirling upward until the entire waterspout took on an eerie green color, and then it collapsed, falling all at once and landing in the pools and rivers of the water park with a massive splash that soaked everyone around.
For a split second, Danny just stared at his father, shocked and impressed.
"Shoot, Danny!" his Dad ordered, snapping him out of it.
In a single motion, Danny drew his ecto-gun, took aim, and fired at Mariner.
The ghost howled in pain as they were hit right in the middle of the back, and whipped around, glowing red eyes wide with rage and fixed upon Danny and his father.
"Stand your ground, son!"
"Right!"
Reaching behind his back, Dad equipped the ghost gloves, and clenched his fists, preparing for a melee.
Mariner raised their arms, and the water churned, but it didn't do more than churn. While it was still mixed so thoroughly with the neutralizing foam from the Fenton Foamer, Mariner couldn't exert as much control over it as they had before.
"Very well," the said lowly, though their voice carried all the way to the ground. "If you dare to contaminate the tides, then I shall drag you under myself."
The ghost dove toward Danny and his father with murderous intent, and Danny, Ecto-gun still in hand, fired upon them, trying to slow them down or stop them before they reached the ghost hunters.
Mariner swerved and dodged. Now that they could see where the shots were coming from, they were a lot harder to hit, though Danny did still manage to get a couple more good hits in to the ghost's shoulder and spectral tail.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to stop them before they reached the ground. All he'd managed to do was piss them off, and now they were flying straight at Danny. Danny threw his hands up to defend, and braced for impact, but it never came.
He heard his dad shout, and opened his eyes just in time to see an orange blob slam into Mariner, grabbing the ghost with a pair of glowing Ghost Gloves.
It was a brawl. Dad was strong, but he could only touch the ghost with his ecto-charged gloves, which put him at a disadvantage. Still, he held on for a solid minute before Mariner grabbed him and pulled him into the water.
Danny ran to the edge of the pool, looking down, desperately hoping that maybe the foam in the water would be enough to weaken the ghost and make them let go. It wasn't. It had been diluted when it mixed with all the water. At worst, Mariner only felt a slight sting. Meanwhile, Dad was thrashing and struggling, and he couldn't breathe.
Danny had to help him, but how could he? The ray from his ecto-gun or wrist ray wasn't a fully formed ghost; it would become inert the second it hit the foam-infused water, and the Fenton Thermos would have a majorly reduced range. The plasma staff didn't have enough reach, and if Danny jumped in with it, he didn't think he would have enough control or momentum underwater. He only had one option left if he wanted to save his dad.
"I'm going ghost!"

Listening to old favorite songs and getting some inspiration to write again.
For the longest time ever and and still a bit now I've been into omegaverse. Found some of my favorite kinks from it. Im a little ashamed to admit. I always wanted to incorporate it into some of my own fics and have made a few but I have yet to publish any of them. Maybe I will after this one.
I also highly recommend listening to the song as you read my little drabble. You don't have to but it might help you see the headspace I went in while writing. I really wanted to explore a bit more of the feral side of wheeljack. What if you both tried to deny what you both wanted. That push and pull. It all began as one scene in my head and the song morphed it into the whole fic that you see.
This is part one since I accidentally made it too damn long of a two part story
As always Minors DNI! This is a 18+ rated fic with NSFW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
This fic does contain most omegaverse themes so if you're adverse to that this might not be for you.
Reader is AFAB if you're wondering.
Tumblr media
Heavy panting and heavy footfalls were the only things you could hear over your pounding spark.
Stuck again in the same dream that you get time to time. You were always running. You weren't quite sure why. Was it to something? Was it from something? Was it both? Only the pull in your chest urged you forward. Unsure if it was fear or inclination.
Just as you were about to stop and turn to see if something was behind you the rug was pulled from under you. Abruptly feeling the sensation of falling.
You awoke with a jolt. Clutching the bed underneath you confirming your stability. You were not falling nor needing to run. Everything's fine.
Sort of.
You only got that dream periodically. Right around every time your body goes through a particular change.
The limiters were off and all hell was about to break loose.
As familiar symptoms began to creep throughout your frame trepidation mixed with it.
You couldn't calm your rapid spark as your internal temp was faintly yet steadily rising. The damn dream was always a warning. A premonition of sorts.
"Please dont" You murmured to yourself. Though it was futile. You didn't know how to stop it once it was set in motion. Especially without outside help.
But who were you going to ask? With such sensitive information no less? Was there anyone you trusted enough to ask for help from? Let alone even know HOW to help you?
It was the early hours of morning before the world seemed to wake up. Dawn had yet to break over the horizon. It wasn't much time but just enough to either find help or put enough distance between yourself and a certain other.
You weakly swung your legs over the side of the bed. Becoming even more aware of your incoming heat. You even wondered if it was coming too fast.
Did shockwave have something to do with this?
The first couple of times this happened was back in shockwaves lab. Every time you started showing noticeable signs he would quickly administer some sort of drug and it would seem to vanish without a trace.
The first time it happened you were obviously concerned and immediately went to the scientist with complaints of your new alarming symptoms. The uncomfortable warmth paired with mental fog and a strange urge that burned through your body. The urge to go looking for someone so strong it overpowered everything else. You didn't know who or what but you felt like you had to find what your body needed so desperately. A feeling like you absolutely depended on it for survival.
The unconcerned tank mech only stared at you in response with his one glaring red optic when you approached him that day. Only to turn silently and cluncked to a place in the lab to began working on something. Not bothering to utter a single word to you. Not too long after he arrived with a needle loaded up what you guessed was more energon mixed with something else due to its ever so slight opaqueness.
You squirmed and questioned how he couldn't just make it into something you could drink.
"This is more effective. Injecting it directly into your bloodstream will nullify your heat immediately."
"Heat?" You asked him incredulously as he pushed the plunger carefully.
"Yes. It seems are you are beginning your first heat cycle. No matter, I have made a temporary cure for your cycle and you shall be back to normal operation in a moment."
You winced as the fluid entered your body. You hated the invasive cold feeling of liquid forcefully entering your veins. "Will it be gone permanently?"
"No. It will only prevent symptoms this cycle. Do not worry. Your systems are still functional. You just are no longer under the affects."
"Great to hear." You stated sarcastically as he moved away to go back to his current project. He was looking at a strand of CNA next to a strand of human DNA. Probably another part of your cyberformation project.
After that every heat you had; depending on how quickly your symptoms set in; he would either give you the injection or a ingestable variation. You hated the injections but you had to admit it was much nicer that relief was almost instant. The medicine would take much longer and sometimes waiting for the symptoms to dissappear was unbearable. You would not let yourself drop to degrading levels around the emotionless logic fueled scientist. You would rather die before it got to that point.
Now you sat up in the darkness of your room back at autobot headquarters. Without shockwave or any medication to get through this.
You wanted to ask ratchet for help but you didn't know if he had anything to help you or even knew how to make it. Given your circumstances it was probably only shockwave that knew.
Ratchet knew of your technorganic body but he was still learning of all its ins and outs. It was only fairly recently that you showed him shockwaves handiwork. You were patient as he would carefully examine you and run different tests to see the extent of the cyberformation. But you doubted if he knew anything about your current predicament.
You stiffly got up. There's no harm at trying.
You walked out in the dimness of the base and found the medic looking over some files.
"Hey ratchet." You quietly called out to him careful not to startle the poor older mech.
His helm quickly turned to you noticing your weary looking frame. "What are you doing up?"
You suddenly felt bashful. "I um." You squirmed under his worried gaze. "I'm getting my heat cycle. And I'm hoping you could help me."
The flush over his face made you realize you should've been more clear. "I do not think I would be the right mech for such a task. Why don't you ask w-" He began before you cut him off from saying his name.
"Nonono! That's not what I'm saying. Can you give me some medicine to alleviate the symptoms?!" You exclaimed while waving your arms frantically in front of you.
"You want me to make a medicine?" He queried.
"Yes. That's what I meant," You confirmed back.
Ratchet stood there in deep thought for a moment. Murmuring to himself before looking back up at you.
"I'd hate to ask but what would shockwave do when this would happen? Or is this the first time?"
You shook your head. "Shockwave had different remedies. Sometimes it was an injection. Sometimes it was a medicine that I would drink. It depended on how bad the symptoms were." You told him truthfully. Hopeful he would find something.
"What exactly are your symptoms?"
Your eyes darkened. What a unpleasant question.
While you spent your time here you noticed something you never would've back at the lab. Something you would only have realized once EXPOSED to it.
The mech that plagued you. That you were injected with their energon. Repeatedly. Invading your veins to begin the cyberforming process. Their biomatter mixed with yours. How your body called out to theirs as if they were a homing beacon. You were a moth and they were the flame.
You took a deep breath. Attempting to calm your fretful spark. Trying to figure out how to tell him. "I start to feel a bit feverish." You began and ratchet nodded at you in acknowledgement. Silently urging you to keep going. "I get mental fog. My body feels a bit weaker than usual," You continued. Watching as ratchet was listening intently to every word you said.
Ratchet gazed at you probingly as you stopped listing anything else. "Is that all? Are you sure you're not having any other symptoms than that? Because if that were the case it could be something else besides a heat cycle."
You scowled. "No" you grumbled. Feeling defeated at confessing this out loud.
You raised your head to look ratchet better in the optics. "I get the most desperate and embarrassing URGE for a certain autobot."
You watched his optics widen a bit. "Who is it?"
You bit your lip as you felt a sudden tug in your spark. "Who do you think?" You snapped defensively.
Ratchet nodded in understanding. "I'll see what I can do but I cannot guarantee that I will have anything ready by the time you fully get your heat. In that case what do you want me to do?" His voice was professional. Like any medical practitioner.
"Send me away." You quickly spoke with a sweep of your arm. "Just get me out of here before something happens! I don't care where. Hell, inject me with whatever concoction you come up with! Anything to stop this heat from happening! I'll even drink the nastiest medicine you make!"
Ratchet jolted back aghast. "Are you sure that's what you want? Do you not want to try anything else?"
You nodded solemnly, "What other choice do I have? I don't want to inflict my heat on anyone else."
"Has it affected anyone before?"
You wrinkled your nose in thought. "Not that I'm aware. It never really seemed to bother shockwave. But that mech is rather stoic so it's hard to tell. Maybe the vehicons if I'm further in my heat but I'm usually isolated from most others."
Ratchet turned to start typing on his console. "That could either be because either you don't produce pheromones to attract other bots or.." He trailed off as he typed. Then looking over at the exit of the hangar. "That you affect only ONE mech. Given your symptoms that you described."
You choked on your spit and deadpanned. Currently the said mech was out on a mission. But when they come back what will happen? Will he be unaffected or completely taken over and forced into rut? Was that something you wanted to take chances on? It was getting harder to tell as clouded thoughts started to flit through your mind. Maybe it would be interesting to see if he would react. But what then?...
"If you wish to stay somewhere else after they get back I'll be sure to move you before letting them return to base."
You nodded politely. "That would be preferable thank you."
With that ratchet extended a servo to which you climbed on as he took you to his medical work station.
You tried not to put up much of a fuss as he did various scans. Typing different things on his monitor.
"Will you be adverse to me taking an energon sample?" He asked gently.
You made a face. You hated injections and getting fluids drawn. "I'd prefer if you didnt." You grumbled honestly.
"Unfortunately it would be much harder to get an accurate suppressant made if I don't get all the information that is stored in your genetic makeup."
You grimaced. Aka he needed your blood. If he didn't have it it would be as useful as taking a shot in the dark. You really wanted to avoid needles as much as possible though.
Ratchet sensed your unease. Being shockwaves captive is no joke. He didn't want to think about what that mech put you through. "Don't worry. I'll apply the techniques that nurse Darby taught me in case I ever had to help with the kids."
He then activated his holoform and brought out a small kit for drawing blood. "I'll try to make this as painless as possible."
You tried to be still and not fight ratchet so much but you couldn't help but flinch away when he brought the needle close to your arm.
"Why don't I turn on the TV so you have something to distract yourself." He asked you gently while moving the needle away.
You tried to sit up straighter. "I don't know. I'm not used to having a distraction. I don't know if it will work."
"Here." Ratchet then removed his holoform and picked you up. Placing you on the couch and turned on the TV. Setting it to a low enough volume. "Do you want to talk about anything?"
You now we're settled next to ratchets holoform again as you faced the TV on the couch they had for the kids. Some early morning cartoons were playing that you remember seeing as a kid and felt a wave of nostalgia wash over you. A sense of familiarity as you stared at the screen.
"It's kinda hard to find anything to talk about anything right now." You gave a light chuckle. "The brain fog is slowly taking over." You confessed still focused on the TV.
"Is it bad?" He asked as he carefully pierced your skin with the needle and watched you wince.
You shook your head. "Not that bad yet. But I bet it's only going to get worse."
"Probably." Ratchet agreed as he continued focusing on drawing your energon mixed blood. "But I will do my best to prevent it."
"Thank you. I appreciate it."
"You're very welcome." He told you with a smile. "How are you feeling besides the heat? Any issues with the cyberforming?"
"None that I'm aware." You stated. Glancing over to look at him for a moment. Doing your best to not look down at what was happening with your arm.
"Well while I have a sample I'll be running some tests to make sure everything is doing alright. I'll probably have June look over at your panels as well."
"Sounds good" You told him. Noticing how he was already moving to stand up. "Done already?" You asked incredulously.
"Yep. Already got enough samples for testing. You're good to go."
Samples? As in plural? You looked down at your arm and saw a little bandaid, then to his hand where he held five vials of your mixed blood.
"No way!" You whispered in astonishment. Reaching out to hold one of the warm vials in your hand. "This is so trippy." You laughed as you lifted it up to examine it closer. Trying to use the light from the TV to see through the vial.
"Wasn't too bad was it?" Ratchet asked as you handed him back the vial.
"No you did good. But I wonder if me going into heat is particularly to blame. I think I'm starting to go mentally numb to my surroundings."
"I'm going to go start running the tests. You can sit here for now. Let me know if the symptoms get worse or if you need anything."
You nodded and watched as he left. You couldn't help but wonder why you didn't feel anything with anyone else. There was no pull. No longing. No lust. Nothing. Which you were thankful for. But you felt nervous how bad it would get with HIM in proximity while you were going into heat. His lingering scent was already making you feel the warmth between your legs.
"Maybe I will ask smokescreen to take me out somewhere to keep me out of the base." You mumbled to yourself. He was a good and trusted friend. With that thought and uncomfortable feeling coiled in your gut. Like the thought of being alone with someone else repulsed you. Which made no sense since you were fine being alone with ratchet. Maybe because the scenario is different?
You couldn't make heads or tails of it. It was getting harder to think deeply. So you just relaxed as you started to watch the next show that played. Numbing your mind to everything but the screen infront of you.
As you went through different episodes the more you felt the warmth radiating from your body. Did your spark always sound this loud? What were you doing again?
You moved to stand up but then remembered you were waiting on ratchet. How much longer till he would be done? How long do normal cybertronian heats last? How long does it usually take for symptoms to get bad?
You were about to call out to him to ask when you realized he had already been calling your name.
You blinked at him. "Um, yes?" You asked stupidly.
"They are requesting to return to base. Do you want to go somewhere real quick?"
Your mind lagged. Go?... Go where? Where will you go? Making a decision felt difficult.
Your mouth fell open but no words came to mind. "I dont....." you trailed off. You couldn't think. All you could think about was how uncomfortable you felt and how your clothes felt too warm. You wanted to cool off. A cold shower sounded nice right now.
"Shower" You told him.
Ratchet looked at you incredulously. "What?.. nevermind," Ratchet sighed shaking his helm. it seemed your heat was coming on faster than expected. It was only a matter of time before you would be incoherent. He needed to find somewhere for you to stay in the meantime. but housing a technorganic in heat would be no easy feat. Considering this would be your first time fully going into heat. Who knows how your body would handle it. He wanted to keep you close by to check on you. Since it was obvious you weren't producing any pheromones that affected him. He was your physician and he wanted to help in any way he could.
He quickly picked you up and activated the ground bridge. Rushing you out to the barracks to get washed up. Maybe a hygiene ritual will help cool your symptoms. Even if for a bit. At the very least it would dampen the intensity of your pheromones for short amount of time.
He set you down. "Let me know if you need anything else. I will have Fowler be helping you." And with that he swiftly dissapeared back to the hangar.
You blinked as you just staired at the direction he went. Your mind trying to keep up. What just happened?
You shook your head and slapped your cheeks. Trying to regain your senses.
Shower. You were here to shower.
You went inside and found a stall. Pulling the curtain you stripped your clothes and hung them on the divider wall. Maybe a shower will help. You could only wish silently to yourself as you turned the knob.
Back at base ratchet arrived as everyone was stepping through the bridge. First Magnus strutted in. Looking completely unaffected followed by smokescreen who also seemed completely unaware of any potential pheromones in the air. Leaving ratchet to muse that maybe his hypothesis was right.
It was when wheeljack walked through he staggered. Seeming to be completely thrown off the moment he entered the base. With bulkhead looking over at him concerned.
"Whoa Jackie. You alright?"
The white wrecker blinked in a daze before coming to his senses. "Yeah. I'm alright."
Ratchet could only hum in thought. So he WAS right. You could only affect wheeljack. So all he had to do was keep you both separated. Since that seemed to be your wish.
Wheeljack spotted the medic seeming to be in deep though and walked over. "Whatcha working on?" He couldn't help but notice the closer he got the stronger the smell. Was it ratchet? He had to wonder and find out for himself.
"I'm just going over (name)'s charts."
He looked at the screen to see a strand of CNA mixed with DNA along with another strand of CNA next to it. "Is something wrong?" He couldn't hide the worry in his voice.
"No nothings wrong per se. Just looking over some things for her since she asked." Ratchet stated while typing on the screen before turning to the wrecker. "Why? Is something the matter?"
Wheeljack looked caught off guard again. "Nah its just..." He paused for a brief moment. Thinking of what to say. "It's nothing. Just wondering." He then looked around. "Is (name) around?"
"She just went out. She will be back later." He stated and turned back to his work. The faster he can make the suppressant the faster your symptoms will dissappear. As well as your pheromones.
Ratchet didn't even realize wheeljack was halfway out the door before he frantically called back to him. "And where do you think you're going?!"
"Just out for a moment. I'll be back." He stated without turning around. Causing poor ratchet to bristle over his flippant retort.
"I need you to stay here for the time being. The others may require backup." Ratchet snipped
"Awe c'mon doc. I just got here. Don't tell me you're going to send me out again." He complained loudly. He was desperate to see if you were the source of those enticing pheromones.
"I just might now get back here!" The medic snapped at the white mech. "And stop calling me doc!"
You were standing there just letting the water drum over you. The coolness seeping into your skin. The running water helped with the uncomfortable warmth you felt but it didn't help the thick fog your mind was swimming through or the absolute urge to go looking for the mech that your body was calling out for.
You rested your head against the cool tiles of the stall. You wanted these symptoms to go away. If only you were back at shockwaves lab. He would administer the shot without a second thought. You should've grabbed some medicine before you escaped. You figured if the scientist felt emotions he would be laughing at your predicament right now. Or maybe. This is exactly what he wanted. But why?
Subconsciously your hand had found itself between your legs. Fingers sliding inside the place that ached as your mind wondered to your wrecker. Your fingers didn't offer much but the thoughts of it being him helped. A stifled moan caught in your throat when you heard a sound outside and decided you were in there long enough. It not like you weren't in the desert right now or anything and that water was not usually something of abundance. Nor should you be entertaining such dangerous ideas.
You lamented on how the coolness quickly left your body and struggled to dry off and redress.
You left the showers to find Fowler waiting for you. "Ratchet informed me you weren't feeling right and had me look over you for the time being. Is there anything you need?"
"Something cool. Or maybe a nap." Or maybe a third that shall not be mentioned.
"Would you like me or one of the bots to take you into town to get some ice cream then?
Your eyes lit up for a second as a certain wrecker crossed your mind before you quickly dismissed that thought.
"I'm not sure." You told him truthfully.
You didn't know what you wanted. Nothing sounded appealing to you. All except for the carnal urge to find the white lancia and make him yours. To sink your teeth into him. Intertwine your body with his. To feel his spark beat against yours. But such an intimately deep and primal urge scared you. You were scared of the unknowns. You were still intigrating yourself into team prime. Slowly becoming comfortable with everyone around you. Being thrust into a situation like this was alarming.
"I'll just hang out in a different hanger and try to get some rest." You told him. All in all you didn't feel like being around anyone. Well all except one mech. But you weren't ready for that. You were starting to remember him better. Rekindle your close friendship. Such a commitment was not something to take lightly. You would do your best not to give in.
You ended up at an adjacent hangar and the others were polite enough to lend you an office to crash in. They even were kind enough to lend you a pillow. Once you seemed settled in enough on the small couch Fowler left to go back to his own office.
"If you need anything just give me a call." Fowler told you before leaving.
You hummed in acknowledgement and watched him dissappear from the doorway. Closing the door behind himself. Leaving you by yourself with your thoughts all over again.
You wanted to rest. Even with the malaise wearing down your body you wouldn't be able to relax. Not with the desire to seek out relief plaguing your hazed mind. Picking and nagging at you. But you wouldn't be caught dead pleasuring yourself in public like this.
You laid there for what felt like hours. Trying menial mental tests to keep you sane. You feared the moment you slipped up you would lose control. But as time ticked by your mental awareness shrank to next to nothing. Even your short term memory started to fail. It was getting to the point you would get up to leave. Only to stop yourself when you remembered just WHY you placed yourself into quarantine to begin with. Then found yourself pacing as you battled your own body. It felt like chains were constricting your body. Hot, heavy, and extremely uncomfortable. All with that mech on the other end tugging at you to come closer.
You didn't want to be caged up any longer. You've had enough of that back with the decepticons. The air was too stuffy. It was getting harder to breathe. You were sure soon the walls were going to start closing in on you.
You walked out to notice that the hangar was vacant. All military personnel had already left for the most part. How long were you in that office? Was it already night? There's no way. You stepped out and felt unease wash over you. It was uncomfortably quiet. You had gotten used to the hustle and bustle of hangar E. How there was at least one living being in the hangar at all times.
You left the hangar quickly. Not wanting to stay there much longer. The silence was suffocating.
What you weren't expecting was finding yourself wandering mindlessly over to the outside of hangar E. It was dark outside but like usual inside the hangar it was relatively lit. You wanted that familiarity. Something about it was calling you. Or maybe it was your instincts. It was getting harder to tell. You didn't even know what you were doing or why you were even there in the first place. Your self controll must really be slipping now.
You shook your head. You wanted to ask ratchet but thought better than to just waltz right in. You needed to go back before making a mistake. Turning to trudge back to the hangar you found yourself unable to take a single step. You would go back; Only that you had to conveniently forget which one you had actually stayed in.
Fuck.
You wanted to cry in frustration. What were you even doing? Where were you? Why were you still so freaking warm. And where was ratchet with your suppressant. "Just hurry up with the damn suppressant already!" You cried out to no one in particular. Well no one in earshot. At least that's what you thought.
The scent. Oh Primus the scent that started filtering into your nose. It made you feel weaker. it made the heat of desire burn hotter, stronger, heavier. A vice tightening with every vent. Like a starved animal. It clouded everything out of your mind. You turned around and was met with the sight of wheeljack standing just outside hangar E.
Just as you opened your mouth to say something you clamped your hand around it. No! Don't draw him closer. If you do you will lose the very shred of self control you had left.
He spotted you and began to make his way to you.
At first you stumbled towards him. Drunk off of his scent. It coaxing you sweetly while pulling you in. Calling to you. Beconing. Only for you to regain your senses enough to run.
And run you did.
To be continued...

What are your favorite things about fire rain? Also I’m devouring your fire rain design I love it so much it’s so pretty and creative I love it and ily 💚💚
Fire ghoul rain timeline headcanons I think because it just means I can develop his backstory?
CW: ghoul backstory shenanigans, general angst I stuff, murder/violence/self-hate vocab may be present, not aiming for triggering but I want everyone to be able to feel safe reading it so just watch out! Happy ending tho :3
Fire ghoul Rain would be violent and agile, I think.
When rain gets summoned as water ghoul he and dew get along easily, dew would be supposed to pass down his position to him, they are both aware of their situation and dew pleads to rain to let him bite the bullet.
"I'm older, I've been here longer, I can take it-" cries dew.
"if I don't turn into fire myself they'll burn me to ashes, lilypad"
"there has to be a way.. Rain, fuck!... please??" Cries dew again...
Rain would betray dew I think, put him to bed, swear nothing will happen ever, that they'll never separate them, or hurt them, until dew hears the screams in the middle of the night. The heat emanating from the stone and wood feels dry and hot... almost debilitating, but still everyone makes it down to him, and there in the middle the still small, long frame of the once water ghoul, writhing in pain, his fins and gills actively burning out, suturing at the core, engraving the scars into his skin. He cries and screams. There is a blue glow surrounding him, and then an orange red hue, which at this hour, the ghouls cannot tell if it's coming from the early rising sun, or from the hellfire itself, burning inside their packmate.
The recovery period is spent with dew... who refuses to let go of his mate, as much as rain pushes him away at times and struggles to communicate with the little water ghoul.
And Dew is angry. Rising like a riptide, he flicks his hair and gives him the pout™ and rain feels the guilt consume inside him. Dew rants away, condescendingly, disapproving. It's the only way he knows to show his worry.. his own guilt... the disappointment. And rain takes it because he knows deep down he deserves every minute of it. It was a calculated risk and he took it on purpose, and he forgives and forgets, and he holds dew right in his arms placing his forehead just behind dewdrop's jawline... and for a minute, he cannot stop the tears.
And Dew sees him... understands him. just like dew will forever be his lilypad, rain, will always be his rain. Dew is that last bit of water he can cling onto in a desert of fire and pain.
At first the powers are terrible... he burns himself constantly, he lives on the infirmary for the most part, between aether, mountain and dew, making sure his skin doesn't fall off. Ifrit tries to help... teaching him, guiding him and it sometimes works... then there's alpha... alpha who will not take his eyes off dewdrop, who will not shut his mouth about the pretty little water thing he is... and it boils everyone's blood, and rain knows the way mist scolds alpha for running his mouth, the way he tires every time she steps in front of him to stop his bullshit, and he knows... as a water Ghoul he could only do so much as mist did. But as a fire ghoul?
As a fire ghoul alpha would also make stupid condescending comments about his lack of control, his weakness, the way his body rejected itself... it's elements... how pathetic it was of him to not even naturally have fire. As a fire ghoul, Rain could prove alpha wrong, as a fire ghoul rain could step in and let alpha pick on someone his own element... and thought smaller in size... stronger in fire.
Rain is violent, and quick. Anyone who dares look at Dew in the wrong way gets a hiss directly to the face from Rain. The quick protective motion, bait and switch. Pushing the smaller ghoul behind him, lighting himself up like a wall of flame between the danger and its target. And it burns, just the cold dead stare of the turned fire ghoul through the hissing. The threat is not that rain will attack, he is small and lanky still. The real threat is that he cannot hurt anymore than his body already hurts itself the fire burns so hot that even rain cannot feel it... that he no longer has warmth to lose with death, he does not fear. And he is willing to put everything on the line for dew, so a hiss is usually all it takes for any ghoul to know their place near dew and with rain.
He is ruthless and cold, despite his element.
And still every day, hour, minute, and second is a struggle. His body hates itself, his mind fights him, his past haunts him, his future quivers before him. And his pack all has thoughts and feelings they'll never end or speak up. And it will always be uncertain how things would've gone for him if they had found other ways, other outs... but why dwell in the past, when the only certainty is that his one promise to dew, that they'll never be apart again, remains kept.
Have mercy I proofread once and it's 4 am as I'm writing this... on the queue we go...

CRuSH - Chapter 8
He wakes slowly to the feeling of phantom fingers exploring the dips of his spine. Sirius twitches under the sensation, his face scrunching in response, body fighting to stay in the realm of sleep even as his brain rallies and becomes alert. There's a sudden shift beside him, the feeling slipping away, and Sirius frowns as he tries to puzzle it out without opening his eyes.
Cracking open against his will, Sirius squints through the bright, early morning light from where he's lying on his side, finding the bleary form of James resting beside him on his back. His friend is staring pointedly at the ceiling, hand fluttering above his abdomen in a restless way. The fact that James is still here at all confuses Sirius, the other man not in the habit of sticking around after sex anymore, and when he does, he typically wakes before Sirius and isn't in the bed once Sirius rouses.
"It's about time," says James gruffly, eyes flickering in Sirius' direction briefly before darting away again, like he's scared to look at him for too long. "I've been waiting forever."
"Bully for you," mutters Sirius, voice still heavy with sleep. "You do know you could have got up on your own, right?"
James shrugs one shoulder, his skin grazing Sirius' chest. "Too lazy," he says dismissively, still staring at the ceiling, a strange energy around him.
It's an odd thing, the way he's acting, as though he's trying to pretend this is a normal day and he's just as normal. And Sirius wouldn't question it if it weren't for the focus of James' hazel eyes fixed on everything but Sirius himself. He'd think nothing of his behavior if James wasn't calling attention to the fact that he's here, still in Sirius' bed but not looking at him and purposefully not touching him.
His actions wouldn't be weird at all if Sirius couldn't still feel those phantom touches tickling down his spine which prickle at his mind in a curious way as he watches his friend beside him, so resolute in his determination to pretend he'd never done it to begin with.
"Yeah, well," mumbles Sirius, feeling something defensive rise inside him against it all, walls building into place he can't control, "be a lazy sod and a lie-about if you want, but I'm gonna – "
James' hand flies out, grasping around Sirius' forearm as he begins to roll out of the bed, cutting into his words and ceasing them in Sirius' throat. When he turns his head, James is staring at him now, eyes wider than before, the tightness to his features having retreated.
"Wait," says James in a rush, his fingers gripping harder for a moment before relaxing when Sirius' muscles twitch, like he's only realized what he's doing. James fumbles for a second, starting to pull away and then freezing, palm still resting over Sirius' skin. "You don't – you shouldn't rush," he protests weakly, clearly grappling for an argument, for an excuse to explain away his sudden reaction. He shuffles in the bed a bit, hand finally withdrawing, leaving Sirius' previously heated flesh to go cold, but James flops roughly onto his side, facing Sirius, pinning him with his gaze. "C'mon, you've got a later shift today. Lounge for a while. Where's the harm?"

First Story Part 2
I think at this point it's important that clothing is mentioned. It's hard for me to do anything special for you, but you've mentioned to me that you like me simple. T-shirt and pants, though a button up shirt seems to drive you wild. You go all out for me, though. More than once you've used my weakness for ballet-core to get me going, wearing a leotard, modesty skirt, and a pair of leather ballet flats that you sewed ribbons into and wrapped up around your legs. Amazing.
This session, however, you went with easy to access. A black, latex body suit with a zipper in the front. To satisfy my love of ballet-core, you were also wearing black, leather, slip-on jazz shoes. Outstanding.
You lay on the bed, having just "arrested", and I get to work. I start counting off the compressions, pressing your chest just hard enough to cave your chest, but not hard enough to do lasting damage. I pinch your nose and go in for two rescue breaths. Each one goes in with ease, and I lean down and whisper in your ear, "Come back to me, babe...". You visibly get chills.
I do several rounds of CPR on you, and I decide it's time for the big guns. I pull out the EKG, unzip your bodysuit, and pull it open. It takes me a few moments of fumbling to get the electrodes on your chest. They aren't easy to unpeel, and I salute any paramedic who has mastered the art of sticking these to people's bodies. You're certainly better than I am.
The EKG springs to life, showing you in a normal rhythm, because you are, but the machine still brings immersion. We decided early on to go for something smaller and cheaper, it only shows heartbeat and respirations, but that's all we need it for.
I pull a bag up from under the bed and unzip it, pulling out an ambubag. Ours has an opaque, blue bulb, and a clear mask. We used it on each other to test it out when we first got it, and it was a rush. I think you got excited immediately after the first breath, and we didn't even have it attached to an actual oxygen tank. I hear real oxygen is exhilarating, but I've never tried it. You tried it once at an oxygen bar before we met and told me of the experience. It's something I have to try someday.
I put the mask over your face and squeeze the bulb. You take the breath in easily, your chest rising and falling with the breath. I squeeze again, and you take the breath. I whisper in your ear, "Breathe for me, please..."
I do another round of compressions, and I can feel you and myself getting more and more excited. I decide that you're in v-fib. I look down at you, "Are you ready?". You nod and give a slight moan.
I said earlier that we decided against getting a real defibrillator. That doesn't mean we didn't make provisions of our own. It took on a few household items to create a pair of paddles. They weren't perfect, but they had handles and pieces of metal to feel like the real thing. We'd provide our own "electricity".
I press the paddles to your bare skin, one on your chest, the other just below your left breast. "Clear!" I say, and your body leaps up. "One more", you mouth to me, and I press the paddles to your body. "Clear!"
Your body leaps again and you take the biggest gasp of air I've heard you take. Long, raspy, relieved. I put the ambubag over your face and give you several breaths. Then I ditch the ambubag and go mouth to mouth with you. Soon, mouth to mouth becomes a kiss. Several kisses. Passionate kisses. I straddle your body and we make sweet love.
After the love making is done, we cuddle. An important part of foreplay, role play, and sex, in my opinion, is care. After care, before care, consent. It all plays a role in making your sessions enjoyable. I cuddle close to you and kiss your neck. You giggle, and kiss me on the cheek. We talk for a bit, then we lay silently, listening to each others breathing.

Dreamer Held Captive
Morpheus “the sandman” / Reader(female but can be read as gender neutral)
Summary: Being held captive for all your life, without freedom, without dreams. When you are able to dream one night by chance you meet a mysterious being who holds your freedom within his grasp.
Warnings: mentions of throwing up
Word count: 2,628 words
Tumblr media
The rain pelted against the window, the dreary weather matching my current mood. Curled up in my bed using one of my many books to escape my poor reality. 
Long ago I had wished to leave and explore the world outside of the confines of my home, but that had been quickly snuffed out by my parents. They had told me that a dangerous demon was waiting for me to step outside of the protection of my home, ready to take my soul into hell. I believed them so fully when I was younger but now I questioned them, ‘Why was the demon only after me?’ ‘What had I done to deserve this?’. But every single time I asked, I got told off, told that I didn't need to know such things and that I should only worry for my safety. And the times in which I had tried to rebel against their orders I was shoved into my room, locked in, and told to think of what I had done wrong and told to understand that they were just trying to protect me.
Now nearing my 20th birthday, I am tired of being kept in a cage. This place was once a place of comfort but now it only brings me loneliness and a longing to be free. To add onto my misfortunes, I've never once had a dream. I have read books that described dreams as wonderful places that your mind goes to when you are asleep, though not all of them are good but even so this was something I've never once experienced. Early on I had craved it but now I had accepted that it would never happen, maybe it had something to do with this house and the demon that is after my soul but I would probably never find out. 
The sunlight that was hidden behind the clouds was starting to dim, darling the sky. Glancing up at my clock, it was nearing 8:00p.m. Usually around this time I would be having dinner but my parents had told me they would be out late running errands, this was after I had tried to ask them once again one of my many questions with which I was swifty shoved into my room and locked in. And now sleepiness and hunger gnaw at my body, the former winning. Giving into that feeling of weightlessness, I await the comforting darkness that I had been greeted with for nearly 20 years.
A warm light brushed against my skin, gently coaxing me to wake up, opening my eyes, my breath escapes me.
The sky is clear save for a few clouds, rolling hills filled with wildflowers and grass that seemed to be waving back at me, quickly rising to my feet taking a quick glance at myself. I was still clothed in my baggy sweatshirt with my pajama shorts, raising my head again. I took in everything.
A stream was flowing just before me, walking towards it I now see the beautifully colored fish  swimming with its currents. Trees are sporadically placed throughout this meadow, inhaling the enchanting scent, somewhere in the back of my mind I had begun to realize that I was dreaming.
An emotion I hadn't felt in so long began to bubble up inside of me, a smile stretched across my face and then I was running. A laugh had burst out of  my chest, the breeze seeming to encourage me to run faster pushing me forward. My hair whipped behind me, the sun keeping me warm as the grass gently caressed my feet. I couldn't put words to how I was feeling but I hope that this is what freedom felt like.
Running over a hill, reaching the top my eyes latch onto a magnificent castle, with new found vigor I continue my running pace, never once running out of breath. Slowing down as I get closer to the castle I take a moment to admire just how intricate the design of it was, but my thoughts are halted at a new presence. Quickly turning towards it, I see him.
He was ethereal looking, hair black as night, a messy crown atop his head, his eyes a piercing blue. And there he stood, regal with a long billowing obsidian colored coat that when the wind hit it just right you could almost see stars within it. He was much taller than me, having to slightly raise my head to fully take him in.
 “You're here.” His voice was something so irresistible and his tone was not harsh, it seemed as if he was shocked that I was here. “Hello,” my mouth worked faster than my mind. I greeted him with a gentle smile.
 His eyes roamed over me taking all of me in, my cheeks warmed, I felt a bit underdressed compared to him. “How can this be? I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
He’s been looking for me? My mind begins to race, is he the demon my parents had told me about or is this just something my mind has conjured up for myself. My mouth spilled out the words quickly, “Are you the demon after my soul?” The moment those words left my lips I regretted them, they seemed wrong. I had never met this man in my life and even if he wasn’t real it felt wrong to accuse him of all people of being a demon. His eyebrows shot up, he took a step forward closer to me. “Is that what they have told you I am? I am not a demon nor do I desire for your soul in such a way.” 
“How are you here now?”
“I don’t know…I just went to sleep and I ended up here.”  confusion contorts his face, he doesn’t say anything like his prompting me to try and elaborate the events before i got here. Taking a breath that had seemed to be trapped inside my chest I explained.
“Well I was locked in my room, and I was trying to stay awake so that when my parents got home I could eat. But I got tired and fell asleep… and now I'm here in my first dream talking to you.” The more I continued to talk the stranger this situation became, I had remembered reading stories about how dreams could be confusing or even terrifying but this had blown my expectation away. 
Yet my thoughts were interrupted by the look that came across His gorgeous face.
 His eyes held  a level of realization like he just solved the world's most difficult puzzle. “So that’s how they did it, they blocked your conscience from reaching the dreaming… from reaching me.” He seemed angry, no, enraged at this discovery but none of it was aimed towards me, then a moment later the world had started to become blurry.
“No! Where are you so that I can find you!” desperation so evident in his tone, he closed the distance between us in a heartbeat grabbing onto me in such distress. My body being consumed by his own emotions, I became frantic and hastily replied. “I'm in my house, that's all I know, I've never left my home nor do I know where I am exactly. I’m sorry”. Words quickly falling out of my mouth holding nothing but sincerity. Because I truly did feel upset that I couldn't tell him more, I felt like I was disappointing him and that I was losing a chance at something so important.
His face had started to blur along with the world around us, but I recognized his hand trying to reach inside of me. It felt as if he was trying to pull on a string attached to me, I couldn't tell whether he was trying to pull me towards him or trying to pull himself towards me. But it seemed to be in vain as I had awakened back in my bedroom.
My mother was shaking me awake with such ferocity. “Why did you fall asleep without eating!” having just been woken up and angered at the fact that I had just had my very first dream and it was interrupted so quickly. I snapped “I was locked in my room, how was I supposed to eat!” I pushed her hands off of me standing up out of my bed facing my mother straight on. In a flash my father stood between us, pushing me away from my mother, both of them sharing the same look upon their faces. “Do you understand how you could’ve gotten us killed!” my fathers voice booms around us, a whirlwind of anger and fear swirls within my gut. Part of me wants to lash out, the other part just wants to run away from here, never looking back.
After the ‘incident’ as I’ve now begun to call it, my parents have done nothing but breath down my neck. Making sure that I ate my food, continuously checking the windows and the doors around the house and to add on they haven’t been leaving the house as often as before. Part of me wants to believe they are just being like this to punish me but in the back of my mind is telling me otherwise. 
Watching them had become my newest pastime, I knew they were acting more weirdly than before. A feeling in my gut told me that they were truly doing something to me so that I couldn't dream. I didn’t want to admit it but the stranger in my dream had made me even more skeptical and weary of my parents now more than ever. And even if he wasn’t real and just something I had conjured up, my mind had created him for a reason, maybe to finally voice what I had known subconsciously. Either way I had now begun to suspect that it had to do with my food, they had stressed throughout my life how important it was to always eat my meals. And it seemed to make sense, because all of my meals had been cooked by them and if they had ever stuck something in the food I would not have been able to tell.
So I was going to do an experiment tonight, I wasn't going to eat my dinner and to see if not eating the food would make me dream or not. But this experiment wasn’t just about being able to dream, it was more so to see if my parents had been manipulating me. To test if they had or have been lying to me, and if they had then they could’ve been lying about this said ‘demon’ after my soul. And if my experiment proves this, then I have to leave this place as soon as possible.
Now I just had to figure out how to do my experiment without my parents noticing. The first thing that came to my mind was to eat my dinner then to throw it back up, that was quickly shot down. The only method I could think of was to just ‘fake eat’ and to just spit it out when I got the chance. And with no other options that I could think of, that's what I did. When dinner came around I would periodically get up to go to the bathroom, or just get up to go to the kitchen to grab something then with a moment away from my parents I would spit out the food into the trash or down the toilet. And though it felt like the minutes were moving at the pace of molasses, dinner was finally over with and I had ‘eaten’ enough food deemed reasonable, and I was sent off to my bedroom to go to bed.
With added nervousness of wondering if my experiment had worked, and the gnaw of hunger in my belly it had taken me longer than I had wanted to fall asleep.
I was right next to the castle when I awoke within my dream, and just as I had risen from laying down the ethereal stranger had appeared next to me. “You made it back,” his voice held so much happiness I couldn’t help but smile back at him. Then my smile falls at the realization of what my results of my little experiment meant. My parents had been feeding me something to block me from dreaming, opening up the possibilities of what else that could’ve been doing to me.
 “My parents have been keeping me from dreaming with my food, there's something in it that keeps me from coming here.” my thoughts tumble out of my mouth, my face going slack at this realization. anger mars his beautiful face, he steps closer to me. Close enough to where I can smell his scent, it's comforting, it reminds me of the smell of vanilla and books. With a pale hand extended towards me looking down into my eyes, “I am going to try to pull myself into the waking world, to where you are at now.” there's a hesitant pause, “Will you let me?”
“Let you come to me? Yes… but this isn’t real, you're just a dream, something that my mind created.” a charming smirk appears upon his face. “Do you wish to find out if I am real? Real enough to free you from an unjust imprisonment?” My heart tugs at the hope of freedom, letting out a shaky breath, I reach my hand forward latching onto his, it's warm and his hold is unwavering. A tugging sensation washes over my body, similar to last time. Just as I feel his presence tug around me, his soul reaches into mine. I jolt awake in my bed gasping for breath. 
And there he is, standing at the end of my bed, tall and magnificent in all of his glory. My mind is sent reeling and then the tears start to flow down my cheeks. “You're real, you're real!” springing out of the bed, into his open arms I feel a blanket of warmth engulf me. “I have you.” His voice reassuring, sobs escape my chest. I could now see a horizon in which I am free. I didn’t even care if this stranger was lying about not being a demon, I could finally see a future in which I am away from this prison. “Let me take you away from here, so that I can explain everything.” 
I am saying ‘yes’ the moment those words leave his lips, in a flurry of sand we are taken away.
We end up, what appears to be, inside of the castle I had been seeing in my dreams. We are in a magnificent foyer, dark wood flooring with a few couches and chairs scattered around a massive fireplace with a coffee table sat in the center between the couches and the fire. Bookshelves filled to the brim with a wide variety of novels. The stranger leads me towards a couch. Sitting down I sink into the cozy cushions, then He sits down next to me, facing me straight on. Raising my head to meet his gaze, his eyes hold a level of resolve that has me straightening my back. “This may be a long story, but it's all needed for you to understand what has happened.” his voice has a level of warning in, making sure that i’m prepared for what's to come.
But I have one thing I want to know before He begins, “What's your name?” I'm a little shocked with myself for not asking him earlier but at the time it hadn't been a top priority. A soft smile greets me as he introduces himself. “I am Morpheus, Dream of the Endless.”

Enjoy the beginning of the werewolf!Luca fic:
Luca wakes up in his backyard.
There’s dirt in his mouth, and he’s covered in mud and gravel, and his pants are shredded all along one leg for some reason.
He pushes up on his hands and knees, shakes his head clear before he tries to stand; his leg buckles, the phantom ache of an old injury cramping his thigh, and as he hauls himself to his feet, using the pine tree as leverage, he tries to remember what happened and how he ended up in his backyard in the middle of the night.
After a few minutes, Luca pushes away from the tree and manages to stay on his feet even through another stab of pain; a couple more steps, and it fades, until it’s gone like he imagined the whole thing.
He tries the backdoor, sighing in relief when it’s open, and he doesn’t need to somehow figure out how he’s going to wake up Adam to let him in; he lets himself in, thankful their parents are away for the weekend, an early anniversary present from their grandparents, and strips as soon as the door is closed behind him, stuffing it all into the garbage can.
Luca stares at his bare feet for a long minute, bewildered that he lost his shoes somewhere, before he heads upstairs to take a shower, walking as quickly as he thinks he can without making too much noise.
He puts the water on as hot as he can stand, searching his brain for what the fuck happened while the water pounds down on him, washing away all the dirt and whatever else he’s covered in and helping his body relax a little bit.
He turns off the shower, dries off and grabs the first pair of shorts he sees on top of the hamper, putting them on when they pass the sniff test.
Luca walks down the short hallway to his and Adam’s bedroom, pausing outside his brother’s room; he should go lay down and get some sleep, so he can try to find his phone in the morning–along with his shoes and whatever else turns up missing–but it feels like a compulsion almost when he opens Adam’s door and crosses the floor to his bed.
He’s out like a light, his steady breathing not faltering even while Luca stares down at him for what feels like almost an hour, strangely captivated by the simple rise and fall of Adam’s chest.
Luca swallows roughly, unsure why he’s still standing here, but unable to make himself back away and go to his own room; after another minute, he crosses the foot or two to the bed and nudges Adam over so he can climb in next to him.
“What,” Adam mutters, waking up some even as he slides over to make room for his brother. “Luca? Is everything alright?”
“Yeah,” Luca tells him, even though he has no idea why he’s doing this, just that he needs to. “I had a bad dream, can I crash in here?”
“’Course,” Adam tells him, tugging Luca closer, so he can sling a friendly arm over his waist; he’s already mostly asleep again, completely at ease with having Luca this close. “Breakfast?”
“Sure, we’ll get hash browns,” Luca assures him, already feeling better with Adam’s warm weight curled up next to him.
He yawns then, finally relaxing enough to sleep.
