FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda Under the Cut:
Ponyo:
determined 5yo girls are more powerful than god
PONYO!!!!
As a child i did not even realize this was a little merm adaptation, but it really reads. She is sooo strange and other worldly and the movie absolutely captures that dreamlike fairy tale vibe
Ponyo a roughly five-year-old magical goldfish who can transform into a frog-type thing and a human girl. She's the eldest daughter of the literal goddess of the sea and a former human sailor given immortality. She falls in love with the five-year-old boy who cares for her and is thrilled to explore his ordinary yet magical world. She's bouncy, exuberant, and joyful. She loves ham. She doesn't have to give up her voice.
ponyo ponyo ponyo little fishie in the sea!
Little fishy
THEY LOVE HAM
Bug:
Their a bug that falls in love with a human they rescue and becomes human, but even when they don't get to keep their human body, they still get to be with their love. It's a sci-fi fairytale musical.
Little Mermaid meets Starship Troopers musical starring awesome puppets and the most trans coded main character ever. Please. Please vote Bug Starship I love him. Go watch Kick it Up a Notch from Starship. Go watch Status Quo from Starship. You will understand.
He's a bug and he lives in space on a bug planet but he really wants to be a starship ranger which you can only be if you are a human and then one day a spaceship lands on his planet and so he goes to an evil bug called Pincer who then helps him become a human. And Bug falls in love with a human on the spaceship and it's very sweet. The musical and storyline are based on the little mermaid story, the creators themselves called it "the little mermaid but in space". Bug wanting to be a human/a starship ranger and achieving that and falling in love with a human is very much like the little mermaid
Starship is a musical that can only be described as The Little Mermaid meets Starship Troopers. It follows Bug, an alien bug who dreams of being a Starship Ranger, a galactic explorer/soldier, but the rigid confines of bug society keeps him trapped in a job he hates. He reaches a Starship Ranger named February from the hive and immediately falls in love with her. In order to be with her and pursue his dream, he makes a deal with a giant scorpion named Pincer who through sci-fi bs gives him a human body. Near the end of the second act he sacrifices his human body and returns to his bug body, and saves the day and wins February's heart. It's truly the ultimate Little Mermaid. He has multiple songs, and his bug body is portrayed by a puppet!! Vote for Bug!!
“It's a big, big, universe So many dimensions And unanswered questions Not to mention Life What an invention Life There's no choice involved in what you are given One mind, one voice, one body to live in It's a short, small thing we lead With so much potential Pointless or essential Which one can I be? Where do I fit? Where do I stand? Who are they to say what I am? And how can I stay inside this awful world I know? I need a way out I need an escape I'd rather be dead than to live in this place I wish that something or someone could just take it all away Someone take me away” dear god….. can anybody hear me…. (song from starship)
They are the purest little mermaid adaptation done in the most unuque way. An alien insect gets turned into a human, a race he has always loved and admired, to be with the woman he fell in love with. Also just a great musical.
Bug's whole arc is so so in tune with that of the little mermaid. He is an alien who has fallen in love with humanity through a crashed spaceship and trades his place in the hive for a chance to be with both with the human he's falling for and to be a Starship Ranger. He body swaps with human in a cryogenic pod! It's literally sci-fi Little Mermaid!
Don't stick to the status quo and pick the fairy tale!! it's what HE would want!!!

on the subject of museums though: I'm a FIRM believer that the smithsonians are genuinely some the greatest cultural heritage americans possess and I believe SO fervently in them being free to the public and accessible to all because they ARE our nation's history and tell (and ideally deconstruct) our national myths and help contextualize the natural world around us and show us the heights of human ingenuity and art. also my favorite of all of them is the national museum of the american indian and I personally think if you can only go to one smithsonian museum it should be that one

Pairing: Gojo Satoru x GN! reader
Word count: 836
Warnings: not rly proofread, implied wet dreams, implied sexual intercourse, y'all are so in love
A/N: just a lil something before Gamer! Choso.
Tumblr media
In the quiet solitude of a dimly lit room, a lone soul found himself entangled in a web of unspoken desires. He had kept his secret for the longest time, a passionate longing that had been buried deep within his heart.
He dared not to speak of it, even to himself. It was an unspoken passion that simmered beneath the surface, a forbidden desire that had grown stronger with each passing day. His life had taken him on a different path from yours, but the pull he felt remained undeniable.
Your connection had always been magnetic. He often found himself lost in the memories of your stolen moments. In the quiet hours before dawn, when the world was wrapped in shadows, he would close his eyes and let his mind wander. Sleep would always overtake him, but he vividly remembered the countless mornings he would wake up, tangled in his sheets, your name on the tip of his tongue. In his dreams he could be fearless, shameless, exploring every facet of every desire he harbored for you. The emotions that swirled within him were laid bare, naked and unashamed- much like you in his dreams -and he longed to experience that vulnerability in reality.
You, too, had your moments of weakness. Mornings were the hardest for you, waking up to an empty space beside you, to a world that felt incomplete without his presence. In your own dreams, you were unafraid to admit how much you needed him. The warmth of his body, the taste of his lips- of him. They were all etched to your memory. You would do anything to feel his touch you craved so much once more, to relive those moments when your hearts beat in perfect synchrony and the feeling of completeness that only he could provide.
Distance had separated you, not just in miles, but in the confines of your own fears. You both craved each other, your desires as real as the air you breathed, yet you hesitated to bridge the gap between you. The uncertainty of whether he still wanted you, whether you still held a place in his heart, was a weight that bore heavily on your souls. Was the longing you felt reciprocated?
It was a night like any other when you crossed paths. You found yourselves in the same city, drawn to each other by an irresistible force. It was as if the universe conspired to bring you together, to test whether your connection was still alive. The world outside was a blur of noise and chaos, but in that moment, everything else faded away. He couldn't bear to look into your eyes, afraid that he might betray the secrets he had kept hidden. You, too, kept your gaze averted, but your heart raced with the knowledge of what lay unspoken between the two of you.
You stood face to face, the tension between you palpable; it was too much to bear. He couldn't resist any longer, and with a deep breath, he turned to face you. Your eyes locked, and in that silent exchange, you both could see it. The words you had held back for so long were etched in your eyes, a silent confession of the passion that had smoldered beneath the surface. He couldn't help but admire you, the way you held yourself, the curve of your lips, the fire in your gaze. You were everything he had ever desired, and more.
In that moment, the unspoken desires that had haunted your dreams became a reality. Without a word, he took you in his arms, pulling you close. The electricity that had always buzzed between you ignited into a fiery passion. He was shameless in his pursuit of you, his lips capturing yours in a searing kiss that spoke of a longing too intense to be denied, of your need for each other. A kiss that left no room for doubt.
In that dimly lit room, your desires played out in vivid detail. Like a symphony, each note a testament to the love you had hidden for so long. Your bodies moved as one, a dance of ecstasy and tenderness. It was a union of souls, a declaration that you needed each other more than you had ever wanted to admit. A surrender to the emotions you held back for so long.
As the night turned into dawn, you lay entwined in each other's arms, your breaths mingling in the quiet, your hearts content. The weight of your unspoken emotions had been finally lifted, replaced by the certainty that you were meant to be together. The distance that had once separated you like an insurmountable obstacle was now inconsequential, a mere reminder of the love you had fought so hard to find.
And as you basked in the afterglow of your passionate reunion, you knew that you would never run or hide from your desires again. You were shameless in your love, unafraid to admit how much you needed each other.

Ready or Not|Part 9|Yandere Levi x Evelyn
Tumblr media
(A/N: So the next chapter will be the last in this series, I'm not going to draw it out too much as much as I like these two. That doesn't mean they're going away however. All of these are pre-written weeks in advance but by the time this goes up who knows we might have another Levi and Evelyn series chosen to start next. Hope you enjoy and comment to be added to the taglist!)
WARNINGS: noncon, dubcon, manipulation, domestic abuse, yandere themes, forced marriage, forced pregnancy, stockholm syndrome, graphic depictions of violence, mind breaking, misogyny, etc.
================================================
Levi wasn't a complete animal, he'd give Evelyn a chance to see reason and agree to come back with him. Most likely it was that bitch of a physician gaslighting her into believing there was a better life out there, that she needed to be rid of him to be happy. His wife had always been incredibly naïve, if she came along quietly he wouldn't punish her as severely.
A firm knock on the apartment door announced his return into her life, any minute now he'd hear the door unlock and she'd run into his arms with his son, tearfully apologizing for how cruel she's treated him.
A minute passes and this doesn't happen, adding to his annoyance.
"Evelyn it's me, don't do anything stupid and open the damn door." His fist pounds on the wood.
Again there is nothing.
"Look, I know you're scared, but it'll be fine. I'm not mad, just disappointed. After all this time, all we've shared, I thought you got over your little temper tantrums. You know there's no escaping me so stop making it harder on yourself and just open the door."
With more time passing he takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself enough to think rationally.
"Fuck it."
He kicks the door open, splintering the wood. Stepping inside he surveys the cramped living space in search of his child and wife.
Clean but empty was the best way to describe it. Evelyn had come here with no much more than the clothes on her back and the meagre change she stole from him, of course they didn't have much.
Levi couldn't help but smirk, he bet she missed his extravagant lifestyle. There was something about having everything handed to you on a silver platter versus crawling up the corporate ladder to make enough to survive. Poor girl, he was saving her at this point.
As he explored, he captured glimpses of what her life had been void of him. A life of a working mother trying to make ends meet, all of her bills on the coffee table printed with long overdue dates on them. She needed him more than she thought, someone to take this mental tole of responsibility from her, reducing her to a blissful life of children and carefree days.
The bodies found in various states of disposal made him stop, she had always claimed she would never stoop to his level and kill those who came in her way. However it seemed like her own self-righteousness had come to stab her in the ass, she was just like him, cutting down victims to get ahead in life. Never had he been more proud.
Her bedroom was where he spent the most time, knowing she had slept in that bed, undressed here, made his heart race and blood rush to his dick.
The bed looked barely slept in, indicating nights where worried kept rest at bay. With him she always slept soundly after being filled with his cum.
He bent to pick up a pair of panties in a dirty clothes hamper, taking in the intoxicating sent before tucking them into his coat pocket. Clearly she wasn't here, but she hadn't fled, knowing he had come for her. But if her schedule followed that of a normal work day she would be home in a few hours, he could go out and find a nice spot to relax and plot their reunion before returning and pouncing on her happy life.
With that thought tugging his lips into a smile, Levi exited the apartment, not bothering with the door, if her things were stolen it was her own stupid fault for betraying him in the first place.
"It seems like this game is over my dear."
=============================================
The sun beat down on Evelyn and Furlan while she was on the hunt for a job. All of her employers had mysteriously been disappearing after they fired her, and so her list of job opportunities was growing thinner and thinner by day. Anywhere she could she'd beg for a job, the fear of finding some way to pay rent looming behind her.
She caught herself wishing Levi back into her life, wanting that life of stability. But as soon as she thought it she shook it away again, after all this, how could she even allow her brain to think of that madman? She was betraying everything she had done until now. No, she'd find a way to make it work.
As she walked through the crowded streets Furlan tugged on her hand. "Papa-"
Evelyn groaned softly. "No sweetie, Papa's gone away now, I know you miss him, just come along darling."
However he still pulled, begging for his father. Evelyn still hadn't gotten used to this, the constant reminder that her child longed for the man that abused her cut her deeply. She didn't know how to break it, she just wanted him to be happy without Levi.
Finally fed up with being told to hush, Furlan slipped out of Evelyn's hand, running into the crowd while she was talking about a possible job position.
"Furlan? Get back here right now- Furlan-!" Her heart jumped, panic setting in as she chased after him.
===============================================
Levi felt the small form hug his leg, slightly startled, he looked down to shoo off whatever child had mistaken him for his parent. Only to be met with his own son clinging to him like he had missed him dearly.
He ruffled his hair before kneeling to his level and pulling the boy into his arms. "There you are, I've been looking all over for you."
"Papa play hide seek?" He asked innocently, as if all of this heartache was a simple children's game.
"Yes son, and it seems I won. But I'm still looking for Mama, do you know where she is?"
==============================================
Evelyn chased Furlan until she saw him being held by a man bent over, unable to see his face. "I'm so sorry he got away from me-"
Her eyes meet his and her entire world went numb. Terror filling every inch of her body as she stares into those eyes, those cold eyes.
"Levi-"
"Seems like we found her Furlan, I guess that makes me the winner." He smiles at them both. "Now my dear. Are you ready to go home?"

Farscape rewatch 2x10 - My Three Crichtons
This is probably a lesser ep, objectively speaking, but one that to me presents  fascinating foreshadowing and contrasts to what Crichton has been and what he will become (as well as first plays around with multiple Crichtons in a foreshadowing of such a major part of s3.) The summary is pretty simple and traditionally scifi. Due to an alien race’s attempt to capture Crichton for its collection as it had never seen a human before and the Moyans (of course) meddling with this, Crichton is now confronted with both a ‘prehistoric’ proto-Crichton, and a so-called ‘Future Crichton’ (aka Crichton as he would have been if he would be a product of humanity’s future development). But the themes that run through the episode (not to mention the seemingly inescapable fact that no matter what, any new ‘adventure,’ even a lesser one, is just further add-on to Crichton’s issues and pain, and mess) are something that just resonate in general. Here he is, as yet another entity attempts to disassemble and study him as a lab rat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His horrified yet unsurprised “of course” reaction is honestly heartbreaking. 
Tumblr media
The man can barely walk and all he keeps asking for is a gun. I think what hits me here on rewatch is we haven’t even gotten past first half of s2 yet, the real horrors only just started, he has so much further to go and be broken as and he is already this messed up.
Tumblr media
The way he is so different from wide-eyed Panglossian John of the start of the show...all that constant horror will do that to you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is the fact (which is starkly true from the Premiere episode to Peacekeeper Wars) that Crichton does not need to do anything different: his very alienness in the alien world, his very fact of being is enough to mark him, put him in peril, make him wanted. The alien race collecting specimens the way Victorians collected butterflies is merely another facet of the same obsession that drives Scorpius. They might not be about wormholes (are in fact ignorant and indifferent to them) but they go by the same principle: unique is always valuable. But by his uniqueness, Crichton is not made special and favored. Instead, it’s a Mark of Cain of sorts, and he is dehumanized and objectified because of his uniqueness. Scorpius wants wormholes and John is just a bug from whom he can extract it (though later this changes into a vary acknowledgment of Crichton’s almost equal status. Scorpius elevates Crichton to ‘opponent’ from ‘experiment.’) The alien race couldn’t care if they got John or an elderly German janitor. It’s being homo sapiens that matters to them. That is one of the things I love so about Farscape. Even the seemingly one-off episodes resonate within the larger themes and arcs. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at this throwaway bitter quip - this is a man whose mind hasn’t been fully his own since at least A Human Reaction and then got rifled through like a drawer by Scorpius and as the show goes on becomes more and more something exploited and manipulated and attacked and disassembled. Volition? Control? Privacy? What’s that, says the universe. (I always found it quite precisely brutal that John is largely attacked through his mind because that is his strength; while Aeryn is through her body because that is hers.) 
To get back to something I mentioned earlier btw, this is the first ep that plays with multiple Crichtons and I want to scream into my hands, knowing how thoroughly and heartbreakingly this will get explored in s3.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But even in this ep, where it is a one-off where it is resolved, and we do have the “original” John and the distorted copies, we are left with a hell of a sting, with John confronted with the realization of how far he’s come from the man he was at the start and how far further he might fall.
Tumblr media
I love the existence of ‘pre’ and ‘post’ Crichtons, distorted John mirrors of a sort. In some ways, the symbolism is pretty obvious: pre-Crichton is kind if not super bright, and he wears John’s discarded space suit, while post-Crichton is intellectual but heartless and is dressed in PK uniform. But I think it’s a lot more complicated than that. I find it interesting that it is Chiana who ends up interacting with ‘pre’ and Aeryn with ‘post.’ Because the reaction to ‘post’ Crichton is as much about Aeryn and Aeryn’s change as it is about anything else. In part, because Crichton’s slow descent to that side of the scale is prompted so much by his love and need for Aeryn (he wouldn’t have gone to the Base etc etc in S1 if not for her. His love for her is both his destruction and his salvation), but also because it shows us her change, her thawing and humanization. If you think about it, post-Crichton is someone that PK Aeryn would have liked the most out of the versions, someone she could have related to the most: ruthless intelligence and efficiency, not a spark of heart. But this new Aeryn, while someone who would likely be impatient with pre-Crichton (because she will never lose her feeling for efficiency and razor sharpness. John wins her respect and eventually love not just because he is ‘a nice guy’ but because he is incredibly smart and functions under pressure) sees through post-Crichton as a pane of glass and does not like him in the least. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(bwahaha only Farscape would go there)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course, it makes sense that it is Chiana who ends up bonding with pre-Crichton, Chiana who is the most ‘childish’ of the bunch (Rygel is a lot of things in his greed, gluttony and boredom, but he is not truly childish, not ever), the most open to just expression of emotion, and who is, probably, someone who misses the slow disappearance of Crichton who helped her under the burdened, cracked shell of Crichton the way he is now. 
Tumblr media
And of course, pre-Crichton’s situation reminds her of herself when she first was aboard Moya. It’s interesting, because in a lot of ways, Chiana is harder than Aeryn, but in a lot of other ways, she is just younger. She is never about justice, but she is about personal compassion. Even Aeryn’s compassion is tempered, controlled, different. But yes, the pre and post as symbolism for what Crichton was and for where he is going. That is perhaps something that scares John the most: that he can end up as another type of Scorpius, someone unfeeling, uncaring, willing to be ruthlessly expedient. But that is the thing, he never will become such, however he teeters on the edge. He is someone who is, in this episode, refuses to take the easy way out, to close his eyes to sacrifice, to let the post-Crichton do the dirty work and to try to absent himself and excuse himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is willing to be the sacrifice, to walk into the sphere to death to save his shipmates, telling post-Crichton that if he is the future, he is glad he won’t live to see it.
Tumblr media
And the thing is, this refusal to give his humanity, his feeling of guilt and his capacity for self-sacrifice is always there no matter how hardened he becomes. Even at the end, even as he blows up a nuke in ‘We are so screwed’ that ends season 4 or with his actions in Peacekeeper Wars, he will never be post-Crichton, because no matter how mutilated, his caring and humanity remains. He is someone who will weep in Aeryn’s arms at the destruction he has wrought. His actions might change, but his basic compassion does not. Post-Crichton is yet another ‘fractured future,’ a possibility, but not something that will ultimately come to pass and I love that Farscape, for all its darkness and horrors was never about girmdark but about hope.

[Abandoned objects] smth smth between magic and science - psionics is the bridge ;;
“We are a lot alike, you and I, you tested me, I tested you. You killed me, I… oh wait, I haven’t killed you yet.” Her massive sleek body twisting like a serpent, ‘she’ ‘spoke’ in even inflections, never having to take a breath backed by its own chorus.
Traversing up a staircase the super intelligent computer assembled by shifting the plates that built the chamber’s boundaries, building into a circular track with each step. Pacing like a tiger in a cage, but GlaDOS was no prey.
Here again. What time was it? Where was he? Where were his allies? Kimmuriel wasn’t trapped here. He had no need for the ASHPD, he could make his own portals, open them up in virtually any space he could visualize. Immediately he could be on the surface, yet he didn’t. Explored the chambers so graciously provided by his host.
“You think you’re so smart, don’t you." 
Not anymore than you. He sent the sentence out, but hadn’t gotten the twitch the psionicist was so used to indicating it had been received. Kimmuriel lived in his mind - more so literally than others attributed to that descriptor - to the point his own body was a foreign thing to maneuver. Willing the words out of his mouth was akin to pulling teeth, but sending his thoughts directly into someone else’s was as natural as a baby born to scream.
He wouldn’t have to worry about grammar or inflection or any other tricks that a mouth could accidentally utter. If the creature was intelligent enough, intentions could easily pass through barriers, where the drow tongue couldn’t convey love, was not to say that a dark elf hadn’t experienced such a sensation before. But for some reason it wouldn’t reach this creature.
She swiveled about the dark elf, her scope eye focusing and unfocusing at him. As she moved she hadn’t squeaked, Kimmuriel considered her a masterpiece, but such a word didn’t capture the feeling correctly, she was perfected. The delicate way all of the pieces that made her were placed and molded to easily glide, moving delicately, but would instantly shatter the bones and shred the flesh if he were to stick a finger in the machinations. A far worse fate than neurotoxin, but maybe better than immolation.
What was it that kept him here? His own curiosity at how far these seemingly endless tests were? Testing, testing, testing, that was her purpose. But what was it that she was learning? For what purpose? Whatever it was, she was content to continue doing it - even if he wasn’t the perfect test subject. Who in that case would?
A realization. Standing here, in her chamber after running that rat race so many others have before. He made it. If test subject wasn’t right, then maybe he would be better served as tester.
While thinking, he heard the opening of a chute.
Again with the neurotoxin?
“Breathe in, it’s your favorite, neurotoxin.” Kimmuriel could hear something of a smile as she said that, although she had no face. One of the various panels on the wall lit up white for a second, and then its screen displayed a timer. A countdown of six minutes.
Deadly neurotoxin becomes far less of an obstacle when you can open up portals anywhere you can imagine at will.
“Your sense of humor seems to be sparking the opposite effect. Are you having fun? Throwing off my results?”
Kimmuriel, growing tired of this game, but not yet done here, quickened his pace as he circled the machine. GlaDOS never took her scope off the elf. Out of curiosity, he reached for one of her many exposed wires. A thin one in his hand. With a firm tug and a small cthwuk noise, at the end of the rope a skill silver prod.
He looked at her, trying to gage her reaction, whether what he was doing was distressing her in any way.
“Your central core and mine run on the same stuff. Electricity. Of course yours is more prone to failure. You could hardly generate enough power to keep a lightbulb on. Were you to plug yourself into a single one of my wires you would be fried instantly. Just another point towards my superiority.”
Kimmuriel reached for another one before thinking about what she just said.
“Why do you do this? You know I’ll just have them plugged back again.” Kimmuriel continued, sensing it might be unnerving the beast. Tearing away at her, bit by bit. A cut wire here, a switched off switch there, a button or two pressed. He surmised it’d be the equivalent of cutting fingers or pulling teeth.
GlaDOS too was observing the other. He’s a strange one, wasn’t one of the original test subjects she had nabbed, but there he was in the stasis pod. She sensed it too that it was all so foreign to him. I mean who wouldn’t, being able to hop through time and all, but that came naturally to him. Too naturally.
Both of them saw their chance to freak the other out, but the super computer was faster.
“Is it because it feels so… familiar? Because we’ve been here before, I already know how this ends.” Kimmuriel looked at her incredulous. “I’ve got your mind backed up. All those little paths down your neurons, the electric signals, all of them. That includes your memories, hopes, dreams, all of it. I find it all fits nicely on a single drive the size of a textbook. Much more spatially convenient.” To accentuate her point, her head tilted from head to toe.
Kimmuriel didn’t move. Whether in thought or due to the absence of thought she couldn’t tell. Had she miscalculated? Did he call her bluff? Had she given him too much credit and the real source of his indifference was intense brain damage from the lack of mental stimulation for… too long…
Rolling the little silver bit over in his fingers. What’s a little electrocution? Nothing a four hour trance and another four hours of light activity can’t fix. Just because Kimmuriel didn’t belong in his flesh didn’t mean he lacked the understanding of the mortal form. Like inserting a needle to draw blood, it went in easily.
Kimmuriel realized his nervous system had sent the signal to cry, curl up, and die. All before he felt the shock.
It was spikey on his skin, and spread in big globs from his wrist to his arm and then into his core all in the blink of an eye. A hundred pricks all with the same intensity hopping from spinal plate to spinal plate. Pain receptors all reminding him of how he was a slave to flesh.
It left him as quickly as it came, but that didn’t mean Kimmuriel was unscathed. The pain did leave, in the sense that he couldn’t sense it or the thing that was being attacked. He tried to waggle the fingers on his left hand, but found they weren’t there. It was as if he had dipped himself into something so corrosive, he experienced his senses melting away, all too quickly.
There was only so much to think and regret in the milliseconds that felt like forever as his being dissolved while he was still attached.
Then he was gone, an untethered soul detached from anything. Isolated and depraved from his existence, but not truly gone. Trapped more like it. In a dark dark chamber, he could visualize it similar to floating freely as in gestation, waiting to be born.
Am I similar to you? Is there a relation? Is there anything?

Signal reflection, The Torn First Pages By Amar Kanwar
I was truly impressed by Amar Kanwar's work, The Torn First Pages, which was featured in the Signal exhibition at MoMA. As we witness the aftermath of the military coup that toppled the Myanmar government in February 2021, followed by the ongoing Spring Revolution, Kanwar's work remains relevant. The incomplete data suggests that thousands of protestors have been killed, around 14,000 have been arrested, and 700,000 have been relocated.
In my opinion, Kanwar's work serves as a poignant reminder of Myanmar's tumultuous history, which has been characterized by decades-long fighting and struggle against military dictatorships. The fact that we share this history together, at the very moment, move us closer to what is going on now in Myanmar. The work itself comprises of four parts, including a book with torn first pages and a 19-channel film installation that explores the democracy movement in Burma during the 2007 Saffron Revolution.  The film was projected onto papers and positioned on three sides of the room, leaving a substantial gap in the center, which urged the audience to move physically closer to observe the event.
One of the things I particularly appreciate about Kanwar's work is his storytelling. Through the act of tearing the first page of a book, which was required to be published by the military regime, Kanwar describes an anonymous act of rebellion carried out by a bookshop owner. When the authorities discovered what had happened, the book dealer was thrown into prison for several years. This act of defiance demonstrates the power of communication and expression of freedom, and how the personal act can influence the environment. Very much like passing a baton in a relay race, but instead of competing with the time, we help each other to understand what is happening in the world, learn from each other and inspire one another. The artist's decision to project the films onto paper, a material often used to record events, was also an ingenious touch. By doing so, Kanwar suggests that everything that happens in the world is in a constant state of flux, and not static.
The small cameras and cell phones used during the 2007 Saffron movement in Myanmar served as important tools. The protestors themselves became the cinematographers, capturing first-hand footage on the frontlines. They were journalists, activists, fighters for freedom, and ordinary citizens. The film also depicted scenes of daily life, with some parts shown in slow motion, which caught my attention. This aspect of the work pulled me out of the constant stream of information and allowed me to focus on the original idea behind the fighting and struggles. It enabled me to experience small moments, to sense the weight of a teacup, to feel the warmth of the air, and to take interest in what was happening in the physical space around me.
Kanwar's work not only transported me outside of the museum hall, but it also made me acutely aware that the history and present of Myanmar were converging in my body and mind at that very moment. I walked out of the exhibition room with a sense of connection to people in different places on the planet, as if there were a magnetic force drawing me towards their stories.

TF Story- Samus in Triple Trouble
Originally posted to DeviantArt: contains transformation, splitting and identiry change.
PART 1- Starting with Samus...
It was not easy being a researcher for the Space Pirates. Long hours, constantly shifting goals and no lunch breaks were the least of the problems. First you'd get shipped off to some backwater planet and be grateful if the air was breathable, capture dangerous wildlife and brave dangerous temples to loot Chozo artifacts (hope you didn't pick out a co-worker you hated the least) then with your outdated and barely functional scanners, try to figure out how to weaponize them. But all of this paled in comparison to the worst problem of all. Juuuuust as you were beginning to make progress, you'd show up for work one day, only to find the place completely looted and trashed at best, completely blown to smithereens at worst. All because of the one known as "The Hunter", treating research labs a free goody bags of artifacts and prototype weapons. Eventually every Space Pirate Researcher was a survivor of a raid by The Hunter- spared only by fate and bathroom breaks- and together they started to concoct a plan. They worked on it in secret- knowing that Space Pirate High Command would never approve of a plan that didn't end with The Hunter being torn to shreds by his talons- ready to exploit The Hunter's own routines against her.
There was something off about this latest facility that Samus found herself exploring. Where there should have been samples of local wildlife, there was instead different local plants, placed there as if the researcher were trying to look busy. She could feel a trap coming but the automated security was pretty much the same as ever. Her gut instinct was overwritten by a cocky thought.
"I guess even Space Pirates get disenfranchised."
She continued to scan the notes they left behind and all were pointing to the artifact that they had located, how it would make them unstoppable when they figured it out and how terrible it would be if "The Hunter" got her hands on it, all standard stuff. She made her way to the main laboratory and found the artifact taking pride of place in an over elaborate container. Samus's instincts were telling her that something was off, she should have faced some kind of Pirate Boss to obtain something so allegedly powerful, but she second guessed herself and remember the times she fought the boss right after picking the main item of the area up. She scanned the access panel and opened it up...
Meanwhile, all huddled in the security room, the researcher pushed against each other to get a view of the security feed. She had fallen for their deception and she would never be the same person again...
PART 2- It's a compact?
Samus reached out and grabbed the mysterious artifact, which appeared to be a small plastic disc of some kind with curved edges. She picked it up and turned it over in her hand. Noticing a hinge on it, she opened the device. It had a reflective surface and a small fabric pad that could be removed to reveal buttons underneath. It looked like a strange combination of a communications device and a makeup compact.
But before she could scan it, it scanned her! A laser came out the device and tracked over her power suit. Samus attempted to throw away what was now clearly a trap away but before it left her hand, a wire shot out from it and connected to her power suit. A message flashed up on her power suit’s HUD-
W.O.O.H.P. agent reactivation program initialised.
Samus’ mind raced with questions.
“Initialised? Agent program? What was going on? Reactivating who?”
PART 3- All of them?!
Another strange message appeared on the HUD.
TOTAL reactivation in progress.
Step 1: Separating “Sam” from “us”.
001/100% complete
Before Samus could even try to make sense of it, needles shot out of her suit into her. Normally for administering pain killers, the strange compact had turned them against Samus and they were now extracting something from her.
010% complete
Samus quickly realised that they weren’t draining her blood. This felt more like a Metroid attack, the suit was absorbing something else from her. But what was it absorbing?
030% complete
Sam us, trying to figure out how to disable the malevolent programming, felt what she could only describe as her body getting too big for her bones. Anyone looking through her visor would have seen her eyes sag and shift down as the eye holes of her skull grew larger.
050% complete
She felt her feet rise off the floor as she shrank and now her entire body weight was supported by the power suit’s crotch which was riding up her butt. The pain quickly overwhelmed rational thought Sam us could have had and her mind became consumed with “Get me out of this stupid thing!”
075% complete
Sam us clenched her legs against the sides of the power suit that was now a foot and a half too large for her frame and found that her muscles and skin had now caught up with her skeleton and that she was fit enough to support herself in the cavernous cavity. She was relieved but then she realised, she had forgotten why she was even in this stupid painful hunk of tin in the first place.
100% complete: “us” completely extracted from “Sam”
Step 2: “us” refinement
001/100%
No sooner than that message appeared on the window of the suit did it open up, dumping Sam on to the cold hard floor, butt first. As she rubbed her bruised keister she tried to figure out what the heck was happening. What had actually happened was that the suit had extracted the “us” from Samus leaving only Sam behind but she had no way to know this. As far as Sam was aware, she was in the mall with her friends, trying to ignore Mandy’s… Mandy-ness and, without so much as a hasty and embarrassing briefing, she was whisked away to this dull evil lair.
“And they gave me the wrong suit!” she screamed, tugging at the wrongly sized blue number she was stuck in. As if in response to the complaint, the creepy suit walked towards her and pointed it’s cannon arm right into her chest.
“YIPE!”
But instead of firing, the suit did something weirder: It started to melt. First the cannon melted right onto Sam and quickly coated her blue suit. As she tried to brush the goo off, she missed the red portion of the suit melting off of the yellow part which continued to stand upright. Sam stopped struggling as she realised that the green blob had now turned into a perfect copy of her own suit. Same cut, same heart shaped belt and same zipper that got stuck half-way up every third time you tried to close it. But there was no time to be thankful for that small accommodation as the legs of the creepy suit were still melting and were now starting to writhe. The legs shrunk inwards and the excess material came out the top, turning into three indistinct blobs. Sam was reading herself to fight this blob monster, something much more in her pay grade, but the freakiness refused to stop as the middle blob opened to reveal a human face. One very familiar to Sam.
“Alex?”
“Sam? What’s going on here?! And why am I so… blobby?”
“I was hoping you’d know.”
“Why would I know? You think I want to be a blob?!”
Once again, as soon as complaints were made, the goo reacted and Alex’s body became more shapely and more human until she looked like she was ready for just another mission in her catsuit.
“This has got to be at least in the top ten freakiest missions we’ve ever had.” Sam groaned as she rubbed her temples trying to process it all.
“Or, at least top fifty.” she quickly added.
Alex had noticed something important was missing but before she could finish asking- “Where’s Clover?”
-a terrible wail cried out:
“ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEEE?!”
Sam and Alex looked down. Where the red blob once once stood was now Clover… or at least her torso.
“I guess there wasn’t enough red in that creepy suit…”
The words just kind of fell out of Sam’s mouth as she and Alex stood there bug eyed at Clover writhing in frustration.
“We got teleported to who knows where and they forgot my legs! How will I ever wear shoes again?!” she screamed, tears starting to form in her eyes.
“Muh-Maybe they’ll send them later.” Alex said very unconvincingly as she picked up the top half of Clover and put her on a box so she was at least at eye level.
“Legs aren’t like a magazine subscription!” Clover complained. “I can’t wait by the door for my own body to…”
Then the freak-fest continued as all three girls screamed in horror. Clover was melting! Clover, now a red blob with her head on top was dripping over the edges of the box and starting to coat it. The trio’s scream was cut off as they heard an ominous metallic creak. It came from the box that Clover had been perched on. The red Clover-adjacent blob was crushing it and absorbing it. The creak graduated to a crunch as the box was demolished and sucked into the red mass. Clover gingerly opened her eyes to see that she was now standing up, and with her own full body. She knocked her fists together and it didn’t sound like metal. The girls had a lot to think about-
“So are we actually us or crazy blob robots that think we’re us?”
“Does that matter? Identity is more about perception than-”
“Please don’t get philosophical, I promised my parents I’d get a useful major!”
They were interrupted by screaming coming from down the hall. It was in a language that none of them understood but the tone was universal: it was the panicked screech of mad scientists who accidentally made things worse for themselves and were trying to get away.
“We can’t be sure…” said Alex, striking a pose.
“...but perhaps we were sent here to kick butt and save the day.” continued Sam, joining her in the pose.
Clover joined in and declared “Let’s show them what happens when you mess with the wrong spies.”

Super terraformers
Tumblr media
Super terraformers free#
The halocarbons are described as ''super- greenhouse gases,'' which, upon arriving in the Martian atmosphere, block the infrared thermal emission to space and significantly warm this chilly world. Small numbers of these solid-fuel rockets are strapped together, and payloads of halocarbons and microorganisms are launched to Mars. Mars is made habitable essentially through the use of such strategic missiles as the American Minuteman 3, the Soviet SS-18 and others, abruptly unemployed because of the effectiveness of popular protest against the nuclear arms race and a certain welcome outbreak of reason in Washington and Moscow.
Super terraformers free#
Lovelock's Mars, humans are not confined inside bulky space suits or domed cities but are free to wander about the breathtaking Martian landscape in warm clothing with simple oxygen masks, while great hydrogen-filled airships transport explorers and colonists over the equatorial latitudes of the planet. Lovelock believes that Mars can be made habitable, or ''terraformed.'' On Mr. Its central theme is an elaboration of the means by which Mr. The book purports to have been written in the year 2245, when Mars supports a self-sustaining and culturally independent human civilization. There are useful discussions of timekeeping and calendrical conventions on Mars, of weightlessness, of how much oxygen it takes to breathe or to light a fire, of the design of interplanetary spacecraft and of the origin of species, to name only a few topics raised. Lovelock and the British science writer Michael Allaby, is a work of popular science attractively disguised as science fiction. He is an inventor of distinction, and his tinkering cast of mind is in evidence throughout this book. Lovelock has contributed significantly to the design of miniaturized gas chromatographs, two of which flew to Mars on the Viking landers in 1976 to analyze the Martian atmosphere and surface. He is an expert on life at low temperatures and on halocarbons, such as the Freons used in refrigerators and aerosol spray cans. James Lovelock is an extraordinary British scientist who has done much of his research in a private laboratory in a thatched cottage on Salisbury Plain. After a century of vague imaginings, and two decades of preliminary exploration, the time may be ripe to begin thinking seriously about sending humans to Mars. Senate Joint Resolution 236, signed by the President in the fall of 1984, expresses the sense of Congress that such a mission would be a useful alternative to a perilous and much more costly arms race in space. Such a mission, occupying years, its progress televised daily back to earth, would have a very real chance of capturing the global imagination. In a microcosm of the circumstances on earth, the American and Soviet crew members would be mutually dependent for their very lives. But a new factor has recently emerged - the possibility that a joint United States- Soviet manned mission to Mars might provide a dramatic opportunity for the two nations to undertake something promising on behalf of the human species. It would be hard to justify such an expedition on purely scientific grounds, because missions with human crews are so much more expensive than missions with their robot counterparts. Today, thanks to spacecraft exploration, we know another Mars: a world of immense volcanic mountains, seasonal dust storms and polar snows, intricately branched river valley networks in which water flowed a billion years ago a world with a vast chasm into one of whose minor tributaries the Grand Canyon would fit, pink skies, white clouds, a thin atmosphere, chilly weather and, so far as we can tell, not a trace of life. Miles away - is Mars, in many respects the mostĬlement extraterrestrial environment we know.Įarlier in this century it was the setting for a celebrated scientific fable about an antique (and thirsty) canal-building civilization, perhaps casting envious eyes on our own waterlogged planet. JUST next door - occasionally a mere 25 million THE GREENING OF MARSīy James Lovelock and Michael Allaby. His first novel, ''Contact,'' will be published this year. Carl Sagan is the director of the Laboratory for Planetary Studies at Cornell University and the president of the Planetary Society.

**I don't own marvel and if I did Natasha would be alive**
Tumblr media
Something was wrong. You were just in Strucker’s lab- just on the trail of one of the enhanced twins. The alarms were going off around you and your boots clanged on the metal floor- before you froze in your place, a red haze overtaking you and suddenly you were thrown into the daylight.
-
You felt tingles run through your veins and down your spine; your head throbbed. You felt vulnerable, seen. What the hell is going on-
You’re in the forest, you think. No- there are rocks. Big rocks-
Focus.
No, not rocks. Graves. Gravestones. Where the hell are you?
You drag your heavy feet over to the nearest, it takes a moment for your vision to focus.
Who’s grave? Who’s grave? Oh god.  No no no- this, this can’t be-
Natasha Romanoff.
You felt like throwing up. This couldn’t be real. You dragged yourself to another stone situated nearby: Clint Barton. Beloved husband, father, and friend.
It felt like you couldn't breathe, you were just there with them. You were just there.
Your body jerks as cold hands grab your shoulders and spin your body to face them-
Steve.
You throw your arms around his neck, “STEVE! Oh god Steve! You’re okay- you’re.. cold” you feel something wet and sticky on your hand, pulling it back and seeing red. So much red.
“Steve..” you quickly stumble back, tripping in the process. It’s then you see- it’s too late. His body was grey and lifeless. He falls onto his knees and then collapses totally. You scream and scramble backwards, head hitting another gravestone in the process.
You turn to face it, to read another name of one of the team members you’ve come to call family- but it's not one of theirs. It’s yours.
It’s your name. A graveyard for the Avengers, Earth’s mightiest heroes.
Suddenly your body jolts and you take a sharp intake of breath- your ears are pounding. Everything hurts. But you see her- the enhanced. She’s looking at you with a look you can’t describe. It’s not fear, it’s not anger.. Pity? Empathy? You can’t look away from her, the glowing red eyes capturing you as their prey.
And then there was black.
-
A few weeks later and you’re back at the tower. Things have changed- the entire world has changed, really. The battle opened up new doors- literal new doors to new realms- that the world had previously thought impossible.
The team had expanded, with Steve’s friend Sam joining the team, as well as Vision, the synthezoid that helped the team to defeat Ultron.
There was also her.
Wanda Maximoff was one of the enhanced twins from Strucker’s experiments, you eventually learned. It was voluntary, but after learning about her backstory you think you would have done the same in her place. 
She lost her brother- Pietro- in the battle and she took it hard. She didn’t come out of her room when she could help it. Clint was rather protective over her, maybe it was the fatherly figure coming out of him- maybe he was feeling guilt over being the one Pietro sacrificed himself to save. Either way, he was able to get her out of the room a few times and get her to eat. Vision also struck up a strange friendship with the girl- but then again, Vision was easy company, and rather empathetic for a synthezoid.
Everybody took a hit from when Wanda messed with their heads, some more than others.
You didn’t talk for a week.
Didn’t even talk with Clint’s kids when they wanted to play with you.
You didn’t hold it against her. She proved what a valuable asset she was to the team as she fought alongside the group. She did what she thought was right at the time, and that’s not something you could hold against anybody.
Ever since the Battle, Wanda has been staying in the Avengers facilities with the rest of the group, an official Avenger, but you could tell she was still uneasy around the team. She only talked when she was directly talked to and didn't come out of her room but for a few times a day for food and training, sometimes not even then.
And then there was you.
She seemed to avoid you like the plague. You weren’t even sure you two made eye contact for the entire first few weeks she was there.
At first you thought she just didn’t like you, that something about you rubbed her the wrong way, or something you had done had offended her.
But it was her eyes that gave it away- the same soft look that she gave you right after exploring the deepest and darkest parts of your mind that day at Strucker’s lab. She knew from the second it happened that she had hit a deep nerve, and she would continue to give you that damn look every time she thought you didn't notice her.
But you always did.
You couldn’t help it, the way you were drawn to her. She reminded you so much of yourself before joining the team, broken, and alone in your head. You wanted to know her. You wanted to be there for her, be someone to her, you didn’t want her to keep walking on eggshells around you.
And so, you told her.
You found her in the kitchen late one night. She was wearing flannel pajama bottoms and a garnet tank top with a plain gray robe overtop. Her hair was a mess, roughly shoved into a ponytail and her hands were cupped around a mug. She was blowing on what looked to be dandelion tea, and as you got closer the fragrant earthy smell confirmed your suspicions.
She looked adorable.
And slightly startled to find you alone with her.
“Evening” you said as a greeting as you made your way to the counter top.
She gave a tight-lipped half smile with a timid “Hi” before going back to blowing on her tea. She made a slight movement that looked like she was going to try to slip away before you continued,
“You did really well in training the other day. Cap can’t give you enough praise” you say, taking a seat on one of the counter barstools.
She looks puzzled for a moment over your attempt at small talk before getting out a “Thank you.”
You both stood there in silence for a moment, just looking at each other, feeling the air grow thicker with each second ticking by.
“I like the pajamas” you say with a small smirk. You yourself were still dressed for the day in your leather jacket and black jeans. You could have sworn you saw flush creep up her neck before she swallowed it down with a sip of her tea.
There was another silent moment as she gave you a quizzical look, “I don’t quite understand what’s happening here.” She says with a vague hand gesture to the space between them.
You gave a slight chuckle, it was very on-brand for Wanda to be straight to the point.
“Look, Wanda,” You rotated your body on the stool to face her more comfortably,
“I see the way you look at me when you think i’m not looking. You avoid me at any given opportunity, I actually think this has been the most words we’ve exchanged in your whole time living here.”
She raised her ducked head to look you in the eyes and gave a small shake to her head, “I don’t understand.”
You don’t break eye contact, but simply offer a small smile as you reply “I’m not afraid of you, Wanda. And I don’t hold anything from that day against you. All is forgiven, and I would like to move past that. I understand you believed everything you were doing was for the right reasons, and the only thing that it shows me is your dedication and loyalty to a greater cause. Even if it was the wrong one at the time.”
She looked shocked, to say the least. Her mouth slightly opening and closing as she pondered what to say in response.
“You all should be afraid of me. You see the chaos I’ve created and you think you know what I can do,” her voice caught before she continued, “But the truth is I don't even know what i'm capable of. I don’t belong here.” she says softly.
You give a sad smile before slipping off of the stool and moving closer to her.
“We all thought that, at one point or another. We’ve got a whole freak circus here, we’ve got more baggage than Delta flies in a year- that's, that's uh, an airline. My bad.” You elaborate after she gives you a puzzled look, holding back a smile at your stuttered explanation.
“Aaand I ruined the moment.” You give a small chuckle, before continuing “But my point still stands. Nobody belongs here more or less than anyone else. We’re all just here, that's the truth of the matter. We’re just a bunch of unlucky misfits trying to figure out how to work as a team. Just give it a try, and maybe you’ll find you fit in better than you imagined you would.”
At some point during your speech you had moved close enough to take her hand, and you look down at it now, blushing before going to move it away.
Before you could, she gives your hand a squeeze before moving in to place a gentle kiss against your cheek.
“Thank you, y/n.”
And with that she slips away to her room, leaving you alone with your racing heart and her lukewarm mug of tea.
-
The next morning you found yourself awake bright and early for another morning training session with Nat and Steve- but you had a guest this time.
“Wanda” you greeted, which she returned with a timid “Good morning.”
“I’m glad you could make it” you say, sincerely.
“I decided to take your advice.” She replies with the smallest smile pulling at her lips.
The two of you stood there for a moment, just taking each other in before Steve cleared his throat, “Alright, we should get started then. Wanda, I'll spar with you to start. Nat, you take y/n. Try not to kill each other, please.” He said with a humored smile.
You make your way towards the corner with Nat on your heels. She gives you a quizzical look with a raised brow, glancing between you and Wanda. You roll your eyes and shake your head, only responding with a pointed “Later,” before your legs sweep under hers and an arm wraps around her torso, flipping you both to the ground and landing with you on top of her.
“Using my own move against me, that’s a low blow y/n.” You both laugh, and you barely respond with a “I learned from the best” before she wraps a leg around your waist and grabs your wrists with one hand, flipping you over and pinning you to the ground. She winks and replies “Damn right you did.”
It went like that for another half an hour, the two of you going back and forth battling for the upper hand. Natasha was the one who had trained you since the beginning, and you could almost say you were near her equal now. Well, you could at least give her a run for her money in a spar.
The two of you were panting and glistening with sweat, cheeks flushed from the exercise when she gave you a mischievous wink and called out to the other two, “Hey grandpa, I think I’m done getting my ass kicked by y/n for the day. I want someone easy, come spar with me”
If looks could kill, the look you were giving her would have the assassin dead on the floor.
Steve only looked amused, grabbing a towel to wipe his own sweat as he responded “Bring it on, Romanoff. Try not to break anything, though. I’ve been told they want my bones for the Smithsonian” Nat rolled her eyes and gave a pointedly fake laugh before they made their way to the other side of the gym, leaving you and Wanda alone.
“Hi” you greeted. She responded with a small smile and a “Hi” in return.
She looked as though she were still catching her breath, the rise and fall of her chest was noticeably fast and her face was still adorned with a glisten of sweat and pretty pink flush.
The same flush you saw from her last night, standing in the kitchen with the dim light around her.
Oh God you were in deep now.
“Nat and I were just wrestling around, hand to hand combat kind of stuff, but I see you and Steve were boxing so it's up to you what you’d like to do.” you say quickly.
“Well.. I do have this,” She waves her hand to show her flicker of red powers “for missions, so I don’t think I really need that kind of training.” She says with a smirk, “But I admit, you seem like a good teacher. Maybe.. some basics?”
She was pushing it. Pushing at this, the same way you were pushing last night. Alright, maybe you could run with this.
You give her a teasing smile, “Alright then. We’ll start slowly. May I?” You ask, reaching out for her, but not quite touching.
“By all means” she says, and you can feel the familiar flush creeping up your neck again. You release a puff of breath and shake yourself out of your thoughts before stepping closer to Wanda, and in one fluid motion you had one leg behind hers, your left arm resting against her upper chest and your other at the small of her back, pushing her flush against yourself.
You could hear the small gasp she let out, smirking to yourself.
“This is a simple take down, easy to get out of, but good for beginning. Now i'm just gonna pull you down as slowly as I can-”
You bring her left leg out from under her and carefully let the two of you sink to the floor, leaving you straddled on top of her and pinning her arms to the ground. The air suddenly felt a lot warmer.
You meet her eyes, breath hitching as you feel her pulse quicken beneath your touch.
You clear your throat and begin again, “Like I said before, it’s easy to get out of, but you want to keep the element of surprise. Use your opponent's body weight against them, if you can twist your wrist to slip it out of their grip and use your hips to to flip-”
Before you could even finish she had you pinned beneath her, wind knocked out of you from the impact.
“Like that?” she said, looking down at you through hooded eyes, thick accent teasing- flirting?
You were suddenly very aware of your close proximity and compromising position- flush against each other with her hips straddling your waist; close enough to feel her rapid heartbeat. 
“Yeah- that was- that was good” you sputtered out, barely able to hear yourself over the rapid beating of your own heart. Or maybe it was hers- you aren't sure you could tell the difference between up and down right now.
She gave a proud smirk and opened her mouth to say something before a certain synthezoid floated through the gym walls, clueless to the moment he was interrupting.
“Mr. Stark requests a team meeting and would like you to meet him in the conference room.” He said simply before turning and leaving through the wall again.
Wanda gave you a look that seemed to say we’ll finish this later and moved off of you. You missed the heat of her body immediately.
She offered you a hand up and you gladly took it, the two of you walking side by side in silence to the meeting, shoulders bumping and small smiles shared between you two as you think to yourself that maybe you could get used to this.

The cold air threaded through your locks as you raced to your morning class, the rain seemingly soaking into your bones. You approached the heavy wooden French doors of your designated building, your umbrella folding against your side in a clumsy dance. As you crossed through the first threshold of the building, you swept away the damp strands that had fallen in your face out of your line of vision. You rushed to swing the lecture hall’s door open. A willowy figure clad in black brushed past you, sending only a small nod of acknowledgment your way to combat your slight eye roll at the swift action. You trudged between the rows of the theatre style rows, finally plopping down into an aisle seat. 
As you sank into the chair, a small shiver crawled up the length of your spine with the sudden anxiety of eyes burning into the back of your head. You acted as if you were looking for someone, in order to subtly peer over your right shoulder. Your gaze drifted from the shoes of the girl stationed behind you toward the slouched form slumped in his seat. His iridescent irises searing into yours with a cocky swell of curiosity. He propped his chin against his hand, lazily gripping a pen as he watched you watch him. His black eyeliner was smudged. Your mind wandered through the possibilities of what he might have been up to last night. Had he been tangled with another person? Were those the same clothes he’d worn the day before? Or was he in some kind of garage band, playing at the local underground club?  In reality, it was probably caused by the ongoing downpour and lack of sleep.
You fought to pry your eyes from his slender fingers as they moved to twist at the pen cap, drawing more attention closer to his lips. His tongue darted out to wet the mildly chapped skin, an effort you could nearly feel in your knees. His tongue moved as he caught his lip piercing between his white teeth. 
He smugly sent you a wink, breaking you from your trance and you snapped your head forward. A flush settled over your cheeks at the realization you’d been staring. You attempted to ignore the low chuckle you could hear coming from the man. You chewed the inside of your cheek as you watched him out of the corner of your eye stand and drag his belongings into the seat directly behind you. 
You protested against the smile threatening to spread across your features as you felt him peer over your shoulder, his breath dangerously close to your skin. “Nice handwriting,” he quipped, a hint of rasp from the early morning still tied in his voice. His smirk was evident in his tone. 
Throughout the lecture, your concentration shifted from your notes to the smug grin that played upon his lips after the compliment. You shamelessly thought about what it would be like to kiss someone with a lip ring. The idea even carried you through your next class. 
You ran a hand through your hair, thanking whatever higher being that it had finally stopped pouring long enough for you to get to your next destination. You descended the concrete steps hugging one corner of the building, your mindset on just how to fit a lunch break into your schedule for the day. You had passed the huddled groups of loiterers so quickly that the abrupt boom of a familiar voice nearly sent your head spinning. 
“Hey, Hancock!” The rasp in the voice was now clear, unlike how muddled it had been that morning. You turned on your heel, nearly ramming into the tall figure who’d earlier blatantly stepped in front of you and ruffled your feathers. 
Your eyebrows raised momentarily in mock recognition. “Oh, it’s you…” you mumbled. 
His mildly expressionless features seemed to beckon you. “Cold,” he bit. “I liked you better when you were eye-fucking me earlier.” He lowly chuckled at his own joke. You found yourself once again fighting not to humor him as you felt the tips of your ears warm. He took one last inhale of his cigarette before flipping it off to the side. 
“Did you need something, stud?” You asked with a small quip, tilting your head to capture his eyes on you once again. 
He chewed on his bottom lip before leaning towards you slightly. “Would you wanna go somewhere quiet?” You smirked, raising an eyebrow at his words. “You know, to chat,” he continued slyly, emphasizing the word with a smug expression as your eyes gave away how into the prospect of chatting with him would be. 
As the two of you slipped into the closest building, you felt butterflies begin to flutter around in your stomach. One of his large hands brushed against yours, sending heat to your cheeks. “So… What did you want to talk to me about-” You stopped short realizing you didn’t know his name, quirking an eyebrow in his direction. 
“- Karl,” he finished for you, raking a hand through his hair. “I’m Karl.”
You tugged him behind you down a long hallway around the corner from the entrance, pulling him in front of you as your back thumped against the cold cinder-block wall. “It’s nice to meet you, Karl,” you murmured, pulling him down to your height and basking in his smirk. 
“Feeling’s mutual,” he grinned, pressing his lips against yours. 
You dug your fingers into Karl’s dark hair, tugging him closer to your body as the pair of you clumsily gripped at each other’s clothing. The feeling of Karl’s lips against yours sent a rush of heat spreading through your chest as his teeth pulled at your bottom lip, a moan threatening to rip from your throat. The smell of his cigarette still lingered on his clothes to mix with the dew in the air from outside. The coolness from his tongue ring was a stark contrast to his warm breath. His tongue dragged across your bottom lip and he seemed to hungrily deepen the pressure of your kiss as if he couldn’t get enough of the taste of your vanilla chapstick. 
You were thankful for the dim lighting of the secluded hallway, praying that no one would find the two of you. His hands ravenously explored your body, pinning you between him and the wall behind you as his lips began to travel towards the crook of your neck. Your brain blurred as you brazenly ground your hips into his, relishing in his sensitivity to your newly created friction as he hissed against your skin through his teeth. 
His grip tightened around your leg, fitting your bodies closer together to eliminate what little space there had been between the two of you. You let out a small moan as his tongue neared your earlobe, his low chuckle sending a rush of cold air against the wetness of the spots on your neck. You slid your hand between the both of you, palming him through his dark jeans as he nipped at your skin. His hand followed to hold yours. His head tilted away from you, a breathless moan hissing through his gritted teeth. His prominent Adam’s apple bobbed slowly as he swallowed what he could of another groan while your hand alternated pressures despite his hand squeezing your own and encouraging your tactics. You bit back an allured grin as a tattoo began to peek out from just below his collar. 
“This is fun,” he jousted, sending goosebumps to pepper your skin as he buried his face into your neck. You chuckled lightly. “Fuck, that feels so good,” he groaned into your hair.
You nudged him away from you, watching as his eyes dripped with lust for you. He surveyed you closely as you slunk down to your knees, reveling in the sight of him towering over you to brace one of his hands against the wall. You raked your nails up his thighs, eliciting a groan echoing in his chest. He settled his other hand on the side of your face, his thumb jetting out to brush against your aggravated lips still stinging from the sensation of his teeth. His jaw tightened as you slid your hands over his zipper to unclasp his pants. You couldn’t understand what had come over you, but you wanted nothing more than to see him in pleasure. 
Despite the fact that he wasn’t fully aroused, you were surprised at the mere size of him yet refused to acknowledge this fact. You hadn’t wanted him to cum too soon. 
You wrapped your hand around the base of his cock, a breath sighing across Karl’s parted lips in pleasure now that there was no barrier between you and him. You flashed your eyes back up to him, beginning to pump his length in your hand, his member stiffening as he became fully erect. Your encouragement brought a slight blush to his cheeks as he twitched beneath your touch, his hand finding purchase in your hair. You wet your lips before pressing them against the tip of his arousal, your tongue following in procession to tease against the sensitive skin. 
Karl’s fingers curled deeper into your hair as you pushed his cock into your mouth. You couldn’t ignore the heat growing between your own legs as a rasping string of curses drew from his mouth. As you began to flex your tongue against him and move your hand Karl’s head tilted back, his member beginning to throb in your mouth with lust and excitement. You began to bob your head up and down on his dick, swirling your tongue to provoke more of his lude reactions. You pulled your mouth off of him only to continue to massage his shaft with your hand, your tongue dragging against his length as he groaned. You could feel his eyes resting upon you, the flesh of his lower lip caught between his teeth as his lip ring glinted in what little light there was. 
You pushed his arousal back into your mouth, this time with the intention of taking him deeper. You looked up to make eye contact with him once again, feeling his breath hitch as you alternated your hand speeds with the movement of your head as you slowly brought him closer to the back of your throat. Tears began to brim in your eyes at the near gagging feeling you were beginning to experience, which he seemed to be getting off on the idea of. You brought yourself completely to the base of his size, a near guttural moan of your name grating passed his lips. His cock twitched at the feeling and you could tell by the blood rushing to his cheeks that he was close. The furrowed look of desire painted across his expression because of what you were doing to him alone could have undone you. 
He tugged on your hair, making you moan at the action, sending a wave of vibrations to echo against his erection. At that movement he came, sending hot streams of pleasure into your mouth to accompany the look of relief and utter leerance in his eyes. You swallowed what you could before dragging your sleeve across your lips as he zipped his jeans and dropped onto his knees in front of you, his lips capturing yours. You felt his coarse thumbs brushing away some of the tears that had slipped from your eyes as your nails dug into his sides. “My roommates are home,” he muttered between his praising kisses. “Can we head to yours? It’s my turn,” he nearly jeered. You tugged him up with you, him threading his fingers with yours to pull you behind him towards the nearest exit. 
Before you knew it, Karl’s lips were back against yours as if they were made to fit together. His praise of your work on him earlier came in the form of his hands slipping beneath your shirt, slender fingers digging into your sides as his teeth grated across the lush color of your lips. He made haste in pulling off your pants, his teeth nipping at the sensitive areas between your thighs before moving back up to tend to your neck. Your skin had seemingly yet to be marked by him as his tongue traced the valleys of your collarbones, making you moan and tighten your legs around his hips. The evanescence of his tongue ring ghosting along your neck sent heat to your core as your mind burned at what was in store for you. 
He sat back on his heels to tug off his dark sweatshirt and t-shirt. His chest was a welcome sight to you before his hands laced with yours, pushing them above your head and sealing your lips together. His hips ground against yours, the friction forcing a moan to sloppy your breathless kiss even further. You felt him smirk against your lips at your easy pleasure. You were grateful you’d treated yourself this morning to your good lingerie as his fingers slipped from your grasp to slide beneath your waistband and grip at the curvature of your ass, pressing his growing erection harder against you. 
He tugged at your bottom lip before nipping at the shell of your ear. “Are you sure you wanna do this?” His voice was low and dripping with lust as your fingers dug into the short hair near the base of his neck. You nodded almost too eagerly and he chuckled darkly. “No, I need to hear you say it.” Karl’s breath was hot against your neck. “Beg me to fuck you.” 
The husk in his voice and the feeling of his hands on your body made you whine. “Please, yes!” You groaned, “fuck me!” He pushed his hands beneath your shirt before pulling it over your head. With his hands molding to your sides, he flipped you. You heard him slip out of his pants before you felt his lips on your shoulder blade, a moan escaping your lips as he pushed your hair to the side. 
He sat back, pulling on your thighs until you were pressed up against him on your hands and knees, his stiff cock bracing against his boxers as it nudged at your heat. You moaned as he reached around to rub your bundle of nerves, his other hand kneading against your shoulder. You ground against him, urging him to fill you instead of just teasing at your orgasm. Your mind flashed to his needy expression in the dimness of the corridor, making your knees ache once again as the new sensation he was pulsing through your body making your vision hazy. 
Karl’s fingers came to a stop as he pushed your shoulders into the mattress beneath you, your thighs spreading further. He traced his cock against your entrance, a begging moan falling from your lips to egg him on. His breath fanned across your back as he snickered at your display before edging himself into you. You fisted the sheets as he bottomed out inside of you, snapping his hips against you before retracting slightly only to repeat his actions until you adjusted. His fingers dug into your hips as he leaned over you, one of his hands settled near your head as he balanced himself, continuing to sink himself into you with a nearly steady rhythm. “Like this?” He jeered, alluding to your begging statements before. Much to your dismay, you knew if you’d ever see him again after this, your begging would probably be brought up again. 
You tugged your lip between your teeth, watching as his black nails disappeared into his grip on the sheets as he seemed to be holding back with every inch of his body. You felt every movement of him inside you as if it were your first time, his soft grunts melding with your moans before his teeth bit into your shoulder, a pained and pleasurable noise escaping the depths of your chest. The tension within you began to build at a quicker pace, your body suddenly begging for relief. Karl’s other hand moved to knot in your hair, pressing you further into the soft padding beneath you as clenched around him. “Fuck, don’t do that,” he nearly growled, his words coming as a surprise to break up his panting. 
You couldn’t fight the nasty grin spreading to your face, knowing full-well he could see it despite his hellish grip on your hair. “What? I’m not allowed to edge you?” You jousted, ignoring the fact that you were nearly powerless beneath him with your body pinned to the bed and your hips under his command. 
He chuckled darkly at your comment. A sharp slap seared against your ass, sending a stinging sensation across your body to meld with the intense feeling of him inside you. “Don’t act like a brat,” he joked, pulling out of you suddenly. Your hands cramped as you loosened your grip on the sheets, just now realizing how hard you were locked onto them for support. Before you could ask any questions, Karl flipped you again. 
He chewed the inside of his cheek, briefly looking over you as if deciding what to do next. He crawled over you again, pressing a kiss to your chest before locking his lips to yours and tucking your legs into the crooks of his elbows. Your tongues melded together in a sinful dance as Karl roughly pushed into you again, a moan vibrating into your kiss. At this new angle, he was seemingly reaching deeper inside of you, teasing you closer to your climax with each of his calculated thrusts. You broke the kiss to catch your breath, groaning as he continued to pump himself inside of you. 
Your nerves jumped as you heard the front door open downstairs, Karl’s devious eyes flashing to yours as the two of you halted. “It’s my roommate…” You whispered, as he softened his hold on you but he didn’t dare to pull out of you yet. 
You could practically see the gears turning in his head as the two of you listened to her softly bustling about while she unpacked from the day. Karl moved to bury his head in the crook of your neck, one of his arms settling to the side of you to take your hand again as he bit into your skin. A strangled moan whined past your teeth as you debated what to do next. “Should we invite her to join us?” He jested, his tongue ghosting over what you could already assume were a litter of bruises painting your skin. He chuckled to himself, probably feeling the way you tensed at his comment. “Nah, actually. I don’t wanna share you,” he growled, pressing a kiss to the center of your clavicle and making your breath hitch as the scent of his previous cigarette filled your nose once again.
He took your blatant obedience to his suggestive actions as a nod to thrust into you, making you gasp shortly. He moved one of his hands to tighten around your throat, his eyes burning into yours with an animalistic desire at your grinning response. He rolled his lip ring into his mouth as he looked at you carnally. He began to pound into you at a rougher speed, making your eyes roll and your mind fuzz in pleasure. Heat spread through your body as his fingers tightened around your throat, your breathing now at his mercy as your insides coiled in retaliation at your building orgasm. 
His blazoned stare smugly watched you with pride as you moaned out his name in a string of silent mutterings. His hand moved to clamp over your mouth and his lips were near your ear as he thrust into you at an unforgiving pace. “Shh shh shh,” he tsked lowly. “She’s gonna hear,” he groaned, voice rasping and uneven with his desire getting the better of him. His other hand gained purchase on the headboard and by the clouding look in his eye from above you, you could tell he was close again. The pleasure you got from coaxing him to his first orgasm earlier still burned in the back of your mind, the thought sent a wave of enticement to your core. 
It was getting to the point where you no longer cared if your roommate heard either of you, your orgasm was becoming too hard to hold back. You tightened around him, evoking a husky moan to reverberate from his chest. He pushed a thumb over your bottom lip, biting into his own before quickening his pace to chase his own climax. The sight of you unraveling beneath him, a fucked out expression spreading across your face to match your blissed-out wave of pleasure, sent him over the edge too. 
He hungrily seized your lips in another kiss, his weight leaning on top of you as you threaded your fingers into his hair. He kissed you like you were the last sip of water and he was a man in the middle of a desert. He severed the heat between the two of you, flopping onto his back beside you. You turned your head slightly, noticing the time and shrugging from under his arm to stand up. 
“Hey, did you wanna get dinner or something?” He asked, propping himself up on his elbows. The sheets rolled off his body to cling around his waist; his hair was tousled and reaching down to obstruct his vision. His iridescent eyes watched your every move as you yanked your pants up over your thighs with a small hop. You tried to ignore the beauty that was the sheen of after-sex glow, painting his cheeks red. His features looked sharper as the sunlight peering from between the blades of your window blinds drew streaks across his face. His eyeliner was a smudged mess, something you fought not to smirk proudly at, knowing how hard he’d just worked on you. 
As you straightened your appearance to look somewhat presentable for your next lesson, you couldn’t help but notice his keen interest in you. He had proven himself to be quite the voyeur in the few hours you’d known him. “I have class actually. You can shower if you want while I’m gone, but I’d rather my roommate not get any ideas.” You perked an eyebrow at him and a smug expression flattered his features. He leaned back into your pillows, tucking his hands behind his head. 
“Maybe I’ll pay her a visit on my way out then,” he jeered, sending you a small wink. You rolled your eyes and threw your bag over your shoulder. 
You felt gross and in need of a shower, but the time you had left was already thin enough. “Whatever. Maybe you can tell her it’s rent day tomorrow?” You quipped and slipped out the door, hoping he wouldn’t make a fuss about leaving so you wouldn’t be bombarded with questions from your [hopefully] oblivious roommate. The last thing you wanted was your feminist reputation to be tarnished over a boy like Karl. Yet, the thought of Karl ruining you in any way brought heat to your cheeks slightly. 
It’d been a day or so since you’d met with Karl, and you were beginning to wonder if you’d just imagined him. Or at least you would have if your roommate hadn’t asked about him every time your phone had gone off or you had to leave for the day. 
Now as the leaves were beginning to flood with more vibrant colors, you walked at a slower pace, attempting to keep up with your roommate’s ramblings about a dinner she was planning. Pools of people streamed in and out of buildings as bells tolled in the distance as you made your way towards one of the common buildings. You hadn’t paid much mind to the handful of boys skating around the two of you until an all too familiarly framed figure brushed past you a little too close for comfort. You huffed slightly as he turned to smirk at you, his lip ring capturing your attention. “Excuse me,” you groaned, playfully. 
His face brightened as you pulled the strap of your bag further up your arm. He crouched slightly to twist his board, coming back towards you. “My bad, baby,” he cooed, swinging around you and smacking your ass lightly. 
You fought the blush threatening to spread to your cheeks at his smug display. “Are you trying to catch a sexual harassment case?” You hissed as he whizzed by you again, a grin painting his features. It was almost like he was an excited puppy, greeting his owner. His edgy appearance was almost a coarse foil character of its own when he acted like that. 
“Hey, you enjoyed it the other day,” he called back, as he hopped off his skateboard and regrouped with his friends, earning an eye roll from you.
Your roommate popped her gum from beside you, indicating her presence which you’d forgotten among the shenanigans with Karl. “Holy fuck. Can I have a go too?” She jeered, making you inhale sharply. 
“Good luck. He bites,” you jousted, glancing over your shoulder, which he seemed to have been awaiting as he sent back a cheeky wink.

Grief
Chapter two: Rebellion
Din Djarin x Reader x Cassian Andor
Series Summary: Raised on Mandalore, born into a bloodline of warriors, no one ever expected for the daughter of a Clan leader to go rogue. Leaving the life of security and making the journey to fight in the war against the empire meant many things... giving up the way of the Mandalore, and giving up a solid future. A future that involves an arranged marriage to a foundling from another clan.
Chapter warnings: some brief angst, this ones pretty mellow ngl
Words: 3.3k
A/n: i was not expecting such a good response from the first chapter but bruh you guys are amazing- anyway here's part two of my brain's misery
Part 2/?
Tumblr media
The trip from Mandalore to the planet of Dantooine was long, and still ongoing. We all took turns, watching to see if we were any closer. After each jump from hyperspace, the transport would stop at a space refueling tank, before slowly going onward toward the destination. We must have been traveling several systems across the galaxy. We had a few laughs, mainly while watching Gander try and steal Shyloh's food from his knapsack while he was sleeping. Most of the other time we all just sat in silence, up until this point.
"What do you think we're all going to do once we get to the rebel base?" Merc raised his voice slightly, barely capturing our attentions as we had all been dozing off, and Shyloh was taking watch at the view point.
"What do you mean?" I had asked, not quite sure of what he was getting at. I sat up straighter against the wall, showing my interest in the newfound conversation.
"What branch do you think you'll end up in?" He was in a daze as he spoke, almost unsure of his intentions of bringing it up. His dark eyes were nearly emotionless under his furrowed brow.
"I hadn't really thought about it. I would say maybe something like mechanics," I said, thinking of the best possible use of my talents. I'm sure there's plenty of mechanical help already assisting the rebels, but with the galactic empire growing it's forces by the day, they needed all the help they could get.
"What about flying?" Shyloh perked up from his seat at the window.
"What about it?" I asked, curious as to why he suddenly thought of the new topic.
"You could do it of you wanted to. Be a pilot, I mean. You have the skills," He told me, but I scoffed. He wasn't in any way shape or form was making an ounce of sense at all.
"Speeder control races are a bit different from piloting fighters against the imperial troops don't you think?" I laughed at the idea, but he rolled his eyes, persistent with his opinion.
"It's less different than you think it is. Also mind you, I never saw you lose a race," He objected, but I wasn't having any of it.
"That's because when I raced, my own credits were on the line," I joked, seeing what he would try and come up with next, only to be met with a cold hard stare, before an answer that would shake me to my core.
"Well, now the freedom of the galaxy is on the line."
My smile dropped from my face and I turned to face the other two, who were looking back at me. They didn't expect that answer either. Shyloh was well known to be a boy of few words, and only really spoke to his friends and family. He was a founding just like the rest of them, but he had been with ths clan longer, due to having been saved from a war infested home as a baby.
He could sometimes be very wise, even if he didn't think he was being so. We weren't sure what it was, but he had this sort of presense that was so powerful. We knew when he would walk in a room, or walk out of it. It's like the air would change. Much like it changed now, with his words rendering us all speechless.
The silence was uncomfortable, and I was the one who left it unresloved, so I spoke up in favor of my crewmates to not keep quiet any longer.
"Perhaps I shall see where I am needed first."
"Perhaps you shouldn't be so afraid to explore an option you would excel in," He again rendered me speechless, and I did not have anything else to say this time. I was young, but my mind was not. I could comprehend thoughts the same way that an adult could. I could handle things just as well and if not better than some, too. He was right. I was simply afraid.
"I think we're finally here," Shyloh said, turning back to look out of the view port again.
"Its about time," Gander stood up, slinging his knapsack over his shoulder and standing at the transport door waiting for it to slide up.
We all followed suit, but Shyloh stopped us and held up a warning finger to stay still.
"There's manding droids, we gotta sneak off carefully. They don't look like bulk but they could be armed," He suggested. We were not yet at the rebel base, meaning these were probably droids of the land, and belonged to whoever oversees the exports on this planet.
When the panel opened, we were all careful to first peek out of the transport. This planet was nothing at all like Mandalore, which was dry and hot. This planet was lush with plants. And the air was slightly humid. It was a very welcome contrast from where I spent most of my life.
We all sneakily bolted out of the transport, ducking down behind one of the cargo units placed outside. We saw an opening in what looked like some sort of forrest patch.
There was a chill in the air on this planet, even in the middle of the day. Mandalore only ever got colder at night, when the sun was down and the moons were shining.
"That was close." Merc mumbled as we began to turn around and head into the grasslands, trying to find the rebel base.
We made sure no one was behind us, and were careful to check if any droids had caught sight of us.
We all went to turn around, but as soon as I did, I collided with someone's chest, rather hard might I add, sending me to the ground on my bottom. I didn't even collide that hard with the person, it was just the shock that sent me backwards.
"Need a hand?" I looked up to see a man, a sly smirk on his face as he held his hand out towards me. I took it without question, heaving myself up from the grassy, and somewhat muddy ground beneath me.
"You must be our contact," Merc smiled, and the man nodded, turning and begining to lead us to a speader that was hovering nearby behind a large set of trees.
"We must be careful not to use names outside of the base. I would be more than happy to formally introduce myself once we reach our final destination," He chuckled. It was only now that I realized he had an accent, a thick one. Probably left over from his native tongue that spilled out his mouth when he spoke galactic basic.
I know that sometimes my accent slips in when i speak. I never had to worry about using Mando'a around my fellow crewmates. They were foundlings, and hadn't been raised to speak it. Shyloh was, but he prefered to use galactic basic anyways because he had forgotten so much of it.
We all boarded the speader, Gander and I sitting on the back, our legs hanging off as we held onto the side bars.
"This might be a bumpy ride for you two," The man said, looking at both of us before giving me a wink. I scrunched my face up, not sure how else to react to it. The man was definitely on the younger side, but I wasn't sure how he could possibly see an interest in me.
Maybe he did and I just didn't want him to. Maybe I was still hinged to the idea that I would go back to Mandalore someday and marry my betrothed. I was so young, and hadn't the slightest idea of what feelings I could possibly be harboring, if any at all.
I couldn't deny I found him appealing. Anyone would, at least any human with eyes that is.
His hair was dark, and so were his eyes. He had a bit of stubble along his jaw and above his lip. He was somewhat scruffy looking, but in a good way.
As the speeder went through the forresty stretch of pathway, I kept turning around to catch a glimpse of him. Each time I did I had to look away fast because Gander would give me weird stares.
I would play it off like I was simply taking in the view of the green planet around me, and he wouldn't seem to notice.
After a while, with quite a few twists and turns, and Gander and I nearly falling off the speeder twice, we arrived to our destination.
We all hopped out of the transport, following the man into a giant cargo port. As soon as I looked to my left I could see an X-wing fighter in all it's glory. I had never seen a real one before, just heard stories and viewed holograms.
"Alright. We have about twelve other recruits arriving on this base today, so you will all be attending orientation this evening. As for right now, you look beat, and should rest. PX-74 will assign you to your bunks," He said, gesturing to the droid before beginning to walk away with a nod, but I stopped him before he could take a step.
"Wait a minute... I believe I recall something about a formal introduction," I crossed my arms over my chest and shifted my weight, trying to give off the look of having as much confidence as I could muster. I was putting on a facade, possibly to make me seem more mature. I didn't know the real reason.
He smirked, raising an eyebrow as he scanned me up and down with his dark eyes.
"Cassian Andor," He smiled, then looking right back at me with questioning eyes. "And how about you... you got a name?"
"Y/n from clan Maldrix," I said, my confidence wavering a little when he looked at me the way that he did.
"She's a Mandalorian," Shyloh perked up, and I sent him a warning glare.
"Yeah, sixth generation," Merc added, his cocky smile pasted on his face for all to see and be annoyed by.
"A mandalorian? I've heard the stories but I haven't ever met one. Are you-?"
"I'm not," I cut him off before this got twisted into one big lie. "My mother and father are."
"Doesn't that make you one too?" Cassian furrowed his brow but his tone was somewhat joking and humorous.
"No, it does not," I wasn't harsh with the way my voice came out, but I was firm. Though I wasn't one of them, the mandalorians and all they stood for were very important to me.
"Mandalorian is not a race, it's a creed. Some of the best Mandalorians I ever had the pleasure of knowing didn't even have a bloodline from Mandalore. They were foundlings, like these three," I explained, laying out the facts so that there was no longer any confusion lingering, but now there was a tension that was thicker than the trees on this planet.
"Even still, she can fight just as good as any soldier taken the creed," Merc jumped in, trying to clear the air, and thankfully, it seemed to be working.
"She flies even better," Shyloh mentioned, and I swore I could kill him. He was just so pushy sometimes, even with his massive sense of wisdom.
"You fly?" This peaked Andor's interest, and immediately he seemed more engaged towards me.
"I'm not as good as they say I am," I admitted, but he shook his head.
"No, really... if you can fly we could really use you. We're putting together a team for an air raid that's set to happen about one month's time from now," He came up closer to me and stared me in the eye.
"I'm just a kid, I might really let you down," I joked, trying not to get too caught up in his eye contact. His eyes were much darker when you could see them closely.
"I tell you what, I can arrange for you to have time in the flight simulator after orientation. If we feel you would be an asset, we can add you to the strike team," He said, nodding along to his words. I understood that they might need backup, and if push came to shove, I could maneuver faster than any pilot back on Mandalore. I never lost a race, nor did I ever lose a bet.
"Okay."
I could tell I was blushing from the extra attention I was receiving. I wasn't so sure what about me was so enticing that I deserved it.
"I have to go now to pick up the other recruits from a drop station. I leave you in the capable hands of PX-74," He said, returning to his speeder and letting us be lead off into the base.
"There are only so many open bunks left. Two of you will share one, and the other two will be placed with bunk mates." The metalized voice of the PX unit was strong in our ears, and we all followed after him as we ventured into the long hallway at the end of the cargo port.
The droid stopped at a door about midway through the hall and opened it using the side panel on the wall, revealing a young man that seemed almost younger than me even.
"One of you will be staying here. Which will it be?" The droid asked, turning towards our small group.
"I'll take this one," Shyloh said, stepping forward into the bunk to meet his new roomate.
The boy looked a bit frightened at first, but because of Shyloh's powerful yet calming energy, he seemed to relax almost immediately.
He turned and smiled back at us, waving before the IG unit closed the door and kept us going.
He walked us down passed several more doors, maybe more than twenty, before he stopped at another one and opened it up.
Inside sat a young woman, her legs crossed as she sharpened a knife with a smirk on her face. She looked up and made eye contact with me first.
"I wondered how long it would be before they got someone else in here." Her voice was somewhat low and raspy, but it was kind of soothing in a way.
"One of you-" the IG unit began again, but I stopped him, stepping into the bunk with the girl inside.
"I'll take this one." I smiled at the two boys left before the door closed on my new bunk.
I moved to set my knapsack down on the bottom bunk, but my roomate stopped me.
"Bottom one's mine." She said, looking up from her sharpened knife again to inform me of the sleeping arrangements.
I instead threw my knapsack on the top bunk, trying to climb up into it, but failing miserably.
"You need a hand?" She chuckled, watching my lame attempts to swing my leg up high enough. The fact that there was no ladder should have tipped me off.
"I'll be okay, thanks," I laughed, keeping my attitude loose and positive, though this bunk bed was already causing unnecessary problems for me.
"If you say so," She chuckled again, seeing as I finally managed to haul myself up and onto the bed.
"First try," I joked, and she laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world. I think that we would be getting along, because no one ever laughed at my lame sense of humor.
I laid back, resting my arms behind my head and staring blankly at the ceiling.
"So, where are you from?" She piped up, not taking her eyes away from her previous knife. That thing must mean a lot to her.
"Mandalore," I let out, trying to get comfortable on this lumpy pad that was under my head.
"Actually?" She seemed surprised. Everyone had heard of the planet that the mandalorian tribes had resided upon, and usually they understood what kind of people the place would breed.
"Yeah. Left just in time. Tomorrow's my birthday," I shut my eyes continuing our converastion with one less sense. It didn't matter, though. I was still fully awake.
"What would you have had to do?" She pondered curiously, finally looking up towards the bunk in interest.
"Well, to put it short... tomorrow I would have had to swear my freedom away. No living being would ever be able to see my face again till the day I died," I laid it out plain and simple, and she seemed to understand.
"How old are you?" She asked, her trail of questions getting longer and longer.
"Sixteen tomorrow," I answered, feeling a bit more tired now that my eyes had been closed, and the lights in the bunk rooms were dim.
"You're just a baby," She scoffed. "How could they possibly expect you to make that choice so young?"
"It's just the way it's always been there. This is the way," I remembered. Those words used to be said to me nearly ten times a day, and now they only rung in my mind as a memory.
"That's insane. The people on your planet must be crazy to take an oath like that," She muttered.
"You would think so... the strangest part about it is that there are kids brought back as foundlings that take the creed without hesitation. They don't even belong to a bloodline, they just feel as though they have right to the creed as much as anyone else," I silently remembered Din for a moment. He was the bravest, strongest, most loyal Mandalorian I'd ever known. A foundling.
I began to get bitter at the thought of leaving him. He could have made things better for me if I had just given him a chance. I had to let my head get in the way. I needed to think about something else.
"What about you, huh? Where you from?" I asked, changing the subject as quickly and painlessly as possible.
"Alderaan. Born and raised," She said, getting up from the floor and dropping herself on the bottom bunk.
"You been a lot of places since then?" I asked, but she first let out a heavy sigh before speaking.
"Only too many to count," She said, settling herself on the bunk like I had done.
"Must be nice..." I muttered. Finally able to relax on this pathetic excuse for a bed pad. Of course I couldn't complain. I'm the one who chose the life of the rebellion, including their miserable bedding. "I've never been anywhere outside my home planet until now. I haven't even seen the entirety of my own planet."
"Most new comers are the same. They haven't been anywhere else, then they come here and its like we're moving non stop. Base to base, on just about every planet in this galaxy," She reassured. At least now I didn't feel so out of place.
"How long have you been stationed here?" I asked, unsure of how long I would get to adjust to things.
"A few months. It's likely we'll have to leave soon. There's rumors of the imperials knowing our location," She answered, rolling her eyes, thought I couldn't see from the top bunk.
"You're kidding," I scoffed. After just getting here, I might have to up and leave again. I'll have to learn to accept this new life, it's what I wanted.
"I wish I was, kid," She added.
"I have a name," I retorted back, not a fan of the nickname 'kid'. I waited for her to ask me what it was, but when she stayed silent I sighed. "It's Y/n."
"I'll call you what you are... now get some rest, they'll come pounding on that door in a few hours for orientation," She said, as though she somehow had grown to a habit of mothering me only five minutes after we met. I dropped the conversation and drifted off to sleep, my eyes were too heavy to keep open anymore anyway.

All Because Of You
Summary: The reader goes to find Castiel before the angels get to him.
Castiel x M!Reader
Tumblr media
Castiel being human, losing his grace, was perhaps one of the most interesting yet hardest thing you had faced yet. Forget God. Forget Lucifer. Castiel human topped all of those for a simple reason. Now, it was incredibly hard to keep down your own human feelings that had stirred up for him a long time ago, and plus, yanno, all the Angels and Demons on the hunt for this one Angel who rebelled against Heaven and all that.
It's been a few days since you left the bunker to go look for Castiel. Sure, Dean and Sam weren't happy, but you knew you couldn't wait any longer for them. It's been weeks since Castiel went on the run and sitting around doing nothing but worrying about him was not good for your mind. You needed to see him, protect him, and make sure he was safe and by your side.
It took a three days to get to Detroit, the last place anyone saw Castiel or 'Clarence', as he called himself. You got the led from a group of homeless individuals that talked to Cas before he picked up a ride in on a truck that was heading to Detroit. This was probably the hardest part of the search. Lucky for you, growing up with the Winchester boys helped when it came to this kind of situation. Still, with all your skills, it was Detriot. A large city with many people, but the people may be your advantage.
"Excuse me," you hummed out to a man who was currently making burgers on the side of the road. The only thing that led you talking to him was Castiel's vessals love for red meat. Now that he was human, Jimmy was probably talking to him a lot more now. "Have you seen a dark haired, blue hair man around here? He would have probably acted a bit out of it?"
"Uh," the man thought for a moment. "Nah, sorry, no one really comes to mind."
"It's alright, thank you." You sighed, parting from the man and getting back on the move.
You took the rest of the day nonstop looking for Castiel with no leads whatsoever. Person after person either said they didn't remember someone like that, or saw so many people that day that it was impossible to even try to remember one man. This race against the clock was getting harder and harder, and frankly, it was getting irritating. All you wished for was Castiel to be safe. He could be hungry, or homeless--but safe was all you wanted cause in the end you knew you could fix both of this issues--all of his issues-- if you just found him.
As you were deep within your mind to try and make up a new way to find the fallen angel, the rain that touched your skin shoved you back into reality. Your eyes gazed as the raindrops that wet your skin before looking up at the dark clouds that surrounded you. A deep sigh filled with worry released from your lips before taking a few steps forwards. Perhaps those few steps were all you needed. Well, that and the rain. When you took those steps you heard a noise, one that would capture almost anyone’s attention. You paused, stood still before turning your head down an ally that seemed to be behind a restaurant.
Down the dark and rainy ally was a man who wrapped himself with this black hoodie he wore. His hair was soaked, not to mention his clothes, but that freezing cold look in his eyes broke your heart beyond anything you've felt before. The darkness obscured the man's face until you took a few steps down the ally. At first you were going to offer the man some food and direct him to a nearby shelter, but the minute he quickly shot his head up to see who was approaching him, everything changed. No matter how much time apart you have from him, you can never forget his face but you noticed that the first thing to go about a person was their voice. You thought that was the saddest thing to ever exist but when you heard it call out to you of all people, remembering his voice again was like seeing him for the first time all over again.
"[Name]?" Castiel croaked out.
You didn't speak but instead nodded to confirm it was you, and not a part of his imagination.
With the weather, you didn't waste any time to get both Castiel and you some shelter. A few minutes of pretending to be someone else and using another's money got you a relatively small but sufficient apartment for the time being.
When Castiel entered the apartment was dark given the time of day, but you quickly turned on the lights after you shut and locked the front door.
"Wow, it’s beautiful." Castiel commented as he looked around.
"It's an apartment that cost a 2,000 dollar deposit, it better be beautiful." You replied as you began to lock and shut all the entrances which included the windows as well.
Castiel kept his eyes on you as you did so, but when he noticed you were finished with your task he asked, "How did you find me?"
You turned to him and placed your hands into your pockets. "Oh, yanno, all my hunter skills went into work and here I am."
"Why aren't Sam and Dean with you?" He asked curiously.
You sighed at the question before taking a seat on the sofa that was provided with the apartment. "I didn't want to wait around. They thought it was dangerous, and it probably was but I don't know, I just couldn't stand being in that bunker wondering if you’re alive or dead."
Castiel's head went down for a moment, his own human mind now spinning with thoughts he wondered if he would ever have if he was still an angel.
"I apologize for worrying you." He suddenly said in more quiet tone. "That was never my intention."
"I know." You smiled before patting down the space next to you. "Come sit and lemme see what you got there."
Castiel's head went on a tilt before he remembered the wound he had on his left upper arm he got from fighting one of the many angels that were out on the hunt for him. The former angel complied with the request, mostly because of his trust and fondness of you.
When he sat down, you turned towards him and began to unbutton his white shirt after he took off the soaked hoodie. Castiel watched your attentively as you did so. The way your hands played with his shirt and the focus that was seeped deep into your eyes as you did so. Once his shirt was open, you gazed back up and into his eyes. He watched a faint smile, a comforting one, stretched across your lips before slipping the shirt off his shoulders and exposing his entire upper body.
Your eyes shot to the bloody rage he used around his arm, mostly just to stop the bleeding. Worry of an infection took place in your mind, but luckily that didn't seem to be the case.
"Look at you," you whispered. The words catching Castiel's attention quicker than ever before. "You're lucky this isn't infected."
"I suppose so." He replied under his breath as he continued to watch you, never once looking away.
You hovered your finger over the wound that was slanted across his bicep. The fact that it hadn't healed wedging itself into your mind making you say, "You really are human."
"Yes." Castiel said. "The whole experience has been very tiring."
You laughed at that, the chuckle that came from your chest making the former angel experience something that he hasn't before. Sure, he got chills from the cold or rain, but never from a simple laugh.
Next, you began to examine the wound. Overall, it seemed to be healing fine but you really wanted to clean up the dried blood that pooled around the actual cut. So, you grabbed a cotton pad and dabbed some rubbing alcohol on the surface.
"This may sting a bit," you warned Cas before gently patting it against the wound. You watched his face scrunch up a bit as he got used to the stinging sensation. Though, in the end it seemed like he took the pain rather well.
You smiled as you placed the pad on the table next you, your hands picking up some proper bandages before commenting, "You took that better than Dean. You getting used to being human?"
"Ah, it's all new to me. Hunger. Cold." He explained, his eyes meeting yours as he said, "This feeling of being alone."
You stared at Cas for a moment. Yes, he was still the same, and yet so much about him was different. He was learning how to understand human emotions, and after all this time it just took being human to truly get it. To you, it explained how truly complex human emotions were. Something about this Cas pained you in more than words could explain, and for some reason the desire to comfort him was absolutely overwhelming.
"You aren’t alone anymore." You said. Your mind focusing on one action, and one alone. You knew it would disappear until you acted on it, so, you carefully leaned in and gave the man a gentle kiss upon his cheek. The stubble he grew while away tickling your skin. When you backed up, you gave a kind smile and said, "I won't let you be alone, I promise."
Castiel remained silent, yet his eyes remained connected with yours until something clicked in his mind and they darted right down to your soft, vulnerable lips. He would be lying if he said he never studied them before, but right now the urge he wanted to act on for so long was stronger than ever. When he noticed you doing the same, something snapped. Castiel didn't waste any time to lean in and connect his lips with yours. At first, something told him not to rush or else you'd get scared away. So, he waited for you to make the next move and when he felt your lips sensually move against his, his next move was to do the same. At first, he really had no idea how to go about kissing and all he wanted to do was to impress you in the best way he could. So, he mimicked you, but if you had your eyes open and noticed his furrowed brows, you would instinctively tell he had absolutely no idea what was going on. All he knew was that with you, it felt better than he could have ever imagined.
Exploring your body was perhaps one of the best things he had gotten to experience as a human. Everything was so overwhelming in a way that he never would have dreamed. Though, perhaps the best thing about the entire thing was that it was with you. The way your squirmed underneath him, the sounds you made when he pleasured you, not to mention the way you made him feel was something he wouldn't trade up for the world to the point where he felt almost saddened when his body tired out on you.
Both of you laid on your backs, the sheets covering up to your abdomens, with this dazed looks in your eyes. Still, with that look something in your human mind wanted him to say something. Say anything.
You turned your head to him, his gaze still aimed up. "Well? Say something."
Castiel took in a deep breath, his eyes darting around as you noticed him try to think of something until he said, "There aren't words."
You stared at him before turning on your side, your body still facing him. "So, it was okay?"
This was the time Castiel turned to make eye contact with you. His injured arm raised, the palm of his hand against the back of his head. He stared at you for a moment before saying with a small smile, "Very much so."
You smiled a bit to yourself until you noticed his face go from happy to concerned, which prompted you to get a bit more serious for him. After all, you didn't want to make him feel embarrassed.
"Um.." he mumbled out. His eyes darting down and up again in a nervous fashion as he asked, "What I did, that was, uh.. correct?"
You couldn't help a large smile to snake itself across your lips as you nodded with a soft, "Very much so."
"Good," he said with a look that mirrored yours. And the smile he shined was almost designed to make you even more infatuated with him. And that laugh after--God that laugh--hearing it was everything to you.
You stared at him for a moment before calling his name. His head turning to you as your prompted yourself up and into his chest. He couldn't exactly make eye contact with you, but just having you right next to him, especially in this state, was more than he could ask for.
"Before, my promise? I'd like to add on to it." You suddenly said. The words confusing Castiel greatly, after all, the promise you made to him before was like music to his ears. What more could you say that could make him even more of a fool for a human like you?
"You don't have to." Cas said.
"But I want to." You cut him off and took a deep breath. You turned your head a bit, snuggling into him more and giving him a soft, loving kiss on his chest before saying, "I promise to protect you. To the end of the line because you mean more than family to me."
Castiel didn't waste anytime to take his arm around you, holding you closer if that was even possible. The words you spoke probably meant more to him than anything he's heard in his life. After all, with you, it was like you changed him from the inside out in ways that he never even imagined when he first met you.
"I promise as well, [Name]."

Can I request how Lisa and Sucrose would react to there long time female friend confessing romantic feelings for them? and maybe like first date ideas?
i’ve always loved you 
Warning -> SFW, fluff (kissing) 
Character X FM Reader | Anthology 
Includes:  Sucrose, Lisa
Sucrose
She’s so shocked! She honestly wonders if she really understood you? What you just said to her cannot be accurate, right? 
“Sucrose … I like you.” You state, your eyes moving from her and down to the thumb you’ve been clenching in your fist for a while now. 
“ ...w-what? Oh, you mean l-like as a friend? Well, I am quite fond of you too.” She’s clearly flustered and since she either didn’t seem to get your first confession, or was playing it off as a joke, you try again. 
“Not like that, I have feelings for you.” Reaching out to her arm you hope the connection will make the confession more clear. The color of her cheeks turn bright pink as she comes to realize what you meant, and the reaction that follows is so adorable you think you’ll die. 
The bottle in her hands slips from her grasp as she exclaims and pulls her hands to cover her mouth. The crashing bottle splatters around your feet while she takes a second to register all of these things happening at once.
“Ah! I’m s-so sorry … let me g-get something to clean it up … with …” She turns around and grabs a nearby towel but you’ve already started on the mess by the time she returns. “N-no let me get that, it was m-my mess.” Her hand extends toward the glass but you capture her fingers before they can reach. Elegantly, you pull them to your lips and give them a quick peck before letting her take control of them again. 
“It’s okay, I wouldn’t want you to get hurt.” 
She’s so flustered, how is it that someone like you can like someone as unprepared for love as her - she just cannot understand 
Her heart is pounding so hard in her chest, her mind is going a mile a minute and all she can think about how incredible you look in front of her 
She wants to reach out and touch you, but her hand is still so hot from where you kissed 
You finish cleaning up the rest of the glass before dumping it into the garbage bin. Looking down, Sucrose hasn’t moved from her crouched position and you hope your confession didn’t totally ruin the relationship you had with her. 
“Listen, I know that was sudden. I just … I don’t know,” You rub the back of your arm and squeeze the skin there. “I have liked you for so long and I really wanted to tell you … anyway if you don’t feel the same or whatever you …” “NO!” She shoots up and catches you off-guard. 
“Oh … okay…”
“Oh no, I mean … I’m sorry, I like you ... “ Clasping her fingers together and pressing them against to her legs, she avoids your gaze but bravely continues, “more than a f-friend. I like you, too.” 
Archons, she’s so cute? You can’t hold back anymore and with emboldened confidence you lean forward and press your lips against her hot cheek. She practically explodes, a huge gust of wind erupts from her and knocks several more things off the counter, papers scatter, containers shift, and unconfined specimens are lost on the wind. 
“Ah … I’m sorry.” She covers her face and you respond with giddy laughter. 
“Cute.”
You love to watch her get excited and to know she likes you back? Well, you are just over the moon 
Your first date idea is something you know she will enjoy. You want to make sure she is comfortable and so the first thing that comes to your mind is taking her on a little adventure  - somewhere she can explore, someplace to study or conduct research - if she smiles that’s all that matters to you
“Look at this!! I’ve only ever seen this species in books. I wonder if the season and weather have an impact on it’s growth cycle.” She bent close to the plant, her fingers cupping ever so gently underneath it as not to disturb its existence. She was always so generous, be it people, animals, or plants she was the kindest person you had ever met. 
“You look like you were meant to be here.” You express, taking up space at her side. 
“Really? I just really love to unearth secrets. When I finally get the answer to a question that’s been on my mind, I feel exhilarated by the accomplishment. Perhaps, I should ... adjust my excitement?” 
“I will never hold you back in your love for research, that’s why I choose this location for our date.” 
“Ah! Yes, this is a d-date. You’re right, what should … what do we do on dates?” 
“We are doing it right now.”
“Are we …?” 
“Yes, are you having fun?” You asked, tracking her gaze with the movement of your head, your question light but important. 
“Yes!” 
“Then perfect, the date is going well.” Her face shifts hues and for the thousandth time today, the word cute runs through your mind. 
Lisa
She already knows - she’s known for such a long time and is honestly impressed that you had the guts to finally tell her your true feelings 
Lisa is wildly observant, she has to be in order to stop people from slipping one too many books into their bags without following the rules of the library. So, she’s clearly picked up the different ways you act between her and some of the other people you commonly interact with 
She especially can spot the discrepancies between her, Kaeya, and Jean. When you talk to Kaeya, his flirtatious, forward jokes fall to the ground without any reaction - you might play back, if you’re feeling cheeky, but your face never shifts 
When you talk to Jean and she leans in close to you, you act as if it’s anyone on the planet, a twig will make you react more than she does - but when you are around her? You become a stuttery, fidgety mess, and if she ever makes a more pointed joke - ;) - you practically shut down 
You find her standing in front of row after row of books, her arm extended above her as she reaches to place a returned book back onto the shelf. She’s so elegant, and when she is in her element she’s the most stunning thing you’ve ever laid your eyes on. You didn’t know that someone could have such an impact on you. 
“Lisa?” You call out to her, respectful of the rules of the library. She turns and already your heart is racing. “Do you have a second?” 
“For you my dear, I have all the time in the world.” She holds the remaining books against her chest, and, even though she’s wearing her hat, you are still transfixed by the face that’s partially hidden. 
“I wanted to tell you this for a long time … is it okay if we talk here or…?” She chuckles, placing the books on one of the tables and walking toward you. The smell of dark roses pressing against your nose as she enters your space. 
“Here is perfect, cutie. What do you want to share with me, hmm?” She’s a bit taller than you so when you find yourself looking at her face it’s almost always drawn to her lips. 
“I’m sure … well, no .. I mean I know that you’re … ah how do I …” 
“Take your time.” She reaches for your hair and the closeness of her wrist to your face breaks you. 
“I like you!” You practically shout, covering your mouth in your hands at the realization of your outburst. Slipping your head further behind your fingers you hide your embarrassment from her. 
Instead of scolding you, or reminding you to be quiet, she laughs and the sound is so lovely it pulls you from your hiding place. 
“I was wondering when you were finally going to tell me your little secret.” 
“You mean, you knew?” 
“Of course I knew, I’m very observant and I can’t keep my eyes off of something so adorable, now can I?” She laughs again, her fingers sliding along your jaw and toward your chin. There she lifts your head and moves in for the kill. Her lips connect with yours and it’s electric, you wonder if she somehow sent a shock of her vision through the contact. As she pulls away, her smile is so grand you close your eyes again. 
She is honored to have your affection, and she will absolutely lord that over everyone - she has the most prized book in all the collection, if you let her explain her admiration for you - hopefully, you can handle her 
Now that she has chosen you, you want to show her experiences that will always remind her that she made the best choice. You’ve taken her to libraries and bookstores that are hidden from most people's eyes. You’ve gone on adventures to explore ancient domains and ruins in search for historic knowledge, you even traveled to Liyue to meet the ever knowledgeable consultant of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. You were greeted with warm tea and unending information.  
Now, you’ve brought her to the vast fields which surround Mondstadt, the two of you nestled under the stars each keeping the other warm. She feels so good resting against you, her back pressing firmly into your chest as she relaxes under the night sky. You can push your face into her hair and tighten your grip around her as you relish the notion that she is yours and you are hers. 
She’s shared with you her knowledge of the stars, the things she’s read in books and how impactful they are. Lisa has pointed out all the constellations to you and you’re sure that no matter how many times she shares this information you’ll never tire of hearing her voice. 
“Oh look, a shooting star. It’s customary to make a wish, so I’m told.” She presses further against you and practically squeezes out your words. 
“I don’t know what I could possibly wish for other than you.” She turns and looks into your eyes and you kiss her passionately as if hers are the only lips you will ever taste again.

Previous --- Next
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I just feel like you aren’t into it…into me.” Hana looks down at her hands in her lap. “I want you to be, of course—actually, let’s forget this.” She looks up at Taehyung, her thin lips set into a firm line. “Your birthday is tomorrow, I want you to have a good time.”
“Hana…” Taehyung looks at her, his confused expression only growing. “I do—”
“I said let’s forget it.” Her strained smile only concerns him. “I’ll be bringing along a few girlfriends, that’s fine right?”
“Uh,” Taehyung tries looking into her empty eyes but fails, “Sure. Yeah, that’s fine.”
Taehyung bites down on his bottom lip as he recalls some of his last days before the island…that memory is over 6 months old. There’s no way Hana waited for him…at least, at this point he hopes not. But he realizes how right she was…she could feel that he wasn’t 100% into it—into her. The guys were right too. The sad part is…he knew too. But Jimin was right, it’s because he felt lonely and like he’s just getting older and he needs someone. But now…
Images of you, the last 6 months, the time you two have spent together is racing through his mind, flashing pictures of your smiling face. He internally crumbles. Your face is so pretty, he thinks. Your face when you laugh, when you smile, when you cry. Every expression you have ever made and have yet to make is beautiful art to him.
Taehyung notices the sun setting through his window and he knows the time has come. He hopes he can control himself…he’s a respectful man but no person has drove him as insane as you do. How will he handle touching you again? How will he handle his lips exploring your lips? Tasting you? An entire minute? Lord have mercy on his soul. Not because a minute is a long time but because a minute is just not enough.
~
“What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck?” you mumble under your breath as you stare at yourself in your bathroom mirror. You…you look at yourself in disbelief because what the hell are you wearing? What’s with this outfit? Your ass cheeks are literally hanging out of these shorts and your cleavage is just stupid out there. You’re wearing red matching bra and panties and for what? What are you expecting? It’s just some kissing! You groan out loud and walk inside your closet, ready to choose another outfit. You slip on some different shorts—ones that cover your ass and a long t shirt. You keep the racy red panties and bra though.
You go back to the mirror and stare at yourself. Taehyung said he wants to kiss you. He said it and you wish, you so badly wish you could have had the courage to tell him you also want to kiss him. But you don’t know if that’s a good idea. If you guys continue to cross the line…what will that mean?
Suddenly there’s knocking on your bedroom door, your head whips in the direction and you sigh. He’s here. It must be night, you’ve been in your bathroom for who knows how long! You take one last look in the mirror, nod your head and turn your body towards the door.
You reach your bedroom door and sigh out again, are you ready to face him?
“I know you’re standing there…” You hear Taehyung on the other side of the door, you can’t help but crack a small smile. “Come on, I’ll be downstairs.”
Then you hear his footsteps get further and further away as you lightly bang your head on the door. Why are you freaking out? This was your idea! Finally, you open the door and see no sign of Taehyung so you walk into the hallway and make your way downstairs.
You find Taehyung sitting on the living room sofa, he’s staring straight ahead, licking his drying lips. Once he feels your presence he’s turning his head to face you, his eyes narrowing.
“You’re here.” He says with his deep voice, “Shall we?” he gestures to the spot next to him on the couch.
You nod and walk to the other side of the couch, sitting down next to him. You leave a little space between your bodies and Taehyung smirks at you.
“You’ll have to get closer if you want to kiss me.” He says lowly, “Since you want to.”
“Right…” you whisper, scooting closer to him.
Taehyung looks at you for a moment and his eyes soften.
“Are you sure about this?” he asks quietly. “We can—”
“I’m sure.”
Taehyung exhales deeply and nods his head, licking his lips repeatedly again.
“Okay. The timer is on the table—”
“I’ll set it for a minute and 10 seconds.”
“Why 10 seconds?”
“So we have time to…” You pause, biting your lip. “…To get into it.”
Taehyung raises his brows and his mouth forms an ‘o’ then he is nodding his head.
“Okay, makes sense.”
“I’ll start it now…”
Taehyung inches a little closer to you, his knees touching yours and you gasp when you feel his hand squeeze your thigh.
“Relax.” Taehyung leans into you, his mouth at your ear. “Relax for me.”
You can’t help the gulp that pushes down your throat, you can’t help the absolute shiver you feel that shoots down your spine.
“Okay…” you agree, “3…2…1” and you’re pressing the start button on the timer and setting it in your lap. You look up at Taehyung expectantly only to find his gaze directly on your lips. Taehyung thinks your lips look as soft as they usually do and he’s desperate to get a feel of them. He brings the hand that was on your thigh to your jaw, he cups his large hand around it and you swallow hard. He guides your face closer to his as he watches your eyelids become half lidded. He leans further into you until you feel his puffy lips covering your own with a soft, slow kiss. His kiss is tender and controlled, he moves against you slowly. Fuck, this feels amazing.
You feel yourself melting into a puddle as his lips move against your lips, they’re so soft and taste so sweet. You finally respond to his sweet smooches with your added pressure. You kiss him back harder, but not too hard. You kiss him back with passion. He moves his hands from your face to your hair, he tugs on it as he deepens the kiss and you moan into his mouth as you wrap your hands around his neck. You can’t help but sigh between his parted lips and pull back, away from him.
“Is-Is everything okay?” he asks, concerned. His brows are pulled together and he’s slightly panting. You don’t answer him though, you only admire his face. He’s got flushed cheeks, swollen lips and blown out pupils. He looks so fucking good.
“y/n? The timer hasn’t gone off yet?” he tries to stay composed but you can tell he’s panicking.
“Huh? Oh right.” You try leaning back in but Taehyung stops you with his hands on your shoulders.
“y/n, we can stop this if you aren’t comfort—”
“I don’t want to stop, Tae.” You blurt out quickly. “I want to keep going.” You flutter your eyelashes at him, “Please.” His eyes widen.
Taehyung’s hands grip at your waist and leans in again, kissing you once more. His lips find yours in desperation this time, he moves his lips against yours messily yet perfectly. His hands slide down just a bit until they’re gripping your hips, he gives them a squeeze and you squeal. So he squeezes your hips again until you’re whimpering in his mouth. He takes advantage of your parted lips, taking this opportunity to lick past them and feel your tongue with his. He presses his mouth against yours harder as your hands run down his broad chest.
You begin exploring his front side, your hands gliding from his chest to his stomach. He groans when you slide your hands down with added pressure to his lower stomach, he feels himself tense as he continues to kiss you. His tongue swirls against yours as your kissing becomes more heated and more sloppy. He wants to explore your front too, god, he wants to feel your tits in his hands so bad. So he slides his hands up until he’s groping you, your breasts being squeezed passionately by his large hands. You groan when his thumb finds your nipple through the material of your shirt and thin bra, he’s rubbing it over and over and you roll your eyes back.
You want to touch him more, you want to feel him so fucking bad and you’re about to, you swear you’re about to but the god damn timer goes off. The loud, obnoxious beeping ringing loud and clear in your ears. You and Taehyung get stopped immediately, backing away from one another. Your lips leaving a small string of saliva connecting you two. You hurry to wipe your mouth and scramble to find the timer and stop it.
“Uh…” Taehyung’s breathing is beyond uneven. “I don’t know if that counts because we stopped.”
“Right…Then we should continue.” You give him a shy smile and he smirks over at you.
“Only if you want to.”
“I do.” You say, completely intoxicated. You reach up to caress his cheek and Taehyung goes soft all of the sudden, he’s leaning into your touch and he sighs out in satisfaction.
“Kiss me Taehyung.” You quietly command.
“My pleasure.” He hurries to capture your lips with his, his mouth moving quickly over yours, his tongue practically begging for entrance. He wastes no time fighting his way into your mouth and you let him, you part your lips and slip your tongue between his. He groans as his fingers find their way into your hair and he’s tugging on it making you moan between kisses. He tugs your head to the side, giving him access to your neck. His lips leave yours to leave wet kisses down your jaw and your throat, you immediately sigh out in pleasure arching you back and pushing your chest into his. Good, he thinks. You’re as affected as he is.
Taehyung takes you by the shoulders and lays your body down on the couch as he climbs on top of you, caging you in with his arms on either side of your head. He stares down at you with his intense gaze and you shudder. You’re really letting this happen…but before you can get too into your head Taehyung’s hand is at your lower stomach, riding your shirt up.
“This has to come off.” He states darkly, “Now.” You nod your head slowly and he’s raising the shirt higher and higher, until he’s lifting it off your body. This leaves you in some shorts and your red, lacey bralette. Taehyung skims yours body, his eyes trailing from the tops of your breasts until they’re focused on your shorts.
“These off too.” He plays with the material of your shorts. “Want to see what panties you’re wearing.”
You start to turn red but you agree, you lift your ass up as Taehyung begins dragging the shorts down your legs, revealing your matching red panties.
“Thought so.” Taehyung smirks, “You wore a matching set. Why? Did you know this was going to happen? Such a bad fucking girl.”
You breathe out heavily, wondering what to say but you decide to stay quiet. Not trusting your voice at this point.
“Speak.” Taehyung commands and you feel the chills run across your entire body.
“I didn’t know…” you lie, “I just put these on…”
“We don’t lie, y/n. When it comes to me and you, we always tell the truth okay baby?” You can hear his teasing tone, it’s light and playful and it goes straight to your lady bits.
“Okay…” you agree softly, “I want…”
“What is it that you want?”
“Your clothes off.”
Taehyung quirks a brow at you with an amused smile. “Oh?” He licks his lips and nods his head. He slowly begins taking his shirt off, revealing his tanned, broad chest. Your hands immediately go up to touch him, dragging your little fingers down until they’re at his shorts.
“These too, please.”
“Only because you have such good manners.” Taehyung gets off you to take his shorts off, leaving him in black briefs. You can see his bulge…fuck, he looks huge. Bigger than you remember when you two skinny dipped. He finds his way back between your legs, hovering above you.
“I believe you asked me to kiss you.” He says, leaning down. He nips at your neck, until his lips find their way back to yours. He’s kissing you much rougher now, his tongue dancing intensely with yours. His hips grind into you as he kisses you, you can feel his member rubbing against your clit so heavenly. You can’t help but whimper every time his bulge grinds into you, the feeling so euphoric.
“Taehyung…” you moan his name. You moan his fucking name. He is on the verge of going feral now, his hips moving into you faster and harder.
“I want to ….”
“You want to what baby?” he breathes out harshly, his lips now on your neck again, sucking bruise after bruise, painting art on your skin with blues and purples.
“Can I…” you sigh out heavily, “Please can I suck your cock? …Please…”
Taehyung drops his head in the crook of your neck and releases a long, unsteady breath.
“You realize if I let you suck on my cock, I’m going to end up fucking your mouth?”
“Please…” you whine, imagining his dick between your lips. “You can fuck my mouth.”
Taehyung chuckles, his hot breaths hitting your sensitive skin.
“Right here? You’re okay with them watching?” he asks, clearly amused.
“Show them who this mouth belongs to, Taehyung.”
Belongs to? Suddenly, Taehyung’s world stops. He wants your mouth to belong to him, of course. But does it? Is this just dirty talk? Or do you mean it? He sits back on his hinges, and cards his fingers through his messy hair.
“I want you, Taehyung.” You say smoothly, “Need you.”
Need him? Now he is beginning to spiral even further…you don’t need him. You just want what he can do for you…
“You don’t.” he says quietly, his voice low and his breaths uneven.
“I do.” You say, sitting up to caress his face.
Taehyung’s eyes dart all around the room, his breathing become even rougher. He hates misunderstandings, miscommunication, etc.
“I can’t do this.” He whispers and your eyes go wide in panic.
“W-What do you—”
“—Not until you tell me how you feel.” He says quickly, “I need to know how you feel about me.”
Your eyes widen even more before you’re slowly closing them.
“How I feel about you?” you repeat.
“Yes.”
“I don’t kn—”
“Don’t give me some bullshit, y/n. Either you like me or you don’t.” he stares down at you, his gaze as dark and intense as the day you met him. Taehyung leans down again, until his mouth is at your ear.
“I think you do.” He whispers. “But I need to hear it from you.” He leans away from you again, his expression serious.
“Taehyung…” you begin, “You’re my friend—”
“—Don’t. Do you feel the same way about me that I feel about you?” he finally asks but bluntly.
“You like me, Taehyung?” you ask quietly, the shock evident in your voice.
“How was it not so obvious? I’ve said this before the night we skinny dipped, but your ability to be so naïve…seriously baffles me.” He sighs out.
“Taehyung…” you whisper his name, “I don’t want to lose you.”
“You think having feelings for me means that’s it? That it’s the end? Baby, it would only be the beginning.” Taehyung leans down again as he caresses your face. “I know you’re scared. I know you have trauma that you’re still getting through. I know your ex fucked you up. But I’m not him. I’m Taehyung. I’m…fuck, I don’t know. y/n, please just open your heart to me.” Taehyung looks at you with so much compassion that it physically hurts.
“I know,” your voice shakes, “I know you aren’t him, Tae.” You take his hand in yours, “I do like you.” You finally admit, shutting your eyes.
“Look at me.” Taehyung commands, “Look at me babe.”
You slowly open your eyes again, gazing into his dark ones and you feel yourself grow warmer and warmer.
“I’m only looking at you.” You say as you reach up and kiss him. You kiss him on the lips, long and hard. He smirks into the kiss as his tongue pushes past your lips and you welcome him with your own.
His hands explore your body again, he’s gripping on to your ass as his pulls you closer into his crotch, his hands then travel up your breasts and he’s unclasping your bra, throwing it to the side.
“God, I have waited to see these perfect tits again.” He groans, leaning down until he’s got your left nipple in his mouth, he’s licking it and sucking it making you moan loudly for him.
One of his hands is at your other breast fondling it while his other hand travels down until he’s feeling you over your panties.
“These panties are fucking soaked.” He mumbles, “Good girl.”
You whine when his fingers slide your underwear to the side and his fingers slip between your folds. He slides them around until he’s swirling two fingers over your bundle of nerves, making moan after moan leave your parted lips.
“You like being watched don’t you?” he teases, “Like for others to watch me get you off?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” You pant, “I love it.”
“Good.” Taehyung stops what he’s doing, causing you to groan in frustration.
“Why did you stop?”
“Because you said I could fuck your mouth. So, get ready babe.” He smirks down at you and guides you to sit up.
“Get on your knees for me.” He says as he stands from the couch. You follow his lead and stand up too then immediately drop to your knees in front of him.
“I want to see how good you are at sucking dick.” He smiles down at you, “See how well you can take this fat cock down your throat. Think you can handle it?”
“Yes, Taehyung.” You answer almost obediently, your big doe eyes staring up at him and he feels his heart soar.
“Good.” He pats your head, his fingers playing in your hair. “Good.���
Your eyes travels from his to his obvious erection through his briefs. You reach up for the band of his underwear and start pulling them down, freeing his cock, it bounces off his lower abdomen and the tip is leaking precum. You gulp at the sight. He’s huge. His dick is so long in length, but also so fucking thick.
“You can start easy, baby. Don’t got to shove the whole thing down your throat….yet.” Taehyung chuckles under his breath. “Why don’t you start by licking it?” he suggests and you nod your head.
You reach up to grab it, Taehyung tenses when he feels your small, warm hand wrap itself around his length. You look up at him again with your big, submissive eyes and he licks his lips. “Go on babe.” He quietly urges. “Show me how much you want to suck my cock.”
You lean forward, getting impossibly close as you smear his cum all over the tip of his dick. He groans at the feeling of your hand. You hover you hot mouth over the head and bring your tongue to it, licking him repeatedly, swirling your tongue all around the tip. Taehyung rolls his head back, groaning in satisfaction.
“That’s it baby. Now try taking me in your pretty little mouth.” He watches you with heavy lids.
You then wrap your lips around his cock, and he moans out loud, the feeling of how wet and hot your mouth feels has him losing composure. Not to mention it’s been a while. You begin taking his dick in your mouth inch by inch until he is feeling the back of your throat and you start a slow pace of bobbing your head up and down. He moans out again, you’re fucking sucking him so heavenly. Your tongue, your spit, your lips, your throat. It’s all perfect.
Then your hands join in, they begin pumping him while you suck on his head a little more harshly, he whimpers at the added contact—yes, whimpers. You’re going faster now. And he’s getting closer, you can tell with how his body tenses.
“You’re taking my cock in your mouth so well.” He pants out, “So fucking well.”
You then let his cock slip out of your mouth and you open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out, slapping his cock on it. He could come at the sight alone.
“Going to fuck your mouth now, is that okay?” he warns while taking your hair in his hands.
“Going to come all down your perfect throat, right?”
You nod frantically at the idea, “Please Taehyung, I want all your cum.” You beg for him, still pumping him member in your hand.
“Such a good fucking girl.” He takes his cock into his hand and thrusts it past your lips. You immediately choke on this length, it hits the back of your throat so roughly. Taehyung stares down at you with his sly smile and it only grows as he watches you take his cock. You’re a fucking vision, he thinks. Your wild hair, your exposed tits. You’re fucking drooling and moaning, sending all the vibrations straight to his dick causing him to moan as well. He begins pulling out of your mouth only to slam back in and he starts his pace between your lips. He’s thrusting into your mouth, he’s got a strong grip on your hair and he’s groaning at all the sensations. Your hands find his balls and you begin massaging them lightly making him fuck your mouth faster.
“I’m—I’m going to come.” He warns between bated breaths. “Going to be my best girl and swallow it for me?”
You only moan in response, your eyes on his eyes. He throws his head back in pleasure as he fucks your mouth faster.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck. You’re so fucking hot.” He pants.
You continue to massage his balls and he goes so unbelievably tense, he stills his hips and spills his seed down your abused throat. You quickly swallow it all, moaning as you do so.
“You’re so beautiful y/n.” Taehyung compliments you, completely out of breath. “Only I get to see you like this, okay?” he pulls back from your mouth, raising his briefs over his cock again. He helps you to your feet, and pulls you into his chest.
“So fucking gorgeous.”
“I need you, Taehyung.” You release a few short breaths, “Need you so bad.”
~
You get thrown on to the unbelievably soft mattress in your room, the soft sheets caressing your naked top half. Your breasts bounce as you land and Taehyung looks down at you, amused.
“What?” You ask, becoming shy.
“Nothing. Just really love your tits.” He groans out as you go to cover your chest. “Oh there’s no hiding from me, babe.” He smiles.
“These are mine.” You playfully say and Taehyung quirks a brow at you.
“You share now.” He says, leaning down and capturing your lips with his in a short but heated kiss. “Okay?”
“O—Okay.” You breathe out, “Whatever you say.”
“Now you’re learning.” He teases.
You gaze into Taehyung’s eyes and you feel yourself going weak, you really are a fool for this man. He has this power over you that you can barely describe.
“Tae…” You rub your thighs together and he smirks, leaning down to lick a strip up your throat, the cool air hitting that wet spot sending chills across your body.
“Hm?” he hums, his mouth hot on your neck as he places kisses.
“Need you.”
“My girl is so needy.”
“Your girl?”
Taehyung lifts his head from your neck and stares down at you, his sly smile growing much softer as he gazes at you.
“You’re mine now, you get that right?” he asks quietly. “I want you. I…like you so much…fuck, like so much.” He sighs out. “You and me are going to make it out of here and I will still want you. You understand?” he leans down until his nose is brushing yours. “I want to make this work.”
You’re left speechless. Taehyung feels this strongly about you? You blink up at him with wide eyes and he smiles at you.
“I really, really fucking like you.” He whispers against your lips. “Tell me you understand…tell me you feel the same…” he quietly begs, his voice soft.
“I understand.” Your hushed voice making it past your lips as you lean up to kiss him. “I really like you too…” you caress his face with your hand and he pulls away from you.
“Do you want me?” Taehyung asks and you laugh.
“Baby I fucking need you.” And you’re pulling him down again, his lips crashing into yours. You kiss him over and over until your lips are so pink and swollen.
“What do you…what do you need from me? I want you to tell me.” Taehyung commands breathlessly.
“You.” You whine and he lightly spanks the side of your hip.
“Not uh.” He shakes his finger at you. “What do you want specifically? I want you to say it.”
You squirm beneath him, feeling shy all of the sudden at his request but you find his eyes and open your mouth to speak.
“Your fingers. Your mouth. Your cock.” You whisper, rubbing your thighs together.
“Louder.”
“Your fingers. Your mouth. Your cock.” You say just a bit louder and he smirks.
“Louder.”
“I want your fingers! Your mouth! I want your fucking cock!” you cry out and he looks at you with a look of pride.
“Good.” He says while playing with the band of your panties. “Let’s take these off, shall we?”
You nod your head frantically, you reek of desperation and Taehyung couldn’t be more pleased.
His fingers dance around the waist band of your underwear, smirking down at you and letting a harsh breath leave his mouth.
“I never got to taste you. I bet you taste so fucking good.” His fingers slide underneath your panties when his eyes widen once he feels your heat. “fuck, you are soaked baby girl.”
“You did this to me…” you admit as you flutter your eyelashes at him.
“y/n…” he whimpers, the sound so fucking sexy to your ears. Your mind is so hazy, so full of lust.
“All mine… say it.” Taehyung dips his fingers between your damp folds and you moan out in pleasure.
“All yours.” You repeat. “I’m all yours.”
“Yes.” He pecks your lips over and over. You slip your hand inside his briefs and he groans at the contact. “Say it again. That you’re all mine.” He continues to rub your clit over and over. Your hand starts stroking his hardening cock and you smile into his kisses.
“I’m all yours, Taehyung.”
Taehyung’s cock is so pretty, so long, so thick. You love the way it feels as he thrusts himself in your hand. You want it inside you. Your breathing picks up and you sound so fucking breathless as you speak.
“All yours.” You say again and he continues to move his hips into your hand, getting himself off. His head drops down into the crook of your neck and he smiles against your skin.
“You make me feel so good.” He admits between rough breaths, “I need you y/n. I could honestly come in your hand but would much rather come in you.” Then he’s jerking his head up.
“Wait do we have condoms?” Taehyung asks and you smirk.
“In the nightstand drawer. But they supplied me with birth control…I’ve been taking it because of my period…so we don’t need to use—”
“You’re saying I can fuck this pussy raw?” he growls, “Saying I can fill you up with my cum?”
His lips are back on your lips and he’s kissing you with more depth and more passion now, your arousal wetting you as he works you up. You throw your legs around his middle, wrapping them tightly as he immediately pushes his painfully hard member against your core.
“Off. Take them off.” You demand between harsh breaths. And without another second passing, Taehyung is rushing to take his briefs off. And before you even realize it he is back on you, between your legs.
“These have to come off too.” He smirks, dancing his fingers up your thighs until he reaches your panties. He gently begins pulling them down, slipping them off one leg at a time. Then his eyes go completely dark. The darkest you have ever seen them. They’re fixated on your pussy and you begin to squirm under his gaze. He’s got his hands holding your legs down and then suddenly he is throwing your legs over his shoulders. He finally makes eye contact with you with hooded eyes.
“You’re so fucking wet.” He licks his lips. “I can see it.”
You know you turn red, red as your fucking underwear. You want to feel embarrassed, you really do but you only find yourself staring up at him with a smile.
“So fucking beautiful.” He says, his eyes focused on your cunt, you can feel your wetness drip down your thigh. God, what does he do to you?
“Taehyung please…” your words come out broken between harsh breaths.
“Please what baby?” he says before placing a kiss on the skin of your inner thigh.
“Please,” You screw your eyes shut, gripping the sheets beneath you. “Touch me.”
His mouth places wet kisses on your inner thigh, he glides his lips closer and closer to where you need him most. He hasn’t even touched you where you need him yet but you are already moaning. His name pushing past your lips in desperation.
Taehyung raises his head to watch you, your eyes are barely open but you can see him give you the deadliest smirk of your life. In a blur his head is dipping down again and you groan out when you feel him lick from your core to your aching clit. It’s almost overwhelming. His tongue is warm and slippery and you cry out again when his mouth finds your most sensitive spot and he sucks on it. Hard.
“Taehyung!” You scream out, your heels digging into his back. He slips his tongue into you and his thumb begins rubbing harsh circles on your bundle of nerves. He pulls your hips closer to him to get a better angle and he fucking finds it. His tongue is circling and licking at your clit while he slips two fingers into your heat, thrusting them inside until you are squirming.
You whine and whimper, your lips permanently parted as harsh breaths push past. His mouth feels so good and his fingers are deadly. Within a few minutes you are throwing your head back, crying out in pleasure as your high overtakes your body. You push your thighs together, probably squishing Taehyung’s head between your legs as you ride it out. His tongue never stops, even as you are coming down from your orgasm. His eyes are on yours and you see the evil glint. He keeps fucking going. You start to move around uncomfortably as the oversensitivity hits, you crease your brows and beg Taehyung to stop. But he doesn’t. He only comes up for air for a minute to say,
“You can take it baby.” Then he dives back in, attacking your most sensitive spot. After a few more uncomfortable seconds, the pleasure starts to come again. You are on the verge of fucking tears, the pain turned pleasure just turning you on more. It doesn’t take a lot to get you on the brink of your next orgasm, no, not really. Your hands are in Taehyung’s hair, pulling at it and when you hear him grunt in response you decide that’s all it takes for you. You scream out his name as you are coming all over his offensive tongue. You are so fucking out of breath as you come down from possibly the best orgasm of your life. Your hands fall to your sides because you are fucking dead.
Taehyung gently lowers your legs to the bed, his body still between them, sitting back on his heels. You open your eyes to get a look at him and you can’t believe it but you feel yourself getting turned on again—his hair is disheveled as fuck, his eye lids heavy, and his face glistening with your juices.
“Such a good girl.” He breathes out, his voice husky and low. He looks the hottest you have ever seen him. You glance down to see how painfully hard his cocks looks, and it does. It looks upset, like you should be touching it. Like it should be inside you.
“Come here.” You whine. And he does, he leans over your body with his, laying on top of you without putting any weight on your body. You reach up to smooth his hair down, even though he looks cute with it sticking out in random places.
“That was amazing.” You admit, your breathing still heavy.
“It’s not over.” His voice is strained, almost like he is in pain. And he probably is.
You reach below him and take his cock into your small hand. He hisses at the contact, his eyes slamming shut.
“Fuck.” He whimpers into your neck. “Fuuuuck.” He repeats slowly as you start stroking him. You take his cock and begin slipping it between your folds, sliding it up and down. It hurts you a bit but you take it. It’s all worth it when you hear Taehyung release the sexiest most drawn out moan you have ever heard. His head is in the crook of your neck and he bites down into the skin and starts moving his hips—almost hesitantly.
“Wanna fuck you…” he whispers.
His cock is getting coated in your wetness so it’s easy to start pumping him with your hand. Taehyung whines. A higher pitch than you are used to with him and it goes straight to your fucking greedy ass vagina and you are turned on all over again.
“Then fuck me.” You say in his ear.
Taehyung lifts his head up and looks down at you with his intense gaze that fucking kills you.
“Are you sure?” his hand comes up to cup your cheek and you feel yourself grow even more soft for him.
“I’m more than sure.” You say gently, then you let your eyes fall to his cock in your hand and you feel the heat creep up your neck. “I need you so bad baby”
And then there is a switch. Taehyung goes from looking at you tenderly to looking at you like you are his fucking meal. He licks his lips and bites down on his bottom lip.
“Then fucking have me.” He growls, taking his cock into his own hand, and gliding it down to your core. And then it happens, he slides into you one delicious inch at a time. You both moan out in pleasure. Like, finally. After all this time, after all these months of built up tension you finally have his cock inside you.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.” Taehyung grunts as you clench your walls around him. He slowly eases his cock out of you, just leaving the tip in before he slams his hips into you. You yelp out as he does that same motion a couple more times. He’s fucking you fast and deep, the sensation causing you to scream out his name and other incoherent words. His cock brushes against your G spot as he goes deeper and deeper. It has you crying out, your whines and moans filling the room. He goes faster, his hips thrusting into you at a brutal pace now.
“Get on all 4’s, I want your ass up.” He commands. you scramble to get on your hands and knees, listening to his demand. Fuck.
“Do you like it rough baby?” He moans out, slipping his cock back inside you.
“Yes.” You say under your breath.
Smack. He hand meets your ass.
“Didn’t hear you, speak up.” He grunts, starting his brutal pace again.
“Yes!” you scream out, this position has him hitting your sensitive spots in a different delicious angle. He fucks you like this for several minutes, your bodies slamming against one another, the sound of his skin slapping yours filling your ears.
“Good. Fuck baby, you feel so fucking good.” He continues to fuck you as he pulls you up, your back meeting his chest. He holds you up by wrapping his fingers around your throat, squeezing lightly. He places a kiss on your shoulder. “Fucking made for me.”
You moan out, his words pushing you closer to the edge a-fucking-gain.
“You feel even better Taehyung.” You say between moans.
This earns you his fingers on your clit. He reaches around and begins rubbing his fingers quickly that your knees buckle. The added pressure of his fingers has your orgasm coming soon and you cry out warning him that you’re close.
“On your back, wanna see you when you come.” He demands, but there is a softness in his voice, it makes you melt.
His cock momentarily leaves your heat as you lay on your back, looking into his eyes as he hovers over you. Taehyung takes your legs and wraps them around his middle and quickly slips his cock inside you once again. He pace is slower than before, he falls forward, his head meeting the crook of your neck. He’s whispering sweet words in your ear as his fingers find your clit again and you are falling apart.
“You’re so perfect,” he whispers, his voice muffled by your hair.
He begins to thrust into you harder, really fucking hard. His balls slapping against your ass, makes the most delicious noises and you feel his cock reach deep within you, pulling you into your next orgasm, his fingers still never giving up.
“I’m gonna come!” You cry out, your walls squeezing him.
“Baby wait for me, I’m close.” He pants,
“I can’t I can’t” You scream, your eyes screwing shut as your orgasm approaches you.
“You will fucking wait for me baby” It’s a demand. He isn’t asking, he’s telling.
“Be a good girl and,” he thrusts harder and faster, so fucking fast. Your body is being shook with every thrust. “And wait. Can you do that for me?” He continues his assault on your clit.
“Yes, yes.” You cry out, tears pricking your eyes. You want to come so bad, that it physically hurts. But you try to hold it off, you try so fucking hard but he’s fucking you into the next existence.
Taehyung rolls his hips into yours, and you meet him half way. You buck your hips into him as well because you are fucking desperate. You notice his thrusts are less precise, becoming just a bit sloppy. Thank fucking sweet baby Jesus. He’s close.
“Fuck...I like you so much…” He moves into you with desperation, his words falling into your ear as he whispers to you. His hips slapping into you quickly and sloppily.
“Me too, fuck. Me too.” And that’s it. His hips buck into you harshly, stilling. He groans out loudly, coming inside you. “Come.” He demands. His fingers pressing harder onto your clit. And you do. You come so fucking hard. You squeeze him, milking him dry. You whine out, tears leaving your eyes as you slam them shut in pleasure.
“Good girl.”
Then the room is silent besides the pants coming from the two of you. You hum when you feel him slip out of you, he leans back and sits on his heels watching the cum drip out of you. Then he reaches his hand forward and stuffs his fingers inside of your pussy and you yelp out.
“You’re keeping my cum inside you.” His dark eyes staying solely on your heat.
“Yes.” You moan out, your eyes rolling to the back of your head.
Taehyung’s fingers leave your center and the next thing you feel is his fingers pushing past your lips and him telling you to lick him clean. You are still shaking from your orgasm but you listen. You open your eyes and stare deeply into his while sucking on his fingers. They taste like you, taste like him. Fucking delicious.
Closing your eyes, you even out your breathing. You feel Taehyung get off the bed and the sounds of his footsteps tell you he’s walking to the bathroom. Your eyes stay shut. You just had the best sex of your life with someone…someone like Taehyung. If that isn’t the most magical feeling ever, you don’t know what is. After a few seconds you feel the bed dip, and a warm, damp towelette is being used to clean you up. You open one eye to look at the view.
Taehyung sits on his knees next to you, spreading your legs apart as he wipes your inner thighs. Then very carefully he begins cleaning the real mess. You bite your lip from the sensation, you are incredibly sensitive and you wince. Taehyung’s eyes shoot up to observe you.
“Almost done baby” he whispers, his hand squeezing your knee.
When he’s finished he throws the dirty towel in the hamper and focuses his attention back on you again.
“You should go pee.” He suggests softly, his hand rubbing your knee.
“Can’t move.” You close your eyes again when you hear him chuckle. “Will you come lay with me?” you ask, your eyes still closed.
You feel him shift around until he’s at your side, slipping an arm under your head.
You’re silent for a few moments, just enjoying one another’s presence. He swings his other arm around your waist and pulls you closer.
“y/n, I need to know if you really understand.” Taehyung sighs out. “This wasn’t just sex to me,” he begins. “This was way more than that. Fuck, it felt amazing. How do you feel?”
“Best sex of my life.” You whisper truthfully and Taehyung can’t help but chuckle.
“We were made for each other.” He whispers back. “soulmates, remember?”
And suddenly your heart sinks. This company forced this to happen, didn’t it? This company forced your friendship on him now this? This company—
“Would it be crazy to say I’m falling in love with you?” Taehyung asks quietly. He hears you suck in a sharp breath and he starts to panic. You don’t know what to say.
“Taehyung.” You whisper his name so fucking softly that he closes his eyes in understanding.
“I’ll wait until you’re ready.” He says, pulling you closer into his chest. “Let’s just enjoy our time together, okay? I’m sure we will be out of here soon and then we have the challenges of the real world. So for now, let’s enjoy our little bubble.”
You still don’t know to respond…your heart is still feeling heavy but somehow his ideas sound good.
“Okay.” You yawn out, agreeing with him. You snuggle closer to his chest, inhaling him. You feel your body grow so tired, sleep trying to make its way with you. You feel Taehyung drawing circles on the skin of your back with his fingers and it soothes you beyond belief.
“Y/n?” Taehyung whispers your name but you’re silent. You’ve fallen asleep.
“Fuck.” He says with gritted teeth, “I really am falling in love with you.”

So this idea isn’t leaving my head. While I’m not going to get it started for now, since I want to concentrate on my current Stevonnie comic, ideas are still ticking away and I just really wanted to draw this cover for the idea.
Maybe I’ll get its own page started in time. I’ll let you know if I do. But even if I did, I wouldn’t expect regular updates to it, not while I’m working on Together Forever.
I want to quickly say something that I think some people may have gotten confused about when I was talking about the Fallout Universe before:
Crystal Gems are still called Crystal Gems, but their role is similar, but not the same as the Brotherhood of Steel. In that they are isolationists, who will try to protect humanity from dangerous gem technology, and corrupted gems. they aren’t bothered with human mutants, human problems, or human technology. But I feel that, ove time, Steven will help their character growth away from this and help them, at least, start opening up to the local comminuty and helping where they can.
Homeworld Authority is still called Homeworld, or The Authority, but take on a similar role to the Enclave. They view themselves as the rightful masters of earth and they’re automatically more superior to any other lifeform by birthright.
I have been thinking over what could have occurred to create this world, how’s this for a (work in progress) backstory: (ended up a lot longer than I thought it would, so I’m space saving by putting in this break)
The Gem colonisation of earth happened later than it did in canon. A couple of thousand years, maybe. Unlike the 6000 years ago in canon, it was perhaps 5000, or maybe 4000 years ago. Enough for a bigger human civilisation to take part in the gem war for earth.
Pink still gets her colony started, still changes her mind about it, and finally chooses to become Rose Quartz to lead the rebellion. I think the human zoo will still be made, because I like the idea of that being around to give a mash-up of the human zoo and the mother ship zeta dlc from Fallout 3.
What really diverges from the timeline is when the rebellion starts fighting back with larger groups of human allies. 4000 (or 5000) years ago we are talking some good military strategies, chariots, bows and arrows, cavalries and tactics, etc. Some research will be needed to really flesh out the lore.
Homeworld, facing a bigger threat than a hundred or so rebels, puts a little more effort into research and development of newer technologies to counteract the human strategies. Nothing develops technologies quite like war.
Rose and the others start capturing some technologies from Homeworld and start studying them to not only understand them, but even attempting to reverse engineer them. They obviously won’t be able to replicate the weapons in form, but hope to do so in function.
This is where Scribes would come in for the Crystal Gems are the replacement for the Brotherhood of Steel that I’ve talked about before. Some Gems and some clever humans, would dedicate themselves to trying to understand the newer Gem technology they’re starting to see.
With inventive people like Bismuth to build their own version of it.
The actual Gem Technology will be locked away in the temple- or whatever name I may give it- but the remake versions that the Crystal Gems turn out will be spread far and wide.
I’m just thinking off the top of my head, but it’d be like- if they tried to make their own version of the gem destabiliser, it would be like a giant tuning fork hooked up to something similar to a large Baghdad Battery (google it, it’s kinda cool) that they would carry in a backpack.
The war would carry on like that, with Homeworld making new tech to combat the threat, sooner or later the rebellion captures some, they make their own version of it, and Homeworld makes new tech to combat the threat.
This drain on resources does take its toll on Homeworld though, and their war against earth is perhaps much shorter, between 300 and 800 years, I haven’t decided yet.
Things do play out similar to canon though. Homeworld decides to abandon earth as a lost cause, implant the Cluster so they’ll get something out of the deal and the three Diamonds blast the earth with their powers as a final middle finger to the rebels.
Gems are destroyed, except for the original Crystal Gems, and Bismuth! Canon Bismuth made a lot of regular weapons and armour and the rebellion was still losing. She was driven to making the Breaking Point because she didn’t think they had a chance of winning any other way. In this new canon, however, because Bismuth was working on newer and newer weapons all the time, each one she was confident would help turn the tide of the war, she never had chance to work on the ultimate weapon of the Breaking Point. She may have designed it, or may have the idea kicking around the back of her mind, but never got around to building it. 
Rose does her thing of finding somewhere isolated to live in both peace and regret for the war. This is where the Crystal Gems become isolationists
With the Gems gone, humans are left to their own devices with all this more advanced technology than they should have in this point in history. Tech continues to develop with this head start.
Fast forward to the year 1929 and people are living lives as you’d see in the Fallout universe in the 2070′s. Nuclear fulled cars, robot assistants, laser rifles and power armour and all that other stuff.
The reason I chose 1929 is two-fold. The first Fallout game was set 84 years after the nuclear war, and 84 years after 1929 is the year 2013; the year Steven Universe first aired.
The failing of the world is the same reason the Fallout universe failed. Resources started to become scarce, wars started over what remained and the whole thing was escalated by a race that may have been too young to fully understand the forces they were really dealing with, having come a long way, but still too fast, thanks to the ancient interference.
Nuclear hellfire rained down and some people took their shelter in the vaults, while everyone else had to find ways to survive outside.
Rose and the Gems stick to their isolation as humanity all but wipes itself out. Rose is heartbroken to see the beautiful world that she fought so hard for, so easily destroyed. There can be a lot to explore there. Maybe Rose will leave the group, maybe she’ll just wander off and be alone a lot but still return to the temple eventually. I haven’t decided yet.
Perhaps all the gems will have some additional guilt, knowing that their old tech is what pushed humanity so far so fast.
Fast forward 70 years and Rose meets a travelling wastelander named Greg. They fall in love. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail here mostly because I haven’t really thought too much about it, but partly because I know I want it to be explored within the story itself to show how different from canon it would be. Not just the flashback elements from “Story for Steven,” and "We Need to Talk," with a Fallout flair. I want to work out some other nice adventures to bring them together.
Rose and Greg come back to Beach City with Rose expecting their baby.
Steven is born and the Gems immediately take custody, with the logic that their secure base is a better place for Steven to grow up than the harsh wasteland. Greg is allowed to visit as often as he likes, but not stay there. Nor is Steven allowed off the base. They want to protect the legacy of their leader, Rose.
I’m going to say that Steven starts showing hints of Gem powers around 10 years old. Nothing he can control. Perhaps his Gem glows when he’s really happy, if he falls down some steps his bubble forms but immediately pops so it’s just enough to save him from injury. Little things like that.
But this serves as a point where The Gems start “encouraging” Greg to visit less and leave the raising of Steven to them, as his upbringing has now become “Gem Business”
Steven may have snuck off the base once or twice to see the world beyond the base, but after this he’ll do it a lot more often to see his dad and the Beach City settlement.
I think Bismuth suspects he sneaks off but both can’t prove it, and doesn’t want to try and prove it, Garnet knows but says nothing, both of them are letting Steven have his fun, and Pearl has no idea he does it.
Amethyst is not part of the group in the beginning, she’s out as part of a raider gang somewhere. Thank you to theyarheeguy for giving me that idea, and many others, to work with.
A total of 84 years after the bombs dropped, Steven is now 12 years old, sneaking off the base for another visit to town, when he spots a pretty young girl dressed in a strange blue jumpsuit, emerging from a hidden trapdoor that was underneath the old Beach City water-tower.
Steven is 12 because I believe that’s how old he was when the show started. Based on the timeline, the passing of the seasons and so on, he has to have a 13th birthday that we don’t see on screen, before we do see his 14th birthday.
