Hi really love your work🙂. May I repuest

Wolfgang with a gn(or male if you write it of course) reader. So I had this in my mind, Wolfgang and the reader are super close(like best friends) so toshiko tries to get them into a relationship and end the she succseeds.

Sorry if this is confusing

AWW THATS SO CUTE, of course ill write it!! it’ll be in a non killing game au because im all for fluff 🫶

authors note: reader is gonna be shorter then wolfgang because i refuse to believe anyone over 6’0 would want wolfgang.

——

the lawyer’s confession.

(featuring Wolfgang Akire, reader, Toshiko Kayura, and guest appearances from Kai Monteago, Grace Madison, and Cassidy Amber)

It had been a few months since Wolfgang had started attending Eden’s Garden Academy, and he was absolutely smitten with one of his classmates. you, you were perfect. The way you smiled, the way you spoke, the way you acted, the way you looked, you were just… perfect. You were in his class, naturally, and the lawyer felt blessed.

“Oh come on! Yours obviously in love with them, so just confess! It’s not that hard.”

“Miss Kayura, it’s not that simple… they’re my closest friend, i don’t want to lose them over this.”

Toshikosighs, bopping wolfgang on the head with one of her fans. “They’re clearly into you as well, everyone sees how they look at you.”

“I’m… i’m not too sure. they’re a wonderful person, and… and if i do confess, i want it to be perfect.”

“Then leave that to me! wolfgang, you are elegant, well-spoken, and i can’t think of anyone better for y/n then you.” Toshiko chuckled, walking away, leaving Wolfgang alone in the classroom.

“Wolfgang?” It was you. Peaking out from behind the door, you stepped into the classroom. “Um…what were you and toshiko talking about?”

“I- well- we were just-“ Wolfgang stutters, suddenly unable to form words. Maybe it was the curious look on your face, maybe it was the fact you were there- shit, he needed to compose himself. Straighting his tie, Wolfgang takes a deep breath. “We were… discussing you.”

“Me? why?”

“Because… well…. y/n, to put it simply, i’m in love with you.” He glances away, fidgeting with his tie.

Face flushing, you walk towards Wolfgang. “You’re… in love with me?” Your voice is quiet, barely above a whisper.

“Yes. I- I’ve been in love with you since we first met.”

“Oh Wolfgang…” you gently place your hand on his cheek, smiling. “I love you too.”

The man blinks, before smiling as well. “Ah… can I…. may i kiss you?”

You nod, and he leans down, softly kissing you. he wraps his arms around your waist, and you wrap yours around his neck.

“y/n…” Wolfgang mutters, pulling away.

“Yeah?”

“Will… will you go out with me?”

You laugh. “Of course. I would love to.”

Kissing you again, the two of you spend a sweet moment together, just… kissing.

But of course, someone walks in- no, two people.

“Hoooly shit- Wolfgang- and y/n- i gotta get a picture.” It was Kai. Snickering, the influencer took way too many photos of you and Wolfgang.

“Mr Monteago!” Wolfgang exclaims, letting go of you. “Please, delete that!”

“No way, my fans will LOVE this.”

Behind Kai, was Toshiko. She walked over to the two of you, but not before shoving kai out of the room.

“Well, it seems i didn’t need to go through all the trouble i just went through!”

“Toshiko? What do you mean?” You tilt your head, confused.

“I set up an entire scenario where Wolfgang would confess to you, and it was perfect! But it seems he already has.” The girl grumbles, but she quickly gets over it. “Either way, I’m absolutely delighted that the two of you are finally together! I’ve been waiting for one of you to finally say something.”

Looking at one another, then looking at Toshiko, then back at each other, you and Wolfgang laugh.

“I really do appreciate your help, Miss Kayura. If not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to confess in the first place..” Wolfgang smiles.

Because we can’t have just two people running in, Cassidy and Grace RAN into the classroom as well.

“YOURE DATING Y/N?”

“I saw Kai’s post on Instagram holy shit-“

They’re talking over one another.

It looks like this might go on for a while…

“Wolfgang… let’s… let’s get out of here.” You whisper to the lawyer, who simply nods. Taking your hand, the two of you leave the classroom, much to your classmate’s protests.

Chapter 4 ~ The Chase

Hidden Depths AU

Previous ~ Masterlist ~ Next (V.1🙂) ~ Next (V.2 Game Over 😭)

Genre: Fantasy whump

CWs: noncon nudity, noncon touch, captivity, creepy/intimate whumper, lady whump, forced to watch, restraints, muzzled/gagged whumpee, blood, knife whump, stabbing, flashback of prior noncon, panic attack, dissociation... fun times in the torture chamber, indeed :)

WC: 1949

A/N: Switching over to Carr's POV, which does overlap slightly with the last chapter. Poor thing is just not having a good time, not at all. :')

Keep in mind that if you kill me, I can't give you the next chapter 😅 (but maybe that's a good thing... uh, I mean... you love me! Yeah, that's better... *mumbles to self*)

Taglist: @kixngiggles

Carr

“Act like a wild animal, and I’ll muzzle you like one,” Marcus said, taking a step away from her.

Carr could feel herself slipping. The vines digging into her cheeks felt like overly large fingers, ones that took up her entire face. She struggled to draw enough air through her nose–in her mind, that was blocked too.

A sour, rancid scent permeated her senses, making her gag. She swallowed the reflex back, afraid of what would happen if she threw up. The hand across her face was slippery and slimy and so gross it made her skin crawl about as much as the whispering in her ear.

“Be a good girl now, and everything will be okay.” Hot breath caressed her cheek, and she thought she might die if she didn’t get to breathe.

Carr squirmed, managing to slip the finger away from her nostrils enough that a thin sliver of blessed air leaked through.

Not real. Not real!

Desperately, she struggled to separate herself from her past. There was a trick she’d learned by accident–if she focused on one thing and concentrated on her breathing, reality would settle. It had varying levels of success, but she had to… had to try. Her gaze skidded around the room, searching for something, anything, to use as an anchor.

She saw a man with sandy blond hair– noooo, not him.

Her heart thrummed in her chest, the individual beats no longer distinguishable. Black spots dotted her vision. She needed to… find something else. Something–-a rusty stain on the floor. No. An iron-banded door. It taunted her with freedom she had no access to. No no no. Chains–oh gods, she couldn’t breathe, she couldn’t–-

Dark brown eyes framed by lank curls. Red-rimmed, full of sorrow, and shining with unshed tears.

Resh.

His regard–his mere existence brought her back into the now. Not that the now was much better, but still.

Her next breath came a little easier, the fog of panic easing from her mind.

What was she supposed to do here? She didn’t look away from Resh, couldn’t look away from him, not while these thoughts raced in her mind. It wasn’t like there were a lot of options, just two, really. Two fucking shitty options.

Should she endure, let Marcus have his way with her? Hope he got bored and killed her quickly? The thought went against every instinct she had.

Or–

Resh’s eyes narrowed, sending a bolt of terrified resolve through Carr, jarring her. She closed her eyes.

Okay, then.

“Submit, and I might go easy on you,” Marcus said, crossing his arms over his chest.

The vines restraining her began to draw away, slithering against her bare skin. Her eyes snapped back open. When she looked at Marcus, she let everything that made her her slip away. Her sense of self burrowed deep, deep, deep, taking with it the pain, the fear, the vulnerability that accompanied the knowledge of what was to come.

One of these days, Carr supposed she might never reemerge, and all that would remain was the shell left behind. It was a shell that lashed out, striking like a threatened viper, driving venom deep into people’s veins to keep them away from her. One that felt nothing, nothing but fiery rage or icy calm.

Before she met Resh, she wouldn’t have cared if she had returned from that state. But now… she gave herself a mental shake. It didn’t matter anymore.

“Come here,” Marcus said, crooking his finger at her.

Carr said nothing. Did nothing.

Marcus sneered and shuffled forward. Apparently, he wanted to make the small distance between them last. Fucker. She wasn’t going to complain, though. His intimidation tactic would work in her favor.

Resh was shouting, and Carr glanced over at him, allowing herself just one moment to take him in for what was likely the last time. Her heart twinged before she ruthlessly shoved that useless feeling back where it belonged.

Impassive, she stared ahead while Marcus approached, busy assessing her body in the time she had left. The old lash marks on her back ached, and the wounds on her chest were on fire, still sullenly oozing blood. Exhausted already from her use of elemental earth and being awake all night, she’d need to make this fight with Marcus quick before blood loss slowed her even further.

Marcus was only a few inches away when Carr finally darted around him. She kept her flight to short, quick bursts while she crossed the room, aiming to frustrate him into doing something stupid while conserving her own energy.

But she slowed quicker than she had hoped, and Marcus caught her arm on the next dodge and feint. Before she could free herself, he spun her around and slammed her into the wall, face first.

Carr managed to turn her head in time to avoid a broken nose, which would’ve been a death sentence with the muzzle in place, but the impact still stunned her. Blood trickled down the side of her face. A dull throb took up residence in her head, and the slice on her chest flared with hot pain when Marcus pressed into her from behind.

“How about now?” he asked congenially, dragging his dagger up her bare thigh, deep enough that it was going to fucking hurt to put weight on now. When he was done, he pressed the tip into her side.

How about you go stick your dick in a rodent trap, Carr wanted to say. Tried to say, but all that came out was mumbled nonsense.

Marcus’ chest vibrated against her back, and the knife tip dug in a little deeper, breaking the skin.

Was he fucking laughing? Fuck. This.

Carr threw her elbow back, hitting something soft and fleshy. Marcus grunted, and she took the opportunity to twist away from his loosened hold and run.

It wasn’t until she stopped some distance away and turned to face him that she realized the cost of that maneuver. As she watched, panting, Marcus cleaned his blade on the front of his shirt, leaving a thick streak of her blood behind on the cream cloth. Too much for what he’d done to her thigh. She looked down, only now feeling the sticky warmth of her blood spilling down her side. The slice didn’t even hurt.

Shit. She pressed her hand against it, trying to stem the blood loss. She wasn’t going to have much longer at this rate.

“Whatever you do, keep fighting,” Resh whispered harshly from behind her, and Carr started, not having realized she was that close to him. “Make him pay for what he aims to take.”

She was trying, but it was all she could do to stay away from him. It was infuriating, really. In more typical circumstances, she could’ve kicked his ass. Well, really, she would’ve downed him with a thrown blade before it came to that, but still.

Marcus charged, ending her rest break, and they began the cycle again. Round and round the small room, her dodging and him chasing. Resh shouted in the background, but neither spared him any attention.

A few times, she dared an attempt to disarm Marcus, to steal that blade, but her efforts were for naught. She didn’t have the energy now for another go. Each breath whistled through her nose, making it harder and harder to fill her lungs. Flashes of light sparked in her vision, ones that didn’t dissipate when she furiously tried to blink them away. Her fingers were slick with blood where she pressed them to her side, and her leg screamed at her each time she put weight on it.

Her only consolation was that Marcus was working just as hard as she was. He no longer smiled, if that’s what one could call the fugly expression that tended to cross his dipshit face. Instead, his chest heaved with each breath, and he looked pretty irritated. Sweat soaked his shirt, spreading her blood across the individual threads of fabric in a starburst of crimson.

Marcus advanced again; this time, Carr was just a hair too slow. He slammed the hilt of his dagger into the wound on her thigh. Her admittedly sorry attempt at a dodge turned into a stumble while she shrieked into her gag. Marcus grabbed her, pulling her flush against his body. She sagged in his hold, barely able to keep herself upright.

It was over.

“No!” Resh shouted. His chains rattled as he pulled against them. “Don’t give up, Carr. Keep fighting!”

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the blood trickling down his arms. Proof of how he’d been struggling to reach her.

It hurt to see he’d been working so hard to get to her, and here she was, just admitting defeat. So, she tried. She lifted her arms, even though they weighed so much, pressed her hands to Marcus’ chest, and pushed.

With a hoarse bark of laughter, Marcus roughly spun her around. The dagger went to her throat while his hand splayed across her abdomen.

Carr froze. Lifting her gaze, she found he had positioned her so that she was face to face with Resh, who was glaring over her shoulder at Marcus.

“That’s more like it,” Marcus huffed, still sounding out of breath.

Resh’s face turned to stone when Marcus’ free hand started moving. Carr blanked it out, along with the feeling of him at her back. She had to. While Resh tried to reason with Marcus, she kept completely still, allowing Marcus his fun exploring.

Eventually, the razor-sharp edge of the dagger wasn’t digging into her throat anymore. She kept her mind blank, refusing to acknowledge where that hand was, where it had been. Who was watching.

Eventually, the muscles in Marcus’ arm relaxed.

The dagger drifted farther away from her throat.

Farther…

Now!

Carr snapped her head back. Something crunched, and Marcus yelped.

That fucking hand disappeared, along with his presence at her back, and Carr staggered away.

Sniffing and sniveling sounded behind her. Carr knew she needed to move, but her body was so done. She looked up at Resh, knew he could see it in the way she stood. It felt like exhaustion was seeping from her very pores.

Then Resh’s gaze sharpened, and he looked over her shoulder.

“You fucking bitch!” Marcus shouted. His voice was slightly muffled, like she had broken his nose.

Good. Now, if only she could force herself to move, follow up on the advantage of his shock.

“Carr. Move! Move now!” Resh yelled. He threw himself forward, only to have the chains cruelly yank him back.

It took her far too long to understand what Resh was telling her. Move not to attack Marcus, but move because Marcus was attacking her. Carr side-stepped and tried to twist away, but not fast enough.

Something slammed into her back.

White-hot pain exploded through her, a firecracker of agony racing through her bloodstream, burning through her nerve endings.

It was so shocking she couldn’t even cry out. He’d fucking stabbed her, in the fucking back! Cowardly cunting bastard.

The pain began to subside, slowly replaced by a curious numbness. Distantly, Carr wondered if this was what dying felt like. A sudden stab of fear twisted in her heart, and she tried to catch Resh’s eyes, but–

Marcus threw her to the floor at Resh’s feet.

She had no chance and even less strength to catch herself, so she landed hard. And as the impact jostled the dagger still in her back, practically paralyzing her with the pain reverberating throughout her body, she discovered she wasn’t that numb after all.

Next V.1 Next V.2 (Game Over)

Has Caroline ever said anything to Matthew about him never having his mouth guard in?

yes, yes she has 🙂

besides the little snippets in wltay at ethan's games [i believe it's the first one matt went to] of her telling him how despite her best efforts, ethan has managed to adopt matt and brady's mouthguard habit, miss ma'am has lectured matt and ethan both on their mouthguards not being in their mouth– even dragging brady into it too 💀

ESPECIALLY when ethan got braces???? oh she was literally on ethan for keeping the mouthguard in his mouth. "we are not paying $$$$ to fix your teeth, just for you to take a stick to the face or a puck and lose a tooth. wear the mouthguard 😡"

the only, only time she's ever gotten mad at matthew for not wearing his mouthguard correctly is during a game when he did one of those stupid little dive moves to protect the goal and the puck ricocheted off of another player's skate and hit him square in the face. bc it was when they were at the game– ethan (15), scarlett (3) and payson (two-three months old) and ya know, mans gets hit in the face and it's a ✨bloody mess✨ so miss scarlett is crying bc obvi she knows he doesn't wear his mouthguard and it's a lot of "daddy teef," "daddy hurt," "mommy i wan see daddy." and ethan just kinda calms her down with "i bet he was wearing his mouthguard, you know he wears it sometimes scar bc he chews on it" just something to kinda get her to calm down.

WELLLLLLL after the game, matt's fine the blood came from his nose and the facemask chipped off and cut his cheek, no teeth were harmed and ya know, scarlett's all happy to see matt and is constantly checking on him like "daddy show teef please." the entire walk out of the arena and car ride home [miss scarlett insisted on riding home with matt] 💀 but when they get home and the kids are all asleep? caroline let's matt HAVE IT. like man's is just walking into the kitchen holding payson and she's like "put the baby down bc i cannot be mad at you if you're holding the baby and i am really mad at you rn" and matt's all 👁👄👁 so he puts payson down in the little soothe n' sway and brings it back with him into the kitchen bc caroline is putting dishes away and he's like "what did i do?" and miss caroline is like "🙂 what did you do? how about you took a puck to the face? hm? i think that's a good place to start. and it's a better follow up with how scar knows you don't wear your mouthguard like your supposed to, you chew on it like a stupid chew toy and so she sees the blood when they show you on the screen and chaos insues." [keep in mind she's putting dishes away and it's getting v loud bc she is doing this intensley.]

and matt's all laughing like "is that why she kept asking me to show her my teeth?" and caroline's like "yes, that's why. so i would appreciate it if you started to wear your mouthguard like everyone else in the league who wears one wears it, because seeing our three year old cry about daddy being hurt and his teeth was not a lot of fun tonight." and he's just all "oh is that the only reason?" [bc man KNOWSSS its not] and she's all "yeah, you wouldn't be cute with a missing tooth. we'd have to divorce, sorry." and he's all 👁👄👁 again and she tosses a dish rag at him like "that's what you get for trying to be cheeky when i'm trying to be serious bc i'm mad at you. of course i was worried when you were down, because i know your shitty mouthguard habit and all i could think about was how many teeth you lost or how much pain you were going to be in bc you were going to need surgery to fix them. so please, for the love of god, start wearing your mouthguard correctly. and if not for me bc i can promise you this won't be the only time i get onto you for it, then for the kids bc scarlett about had a heart attack."

so he's all "okay, okay, i promise. sorry for scaring you and scar" and ya he tries to make sure to wear his mouthguard correctly, but it doesn't change bc that's just his thing and caroline knows it, but pre-game whenever he skates by, he always makes sure the mouthguard is in his mouth so scarlett sees he's wearing it even tho care and ethan know the truth 👀😂

Octopath Travelogue, Olberic Chapter 3

yaaay starting the chapter 3s, I’m excited 🙂

“Hey, you’re not allowed in here without an invitation!” “Oh yeah? HOW ABOUT A DUEL, THEN, TO DECIDE WHO GETS TO oh holy shit you’re at 9/10 strength uhhhhh okay never mind have a good day”

EDIT TWO HOURS LATER: I went back to that guy after beating this chapter and managed to beat him after a long five-minute duel. There’s a black market behind him. No wonder he’s so damn strong. Thankfully after beating the chapter, I was pretty dang rich and Tressa was able to haggle some. I got some PRETTY DANG NICE weapons now. 😎

All three people I asked about Erhardt just say “you mean the man with the sword?” and Olberic goes “yes, that must be him.” How do you know? It’s not like swordsmen are uncommon.

Guards accosting me for walking around asking innocent questions? But I’m a big white man! *crowd boos and I get splatted by rotten tomatoes* okay okay that’s in poor taste, I’m sorry...

...I feel like I’ve seen this Captain Bale before, but not in Olberic’s story. I wish I could remember where.

Random note about the battle system that I never appreciated; the clear delineation of when turns begin...and therefore, a clear indication of when buffs expire. I feel like most turn-based JRPGs in this manner (i.e., you pick an action and they go immediately, instead of choosing the whole party’s actions for the round at once) are always unclear about when exactly the turn begins and buffs that last for X amount of turns expire. It’s good to have it clearly marked in this game.

Only two fights in the “wave of enemies attack” event? Usually they go for three.

Yes, Olberic, Primrose had the audacity to call you the most gallant and good of men. How extremely vexing of her. Just take the compliment, man. 😉

Apropos of nothing, I classed Cyrus into Dancer. He looks wonderful.

wow I got into a fight with a random mob and got the worst fucking luck with Bewildering Dance. Put one enemy to sleep for one turn with Prim. Tried again with Cyrus, silence my entire party. COOL.

god freakin’ dammit another purple chest. THERION’S GETTING OVERLEVELED. I WANT TO USE MY OTHER PARTY MEMBERS DANG IT.

For a moment I was like “the mobs seem to have taken a big step up in difficulty, what the hell is--oh. I’m in a Chapter 3. Duh.” 🙃

gettin’ real sick of these mobs that are two ants and two lizardmen with way-too-big break gauges and are only weak to Olberic’s weapons 😡

also why are these chests giving out such crap amounts of money? I got thousands more leaves per chest in the Chapter 2 dungeons. This cave sucks.

nice, not even an attempt to make the lizardmen surrounding Erhardt seem like a threat. One singular cutscene swipe. We ain’t got time for that shit. We got PLOT...but not too much plot. You will have to fight some lizards.

Aaaaand killed it with a Cross Strike. ...It only occurred to me right after that I could’ve Donated BP with Ophilia’s Merchant skills and let Olberic unleash his ultimate skill for the first time. Dammit.

...oh, shit. Oh, shit. That...I was not expecting that automatic use of Challenge. Shit.

Shit, Patrick Seitz, you are killing this monologue. God damn. (I mean that in a completely sincere sense. Patrick Seitz is amazing.)

And that’s Erhardt defeated with Brand Thunder which, boosted by Abide, did 8700 damage. Ho-lee shit.

I like how I just did the most damage I’ve done in the game up to this point and Erhardt still lives. Not only lives, but is sorta-kinda forgiven.

And that’s Chapter 3. Damn, that was really good. I fuckin’ love this game.
