Tumblr media
The first people to congratulate her, were her parents. They called her, in the middle of the night; they forgot that time zones exist. But her heart was full when she picked up the phone at 3AM and both of her parents where singing ‚happy birthday‘ to her. What wasn’t so good, was that she had to be asleep, because it was a Sunday and race day! But it didn’t matter, it was her birthday!
Two hours later, her phone was ringing again, but this time not because someone was wishing her a happy birthday, no, it was her alarm. But today it was okay. 5AM on your birthday doesn’t feel that early, does it now? At least it didn’t for her.
Andy, her personal trainer, knocked on her door at exactly 6.30AM, holding a tiny cupcake with a candle in it. „Happy birthday, y/n!“, his voice cheerful and happy. Her smiled widened and her heart full with love again. „Thank you, Andy.“
„Are you ready for the race?“, Andy asked her. She nodded and closed her hotel door. „I’m excited to see Danny again and Nando and all the other people of course. Oh and definitely Lewis.“, Birthdays were her thing, she always missed them in school, either she had them on a weekend or she was on holiday. So, being surrounded by people who are important to her, was the best present she could’ve gotten.
On the way to the paddock, Andy let her pick out the music, her car playlist was blasting on full volume. Tongue Tied by GROUPLOVE was her favourite song at the moment, that’s why she was singing at the top of her lungs to the lyrics.
„Take me to your best friends house, go around this roundabout, oh yeah“, she looked at Andy as if he would follow the orders of the song.
The music died down, as they arrived at the paddock. Press was already waiting on her, they knew it was her special day and hoped to get some good footage of the birthday-girl. Usually the media annoyed her this early in the morning, but today, nothing could’ve ruined her day. She smiled and waved to the camera, spoke to some press people and had nice conversations with all of them.
The media always tried to find some gossip, especially on the young driver, but not today. They were happy to see her this happy.
As she set foot on the paddock, people were congratulating her. Pads on the back, some strokes on her arm here and there, everyone was nice to her, and who doesn’t enjoy some attention sometimes. Especially if it’s for something you didn’t work for. It was her favourite day of the year, Christmas is second.
„Danny!“, she shrieked as soon as she saw him. She sprinted towards the Australian and jumped into his arms. „I missed you so bad!“ Daniel just laughed and hugged the young driver. „Happy birthday, y/n.“
Her smile was consistent and contagious, every person she smiled at, they just had to smile back. Even Max smiled at her. Well, he always smiled at her, she was one of the persons that could make him smile.
„Max, can you give me a piggyback ride?“, she looked at him with puppy dog eyes and he just couldn’t deny her. „Of course, zus sister.“
As Martin Brundle spotted the two, he motioned to his cameraman to put the focus on them. „And now we see Max Verstappen carrying the birthday girl y/n. It is not rare to see the young driver interact with the different drivers. Let’s wish her a happy birthday“, he talked into the camera. „Hello you two, happy birthday y/n, am I the first to congratulate?“, the older man looked at her with an amusing look on his face. „Martin, as much as I love you, you are hopefully not the first person to wish me a happy birthday“, she looked at him with a serious face.
„Did Max congratulate yet?“, a challenging look on Martins face, he pointed at the camera and said: „Remember, this is a livestream.“, Max‘ cheeks turned a pretty pink colour and y/n gasped. „He did not!“, she gasped. „Max, you didn’t wish me a happy birthday?!“ - „I’m sorry, schat darling. Happy birthday, my dear.“
But how could she hold a grudge against a face that looked like Sid from Ice Age?
Fernando was the next person she saw, and he instantly grinned at her. „Oh Nando, do you know whose special day it is today?“, she singsang to the oldest driver on the grid. „Hmm, let me guess, is it Roscoes?“, he laughed as he saw her shocked face. „How could you, I thought we were friends?“ - „We are, we are, cariño darling. Feliz cumpleaños happy birthday, y/n.“
„How old are you now, 5?“, he laughed at her. „Har har, very funny Nando. How old are you turning this year, 60?“ She was always getting irritated fast. He grabbed her by her hip and pushed her into a side hug of his. „Don’t ever change, cariño.“
„Don’t have a plan for that, who’d change something as fabulous like this“, her hands were pointing to herself. „But on a serious note, Nando, do you know where Lewis is? I’ve been searching for him.“ Fernando only shook his head, he didn’t know where the British driver was. He rubbed over her hair as she left his side to search for her mentor.
„Oh Lewis! Your favourite person is looking for you“, she shouted over the paddock, with no luck. She didn’t even see a trace of Lew, none. But what she did find, was a monegasque driver with the number 16 and a spaniard driving under the number 55. They were arguing over some bullshit, as always, as they spotted her. „y/n! Over here“, Charles shouted over to her and waved his hand. She ran over to them and greeted the older drivers with a side hug. Carlos quickly kissed her head as he wished her a brilliant birthday. Charles even sang the first to lines of the song.
She was a bit embarrassed, but she enjoyed the attention of the two Ferrari drivers. „I love you guys, but have you seen Lewis?“, she smiled at the two as they rolled their eyes. She just wanted to see her favourite person on the paddock. She loved them all equally, but you couldn’t deny that Lewis definitely was her favourite. „I think I saw him at Mercedes, his motorhome“, Charles told her, she totally missed the sarcastic undertone of his and just skipped along to the Mercedes garage.
Before she even set a foot in the motorhome, Toto Wolff approached her and squished her into a hug. „Alles gute zum Geburtstag, liebes! Happy birthday, darling! How are you, so happy to see you“, he whispered into her ear. She loved Toto. „Hi Toto!“, she grinned up at him, „I’m good, thank you. Do you know where Lewis is?“ Toto laughed and pointed to his drivers room. „Thanks!“, she yelled as she took off.
She hasn’t been to her own motorhome, just wandering around the paddock and taking in all the attention from the others. And as she knocked on the door, she knew she’d receive the best attention of them all.
„It’s open“, she heard and busted into the tiny room. „Hello, your favourite human on this planet has arrived and will be gracing your presence from now on!“ She grinned at him and he only laughed and embraced the girl. „I have a present for the birthday girl? do you know where she is“, he joked and turned around to grab her present. „A present? Aw Lewis, you shouldn’t have, you totally should have.“
The present contained some gag gifts, such as a Mercedes hat and shirt, or some shirts with funny pattern on it. But the original present was a necklace. It wasn’t anything special, really. It was a simple silver necklace with a tiny turtle as a pendant. Her eyes were tearing up, so she quickly wiped them away.
„Is this one of the necklaces that makes you a godparent of a sea turtle?“ - „It sure is, have fun with“ he turned the pendant around and looked at the engraving on it „Yertle. He is now your godchild“, he smiled at her and motioned to y/n to turn around, so he could put the necklace on. „Thank you so much, it means a lot“, she hugged him as a thank you. He smiled at her, he adored the young driver and was grateful that he was apart of her journey.
„Thank you, love you Lewis!“, she yelled to him as she sprinted out of the motorhome. She was finally headed to her own garage. They had planned a surprise party for her and Lewis was the distraction. As she reached her motorhome, she didn’t see anyone. „Hello, is it not race day?“, she joked into the dark.
„Happy birthday, y/n!“
She jumped, her heart was racing, but she had a giant smile on her face. Her heart, once again, was full, full with love.
„Ahh, thank you guys!“, she squealed and sprinted into the engineers and mechanics, just like she won a race, which she hasn’t, by the way. She hugged all of them, thanked all and smiled the biggest smile she ever smiled. „I’m so grateful for all of you! And now, let’s win this race!“
She didn’t win, but was one of her best birthdays so far. And the after party was her personal highlight of the day. There was a huge pile of presents, just for her of course.
Lando was the DJ, Max was standing on a table, preparing to do a toast for her and Danny was laughing and pointing his camera at everybody.
The evening was definitely something she’d remember, maybe not Max‘ toast, as it was very embarrassing;
„Dear people, we have gathered here to celebrate not only my win, but also a birthday of some special person. She is not our girlfriend, which we are all happy about, but they’re all jealous of her, y/n! Happy birthday, you beast, come up here!“
The alcohol definitely made it more bearable, but the fact that Pierre had to drag you to Mac spoke for itself.
„Pierre, let me be, go back to your boyfriend“, she spoke harshly to the French man, but he ignored her with a smirk on his face and brought her up to Max.
„Ladys and gents, the birthday girl herself!“
It was one of the better party’s she attended and when she looked at all the posts she’s been tagged, she found one particular that she liked the most.

AND neteyam go FERAL bc it turn him one (or he can just be a blushing mess ) it can be smut or just fluff if you are okay with it ofc :)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Neteyam x human reader
Tags: crushes, Cute, baby boii neteyam.
Warning:the characters have 20's
Note: As you know my drafts had been deleted. For example this one was going to be much longer. But still, I did what I could remembering what I had already written. I still hope you like it a lot. I didn't want to make this smut, because the next post …. get ready!!! buajajaja
AVATAR MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Neteyam's method of showing affection was hugs, touching and caressing. While on your part it was to turn red as a tomato every time neteyam came closer than a foot away. You had the biggest crush that could exist in all of pandora. And that's saying a lot. Loak was always making fun of your sketchbook that was full of sketches of neteyam, no matter what he was doing. You would sit far away and draw him. But you didn't get too close to him and you didn't talk to him much. While loak, kiri were very close to you, you kept your distance from neteyam. You thought that if you got too close, you would ruin everything.
On the other hand, neteyam thought you hated him. Yes… you hated him with all your soul and he knew it. Every time he tried to reach out to give you a hug. You would open your eyes wide and pull away. Or when they were playing with each other. It was truth or dare… and he chose dare. Spider dared him to give you a kiss. Neteyam got close to your face, he was excited… he saw your face turn red and you pushed him away. Getting up from your place and running out to your room. Everyone was silent, looking at each other. Neteyam was heartbroken, the boy was in love with you and you hated him.
But what bothered him the most was your closeness with loak. Why loak? i mean…the boy was not a good match for you. And yet you were more affectionate with him, it wasn't like you were on top of him all day. But if you let loak put his arm on your shoulder, or let him play with your hair a little bit. Or sit next to you. It was killing him, because he wanted to have that contact with you.
Neteyam had taken the day off, and decided to go to the small station that the humans had set up on one of the islets of the Metkayina clan, after the battles. Norm and several scientists were welcomed to the islands to help. And you were part of that group. "Hey…nete" greets norm as he sees the boy enter. "Hi norm…how are you?" neteyam greets politely. As he tried to look for you somewhere in the small lab. "Are you looking for Y/N?" says norm, teasing the boy a little. Neteyam laughs nervously. At that very moment you emerge from one of the storage rooms. You shift your gaze past neteyam.
"Y/n…h-hello!!!" says neteyam excitedly following a few steps behind you. His tail wagged back and forth, until you felt him tap you on the arm. "I'm so sorry" neteyam moved away a little bit. "Don't worry nete" you looked up to look at neteyam, you saw how excited he was. Maybe he was happy about something else. Norm walked over to you. "Y/N honey…please I need you to help me get some samples. I need you to bring me some leaves of this plant" Norm showed you a picture. "This plant grows in the forested area of this island" you take the tablet to look further into what you were going to look for. "Why doesn't Neteyam come with you?" says Norm, looking at Neteyam to give him a wink. Neteyam laughs a little but shifts his gaze so you don't spot them.
"Ahhh I don't know if…maybe" you say as you muddle over your words. "It's no problem…I'm free" neteyam almost screams with excitement. Once again his tail taps you on the arm, you nudge it a little. "Ready…well go then, I need them before nightfall" says norm, refocusing on his work. "Let's go neteyam" you say, taking the sample tube and handing it to neteyam to put in her waist bag. You stand a little quietly as you watch neteyam's hands slide down to his waist. He looks up to see how you are looking at him. "All good" the boy teases. "Yeah yeah come on" you push him a little. You could push him all day, if this was going to be the only form of contact with you, He was going to let you manhandle him all you want.
They walked a bit through the wooded area, you were in the front and neteyam was in the back enjoying the view. "hey why aren't you wearing the outfit I gave you?" asks neteyam following in your footsteps. "I've kept it…I haven't had a chance to wear it" you say. You hear neteyam chuckle a little, but you decide to ignore him. Sometime later you see the plant near a small waterfall, you walk over and sit down on one of the rocks. Neteyam sits down next to you, pulling out the sample tube. " wow…this plant is beautiful" you say, as you pluck several leaf samples.
"You say you can't use my gift…but look" neteyam touches the bracelet on your arm. "loak gave this to you last week and you are wearing it" spits neteyam waiting for you to react. " nete… this is a accessory, you gave me a complete navi outfit" you say trying to take the sample tube from his hands. Neteyam moves his hands away. "So? I made it myself for you…but it's okay. Everything I do sucks for you," Neteyam says. You remain silent, he just said that you think he disgusts you. "What the hell are you saying?" you say. Neteyam relaxes a little, you can see how frustrated he was.
"Why are you avoiding me…why don't you want me to be by your side? Even now…" neteyam takes the tube and then you watch as he takes your hand and places the object there in the palm of your hand. You didn't want to say anything, you didn't dare. You didn't have the courage to tell him that the only reason you didn't approach him was because you were a nervous wreck around him. You quickly took the samples, and started on your way to the lab. On the way back to the station, neither of you dared to speak. You arrived at the lab, entered and noticed how it was empty.
"He asks me for these samples and then disappears" you complain, as you place the tube of samples on norm's desk. You turn to see neteyam, he was sitting on a improvised couch that norm had created for the size of the avatars. "Neteyam… you don't disgust me" you say, causing the boy to look up. "Really?" the boy scoffs a little. You walk over to neteyam and sit down next to him. "Didn't you like my gift?" asks Neteyam. The boy looks at you, see how you avoid looking at him. "You see…you don't even want to look at me and " you get up from the couch, getting on your knees so you can reach neteyam's face in your hands. You pull him close and kiss him. Neteyam's eyes open wide. You pull away and sit quietly beside him.
Neteyam felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest. His cheeks grew warm, as he broke out in a cold sweat. You had kissed him." I have a notebook dedicated only to you… and I don't come close because I don't know how to act around you" you say shyly. Before you begin to speak, you feel neteyam's lips collide with yours again. But this time you let your emotions fly and do what they have to do.

Restless Night
Pairing: MCU!Peter Parker x Reader
Summary: An impulsive phone call leads to a happy ending
Word Count: 1307
Warnings: Slight angst, smut, pet names, little to no (y/n), mentions of missions, lemme know if i missed anything  
A/N: MCU!Peter - I do plan to write something for TASM!Peter in the future but this was just easier for my brain to set up the scene. I wanted to do something different and challenged myself to write something that was more dialogue-heavy than I’ve written in a while. Not my best work, but a little smutty smut bc why not
I do not own these characters. Do NOT repost my writing and/or fics anywhere without my written permission. Reblogs are welcomed and highly appreciated!
Tumblr media
The soft sound of the television playing a forgotten movie almost drowned out the sound of the phone ringing, tucked under a pillow and muffled. The sweet cusp of sleep was only moments away, being dragged out by the vibrating as the first call ended and a second came through. 
The near unconsciousness caused forethought to be left behind, grabbing the phone, answering the call, and putting it to your ear. A soft "hello?" was all you could muster. 
"Hey, baby."
A tsunami of emotions flooded through your body, suddenly wide awake and hyper aware of everything that was going on; The television was nearing the end of the movie you had put on, your clock reading 1:32, the lights from the cars passing by casting various dancing shadows around your room.  
"I've missed you, baby." 
His voice was sweet, almost addictive and something you hadn't realized was a need buried deep inside you. You shuffled, forcing yourself up and sitting against the squishmallow he'd won for you on your first time, something you hadn't been able to get rid of. 
"Hi, Peter," you voice was quiet, sleep still etched between the syllables. There was a beat of silence between the two of you, "Peter, why'd you call? It's been 10 months."
Peter let out a soft sigh, you could hear him shuffling around. "Missing you really bad tonight, love. M' on a mission," there was another sigh, "I almost got hurt, like really hurt. Thankfully Bucky was there. All I could think about was you."
"Peter!" You voice was now much louder, instantly filled with worry, "Don't go and get yourself ki-"
He cut you off, "I wasn't tryna get hurt, baby. We got ambushed. We had just went in there for me to copy some information onto a drive. Ended up being some rogue Hydra agents, a leg of them we didn't even know existed." Peter was rambling and he knew it, he was starting to think the reason he called was a bad one. 
You sighed, body riddled with a million different emotions, "Pete, why'd you call me?"
"I miss you," his words had a slight whine to them, "I wanna touch you so badly, wanna hold you and kiss you."
If he was there you would have undoubtedly melted into him. The breakup was mutual, but difficult nonetheless. Between trying to focus on your career and all of the responsibilities Peter had, it was near impossible to maintain a relationship - there was no time for date nights or dinner, no time to sit and reminisce and talk about the future. For months, the only time spent together was sleeping in the same bed, which was almost always disrupted by some responsibility. 
You two loved each other, loved each other more than yourselves most days. But it had become too taxing and tiring, the constant worrying, near lack of support because attention was needed elsewhere. So, after a long, tearful date night gone wrong, the two of you agreed to break up, maybe try again when there were less things counting on you both. 
Peter regretted it immediately, but he had wanted to give you space, give you time to flourish and not worry about him. He'd asked M.J. and Ned all the time what you had been up to, he would check your Instagram and Snapchat to see the things you were posting and proud of. He did whatever he could to support you from afar. 
But tonight, tonight he dared to be selfish, he needed to be selfish. Deep down he knew it was wrong, calling you up in the middle of the night because the adrenaline was still pumping through his veins and all he wanted was to be with you. 
"I miss you too, Pete." Your voice was soft again, it always was in moments like this. Where the intimacy lay just behind every fiber in your body. 
He hummed, starting to get antsy as he continued to try to figure out how to say what he wanted. "Baby, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it, Pete?" You almost hated how quickly you answered, how eager you were. 
"Touch yourself, sweetheart. I wanna hear you touch yourself."
The gasp that left you was audible. Peter was never incredibly bold, never the type to initiate unless you two were definitely alone. Even in those moments, it was always sweet and loving. But this, Peter calling in the middle of the night, a desperate whine to his words and an insane neediness that make his tone demanding. 
“Baby, if you don’t want to, you can just hang up. I won’t be upset with you.” You could hear some ruffling and the sound of metal hitting the floor. “I just miss the pretty sounds you make, miss the way your face scrunches up, miss the feeling of your skin against mine.”
This wasn’t a command you were going to disobey. He was still rambling, your mind only half paying attention to the honey-like words he was saying. “Do you want me to use my hand or one of my toys?”
He paused for a moment and you could practically hear the smile spread across his lips. “Use your hand, sweetheart. Run you hands across your body like I would.”
You could hear the moment Peter wrapped his hand around himself, a small groan leaving his lips. You listened to him, it being nearly impossible not to. "Wish you were here, Petey," the words slipped out of you as your fingers danced across your skin, sending goosebumps in their wake. 
Your eyes were pinched shut, listening to every whimper and sigh the came through your phone, doing your best to pretend your own touch was his. "Me too, God, me too. Miss kissing your skin, hearing your little gasps when I nip."
"Peter," you couldn't help but whimper, forgoing anymore teasing and quickly giving your clit the much needed attention. It never took long with Peter for you to become needy and impatient, let alone when it had been almost a year since you heard the noises he was making, "I'm not gonna last long, want you so badly," your words were gasped out between soft moans, instant pleasure radiating from your core already making your body warm.
"Me neither, baby," there was a low groan that slipped from him, strangled as he attempted to hold himself together. With every sound you made, he nearly felt like he was in a dream. But he knew this was real, his subconscious hyper aware of the thin walls in the shitty hotel he was holed up in for the night and the super soldier who undoubtedly could hear him. 
A endless stream of "fuck"s, gasps, moans, and whimpers flooded through each phone. It only took a few more minutes before the coil burst and the warmth of your high shook through your body, thighs quaking and chest heaving. Peter followed suit, a breathy moan of your name as he spilled into his hand and all over his abdomen. 
There was a lingering silence as the  other of you recovered, both taking in what has just happened while relishing in the aftermath. Peter broke the silence first, "Need to get m'self cleaned up," he mumbled. There was another beat of silence from him, "I do really miss you."
You hummed your agreement, shifting yourself into a more comfortable position. "I do really wish you were here." 
He huffed out a small laugh, a sound that was laced with relief and contentedness. "I'll be home tomorrow at 4. I still got my key, I'll bring dinner, and we can talk. How does that sound?"
Now it was your turn to laugh, excitement filling every nerve in your body. "It sounds like a date."

Sparks (Din Djarin x fem!Reader)
A/N: HELLLOOOO everyone!!! Here is the Din Djarin x reader fic I said I’d post. This is my first fic in a few months so please forgive me. I am exhausted, and I’ve been writing this throughout my day (may or may not have been writing and editing in class). Thus, this may be incredibly sloppy. I am so sorry. HOWEVER, this is incredibly SMUTTY so minors SCRAM! I hope you guys enjoy. The song I reference is “Sparks” by Coldplay and it very much inspired this....but so did Cardigan by Taylor Swift. Anyway...enough of me talking...ENJOY!
Summary: Din looking out for you turns into so much more than either of you could have ever imagined (featuring *there’s only one bed*). 
Warnings: Major pining, Jedi!reader, SMUT so 18+, cursing, PIV, fingering/oral (f!receiving) no mentions of birth control so WRAP it before you TAP IT FOLKS, references to canon typical violence and injuries, idiots to lovers, crest still exists bc im a lazy writer... I think that’s it...
Word Count: 3,221
Tumblr media
The stars flash by the Crest in a streaky, messy blur. The light reflects off the beskar clad man next to you. The conversation had died down a half an hour ago. Now you and Din sat in warm, comfortable silence. You should really head to your bunk, but you don’t want to. You’re fighting to keep your eyes open at this point. You feel like a child on the back of a speeder, confidently telling their parents they aren’t tired, that they won’t fall asleep on the way home this time. Every second you get with Din counts, even if it means falling asleep in the cockpit and waking up with a sore back. The uncomfortable chair was worth the reward of just being next to him.
But you’d never let him know that. You couldn’t.
It probably went against his code. Or even worse, there’s always the chance he doesn’t feel the same. The thought alone makes your heart sink to the pit of your stomach. You quickly shake it off and glance over at Din. His visor is set on the deep space in front of you.
“You’re tired,” He says, his modulated voice breaking the silence.
“No, I most certainly am not,” You jokingly insist, shifting slightly underneath the blanket he had gotten for you just a few minutes ago.
“Sure you aren’t, cyar’ika,” He chuckles softly. He knows he’s right, and you do too. But you don’t want to fall asleep, not now. Not when he’s next to you, teasing you, leading you on. It doesn’t matter if this ends in heartbreak. You just want to be with him, to hear his voice, to feel him near you.
You smirk at him, and you hope he’s smirking back underneath that helmet of his. “I’m fine, really,” You insist, your smirk turning into an appreciative smile. He nods and turns back towards the stars ahead.
You quietly wish he was still looking at you.
And then, he breaks the silence again. “Your back is gonna hurt tomorrow if you fall asleep out here,” He says softly, intently. Your heart drums away rapidly in your chest. “Don’t need you getting more hurt than you already do because of me…” He trails off. There’s a sense of sadness in his voice. “I’m supposed to look out for you.”
You know exactly what he’s talking about. The blaster shot, just a week ago. Your hand finds its way underneath your shirt, rubbing softly at the wrap Din had resecured over the injury earlier this morning while you were still on Tatooine.
“Din,” You whisper, inching to the edge of your chair to be closer to him. “I’m here because I chose to be, because I want to be,” You pause for a second to stop yourself from giving away more than you mean to. “And I’d be getting into trouble no matter what, with or without you,” You joke. It was true. Maybe it wouldn’t be bounty hunting, and it certainly wouldn’t be Jedi stuff like your parents had tried to force you to learn throughout your childhood, but it would’ve been something.
If you were to be completely honest, one thing you’re fully convinced of is that whatever it would be, it would always be with Din, in every universe, every timeline. Something called you to him, clung you to him. The stars, the force, something. Whatever it was, it kept you here.
He turns his helmet towards you and stares in silence for a few seconds. Your heart flutters uncontrollably in your chest at the attention. You could feel heat rising to your cheeks. He takes a hand off the controls and reaches towards you, resting his hand on your own.
“Thank you,” He mutters through his vocoder. He’s rarely ever this open, this vulnerable with you.
“You don’t have to thank me for being honest,” You whisper, practically unintelligibly. Your nerves are getting the best of you. One more move from Din and you’ll melt into a puddle of words you’ll never be able to take back.
He squeezes your hand softly and pulls away. Somehow, your hand has never felt colder than it does in this very moment.
After a few minutes, his voice fills the cockpit once again. “Just don’t fall asleep out here, ‘kay? Take the bunk if you’re tired. You need rest.” Despite the modulator there’s a warmth in his voice. You could swear there’s even a hint of care, possibly even love…
No, You think to yourself. Maybe you should head to the bunk. Maybe you do need space from Din. What are you supposed to do when you can’t hold these stupid feelings back anymore? What are you supposed to do when the inevitable happens, when he delivers that final crushing blow, ‘I don’t feel that way about you, I’m sorry.’ You stare off into the distance. You could feel tears prickling at the corners of your eyes. You were doomed from the start. So foolish, so fucking foolish, You think.
“You okay?” Din’s words yank you from your thoughts. He’s staring at you again, and you’re more than positive that there’s a look of concern hidden beneath that visor.
All you can muster is a quiet yes and a subtle nod. Din nods back, but you know he’s not quite buying it. He looks towards the control panel, quickly flicking some lever on. Your eyes are too heavy to pay attention to what he’s actually doing. “I know I’m not as…open as you,” He pauses for a second, debating what to say next, “But if something’s wrong, I’m here. You can talk to me.”
“I know,” You whisper back. And Maker, did you want to.
The cockpit finally succumbs to comfortable silence once again. Despite your endlessly wandering mind, it was even harder to stay awake now. Thinking about all the possibilities and paths was far too overwhelming. It took up more energy than you had. So, just as Din expected, you drift off to sleep, your exhaustion finally taking hold.
He looks over at you, curled up against the co-pilot’s chair, laying on your side, facing him. You had fallen asleep; he knew you would. You always did. Din smirks, you never did listen. He loved that about you, your stubbornness, your independence. He knows you can’t stay like that though, sleeping on that rigid chair, but he doesn’t want to wake you up. You barely sleep enough as it is.
He stands up from the pilot’s chair and walks over towards you, carefully taking your legs under one arm and your upper body under the other. He scoops you up and walks out of the cockpit and towards the one and only bunk on the Crest.
You can feel the cold beskar against your side, your skin slightly exposed as your shirt rides up your stomach. You absent-mindedly nestle into Din’s chest, your eyes slowly fluttering open.
“Din?” You whisper, wrapping your arms around his neck. Part of you thinks this isn’t real, that you’re dreaming, and you’ll wake up in the co-pilot’s chair alone.
He shushes you softly, his thumb gently rubbing circles into your shoulder. “I’ve got you, cyare.” His voice is calmer than usual, more relaxed. “You fell asleep in the cockpit.” He approaches the bunk, loosening his hold on you ever-so-slightly as he carefully places you down onto the bed. But you don’t let go of him, you want to keep him close.
Once he’s sure you’re secure in the bunk, his hands slide out from under your body and up to where your arms rest around his neck. He doesn’t let go. It isn’t until you feel his fingers brushing against your bare arms that you realize his gloves are off.
Maybe now is the time to test the waters. You can feel the word vomit coming up, burning your metaphorical and emotional esophagus. And Maker, do you wish he’d just lay down with you, sleep next to you. Maybe the risk is worth the reward.
“Would you stay with me?” The words finally leave your lips. You’re shocked at your ability to ask a question like that. You had never shared the bunk before. One of you always slept in the cockpit. “You should rest too,” You say, trying to cover up your true intentions.
Din shifts a bit in his spot, but he still doesn’t let go of you. You can see the gears turning in his head. “Okay,” He decides. You practically gasp with shock, and you embarrassingly do your best to hide it.
He takes his armor off, but not his helmet, like he always does. You’ll never get over how he looks without his chest plate, his broad shoulders, his tan skin. You move further into the bunk, giving Din space to climb in next to you. He shuts the door to the bunk, and only once the tiny space has been encased in darkness does he remove his helmet.
You’re up against one another, face to face, no space in between – not even an inch. You’d never been with him when he didn’t have his helmet on. Your stomach does a backflip at the thought that he feels safe taking it off with you, even if it’s in the darkness.
He hesitantly drags his hand up to your waist, resting it softly just above your hip. “Is this okay, cyare?” You had never heard his voice unmodulated. It’s clearer, unadulterated. Honey, golden, but still somehow rough. You want to replay every word that he says.
You hum a yes into the darkness. You nervously bring your hand up to his neck, waiting briefly for him to protest – but he doesn’t. “What’s that mean, cyare?” You ask, struggling to pronounce the word.
He takes a few seconds before answering your question. You can’t help but think that you’ve pressed too far. “Don’t worry about it,” He says finally. Yep, pressed too far, you think to yourself.
You quickly remove your hand from his neck, immediately realizing that you’ve crossed a million boundaries all within a matter of seconds. “I’m sorry I just-,”
He grabs your hand before you can get too far away from him. “It means beloved,” He says curtly. “And cyar’ika,” He pauses, and you can hear him swallow harshly. “It means sweetheart.”
You try not to overthink his confessions, or translations rather. They could just be meaningless pet names that have absolutely nothing to do with how he feels for you. Why get riled up only to be brought back down?
But then again, there’s no avoiding this forever, and there’s no time like the present.
“Din,” You whisper. You’re not sure you can finish your sentence. You can feel his breath brush against your lips. “I…” You trail off, noticing how much the bunk smells like him, musk and spice and something else you can’t quite place.
“What is it, mesh’la?” He asks.
You laugh anxiously to yourself. “You didn’t tell me what that one means,” You say, trying to stall, to buy time.
“I’ll tell you once you tell me what’s on your mind,” He says coolly, as if none of this is affecting him. He knows what he’s doing.
You take a deep breath. “I think about you Din,” You mumble nervously. “All the time, and I think I-,”
He cuts you off, stealing the words from you, as if he could read your mind. “I love you.”
His lips come crashing down onto yours in the darkness. The kiss isn’t rushed or hurried, but there’s a hunger to it, a feeling you’ve never felt before. Din wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer to him – if that’s even possible.
You’re almost upset when he comes up for air. It isn’t enough, you need more. You want to be forged to him somehow, irreversibly, and irrevocably sealed to one another.
“I love you,” You say to him, breathing heavily, your heart beating out of your chest.
“I know,” He says back, his lips meeting yours once again.
His hand slips under your shirt, his thumbs dragging against your skin. Heat rushes to your core and you can’t help but let out a soft moan – after all, you and Din are far beyond touch starved.
He pushes himself up and over you so that you’re held down underneath him. Your hands explore his entire body, his waist, his stomach, his abs, until you finally reach his face. You find his lips with the tips of your fingers. Din peppers them with kisses as you glide upwards towards his nose, then the bags under his eyes, his forehead. You wished you could see his face, but for now this would do. This was more than enough. This was more than you could have ever asked for.
“Wanted this for so long, cyare,” Din says between breaths. He burrows his head into your neck, nipping at the exposed skin. “Wanted you this whole time,” He says, his lips pressed against your ear. It sends a shiver down your spine.
His hands move further up your body, pushing under your bra. “Please Din,” You mumble. “Need you.” And that’s all the permission he needs. He pushes your shirt up and over your head, throwing it somewhere in the mess of bunk, along with your bra.
He rolls his thumb over one nipple before moving to the other. “You’re so fucking perfect, so beautiful,” He sighs, pinching your nipple slightly before trailing down towards the waist band of your shorts. He tugs on the fabric and dips his hand inside. He feels the outside of your panties, already soaked through. “I’ve barely touched you and you’re already so wet for me mesh’la.”
You squirm underneath him. You need him to touch you, to do something, anything. “Din,” You mutter. “I-,”
Before you can finish your sentence, he’s yanking your shorts and your panties down your legs. He climbs back over you, his hand trailing up your inner thigh before diving into your folds and settling on your clit.
“Wanna make you come, pretty girl,” He whispers against your ear, his fingers making quick work of rubbing your clit. You can feel yourself clenching around nothing. His words alone could send you over the edge.
You shudder under his touch as he quickens his pace. “Feels s’good,” You moan into his mouth as his lips come down onto yours.
“Doing so good for me,” Din murmurs. “Being such a good girl.” You can feel yourself getting closer and closer as Din’s fingers press harder against your clit, circling faster. You throw your head back and moan his name.
Then, out of nowhere, Din’s hand leaves your heat. You need more, you need to feel him. “Please don’t stop,” You beg shamelessly. The covers shuffle as he moves, and you can feel the weight of the mattress sink a bit.
He doesn’t give you much time to grieve the loss of his fingers, his tongue dragging up the inside of your thigh. “Oh fuck,” You whimper as Din’s mouth meets your heat. You can feel his beard softly scratching against your legs. He brings his fingers towards your folds, pushing inside. “S-shit,” You stutter as Din pumps two fingers in and out of you.
His tongue alternates between swirling around your core and sucking roughly against your clit. “You taste so good, so fucking good,” Din’s voice vibrates against you, making it harder to hold on. “Can’t wait to be inside of you.” His fingers pick up their merciless pace, pumping in and out.
“Din, I-I can’t…” You trail off, unable to finish your sentence. You’re on the brink, you can’t hold back any longer.
“I’ve got you, pretty girl,” Din coos. He laps at your folds in between sentences. “Let go for me mesh’la.”
You feel your walls tightening around his fingers as waves of searing hot pleasure wash over you. “Din!” You cry out, his fingers still pushing in and out of your folds, his mouth still sucking softly against you. He slows his pace as you come down from your high before finally pulling away from you.
He pushes himself back on top of you, his forehead coming up to rest against yours. You reach down, your fingertips brushing against his erection.
“Need you inside of me, Din, please,” You beg, jerking him off gently through his pants. Din groans audibly, and you stop for a moment to hook your fingers under his waistband. Din helps you, shoving them and his boxers down his legs and casting them off into the mess that you two had made.
He grabs his cock in his hand, jerking it off a few times before lining himself up with your entrance. You can feel the head of his length as he pushes through your folds and sinks all the way inside you. You can feel tears prickling at the corners of your eyes as he fills you up. He moans your name, and it hangs in the air, reverberates against the walls of the bunk.
“So fucking tight for me,” He groans, pulling himself out of you to pump back in and bottom out. He’s so deep inside of you, hitting the right spot with each thrust. “You feel so good.” You clench around his length at the sound of his voice.
He reaches down, the tips of his fingers once again finding their way to your clit. Din immediately begins rubbing rough circles, just as he did before. He finds his pace, rutting in and out of you rhythmically. It isn’t long until you feel yourself growing closer to your peak.
“Din,” You sigh, barely able to get a word out. “I’m so close.”
“M-me too, pretty girl,” Din stutters, somehow finding a way to pump into you harder and faster. “F-fuck, taking me so well.” He presses harder into your clit, circling around your core. You bring your hands up to his back, digging your nails down into his skin. It was too much. You could feel yourself getting closer with each thrust. You can feel your walls tightening uncontrollably around him. “That’s it, good girl. Come for me.” And you can’t help but give in.
“D-Din!” You practically scream his name, coming undone around him. You throw your head back, seeing sparks and stars as you hit your peak. Din is close behind, his pace growing sloppier as he comes inside you. He slowly thrusts in and out before pulling out.
He takes a deep breath, his forehead coming down to rest on yours.
“You’re so perfect,” He whispers, his breath ghosting your nose. “Shouldn’t have waited so long to do that…” He trails off, pressing a chaste kiss to your lips.
“I love you Din,” You say, still out of breath. “I always have. I would’ve waited longer if I had to.”
He kisses you again, even gentler than last time. “I always knew you’d be the death of me,” He chuckles. You can feel his laugh vibrate through his face, through his whole body. No beskar, no hiding. “And I promise, I will always love you, cyar’ika…
“Always.”
Yeah, I saw sparks
Yeah, I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah, I saw sparks

Crazy
Kaz Brekker x reader
Summary; the enemy of your enemy is your friend... unless they are also your enemy
Warnings; blood?, knives, uhhhh violence lmfao, enemies to lovers
Words; 2,000+
This didn't end the way I wanted it to but that's okay
The inspo was from the song Trouble by Valerie Broussard
I'm prolly gonna make a pt. 2 bc im cool
Btw,, when introducing the Night Scarlets, each member will have their code name like this, name (code name)
Tumblr media
We wear red so they don’t see us bleed
Kaz Brekker hated many, many people. However, there was one group, in particular their leader, that he hated most. The Night Scarlets. Or the Cardinal, their leader. She has been after Kaz since he joined the business. She and her girls have stolen countless of missions right from under his nose, always having his Crows do the work then swooping in and taking over. She infuriated her.
Hundred dollar bills under our sleeve
We intend not to sleep ‘til we’re dead
The thing Kaz never understood was how. How did she know everything he had planned? He had thought it was spies at first, possibly he had a rat in his nest. But no. Even when he went on solo missions. The Cardinal would always know. 
Drink our problems right out of our heads
Singing oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Trouble
(Trouble)
Singing oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Here comes trouble
(Trouble)
“Now, not a word to a single soul about this mission. Hear me?” Kaz asked lowly to his Crows. “If the Night Scarlets find out about this and ambush us I will take each of your hands and shove them down your throats. Am I understood?” The Crows nodded nervously.
“Kaz.” Inej started. “You do know we’ve never said anything before, right? I don’t know how but they always find out, whether we talk or not. She always knows.”
Kaz sighed, “I know.” He answered shortly, turning to look out the window.
Dangerously havin’ the time of our lives
These boys are just poisonous thorns in our sides
“So what do we do about them? I mean, I love the ladies, don’t get me wrong. But these ones gotta go.” Jesper said, toying with his new gun he had just stolen.
“I don’t know if there’s anything we can do, Jesper. They’re practically non existent when they aren’t in action.” Nina responded.
“I mean, there has to be a way to catch them. No one can be completely invisible forever.” Wylan said, his brain running through thousands of possibilities. “Maybe we can set a trap for them?”
Matthias snorted, “They’ll turn that into a trap against us. Bad idea.”
“Well, we need to do something. I need money!” Jesper argued.
“You don’t need it, you’re just going to gamble it all!” Wylan said, raising his voice slightly.
Starting fires wherever we go
Watching ‘em gamble everything they own
The group stopped arguing as the sound of glass breaking filled the room. KAz swung his cane one more time and a strangled bird cry came out. He stuck his hand out the broken window and grabbed the bird. Throwing it onto the table in anger.
“A cardinal.” Inej whispered.
Kaz slammed his hand down on the table, “She knows! She knows! How does she always know!” He yelled, picking up a glass and throwing it all the wall, causing Nina to flinch and Jesper instinctively step closer to Wylan. Kaz looked up with death in his eyes. “Change of plans. We’re killing the Cardinal. No matter the cost.
Singing oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Trouble
(Trouble)
“Ready girls?” Y/n whispered into the small, barely workable communication device that her Fabrikator, Aisha (Raven), had been working on for months. 
“Yeah.” Luna (Eagle) whispered back.
“Ready, C.” Patty (Hawk) responded.
“Steph?” Y/n asked as she pulled her dark red hood over her head.
A few grunts were heard before Stephanie's ( voice filled their ears, “Yep, ready boss.”
Y/n smiled as she began to climb down the walls of the building to the top window, careful to stay out of the Wraiths' sight. “Great. Let’s commit some crimes. Shall we?”
Stephanie giggles, the clicking of her guns being prominent. “Oh, we shall. Ooo, my fellow sharpshooter, my favorite.” 
The line went quiet as Y/n carefully crawled through the opened window, landing silently in the office. She walked briskly to the desk, quietly rummaging through the drawers. She let out a gasp as her arm was pulled back and a familiar cane wrapped around her neck, causing her back to be flush against someone's chest.
Trouble coming in the dead of night
Trouble making everything alright
“Looking for something?” Kaz said quietly into her ear, proud as to finally catch the Cardinal. 
Y/n sighed with a smirk, “Yes. I am.” She said before kicking out his leg, being sure to not hit his bad one. He grunted and took a step back, keeping the cane around her throat. She took the chance to duck out of the way and push him back against the wall, raising her dagger in between the two.
“Y’know, I was very offended to find out you killed my bird.” Y/n said, her hood shielding her eyes.
“Should’ve told it to stay away. The Crow is stronger than the Cardinal after all.”
Y/n laughed, “Oh, Kaz. You should know by now strength is not the most valuable trait of this lifestyle. It’s intelligence-” Kaz’s eyes widened.
“In which I’d have the upperhand on both of you.” A new voice said as two arms knocked the dagger from Y/n’s hands, bringing them behind her back and ripping the hood from her head. Kaz stared at her as people grabbed him as well. He had never truly seen the Cardinal without her hood, and he hated to admit how her face made his heart stutter,
It’s in your blood
It’s in your bones
You cannot sleep for
You cannot sleep for
The two hostages were dragged down the stairs to see their fellow partners bound in ropes. They pushed the two down on their knees next to each other, causing Kaz to let out a grunt as his leg bent weird. Y/n sighed, disappointed in her lack to see the real trap behind Kaz’s. 
“Well, well, well. Look what I have found.” Pekka said with a disgusting smile, looking at each of the criminals tied up. “A bunch of little thieves who think they are so smart.” Pekka continued on his speech as Y/n struggled with her binds. If only she could reach her ear.
“Kaz.” She whispered quietly, careful to not let the boasting man hear.
“What?” He hissed angrily.
She sighed again, “I need you to kiss my ear.”
Kaz almost looked like he was going to hurl, causing the girl to roll her eyes. 
“What the fuck? No way.” He whispered back.
Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh
Tro-tro-trouble, trouble
“Do you want to get out of this?”
“How will kissing your ear help?”
“Just do it, for Saint’s sake!”
“Hey! Quiet, little bird.” Pekka said, walking over and caressing the girl's face with her own blade. She looked at him in disgust and spit in his face, causing everyone's eyes to widen. Pekka calmly wiped the spit from his face before angrily sliding the dagger against her cheek, slicing her skin.
Y/n smiled at him, “Red is my favorite color, you know?”
Pekka glared at her in anger, “Useless slut.” He said before walking back to his men, pulling them into a circle and talking quietly.
“Now!” She whispered to Kaz who reluctantly brought his lips to her ear, ignoring the water pooling around his knees. His lips met a piece of cold metal and he pulled back, actually looking into her ear to see a weird device.
“What is that?” He questioned, eyebrows raised.
Y/n ignored him, “Raven, are you there?” She whispered to nothing, before a relieved smile came across her face. “Emergency. Help. Now.”
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Here comes trouble, trouble
After a few moments the door of the house burst open, letting in birds of all different kinds, all flocking around and clawing at anything they could get their claws on, Pekka and his men included and targeted.
“Hey, Cardinal.” A voice whispered from behind the girl as she cut her restraints.
“Raven, good timing.” Y/n responded with a smile, taking the dagger Aisha handed her. “Free the other Scarlets. Leave the Crows for now.”
“No, you let us go. I helped you.” Kaz protested as a few of Pekkas men ran out of the house.
“No can do, Brekker.” Y/n said before pulling her hood back up and going to fight off the men that weren’t scared by the birds.
After a few moments a disgruntled, furious yell broke out, “I will get you and kill you all!” Pekka screamed as he ran from the house, scratches littering his skin.
Y/n whistled to the birds, causing them all to stop and fly out the door, their duty finally fulfilled. Her Scarlets stood beside her as she studied the Crows, still tied up and on the floor, a few adorning bird scratches.
“Free them.” She demanded her girls, who broke out in protest. She raised her hand and they silenced. “They will not kill us. They need us, as we need them.” She addressed their concerns and they reluctantly cut the ropes binding their hands. Immediately Inej stood and got into a fighting stance. Her fellow Crows followed after, other than Kaz, who simply lifted his hand to tell them to be calm.
“We need you, do we?” He asked, taking a step towards the Cardinal.
“Yes, as do we, you. Pekka Rollins is, obviously, after us both. We are small groups. Six in yours, five in mine. Rollins has dozens of Dime Lions. It is simply impossible for one of us alone to take him down. You know that, hence why you didn’t let your Crows attack. Isn’t that correct?”
“Unfortunately it is. We shall work together.” Every bird in the room protested. “Until Pekka is down.”
Y/n smiled and held out her hand, “And then you can go back to getting bested by the Night Scarlets. 
“I’m not planning on it.” He said, not raising his hand, and Y/n, ever so observant, had noticed his touch aversion ages ago.
“Air shake.” 
“No.”
“Come on.”
“No.”
“It’s not a deal unless we shake on it.”
“No.”
“I’ll kill you.”
“No.”
“You don’t have weapons.”
“No.”
“I’m smarter than you.”
“No.”
“I’m cooler than you.” Everyone laughed, even Kaz had let a small, smug smirk fall upon his lips.
“You aren’t.” He said, pretending to shake the girl's hand without touching it.
There are dogs on the loose, there are snakes in the desert (in the desert)
I’m that knife in your boot, girl, I got ya (Girl, I got ya)
I’m your number two man in a fight (In a fight)
“And then, we win. Easy peasy.” Y/n said, finishing explaining the plan to the now group of nine.
“Easy peasy my ass.” Jesper mumbled.
“Language, Jes. A kruge.” Y/n smiled triumphantly as Jesper rolled his eyes and handed the girl a kruge. In the three months the two groups had been working together they had become quite close.
“Oh, yeah. I’m so ready for this. We’re so gonna win.” Patty said with a large smile, her arm linked with Nina’s who nodded along.
Y/n laughed slightly, “We will. Now go. Get rest. You’ll need it. We have a big day tomorrow.”
We are revolutionaries tonight
Singing oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Trouble
(Trouble)
The office emptied, leaving the Crow and Cardinal. Kaz stared at the map, thinking hard.
“Kaz, what’s on your mind?” Y/n asked, placing her hand next to his to provide comfort without actually touching him.
“We can’t do it. We aren’t strong enough.” He muttered and Y/n laughed. Kaz looked at her in annoyance.
“Kaz. We are just about the strongest lot Kerch has seen. We’ve got this. We’re the coolest bunch in Ketterdam.”
Kaz shook his head with a smile he only let out around her. A genuine, happy smile. “Yes, we’re so cool. Do cool people always talk about how cool they are, though?”
Y/n nodded, “Obviously. Have you met me?” She asked with a teasing smile.
“Unfortunately, I have.” 
Trouble coming in the dead of night
Trouble making everythin’ alright
Y/n put her hand over her heart with a gasp. “I’m hurt. You, Kaz R. Brekker, have wounded me right in the heart.” He smiled at the use of his real last names initial, something she had always done once she learned his last name was truly Rietveld. 
It’s in your blood
It’s in your bones
You cannot sleep for
You cannot sleep for
“Oh no, Kaz, I'm Feeling light headed.” Y/n said, stumbling back towards the bed. She fell once the back of her calves hit the bed frame. “I see the light!” She said, reaching her arm up towards the sky. “Oh, it’s getting brighter! Kaz! It’s getting brighter!” She portrayed blood spurting from her chest, before spasming and falling limp, her tongue hanging from her mouth.
She failed to hide her smile as Kaz’s oh so beautiful laugh filled the air. It was like music to her ears. Compared to most people, Y/n got through Kaz’s walls rather quickly, which surprised everyone, including Kaz himself. She had provided him a safe space, free from the water and cold skin and lifeless eyes.
Y/n continued to play dead even after the laughter stopped, not failing to hear the footsteps nearing the bed, causing her heart to speed up. In just a moment, a soft hand gripped hers and pulled her body up as Kaz pulled her into a hug.
“Thank you.” He whispered, before quickly pulling away before the water rose above his head.
Heat creeped up Y/n’s neck, “For?”
“Making me look cooler by your loserness.” He simply said before walking out, pretending nothing happened.
Y/n smiled to herself, falling back onto the bed, a dreamy sigh falling from her lips. She kicked the air while giggling in excitement. Oh, how whipped the Cardinal was for the Crow.
Crazy.
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
Here comes trouble, trouble

hey! anon here who asked for the prompt with the ‘you know you don’t have to’ prompt with rooster! i’m back with more angst bc apparently ovulating gives me the craving to cry.
so.
14. “You don’t want this do you?” with rooster
💃
Tumblr media
pairing: Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw x female!reader synopsis: reader is pregnant, but it's not Bradley's baby. warnings: mentions of cheating, dagger squad being a bunch of assholes. prompts list:)
|| masterlist || Kofi:) || whumptober ||
Bradley never imagine his life would be like this. He never imagine that he would be called back to TOPGUN, that he would reconcile with his godfather, that he would have fallen in love with a young lady in a bar, or that he would be building baby furniture for said young lady's baby.
Bradley had never believed in 'love at first sight' until he saw Y/N, sitting alone in the Hard Deck one night. he had gone up to Penny asking about the girl who looked like she had been through hell and back. Penny didn't say much, just that she was a local girl and she had come in a couple times with some guy. Bradley ordered her a drink, and walked over to her.
"Hi, I'm Bradley," He said.
"Hi, I'm Y/N."
"Can I sit with you?"
"Sure," She smiled and gestured to the empty seat in front of her.
They had spent the whole night getting to know each other, time slipping away until Penny called last call. Bradley looked down at his phone and saw that it was 3AM, and he'd have to be at the hangar in less than 4 hours. He had walked Y/N home that night, asked for her phone number, and kissed her cheek. He had spent those few hours of shut eye dreaming about her, and waiting for her text.
Though, it never came, and Bradley was devastated. He didn't get it, he thought that the night went fine, but he thought that maybe Y/N was just putting on an act to be nice to him. It spent two weeks waiting for a text from her, looking at his phone every chance he got. His fellow aviators noticed something was up with him, but they didn't mention it. By week three, Bradley's sadness had turned into anger. He had decided to forget Y/N even existed. . . until he found her one day, sitting on the beach in front of the Hard Deck.
"Nice seeing you here," Bradley said, walking up to her. Y/N pushed herself up from the sand.
"Bradley, I can explain-"
"So is this what you do then? Sweet talk men all night into buying you drinks, and take them home? Sorry, I didn't sleep with you, but that doesn't mean its okay for you to-"
"I'm pregnant," Y/N blurted out.
"I-I didn't. . . we didn't-"
"It's my ex's. We broke up, a couple months ago," Y/N said, "He was cheating on me. I didn't mean to ghost you, I was busy trying to move from his house into my own place, and then I find out I'm ten weeks pregnant. I am so sorry, I really am. I like you Bradley, a lot, it's just I-"
Bradley cut her off by kissing her. She froze for a moment before relaxing into the kiss. Bradley pulled back and looked at her.
"I'm sorry, that was totally inappropriate-"
"Do it again."
"Okay."
Since that day on the beach, almost eight months ago, Bradley had pretty much moved into Y/N's house. His friends thought he was absolutely insane for getting involved with a woman who was set to have someone else's baby, but Bradley could careless about it. He loved her, and her soon to be child as if it was his own. For as much as anyone knows, the baby was Bradley's.
He had told Y/N at the beginning, that if she didn't want to be with him, to say the word, and he would back off. She had her reservations, about dating while pregnant with someone else's baby, but she had no feelings towards her baby daddy (just anger). She was in love with Bradley too. They agreed to take things slow, well, as slow as they could go with a baby on the way. But Bradley had promised her, whatever happens, they would always be friends.
Y/N and Bradley walked hand in hand through the Hard Deck over to the corner where Bradley's work friends were all at. They all shared a look as Bradley walked over to them, smiling wide.
"Hey!" He greeted them, and was met with a chorus of greetings as well, "What am I missing?"
"Just Bagman beating Bob's ass in pool. . . again," Coyote pointed out.
"Not sure how you manage to be this terrible, Floyd," Hangman said, lining up his shot, "Rooster, Y/N, how are things?"
"Good," Y/N answered giving him a smile. She could feel the awkward glares of his friends on her. Bradley had assured her that she was liked by the squad, but she thought otherwise. They always looked at her weird, and it made her uncomfortable. They also seemed to ignore her when ever she was around.
"Drinks?" Phoenix asked, looking at the two of them.
"I'm good, thanks,"
"Obviously," Phoenix scoffed, rolling her eyes, "Bradshaw?"
"Jack and coke," Bradley rambled off his usual, "Actually, scratch that, just water."
"You're not drinking? You always have at least a drink," Fanboy said.
"I gotta drive home," Rooster shrugged.
"Okay? And it's one drink?" Hangman pointed out.
"Still not taking the risk of something happening. I'm staying away from the juice for awhile. At least until we can both drink," Bradley said, and put his arm around Y/N's waist.
"So that's why," Phoenix said, "Being a buzzkill and it's not even your kid."
Y/N felt like a dagger had gone through her chest at Phoenix's words. She could feel the hot tears welling up in her eyes and she looked down at her shoes, as Phoenix walked over to the bar. Bradley pulled Y/N into his side and kissed the top of her head.
"I'm gonna go to the restroom," Y/N said softly, hoping he didn't hear the break in her voice.
"You okay?" Bradley asked, and Y/N nodded, untangling herself from his side and heading towards the bathroom. Bradley watched her until she walked into the room, and turned to glare at his friends.
"Here, got you one anyway. Think you need it," Phoenix said, handing him his usual drink.
"What the hell is your problem?" Rooster asked.
"Mine?" Phoenix looked taken aback.
"All of yours!" Bradley said, pointing to his team, "You guys have been treating her like shit since she met you! Seriously, what's the fucking deal?!"
"Look, I think I speak for all of us when I say, we have some concerns," Jake said, leaning up on the pool table, "One, she's pregnant."
"And?" Bradley crossed his arms across his chest.
"And it's not even yours," Phoenix said, "We know you want to be the good guy and save the day, and all this. . . but are you sure she's just not using you? I mean, you'd be the perfect one for her to try and pull a fast one on. You have a gentle heart, you're nice, you got free health care."
"You think she's using me to get healthcare?" Bradley yelled.
"Bradley. . . " Bob said softly, and nodded his head to the person standing behind him. Y/N stood there with tears in her eyes as she looked at the team in front of her.
"I'm sorry for interrupting," Y/N said, and pushed through Bradley to grab her purse from the table, "I gotta go."
"Y/N!" Bradley called after her as she made her way through the Hard Deck. He turned around and his chest was heaving, "You guys are supposed to have my back. That's what a fucking team does. . . but fuck all of you."
Bradley didn't even bother to take a glance at his team, as he followed out the same way that Y/N did. He walked outside to see her dialing someone's number as she waited on the sidewalk.
"Y/N!" Bradley said, running up to her. She hung up the phone and looked at him, "I'm sorry for them-"
“You don’t want this, do you?” She asked.
"What?"
"This," She gestured to herself, "Bradley, it's not just me that you get. You get me and this baby," She looked down at her shoes, not baring to look up at those soft, big brown eyes any longer, "And you have been wonderful these past months, being more than I could ever ask for, but I just don't-"
"Are you breaking up with me?"
Y/N looked up at him, and could see his eyes turning red with tears, "That team means so much more to you than I ever could. They can do more for you than me. And I won't be the thing that breaks you apart. We won't." She held her belly with her hand. Bradley put his hands on both sides of her belly, and shook his head.
"See, this is where you are wrong. You both mean more to me than they do. You both can do more for me than they can," Bradley said, "I love you, Y/N. I love you, and this baby, more than you will ever freaking know. I know this whole thing isn't ideal, and I respect whatever decision you want to make. If you want to break up with me, than I respect that. But I also won't let you break up with me because you believe something that isn't true. I could walk away from the team tomorrow and be just fine with the two of you."
"I would never let you do that," Y/N said, shaking her head.
"I know, but I would," Bradley said, "I would leave it all so quickly if that meant spending everyday with the two of you." He gently cupped her face in his hands and brought her in for a kiss. The second their lips touched, he felt a kick come from within her womb. Bradley chuckled, and kneeled down in front of her, "Hey! I said the two of you," He placed a kiss on the spot he felt the kick come from, "Please don't break up with me. At least give me the chance to really make you mad by leaving the toilet seat up, or mixing colors and whits."
Y/N giggled, and ran her hand through his curls, "I love you too, Bradley. Now get up, before they come out here and think you're proposing."
Bradley smiled, and stood up, "I will, one of these days. Now come on, I wanna go snuggle with my babies." Bradley put his arm around her waist and walked towards the bronco.
"Bradshaw!" He heard his name being called from the door of the Hard Deck. He turned around to see Phoenix walking down the steps, "I uh. . . I wanted to apologize, to the both of you. I'm sorry for acting like a bitch. It's just. . . I care about you."
"That doesn't give you a free pass to be a bitch, Trace," Bradley said.
"Bradley. . . "
"No, it's okay, Y/N, I deserve it," Phoenix said, "I just want you guys to know I'm sorry."
Bradley nodded and Phoenix turned on her feet awkwardly, walking back into the Hard Deck. Y/N reached up to gently grab his face, pulling him down into a kiss. Bradley squeezed her tight as he kissed her.
"Let's go home," Y/N said, and Bradley nodded, taking her hand and leading her to the bronco.

something beautiful — s. riley
synopsis: the 141’s new on-field medic is strange one. the understatement of the century in ghost's opinion. but when a bandaid starts to become something more than he ever thought possible, he realizes that maybe, they're not as strange as he thought.
note: reader’s past is based off a cod oc of mine and their call sign is “patches”! no mention of y/n! gender neutral character bc it's literally not hard to write one??
warnings: blood, violence, swearing, suggestive comments, asshole!ghost, and some others!
Tumblr media
╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── 🔪💀🩸 ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── 🔪💀🩸 ── ⋅ ⋅ ─���╮
DEATH HAD BROUGHT THEM TO THE 141, AND GHOST WAS SURE DEATH WOULD BRING THEM OUT. They’d barely been given time to mourn their on-field medic before another had been assigned. Desperate to keep the 141 alive, Ghost had bet. No one had bet against him. They knew not to make bets they knew they’d lose. But, none of the team had expected someone so soon. The base had felt darker since she’d left, been taken from them, and it seemed impossible to bring any of the light back. The replacement had big shoes to fill, and hearts to mend, bones to set, and souls to soothe. It wasn’t an easy job, Ghost knew that, but anything seemed easier than this. But, someone had to be the one to bandage them up, save their life, and serve. Ghost just wasn’t sure what kind of person had been chosen for that honour just yet.
Ghost first has the honour of meeting them with blood dripping down his neck, nail marks screaming bloody murder around his throat. König hadn’t gone easy on him, and he had the scars to prove it. His body seemed to groan in protest as he shuffled towards the sterile halls of the infirmary, into unknown territory. He would have skipped the visit entirely if Price hadn’t been present and ordered him to seek help. Ghost didn’t need help, much less some rookie’s. But, he wasn’t one to disobey a direct order, and Price had used that to his advantage. Bastard.
The infirmary was his least favourite place. It reminded him of the face of death he’d stared down and spat at more than once. These halls carried cries deep in the night, and the tormented souls of the unlucky, who died under scalpel and caring hands. This would never be a happy place to him. It stank of death and antiseptic, a smell that made his insides curdle and shrink away. It wasn’t a phobia, Ghost wasn’t afraid of anything, it was simply an association of pain and white walls and LED lightbulbs.
The door to the infirmary was half open, and Ghost heard rustling inside. Papers, equipment, and a voice. It was quiet, but not in the way that made it hard to hear. He heard every word perfectly, but it was almost timid, as if it was afraid to taint the place it was inhabiting. Ghost didn’t bother knocking, he never did. Knocking was a waste of energy. Privacy didn’t exist in hell, anyway.
The first thing he noticed was that the blinds were pulled up, letting the dim light from the cloudy sky seep into the room like a wine stain on clean carpet. The last doctor hadn’t wanted light in here, said it threw off her work. And Ghost had been glad that the darkness existed. Another boundary between himself as the person who worked on him. It almost seemed too bright in here now.
The second thing the soldier noticed was that the source of the voice had vanished. The room was a corpse in its own right. As he stepped farther in, his footfalls echoed and touched the back of his mind as he looked around. The door to the connected office was open, and boxes were piled inside, neatly labelled and unopened. Had he imagined the figure? His mind had shown him worse. Ghost wouldn’t be surprised if it was playing tricks on him again.
“Ah, hi!” A small voice spoke from within the room. Ghost’s eyes canvassed the hull of the med bay, but saw no one. What the fuck?
“I’m, uh, down here!” His eyes moved down to see a figure crouched underneath an exam table. Ghost blinked at the hunched medic in confusion and they wiggled in their position. It looked like they were reaching for something. “Ah, fuck, ow!” A loud thud echoed through the room, and Ghost could only assume that the new medic had smashed their head off something. Great, the new medic was a fucking numptee, just what he needed. Ghost was already dreading this encounter more than anything, and he fought the urge to turn and walk right out. He would have done so if the looming threat of Price wasn’t a variable. Stupid softie could be bloody scary when he tried.
The figure popped up, a hand coming to rub the top of their head. Their messy hair was a disaster, like they’d run their fingers through it so many times. There was a flustered smile on their face, one Ghost didn’t return.
“Sorry about that,” again, Ghost didn’t say anything. The medic didn’t seem to mind, though. “You must be Ghost! I was warned about you!” Ghost blinked slowly, like a cat. The medic grabbed a discarded clipboard and their eyes quickly drank in his medical charts.
“Price told me you were a quiet one, and that you can be a bit of an ass. We should get along nicely!” What part of that was nice? He didn’t want to get along with this new medic. They were loud and clumsy. And, from what Ghost could see, not suited for their job. They didn’t even have a lab coat on.
“If you cooperate we should be done pretty quickly!” They seemed sure about it. They patted the exam table and vanished into their office. By the time Ghost sat down, they had a lab coat and proper gloves. Their hair had been smoothed down as well, but it still seemed to stick up in odd places.
“Why are you here, Ghost?” They asked, and Ghost huffed, his frustration becoming obvious.
“Aren’t you s’posed to know that?” He griped, but the medic only smiled at him. He found himself hating it.
“Oh, so he can talk!” Their voice was supposed to tickle, but it sounded like nails on a chalk board. Ghost only huffed and rolled his eyes and pointed to the side of his neck, where the bleeding cuts were becoming red and irritated.
Instantly, the medic’s demeanour changed, but the teasing smile stayed. But their eyes had lost the spark and became something akin to seriousness. “Yikes,” was all they said as they reached onto a neatly organized cart of medical supplies. “I’d hate to see the other guy,” an afterthought almost. Ghost’s eyes moved to focus on them as he felt a sting of antiseptic. He didn’t flinch, but there was a sharp intake of air.
“Sorry,” the apology was instinctual, not meant to ease his mind in the slightest, so it didn’t. The stinging began to subside after a couple wipes, and Ghost’s shoulders loosened. The wipe was cold and made goosebumps line his arms. The medic was too busy making sure his cuts were clean. Their eyes narrowed, tongue stuck between their teeth, glasses down at the end of their nose.
The wipe withdrew, and the air attacked Ghost's exposed flesh, the goosebumps returned. "It won't get infected because I saved you," their tone seemed genuine, it dripped with pride. The medic had turned away and moved across the room towards a big cabinet that was overflowing with gauze, bandages, casts, and anything else Ghost could think of.
"Are you a Star Wars guy?" The question made Ghost's brows furrow in confusion.
"Am I a what?" He only asked because there was no way he'd heard that right.
"Are you a Star Wars guy?" The medic asked again. They turned to face him, their arms loaded with multiple boxes and bandaids. In one hand, Star Wars, in the other, Hello Kitty. Ghost scoffed, this had to be a joke, right? Had Price hired a child?
"You seem like a Star Wars guy," they dismissed his narrowed eyes and put the Hello Kitty ones back on the shelf. They approached Ghost with confident steps, the box had been opened and they were flicking their extensive collection. They settled on two options, R2D2 or Darth Vader. After a moment of studying him, they unpeeled the R2D2 bandaid and moved his chin with their hand.
"Why not Darth Vader?" Ghost asked, a bite in his voice. "I like Vader," the medic made a face and shook their head, their hand tapped their nose as a sound close to no came from their mouth.
"You seem like an R2 guy."
"And you seem to know a lot about me."
"So it's working," a smile broke out across their face, and that only made Ghost angrier. They gave him a once over, admiring their minimal handiwork before they nodded. "All done! Don't pick at the bandaid or at the scabs," as if he didn't already know that, he wasn't a child.
He got up and didn't thank them and he didn't feel bad about it. It didn't seem to bother them, though, because he could see them waving as he glanced behind him. They were still smiling.
╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── 🔪💀🩸 ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── 🔪💀🩸 ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮
THE FIRST TIME HE SAW THEM IN THE FIELD, HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THEM. They were in deep shit like they always were. Pinned down, listening to bullets pierce the air. Ghost had been shot in their retreat, and blood was soaking his tactical gear. It was warm and the battlefield smelled of gunpowder and death.
"Are ye alright?" Soap asked from beside him. The Scot had escaped unscathed, he was a smaller target, less of him to shoot at. Ghost hadn't been that lucky. But, he'd rather it was him nursing the wound than his team. He could handle it, he'd keep fighting even if he was dying, and everyone knew it. Stubborn as an ox, as Price had said the day before they shipped out.
"S'nothing," Ghost shook the Seargent off. He just wanted to finish this mission and sleep it off.
"No offence, LT, but it doesn't look like nothin'."
"Bloody great observation, Sargent, anythin' else?" Ghost snapped. He got snappy when he was injured, everyone knew that, and his team had learned to deal with it early on. Johnny didn't even flinch.
"If you get shot again, Price'll have your ass," Ghost snorted and slowly reloaded his magazine.
"Tell me somethin' I don't know," they'd waited long enough, and soon, Price's voice pushed through for the 141 to advance. Backup had arrived. Ghost hadn't known they'd needed it. But, he'd take a win right now. He knew Johnny felt the same way.
"Simon!" Price's voice cut through his comms. Ghost ducked behind a dumpster, he heard bullets imbed themselves into metal flesh.
"What!" He grunted.
"Patches is on their way to you, are you in position to meet them?" Ghost's eyes bugged out of his head. What the hell was the medic doing here? They couldn't even shoot!
"No, I'm bloody not! I'm pinned down out here!" He shouted back. He turned around the dumpster and let a shot off. It embedded itself in a target, but five more shots rang out in its stead. It was like a bloody hydra!
"Well, make quick work of 'em, we'll need them when we're done," well no shit, the giant mumbled to himself.
"Roger, clearing a path for them now." He'd only encountered the medic twice after their first meeting. he was never hurt enough to end up in their care, but Johnny certainly was. The man was in there more than his bunk, overdoing it, pulling a muscle, getting thrown on his ass by the giants on their team. Johnny had glowing reviews of the new medic, showing off his Star Wars band aids with pride. Not R2D2 ones, though. Yoda ones, much to Ghost's dismay. Johnny seemed the R2D2 type more than he did.
"Ghost, medic on our nine!" Johnny pointed to a figure across from the conflict, small and hidden, Ghost had almost missed them. A gun was clenched in their hands in a death grip, tactical gear seemed to wrap them in a gentle hug.
They didn't look like they belonged there.
But, like the universe did, it had to prove him wrong.
The medic moved, and a line of shot was eliminated. Another second, then another. Soap and Ghost shared a glance, shock written on their faces.
Both shrugged and pushed forward. With only 3 bullet paths pushing in, the men excelled. They pushed forward, guns blaring with a cacophony of the apocalypse. The medic rolled out of a broken down doorway, their eyes wild as blood dripped down their head and soaked their hair. They looked like a demon as Ghost saw the poor bastard who had pissed in their cereal. Well, what was left of him.
The medic had reduced the head to mush. Brain matter decorated the bottom of their gun as it came down again, again, AGAIN, A G A I N.
They seemed like a Vader person.
When the bullets stopped, and the air felt dead, the medic rolled off the carnage they'd created. Soap and Ghost tried not to stare as they got to their feet unsteadily.
"Hi," they greeted, their eyes raking across their teammates. Their eyes narrowed when they saw Ghost's fragile arm. "What the fuck is that!" They shrieked, pointing at the wartorn flesh of Ghost's arm. Ghost didn't think they meant to shout, but if his ears were ringing from the fray, no doubt theirs were pounding.
"Got shot," he responded. The medic's head tilted.
"What!" They shouted again. In any other situation, Ghost might have laughed at the expense of another, but right now, with the adrenaline fading, he could feel the metal rubbing against his muscle tissue, and it hurt like a bitch.
"I. Got. Shot!" He raised his voice and he watched as the medic's mouth dropped down into a wide O shape. That, they did hear.
"Why didn't you say so!"
"I did!"
"Oh!" The medic moved in on him and shouldered off their backpack. "Let's get that looked at!" Their voice was still loud, but Ghost didn't point it out. He didn't really care.
"In there! I'll radio Price and get him over here!" Johnny and the medic seemed to share a silent look, one that communicated hours of hidden jokes and friendships that Ghost couldn't imagine himself having with anyone. With the help of Soap, the trio entered one of the many broken buildings. Luckily, there were simple chairs intact.
"Down we go," the medic mumbled as they deposited Ghost on one of the many chairs. It protested his intrusion, and he was worried that it would break under him. But it remained strong and steady.
The medic had unloaded their bag, full of tools and materials. A mini office stored in fabric. It was almost impressive.
Ghost moved to try and fix his position in the chair, but a rush of pain filled him. He didn't make a sound, but the medic noticed. "Don't move, you idiot!" They chastised with a tone snappier than Ghost had ever heard it. It rang with authority, something he didn't think they'd had until this movement.
"I'm uncomfortable," he snapped back. Eyes narrowed.
"I don't give a shit, soldier. Don't move," Ghost knew what that meant. No arguing. And surprisingly, he felt himself listening.
The medic approached him with tweezers, clutched in their hands like a weapon. Ghost supposed that it was, in its own way. He didn't move and the medic was glad for it. He wanted this bullet out, and even if no one could do something like he could, sometimes it was easier to let them try.
The tweezers invaded his wound like a blade, and Ghost did make an audible groan. It was digging around and he felt it touching bone. It was nearly nauseating.
"Yikes," they mumbled, and suddenly, this moment felt familiar. A day in the infirmary, under bright LED lights. "I'd hate to see the other guy," a memory from a month ago, one he'd locked away and promised not to think about again because when he'd thought about it once he got back to his room, he'd smiled.
"Me too," he mumbled back. Their eyes met, and he saw the medic smile. It seemed strange, to see a smile while they were digging in his arm for a bullet.
"Stop moving," he hadn't realized that he had shifted, trying to put distance between him and the medic's gentle gaze. "Or I'll leave the bullet in there. You'll never be able to get through airport security." He couldn't help it, and there couldn't have been anything else he could have done to stop the laugh that bubbled in his throat at the medic's words.
With as much strength as he could muster, Ghost stayed still. Even when it hurt, especially when it hurt. He felt the medic brush his muscles and he felt them tear him apart, but he stayed still as stone. The process went much smoother when he was frozen, and soon enough, the medic dropped the bullet in his upturned palm.
"Tada!" The stress had faded from their voice, and they sounded almost happy. But they weren't done. They began to wrap his arm like precious cargo, the gauze was tight, but not enough to cut off blood flow. Their fingers worked quickly, and his arm was wrapped in under a minute.
But, somehow, they still weren't done. They had reached into their bag, looking for something. Ghost's brows furrowed, a silent question on the tip of his tongue.
It was answered when a familiar bandaid hit the light. R2-fucking-D2. Ghost watched in astonishment as the medic slapped it on the gauze they'd put on his arm. Only then, did they look satisfied.
"I saved you," they informed him, and this time, Ghost found himself smiling.
"Yeah, Patches, guess ya did." They had. He had no doubt that the wound would have gotten infected or he'd have bled out on evac. Not that he'd ever say that.
"You're still an R2D2 guy," they informed him. Ghost's brows furrowed again, something he found himself doing around them a lot. They were possibly the weirdest person he'd ever met.
"What the hell does that even mean?" He asked. Because he was wondering, and because he wanted to understand, even if it seemed stupid. These bandaids meant a lot to the medic, and he wanted to know why. They were meant for kids, and these men were far from kids.
The medic was halfway through putting their backpack over their shoulders when they looked up. Ghost could hear Price and the rest of the unit outside, and only the two of them were inside. But he had to know, just as he had to breathe.
"Because without you, we'd all be dead." And then they were gone.
And Ghost found himself wishing he had the strength to go after them.

Tangled Hearts
Tumblr media
Pairing: FWB! Ethan Torchio x Photographer! Fem Reader
Summary: As much as you want to deny it, you want to be more than friends with benefits with Ethan.
Word Count: 2.9k
Warnings: Kinda smutty but no actual smut, Ethan is a lil bit of an asshole in this, at least I think he is. There's also a lot of swearing, bc there is, and mentions of conflicts with parents.
Masterlists & Taglist
A/N: So uh... it's been a long while since I last wrote on here. Idk if people still read these but here you go! I missed writing dearly. It's also me just messing around, trying to get back into the writing habit again. Might add a part two if you guys like it cuz I've got some ideas. This is also inspired by a request I got a while ago, however it's like the events that happened before the request, if that makes sense.
═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══
A month left of the contract. That’s the very thought that has left a deep-seated sense of anxiety in your brain the more you let yourself think about it. For the past eleven months, you have been living the dream of traveling around the world with Måneskin and being their photographer. It was a job you would have never imagined having but one you are glad to have found.
It had been as much of a jump of faith for them to hire you with such little professional experience under your belt as it had been for you to accept the job. You left behind everything you knew for the opportunity to finally make a significant jump in your career that would make a difference in your future whether or not they renewed the contract for another year.
Then love made its way into the picture to mess everything up. Nothing could have prepared you for what you experienced during that first photoshoot alone with Ethan, the band’s drummer. The intimacy of the moment and the deep conversation shared as you set up your equipment was one that wouldn’t be forgotten easily, especially not when you got so close that it eventually led to the best night you had ever had while in Texas the night before a show.
Once the initial shock of what had happened wore off, you made a mutual agreement to keep it casual, despite the knowledge that whatever existed between you was anything but that. It worked nonetheless, for a long time, so you didn’t even bother questioning just how ephemeral it would be.
Your schedule, as well as the band’s, was full to the brim, leaving little to no time to think about your feelings with all the exciting things that had been going on around you. Until everything stopped and there were no shows or collabs to photographs.
Every single emotion pushed to the back of your mind has resurfaced as you sit alone in your bed for the first time in a while. It is the first night in a long time that you will be able to sleep in your bed instead of at a hotel or inside a cramped bunk on a bus. The whole thing takes you back to reality and helps you sober up from all the adrenaline quicker than you would have liked.
After such a long time away from your family, being back in your childhood room feels unreal. So does hearing your parents talk downstairs while you try to busy yourself editing pictured you’d taken at the last show. You want to take your mind off of all you have left behind and everything you would lose once your contract expired, which doesn’t happen as you look at the picture open in Photoshop. It is one of Vic spraying Damiano with the champagne she had opened to celebrate the end of the tour.
You smile to yourself as a bittersweet feelking makes its way into your heart. You know the band rarely keeps the same photographer around for more than a year and it has felt unfair to ask Ethan if you would be any different, if maybe they had grown to like you enough to keep you around for a little longer. So you just assume and accept that you will suffer the same fate as all the others before you.
The thought saddens you as you look up from your laptop and take a look around your room for the first time since you had arrived. On one of the walls hangs a picture of a college friend of yours you had taken for a photographic essay during your second semester. Close to it, you had placed one of your mother, which makes your heart ache as you look at it, knowing you would never be as close to her as you were when you took that picture.
Your parents have never been content with the idea of you being a photographer, especially not when both of them are engineers and have always envisioned a similar future for you. However, when you decided to go to college, they had been over the moon about it, despite you studying a photography-related degreee.
Sadly, all that happiness came crashing down when, during your fifth semester of college, none other than their manager reached out to you after finding your photography blog. He had gone on and on about how they needed a young and creative photographer in order to capture the band’s flare after their fame sky-rocketted.
You obviously accepted the job and put a pause on college for some time. Your parents had been against your decision and had stopped speaking to you for the first two months or so of you leaving. They eventually came around but things aren’t quite the same anymore. That is why you have found shelter in your room to avoid them and their hurtful comments they think they’re being more casual about.
You hate the situation you’re in much more than you’d like to admit, but what you hate above all else is feeling like an intruder in your own home when it used to be your safe place. You feel hot tears slide down your cheeks as you keep looking at that picture of your mother, asking yourself if the job is worth all this.
You haven’t even found an answer to the question when your phone buzzes. You pick it up from the bed and open the message, which happens to be from Ethan.
Tumblr media
You hesitate while typing your next message. You want to tell him you miss him, but you fear it makes your feelings for him far too obvious. You’ve always wanted to be more than just his friend with benefits, but your fear ir far stronger than your desires. Still, without giving it more thought, you type out the two word message and send it through. Any worries fade away as you read his response.
Tumblr media
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈• 。゚
You shift your balance from your heels to your toes as you wait for Ethan to open the door. After you replied to his text, you didn’t waste a second to drive over to his house, completely ignoring your parents’ complaints.
When he opens the door, you feel a wave of relief wash over you at the sight of him. His dark eyes and easy smile do their usual trick and help you forget about everything else. Then, you feel your breath hitch when your eyes scan over his clothes.
Ethan is dressed in a loose-fitting white button-up shirt with the first few buttons undone, giving you a small glimpse of his toned chest. He pairs it with tight black slacks and polished black shoes. He looks absolutely stunning... as always, you think.
You meet his eyes after a few seconds of gawking at him and soon realize how absolutely fucked you are when you see his long hair is nicely gathered in a bun that sits at the nape of his neck, just how you like it.
That absolute fucker. You absolutely despise how attractive he looks, especially when your thoughts go straight to a few nights ago. You remember your hands tangled in his hair, completely ruining his bun. You remember pulling at it while his head was in between your legs, then while you were having sex. And now all you want to do is hide as you feel your cheeks heat up at the memories.
He lets out a hearty laugh, succesfully snapping you out of your little daydream.
“You’re staring.” Ethan says teasingly.
You roll your eyes at him, “You wish.”
He shakes his head and steps aside to let you in, “It’s nice to see you too, by the way.”
You let out a soft laugh, “We literally just saw each other yesterday.”
"Says the one who told me she missed me. Besides, it's always lovely to see you." He says, in such a relaxed and casual manner, as if it doesn't evoke any emotions within him, while it stirs up everything inside of you.
His place is small and tidy. There are books and plants here and there, scattered in random places all around the kitchen and living room, accompanied by the faint smell of vanilla coming from a lit candle.
Ethan catches you off-guard by wrapping his arms around you in a hug after closing the door behind you. Driven by instinct, your arms wrap themselves around him as you let your face rest on his shoulder for a few seconds.
You pull away enough to look him in the eye. He looks back at you with nothing but warmth in his eyes. Then he plants a gentle kiss on your lips that makes it so much harder for you to believe he has nothing but sexual feelings towards you. How could he kiss you with such gentleness if that were the case?
“I wanted to get out of there so fucking bad.” You mumble as an attempt to quiet down your thoughts.
Ethan gives you a knowing look. He’s the only person who knows everything you have sacrificed to follow your dream. He always tries to reassure you that you had made the right decision, but believing him never gets any easier. Especially not when the price you had to pay was so high.
“You’re always welcome here, dolcezza. Offer still stands if you want to stay until we’re back on the road.” He expresses. When Ethan had first brought the idea up, you had been so shocked to say anything. It’s still hard for you to understand how he is so casual about asking you to move in, yet turning into something other than fuck buddies is too much for him.
Rather than focusing much on your thoughts, you focus on observing him unscrew the cork on a bottle of wine that had previously been sitting inside the fridge.
“Being back here is so strange,” You say as he pours wine into a glass for you, “I didn’t spend a lot of time at home while I was at college either, so it kinda made me think I wouldn’t feel much different than how I did then...”
The words slowly die down in your throat, and your attention drifts away to the bright light over the kitchen counter.
“Hey, hey,” Ethan says gently as an attempt to get your attention. He leans forward to cup your cheeks, “All this you’re going through isn’t easy. I get it’s probably much more overwhelming when all this negativity is coming from your parents of all people.”
You place a hand over his and close the distance left between his lips and yours. The kiss is a comforting sign of understanding between you both, a silent way of saying that everything will be alright.
You tangle your hands in his hair to bring him closer to you, to feel more of his lips on yours. He smiles softly at your actions and reacts by brushing his tongue over your bottom lip, which you reciprocate almost right away.
This moment between the two of you feels like none you’d had before. You have grown familiar with messy quickies squeezed into every free space that could be found in your busy schedules. Unlike then, there is no recording session, interview, or show to stop you from taking your sweet time together.
Knowing he can, Ethan enjoys every kiss and touch with you, extending them as much as his body allows him to. He lets his hands slowly wander under your shirt as you break the kiss to catch a breath. His hands warm up your skin as they make their way up your waist and he lets out a soft chuckle upon noticing you were wearing nothing underneath your blue sweater.
“Something tells me you don’t just want to watch the movie.” He laughs as his lips trail down to your neck.
You laugh too, “I actually do, but this is pretty great too.”
He pulls away from you completely despite your protests and starts walking towards his room. You follow him with an eager smile on your face, happy to let him fuck away your worries.
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ .  ゚☆º:. ───
You’re still wrapped in a curtain of bliss after the intimate moment you’ve had. Between his soft pecks and warm hands you slowly let go of any sort of worries that had still been clinging to your body and mind. Instead, you let all of your attention fall on the words that easily fall from his lips like calm rivers.
“You’re beautiful, sweetheart.” He murmurs through parted lips before they keep on sucking on your exposed neck. You do nothing but hum in response, basking in the pleasure his attention brings along.
He can’t keep his hands and lips off you. You’re already so overstimulated that you cannot even think straight anymore as he draws shapes on your back. So it happens, in only a few seconds and with a phrase that anyone but Ethan would’ve been happy to hear, you lose it all. While he places kisses along your collarbones and gently massages your breast while his free hand holds yours, you mumble out words you won’t be able to take back, ever…
“I love you.”
At first, his dark eyes look into yours with surprise and a slight touch of happiness, words still processing in the very back of his mind. Then, any trace of gentleness and adoration that had been previously present, vanishes. You lose the warmth of his hands against your naked body when he stands up and puts a distance between you that feels infinite.
You see his face harden as he leans down to pick up his shirt from the floor, your heart falling to your stomach as you watch him get dressed. He avoids your eyes, which you suspect is much more painful than if he were looking at you.
That moment of silence seems to stretch out into what feels like an eternity. You don’t know what to say, and by the looks of it, your words have also rendered him speechless.
You feel the need to get up and try to reach out to him. To try and make up an excuse that explains why you said it, but your body doesn’t move. You just wait impatiently for him to speak first.
“Please get out.” Ethan says coldly, your heart shattering as you search for any trace of that warmth that used to be in his eyes just seconds ago. But his expression remains neutral and void of emotion. An  expression you have never seen before.
“Ethan, please,” Your eyes start getting watery as you plead. Your body finally responds and allows you to stand up and walk closer to him as you put your sweater back on. “Please, I’m sorry.”
There’s a part of you that feels pathetic at the sound of your wavering voice as you ask for forgiveness. An unmistakable desperation in your tone that you wish would disappear and a sharp pain in your heart that you want to ignore.
“I said get out.” You watch as his expression shifts into what you mistake as anger, but it’s nothing more than pure heartbreak.
“Please don’t, let’s talk about this. You can’t just kick me out before we do.” He’s still looking away from you, which makes you feel like your words are being dismissed by him.
“I can, and I will.” Ethan says firmly as he buttons his slacks.
“Come on, did our relationship mean nothing to you?” You say those words as a last attempt to bring him back to his senses. At first, you think it works because he’s finally looking back at you, but what he says next makes it clear that’s not the case.
“We are not in a relationship, we never were.”
“Fine, fuck this shit! I’m tired of just being someone you fuck whenever you’re bored anyway.” You see his whole expression soften at your harsh words. Ethan tries to reach out but you notice he debates on it before letting his hand fall back to his side.
Everything went to shit so quickly with those three little words. The friendship you have been building up for years has just been ruined in less than ten minutes and you have no idea what the fuck you’re supposed to do next.
“You know that’s not what this is! You’re so much more than that, you’re my best friend!” His voice is much gentler than it was, but you don’t notice it because of the anger that’s building up at his words.
“Well, you have a shitty way of showing it. Best friends don’t do whatever the fuck we do!” You turn your back to him and start collecting the rest of your clothes and car keys.
You feel his hand on your shoulder as you dress up, but you shrug it away, “Don’t. I’m listening to you and getting out of here.”
A part of you hopes he’ll go after you, but this is no romcom, so he doesn’t do anything to stop you and lets you leave.

if it wasn’t for the nights!
🏹 06. just how you like it
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh.
Oh, great. This was just… fantastic.
Childe, with an incredibly pitiful expression painted across his face, sat down next to you. You thought you could finally escape him, but maybe in class wasn’t a good enough refuge. He solemnly smiled at you, setting down a cup of iced coffee. You glanced at it, then him, narrowing your gaze.
“What’s this?” You asked, cocking your head mockingly.
“Iced coffee, no liquid sugar, extra cream, and extra ice. Just how you like it.” Childe said, offering you a sad grin. “Y/N, I know nothing I can say can make up for what I did, but please let me try.”
You just stared at him, your expression blank and completely unreadable. Childe tried to search your features for any trace of emotion or response, the face he knew so well, but he couldn’t conclude anything. Except for the fact that you took the coffee, hesitantly sipping it. Finally, an expression he understood. Your eyelids fluttered shut, and you sank back in your seat a bit. Calm.
As much as you hated to admit it now, he still knew you. And you knew him; as well as the fact that he wouldn’t give up in the face of your rejection.
The bell rang, and a voice sounded from the front of the class. “Alright, class. I’m Professor Ningguang. Welcome to your first day…”

Sweet Poison - Part 2
Tumblr media
Summary: In which Zagreus gives you your first nectar. Along with a gift. “If it’s not to your liking, I can exchange—”
WC: 1k
TW: Zagreus (Hades Video game) x Succubus!Reader, GN!Reader, a succubus AND an artist bc sex is just work and food, au where in game Zag commissions the paintings using gems, what if boons actually affected Zagreus, slow build, strangers to friends to lovers trope, sex work, fluff, fluff and humor, mutual pining, idiots in love, mild angst, pheromones, technically it’s succubi magic aura, Zagreus is at least 6 ft convince me otherwise, eventual smut
AN: I imagine even in the Underworld and Olympus there's disparities between gods, demons, nymphs, etc
If there’s one constant about the Underworld, it’s that time works differently than on the surface, so you’ve learned when you first came into existence. It could be days, weeks—or whatever’s the Underworld equivalent to such a concept—before you see the peculiar man again. Which is why you already resign yourself to the fact you’ll never see your food again.
Maybe you should be more disappointed, you think, alone save for the green flames crackling at your hearth, melodic as it echoes across your humble chamber. After all, you did lose a meal, a rarity mind you. But if what he said is true, that Tartarus led him to you, not one of your bosses, then perhaps he doesn’t deserve to be consumed like the others.
Shame. He would’ve been delicious, you sigh, remembering lean muscle and genuine eyes with embarrassing clarity.
You shake yourself. Next time, if there is to be, you’ll get him.
You step back to glance over your piece. The same work in progress you had up when you met the man now stands before you, set on your easel just about finished. In your hand, you fiddle with a small brush, still soaked in gray paint as you ponder whether more final touches are needed. Tartarus stares back at you, layers of stone chambers and tombs descending down and deep into the canvas in black, white, and green in first person: the view from your balcony. You take the canvas in your hands, drinking in every detail as you hold it to the firelight.
With finality, you nod.
And toss it into the fireplace.
“What are you doing?“
Well—try to.
You jump, a flash passing you in a gust of wind as the air crackles around you like thunder. The hairs on your arms and back of your neck stand on end.
Shadows sharply contour his face as he stands before the fireplace, your painting softly clutched in his hands. Red and green eyes gaze at you, incredulous, as if the Goddess of Insanity herself has touched you.
You return his stare, just as baffled, “What am I doing? What are you doing?”
“Saving a masterpiece, apparently,” Brow knitted, he turns the canvas over a few times, checking for any scorch marks, any bits that might have touched the flames. None. It’s unharmed.
You snort, “Please. How long have you been here?”
“I just arrived. Right on time too,” He sighs, setting it back on the easel with something akin to pride before turning back to you. He smirks. You want to smack it right off him.
“What?”
He points to his hair. You bring a hand up to your own, feeling strands sticking up like gravity no longer exists.
And your horns.
You gasp, turning away, but that only further displays your wings and tail as you smooth your hair down, fingers barely grazing your horns before they all disappear in the blink of an eye.
Once you right yourself, you face him again and shoot him a withering glare, vertical slit pupils thinned into twin needles. He only grins back.
"Are you not… bothered?” You grimace, crossing your arms over your chest.
He tilts his head at the question. “What? That you’re a demon? Of course not.”
Demon, not succubus. Still unaware as ever.
You’re not sure why, but you breathe easier.
In the harsh light of the fire, there’s a glow to his form, one that hadn’t been there the first time you met. The atmosphere seems charged around him, almost electric as he stands poise—regal—his posture near perfect, and you faintly wonder if he was a prince in his past life. You can definitely see it; him in a castle, dressed in the best refinery humans could offer. With subjects that’d swoon if he graced them with the same boyish grin he’s giving you now.
You blink, quiet realization rolling over you like a thick fog.
Zeus’s blessing. He’s got boons from the King of the Olympians.
Your eyes narrow. Who the hell is this guy?
… Meh, not your business.
“While I have you here, there’s something I’ve been meaning to give you,” Breaking your train of thought, he offers his hand.
In his calloused palm, a bottle of nectar gleams in the firelight.
Without thinking, you take it in your hands, blinking dumbly as he scratches the back of his neck, abashed. “I know it’s not much of a gift, but I realized how insensitive it was to have barged into your home as I did. Consider it my formal apology and repayment for allowing me to use your fountain.”
When you only stare into your hands, he adds, voice audibly dejected, “If it’s not to your liking, I can exchange—”
“No!” He raises an eyebrow and you flush, cradling the bottle to your chest. “It-it’s not that. I…” Your thumb brushes against the smooth fabric of the ribbon, and you wonder if he’s actually an Elysian warrior who somehow wound up in Tartarus, because no denizen of the lowest rung of the Underworld would just give nectar. It may be contraband, but it’s also a luxury, only meant for the Elysium-bound, for gods, for… people unlike you. Wretches, demons; you’re the last to even think of consuming this liquid gold.
And despite all that, he just hands it to you like a tradeoff between friends.
Your heart expands. Friends.
Or maybe he really is just that unaware and naive.
Still, your voice comes soft as you grin, wide enough that your canines gleam, “Thank you for the gift. Truly.” He grins back, and your eyes dart around the chamber. “But I don’t have anything of value to give in return.”
He shakes his head, the laurels on his crown flickering with the movement. “No, no, gifts aren’t a mutual exchange.”
“I insist.”
He meets your gaze, and in the seconds it takes for him to realize you have no intention of letting him leave empty handed, his shoulders slump in defeat.
You smile, knowing you’ve won as he glances around before his eyes stop. “Then how about your painting?”
You tense, turning to the canvas you tried to burn not even ten minutes ago. “That thing?”
“That thing is a masterpiece,” He shoots you a pointed look before he studies your work. “I don’t understand why you’d try to rid the world of such beauty.”
“It’s not… accurate enough, perfect. It’s still missing something,” You gesture lamely around you, to the works-in-progress to near finished pieces. “Most of my works are.”
“Well, if you still intend to burn such a fine piece, I’ll take it off your hands. Hang it up in my gallery, perhaps.”
You can’t tell if he’s joking.
But you consider him anyway, then sigh, “Fine. Give it here.” When you reach for the painting, he takes a slight step between you and the easel. Protective. You scoff, “Oh, calm down. I promise not to throw it to the fire.”
“Swear on the gods?”
You roll your eyes, “May Lord Hades himself strike me down.”
That seems to satisfy him because he backs off, though he hovers over your shoulder, as if you’ll go back on your word and chuck it into the flames. He’s at least a head taller than you, enough for him to comfortably rest his chin on your shoulder if he felt like it. Despite the sliver of space between you, he’s a furnace, and you ignore the warmth emanating from him, fighting back a shiver and letting him watch as your fine-tip brush curves and loops with your signature lilt. A moment later, you step back with a content nod.
He moves beside you, sounding out the letters slowly. “’(Yo-ur Na-me)’?”
“My name.” When he looks at you, red and green eyes big with wonder, like you’d just unlocked a hidden treasure trove, you raise a brow, “What? I figured if we’re going to see each other more, the least I could do is give you my name. Besides, I’d much rather have my work burnt to ashes than give someone the chance to take credit for it.”
For a split second, he stares at you blankly, but it’s long enough that your stomach drops. Maybe you read him wrong. Maybe he wasn’t looking for a new friend, and he really was simply apologizing for intruding before. Your lips part, an apology on the tip of your tongue—
“Zagreus.”
You blink at him. He’d spoken too fast, not even your sharp hearing caught it. “Huh?”
“My-my name. It’s Zagreus. But my friends call me Zag,” He says, though he glances away, hesitant. When he looks back at you, he studies your expression, almost… afraid. Or perhaps concerned?
You can’t fathom why as you offer him a genuine smile, not a flicker of recognition on your face. “Nice to meet you, Zagreus.”
AN: The painting you give Zagreus is the Tartarus painting from the game, if that wasn't obvious 💁🏽

not technically just bl, but top 5 gmmtv couples of the year 👯‍♂️
i know you said this was not restricted to BLs but that's what i went with anyway :'D also, i decided to pick CPs instead of on-screen couples bc i wasn't sure which one you meant here. i hope you're not disappointed!
-
My Top 5 GMMTV Couples of 2023
I. JimmySea (Jimmy Jitaraphol & Sea Tawinan)
Tumblr media
ppl would probably be concerned if i didn't answer jimmy and sea. i've been here with them for over 1,5 years now and my love for them hasn't diminished at all. there's just something so comforting and genuine about them. their presence and their performances (on stage and on-screen) feel like a hug to me. i loved puentalay to bits, i am currently head over heels in love with morkday, and i keep hoping this isn't the end. gmmtv2024 part 2 will give us a new series with them bc they cannot just throw aside the depths these two have found for their relationship ♥
II. ForceBook (Force Jiratchapong & Book Kasidet)
Tumblr media
witnessing their glorious comeback this year made me so happy. after an unjustified onslaught of hate and a long stay in gmm's basement, their chance to shine again was well overdue. enchanté and akktheo convinced me of their extraordinary chemistry, and this year forcebook truly outdid themselves in both of their series. guncher in a boss and a babe became very dear to me, and topmew showed sides of them i didn't know even existed. they've grown so much, and i hope the upcoming year only brings them more opportunities that let them shine even brighter ♥
III. OffGun (Off Jumpol & Gun Atthaphan)
Tumblr media
probably my oldest bl actor cp. i first got to know them after theory of love where i absolutely adored khaithird. i know the majority (?) hated that show but i loved it to bits. i watched puppy honey soon after to see more of them, but never really felt too strongly about pickrome. i went around the internet to learn a bit about them as actors and people for a while but they never really stuck with me then. and then not me and seanwhite happened. offgun took over my heart again and i was truly sad when i thought not me would be their last bl. but then they announced cooking crush! and now we get the trainee too! and i just think my love for them will never end; they've been here with me through it all, in one way or another ♥
IV. PondPhuwin (Pond Naravit & Phuwin Tangsakyuen)
Tumblr media
during the surge of bl in my life that begun with bad buddy (and maybe not me too), i binged a ton of other/older gmmtv (bl) series. fish upon the sky was one of them, and even if i never quite liked that series, i loved the chemistry between pond and phuwin. i've actually known phuwin since his acting debut under gmm (when he was a true baby) and was curious to see him with a new face. i was even more excited when i realized they would be getting a new chance with never let me go as palmnueng would introduce a very different type of setting for them. now they're very dear to me as i also came to know pond and especially phuwin as people ♥
V. MarcPawin (Marc Natarit & Pawin Thanik)
Tumblr media
the black sheep of my 2023 that i never saw coming. honestly, i wasn't a big fan of my gear and your gown, and so i thought i was not hooked on these two. then they got their glorious comeback during the nlmg our skyy 2 eps and a whole ass tsunami were put in motion in my brain. the wave hit shore when they started getting side couple vibes in dangerous romance and finally got to kiss again. and now we have we are where these two are about to be one of the couples (still not sure if they're main or not). am obsessed. i love this comeback for them. i hope this carries them further than ittpai ever did ♥
Bonus: Mark Pakin + Everyone
Tumblr media
i think my school president and his role as tiw started the rise of one mark pakin. after that, the year 2023 has truly been His Year. he's gone from tiw and being paired with ford to appearing as saleng in moonlight chicken where he was paired with view to then appearing again as tiw who was even more prominently with por (ford) to getting paired with neo in only friends as nick and now ending his year as night in last twilight where we've seen the first hints of him being paired with namtan. boy keeps changing partners like socks and it's absolutely brilliant bc he has chemistry with everybody. he's even teased new upcoming projects with a new partner (ohm thi?) and keeps saying he's truly fine with any partner and anyone we'd like to ship him with. an icon. a legend. i love him a lot.
-
thank you for sending this question to me jess! i hope this was anything like what you wanted to see ^^ i made some tough decisions here bc i also had several other couples/ppl i would've liked to point out after this year.

House Of Memories (3/?)
Obi-Wan Kenobi x Padawan!reader
Warnings: angst, death of mentioned character, overthinking (not sure if it's a warning but maybe a trigger??)
Summary: Following the death of his Master, Obi-Wan tries to pick up the pieces of his future plans. His life will never be the same, only because of a boy named Anakin Skywalker.
A/n: Okay so we're getting another episode tomorrow. I'm going to do my best to keep up with posting until the rest of the series is out.... There have been rumors about another season.... I pray to God that there is bc it's easily the best show on disney+ already there's no denying it. I'm a hardcore mando girl, but... come on
Words: 1.4k (ew)
Tumblr media
A thick solemness hung over the temple when the transmission came in. At the expense of his life, Qui Gon Jinn fought to destroy the Sith Lord named Maul. Obi-Wan Kenobi avenged his master's death by killing him, but it didn't bring back his mentor whom he'd grown so close to.
It gave him a fresher outlook on life, on his own and the people around him. The jedi must have thought of themselves as expendable to a certain point, otherwise the order would not exist. Their very goal in everything they did was to put others above themselves and their colleagues, no matter the relationship or the time spent together. The mission comes first, and the people of the republic are to be protected.
Flying back to Coruscant gave him time to reflect before he had to face the council. He made his Master a promise on his deathbed that was first and foremost important... even though it was going to change the plans that had already been set in front of him for the years to come. It had been a year since Master Yoda told Obi-Wan that he would train the youngling he brought back as his padawan, but now he knew he may not be able to. He was to train Anakin Skywalker, the boy who very well may be the chosen one among the Jedi, said to bring balance to the force and fulfill the ancient prophecy.
Anakin was a bright boy for sure, but training him would present Obi-Wan with a newfound set of problems he couldn't even comprehend right now. He knew that you would be assigned to someone else, and that they wouldn't be able to connect with you the way he could. As was aforementioned, Obi-Wan was not particularly a favorite among all children, especially not the younglings in the temple, you being the only exception. He wondered if he might fail Anakin as a teacher, not knowing enough about him to pass on his knowledge in a way that could be useful later on. He didn't know much about the boy at all, other than the fact he had the highest midichlorian count of anyone recorded in history. He was a good pilot, and a spry little thing.
Once the ship had landed, there was little time for him to decide what he was going to say to the council, before he was taken directly to them and asked a series of questions, most of them a little bit unfeeling, given that he is still grieving the loss of his master, whom he'd known since being a youngling. He was glad when it was over, and everyone left the large room, filing out one at a time.
"Reassignment of your designated padawan, this means," Yoda floated by him on a hoverseat, hoping to catch him as he was leaving.
"I understand, Master, but I have decided. This is what Qui Gon wanted," he paused, and Yoda caught the slight discrepancy in his wavering tone.
"Not what you want, this decision is, hmm?"
Obi-Wan was scared to question his meaning, because after all the thinking he'd done, no, this is not what he wanted. He was being compelled by the force and the dying words of his Master to do what was asked of him, but it made him afraid. He had everything planned out until now, and one day has changed the trajectory of his entire life.
"I sense in you great fear. Ruin your future, it could," Yoda moved his hoverseat to the side upon seeing the younglings passing through the hallway, the Masters that lead them bowed in reverence, not only to Yoda today, but for Obi-Wan.
"I only want to carry out my master's wishes. His life shall not be lost in vain."
Yoda sighed, his words clearly went in one ear and out the other. The only person he ever seemed to truly listen to was Qui Gon, and as of today, he was lost to the cosmic force. He pondered for a moment before he was interrupted by a high pitched, shrill voice.
"Obi!" You saw him as you were walking at the end of the line of the other padawans, and he looked sad. That's not right. He shouldn't be sad when he makes everyone else so happy.
You ran out of line, nearly getting held back by the arms of the Master who walked behind you. You crashed into him, wrapping both arms around his legs, as it was the only place you could reach. You were late to your growth spurt... again. You supposed being small wasn't a horrible thing, because it allowed you to still be picked up and carried places, though usually you had to fake being tired for that.
"Hello, little one," Obi-Wan scooped you up, holding you to his eyeline to where he could see your excited smile. "Did you have a good time training today?"
He only asked because he knew you got to go to the city today, as a field trip of sorts. It was part of the fun for the younglings.
"No, it was awful," you said nonchalantly. he was almost flabbergasted, and Yoda snickered under his breath before floating away, seeing as the young Kenobi was now quite busy.
"What do you mean awful? Didn't you have a nice time in the city?" He waved off the Master who seemed to be waiting for your presence. They knew he would probably bring you to the children's quarters before curfew. He often took you to the library for some late-night reading upon your request before heading off to bed.
"I got pushed to the back of the tram, I was too small to see anything," you expressed, playing with his braid like you often did. He wasn't sure what you would think when he cut it off after the trials. Hopefully you wouldn't be too upset.
"I'm sorry about that, little one... perhaps we can go read some before I have to take you back?" he suggested, watching as your features lit up and you nodded rapidly.
-
He wasn't sure how to break the news to you. He had completed his trials with flying colors, and he was sure to hold records for some time after. You had been told in the past that Obi-Wan was to be your master. Now he would be taking on Anakin, and you would be assigned to someone who could quote on quote 'control your behaviors' in training. He didn't like that. He knew that whoever your Master was would overlook the best qualities and only focus on the faults. Most jedi in the temple had heard of you by now, and not very good things. It was you that kept him conflicted over the decision the most, still, he went through with it.
He was brought before the council, ready to receive Anakin as his padawan, and all the council members were there.
"It is with great pride that we grant you the rank of a Jedi knight, and give you your first assignment as such," Windu announced, beckoning to the guard on the other side of the room to let the doors be opened.
In came Anakin, freshly presented in his new training robes, adorning a new haircut than what he had before, including his own training braid, to mark his future progress. He had a smile on his face as he stood before the council again.
"Where's the other one?" Windu prodded to the man at the door.
"The other one?" Obi-Wan snapped his head around to meet the council once more, but then turned it back when you trotted in, cowering into yourself for your fear of the council. It wasn't necessarily even fear, but anxiety that they brought upon you. Every move you made under their scrutiny felt wrong.
"After much deliberation, we have found that it would be in the best interest of both padawans to be placed under your watchful eye. This is purely experimental, and if we see you struggling to uphold both of their training, we will revoke one of them to be reassigned immediately."
Obi-Wan didn't even care the stress he was about to take on. He was happy enough that he could keep both his promise to Qui Gon, as well as continue on with his original plans in the order.
"I will do everything in my power to bring the order pride by them."
A good response, one the council was pleased by. They sent the three of you off, ready to find your new living quarters.
Standing at the age of seven and a half, you felt so grown up having moved into your own room, away from the other younglings in the temple.
You were ready to begin your evolution from a youngling to a Jedi, and this was only the beginning. Obi-Wan was a good mentor and was convinced he would train both you and Anakin into great heroes of the republic one day.

Thinking about that one theory of Luxu taking Brain’s body and sending his heart to the future. If true, it shows how important Brain is & how caring Luxu as a person is. (thoughts continued below)
We already know Luxu was super worried and cared about the Dandelions from the beginning. Throughout all the events he watched over their safety.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But he didn’t just watch, he directly involved himself with them (when he shouldn’t have, thus making him the traitor)
Imagine how Luxu felt when the first Dandelion he actually gets to speak to is during the apocalypse… and it’s a kid who says he’s sacrificing himself to make sure at least his friends can live on in the new world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luxu throughout his observing must’ve been very impressed by Brain, who put all the puzzle pieces together and remained coolheaded in the face of extreme danger. Because he did not want this kid to die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So going by the theory, right then & there he yoinked Brain’s body and sent his heart to the future, where Brain could be spared from the destruction, be recompleted and given the chance to live.
Bc realistically, Brain would have likely Not survived the total collapse minutes later without a lifeboat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Luxu’s personal thoughts on self-sacrifice has persisted to present day (the below text is from his official character file set during that one KH3 Olympus scene)
Tumblr media
-
Luxu kept the naming pattern of his subsequent vessels really similar from what we can tell, too (Bragi, Braig).
I really doubt he selects only people who have the letters B-R-A-I in their names by coincidence. I think he names his vessels purposefully this way. What if it’s to remember Brain?
With Luxu going through so many lifetimes, maybe he wanted to ensure Brain’s memory was never forgotten in all of those years. Maybe this contributed to Brain’s later revival in Scala, since to be recompleted, there must be a person at the destination who remembers you.
Though since Luxu still does this, perhaps it’s really in honor of Brain? The Dandelion from the age of fairytales, who was his first vessel kickstarting a very long saga. Because without Brain’s sharp thinking, the Dandelion leaders wouldn’t have escaped & the current world of Kingdom Hearts as we know it… would not exist.
We also don’t know if those two met again (maybe they created a plan) and what other major stuff Brain does in Missing-Link! I can’t wait to find out!

Hazbin Hotel 7-8 (Spoil McNoil)
Hazbin Hotel is indeed not an action show.
But at least they tried to have some action.
Should they have tried tho?
Tumblr media
(I'm gonna start out ripping, but, I don't hate this show, it's actually pretty funny that does some things super well but then just bumble fucks other big moments)
I mean, here's the thing, they're great at street fights, apparently. Vaggie vs Lute was pretty brutal, I felt like I was watching two bird tear eachother apart. Like a scene out of Gardians of Ga'Hoole.
But the ninja anime fantasy, martial arts type stuff was pretty weak, and didn't really track as something the characters would utilize. Like, Alastor is a cannibalistic voodoo serial killer from 1930's New Orleans. And twice before we've seen Alastor grow and contort to intimidate, kill, etc. But he doesn't do any of that against Adam except for that one aesthetic moment. Instead it's got generic "Tentril powers, GO!" vibes. Husker and Charlie also have this problem. Why is an American Gambler using cards like ninja stars? He can fly dude-- or, can he?
Can Husker fly?
And Charlie- like, she has a sheild, but she can only really use it to protect herself :/ Like, girl, just go inside.
Lucy beating the shit out of Adam was cut so short, Like, 2 secs and 4 punches b4 Charlie goes "DAD STOP ITS TOO MUCH"-- no, let Lucy COOK; I think it would have actually been an interesting point to make on how the reason Lucifer gives for discouraging the Hotel is sinner's being "The Worst", yet here he is clearly having a fit of violence (an understandable one but, Charlie, who's never even been to heaven except for a bs court hearing, has to remind a high-ranking angel to have mercy.) Charlie, razz and Dazz transforming didn't really do anything-- it actually felt more like a game of thrones reference, which would be fine if Razz or Dazz DID anything except die. They also didn't explain Carmilla's motive for helping them well. Like, neat entrance, but the build ups to the pay offs didn't exist :,O
And the voice acting: These guys are great singers, but the noises they make when they get hit, their mid-battle dialogue, is so corny and tonally off for certain characters. Like, Alastor and Charlie's yells in particular are- pardon my accent but cringe af.
Charlie in particular has so many anti-climatic moments. If they meant for her to not be particularly good at fighting, maybe establish that and not have all these super dramatic badass magical girl moments that just lead to her getting dunked on. It was so anticlimactic jeezuz christ.
And really it's more about picking a tone, the anti climactic moments could have been funny if they framed it as a funny moment or a joke, but it's framed seriously so it's read seriously.
But, who doesn't bumble fuck around how to end something though. I've read some juicy, golden touch stories that really freaked out on the gas and steering at the end. So, this isn't anything uncommon, especially for relatively new creators.
They have flaws, who doesn't. I loved so much about this show even when my first impression going in was just cringing at it not being what I expected. This is a critique of love, guys, I genuine wish the best for this show, bc it's apparent that when Viv has the freedom and breathing room she needs to plan and pace, she can cook up a good ass goddamned meal (See: Helluva Boss, Season one). This was them crunching and smushing a ton of story and moments into too-few episodes, which, looking back could have been done better, but its easy to see how something can be better once it's done and out in the world. (See: literally any amature artist 2 seconds after posting their work)
The season finale ended with so many good set ups tho! :D
Lilith vacaying in heaven, having made a deal with Adam.
Tumblr media
Alastor becoming desperate for a way out, having made deals with Vaggie and Charlie-- And far more explicitly there against his will. Also--is a future antagonist?
Tumblr media
Yes PLEASE. I love that they showed Al loosing his shit through his eyes even with the smile he's always wearing. And they built this up before hand having him talk previously about wearing a smile, basically as a mask.
PENTIOUS
YOU REDEEMED FU-
Tumblr media
(I was actually cringing at Pentious the entire time inep 8, I'm sorry but he's so hard to take seriously-- even his "death" was funny as hell. I love him but its like how someone loves a clumsy puppy that destroys your house without neither malice nor remorse)
Also: The exorcists switching leaders- I am wondering how things are gonna change with them, especially given how much more sadistic and violent Lute is. Like, Adam just liked laughing at sinners. He saw them as insults to his existance, his mini-me hates and seems like she just enjoys violence and malice, using ego and "they deserve it" narratives as an excuse to indulge in acts that ordinarily would lan someone in hell.
Overall-- Not the best season finale I've ever seen, execution-wise through these 8 episodes (like, Vaggie got her wings learning to fight for love, but she's been doing nothing but supporting and protecting Charlie this whole time. There was no hint that she was bitter or wanted revenge). They definitely needed to pace and build things better but there's so much to love. Like, Seeing Alastor in his element with Rosie and Nifty was so fun, even if they were small moments (his laugh is so stiff tho, c'mon Al.)
The finale did a good job setting up the future, but I don't have much more to say than that. Hopefully, now that they know they're getting a second season, they'll just, breathe on this one a bit more ya?
I'm glad I watched it, I cried, I laughed, I cringed, I yelled at Pentious for subjecting me to second hand embarrassment. It's great :,D
Also- I hope he doesn't read this and takes it the wrong way, but Vox reminds me of my brother-- Especially with the scenes where he's watching the battle :,D

baby scarab || 41
@aniskywalkerslvr - Ahhhhh I have a fic idea for future Baby Scarab series so like first of all idk if Oscar Isaac exists in that universe but if he exists I wanna see the Moon Boys (also Layla, Khonshu and Casper’s) reactions. Like if not Oscar what about Poe, Santi or Llewyn, Duke, and Apocalypse, his characters. I really would like to see them watching Oscar Isaac’s movies together w Layla and our grandpa Khonshu, Casper can be there too. If you want ofc, it can be like they have a day in a week they gather around for a whole family dinner together. Imagine them watching Triple Frontier and seeing Pedro and Oscar together in a movie?!🤩❤️ Also them watching the “In Secret” movie where Elizabeth also plays w Oscar that would be funny😭💀 but nah scratch it cuz it’s an 18+ movie and reader isn’t 18 yet if I’m right? I had these thoughts the whole damn day. I live for the Baby Scarab series! You are doing an incredible work! I hope you have lots of fun w ur friend!❤️🫶🏻
~~~
@luvxxee - idea for the amazing baby scarab series:
y/n gets a tooth ache and acts all grumpy to which all the boys are like tf is wrong with you?? and it’s pieced together that she needs to go to the dentist and she’s never gone bc of her sad sad childhood and then they have to force her to go bc she’s really doesn’t want to (que child fear moment she’s just now confronting)
~~~
anon - AHHHHHHH I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS!!!!
What if reader notices that the moon boys are like having a bad day, so to make them fell better so makes like each of them their favorite food!!! I just thought of this so you don’t have to use it, by the way I love the baby scarab series and I can’t wait to see more!! &lt;3
~~~
anon - Hi, my name is Mei and I love Baby Scarab. I was wondering though could I personally buy a croissant at Y/N’s work place? Would love to meet her in passing then go about my day with a tasty baked good and maybe never come up in the narrative again.
Keep up the exceptional writing!
Mei &lt;3
~~~
A/N : i feel like i couldve done better tbh
Tumblr media
masterlist - marvel masterlist - series masterlist
A/N : the plan is being set
please enjoy, and don't be shy if you want to be in the taglist, just ask <3, sorry for the long wait
pairings : steven grant x (platonic)reader, marc spector x (platonic) reader, khonshu x (platonic)reader, jake lockley x (platonic)reader
TW : medicine (pills), spidey stuff, mentions of violence, fluff, let me know if i missed anything
~~~
“kid, get up” you feel marc tap your shoulder lightly.
you groggily open your eyes and blink a few times before looking up at marc, who was trying to wake you up.
“no” you push him away by the shoulder and turn the other way, covering your head with the blanket.
you hear him sigh and yank the blanket off your whole body, making you shiver.
“you have work, now get up. steven already made you breakfast” he tells you, to which you perk up and turn back to look at marc.
“exactly, now go get ready” he leaves the room, closing your door to give you some privacy while you slowly got up and got your uniform on.
once you do so, you finish getting ready in the bathroom, like brushing your teeth and all that jazz.
you came out to see marc with a plate of food at the kitchen table.
“come eat, you have to go soon” he nods to the plate, then he loves to the fridge to shuffle stuff around in it while you go and sit down.
marc comes back and gently slams a bottle of your juice on the table, making you look up at him with a small smile.
“i love you”
marc scoffs. “why?”
now its your turn to scoff. “why do you think?”
“because i got you juice?”
“exactly” 
“nice to know” he ruffles your hair aggressively, just wanting to piss you off.
“hey- hands off” you shove him away, making him chuckle.
“khonshu will make sure you finish that, but we have to go” he starts walking backwards to the door while you nod in understanding.
“stay safe” he nods at you, reaching behind him for the door.
“we’ll see you tonight, love you” he opens the door and leaves, locking it behind him.
you smile to yourself, and happily eat your breakfast while scrolling through tiktok.
you’d come across a fun looking simple recipe, and it was vegan too.
perhaps if you got home before the guys, you could surprise them with a little treat.
just simple muffins.
but they all loved muffins so surely they’d be happy.
you finished up your food and cleaned your plate before leaving for another long day at work.
~~~
the bell rings as one of the last customers of the day comes in, so you turn your attention to them as soon as they walk in.
“welcome to espresso bay, what can i get for you?” you ask politely, the girl in front of you smiling back.
“just a croissant, please” she says, and you nod.
“can i get a name for that order?” you ask again, the girl nodding.
“it’s mei” she responds, so you nod and go to get her a croissant while she walks to the waiting counter after she pays.
once you grabbed the warm croissant with a square of dry wax paper before sticking it in a small brown paper bag.
“croissant for mei” you exclaim put to make sure she can hear you.
you set the bag down on the counter and she comes up and takes it.
“thank you so much” she nods with a smile and leaves after you wave.
that was your cue to clean up and head home, hoping that your boys weren’t back yet.
only because it would ruin the surprise if they were.
but you missed them, even though it’s only been a few hours.
it was another short walk back, since you were power walking.
and of course you threw some bird seed out for the crows.
once you got back, it was immediately time to start your muffins.
you were making three different kinds, all of them for each of your dads.
stevens we’re going to be vegan, obviously. he liked banana muffins so that’s what you’re making for him.
for marc it was chocolate. he had a sweet tooth as much as he didn’t like to admit it.
and finally for jake, you knew he enjoyed strawberry muffins. you kept coming across strawberry flavored things over time, and never once saw marc or steven eat them, so it had to have been jake.
khonshu hates strawberries, too so it just proves that your theory is correct.
you luckily had the ingredients, and quickly got to work once you got cleaned up from your job.
it was quarter to 7 when you heard the front door open and then proceed to slam shut.
the slam shook the mirrors hanging on the walls, and you were lucky you had cleaned everything up in the kitchen while the muffins cooked.
they were done, and had been sitting in the still warm oven while you waited for them all to get home.
you didn’t want to do anything to set them off, so you stayed drying off a small bowl with a towel while you heard heavy footsteps coming towards the kitchen.
it was jake that came in looking frustrated, so you avoided eye contact and kept slowly wiping the dry bowl until he left.
he paced around the kitchen for a minute before stopping and standing over the sink next to you, looking down in it with a blank stare.
you don’t say anything or look in his direction, but it only took a short choppy movement from him to make you flinch.
he didn’t notice, and he takes off his hat to slam it on the counter, making you slightly jump again for nobody to notice.
jake takes a short breath before looking over to you who was just holding a towel and a bowl in your hands while staring at the floor.
“i’m sorry i-“
jake is interrupted by khonshu showing up, making him look up at the bird with a glare.
“you” he sneers at him, walking towards him, just brushing his shoulder against yours.
“you fucked up the mission you stupid bird” he points up at him, you watching and putting both the towel and the bowl down.
jake started shouting at khonshu, the bird just tilting his head at him, and it was when jake turned around and raised his hands in the air that you brought a hand up in front of your face and backed up a step.
jake froze in his movements, bringing his hand down slowly and backing away from you as you brought your own hand down to walk towards him.
“i’m going on a walk” he says shortly, heading for the door, and would’ve made it if you didn’t shoot a web out to stop it from opening.
“princesa, let me out” he tells you, tugging on the doorknob while you come towards him, khonshu now long gone.
“why?” you ask, standing about a foot away from him.
“i.. i scared you i need to leave-“
“no you didn’t. it wasn’t you, i know you would never” you tell him, and he relaxes completely, letting you come over to hug him.
“you thought i was going to hit you, y/n” he says quietly, not wrapping his arms around you, just standing there.
“but you weren’t. it was just a force of habit” you try to explain.
“it shouldn’t be. i’m so sorry” he shakes his head, and you hear his voice crack at the end of his sentence.
“jake.. it’s okay” you hug him tighter.
you let out a small sigh when you sense a switch, leaving you to pull out of the hug and backing up.
“i’m sorry love, he’s… he’s not in a talking mood right now” steven starts slowly, and you nod.
“well, i made something for each of you” you begin, walking back to the kitchen, pulling out the single pan which had the three different kinds of muffins.
“i have muffins for all of you. your favorites” you say quietly, and steven smiles.
“that’s the sweetest thing ever” he starts, coming over slowly to put a careful hand around your shoulder.
“we don’t deserve you” marc says from the mirror across from you.
“you’re right” you start. “you deserve better” you finish, and marc chuckles.
“nice to know you still have a sense of humor” 
you roll your eyes with a small smile, wanting to try the muffins you made.
“the banana ones are for you, i made sure that they were vegan” you tell steven, making him put his hands to his heart.
“you’re such a sweetheart, we really don’t deserve this” he smiles, helping himself to one of the muffins.
he offered half of it to you, which you took happily but as you chewed on it, a sharp pain erupted in the back of your jaw, making you wince.
steven looks to you in worry.
“hey, are you alright?” he asks and you shrug.
“i’ve just had a toothache for a while, it’s no big deal” you wave him off, and he gives you a look.
“maybe you should get that checked out, when’s the last time you went to a dentist?” steven asks and you make a face.
“cant remember” you shrug like it’s no problem, and steven raises an eyebrow. 
“are you serious?” he asks and you nod.
“that isn’t healthy, darling, you should try and get an appointment” he advises and you sigh.
“maybe”
~~~
after the muffins and the whole lecture about your health, you ended up sitting down with him and watching a couple movies, while trying to lure jake back out.
“i wanna watch triple frontier next” you say and steven chuckles.
“aren’t you tired?”
“nope” 
“fine, let’s just- wait a damn minute, that’s the guy from star wars” he notices.
“yep, it’s your celebrity twin” you smile at him, which makes him raise an eyebrow.
“and one of the dilfs i have a celebrity crush on” you begin again, and steven makes a face.
“don’t say dilf” he cringes and you laugh.
“sorry sorry, let’s just watch this”
that night was spent watching movies with a certain someone in it.
it concluded of triple frontier, in secret, and many others until you fell asleep.
even thought some of them were 18+, steven still enjoyed his time with you.
jake was still weary about coming back out, even though you had repeated that it was okay, over and over.
steven carried you to your room, tucked you in and kissed you on the fore head before sneakily taking your phone and leaving the room to let you sleep.
he knew it was wrong, all of them admitted it, but it was all for the plan.
you see, your birthday was tomorrow. you hadn’t told them that, khonshu had found it out and told them.
they knew why you didn’t tell them, and it was because it only ever reminded you of when your parents gave you up.
or so you thought. but now it was considerably worse.
it just reminds you of how your mother died and your fathed left.
your dads were determined to make this the best birthday ever for you.
starting with the help of a certain someone’s.
you see, they already got casper on board. they got his number from your phone, and now they had one more call to make.
“hello? y/n, are you okay?”
“it’s steven, and we need a little favor”
~~~
A/N : the next chapter will be so much better, i promise.
thank you all for the support, i love you all and your funky requests :)
also sorry its late, i was busy today &lt;3
