Jules Paymer wrote a song about how Angelina Jolie allegedly tried to hire a hitman for herself and their song for some reason inspired me and now I really want to write a fic where mercenary James gets hired by the broken black heir to take him out and he accepts the job but ends up not being able to follow through with it, kidnaps regulus, helps him find out what life is suppose to be like and in return regains some of his humanity back again

Mercenary AU - Species
a brief overview of the species in my mercenary au. this is the 'drabble' i said i had planned but i suppose it isnt really a drabble Humans: Martyn, Jimmy, Gem, Ren? Life Expectancy: 70-80 years Info: They're humans, not much else to include. They can do external forms of magic like potion making and enchanting.
Elves: Joel, Scar Life Expectancy: 4000-6000 years (not immortal) Info: There's two types of elves, normal elves and high elves. Scar is a high elf, they are one of the tallest species and their ears are longer and pointy like you'd expect from an elf. Joel is a normal elf, their height aligns with humans and their ears are shorter than high elves but still pointy. Both types possess mana and can do magic but it's quite weak for normal elves compared to high elves, tho still stronger than whatever humans can do (potions, enchanting). Marriage is magically binding for elves, the only way out is to die. So marriage is quite literally till death do us part. They don't physically age but they can die of old age.
Werewolves: Etho, Ren? Life Expectancy: 1000-2000 years Info: They work like other fantasy werewolves, becoming a wolf on full moons. Blue moons act the same as a full moon for them but blood moons give them a stronger lust for blood. When in werewolf form they are mostly controlled by their instincts but can recognize their friends and family and are less likely to hurt them. They age physically and can die of old age. They're also killable but they have hyper healing so you have to be swift if you want to try and kill them for whatever reason.
Fae: Grian, Bdubs Life Expectancy: Immortal|Killable Info: Again, they work like other fae. They are tricksters and will can steal your identity if given the chance. They're one of the only humanoid species capable of natural flight. Fae families are shown by their wings, which are based off of butterflies. Bdubs and Grian have Apollo butterfly wings. Fae also possess mana and can do magic but they're weaker than both types of elf. Marriage for them is similar to elves. They don't age physically and won't die from old age but they can be killed.
Vampires: Mumbo, Pearl Life Expectancy: Immortal|Killable Info: I did change this up a bit. Vampires in my AU can drink blood from any creature, not just humans. Garlic is more like a minor allergy, it won't kill or seriously harm them but they'll have some sneezes. They are more prone to sunburns but won't just like melt or turn to dust in the sun. Their beds are shaped like coffins for the aesthetic and they can turn into to bats making them another humanoid species that can sort of fly. They're immortal like normal vampires and can be killed by stabbing them in the heart. Doesn't necessarily have to be a stake/cross.
Zombies: Cleo Life Expectancy: Immortal|Killable? Info: Cleo is the only zombie in the little secret life village but not the only zombie in the world. She was killed and then reanimated a few years later by a necromancer. Zombie's bodies aren't capable of taking care of themselves so they have to occasionally replace decaying body parts. Besides the immortality and the fact they won't age, zombies are basically humans. They can be killed by destroying the brain.
Imps: Impulse, Tango Life Expectancy: Immortal|Unkillable Info: Imps are mischievous demons. I know imps are commonly portrayed with horns but Tango doesn't have horns while Impulse does. Imps possess mana and can do deceptive magic. Marriage and dating as a whole normally isn't something in Imp culture but it's not unheard of. They are immortal and unkillable but they can be sealed away.
Angels: Scott, Skizz Life Expectancy: Immortal|Unkillable Info: Out of the many types of angels, Scott is a Dominion and Skizz is a Seraphim. Seraphims have many wings and, for this AU, when they're in their full form they have many eyes as well. Dominions have one set of wings (and eyes) and are lesser than Seraphims. They both possess mana and can practice magic but Dominions can only do healing magic. anddddd checks notes looks like the file for lizzie and bigb was corrupted, guess we still wont know what they are!

« The Matron’s Hounds »
Sanson Smyth & Guydelot Thildonnet
Sanson/Guydelot Mercenary AU
Tumblr media
To go with these Sanson and Guydelot sets
Sanson, angry and disillusioned by the Adders’ casual disregard of his life, left the military and signed up to become a mercenary. Vorsaile felt guilty for his part in the ordeal, and he gathered what remained of his own mercenary life to help Sanson start his journey. Jehantel too was worried about the sudden change, but Sanson was determined, and he had set his path into a single-minded need to prove to the world that they had forsaken the wrong person.
For Guydelot the choice was easy: fuck the authority and especially fuck the Adders. He threw away his insignia, burned his uniform and resolved himself to follow Sanson; for a grand adventure, for learning new songs, and most of all to stop Sanson from destroying himself from within. Together, to the bitter end.
Tumblr media
For a time they travelled far and wide, though the pull of home became too strong and eventually they returned to the Shroud. There they patrolled its winding paths as vigilantes, trawling into places even the Adders dared not tread. They made a name for themselves—The Matron’s Hounds—and was a force to be reckoned with, much to the authority’s displeasure.
But all was not well under the surface. In the aftermath of the Adders’ betrayal Sanson closed his heart and locked it tight, despite Guydelot’s jests and encouragement. The two of them entered a friends with benefits arrangement, fuelled by the reliance on each other’s warmth to stay alive amidst bloody combats and freezing nights, and Guydelot’s desperate bid to keep Sanson from plunging headfirst into a wretched, angry shell of his former self.
Tumblr media
Then one moon they heard rumours that sinister forces have amassed at Amdapor, congregating upon an artefact that the Seedseers feared could trigger the Elemental’s wrath. It was then that they crossed paths with Kan-E-Senna, and the truth of Sanson’s fate finally came to light. Their talk broke down, and it vindicated Sanson’s view of the council’s impotence against the Adders and vice versa. But the Elementals favoured no man and Sanson begrudgingly agreed to help, if only to spare innocent bystanders from a fatal fate.
And so the Matron’s Hounds gathered intelligence and mapped the enemy’s movements, all while Sanson tilted once more into the dark side of his heart, with anger, duty and his sense of justice precariously balancing on a knife’s edge, only held together by the tenuous press of Guydelot’s fingers on the small of his back.
Yet time marched on, and Sanson knew in the deepest recesses of his soul that he must make a painful choice—open his true heart for a chance to heal, or spiral further into a monster that even he could not hope to defeat.

What happens when Dark Samus starts hunting down Agent Twilight thanks to orders by whoever? How are you handling her Yor?
“She’d proven to be difficult opponent to take down.” Yor replied as she wiped away her blood as she glared darkly at the inhuman armored mercenary, helmetless and glaring at her with intense ominous blue eyes.

dando + “I love you” “I know”
Lando presses his hands against his knees, his torso folded in half as he tries to catch his breath. The fight had not been easy, and he says as much to his partner. "Fuckers just won't stay down!"
Two gunshots fire off in quick succession, Lando ducking on instinct and he finds Daniel staring at him, weapon still raised. He looks behind him, gaze trailing down where he sees a dead body slumped against the wall. He turns with a grin, teeth pink, and calls out, "I love you."
"I know."
~~~
The Brit and The Bulldog shoot him knowing smirks, and Lando rolls his eyes. Daniel's picking his way through the field of bodies - unconscious, dying, dead - and he holds aloft a briefcase that Lando could've sworn fell off the train six miles back.
"At least Badger remembered the mission, Baby." The Brit teases, and Lando shows him his middle finger.
"Look what I found, boys!" Daniel crows, and Lando pulls him into a kiss, all while keeping his finger up.
"I love you." He whispers, and he feels a gentle pat to his aching ribs.
"I know."
~~~
"Stop whining you big baby." Max hisses, wrestling Lando's arm back towards him. "I thought you'd be used to this by now."
"It still hurts, dickhead!" Lando kicks Max's shin where he can reach. "Stitches are never fun."
Max just rolls his eyes, carefully working on pulling together the split skin of Lando's forearm where a goon had gotten in a lucky slice. The door behind them opens, and Lando twists to see Daniel wander in, a smile that's equal parts amused and sympathetic. He tosses a pack of painkillers at his boyfriend, and Lando quickly swallows one dry.
"I love you."
"I know."
"I love you too, Lando."
"Fuck off, Max."
"Rude!"
~~~
Despite feeling the tightening in his chest, the way breathing is becoming less and less natural, Lando smiles as he sees Daniel running towards him. It's hard not to smile when he sees Dan, even when there's blood crawling up his throat threatening to choke him.
Dan skids to a stop next to him, and all Lando can think is that the friction must have hurt his knees. The SUV is cold where he's in the back of it, slumped in the crashed remains and he can't feel his toes anymore. He's not sure if it's the weather or the blood loss, but the numbness is slowly claiming his fingers too.
"Hey."
"Hey you." Daniel's hands are hot where they cup his cheeks, and Lando leans into them, trying to chase the warmth. "Stay awake for me, yeah? The Lion's on his way and he's bringing The Iceman. They'll both kill me if you're not awake. You don't want them to kill me, do you?"
Lando's vision blurs at some point, and no amount of confused blinking will bring his world back into focus. But he can latch on to Daniel's voice, and he shakes his head. "No, no kill you. M-mine."
"Yeah, I'm yours, baby. I'm yours."
Despite the pain still spreading across his chest, Lando smiles again, opening his mouth but his tongue feels too big. He coughs, trying to clear his mouth but all he hears is a wet, choking sound.
Something splatters across his chin.
"Hey hey hey, look at me." His face is grabbed again, and he squints, trying to see Daniel's face through the fuzziness. "I love you."
Lando smiles again. "Mmm."
Daniel laughs but it sounds wrong. "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you."
"I know." His eyes slip shut and the world feels heavy. Something is shaking him, insistent and violent and growing in its urgency.
Daniel keeps whispering, "I love you, I love you, I love-"

2:3 Roast Beef
Waking up after finally facing someone connected with your purpose didn’t feel like anything you expected. You had been actively chasing after the people responsible, purposely unearthing information that could lead you to your goal. Killing the man who had left his signature permanently all over your skin and even deeper wounds in your soul was a victory. You should be celebrating. This was a win for you.
But all you felt was cold rage.
His death by your hands had awakened a hunger inside your already unstable psyche. A hunger for blood. It was ironic that the first time in years that you had felt in control, not as a victim of shit circumstance, was when you let loose the turmoil inside you. 
The constant crippling ache of grief in your chest was all at once replaced with an echoing hollowness and a reinforced determination. Instead of relief, it only burned with more fury begging to be unleashed. And why shouldn’t you? The sorrow and trauma you had kept under tight control released and burned brightly in that last encounter. It consumed you, propelled you to kill with no remorse. This was a path of retribution you chose afterall, you reminded yourself. There was no relief, but there was a faint sense of accomplishment. You were a step closer to your goal and at the very least the decimated body you left would send a clear message.
You were coming for him.
You could be patient in your vengeance, but Billy and Frank were right. You needed to be ruthless. You knew that more than once blood would stain your own hands. You knew, but it was only now that you truly understood and now you have accepted it. There was one thing you didn’t count on and you weren’t sure how to feel about it yet. When you hurt your torturer, when you felt his life leave him by your hands, you liked it.
More than you expected.
More than you wanted to admit to yourself.
Frank barely recognized you when he saw you conscious again. His whole body went rigid as he felt the palpable shift in your demeanour. Your eyes now held a coldness that sent a shiver down even his spine; bitterness, resolution, and a calculating awareness now dominated your gaze. It filled him with apprehension and it only worsened as he saw you continually push yourself during training. 
“She’s gonna kill herself with exhaustion if she keeps this up,” Billy muttered as he stood beside Frank, joining him as he watched you from a distance as you completely destroyed a sparring dummy with your bare hands.
He was going to have to order a few new ones along with cases of bullets and new targets for the range. It wasn’t just your hand-to-hand you had been working on. There was a notable difference with how you fought now too. Where all your past training with SHIELD and the Avengers moulded you to be more on the defensive, to take measured and careful actions to disarm or disable efficiently, now you were taking more of a relentless offensive. You were a war dog off your leash. You were either preparing yourself to face Goliath himself or you were trying to work out all that aggression inside you. At this point it could be either one, but they both knew all too well how destructive this type of hyper focus could be.
Especially when murder was the goal.
“Or she’s gonna get herself killed on a mission,” Frank grunted, shaking his head. “She’s bound to get reckless.”
“Speaking from experience?” Billy teased.
Frank glowered at him, but he was too worried about you to put any real threat behind it. The only thing that gave him a sliver of reassurance was the fact that you still continued to crawl into bed with him. The mindblowing sex aside, he was glad that you still came to him to ground yourself from the nightmares that now plagued both your sleep and your consciousness.
That meant you weren’t totally lost.
But Frank was. He didn’t know how to help you aside from holding you through the night. This was a problem that couldn’t be solved with his fists. You needed more. You needed something else.
“What she needs is an outlet. I have an idea,” Billy said as he started to stroll toward you. He turned back to Frank for a second to throw him a wicked grin that pulled at the Punisher’s nerves. “You’re not gonna like it though.”
Frank jogged after him, wanting to discuss this idea between the two of them first but Billy was already smiling down at your curious expression. He looked far too pleased with himself.
“Do we have a new lead?” you asked as you tugged at the wraps on your hands. There was a hopeful anticipation in your eyes and a hard set on your chin as you waited for Billy to respond.
“Not yet, but I have something else for you. I may have a way for you to repay my generous hospitality.”
“I’m not sucking your dick, Russo.”
A laugh erupted from his lips as you rolled your eyes at him, but the small lift at the corner of your lips said that you weren’t too bothered. You were used to him propositioning you on a regular basis by now and it had grown to be part of your regular banter.
“Just to be clear, I’ve been asking you out to dinner,” he said while wagging his brows, which didn’t exactly support his claim to innocence. “But if that date happens to end with your pretty mouth making a meal out of me then I’m not about to complain.”
You shook your head, silently chastising him for his filthy mouth despite the small thrill that ran down your spine. The charm on Billy Russo should be classified as a weapon. It was downright lethal.
“So what did you have in mind then?” Your brow raised as his grin grew wider. He was definitely up to some trouble.
“I need you to shoot up some gangbangers for me.”
“Fucking what?” Frank yelled, his scowl speaking volumes on his disapproval.
"I'll do it."
Frank turned his scowl over to you at your easy agreement. You shrugged and he just kept shaking his head.
"I need something to do."
Something to kill.
“Now now, Frankie. Just because you’re parking your dick in the pretty girl doesn’t mean you can make her decisions for her,” he clicked his tongue as he playfully scolded his best friend.
Your head tilted in thought at that. Billy apparently knew, it appears for a while now, that you and Frank were sleeping together and yet he still kept pursuing you. It wasn’t a secret, but neither of you had been advertising your new closeness either. Unless he was completely joking about asking you out, but you knew that he would follow through the moment you said yes. Very curious. There was also no malice in his teasing. A part of you had been a little worried about how he would react when he found out, but all you heard in his voice was something like intrigue. You pushed that aside for another time, having no mental capacity to unpack all that right now.
Right now you have a mission.
Billy was smirking down at you, completely ignoring Frank’s grumbled protests and his dark eyes gleaming with mischief. It wasn’t a hard decision. The moment he mentioned the task, the bloodlust that was resting just under your very skin roared to life and you couldn’t help your own lips curling into a wider grin.
“Let's go paint the town red, pretty girl.”
“It’s a date.”
--------------
“I still think this is a bad idea, Blackbird” Frank grunted, scuffling could be heard over the comms coming from his end followed by a thick silence. 
A row of unconscious bodies lined the back alley wall by the dumpster he was crouching behind. The night covered him as well as the narrow alley behind the local bar that was the known hangout place for this gang. Frank had been blitz attacking every sorry patron that came out the back to smoke or piss. It would take them out of the equation for a while and allow you a clean opening for your targets.
You understood why he didn’t like this idea. It meant more blood on your hands, blood that wasn’t even connected to your vengeance. It meant you were getting deeper and deeper into this life, but goddamn it you were itching to pull the trigger. Sure this time it was a few low level gangsters who had attempted to kidnap the child of one of Billy’s clients, a senator and his family he had been tasked to protect. 
But what about next time?
“It’s just some anger management, Raven,” Billy chuckled from his rooftop perch three streets away, the faint sound of him tinkering with his sniper rifle travelled through the earpieces. “Two coming out. Last ones.”
Frank scoffed, knowing damn well that he offered this task for his own gain and he would probably continue to offer you similar ones in the future. Billy was a businessman and he saw an opportunity to please a client, help your growing agitation, and gain a new asset in you. Win-fucking-win. Frank could hardly do anything about it when you had so easily agreed so he resigned himself to doing his part.
"It's so cute how you two have pet names for each other," you said, teasing but lacking the previous sunny playfulness in your tone.
"They're not pet names," Frank snorted, huffing as the last one fell limp under his choke hold. "They're our old Marine code names. All clear, Blackbird?"
"Confirmed, Raven. Bartender should be moving to the backroom in five minutes as instructed," Billy said, his scope trained on the remaining three inside the bar. "Feeling left out, pretty girl? You can call me whatever you want."
You swear to god he winked. You couldn't see him, but you were sure of it. You rolled your eyes under the low hood of your jacket as you continued to pretend to be busy on your phone. You were sitting on the bus stop right across the bar as you waited for your cue to enter. You were leaning back and relaxed, looking just like any other civilian waiting for the bus but inside you your blood was roaring and your nerves were jumping in anticipation.
"We should give you a code name too though," Billy added, biding the time until he could signal you to go in.
"Hummingbird because you're a restless little shit," Frank suggested, the smile evident in his tone.
"Dead dove," Billy said to which both you and Frank snorted. "What? She is presumed dead."
"What about something cheesy then like Phoenix?" Frank snickered.
"Hedwig," Billy said and Frank hummed his agreement. "The fluffy snowy white owl in the wizard kid movies."
"Why can't I get a normal badass one like you guys? Why do I have to be a fictional bird?"
Because you weren't tainted like them.
At least that's what Billy thought. The code names that they carry weren't just a reminder of their brotherhood, but the darkened path that they previously walked together. He saw a spark of idealism and innocence in you when you first met. The world was still black and white to you, not the sickening variety of grey that Frank and Billy knew it to be. Even now your wrath was in the name of something good. Naming you something with humour was, to him, hopefully a reminder for you to hold on to your remaining light and for him to help preserve it. A snow white owl seemed appropriate.
"We can call you Pigeon instead. Your choice, pretty bird," Billy chuckled, far too pleased with his play on words.
"I hate you both."
"Lies," Billy laughed before his tone dropped to something more serious. "You're clear to enter, Hedwig."
You huffed as you rose to your feet, pocketing your phone while discreetly checking on your weapons. You placed your hands inside the pockets of your hoodie, a casual gesture but also meant to hide how your hands were slightly shaking. You forced yourself to take two steadying breaths before you opened the door and stepped into the dimly lit bar. 
Three pairs of eyes immediately followed you as you made your way to a seat by the empty bar, consciously not making eye contact with your targets. Your fingers tapped on the sticky countertop, looking like you were just impatiently waiting for the bartender but you were waiting for someone else entirely.
"You wanna party, girlie?"
Predictable.
You turned on your seat and watched the small shock and slow satisfied grin grow on the man's features. Even mostly hidden by your hood, it was evident that you had a beautiful face and he was thanking whatever god he subscribed to for his luck as the corners of your lips lifted in what he thought was flirtatious amusement.
"You say that to all the girls? Even underaged ones you plan on kidnapping?"
His smile dropped immediately, confusion replacing it followed by anger as his fists clenched. His hand snapped out to grip your wrist tightly, pulling you close to him until you could smell the stale beer on his breath. Disgusting. You frowned at the stench of him and the proximity of his ugly face to yours, an expression he mistook for you feeling intimidated.
"What the hell are you on, bitch? Who fucking sent you?"
The nervousness you felt earlier eased out of your body. In its place was a sense of calm and focus. Here was a target. A bad man. A man who needed to be punished because who knew whose child they would try to kidnap next. What if next time they succeeded? The reasoning was sound in your mind. The logic justified what you were there to do. The small smile playing on your lips widened as the bloodlust rushed through you.
"The senator sends his regards."
He was too slow to react, too slow to process the shock and confusion as he registered your words. Your free hand slipped into the pockets of your hoody, pulling the trigger of your pistol immediately and shooting through the fabric. It hit him right in the gut causing him to stagger away from you, releasing your wrist in favor of uselessly trying to clutch at his profusely bleeding stomach. He stared at you with horror before his eyes faded and he dropped to the sticky floor with a loud thump.
If the silenced gunshot didn’t get their attention, then their companion dropping to the ground lifelessly in a pool of his own blood certainly did. The other two shot to their feet, chairs scraping loudly and bottles crashing to the floor with all signs of inebriation vanishing from the sudden threat. 
They returned your shots as you made a jump to take cover behind the bar. Furniture went flying and clattered noisily. Your mind buzzed through the chaos as you calculated your next move, almost relishing the adrenaline pumping in your veins.
Their bullets continued to rain down on the front of the bar, the thick wood splintering loudly on impact but they didn’t sound like they were making any move to come closer. Fucking pussies. You rolled smoothly out of the other end of the bar, your gun poised and a sick grin on your face as you shot precisely at one of them.
Two shots to the back of the head.
You slid across the floor closer to the last man standing, grabbing a broken off chair leg along the way before lifting yourself to your feet fluidly while effectively knocking out the gun from his hand. One of your hands kept his arm hostage while the other shoved the sharp broken end of the chair leg through his throat. 
You kept your gazes locked, unflinching even as his blood spurted from the wound and splashed across your face and neck. You watched the life drain from him, a cruel satisfied smirk on your lips as he slowly slid to the ground. You shoved his hand away from your grip as he went completely limp.
Suddenly all noise ceased in the bar and an eerie quiet filled it along with the unmistakable smell of blood and gunpowder. The room was in chaos. Gunshots decorated the bar and the furniture was thrown in disarray. Three dead bodies. You felt a little of the weight on your chest lift and that sense of achievement and satisfaction tugged at you.
You felt good.
"Not gonna lie, that was hot," Billy said with a whistle. "But you missed one."
"What?"
A bullet whizzed right past your ear, freezing you to your spot before it found its home in the forehead of a rather large brute who had just come out of the men’s room. His pants were still halfway done up, haphazardly held up in his rush to investigate the ruckus outside. He had his gun in his hand, but Billy had already gotten to him before he could even turn off the safety. You tilted your head to the side as he also fell dead to the floor before you raised an eyebrow toward your sniper, knowing he could see you through the scope.
“Seriously?”
“What? I always have your back, pretty girl, and I never miss.”
You shook your head as you came to the plain realization that despite your better judgment, you trusted him to have your back. Just like Frank and Curtis, you trusted Billy Russo with your life. They did bring you back from the dead afterall. You nudged the nearest bloody body with your boot, satisfied that they were all indeed dead. The other members of the gang will wake up in a couple of hours to find their comrades.
Your work here was done.
-----------------------------
The sound of idly dripping water from the recently turned off shower punctured through the silence of Anvil's locker rooms. Normally you wouldn't use the baths intended for the trainees and staff. Billy had given you his private quarters with an en suite in the facility that he used to occupy whenever he worked late. It kept you close to them and also hid you from the public while still allowing you to use the training amenities when everyone cleared out. 
You were supposed to be a ghost. You only wanted one person in your past to know you were alive and that was only so he could know you were coming for him. You wanted him to know death was going to be visiting him. You wanted him to be terrified. The rest couldn't know you had survived.
Not yet anyway.
After the adrenaline had worn out, a sharp searing pain bloomed on your side. It was only then that you noticed a bullet had grazed you just on the upper part of your ribs and that the blood on your hoody wasn't just from your enemies tonight. It wasn't too bad. Maybe a couple of stitches, but it did hurt like a motherfucker.
You were much too tired to make it up three flights of stairs and the medical kit down here was more readily stocked than the one upstairs anyway. Billy had excused himself to his office to make some calls and Frank grunted his need for sleep. You were alone. You were standing in front of the sinks, using the mirrors that lined the walls to aid you in stitching the wound. You huffed in frustration and shook your head at the difficulty of twisting your aching body to reach.
A low chuckle and softly padding feet pulled your attention and you fumbled with the towel draped loosely around your hips to cover your half naked form. Fresh from the shower and intending to take care of your injury, you were only in your black panties and bra but you might as well have been stark naked with the predatory way Billy was looking at you as he approached.
“Let me help you with that,” he said, his voice low but with genuine concern.
"I'm good. It's fine."
You quickly stammered out your reply, flustered at the sudden company and desperately trying to cover up as much of your skin as possible. Billy noticed. It wasn't as much the fact that you were barely wearing anything, but more on what was laid bare because of it. He noted how you were particularly covering one side of your neck, a part of your torso, a space around your thighs. He noted how you were trying to keep your arms beneath the towel and how you were angling your body so your back wasn't seen by him or reflected by the mirrors. He noted how you refused to meet his eyes.
You were covering up your scars.
Billy knew firsthand how fierce you were. How powerful. How strong. How fearless. How terrifying. Just tonight alone showed that you were a force to be reckoned with. Right now you looked so vulnerable and small. So unsure of yourself. Ready to tuck tail and run. It pained him and his heart clenched for your sake. He realized then how you had always been in long sleeves and hoodies. Even when you were sweating during training, you remained covered up. It knew now that it wasn't about modesty, but more of shame.
You had no reason to be. Not about this. Not about anything. Not if Billy had any say in it. He made a snap decision and before you could even give in to your instinct to bolt out of there, he had whipped his own shirt off himself. Your mouth dropped open as he revealed broad shoulders, lean muscle, chiseled abs, and a tapered waist. He looked like he stepped out of a goddamn romance novel. Heat flared on your face and somewhere much lower, your eyes darkening with inappropriate desires. You shook your head before they could fully take form in your mind.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Instead of answering you, he grabbed one of your wrists. He pried it free from the death grip you had on your towel, the fabric falling freely and now only held up by one hand. He held your palm low on his abdomen, just above the waistband of his jeans. You were too shocked to really react, surprised by how hot his skin felt.
"Gunshot wound. A militia in the Middle East ambushed us. We didn't know they had snipers waiting for us. I survived."
It took you a while to register his words and the raised discolored patches of skin beneath your fingers. You looked up at him, your expression morphing to angry confusion but he kept his own neutral and gentle even. He guided your hand upwards to his toned chest, his heartbeat feeling as quick as your own.
"Ka-Bar knife. Russian spy. I survived."
He moved your hand again and your entire arm felt like it had been electrocuted. He rested it just below his shoulder, a breath away from his collarbone. You swallowed and grimaced at how dry your throat felt.
"Metal pipe. New York mafia. I survived."
He went on for a while, dragging your hand across parts of his body and telling you stories of each earned scar until your expression had softened and the tension in your body relaxed. You chose to focus on his words instead of the steady heat building at your core from each touch.
"What happened to the one who gave you this?" you asked after one particularly gruesome scar on his bicep.
"Dead. You're not the only one who likes to settle scores,” he said, a small smug smirk on his face before it turned more serious again. “I killed all of them. Except this one.”
He raised your hand toward his face, running it along his hairline from the top of his forehead to just behind his ear. You winced at the long raised scar that was just hidden by his thick black hair. It was a horrid scar and it felt like his skull was almost cracked wide open. For all the time you’ve spent with Billy, it was only now that you even noticed this part of him. You felt a twinge of guilt at never really taking the time to get to know him.
“Who did this to you?”
“Frank,” he said with a sad smile as he refused to meet your shocked eyes. “I deserved it.”
You didn’t ask questions. You knew part of this story of theirs from Frank and though you were curious, this didn’t seem like the right time. You smiled gently at him, your hand falling to cup his cheek.
“Why are you telling me all this, Russo?”
“Because I survived,” he said simply, meeting your puzzled look this time. “Just like you did.”
Heat crept up to your face, embarrassed at how he was basically calling you out. It was subtle. He didn’t say anything else, but he didn’t need to. What he was saying was that you were a survivor. The scars were a testament to your resilience. The marks were proud battle scars. They were trophies.
You willed yourself not to look away from his darkening gaze as he tugged the towel off you, the corner of his lip curling as the air sizzled around you both. The towel fell with a heavy plop on the floor, leaving you in only your underwear and your breath caught as he lifted a finger to trail along the marred skin along the side of your neck. He took his turn to touch you slowly, leaving a blazing trail down your collarbone and leading down one arm. 
He smiled lazily down at you, his eyes hooded as his hand moved to graze along your hip before winding to your back. Your body went rigid but his eyes were softly reassuring and coaxed you to relax back against his featherlight touch. Your back was where the worst of your scars were, spiraling and crawling all over in a mesh of broken skin. Here under the harsh fluorescent light of the bathroom and with all the mirrors lining the wall, there was nowhere to hide from his perusal. You had never felt more naked in your life.
It scared you.
It thrilled you.
His palm came to rest low on your back, pushing you flush against him and trapping you against the counter. His body felt hot against yours, his lean muscles pressing on your softness and his jeans rough on your skin. He tilted his head and leaned in, your lips now inches apart and your breaths mingling in the tiny space. Your heart raced with anticipation as your eyes alternated between his smoldering gaze and his tempting lips.
“Fuck, you’re beautiful.”
His head swooped in then, halting any further thought with a searing kiss. You shuddered against his lips, a soft sigh escaping you and allowing him to slip his tongue in to taste you better. He held you with a hand to the back of your neck, ensuring you can’t escape. As if you wanted to. As if you had any capacity to think of anything else except how electric his lips felt.
Your body arched toward him and his free hand roamed your skin, this time with more pressure. He pressed. He gripped. He squeezed. Each heated touch stroking the fire inside you and shooting straight to your core. More. You wanted more. The frenzy built between you and soon your hands grew more desperate to touch more, your body aching to press harder against him. Your arms wound around his neck, your hands burying in his hair and tugging.
He growled into your mouth and lifted you onto the counter, ripping your remaining clothing off your body. Large hands cupped your breasts and squeezed, making you gasp. He pulled his mouth away from yours but kept his face close, carefully watching your expressions with blown eyes. One hand tweaked your nipples while the other traveled down your body to test your folds, lifting one of your legs along the way and propping it up on the counter to spread you open for him.
“Been dying to taste you, pretty girl.” He kissed you quickly before dipping a finger inside you. Your hands gripped tighter around his shoulder as you squirmed. “Can’t wait to feel you strangling my cock with your pretty little cunt.” 
Your pussy clenched at his words and he chuckled. “Yeah, just like that.”
His movements were deliberately slow, torturous but with just enough pressure to have you panting for more as the pleasure built inside you. His mouth came down to nip at your lips, trail his tongue along the skin of your shoulders, and bite at the column of your neck. A hazy cloud of lust enveloped you and lulled your mind, pushing your insecurities away and leaving room only for all he was giving you. Everything else in the room faded away and the sudden closing of the locker doors jarred you to alertness.
Your eyes widened as they snapped toward the door. Frank. You panicked as you looked at him standing there in a wide stance and an unflinching stare, your heartbeat now racing for a whole other reason. Guilt bit at you as you tried to grasp at anything to cover your nakedness up with, your hands doing little to shield you but Billy wasn’t having any of it. He gripped you by the thighs, spreading you even wider and flashing you a grin full of deviance. You shook your head and tried to hiss at him, switching between looking at the two men.
“Don’t mind me,” Frank said, his voice coming low and raspy. It sent delectable shivers down your spine as he began to undress. “I just came for a shower.” 
You sat frozen to the spot, conflicted between leaping to a hasty exit or grinding your pussy against Billy’s fingers. Your eyes though couldn’t help but follow Frank as he walked toward the showers, taking the area just to the left of the one directly in front of you. You had a perfect view of him and that meant he had a perfect view of you.
“You’re gripping me so tight right now, pretty girl,” Billy whispered next to your ear. You grabbed his wrist, but it did little to stop him from stretching you open in front of his bestfriend. “And so fucking wet too. You like Frankie watching you, don’t you?”
You opened your mouth to deny it, but all that came out was a sharp moan as he thrust his fingers hard and curled them. He chuckled as he watched your hesitance slowly drain away to be replaced by that desire again. He kissed the side of your jaw and kept his lips there, keeping your head turned toward Frank.
“Don’t worry. He likes watching you too.”
His words registered late, the tightening in your core distracting you from Frank’s presence. Frank had water pouring down his head and trailing down his body in the most erotic water show you had ever seen. You couldn’t help but follow the streams down until you saw something that made your breath hitch. 
Frank was rock hard.
Your eyes traveled up and met deep brown eyes that were already watching you. If his proud hard on wasn’t enough to convince you then the feral lust in his blown eyes certainly did. 
“Told you,” Billy said with a breathy laugh. “Let’s give him something to really watch.”
That was all the warning you got before he dropped to his knees and latched his mouth over your aching clit. You yelped in surprise, your hand flying out to clutch onto his dark hair. His free arm banded over your hips, keeping you in place as his mouth and fingers worked in tandem to drive you to insanity. In no time at all he had your thighs shaking around him and harried panting was all you were capable of.
“Billy,” you whined, all your reservations thrown to the wind in the face of your burning need to cum. “Please.”
He groaned and the vibrations made your toes curl. He picked up his pace, scissoring into you rapidly and sucking on your bud with purpose. You chanced a look at him and the intense hooded look in his eyes, commanding you to let go, was enough to push you off the cliff you were teetering on. You came with a scream, your hips rocking against his face and your hand pulling his head closer to your core. Your release came wave after wave, his attention still not letting up until you were cumming again. He held you as you convulsed, drinking up everything you had to offer until you fell back against the mirror limply.
Billy crawled up your body and pulled your head to crash his lips against yours, your taste on his tongue in your mouth was making you delirious. He kissed you hungrily, impatiently, as he fumbled with the opening of his jeans. Your hands clung to his chest, his neck, his shoulders. Anywhere you could steady yourself on. You felt his rapid heartbeat match yours and his obvious eagerness sent another wave of wetness to your core.
“You can choke on my cock later, pretty girl. If I don’t get inside you right now I might just kill someone.”
You shrieked as he pulled you off the counter, setting you on your feet and spinning you around to face the mirror. His long fingers wrapped around your neck, tipping your chin to look directly at the reflection. He bent you over just enough to lift your ass at the perfect height for him, wasting no time and sheathing himself in your heat. You gasped at his length, deliciously curving and reaching places you didn't even know a cock was capable of. He groaned as he felt your walls grip him, his other hand digging into your hip.
"Fucking hell. You feel even better than you taste. Fuck!"
Your eyes started to flutter close as he started to pound into you, immediately punishing as if he just couldn't hold back. As if the feel of you was too good for him to exercise any form of restraint. It felt too good. It felt so fucking good.
"No," he snapped, his hand on your neck tightening to get your attention. "Keep your eyes open. I want you to watch."
He lifted your knee up on the counter, spreading you wider and giving you a view of how your pussy kept sucking him back in desperately. Each time he pulled out you saw his shaft coated in your slick. God, you were so wet.
"I want you to watch how beautiful you look taking my cock."
He jerked your head when your eyes threatened to close again. Your eyes flew open as he snapped his hips, jolting you forward and making your breath catch. Each forceful thrust broke you, taking apart all your doubts and pushing you toward another orgasm.
"I want you to watch how much of a rabid fucking animal I am for your pretty little cunt."
Your gaze focused on him and fuck it if he didn't look exactly like he said. His hair was a mess and falling in front of his handsome face. A light sheen of sweat covered him, adding to the menacing feral look in his black eyes. His lips were curled in a half sneer, half smirk that was pure masculine arrogance.
"I want you to watch how crazy you're making Frank."
Frank. You had completely forgotten that Frank was bearing witness to Billy completely defiling you. You froze as you searched for him and what you saw almost made you cum on the spot. The shower was still running and beneath the stream Frank was furiously fucking his hand, mirroring the way Billy was ramming into you.
Billy's hand coming around to thrum on your clit had your legs almost giving out. Your body relaxed once more in his arms, forced to submit to his unrelenting pace. You could feel your orgasm wind tight in your core and Billy groaned as he felt you start to clamp tighter around him.
"Come on. Nearly there," he said between ragged breaths. "Fucking give it to me."
Tighter and tighter. Higher and higher. Your eyes went to Frank again just in time for you to see him throw his head back, his jaw clenched tightly as white streams of his cum spurted onto the tiles. God, he looked damn good cumming.
You screamed as your orgasm hit you like a truck, your whole body shaking as your hands clawed at the counter. Your vision blurred with white spots but you kept them open, greedily wanting to watch Billy finish too.
"Fucking hell!" Billy growled, slamming sloppily into you. 
He fucked you through your orgasm, not giving a damn that you were oversensitive and wrecked. A few more hard thrusts was all it took to have him grunting loudly as he spilled inside you. He collapsed on top of you, pressing you onto the cold counter as you both tried to regain control of your breathing. His weight and the feel of his heated sweaty body on yours felt oddly comfortable. You were both going to need another shower.
Frank stalked toward you, still fully naked and with water still dripping down his body. You were still sensitive from your release, your senses still buzzing and now laced with nervousness at how he's going to react to all this. He grasped your chin to turn your face toward him, planting a firm kiss on your lips while his best friend still had his softening dick inside you and his cum leaking around your pussy. His lips curled at the corner when you parted.
"Don't forget to turn the lights off when you come to bed," he mumbled before winking at you. "No rush."
He left you shocked and speechless as he sauntered off, leaving you with a rather nice view of his firm ass as he grabbed a fresh towel from the racks before exiting through the door. Did that really just happen? You had so many questions racing through your mind and it was Billy's breathy laugh filled with amusement at your struggle that pulled you back before your brain could overheat.
"So I was thinking that we needed a new strategy about Salvacion."
Your brows furrowed at the sudden change of topic, badly disorienting you given what you had just shared and who witnessed it. You shook your head to focus.
"You're really bad at pillow talk, Russo."
He laughed and you found that you liked the sound of it. You always had it seemed. He bent down to kiss you, tongue swiping for a moment against yours and his hips thrusting just that little bit.
Tease.
"Pillow talk is when we're done. I'm not even halfway done with you tonight," he mumbled against your lips, punctuating his words with a playful bite. "But stop distracting me. Whispers of the incident at the bar are already making the rounds and people are asking questions."
"What kinds of questions?" you asked, trying your hardest not to push your hips back against him. Your back was arching against him and your neck craned to the side as you looked at him through the mirror.
"They're curious to know who ordered the hit and who took it. The mercenary business is a tight community. They wanna know about the new female player on the board."
"Somebody saw?" you asked. It wasn't ideal that news would reach Jill or the Avengers about you. That was a complication you didn't want to face yet.
"Not enough to identify you," he said, brushing off your worries with a soft kiss on your shoulder. "The most they can possibly dig up is that you would have taken the request from Anvil or the senator. Either won't be a problem."
You nodded, a small frown forming as you thought. Anvil was known to employ more discrete security for special cases. Frank would sometimes take some of those assignments as The Punisher and hardly anyone would be surprised to think that the senator had sent someone to clean up after they had hurt his child. You gnawed on your lip as you worked through your worries before staring up at Billy with curiosity.
"You mentioned a new strategy?"
He beamed at you as he nodded. "We've been playing it safe this whole time, waiting and chasing down small leads. Backtracking and retracing what we know so far is not getting us closer fast enough."
A chord struck in you at how he was referring to all of you as a team. You had always been independent and so self-reliant. From supporting yourself and your sister to even when you were with the Avengers. You never felt like you were part of a team. Even with Frank and Billy by your side, you had still remained in that mentality that you were doing this all on your own.
You decided to change that.
Billy was right. By now, you all knew that Salvacion was too careful to leave any breadcrumbs for you to follow. It was irritating the hell out of you and it made you even more restless. He was just as much a ghost as you were and he knew far more about this world than you did. It was easier for him to hide. He might not even be aware that you were alive or if he did then he couldn't care less about you. 
He didn't see you as a threat.
Yet.
"What are you suggesting?"
"We get his attention. We use you as bait."
“How?” you said, raising a brow. 
"By rebranding you." You rolled your eyes as he talked to you all business, but with that mischievous smirk and glint in his eyes. "You'll take more hits, establish your reputation as a merc. It will open opportunities for you to access people and information that deal with the shit he does."
"You think we'll find something this way?"
"Or he might get curious and come out himself," he added. "We can set you up for some gear. Cover you completely so you can remain anonymous if that's what you want. I don't think a big ass spray painted vest with a skull on it is your style."
You snorted a laugh at the small dig at Frank. No, it wasn't your style. Your lips curved into a decided smile, your eyes now dancing with excitement.
"So where do we start?"
Billy smiled widely at you, pleased that you were happy with his suggestion. He kissed the side of your head and breathed in.
"Well every brand needs a name and I think you've outgrown Y/N."
Your smile flashed with sadness for a moment. You had outgrown your name. You weren't that person anymore. When Lily died, Y/N died with her. At the very least, she wished that she did. You spared a moment to mourn your younger self before you steeled your resolve. This was a new chapter. You were a new person. This was your rebirth, your reformation.
"Any ideas?"
"Yeah. How about Nemesis?"

AU: Crossover AU, Cyberpunk AU, Mercenary AU, Childhood Friend AU
Fandom: RWBY, Naruto, League of Legend, Marvel
Summary: Hey General Ironwood. Who do you have under your paramilitary company and how do they come to join your Iron Mantle Company? (You can pick anyone)
Ironwood: "I've always looked for the best of the best. There's Enforcers Caitlyn Kiramman and her partner Vi." *exhales* "Despite the latter's...demeanor."
Vi: "IronDiiiiick~!"
Caitlyn: *pulls her partner back* "VI!"

MERCENARY AU
Rhaenyra was abducted by terrorists and rescued by a masked mercenary from a different country. Four years later, after getting her life back together somehow, she met a shy but charming guy at a coffee shop one rainy day.
He had silvery locks and purple eyes, much like the man who saved her. It might, however, be a coincidence.
She’s not sure why, but she feels safe with him.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
Confession for Roomies (not romantic) "Wow, that's a big surprise. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from surprise." Mercenary AU (Takes place a couple years before the 'main events')
Grian was out hunting for dinner and Cleo had gone to visit their sister, so, at the moment, Etho was the only person at the farm. Normally, that's no big deal, he's alone on the farm a lot. But today, he was anxious. They had been living together for a few months now, but he had managed to avoid the topic. He didn't want to keep hiding it from them, so he decided today was the day. Grian would be home first, hopefully with something Etho could cook for dinner. If not, he'd just take the walk to Trader Scar's and see what they had. Honestly, the food Lizzie and Scar grow is better than any Etho could grow because of Scar's elven enchants, but it's much more expensive than he'd like. He was also riding on the chance that Cleo comes home after or when dinner is done so he didn't have to worry about his anxiety showing to them. They could just get straight into the food then his secret. Etho figured he had enough time before either of them were home, so he went out to feed their sheep and calm his nerves. It was getting around the time where they would have to be sheared and he made a mental note to plan a good time to do it with the other two. "Etho! I got rabbit!" Grian landed on the sheep pen holding two rabbits in his hand. "Oh, two? That's good. I'll get started on dinner, then." Etho took the rabbits from him and headed inside. (I could go into how to prepare rabbit but for the sake of myself and everyone here, I will not.) Etho had just finished dinner when Cleo walked in. "Ooh, something smells good! What's cooking?" "I made rabbit stew. You came home at the perfect time." Etho took three bowls and put them at the dining table. "Smells delicious. Where's Grian?" Just as she asked, Grian came down from upstairs. "Right there." Etho answered with a laugh and poured a spoonful of stew into each of their bowls. They all sat at the table and ate, discussing their days and figuring out when would be best to shear the sheep. "I want to tell you guys something." Etho started when they all finished their food. "What's up?" Cleo collected the dishes and walked them over to the sink. "I'm not really... human. I'm- a werewolf?" Cleo and Grian were silent for a moment and Etho could feel his anxiety rise.
"Wow, that's a big surprise." Cleo remarked. "I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from surprise." "Yeah, that's very- shocking, Etho." Grian couldn't hold back his laugh. "W- you guys knew?" "Yeah! We just didn't say anything because we wanted you to come to us first." Cleo put her hand on his shoulder. "How does it feel to come out of the closet?" Grian joked. "I didn't say I was gay! That was an old dinner conversation." Etho groaned. Cleo and Grian laughed at his reaction and it didn't take long for him to join as well.

A different take from Mercenary!AU: Daemon and Rhaenyra were close before but they drifted apart after Viserys sent him away. Years later, Daemon came back but the family didn’t know that he works as a soldier of fortune. Then, he found out that she had a crush on Criston and wants to date him.
Unrequited love on Daemon’s part... I think?
He lives in a house in the middle of the woods so there will be no distractions.
Mercenary AU is a popular one in the fandom, different takes and ideas, it's amazing. Not unrequited love tho 😭 Well, what's a daemyra fic without angst, right? 🥲

9 with dando?
9. things you said when i was crying
An ache settles in his jaw where he clenches his teeth together so tightly he's afraid they might crack. He presses fingertips into his cheeks almost hard enough to bruise, ignoring the way wetness slips between his fingers and across his skin in a way that itches. His other hand clamps down, smothering any other escape for the sounds he doesn't want the other man in the bed to hear.
Head tipped up, leaning back against the headboard, Daniel does his best to breathe through his nose quietly, staring at the blades of the ceiling fan slowly turning above their bed. He wishes the hypnotic rotation would be enough to banish the images painted across the backs of his eyelids.
He blinks, a flash of smashed glass, the crunch of metal caving in on itself. He blinks, ripped leather, the sound of distant sirens. He blinks, pale skin, cold to the touch, streaked with red that doesn't stop, never stops, keeps going and going and he's dying, he's dying, he-
"Danny?"
Familiarly callused fingers wrap around his wrist, absently hovering over his pulse point. He flinches violently, smacking his head against the headboard and jerking himself free of the gentle grip.
"Danny, hey, hey, it's okay. It's okay! It's just me!"
It's the panic in the voice that breaks through first, and the gut instinct to protect takes over. Immediately his vision clears and he releases the breath he hadn't realised he'd been choking on, eyes snapping to where Lando is now kneeling up on the bed.
Wide green eyes shadowed by dark circles, shining with tears, stare back at him. Lando's hands shake where they hover, uncertain, clearly wanting to touch but afraid to make things worse. It's the easiest thing in the world to wrap his hands around them, curling his fingers over still scarring knuckles, pressing them together.
"Danny?"
"I'm okay." His voice is hoarse, more of a croak, and he's surprised by how sore his throat is.
"You were screaming." Lando's quiet, sotto voce, eyes imploring.
"Sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you up. Go back to bed, I'll be fine." Daniel sniffs, wiping his eyes and drying his tears on the bedsheet.
"You're not fine. Talk to me. Please?"
It's the soft 'please' that breaks him. His nightmares come tumbling out, every little detail that plagues his dreams and wakes him up shaking more often than not. Lando folds him into his arms, letting Daniel curl up small and cling to the warmth of the body beside him. His fingers trace the scars that litter Lando's body, old, new, healing, and he closes his eyes at the fresh wave of tears.
His wandering fingers are grabbed gently, pulled up to Lando's lips for a soft kiss, before they're set carefully against the pulse point under Lando's jaw. The steady, reassuring thump is enough to calm his racing heart, and eventually, long after Lando's letting out little snores, he falls asleep again.
send a pairing and a number from the things you said list
