“This case is a rough one, folks,” Garcia said as she entered the room, handing you each a file. “Some sicko in Colorado is targeting foster kids,”
Hotch made sure the briefing was short, not wanting to waste any time before you all got on the jet. 
"What are you doing?" JJ asks.
"Readin' the file." You answered, before offering the bag of seeds you were currently making your way through, "Sunflower seed?"
"Why are you eating sunflower seeds?" She sits down next to you and you shrug. 
“Got hungry,” You lied, “‘S all I had in my bag,” JJ rolls her eyes slightly as she chuckles with a smile.
“Garcia’s calling,” Morgan cut your current conversation and you all turned to the laptop.
“Speak and be heard!” Garcia exclaims as she pops up on the screen.
“Have you managed to look up the foster history of the victims yet?”
“The database is running as we speak,”
“These kids were all well behaved,” You state with a sigh, flicking through the file, “I don’t understand how they were in so much trouble at school,”
"I bet you were such a sweetheart as a kid," Garcia teased, the rest of the team chuckling. 
"Er, no ma'am, I was not," You answered, embarrassment flushing against your cheeks, "I was actually quite the little shit - pardon my language. I mean I was goin’ through a lot, but that doesn’t excuse my past behaviour, I did chill out at about fifteen though,"
“What happened at fifteen?” Reid asked curiously.
“My Mama and Pops adopted me and Aden,” You said with a small smile. 
When you got to the station, introductions and the set up was quick and soon enough, the team had all split up to different crime scenes. Hotch, however, had asked you to stay at the station, to interview different foster kids who might have known or seen something. Hotch had told you that he would be back soon, he just needed to follow a lead with Prentiss.
“Excuse me? Mr FBI Agent, sir?” You look up, a small boy, only about seven. He was the last one to be interviewed (in fact you were about to go and get him for his interview), his foster parents had dropped him off three hours ago and left, claiming that they needed to pick up another one of their foster children from daycare. You had made sure the boy had been comfortable sitting in the breakroom with some snacks, a drink, and a colouring book.
“Hi, how can I help you?” You ask, giving him a small smile. 
“I- You are FBI, right?” When you confirmed, he continued, “Is there a way you can tell them to move me to a different foster home?” 
“What’s your name, kid?”
“Jacob,”
"I'm (Y/N)," You said, before asking “Why do you want to move, Jacob?”
You furrowed your eyebrows as he answered, “I want to be with my sister.” You swallow the lump in your throat, only having known the worry about being separated from your sibling.
“I can try, kid,” You said, “But I can’t promise anything…”
“They’re not nice people.”
“Who?”
“My foster parents,” Jacob whispered, “They yell… and they throw stuff…” You close your eyes for a moment, being able to read behind the lines. 
“How bad is it?”
“It’s bad,” Jacob’s voice wobbles as he tries his best to keep his emotions at bay. 
“Hey, kid, look at me,” You crouch down and wait until he’s looking at you, “I’m g’nna make sure this place gets shut down, you hear me?”
Jacob gives a small sniff as he nods, desperately wiping at his eyes. “It’s okay, kid, it’s okay.” You mumbled, pulling him close to your chest. “I promise, I will make sure you go somewhere nice.” Jacob clung onto you tightly and you lightly rocked the pair of you back and forth in hopes of helping him calm down.
“Jacob, your foster parents are here to collect you,” Hotch said as he appears in the doorway and your heart breaks as Jacob only clings onto you tighter.
“Jacob, hey, look at me,” You swallow slightly before continuing, “I’ll do everything I can to get you somewhere else, okay?” He nods as he forces himself to let go of you and stand up.
“Promise?”
“Yeah, kid, I promise.” You reached into your pocket, making sure the foster parents weren’t looking before you handed him your card. “You have access to a phone?” He nods, “Okay, you phone me if you need me, okay?” He gives another nod as he pockets the small card. You watch as Hotch leads him out of the room, to his foster parents and you have to look away for a moment. When you gather the strength, you look back to find Jacob looking at you anxiously, you give him what you hope is an encouraging smile and then he’s gone.
You didn’t account for the foster parents being the killers. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.  
It’s been maybe five hours since getting back to the hotel when you get the phone call, it’s the middle of the night and you were laid in the dark trying to sleep. When you answer it, Jacob’s scared whisper on the other end of the phone, begging you to come and get him, that he was in the kitchen, and he was scared. And then the line goes dead. You’re standing up and putting your shoes on as you wake Hotch up, only giving him enough time to knock on Rossi’s door before you’re out of the hotel and in one of the SUV’s ready to go.
You all but kick the door off it’s hinges as you enter the house, heading straight to the kitchen, stomach dropping when you see his small figure on the floor. You’re kneeling next to him in an instant as you put pressure on the wound.
“Hotch? Hotch, call an ambulance, he needs an ambulance-” You rush out when he walks into the room. Hotch nods, with a grim look on his face as he takes in the kid’s condition, knowing he’s not going to make it.
"You're g’nna be a'ight kid, you hear me? You're g’nna be a'ight," You give him a small smile, “You’re g’nna be just f’ne,”
“You came?” Jacob’s voice is quiet and you have to strain your ears to hear him.
“Course, kid,” You reply, “You’re g’nna be okay kid,”
“Promise?”
“Yeah, kid,” You answer, voice shaking, “You need’a hold on, a’ight??”
Jacob nods slightly before he goes limp in your arms, “Kid?” You bring a hand up to lightly tap his cheek, “Kid?! Kid, come on! Hotch!” When Hotch is in the room, you look up from Jacob’s face to Hotch, “Hotch, he’s stopped breathing, what do I do?!”
“I don’t think there’s anything we can do.”
“What?” You look up at him, face a mix of desperation and anger, “Hotch, we can’t do nothin’-”
“(Y/N), he’s lost too much blood, nothing we can do will help him,”
“We could try a transfusion-”
“We both know we can’t do that,”
“We have to do somethin’!”                
And then the rest of the team (minus JJ - who stayed behind to be with Elena, Jacob’s sister, who had made her foster parents take her to the station in worry for her younger brother, she had quickly told JJ about her ‘big sister intuition’) and the paramedics arrive. It takes Hotch and Morgan to pry away and you want to hit both of them for it. Instead, you get into one of the SUV’s and drive back to the station. You needed to be the one to tell his sister.  
JJ looks up when you enter the room, “JJ, can you give us a minute, please?” JJ studies you for a minute before she nods, telling Elena that she’ll be right outside.
“Where’s Jacob?” You swallow heavily as you sit down on the couch, next to Elena.
“I- I’m so sorry,” You begin, “I did everything I could, but he- he didn’t make it,” Elena’s eyes are immediately filled with tears as she stands.
“No, no you’re lying! No!”
“I’m so sorry.”
“This is your fault! This is all your fault! You killed him!” She screams and just hearing it makes your throat hurt. You stare at her, desperately trying to keep the tears at bay as she continues to scream at you. “Your fault! All your fault!” She shouts, hitting your chest as she does, you barely flinch. “All your fault!”
You look up, meeting eyes with JJ as Elena lands another open hand hit against your chest as she yells. Your eyes drift back to Elena as she collapses against your chest, sobbing. “I got you,” You mumble, and she grabs your shirt tightly in her fist as she sobs loudly. “I’ve got you,”
“He can’t be gone,” She hiccups, “He can’t be dead. He can’t be.”
“I’m so sorry,” You mumble, swaying lightly. “I’m so sorry,”
The door opens and closes quietly and your head shoots up. JJ gives you a small smile as she sits next to the two of you, she gently scoops Elena in her arms and gives you a look – telling you to have a moment to yourself. You nod a thanks and leave.
You walk straight to the closest shop – not stopping to talk to any of the team, mind too caught up as to how you still haven’t managed to make an arrest, despite knowing exactly who was behind all of this. Being caught up in your own head also meant that you didn’t hear Hotch tell Morgan to follow you and keep an eye on you.
You were usually so good, whenever you had the urge to pick up a cigarette again, you'd munch your way through your weight in sunflower seeds until it left. But after this case? There was no way that was going to happen now. When you get there, you buy a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. Wasting no time, you sit on the curb outside of the shop, lighting the cigarette now in your hand and taking a long, deep breath. Part of you had missed this.
 And then, out of pure luck, you spot Mr Richards, Jacob’s foster dad, crossing the road. You ditch the cigarettes and lighter on the floor and the next thing you know, you’re sprinting after him and then tackling him to the ground. When he struggles, you pull your arm back and punch him, and then again and then- A hand’s on your shoulder, trying to pull you off.
“(Y/N), that’s enough.” Morgan? You ignore him and shrug the hand off, punching him once more before you’re ripped off of him and being held back. Richards is on the floor, groaning. Prick. 
The rest of the team all jog to the scene, Prentiss and Reid cuffing Richards and Hotch approaches you and Morgan. “What happened?” He’s looking at you as he speaks, but you assume he’s talking to Morgan, so you continue to glare at Richards, whose nose is still bleeding. You can’t help but smirk slightly at that. 
“He tackled him and kept punching,” Morgan answered shortly. 
“Take him back to the station, don’t let him see Richards.” Morgan nods as he leads you to the SUV.
You're restless on the flight back, legs shaking, hands fumbling. You knew everyone noticed (it was a bit hard not to), but we're thankful that no one said anything yet. Your body was itching for another cigarette. The familiarity of it between your fingers, the repetitive motion. You place your hand in your jacket pocket, feeling the small box and feel yourself relax slightly. 
"Clint Eastwood over here has been smoking," Morgan said.
“So?” You asked, cocking an eyebrow. 
“So it’s not exactly good for you,” He answered, you huffed slightly. 
“I’m not doin’ this now,” You reply, closing your eyes as you let your head hit the back of your seat. 
“Let me talk to him,” JJ says softly and there’s the quiet sound of someone sitting down opposite you, “(Y/N)?”
You open your eyes, finding yourself automatically gazing into JJ’s. “Yeah?”
“Talk to me,” She says softly and you have to look away. You don’t want to spill everything. You don’t want to be vulnerable, not when the others are so close by. You knew the second you started, you’d want to tell her everything, spill your heart out. So instead, you just shake your head.
“I’m fine,” You give a small smile before shutting your eyes once more, you hear her sigh and feel her gently place her hand on your shoulder and then it’s gone and suddenly you feel cold. 
When the jet lands, Hotch makes it known that he wants to talk to you in his office. You don’t say anything, you just nod. And so, you follow him to his office.
“Normally, I wouldn’t be too concerned,” Hotch said, “But this isn’t healthy, smoking isn’t healthy. You’re using it as a coping mechanism.”
"I know it's not exactly the best solution-" You began, "But it's better than, I don't know, some coping mechanisms for sure."
“You need to talk to someone about this,”
“I’m fine.”
“(Y/N), I’m serious,” He says, voice stern. “You can’t bottle this up.”
“Hotch-”
“Don’t make me put you on leave, (Y/N).” That hits a nerve and the next thing you know, you’re sort of yelling. 
"What do you want me to say Hotch?! I held that kid as he died Hotch!" Your raised voice caught him off guard, you didn't generally raise your voice. "I- I told him he was gon' be 'kay. And then I had to tell his sister he'd died. And what, y’all expect me to just be 'kay after that? I'm sorry to disappoint ‘cause I ain't. N I'm sorry if that means I'm not the person you thought I was or if that somehow disappoints you, but I- I can't just forget about it that easy,"
“Of course you’re allowed to be upset, it’s normal.” Hotch replies, keeping his voice comforting but still stern, something you didn’t even realise was possible until meeting Hotch, “Take the weekend to relax, we’ve all got the time off, see how you feel on Monday, okay?” You nod, mumbling an ‘okay’, “Alright, I’ll see you later, have a good weekend.”
“You too,”
“And (Y/N)?” You turn to him, “Try and quit the habit while you’re ahead,” You give a small nod and leave the office.

Chapter 3 The past (the blue roses adorning his eyes)
(I gave Toji this ability because no one else has something like this, that I know of, and Toji has like a heavenly pact or something so I figured why not give this to him.) Cw: infidelity and swearing, and I think a bit of misogyny
It’s been a week since Marissa started staying in the palace. It’s been utter hell. You’ve had twice as much work to do since it seems the king is too tired. 
“If the king can’t keep it in his pants long enough to actually do his work then he shouldn’t be king.” Addison said as she brushed your hair. You’ve had to bring some of the paperwork back to your chamber to get it all done. 
“What do you mean?” 
“…” 
“Addie I’m not mad at you. I just want to know what rumors are going around. If it affects his reputation it unintentionally affects mine.” 
“…well, I’ve heard from a few maids on my breaks that there’s been a lot of noise coming from the king’s chambers at night, recently.” 
You heave in disgust. “I think I’m going to be sick. I really regret asking. You know what, I’m going to go see Toji.” 
“What?! Why?! He’s dangerous!”
“Maybe so, but he’s the only one who has the power to see the past. I need to know where I went wrong in this relationship.” 
“Alright. Just please be careful.” 
“I will. Trust me.” You stood up from your desk and walked towards your room to change into some riding clothes. You put on a white shirt; navy blue shirt; corset, tights, gloves, and boots (all black). You grabbed a navy blue satchel bag and filled it with some money. 
You ran down to the stables, and felt your stomach drop when you saw your husband lift Marissa off of YOUR horse. You’ve been working your ass off to make sure the kingdom is prosperous and trying to keep your people from starving and here he was showing off to try and get laid. 
You walk towards your horse grab a helmet and snatch the reins from Marissa. “Satoru, how many times do I have to ask you not to let your friends ride Pendragon? Just because she lets you stuff her like it’s thanksgiving doesn’t mean I’m going to make an exception. You have dozens of horses in the cavalry force. Why can’t you use any of them?” 
“Ruru can do whatever he wants as the king.” Marissa smirked. 
“News flash: Pendragon and I have grown up together. I trained him to be the award winning thoroughbred he is.” You glare and got up on your equine companion. “Satoru doesn’t have control over me or my assets and the next time either of you touch him I’m going to take legal action.” You trot out and down to the city. 
In one of the more rural neighborhoods there was a tavern called Hermes. It was a quaint place with a small apartment above. The neighborhood itself was quite adorable it was filled with people who disliked the drama of the urban areas and preferred to live peacefully lives. You came to a haunt outside the tavern and tried Pendragon to a post. Then you walked inside and sat on one of the stools. “Hello, may I see Toji Fushiguro?” You smiled at the bar tender. 
“Right this way.” You were lead to a back room. 
“Mr. Fushiguro. How are you? How’s your son?” 
“Don’t pretend like we’re friends. I left the royal courts because they wanted my power.” 
“I know. I’m sorry you left everything you knew behind.” 
“Why? I took Meg away from that hell, and remarried a nice widow, with an adorable daughter. Megumi’s finally opened up and has started to play with kids. Leaving was quite possibly the best thing I could’ve done for him.” 
“Well I’m glad to hear that.” You empty out your satchel. “Because I have a favor to ask.” 
“I don’t want your money.” 
“Then what can I repay you with?” 
“Abolish the Zenin act.” 
“What?” 
“You heard me. If you want me to do a reading for you you’ve got to abolish the Zenin act.” He slides a piece of paper towards you. It was a contract. 
It read. ‘I, her majesty, hereby vow to abolish the Zenin Act which states, non sorcerers may not join the military, hold political positions/any position of power, or marry a sorcerer or nobility.’
“I agree that the law is wrong but, you have four mouths to feed. Why would you choose this over money?” 
“Even if I denounced my family I’m still by birth a noble and thus my marriage isn’t exactly legal.” 
“Even more reason for you to take my money. I’ll sign if you agree to let me pay.” 
“Deal.” He said as you scribbled your name on the contract. He took it back and held your hands in his. 
“Ew, why are you hands sweaty?” 
“I haven’t held a man’s hand since my wedding, day give me a break. This is awkward and I you surprised me when you grabbed me okay?”
“Heh, so even the queen can be a bundle of nerves. Now, what do you want me to show you?” 
“Where did I go wrong with the king? Why did he start having an affair.” 
“WHAT?! That wimp is having an affair?” You tend to forget that Toji caused a scene and fought Satoru at your engagement party. You genuinely enjoyed watching Toji kick the snot out of a younger brattier Satoru. He left such a good impression with that display that you two stayed in contact after that night while he went into hiding. 
“Please just show me.” 
“Okay, close your eyes and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. It might not be exactly what you want to see.” 
“I know. Let’s do this.” You did as Toji said and your vision went black before a bright light pierced your skull. You were looking around at a party full of people dressed to the nine in silks and gold jewelry. 
“Is this, my engagement party?” You thought to yourself. You should be back in the body of your 21 year old self. 
“Introducing, the Prince of our great Kingdom, Satoru Gojo.” A man said as you looked over at the crowd. 
“This isn’t right. As the reigning heir he was introduced first.” You thought. 
“Introducing, his bride and our queen to be, (Y/n). Daughter of the Duke of RainFeather.” The announcer called as your body in the familiar Burgundy dress walked up to you as you held out a hand and your body took it. 
“She looks just like her father.” A voice not your own filled your head. “Bored and snotty.”
“Am I in Satoru’s Mind?” 
“The two plan to celebrate their engagement with a waltz.” The announcer informed as you lead yourself to the dance floor. 
“Strange, isn’t it?” You heard your voice, as the orchestra played. “We’ve only just met the day we were engaged.” 
“That’s how royal society is.” ‘Is she an idiot?’ You heard. 
“Why does that have to be the case?” 
“It’s our duty.” ‘What is wrong with her?’
“Oh really? Our duty is to breed with our cousins until our skin turns blue? We might be related, you know.” 
‘Why is she so crass?’ “Yeah by two people 200 years ago.” 
“Don’t you think that this marriage is disgusting? That society is disgusting? Normal humans are looked down upon and practically segregated because of the Zenins and you don’t seem to give a shit.” 
“Why should I? They’re just a bunch of pathetic weak monkeys.” 
“My best friend is human.” 
“You can suck my dick while they eat my ass for all I care.” ‘Stupid idiot whore.’ He smirked. 
“Did he always hate me this much?” You thought. 
At this point you stepped on his foot. “If you ever talk about her like that again, I’ll make sure the Gojo bloodline ends with you. I think that you’d make a great Eunuch.” You smirk. 
“Wow! Look at all these incest babies!” A voice from the crowd called. 
“Toji!” You thought with a smile. 
The scene before you speed forward as Gojo and Toji started to fight. 
“Hey! I was watching that!” 
“Didn’t you feel your foot get stomped on? You feel the pain of the person you are in the mind of.” Toji’s voice was in your thoughts as you sped through, a tunnel of light. 
“Isn’t this an invasion of privacy?” 
“Kinda. At least now you both stand on equal ground in terms of being bad spouses.” 
“I don’t know if I want to continue this.” Your voice cracked. 
“Guilt is a common side effect. Besides we’re not done. We’ve still got two places to go to.” As he said that everything faded into a new scene. One of your wedding. 
“She’s so infuriating!” Satoru’s voice came out whining. “All she ever talks about it “oh Addison is so cute. Addison did something remarkable. Addison is actually a really great person and so are all of the other monkeys.” 
Suguru laughed at his friends complaints. “If she loves the peasants so much she should marry her.” 
“Addison is what you’d call a monkey.” 
“You call them that too.” 
“Yeah, because of you!” 
“You’re both idiots.” Shoko grimaced. “Gojo I think that the only reason you hate Addison so much is because you are jealous and secretly in love with your new wife.” 
“What?! Shoko you’ve gone mad!” Satoru roared at her in anger. 
“Oh really? So then why’d you let her keep the curse? There’s better prank gifts that you could give her than something that could kill everyone.” 
“Yeah, like lingerie. That way you get something out of it too.” Suguru nudged his best friend. 
“She’d have to fuck my corpse because I’d rather die than touch her body.” 
“Really? I bet her curves are nice and smooth. She’s got a pretty nice ass.” Suguru teases. 
‘If he touches her, I’ll kill him.’ You heard Satoru think. “Whatever, I’m going down to the Red Sea Winery and Pub if you bozos need me.” 
He rode down to the pub and there he met a blond waitress. “Hey handsome what will it be?” It was Marissa. 
“How about a wet cavern?” He smirked at the pretty woman. 
“I think we can arrange that.” 
“Toji! I don’t want to see anymore of this!” 
“Blue balling him in his memories? That’s cold.” 
You went to the last scene and it was more recent. 
“Marissa. I have something to ask you.” 
“Yes your highness?” 
“You can call me by my name. Even a nickname if you want.” 
“You can ask me whatever you want Ruru.” 
“Well we’ve known each other for a year and a half. I was wondering, would you like to be my girlfriend? My proper girlfriend?” 
“I’d love to Ruru!” 
‘Is this what you meant all those times you said that Humans aren’t so terrible?’ Satoru’s mind flashed to thoughts of all your fights about the non sorcerers. ‘Thank you wife. You’ve shown me true happiness like I never thought you could.’
Out in the real world you started to cry. “Wow. This is quite ironic.” 
“I’m the reason he gave Marissa a chance? All of our fights led to them meeting and him falling for her?” 
“Seems so.” Toji scraped the coins off his desk and put them in his bag. 
“I have to go.” 
“He’s not worth your tears!” Toji called out to you as you ran from the room. You left the tavern and rode straight back to the castle. 
As you approached you saw a carriage leaving. It stopped as you two passed and the rider called out to you. You turned around and saw Suguru walking uphill towards you.” 
“What’s wrong?” He frowned concerned for you. 
“Nothing. I just have something in my eyes.” You wipe your tears away. 
“ I was coming to see if you wanted to have tea with me at my manor so that we could talk about some issues. You weren’t there so I decided to go home.” 
“We can go have tea now if you want.” You offer. 
“Sure. Just follow us okay?” You nodded as he got back in his carriage. You were worried about this meeting since him and your husband are friends but you honestly didn’t want to be at home right now. 
Besides, how bad could Suguru actually be?

❝ now that all reports agree that justin did indeed go into the waste,   i am certain that the witch meant me to be without him when i needed him most.   i think she took wizard suliman as bait to fetch justin.   and it follows that i need a fairly clever and unscrupulous wizard to get him back. ❞ ❝ howl will just run away, ❞    sophie warned the king.   ❝ no, ❞ said the king.   ❝ i don’t think he will.   the fact that he sent you tells me that.   he did it to show me he was too much of a coward to care what i thought of him,   isn’t that right,   mrs. pendragon ? ❞ sophie nodded.   she wished she could have remembered all howl’s delicate remarks.   the king would have understood them even if she did not.   ❝ not the act of a vain man, ❞    the king said.    ❝ but no one would do that except as a last resort,   which shows me that wizard howl will do what i want if i make it clear to him that his last resort has failed. ❞

merthur fic recs: hogwarts au
1. Arthur Pendragon's Formal Investigation into the Strange Matter of Aithusa and Merlin by injeong                
Aithusa was Merlin's pet. A white, fluffy, lithe cat that had an uncanny habit of appearing wherever Merlin was. Arthur was also convinced that she was a dragon in disguise.
AKA A Hogwarts AU in which Aithusa is maybe a dragon is disguise and Arthur is getting a headache.
~~~
rip arthur
2. to get his attention by TheCourtSorcerer (@thecourtsorcerer)
“It’s not what it looks like,” Arthur swore, his eyes wide. His hands flew up in a surrendering gesture, his wand dropping to the floor of the Astronomy Tower with a clatter. He winced at the noise as it echoed.
Merlin stared at him, horrifyingly silent. Any other time, Arthur would have laughed at the fact he was still in his uniform so late past curfew, but now… Now, all Arthur could think about was how careless he’d been.
And…how bloody ethereal Merlin looked in the moonlight.
or
Arthur had the best plan to get close to Merlin, and it was going great. Until...he gets caught, right when he's finally working up the courage to ask out his friend.
~~~
ahh scheming!arthur is so cute
3. So I wanna know (what's the name of the game) by itsrainingcats (@lumosheart)
"Amortentia smells differently to each of us, can you guess what that smell is based on?” Arthur dipped his stupid nose into the steam, inhaling it, and promptly started coughing. Ironic, Merlin smirked, that Arthur Pendragon would be allergic to the smell of love. “Whatever repels us, I expect. This stuff wreaks of Merlin.” That halted Merlin’s train of thought rather abruptly. Freya sniggered behind him, obviously realising the same thing as Merlin. “Quite the opposite, Mr. Pendragon, the Amortentia potion exudes what we are attracted to.”
Aka, yet another Hogwarts Enemies to Lovers AU but with a twist... Arthur thinks he's found his soulmate, Merlin thinks he's playing an intense game of gay chicken.
~~~
why is merlin like this dahfjlkdsfhjk

Emails and Interludes (Arthur Pendragon x M!Reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Dom CEO Arthur Pendragon x Sub Cis Male Employee Reader Rating: Explicit Words: 1395 POV: Second Summary: You CEO has control over your vibrating buttplug and since he is the boss, he gets to play with it whenever the fuck he wants. Note: For the prompt ‘vibrator’.  See my kinktober 2022 masterlist here.  Tags: bluetooth sex toys, modern AU, CEO AU, buttplugs, dom/sub, humiliation kink (?), pain play, degradation kink, etablished relationship, safe sane and consensual, little bit of crying and aftercare
You had been answering emails for the better part of two hours, when something suddenly started buzzing. It was not your phone. You cleared your throat and leaned your elbow on the desk, hiding half your face with your hand on your chin, trying to disguise that the vibrating butt plug you had in just came to life, while you were in your cubicle at the office. 
With one hand you unlocked your phone, checking if you missed any messages from your boyfriend. However, it seemed he just decided to play with you without any notice. You squeezed your thighs together, hoping your cock would not get too excited. 
What started out as a gentle vibration, grew to an intense stimulation of your prostate. You bit your lip and hit your face with your hands, trying to make it look like a headache. “Sir, are you okay?” You looked up to see one of the interns leaning against your desk, looking worried. Guinevere was such a sweet girl, but you really did not need her kindness right now. 
You nodded your head. “Yeah, just a bit of a headache.” She put the pile of papers she had been holding onto your desk and put a hand on your forehead. You did not protest, putting all your energy into keeping a straight face. 
“You’re not heating up. Do you want paracetamol? I always keep some in my bag.” You nodded your head again and watched her scurry off with her papers. You let go of the breath you had been holding and a few seconds later the vibrations died down. Then your phone started buzzing too. You let out a relieved chuckle, when you saw who texted you. Mr. CEO Pendragon himself texted you to go up to his office. 
You left before Guinevere could return with her painkillers. The walk up to the elevator felt awkward. You were just thankful for an empty elevator up to the top floor. Merlin sat at his desk outside Arthur’s office. He was on the phone telling someone to not-so-kindly fuck off. He gave you a nod of acknowledgement and a thumb to signal that Arthur was not occupied. You knew that. Otherwise he would not have started playing with your buttplug. 
You knocked on the door, before entering the huge office. Arthur sat at his desk, pretending to be typing something important. You could tell by how quickly he was hitting the keys. Usually, he was slow as molasses. The highrise windows behind him were covered with the white drapes that allowed the daylight to enter, without allowing anyone to see what Mr. Pendragon and one of his employees were up to. “Hope I am not disturbing you, Mr. Pendragon… sir,” you mused, while you sauntered over to the leather couch in his office and lied down on your stomach. 
Arthur did not look directly at you. “In fact, you are,” he said, casually grabbing his phone. You squirmed in anticipation. “I will be with you in a moment.” And just as he finished his sentence, you felt the medium vibrations inside you. You moaned and stretched your body over the couch, trying to entice your boss boyfriend into giving you his full attention right now. 
You unbuckled your belt and loosened your pants. You shamelessly reached into your underwear to stroke your hardening cock. You closed your eyes and made yourself comfortable, touching yourself as if you were in your own bed at home. A few overexagurated moans later, you heard Arthur get up, but you pretended like you did not. It was only a matter of seconds until your hand was roughly pulled away from your cock. You opened your eyes to meet Arthur’s hard gaze. “What do you think you’re doing?” He leered. 
You smirked up at him. “Waiting for you, sir. I thought you were busy,” you teased, a shit-eating grin on your face. Arthur was not impressed. He twisted your arm and lifted you to your knees. Your chest moved along with your heavy breaths as you waited in anticipation. You looked over your shoulder at Arthur, who seemed to enjoy your predicament. 
You stayed like that for a moment, hand twisted behind your back, on your knees on the couch with your pants unzipped. “Get undressed,” Arthur demanded, before letting you go. Once you had regained full control of your body, you made hasty work of ridding yourself of your clothes. You then kneeled on the patterned carpet between the couch and the glass coffee table. 
You put your hands on the back of your head and stretched your back, making sure you looked just how he preferred you. However, keeping a straight back was hard, when Arthur set the vibrator inside you to its maximum setting. You moaned, cock weeping between your legs. You could feel the precum dripping down your length. You looked over at the desk, where the CEO was leaning against his desk, phone in hand and eyes glued onto your trembling body. 
“Please, mercy!” You eventually cried out when you could no longer hold your position and doubled over. You dug your fingers into the carpet, your hips thrusting into the air against your will. Arthur’s expensive leather shoes made a clear sound as they stepped over the marble floor towards you. The sound stopped when he reached the carpet. 
You could no longer hear his steps, so it was quite the surprise when you were suddenly grabbed by the hair. “This is what you get for being a whore in my office,” Arthur snarled as he pulled at your hair until you were on your back on the carpet. He straightened his back and his leather shoe came to rest at the base of your cock. You cried out in surprise as the pain shot through your body. 
“Aren’t you ashamed of how needy you are?” You whimpered, unsure what he wanted to hear from you. He shifted his foot and increased the pressure, his heel digging into your balls, while the rest of his foot squished your cock between his shoe and your stomach. “You like this, don’t you? Say it!” 
“I love it!” You started sobbing, the vibrations inside you and the pain driving you crazy. It was all pain of the most exquisite kind. “I’m your dumb whore, please let me cum.” Through your tears, you could see how pleased your boyfriend was with you. He moved his foot back and forth, painfully massaging your cock. 
Arthur scoffed at you. “You’re pathetic.” The pressure increased. You were sobbing in pleasure and pain. “Cum then. You’re such a painslut. Show me that you’re at least a well-trained one.”
You closed your eyes, moaning, sobbing and gasping as your weeping cock shot cum all over your chest. Arthur did not lift his shoe off your cock, until you were milked dry. The vibrations inside you slowly decreased to a full stop and you were left a mess on the floor. Your breath was shaking as you came down from your high. 
After a moment, you felt Arthur’s hand caressing your face. “Are you all right?” You saw the pack of wet wipes in his hand and nodded, before resting your head back on the carpet. “Good,” he replied, before he started to take wipes out of the pack and wipe the cum off your body. When he was done, he helped you off the floor. You winced when you moved and felt the buttplug shift inside you. 
After Arthur helped you get the plug out, you collapsed on the couch, head in your boyfriend’s lap. You enjoyed the moment of calmness as you mentally returned to the real world. Arthur noticed it the moment you were present and killed the silence. “Dating your boss comes with the benefit of sex interludes at work, but you still need to work you know,” he teased and poked your shoulder. 
You kept your eyes closed, blindly waving off his hand. “You are so fucking romantic,” you complained back at him. Arthur responded by leaning down and capturing your lips in a gentle, loving kiss. When your lips parted and you opened your eyes, you saw the lovestruck look he gave you. 
“Just a little longer then,” he whispered, before kissing you again. Nothing like sex interludes between emails.

Mom's Brat. (Mr drama queen)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🥛| a short, agere fic based off a roleplay chat with character ai. FT Mama!Sophie bc I love her
🥛| !! this is an age regression fic. Meaning this post is COMPLETELY SFW. This post will include words like mommy, brat, and threatening punishment (timeout). But this isn't for nsfw intent. Please don't be weird just because this is what the fic includes. NOT EVERYTHING IS NSFW, so don't interact if you are nsfw or kink ♡ !!
🥛| !! Cw: Howl being called a brat (playfully), kicking, threatening time out, Sophie being stern
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There was Howl, back from only god knows what. He never told Sophie where he went after the sun went down- but she knew it wasn't good. Every night Howl came back he was always completely drained from doing anything. He would get his hot bath like usual before soaking in his bed for hours, even after the night completes and a new day starts.
It worried Sophie. Really, it did. She was told she shouldn't worry, but she couldn't help it. Not one bit. So after one of the nights of howl coming back, soaked, bruised and battered, it worried Sophie so much she couldn't ignore it any longer. After Howl finished his routine bath soaking Sophie Confronted Howl about what was behind the black door. Of course, Howl shrugged her off like always. Thinking that she was 'being too personal' it wasn't personal if she was worried for his well being, right..?
"You're being overprotective again, Sophie" he chuckled lightly to himself as Sophie crossed her arms. "You got some nerve saying that to me, Mr Pendragon." She said in a stern-like tone. Her face cold and unmoving. Howl then grinned. "You live once, my dear. Make enemies along the way. It makes life worth experiencing" he winked before he attempted to go by her before Sophie grabbed his arm, stopping him. "We aren't enemies, Howl. You are just a stubborn baby" she sighed, obviously frustrated. She thought for a moment, before she looked at his face. His face no longer had that grin- no, it was soft and.. vulnerable. Sophie knew what that meant.
"Hey Howl?" She asked gently. "...do you want to regress?.. you, uhm.." she paused, looking down. "..haven't done it in awhile." Howl then shook his head. "Enticing, but I'll pass" he avoided eye contact. "You sure?" That's when Howl cracked. He bit his lip, before shaking his head. Sophie smiled. "That's what I thought." Without waiting for Howl to respond, she wrapped her arms around his waist before hoisting him up to her arms. In response, he wrapped his legs securely around her hips so he didn't fall. She brought him downstairs before settling him down at the kitchen chair.
"Uh oh, he's little again! He's gonna try and put me out again! Im sure of it!" Calcifer panicked, peeking from behind one of his logs. Howl narrowed his eyes in response, throwing him a raspberry in response. "Oh, he's alright. I'm sure he's learned his lesson. Right howl?" She asked. Howl huffed. "Yes mommy.." he muttered, pouting. Sophie left the room momentarily, leaving to get howl's paci and bottle.
"Oh yeah, leave me alone with Mr loves-to-spit!" Calcifer complained. Sophie came back, smiling gently. "Oh stop it, Calcifer. Howl said he was sorry" she turned to Howl, offering his bottle. In which, he turned his head to. Sophie then frowned. "Just because he said sorry doesn't mean he's genuine! He spit on me like.. twice!" He protested, his flames growing slightly bigger.
Sophie rolled her eyes. "I'm babysitting two kids. One including you" she grumbled. "Hardy, har har." Calcifer taunted. When Sophie tried to offer Howl his paci, he declined again before resulting to the only bad habit he had: sucking his thumbs.
Sophie sighed before setting down the two objects. She gently tried to pull his thumb from his mouth, but that made Howl frustrated. In his frustration he began to kick his feet, accidently kicking Sophie. Earning a quiet yelp of pain from her. Sophie became stern, grabbing howl's shoulders gently, catching his attention.
"We do NOT kick people, Howl. Not here, not anywhere. It doesn't matter if you're angry or not, you do NOT hurt people. Do you want a timeout? Im not afraid to set you in the corner." she said sternly. Howl took a moment to process her words, anger still bubbling at his surface. With a frustrated sigh he finally nodded. Understanding his mistake. "..sorry mama.." he murmured, this time being genuine. Sophie smiled, kissing his cheek.
"You're okay, sweetheart. Just no more kicking.. or sucking on your thumb. Okay? You have your paci for that" she ruffled his hair gently. Howl had a terrible habit of biting away at his thumb when he sucked on it, this is why she resorted to pacis instead. Finally after another couple minutes of Howl arguing with Sophie, he finally accepted it and put it in his mouth. Of course Sophie had to use reverse psychology to get him to use it, but it worked right? "You're such a brat sometimes, you know that?" She smiled.
Howl hummed softly, sinking further into the kitchen seat. What was Sophie gonna do with a 3 year old in a grown man's body? Who knows
End.

Modern AU. Merlin is famous indie rock artist Emrys. After his first viral single "Dragonlord" he climbed the charts quickly becoming one of Europe's biggest stars. His manager Gwen, has recently gotten him a meeting with one of the biggest record labels in all of Europe Pendragon Records run by CEO Uther Pendragon, although its his son Arthur who deals with most of the clientele.
Merlin was pretty nervous about his meeting with Pendragon Records, they were the biggest record company in Europe, some people even think that the Pendragon's themselves were descended from old royalty. When they walked into the the building Merlin could see why. This whole place screamed rich, as Gwen walked up to the front desk to let them know Emrys had arrived, Merlin couldn't help but stare at the wall of platinum records, the name Ygraine caught his eye that was his mother's favorite singer, and the late wife to Uther Pendragon, the CEO and founder of Pendragon Records.
"Mr. Emrys," a voice called, Merlin turned to see a tall man with curly blonde hair,
"If you will follow me, we can get started," Merlin nods as he and Gwen follow the man into an office, and leaning against the desk Merlin sees the most handsome man he thinks he has ever seen,
"Arthur this is Emrys and his manager Gwen," the curly haired man said,
"Thank you Leon, and it is wonderful to meet you Mr. Emrys," Arthur said shaking both Gwen and Merlin's hands,
"Merlin! You can call me Merlin, Mr. Pendragon," Merlin said stuttering, Arthur nodded chuckling as he sat down at his desk,
"Well, Merlin. You can call me Arthur. Now let's get too it, is Pendragon Records the right fit for Emrys and the brand he has created?"
[A/N: should I end up writing more of this i am not sure yet. I just had the fun thought of this as a fun merthur fic idea. Let me know]

Mommy comes to beacon
It was a sunny day and Glynda Goodwitch was wondering why she was here
Not on Remnant per se; she had no time for an existential crisis. She certainly knew why she was at Beacon; the place would fall apart without her and she owed her Alma mater a lot.
No, the question was why she was delegated to a welcoming committee to a parent arriving at the bullhead docks.
Ozpin insisted strongly that she was the one to welcome this particular person, leaving her to wonder who would elicit such a response. It couldn't be a councilman; Ozpin would welcome them every time.
This was something else at work. But what?
The bullhead landed, opened and revealed...a blonde woman about Glynda's age in civilian clothes, smiling at her knowingly.
A maiden, maybe? Wait no, she was meant to be a parent.
"ah, the deputy headmistress!" The mother jovially exclaimed. "So I suppose you are going to lead me across campus?"
The teacher nodded curtly. "Glynda Goodwitch. My pleasure, missus..."
"Arc!"
Oh.
Mr Arc's mother had arrived, it seemed. Glynda could only wonder what her purpose was here. Perhaps she would bring her unprepared son home? It would be one worry less, knowing a brave but foolish boy would be out of harm's way.
Yes, she was told about his transcripts. An oversight on her part, something Ozpin found immensely amusing. She still wondered what the headmaster was thinking there.
"Mrs Arc." Glynda quietly wondered why she quirked her lips at hearing the name she herself gave. "Please follow me to your son's dorm. I assume you wish to speak to him?"
At that, something in her eyes changed. Did she and her son have an argument? Mrs Arc certainly seemed much sadder all of a sudden.
"well, yes, I do. Lead the way."
----------
Glynda can to realize very soon that Mrs Arc was an alumni of Beacon. How?
Duh.
"it has really been a while since I've last been here. Everything got fixed up and renovated. Do all the rooms have running water now or is the East Wing still getting the short end?"
"I assure you, everything is now in order." And thank goodness for that. More than once, someone she called her best friend mooched off her warm water, every time storming in or using the window. Almost a shame they lost touch.
Or maybe not. There was a reason she was called-
"Do you know if Professor Chala managed to retire before she died?"
Hmm, so she was definitely somewhat close to her year. "He was forced. An alpha managed to ambush him. It took his leg."
"Damn," Mrs Arc breathed. "Always thought he'd get an aneurysm with his anger problem."
"Certainly wasn't exacerbated by a certain student of his," Glynda decided to snark.
The mother made a noise that Glynda found to be sounding close to giggling. Odd, considering...
Wait.
No.
Impossible.
There was just no way-
"Well, I've also been meaning to ask, about other amenities, like the cafeteria food. I hope it's up to snuff."
Way to rip Glynda out of her sudden fear freeze.
"Well, yes, it has been improved considerably -"
"But do you have
The big one"
Ah, there it was again. The feeling of utter dread she had not felt since her school days where she just knew that her best friend was up to something and would inevitably rope her into it. The kind of shenanigans that spawned "the big one"; a horrible stew that looked like something from hell itself. Glynda cranked her head slowly towards the mother of eight, bearing a toothy grin the likes of which only one woman could bear.
The Queen Hellion of Beacon Academy.
Arturia Pendragon had returned to her old stomping grounds, it seemed.
"I cannot believe-" the queen cackled maliciously. "That you did not recognize me at all, Glyndie. I'm shocked, I'm wounded and I am offended!"
Glynda sought for a rebuttal or defense. "I didn't recognize you without you usual eyeliner." Why did she say that?!
"oh, so my eyeliner is my only defining feature? Not my figure or my hair?" She snorted jokingly. "For shame~"
"You also miss you calling card." Damn it, stop reminding her!
"Right~ but!" The demon raised a finger and her horribly mischievous grin disappeared. "That is not why I'm here to do, you know, as much as I'd love to give Beacon that Grim Reminder." Arturia said it in such a straightlaced manner that Glynda felt just like a student again. Oh, but this matter was clear and it was very due time to address it.
"it is about your son, no?"
The Queen Hellion nodded seriously and turned to her old friend....
And started bawling her eyes out.
"Why did I say tha-haaaaaat?!"
"What-" the stern blonde found herself in the familiar position of being glomped.
"My baby boy must ha-ha-ha-haaate meeeeeeeee!"
...
Ozpin would pay for this.
------------
Welp, the time has come to do a funny series. I chipped away at this for far too long, but here it is.

Stardew Characters' Spirit's Eve Costumes
Tumblr media
This is a repost of a post from my old blog from a few years ago!
Happy Halloween / Spirit's Eve / Blessed Samhain / whatever you may celebrate today! Many people dress up in costume for this holiday - what might the residents of Stardew Valley be dressed as this year? (note: there are a few costumes of characters that likely wouldn't exist in the Stardew Valley universe, but I believe that if they did, it would be a likely fit for certain peoples' costumes.)
Tumblr media
Abigail: Westley (from The Princess Bride)
Alex: a zombie, maybe even a zombie gridball player
Caroline: a witch
Clint: a ghost (white sheet style)
Demetrius: Gomez Addams (from The Addams Family)
Dwarf: likely doesn't celebrate the holiday (due to not following many human customs), and therefore wouldn't dress up
Elliott: Howl Pendragon (from Howl's Moving Castle)
Emily: A ghost, but full out with a - historically accurate - dress recreation from 170 years ago, white face/body paint, and shimmer powder
Evelyn: The Bride of Frankenstein
George: Frankenstein's monster
Gus: A stereotypical summer tourist (including a bum bag/fanny pack, white face paint as nose sunscreen, a floral shirt, and a far too large sunhat)
Haley: Daphne Blake (from Scooby-Doo)
Harvey: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (one on the right, the other on the left)
Jas: Rapunzel
Jodi: A bee
Kent: Either doesn't dress up, or dresses as a pun (such as 'ceiling fan' or 'when life gives you lemons')
Krobus: Like the dwarf, he may also not celebrate this holiday, but if he does, Krobus would dress as a jack-o-lantern
Leah: Sally (from The Nightmare Before Christmas (or I suppose The Nightmare Before Winter Star?))
Leo: Pretty new to the celebration, but dresses up as a flower
Lewis: A clown (in the classic circus way, not a horror way)
Linus: A mummy
Marnie: A scarecrow
Maru: A monster truck (with actual mechanical elements)
Pam: A pirate
Penny: Ms. Frizzle (from The Magic School Bus)
Pierre: A vampire
Robin: Morticia Addams (from The Addams Family)
Sam: The Headless Horseman (likely carrying around a hobby horse and a jack-o-lantern as props)
Sandy: Lucy/Nyu (from Elfen Lied)
Sebastian: One of two options: either a last-minute skeleton costume consisting of items he had in his closet, or an Inuyasha (from Inuyasha) costume that was in development for months, and made completely from scratch
Shane: The Grim Reaper
Vincent: a bat
Willy: A cowboy
Wizard: doesn't dress up, but simply by nature of being a wizard, he is dressed as a wizard

“One can’t help but notice, Mr. Emrys, you seem to have a very talented group of family and friends. By my count no less than nine of the fourteen members you have nominated for this hypothetical board of magical oversight are related either to you directly or to one of your closest personal friends. That’s quite the ratio, don’t you think?”
The dark-haired sorcerer leaned back in his seat, grinning broadly. The cameras swiveled, bouncing between the handsome blond senator and the lanky activist, following the motion. There was a quiet whirr as the lenses swirled, focusing in on the charming glint in Merlin Emrys' sky-blue eyes. It was the kind of clip that could launch a thousand gifs before the end of the hearing.
"Magical ability quite often runs in families, I'm afraid." Merlin demured, looking up from beneath dark lashes. “Are you worried about the effect of nepotism on governance, Senator Pendragon?”
The leader of the Senate Oversight Committee for Magical and Arcane Affairs scowled down from his high perch behind the glossy wooden desk. His irritation sizzled across the chamber, not quite as effective as his father’s, but nearly; only a few chuckles drifted up from behind the veritable wall of placards and signs held by the crowd of on-lookers, a phalanx of activists gathered behind their fearless general with their cardboard shields. “Sorcery is natural” one sign read, “Sorcerer Rights are Human Rights” declared another.
“What are you implying, Mr. Emrys?” Senator Pendragon asked, grinding the name between his teeth.
Merlin reached for his courtesy bottle of non-branded water, still beaming, “I don’t think I understand that question, Senator, could you please rephrase?”

I have massive Martin Septim Specific Writers Block™ so here's a fic for my other hyperfixations Adrien Agreste and Kagami Tsurugi.
Knight in Shining Armor
1/?
This inspired a fanfic on Ao3, feel free to check it out: Miraculous: Tales of Pendragon and Chat Noir (and Ladybug)
When a new student transfers from a Welsh school, Adrien doesn't expect him to be so.... Amazing, or for Hawkmoth to akumatize his ex girlfriend. And especially not for the three of them to grow unpredictably close.
Tw. Homophobia, bad parents, arson, dead civillians being brought back to life by magic ladybugs, Kagami Tsurugi crying, y/n feeling heartbreak for a few days, cops, domestic violence
Adrien tapped on his desk, staring at the chalk board bored out of his mind. He had already learned this when Natalie was homeschooling him, so he wasn't paying close attention. Until the door swung open and the principal walked in with a, well he could only be described as gorgeous, boy behind him. His eyes were e/c, and sparkled with joy, like he could burst into laughter at any moment. His hair was a faded but still fire like red with h/c showing at the roots. He stood next to Mr. Damocles, his hand folded in front of him. "Everyone, this is your new classmate Y/n L/n. Please give him a warm welcome." The entire class greeted him at the same time with various levels of enthusiasm. "Bonjour y/n". He smiled and his eyes closed, crinkling up in the corners. "Bore da everyone!" Adrien's eye widened in shock then her smiled and nodded at him. "Bore da." Y/n stared at him in shock, then smiled again, nodding at him. "He is a tramsfer student from the Avalon School of Literary Arts. He's here to study French literature for an unspecified amount of time, so get to know him and be nice." Mr. Damocles said, and most eyes turned to Chloe. "Now, Y/n, why dont you tell us a bit about yourself." Ms. Bustier said, folding her hands over her stomach. "Well, I'm Y/n, as the principal just said, and I just transferred her from Wales. I'm also enrolled into the fencing classes, and I speak 5 languages. But that doesn't include French." He laughed scratching his neck. "Why don't you have a seat over there, by Nathaniel." Y/n nodded and walked down the aisle to a shocked Nathaniel. "Well, lets have a small recap for out new friend..." Adrien was still turned around, staring at Y/n. Fencing, multiple languages, and a school for Literary Arts? Hes amazing.
Adrien slid down his helmet, watching his fencing teacher as he introduced Y/n to the class. "This is Y/n L/n, a transfer from Wales. He was the captain of his schools fencing team and will be joining us for an unknown amount of time." Y/n nodded to the class with a smile before climbing down the stairs and grabbing a sword. He looked around for someone to spar with befire his eyes landed on Adrien. When Adrien noticed his gaze, his face started to burn. By the time y/n got to him, he thought his face would melt the helmet. "Hi, Adrien right? We have class together." Y/n smiled again, and held his hand out. Adrien stared at him before shaking his head and grabbing his hand. "Uh yeah, thats me." Adrien smiled and scratched his neck. "Everyone seems to have a partner already, do you mind if we spar?" Adrien's eyes widened and his helmet fell down. "Sure, Kagami is late so I would be happy to spar you." Y/n nodded and pulled his helmet down. "Great!" The lined up, bowed, and the teacher yelled out the starting words. Y/n lounged at Adrien, who parried. Adrien pushed forward and y/n pushed back. The sound of their swords clashing was the only thing either could hear as they eventually moved off the mat and Adrien had y/n backed up against the wall. He went for the point, but y/n put one foot on the bench next to him, then launched himself up, pushing off the wall and landing behind Adrien, who spun around and blocked his attack. Lunge, parry, lunge, block, jab, parry, lunge. They had eventually found themselves on the sidewalk outside the school with y/n standing on the stairs handrail and Adrien on the 4th step. Adrien jabbed at y/n who flipped off, landing in a crouch before pulling himself up and they kept fencing until finally a sword point touch Adrien's chest. But it wasn't y/n's. "Kagami!" Adrien lifted his helmet, a smile on his face. Y/n took off his helmet and smiled at Kagami. "Hi, I'm y/n. You must be Adrien's usual partner." He held his hand out and Kagami shook it. "Yes. Adrien, I apologize for beind late. There was a car crash on the way here and we had to take an alternate route." Adrien shook his head and put a hand up, "its fine Kagami. You're here now, and that's what matters." Y/n looked between the two, concern on his face. "Are the people who were in the crash okay?" The two Parisians looked at him, Kagami had a small smile on her face. "Yes, Ladybug handled it." Y/n looked even more confused. "Who's Ladybug?" Adrien laughed and put a hand around Y/n's shoulder a small blush on both their faces, "I'll explain the whole thing to you."
Y/n grew used to his new schedule. Class with Ms. Bustier, Classic French Literature with Ms. Bustier, Fencing with Adrien and Kagami, 4 laps around the pool, and then the rest of his day was free. He usually spends his time at the park, or at the library, learning all he can about Paris's superheroes. One day, while he was sitting at the park, reading a book inder a tree, he heard a loud this, someone groaning, and stone breaking. He dropped the book and ran to where the noise came from, finding Chat Noir laying face down in a small crater. Ladybug was fighting the Akumatized Chloe, or Miracle Crusher, or whatever, and Chat wasn't getting up. Miracle Crusher tossed Ladybug aside and started walkimg towards the still down Chat. Y/n ran forward, grabbed Chat's staff and stood between the two. Miracle Crusher laughed and said, "Move before I crush you like I'm going to crush them!" Y/n stood his ground, crouching into position. Miracle Crusher laughed again and then charged. Y/n stood still, not moving a muscle until she was almost within arms reach, then he swung the staff, hitting her in the stomach and sending her flying. She flew through the fountain, breaking it, she flew through the fence, breaking it, and she finally landed on a wall, causing a small crater to form in it before she fell off the wall, landing on her face. Y/n lowered the staff and knelt besides Chat, rollimg him over. His eyes were closed, and he appeared to be sleeping. Y/n looked at him a bit before slapping him across the face. "Chat's eyes snapped open and he jumped up, his fists up. "Chat. Miracke Crusher is over there, heres your staff." Y/n said, tossing to him and walking back to his book. The villain was defeated and a bunch of Ladybugs swirled around the city repairing things. Y/n snapped a few pics of his own, then went back to reading. He was sitting there for a few minutes before Adrien ran up to him. "Adrien, hi." Y/n smiled, closing his book. "Hey y/n, I saw what you did back there with Miracle Crusher, that was super cool." Adrien said, sitting next to him. "Aww, thanks Adrien. It was nothing, Chat was in danger so I helped, the same way he does for all of Paris." Adrien had a small blush on his face and y/n moved his fingers so they were on top of his. "You really think it was cool?" Y/n was now blushing too, as he looked at Adrien, who had a starstruck look on his face. "Yeah, and brave, and amazing, and..." The two were moving closer together, their faces a couple inches apart when they heard the click of a camera and someone running away. Adrien and y/n stood up and watched as a man with a camera ran from the park. "No, no, no, no, my father is going to be so mad." Adrien panicked as he ran from where the blushing y/n was still standing.
The picture of Adrien amd y/n's almost kiss was front cover news immediately. It was all over the web, on most news channels and was defiently going to be in many magazines. Adrien was right, his father was livid. Adrien was forbidden to not only leave the house, but to have any contact with y/n ever again. But that wasnt the worst thing to happen.
Kagami was lighting a candle on her ancestors shrine when she received the message. It was from an unknown number and was a picture of Adrien and y/n looking like they were about to... To... Kagami dropped her phone and the candle she eas holding when she dropped to her knees, the sadness, pain, and jealousy coursing through her body once more, just like it did with Lila. But now it was worse because y/n wasn't only a boy, he was her friend. Was. She cried into her hands, not noticing when the black butterfly landed on the candle until Hawkmoths voice filled her mind. "Suncutter, I am Hawkmoth. You have once again been betrayed by the one you love. But this time, you have been betrayed by not only him, but also someone you believed to be your friend. I'm giving you the power to make them feel the fire of your anger." Kagami stood, her hands clenching the candle in her hand. "They will burn under my scorched blade."
"All I ask for in return is Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miravulous."
Y/n sat next to the fountain, doodling in his notebook when he heard the roar of fire and the cry of sirens. He dropped the notebook, and stood up. A woman was walking down the street, flames flowing from her blade, setting everything she passes on fire, even the people. They screamed in pain for maybe 3 seconds before they couldnt anymore. The woman was now standing at the gate of the park, Ladybug and Chat Noir standing infront of her. Y/n turned around and went running until he reached the Siene. The roars of the burning city and the cries of its people fileld his ears as he dived into the river, floating just under the surface as flames surrounded it. He went up for air every 3 minutes until two figures, one in red and the other in black dived into the water. Ladybug placed her open yo-yo on his face and they all swam away until the reached somewhere they could stand. As soon as they broke the water, y/n threw down the yo-yo and began to talk at a mile a minute. "Ladybug, Chat Noir, how is the fight with Kagami going? What's the akumatized object? Do you have a plan to stop her? What is it? Can I help? What do I do?" Ladybug placed a hand on y/n's soaked arms and smiled. "You do have a part in the plan. Y/n l/n, I'm offering you the Miraculous of the Dragon which grants you the ability to control an element of your choosing. You will use it to help us defeat Suncutter and will return it to me when we're done. Can I trust you?" Y/n put the choker on and watched as a small ball of light swirled around him. "You can trust me Ladybug." The ball of light solidified into a small red dragon. "All you have to say is 'Longg, Unleash The Storm!'" Y/n clemched his fists, smiled and yelled "Longg, Unleash The Storm!"
Y/n dropped down behind Suncutter the flames would be messing with him if it hadnt been for the fire potion Ladybug had given him. "Water Dragon!" He yelled and a blue sphere erupted from his chest and surrounded him and Suncutter. The woman spun around, steam curling from her body before it burst into flames again. "You're using my Miraculous!" She screamed and charged at him. He parried and kicked her stomach, a thin layer of water surrounding him. He called on a column of water to surround her and he walked towards her. "Suncutter, my name is Pendragon and I need you to stop. You're killing people!" Y/n yelled charging Suncutter. Their swords clashed against each other. "They are only feeling the fire of my anger!" Suncutter kicked Y/n's chest, sending him flying. "Why are you so angry?!" Y/n held his hand up, water splashing doen around Suncutter, again putting out her flames. "The love of my life kissed a boy I thought was my friend!" Suncutter dropped to her knees, the water swirling around her. "Hell hath no fury." Y/n entered thr water pillar, a pocket of air opening up for him, and he kneelt infront of Kagami. "I get it. The guy I like, he likes another girl. I try to get close to him, but I know he'll never love me as much as he does her." Y/n put a hand on Suncutter's. "Kagami, I'm sure whatever happened was a big misunderstanding. You cant let a third party influence you when the truth is so easily found." She looked up at y/n, tears falling feom her eyes, curling up into steam as soon as the touch her cheek. A purple butterfly appeared infront of Kagami's face and she clutched her head. "No, Adrien will tell me the truth, and no matter what he says I will accept him Hawkmoth, no matter what!" The butterfly broke and Kagami picked up the sword, twisting the handle until it broke. A purple butterfly flew from it, and was caught by Ladynug, who was waiting on a rooftop. Y/n waved his hand and the water pillar disappeared, but the sphere stayed until the Ladybugs finished putting out all the flames and reviving all the victims. "Kagami. That was amazing, and don't be scared about talking to Adrien. He will always love you, I know that as a fact." Y/n said and turned around before she could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Pound it."
A few days later, y/n was walking to fencing, when he saw Adrien and Kagami talking. He smiled to himself and snuck past until he heard Adrien say, "I do have feelings for him Kagami. Its just, I'm not sure how to handle it." Y/n watched as the two hugged and as Adrien's bodyguard watched them closely, looking to make sure y/n didnt make an appearance. Y/n spun around and ran, dialing Ladybugs number as he went. "Ladybug, meet me behind the Louve."
Y/n paced behind the Louve, waiting to see if the spotted heroine appeared. He was about to leave when he head a soft thump and a sharp zip and Ladybug landed behind him. "Y/n, what was the emergency?" Y/n turned to look at her, her eye widened when she saw the puffiness and tears around normally happy eyes. "Ladybug, this will sound strange but you need to give me the Miraculous back. I need to see Adrien. He has been banned by his father from ever seeing me again after the photo that appeared on all those tabloids. And I won't be able to sneak inside his house without superpowers. I know that the Miraculous aren't meant for personal use, but please Ladybug, I need this. I need him." Ladybug looked at him in shock, before biting her lip, thinking. The Miraculous aren't meant for personal use, but with how he looks and how hes acting, he very could get Akumatized if he doesn't see Adrien. She had seen the magazine's, and noticed how Adrien no longer showed up to class. "Okay, but I'm going to come with in case something happens." She looks him up and his shoulders drop. "In case I get Akumatized you mean." Ladybug bit her lip then nodded before handing him the Miraculous.
"Longg, Unleash The Storm!"
Y/n landed inside Adrien's room, looking around for him. Ladybug was standing on the window, watching him. Y/n sat down on Adrien's bed to wait, then the door opened and Adrien walked in, slamming it shut and rubbing something from his eyes. "Adrien." Y/n stood up and walked towards him. "Pendragon? What are you doing here?" Y/n stopped smacked his forehead then opened his arms up. "Longg, Open Skies." The costume disappeared and the Kwami hid inside Y/n's hoodie pocket. "Y/n!" Adrien yelled and ran in for a hug. The two embraced each other, just holding the other. "I've missed you so much Adrien. I missed you so much I asked Ladybug to give me a Miraculous just so we could see each other." Y/n said, resting his forehead on Adrien's. "Really? Thank you Ladybug, I don't know how much longer I could have gone without him." Adrien said looking up at her. Ladybug smiled and nodded to them, then her eyes narrowed when Adrien's door was kicked open. "Adrien! I told you you could never see him again!" Gabriel yelled walking into the room with Natalie and Adrien's bodyguard behind him. He shoved the two away from each other, Y/n landing on the floor and Adrien tripping over a skateboard and hitting his head on the couch before being picked up and held by his bodyguard. "Hey!" Ladybug jumped and landed infornt of Gabriel. "Mr. Agreste you just assaulted not only two citizens of Paris, but also your own son." Gabriel stood straight, his hand behind his back. "Ladybug, I thank you for the multiple times you have saved both me and my son, but I must ask that you leave now. This is a family matter and does not concern you." Ladybug tightened her fists, the nodded. "Okay, I'll leave. With Adrien and Y/n." She said, sending her Yo-yo flying at the bodyguard. It hit him in the nose, sending him stumbling back, and then it wrapped around Adrien who she pulled twoards her. Y/n stood up and grabbed Ladybug who ran out the window and jumped away.
"Officer, I'd like to report a case of domestic violence as well as assault." Y/n stood uncomfortably behind Ladybug, with Adrien next to him. All the officers in the station looked at the trio as Ladybug filled out the paperwork to repoet a case. Y/n was slipping Longg a cracker when not only his mom, but Kagami and her mom barged into the station. The three of them went straight to the other three, the two adults discussing things with Ladynug and the officers while Kagami, Adrien, and Y/n sat in a closed circle. "Adrien, y/n are you both alright?" Kagami asked, a hand on both of their arms. Adrien nodded, still in shock. His eyes haven't looked up from the floor since we left. "Im alright." Y/n said, giving a small smile. His hand brushed over Longg's head for comfort, Kagami noticing the movement and her eyes widening when she saw inside Y/n's pocket. "Longg." She whispered, catching both Adrien and Y/n's attention. "You know Longg?" Y/n asked, both happy and confused. "Yes, I'm Ryuko." She said nodding. Y/n's smile grew and he put a hand on hers. "I'm Pendragon!" He whispered excitedly. Kagami's eyes widened, her mouth open slightly. "You're the one who talked me down when I... When I.." Y/n squeezed Kagami's hand, shaking his head. "Kagami, that wasnt you. You were being controlled. Hawkmoth weaponized you jealousy and rage. You had no choice." Kagami stared at y/n in amazement, a single tear falling from her eye before she bowed her head. The three of them sat there together, there foreheads resting on each other's. "Adrien, Y/n, Kagami." The three friends looked up at y/n and Kagami's mothers. "The police have begun an investigation, and since they can not allow Adrien to return home until they decide it's safe, so Adrien will be staying with the Tsurugi's." Adrien and Kagami looked at each other and nodded, but y/n wasn't quite so satisfied. "You expect me to just leave Adrien's side after having not seen him in almost 3 weeks? I just got him back and his dad would have beaten us because of it if not for Ladybug. Im not leaving him until I know its safe." Y/n was now standing, with Kagami and Adrien having a hand on each shoulder. "Very well, y/n may stay with us as well. Let's go children." Kagami's mom began to leave after recieving an okay from y/n's mom, who followed them.
The three teens were laying in the Tsurugi Mansion's backyard staring at the night sky, Longg laying between Kagami and Y/n. "So, tonight was interesting." Adrien said. The three of them laid in silence for another minute before they broke into fits of giggles. "Defiently. First, I talk Ladybug into giving me a Miraculous so I can see you." Y/n said to Adrien. "Then you both get hit by Adrien's father." Kagami said, now sitting up. "Then Ladybug kidnaps me." Adrien said, rolling over onto his stomach. "Then it's revealed that not only did Ladybug give me a Miraculous, she's given Kagami the exact same Miraculous." Y/n was now sitting up too, with Longg on his knee. "And then its decided that the three of us will be living together until the police decides what to do with Mr. Agreste." Kagami said, scratching Longg's head. "And then Ladybug decides to let not only Y/n but also Kagami, keep the Dragon Miraculous in order to keep us safe until the case ends." Adrien said, twisting the ring on his finger. "And then of course there's the fact that a famous model, his equally famous ex girlfriend, and his new boyfriend are all sleeping in the same room. Which I got to say, is the most unrealistic part in all of this." Y/n said, staring at the other seriously, then breaking into a fit of laughter alongside the other two. "Well, since were talking about how abusrd this night is. I might have something that will top the rest of it." Kagami and Y/n stopped laughing, looked at each other than Adrien. "I'm Chat Noir." He said, opening his shirt for Plagg to fly out. "Please please, no autographs." The small kwami said, striking a pose. "Well then. I think i can still top that." Y/n said, catching both people, and both Kwamis off guard. "How can you possible top me?" Plagg said offended. "I think i have feelings for both of you, not just Adrien." Y/n said, staring at the ground with a blush. Adrien and Kagami stared at y/n in shock, then at each other. "Oh. Yeah, I think that beats me." Plagg said and floated down to where Longg was. They sat in silence for 2 mimutes, y/n getting more and more panicky until he felt two pairs of lips kissing his cheeks. Kagami on the left, and Adrien on the right. Y/n stared at them in wonder and the three of them embraced, laying in the yard for the rest of the night.

How I learned to stop worrying and love Pendragon's ending.
Ayyyy niche interest time!
I read the Pendragon Adventures books while they were coming out, hell, I remember one distinct summer trip to Drumheller where I, after having saved enough money, read through Raven Rise instead of actually enjoying the trip. Not the first time I spent my trips with my nose in a book, not the last.
Even as a teen, I had developed a certain... Distaste for endings that erase character development. Pendragon's choice of letting the characters choose to go back to being immortal gods essentially, or living their lives as they had originally been raised in preparation for their fight against Saint Dane rubbed me the wrong way. How could Bobby choose to forget everything? How could he be willing to lose friends and loved ones?
As an adult, re-reading the series for nostalgia's sake, and having gone through my own personal traumas and heartbreaks and tough decisions...
I never realized until now how utterly messed up Bobby's life really was. How traumatized this poor kid grew into being. I realized that his decision was the right thing, regardless of my own personal story-telling tastes as a writer myself.
It made me look at how I've grown from that bookworm kid into a traumatized, but ultimately, developed woman I am today. I can look at my own problems and wonder if, had I been given the same choice, would I turn back time to live the life I thought I was promised?
I don't know the answer to that conundrum myself, but I do know that Bobby had every right to make that choice. And he made the right choice. It took growing up for me to realize the bitter-sweet nature of that ending, and that sometimes the right choice isn't easy to make.
Still mad about Mark dying young, though. Damn you, Mr MacHale. Mark deserved the world.

Merthur Modern AU
Merlin was late for work, his first day of work to be exact. He already knew he'd be cutting it close so he had no time to stop for breakfast and barley made it out of his small apartment clothed. He was running to say the least, well until he landed flat on his face.
The busy streets of the city, the smell of sewer systems, which was lovely. The staccato footsteps of passerby's, horns of cars, and the random guy on the corner preaching. New York City in all of its glory.
Arthur Pendragon was sitting in his car. New York City the last place he'd ever want to be but, as destiny would have it that's where the family business is located. Not exactly everyone's dream job but his duty. He had promised to look after the business after his mother passed and the Pendragons where not a family made on lies. The light changes and Arthur begins to move forward until he sees a man fall right Infront of his car. Leaning his head out of the window he yells to the man
"Get the hell out of the road some of us have places to be"
"So do I your highness, my apologies for falling down"
Merlin quickly responds. All the time while just focused on being late. He jumps up as gracefully as he can. Which no fault of his isn't graceful at all. The stranger then yells again
"Get out the road"
"You get out of the road"
"I'm meant to be in the road you ass"
Arthur watches as the man gathers himself up running off mumbling something the whole time. 'Well dangit the light is red again bluming idoit.' He thinks to himself
Merlin is proud of himself he's only a minute late so no one will notice. When he walks into the office he is greeted by Gwen shoving a coffee and bagel his way.
"Thank you?"
"Thank me later the CEO's kid is coming to look at our branch today so get to work please."
"What? Okay, okay, thanks Gwen."
"Of course Merlin."
Merlin runs to his desk to get to work.
Arthur is nervous. He had never really like attending business things no matter how important they were to the company. His father would cart him around when he was younger using him to brag about all the things Arthur had done. None of which were Arthur's choice but oh well that's life. Today he had to check out the branch in New York. His Father had decided it best for him for this task but Arthur thinks his father just didn't want to have to travel far.
He stand in front of the doors to the office. Straightening his red tie as he walks in. The Manager of the location greets him.
"Hello Mr. Pendragon, it's lovely to have you here today. I'm Lancelot if you need anything I'll be in my office."
"Please call me Arthur and thank you Lancelot."
...
(I don't know what else to write rn so if any of y'all want more tell me. Tbh this was just because I'm bored and I love office romances where they get into a little fight before they learn one is the boss and I just felt like it would work with Arthur and Merlin so yeah)

❝    that dog may have the right idea,    ❞    sophie said.   ❝    mrs fairfax,   do you know who lettie’s visitor is ?    ❞
mrs fairfax chuckled.    ❝    the wizard pendragon,   or howl,   or whatever he calls himself,    ❞    she said.    ❝    but lettie and i don’t let on we know.   it amused me when he first turned up,   calling himself sylvester oak,   because i could see he’d forgotten me,   though i hadn’t forgotten him,   even though his hair used to be black in his student days.    ❞    mrs fairfax by now had her hands folded in front of her and was standing bolt upright,   prepared to talk all day,   as sophie had often seen her do before.    ❝    he was my old tutor’s very last pupil,   you know,   before she retired.   when mr fairfax was alive,   he used to like me to transport us both to kingsbury to see a show from time to time.   i can manage two very nicely if i take it slowly.   and i always used to drop in on old mrs pentstemmon while i was there.   she likes her old pupils to keep in touch.   and one time she introduced this young howl to us.   oh,   she was proud of him.   she taught wizard suliman too,   you know,   and she said howl was twice as good      ❞
❝ but don’t you know the reputation howl has ? ❞ michael interrupted.
