PLEASE READ:
long post - thank you for 2k! i apologize for the wait but this took me a longggg time to prepare.
it’s also important to note that planets in taurus/scorpio will effect how you resonate with the interpretations below
reminder that readings are open! i’m now selling persona chart readings of planets/angles as well
take with a grain of salt
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1st (scorpio) - 7th (taurus)❤️: relationships are a source of comfort and wisdom. scorpio risings’ experience of reality has to do with trust, hard truths, and taking back your power but their relations with others often bring a sense of peace and value into their lives. people may perceive you to be useful and smart in these similar qualities as well. your partnerships help to balance out the chaos and even insecurity you face at times with your identity and precense in the world
2nd (scorpio) - 8th (taurus) ❤️‍🔥: you are powerful in your resources/skills and in the way you support yourself overall. in this lifetime, how you find worth and appreciation for yourself and what you have (skills, physical resources, etc…). you may feel suppressed or face much controversy for what you value or for how you choose to support yourself monetary-wise or as a person. your biggest comeback story in life may have to do with self-esteem and with how you accumulate worth and value (physical or moral/mental) into your life and goals.
although there may be much turbulence and important realizations/truths that are found in how you support yourself and your goals, the transformations and scary things you face in life ironically enough can bring you lots of support if you choose to make good use out of it (which taurus is naturally good at). of course, this is the house of fears and traumas so a big part of your life story may include building your own sense of independence by learning from times of distress.
3rd (scorpio) - 9th (taurus) 💋: you could be especially sensitive to input from others and be able to pick up undertones and double meanings from others easily. communication, creativity (especially having to do with hands or written words), is your superpower. you grab others’ attention easily with your stories and artistic output when you learn to harness your fears/limitations effectively. this also makes you very intelligent of your community + gossip because scorpio rules over extremes as well
while in your everyday communication and daily life you may uncover and discuss skeleton’s in other people’s closet and may be doing a lot of activities that use a lot of your energy (scorpio is ruled by mars, planet of action), this makes you very comfortable (taurus) in being able to adapt to different environments and perspectives (9th house). having taurus in this house can make someone very wise because they find value and meaning in variety.
4th (scorpio) - 10th (taurus) 💄: people with scorpio in this house have usually had some sort of significant event or trauma regarding their family or childhood or may have regrets as to their actions in the past. these people could be born out of either extreme poverty or wealth too. these people’s sense of safety/privacy can be very important to them or they could feel like this aspect of their life is being compromised often (mars = conflict) but you could also find safety/comfort in curiousity or things that are “off-limits”.
if the private/emotional life of the native is exacerbated and transformative for them the career and reputation for the native is where they feel appreciated and most creative. having these signs in this house-axis can be indicative of a strong comeback story (extreme poverty to extreme wealth or even the other way around). the career-field can be very fulfilling (emotionally or monetary wise) and where you are grateful or feel lucky for the events your work presents.
5th (scorpio) - 11th (taurus) 🌹: feelings of creativity, romance, and happiness are taken to extreme lows and highs throughout life. if you’re a cancer rising, i believe this is where the “moody” reputation for us comes from. like leo rising, there could have been significant changes or revelations during childhood that changed your way of deriving happiness and familial support. these people may crave for luxury and overindulgence and can do so by turning their pain into power. scorpio in this house can make someone very grateful as well.
if our sense of happiness and luck undergoes significant change and gives us our “comebacks” throughout life, the 11th house is where we have already found peace and prosperity with our place in society. we encounter valuable experiences when polishing our individualism (5th) within our community (11th). we can find personal contentment and growth in accepting our individual, unique role amongst the people around us. you may like to surround yourself with confident people as well.
6th (scorpio) - 12th (taurus) 👠: these people can feel very unlucky or trapped throughout life, with the 6h ruling bad luck + burdens and scorpio relating to extremes. scorpio is a smart zodiac i’ve noticed as well, so these people usually have a certain way (especially that requires much energy) of doing their work and job that could defy others’ expectations. extreme focus on a certain obstacle or insecurities is also possible and can take awhile to finally figure out what makes you feel secure and satisfied with how you manage your burdens.
if your everyday burdens and responsibilities test your strength to the max in this lifetime, your imagination, creativity and solitude is where you find peace. it could also be that these people do unusual things to satisfy their need for pleasure and wholeness, because the 12th house is where we are easily misled. these people are internally comfortable with their thoughts and ideas, regardless of how odd they may be because it takes them to a place of stability from their scorpio 6h.
7th (scorpio) - 1st (taurus) 🍒: these natives’ partnerships/commitments make the native have to look more deeply into their underlying intentions or feelings with said partnerships/commitment. this can bring a lot of disturbing but also very eye-opening and insightful experiences that affects the native’s identity and ambitions going forth. scorpio can also be a curious sign so there can be a little bit of investigative or persistent approach to your partnerships and this is where your power can derive from.
it may seem like your partnerships “destroy” parts of your identity, because you approach the world from a sense of wholeness and peace. at least, these are circumstances that you are ambitious to achieve in your life. pleasure and steadiness are big life themes and at first it may seem like life is rather dull or boring, but similar to scorpio in its opposite function, taurus asks us to dig a little deeper into the simpler things in life and to find enjoyment.
8th (scorpio) - 2nd (taurus) 🍫: when dealing with other people’s problems (financially, intimate connection, debts, etc…) it brings about experiences that require you to fix what’s wrong or holding you back in life in rather uncomfortable ways. this can indicate someone who is afraid to acknowledge psychological blockages or who lacks the necessary bravery/instincts to attack underlying problems. you could earn valuable assets (tangible or not) from others when you engage with activities that are “gross” but healing/heroic.
this native survives on feeling complete. having a sense of wholeness is very important to these people and makes these people very resourceful because they are able to make the seemingly mundane valuable and able to work in their favor. these people are good at feeling in control of their life, future, and choices because they are committed and secure in their abilities. these people place much importance on authenticity, diversity, and self-sufficiency.
9th (scorpio) - 3rd (taurus) ❤️: when achieving mastery/global knowledge, and self-discovery it may have to do with bringing up topics that you ignored or swept under the rug especially having to do with your identity/precense (in context of the world and society). your global approach and experiences have to do with dealing uncomfortable topics in order to achieve better awareness and understanding of all aspects of the world. how you navigate foreign environments and your sense of flexibility is your strength.
if foreign experiences provide you with strength through perseverance, your intuition and familiar environments provide you with strength through growth (tangible or not). although it may seem like the everyday social rituals and ideas (including intuition), can appear mundane, this setup of houses gives an opportunity to grow a garden that provides roots, beauty, and good taste in the way you perceive and express yourself local environments.
10th (scorpio) - 4th (taurus) 🪭: these people have to have a ton of intiative when working in their career and towards their big goals in life. it may feel as though these people have to start from a bad hand of cards (compared to everybody else) in order to make it to the top or that their working conditions and/or responsibilities throughout life may feel difficult to complete or deals with high stakes/status. but even though there are difficult tasks they have to be done and you have drive/resourcefulness to do it!!
if the workplace is where you see the thorns in your garden (where you have to get rid of them) your home life and condition is where you see the roses. taurus is good at being able to attract good circumstances for themselves because taurus is very representative of wholeness and the feeling of completion. there’s probably more opportunities for you to setup and manage your domestic life the way you like. wisdom may be found through your domestic life too.
11th (scorpio) - 5th (taurus) 🧨: your surrounding communities/people who support you seem to try to pick you apart. you may feel as if the people who you’re around with don’t actually support you or that there’s something incomplete or “wrong” with the circumstances and people that made you successful, imposter syndrome possibly? your supporters/friends could show you things you couldn’t see before, likely for the better although they may reveal this in dramatic or difficult circumstances.
if you feel incomplete about the people/circumstances that support your public achievements, your creativity and lust for life is where you find contentment. these people feel most stable and appreciated for their talents and way of enjoying themselves. for these people, they find stability, growth, and satisfaction when they engage with activities that bring them happiness. they find beauty and appreciation from others for their self-expression/creatvity.
12th (scorpio) - 6th (taurus) ♠️: your drive to feel complete is what can you mislead you in life. this may be because you feel as if there’s always something missing or not being to shown to you but you are persistent in finding what that something is. this same energy can make the native very wise because they have to overcome their demons over and over again throughout life. but at the same time, you could also feel like your sense of resourcefulness and strength fails to manifest in reality.
if there’s conflict/determination in trying to protect yourself from things that induce bad energy, then there’s likely to be tranquility and acceptance in doing activities that can put your life back on track. the 6h is known as the house of bad fortune in astrology so these people are good at being able to find the most reliable way out of a difficult situation. and while these natives could be good at finding solutions, slacking off and overindulgence can lead to oversight with tasks.
once again thank you for 2k!

hope you enjoyed🥰

Tumblr media Tumblr media
You had just gotten home from yet another eighteen hour shift, only running on fumes and coffee as you were slowly unlocking the apartment door. Spencer was away on a case, so you had the place to yourself for the past week. Your roommate was your best friend, someone who you confide in for every little issue. Rachel at work is being a bitch? Spencer would tell you that she couldn’t handle your shifts and that she needed to stay in her lane.
Even when you were wrong, he had your back. Which was what built up such a close bond and a strong friendship. You had mutual trust in one another, able to speak about all of the burdens of the world and have that sense of safety from lack of judgement. That comfort opened many doors, especially whenever it came to talking about your personal lives.
You’d confessed how stressed you’d been, itching for relief although you couldn’t see yourself having casual sex with someone you hardly knew. It was more trouble than it was worth, a sentiment that your best friend could definitely get behind the more he thought about it. After he opened up about his own struggle, you both had a brief window of silence while contemplating who would be the first one to offer a situation you could both benefit from.
“What if we just.. Fooled around? I trust you, I mean. You’re the best person to even sleep with since you are so cautious. Not to mention your germ thing..” You spoke while he had to think it over, the both of you setting boundaries in place. If either of you were desperate, the opportunity was there at any time when you’re around the apartment.
You didn’t expect things to actually happen that way though.
You were currently in the kitchen, washing some dishes from dinner that you’d carelessly tossed in the sink previously. Spencer wasn’t home yet from a week long case so it’s not like there were too many dishes. You just hated washing them, especially when you get the horrible feeling of wet food touching your skin and making you want to pull your skin off due to the texture.
With music playing in the background, you didn’t manage to hear the sound of the front door open and close, signalling your roommate was back from a long, draining case. Toeing off his shoes by the door, Spencer followed the sound of soft music to the open kitchen, his arms slowly crossed as he leaned against the wall.
It had been three weeks since you discussed your deal and set things into place, his body tense with stress and mind focused on the mind numbing details of the case the team had just solved. He needed to get his mind off of work, so he was taking the plunge tonight. Since you’d both agreed to always be prepared, he felt comfortable coming behind you.
His hands on your hips had you jumping from surprise, just about to yell at the man behind you for scaring you whenever you were silenced by the feeling of his body pressed against yours from behind. “It’s been a long week.” He groaned softly, letting his head bury in the crook of your neck.
You were shocked to say the least. You never imagined Spencer to be the one to initiate anything. You weren’t complaining by any means. Your head was tilting slightly to the side as you could feel the feeling of his lips pressing wet kisses alongside your skin, nipping at your neck playfully along the way. “I’ve been thinking about you for days.” His voice was soft, his hips rocking against you, his hardened cock pressing against your ass while he showed you just how much he’d yearned to let the load of all this stress piling up on his shoulders go.
With his hands squeezing your hips, he wasn’t wasting much time as your sweatpants were being tugged down in one swift motion, pooling at your feet as he was briefly letting you go to fall to his knees behind you. Anticipation was building in your stomach, the mere idea of your roommate taking you in the middle of the kitchen had your arousal soaking through the fabric of your panties.
As you could feel his finger hooking into the damp material, he was opting to push your panties to the side while using his fingers to push the puffy lips of your desperate cunt apart, he let out a low groan at the slick glistening in the kitchen light. “You’re so wet. Fuck,” He breathed, tongue darting out to swipe over your throbbing clit.
The faint taste on his tongue had his hands gripping your thighs, gently nudging them apart as he was delving in.
The sinful sounds of slurping, sucking, and moans were filling the kitchen, your hands gripping the edges of the counter while Spencer was thrusting his tongue rhythmically in your leaking hole. His knowledge on the female anatomy worked out in your favor, the wet muscle eagerly lapping up the gushes of slick that you were graciously blessing him with.
He was intoxicated on your essence, his brain fogged with pleasure as he was drinking everything you had given him, drunk on your wet pussy.
As he was forcing himself to tear away, he was reduced to using the back of his hand to wipe away your wetness from his chin since he’d managed to get sloppier than he anticipated. You weren’t so satisfied with the loss of contact but he was definitely about to make it up to you. “God, I don’t know how I managed to control myself for so long.” He groaned, leaning forward once more to press a kiss to your clit before pushing himself to his feet.
Your head turned, eyes focused on his movements as Spencer was heading over to his satchel that he’d dropped on the table at some point after he came inside. “I asked Morgan how I initiated this and his advice was pretty helpful. He also made sure I was prepared.” He’d chuckled, retrieving a condom that was tucked away in one of the pockets.
His presence coming up behind you had your glossed over eyes focused on his face, making him chuckle as he was putting the condom wrapper in his mouth to hold it, hands working on his pants in order for him to tug them down, boxers sliding down his legs right along with them.
After tearing open the condom packaging, his right hand gave his cock a few lazy tugs before he was sliding the rubber along his shaft. With one hand on your hip and the other positioning his cock at your entrance, he didn’t waste time before sinking deep inside of your eager cunt. “Oh fuck.” You slurred, head tilting forward as you could feel the stretch from his thick cock breaching your inner walls.
You’d always suspected Spencer to be well endowed and you were more than happy to be proven right.
You felt his hips snap into yours, catching you by surprise as you let out a whine. “Feel good?” Spencer asked, his hands resting against your hips as he was continuing with the steady thrusts, your sensitivity causing you to feel every edge dragging across your plush walls, the curve of his cock making the head of his cock assault the spongy button deep inside of you that you yearned for him to continue slamming into.
“So good!” You squeaked out, feeling his arm wrap around your torso before his hand was now gripping at your throat, using his strength to tug your upper body to rest against his. He took pride in the effect he had on you, the way you were panting and whining from him pistoning your cunt, the way you had drool running down your chin from your mouth being agape, even the fucked out look in your eyes that made him want to burst right then and there. “Spencer!” You gasped, legs beginning to shake as you could feel the arousal pooling in your stomach, your body hot from the strenuous activity.
“Fuck, I know. I’m gonna cum too.” Spencer spoke in a deeper tone, sweat beading on his own forehead as his grip tightened on your throat. “Let it go, pretty girl. Fuck, cum on my cock.” He rasped into your ear, lips pressing a wet kiss to the spot underneath it.
The words were enough inspiration as your walls were tightening around his cock, inner walls spasming around his shaft and being the boiling point.
You were the first one to climax, your hand gripping at Spencer’s wrist as you could feel your legs turning to jello, thankfully being held up by Spencer to prevent you falling to the ground and breaking something. His thrusts were sloppy, however it only took a couple more before he was filling the condom with his own spend. He would be lying if he said that he didn’t want to fill you with his cum, however he also knew this had to be done smartly. You both were stressed enough as is, you couldn’t imagine adding a baby into the mix.
As he pulled himself out of your leaking hole, you were letting out a shaky breath. “Oh, my god. Who are you and what have you done with Spencer?” The question caused him to chuckle.
“Stressed out Spencer is a lot different than normal Spencer, huh?” He mused, making you nod.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

~ Represented by "☾" in a natal chart ~ The moon is symbolic for the emotional nature, your natural instincts, intuition, the inner psyche, the relationship to the more feminine parent or guardian and often times how we see ourselves. ~The sign the moon falls into how the behaves and expresses itself, the house it falls into shows where the moon's energy prominently shows up in the native's chart.
Tumblr media
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷 𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓼‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
🌑 Aries Moon- This moon sign feels things at an intense, bold and expressive level. Think of their feelings a constant burning flame, with every emotional encounter acting as gasoline. There can be a sudden, explosive reaction that fizzles out very quickly. This shows up in every emotion that they experience. They aren't one to hold on to grudges because when they feel things they feel it to the fullest extent. Competition, working out and sexual activity can help with feelings of anger and restlessness. They are very passionate lovers and feelers. Aries Moons are not one to beat around the bush, if they feel something they will make it very apparent unless other aspects in the chat show differently. They are known for their assertive and direct nature with a possibility for a selfish reputation. However they are pioneers, confident in their abilities and dreams. They are warriors of the heart and would probably go to war for those they love. At work, they have no issues ruffling a few feathers. Combat, competition and deadlines excite them. Most Aries moons at least have a sports team they loyal to. Expect nothing but emotional honesty from this moon signs! If they want to do something, they will :)
🌒 Taurus Moon- The moon is very comfortable in the sign of Taurus because of its value of security, peace, and safety. Their emotional boundaries are usually firm, stable and strong, which makes for someone with healthy coping skills and self worth. Taurus moons are great lovers, gift givers, and emotionally loyal. They are guided by their five senses and generally have a strong intuition. They try to stay realistic and practical with their emotions. They aren't too big on day dreaming and have an easy time staying grounded in reality and the present moment. The moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning it has an easy time here while also having a chance to grow. Having financial security (although, abundance is prefered lol) and material needs met is a must for a Taurus moons sanity. They are known to strive for the best on a material level; the softest fabric, gourmet foods, beautiful music and aesthetics. Cooking, being with their loved ones, shopping, nature walks, and self care bring them internal peace and relaxation. There may be a tendency to resist change and stick to what they are familiar to. However, who can blame them? They are the masters of quality and comfort.
🌓Gemini Moon- Known for their spunky, hilarious, and witty nature- Gemini moons are far from boring. These moon signs are very vocal about their emotional upsets and excitements, although they have a tendency to cope with humor and make light of how they truly feel. This sign may also have difficulties intellectualizing their feelings and may struggle escaping their mental energy when trying to connect to their intuition. They may have troubles balancing the head and their heart, and benefit from journaling, talking it out, heck!- even talking to themself can be very beneficial. Having something to bounce their emotions off of can bring them emotional clarity. Meditation can be beneficial for these natives, but it might be a difficult practice to get into. There is a nervous, racing, changeability to their emotions which may cause them a lot of anxiety or restlessness. They may benefit by having a healthy curiosity about psychology and the emotional nature, as well as their hobbies and "special interests" which I truly believe every Gemini Moon has lol. They love to socialize with a variety of different people, trying to keep it light hearted and playful. With a Gemini Moon it's really never that deep lmao.
🌔Cancer Moon- The moon sits at home/domicile in the sign of Cancer, making for a generally sweet, family (biological or chosen) oriented, and emotionally aware moon sign. Their intuitive abilities are strong, so when they get a good feeling about someone or something they try to ride with it. Cancer moons enjoy connecting with their loved ones, expressing their artistic ability, and relaxing at home. Their biological family has probably made a great impact on the way they see themselves and express emotions- good, bad or neutral. They are blessed with a great memory and can get lost in nostalgia from time to time. Letting go of the past is not an easy thing for them to do. They may be plagued by memories of the good old days that prevents them from maturing or entering a new phase of their life. Cancer moons are extremely sentimental; if you entered their home or safe space, you would most likely find random knick knacks, birthday cards/letters, or toys that they keep as trophies from the past. This moon sign is private about their feelings, especially in social settings- it is important that they can trust whoever they open up to and that their feelings are safe. They can be hurt easily, which may cause them to put up walls with others. The worst thing you can do is criticize them for their moodiness and emotional changeability. Although Cancer moons are protective of themselves and their emotional sensitivity, they are just as protective of their loved ones.
🌕Leo Moons- Within this moon sign holds a fountain overflowing with creativity and artistic expression. It isn't uncommon for these natives to create a masterpiece after experiencing some kind of loss or a great success. Leo moons may have a playlist curated for every mood and every chapter in their life. It is important that shine in at least one area of their life (This may be determined by where the moon falls in the houses or where the sun falls in the houses), this may not be as loud as a leo sun but it is possible that you will hear the lion's roar if their emotional needs aren't met. They are extremely loyal to their family, possibly to a fault, whether being biological family or chosen family. They are very prideful in their feelings and may struggle to validate the emotional experiences of others, feeling that their experience holds more validity than the experience of someone else's. Most Leo moons have a special talent that the receive recognition for, which often ties into their creative abilities but not always. They are very kind, warm and generous with their emotions and in connecting with others. Those who stay true to the Leo moon will certainly be rewarded.
🌖Virgo Moons-Practical and intelligent, the virgo moon always knows how to improve a situation. They can take a mental approach to their internal struggles, analyzing the hearts desires and searching for the perfect outcome. They can try to fix their emotions rather than sitting with them and feeling out their problems. As with their loved ones, it can be hard to leave their emotional difficulties as they are. Virgo moons can have a very critical mind, and if they fix too hard on their emotions it can manifest in the physical body. They are prone to worry and stress so having an organized routine may help them relax. Having pets at home or plants to take care of can soothe their need to take care of something, more often than not if they aren't taking care of something it can bleed into their relationships. Virgo moons often have an ear for music and prefer music that have "correct" harmonies and good rhythm. Often times their love for others is expressed through acts of service, but they are known to be too critical at times. If a Virgo is not intune with their own emotions, when others or themselves express emotions they can feel uncomfortable or icky. It is important for them not to judge emotions; virgo placements judge themself harder than they judge anyone else.
🌗Libra Moon- Partnership is very important to these people, often times if they don't have a best friend or romantic relationship they can feel less than satisfied. It's common for these natives to learn about themselves emotionally through their connections with others. There is a emphasis on fairness and balance in one's emotional life. That being said, when there is conflict between others, the native can be emotionally avoidant, passive aggressive, and engage in people pleasing activities. It is very important to have a win win outcome, these are not people who care for winning an argument. Libra moons are the most secure when they are surrounded by love, peace. and harmony. Compromise is a talent you can bring to your partnerships at work, family, and personal relationships. It is easy for this moon sign to see the good in others, although they may struggle with uglier emotions that exist within themselves. It can be difficult for them to express when their boundaries have been violated, at least earlier in life. Overtime Libra moons will learn how to lean into their mediating abilities and before they know it this becomes one of their biggest strengths.
🌘Scorpio Moon-This moon sign is deep, mysterious and alluring. Scorpio moons have a instinctive understanding of psychology and at their best can be great healers. Their emotions are powerful and at some point in their life have to learn how to gain control over their extreme emotions. The moon is uncomfortable in the sign of Scorpio and is considered in "fall". Scorpio is a very black and white sign, so wherever you find scorpio in a natal chart can show where there can be extreme polarities. With the moon in the sign of Scorpio, the native can be be all or nothing in terms of their emotions. They can be the most connected, loyal, trustworthy person in your life; however, if you betray them there is no going back. Scorpio moons will never forget what you have done to them, good or bad. Forgiveness is possible and encouraged, but they will always remember the knives in their back. They are great at finding out the truth as well, this placement is powerfully psychic and intuitive. It is near impossible to lie to them and if they find out someone is, it is hard to give a second chance. A healthy Scorpio moon can be the sweetest, kindest, purest person ever. An unhealthy Scorpio moon? A weapon of self destruction, fearlessness, emotional manipulation, and at worst abusive.
🌑Sagittarius Moon- Optimistic, jovial, and emotionally independent, the Sag moon is always down for an adventure! These natives are goofballs and know how to turn that frown upside down! 🤡 Going for a drive, escaping somewhere new can really help soothe their emotional upsets. No matter how down these people may be, they are always up to have some fun! They aren't the best with sitting with their emotions or sitting with their loved ones emotions. They often search for the philosophical interpretation of what's going on in the their inner world. It can be hard for them to emotionally commit in their relationships, and those close to them should know that Sag moons benefit from a go with the flow mentality. They love to connect with people of all different kinds of backgrounds and ethnicities. Through their emotional experiences they often create their own philosophy life and where their place is in the world. These guys are generally good humored, spontaneous and down to hang if their available. They often move many times in their life and might find it is hard for them to settle down. Exercising their freedom is extremely important to them and they are likely to suffer if anyone is trying or succeeding in controlling them.
🌒Capricorn Moon- Hardworking, persistent and patient, Capricorn moons are known for their mature and serious reputation. This moon sign is considered in detriment in the sign of Capricorn, meaning the moon's energy is not the most comfortably expressed here. This moon sign is quite restrictive when expressing their emotions and might feel as though they must be the strong one for others, leaving little room for themselves. It is possible that these natives restrict their emotions to protect themselves or may feel that it's not practical to show how they feel. While they may have a huge heart, Capricorn moons are slow to show their authentic emotions. Even then they aren't big on showing their emotions to those they care about the most. Their actions often make up for their lack of romantic affection. The type to provide for you rather than outright say that they love you. They are dependable and reliable, so if you need anything at all a Capricorn moon will be the first to show up. They are often humble in their gratitude and affection, prefering to keep their charitable acts private. Although this moon sign is considered out of place, there is a lot to be admired and appreciated about he way they show their feelings.
🌓Aquarius Moon- This moon sign is known for its unique interests, superior intelligence, and quirky personality. Aquarius moons can be a little more detached from their emotions than the other moon signs, but they have a big heart for their community and personal relationships. These natives can feel like the black sheep of their family, which ultimately makes them an independent thinker and personality. Often times they make their own family with others who have the same values and beliefs as they do- Although they enjoy a healthy debate now and then. Aquarius moons are humanitarians at heart and want to make the world a better place. It can be difficult for them to honor you or your opinion if it doesn't benefit the world at large. These individuals are often skilled in science, technology and engineering. Their emotions can be erratic and unpredictable even to them, which can make them feel like they are no posterface for sanity. They can feel alone in the world and misunderstood which is why it's so important for them to have a bigger purpose or community to be apart of, they are the happiest when serving the community at large.
🌔Pisces Moon- These natives are the masters of compassion and unconditional love. Their empathy is powerful and their intuition is strong, a lot of these natives have clairvoyant or clairsentient abilities. Although this moon sign is the emotional embodiment of compassionate care, their own feelings can be cloudy, confusing and disorienting. They may struggle with their sense of self and pick up feelings that didn't belong to them to begin with. There can be a tendency towards emotional escapism, which can manifest as addiction, codependency, daydreaming, ect. Because of their are emotional sponges, they often pick up, not only on the good feelings of others but also some darker energy. This can be very difficult to cope with due to their caring and selfless nature. They can become self sacrificing for those they care about, which is very beautiful when you think about it, although it is best not to give with the expectation of something in return- even if it is as pure as love. This can lead to resentment and emotional manipulation that they might not even be aware of. It is important to be grounded in matters of the heart because of Pisces moon sensitivity. They benefit from a "collective consciousness' attitude and are at their best when they give from a place of wanted to give.

🌙 Moon In First~ A sweet, caring and protective personality, this moon placement is known for wearing their heart on their sleeve. They often make strangers feel comfortable upon their first meeting because of their comforting energy. They may show a strong resemblance to their mother, although that is not always present. Many of them have a familiar quality and remind others of a loved one- if not it’s common to feel like you’ve met them before. They are excellent at making others feel like home, although it is important for them to learn how to feel at home within themselves. This may be a constant theme in their lives. You can rely on them to express their emotions authentically however it may be that they are more passive aggressive than assertive. Moon in the first natives are very connected to their emotional nature and their sensitivity plays a big role in their life. They are highly sentimental and if you are in the circle of loved ones they hold you very close to their heart. In their childhood, they could have assumed the role of caregiver for a parent or siblings at an early age. Many of them have super soft skin, have a crescent-to full moon face shape, and sparkly eyes. Depending on the sign the moon is can show if they are more introverted and closed off or more welcoming and outgoing.
🪼 Moon In Second~ With the moon in the second house of self worth, finances and material possessions- This can manifest as a need for financial stability and security. That being said the moon is a constantly changing planet, so self worth and material gains can be kind of an emotional rollercoaster or just a sensitive topic for the moon in second natives. This individual can have a hard time breaking away from the family financially or have some kind of influence of their personal relationship with their finances and self worth. They can have possession of family heirlooms, buy their childhood home, or spend a good portion of money on matters related to the home or loved ones. Depending on their financial situation can determine their emotional stability. When distraught they can indulged in retail therapy, stress eating, or just a fat nap 😴 They are extremely generous when they have everything under control, gift giving or providing for others may be how they show their feelings for others. It makes them feel safe as well when their loved ones are willing to show them the same generosity. They can be very loyal to their creature comforts and may have fears surrounding change.
🕸️ Moon In Third~ This moon placement can be a reserved talker, a good listener and possess a sensitive mind. They are often emotionally intelligent and have an adequate understanding of basic psychology- at minimum. Siblings can hold a soft spot in heart and may live with them from time to time. Some of them may live in their car, RV, bus or live an on the road lifestyle. The more feminine parent could treat them as a friend, an equal, or have a more childlike relationship with them. On a more negative note, that parent can behave very immaturely and not be present in the native’s life. Moon in the Third can be close with their childhood friends and hold relationships all the way from grade school. These people may benefit from learning about their emotions to help obtain peace. They can find comfort in their interests, hobbies and talents; This can serve as form of meditation for them. It helps them to have a loved one they can talk to about their stresses, if not it may cause them anxiety and restlessness. They can have an empathetic communication style that can change depending on the moon sign and the people they are around. Good secret keepers, although they can be emotional gossipers.
🏠 Moon In Fourth~ Home is where their heart is! These people look for comfort in their family relations or creating a family that they never had. These people can have a prominent relationship with their mother or mother figure, where they are like best friends in the adult years. They are sensitive to their loved one’s emotional needs and opinions of them. They are excellent host and probably don’t go out too much. If they are socializing, it has to be somewhere that is safe and comforting for them. They can lean on the introverted side of life, preferring to stay in rather than go out. Doing cozy activities, decorating and tending to their home can bring them emotional satisfaction. They may gain a lot of happiness from being a parent and parenting is most likely second nature to these people. Moon in Fourth natives are generally private with outsiders about matters of the home and their emotions. They have a talent for intuitively picking up the needs of their loved ones, which can make those lucky enough to be in their circle feel very special. Their emotions are meant to be felt with moon in the fourth house and is a great tool these individuals use to navigate themselves, their relationships and the world around them.
💎 Moon In Fifth~ These individuals are loud and proud about their feelings and cares for the world! They are artists that use their feelings to paint a picture, tell a tale, sing a song and so on. Their feelings can be bold and dramatic- they definitely aren’t shy about expressing their concerns or excitements. They have many hobbies, love to have fun and grab the attention of those around them. They are likely to be popular and have many friends because of this quality. It is super important that they express their feelings authentically or they may feel that their light is being dimmed. They may behave recklessly when they are stressed or worried- they have a habit of risk taking or gambling away stability. They can be prideful in their conflicts, refusing to look at the other side of the coin. However, they are extremely loyal to the people and communities they care about. Moon in the fifth may have to be humbled by their loved ones from time to time because they are the main character of their the movie that is their life! Their creativity and imagination is beyond attractive to many, which makes them extremely like able and charming. Others will find them selves loyal to the moon in the fifth, which will more than likely be returned.
🎐 Moon In Sixth~ With the moon falling into the sixth, having a healthy and organized routine is the best way to achieve optimal emotional wellness. This placement may find that they are emotional cleaners and planners. Although they may struggle with keeping a consistent routine, it’s going to be beneficial for them to learn how to keep one. This placement may suffer from anxiety or excessive worry for whatever reason. Often times their moms were very hard on them, worked in healthcare, or had a lot to take care of. These people may find emotional peace and security in taking care of others, plants and animals. Many moon in the sixth natives are close with their coworkers and make a home at the work place. It is possible they have a job where they help others or that their job brings them a level of emotional fulfillment. It is important to note that emotional distress and excessive worry can manifest in the body. Diet is very important as well so be cautious of what food is impacting your moods as well. These people have a tendency to be very critical of their own emotions, so if they aren’t aware this can bleed into their relationships with others. Healthy Exercise and diet can be emotionally healing and supportive.
💫 Moon In Seventh~ These natives find their emotional security and fulfillment in their partnerships. Their spouse will end up helping them a lot with their confidence and become a safe space for the native. Their partner is likely to be very sensitive, empathetic and intuitive to the needs of the moon in seventh individual. The native or their spouse may show care taking qualities in the relationship. The moon in seventh person may be very intuitive and empathetic to others in general. They are the most emotionally sound whenever they have someone to feel their feelings with. They may struggle to express their feelings if they feel that it isn’t “fair” or “just”- which may lead to people pleasing or abandonment of the self. In a partnership their mood can change depending on their partners mood. It is comfortable to have someone to feel and express their emotions with. It is important to learn how to balance their emotional need to be in partnership with a relationship to the self. They will support their partner (and other close relationships) in all matters concerning the heart and encourage emotional vulnerability between each other.
⛈ Moon In Eighth~ This moon placement can have a heavy impact on the natives life. More often than not, the individual will be interested in darker, taboo subjects (crime documentaries, witchcraft, the occult, ect). They are known for their mysterious and deep reputation- I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the tumblr astrology community have this placement. These natives feel things to their core and because of this may find themselves asking "why?". This is a powerful placement and will certainly be felt by the moon in the eighth individual. These people may find it hard to open up, talk about their feelings, or connect to others. There is usually a moment of suffrage in the natives life that brings about great transformation. These moments of trauma...addict*on...ab*se...ect. are the same things that guide them to spiritual research and taboo subjects. These people look for and find their comfort in the unknown. It is a blessing and a curse for many of them- they can have a very deep connection to life and death, which while beautiful, can be lonely🥺. Spirituality is a great gift and tool(excellent intuition as well), so I advise these people to lean into these abilities.
🐚 Moon In Ninth~ These natives could've grown up moving around quite a bit giving them a go with the flow attitude in regards to their emotions! Their maternal figure can be from a different part of the world, philosophical, well traveled, a teacher, or preachy when it comes to theirs beliefs- heck, they could even be a preacher! The years 19-21 can be a very special time for these people. They can find comfort in travel, freedom and pondering life's existence. These people love new experiences, exploring the unknown, and exercising their freedom muscles. It is important that these people have the ability to live an independent lifestyle, they will not be happy being tied down for too long. Not saying they can't commit- there's just a need for balance. Moon in the ninth are known for their moral compass and certain beliefs they stick too- they are super big on expressing THEIR TRUTH. These individuals cope with uncomfortable emotions with a (hopefully) healthy dose of optimism, humor and warm smile! They make great company on any adventure- just don't expect them to see them tomorrow! The wind is calling them <3
⏳ Moon In Tenth~ This moon placement can give the native a great connection to their purpose (This doesn't have to be work). I see a lot of people with moon in tenth who are stay at home moms! Being a mom is a career y'all, I don't care what they say! They can gain a lot of respect for their nurturing and caring side. The moon is super personal so having it placed in the house of public image can be uncomfortable. They can be known for who they really are. It's possible that they work from home, are apart of a family business, work with your family or their family could've inspired your career in some way. Their place of work can be like home to the native, they can be a nurturing boss, or have a work family. The career can require them to be soft with others, exercise empathy or be nurturing with the people they work with. It is important that they have good boundaries with moon in tenth because the native is known for their emotional sensitivity or timidness. The native is reliable and finds it very important to provide for their loved ones. The type to show their care through actions or silently.
🦚 Moon In Eleventh~ With the moon in the eleventh house, the native can achieve emotional fulfillment by going after their goals and dreams. It is important that they belong to a community or a group of friends- It will bring more comfort to be around like minded people. The native may deal with emotional unrest, unpredictability, and loneliness due to their unique beliefs and mindset. These people are often humanitarians or belong to an organization that helps them express their emotional upsets. There is a need to belong somewhere, so whatever unique interests the individual has should be embraced and accepted so they have an easier time finding their people! Moon in the eleventh can be very innovative, ahead of their time and bring a lot to the table. Just because they are different doesn't mean they are are wrong! These people may find enjoyment in technological advancement, video games, coding, engineering, or anything that is on a progressive movement. These people may find peace in activism as well because it's forward thinking and progressive.
🌌 Moon In Twelfth~ These natives possess a sensitive, dreamy, and spiritual inner world. Many of them are psychic and aware of their impermanence in this lifetime. Moon in twelfth has a hotline straight to source consciousness and a very intimate relationship with the universe. Although this placement comes with many spiritual gifts, it can be a lonely placement for the moon. People can overwhelm the moon in the twelfth native because of their heightened sensitivities. It also can manifest as addict*on struggles because being psychic can be a tough journey. Many people don't understand them or take advantage of their loving nature. Like moon in the eighth house, these people find comfort in the unknown, the afterlife, or the idea of returning to home that isn't physical. For them, home is not something they can can physically obtain, it is somewhere so serene, so beautiful beyond human comprehension. This placement benefits from alone time, good rest, and plenty of vacation. Please make sure that y'all aren't coping with dr*gs, alc*hol, or s*x - this can be an emotionally overwhelming placement so please try to lean into your spirituality if you aren't already <3 Alone time is a must!
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
THANKS SO MUCH!!! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED
🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑
I love hearing y'alls feedback and constructive criticism so please let me know what y'all think in the comments or via DM <3 I hope all of my followers are doing great, thanks so much for supporting me, this has brought me a lot of emotional fulfillment to express my passion for spirituality and astrology. I hope you can take something away from this post to gain a better sense of understanding of yourself. Thanks again so much, Happy Sag Season Kees Kees, Kya <3

Safehouse
Tumblr media
synopsis: the only signs of life in Simon's apartment happen to all be things related to you.
content: Simon "Ghost" Riley x gender neutral reader. Fluff +slight hurt/comfort. Pushing my Soft simon agenda. Use of nicknames Love and Doll. Around 500 words. Eng is not my first language so i'm sorry for any mistakes♡ not completely proofread let me know if there are any annoying mistakes♡
Tumblr media
There are traces of you lingering all over Simon's place. Little sparks of warmth in an otherwise dull and cold apartment. Like the dried roses hanging above his bed. A striking contrast of withered red on a pale white wall. It's the only piece of decoration he has. You gave him a small bouquet on your first date. Although a bit shy and hesitant because would a guy like him even like roses? Flowers in general? He never cared for them before but his heart skips a beat now every time he sees them, be it in nature or the ones above his bed that act as a nontraditional dreamcatcher. Because "they make me dream of you, love" He confessed
Or the stupidly soft and fluffy throw blanket you conveniently "forgot" at his place. The one that's decorated with doodle forms of ghosts and hearts. It's neatly folded next to his pillow and if you catch him cuddling up to it in his sleep, "you're just hallucinating. Go back to bed, doll."
You never asked for it back and any attempts to give it to you resulted in you forgetting it again at his place. Partly because it's just a very fitting blanket and the thought of him using it makes your heart soar but mostly because you've slept under Simon's normal sheets and they are thin, do a horrible job at keeping out the cold and you're pretty sure holes are starting to appear at the seams.
You know his apartment looks the way it does because he doesn't want to get too used to comfort. He doesn't want to dull the edge his job has left him with only to have to sharpen it again once he leaves. So he doesn't admit that his skin is cold, or that the couch is falling apart and that the windows need replacing because he'll leave again in a few months if not sooner anyway. Where there won't be things as thick warm sheets or comfortable living space.
This survival instinct of his is not strong enough to keep him from staying over at your place any chance he gets tho. And although he keeps saying, for reasons you now know, that he doesn't need much, you can see the weight on his shoulders melt off the moment he steps foot into your home. Your home with warm, low lighting and flickering candles carrying the scent of vanilla. Your home with dark oak bookcases stretching out against the walls holding stories from fantasy to non-fiction and the occasional little trinket.
Your home that's utterly and completely you from the color of paint on your walls, the ridiculously large ceramic mugs in the cupboard, to the plants you keep in your windowsill and the scent of your candles. It's you. It's safe.
It's safe enough for him to lower his guard. It's still there of course, it's been so engraved into his very being you're not sure it will ever leave, but it significantly decreased in the way he's not quieting his breaths to tune in to the footsteps in the corridor or the way he's not constantly trying to feel the outline of his concealed weapons through his clothes.
You're glad you can bring him a sense of safety and warmth, all you ever want is for him to be happy. But you do admit you would love to find more traces of him lingering in your home. Even just the thought of seeing his shoes next to yours at your front door everyday makes warmth bloom in your chest.
Perhaps tonight you can finally ask him to move in with you.♡
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading, Angel♡

Cancer Mars
💝 he takes a while to move on & get over things. he’s known for holding grudges due to his great memory.
💝 he values honesty & hates liars. he has strong intuition & he’s very observant.
💝 he has more feminine energy.
💝 he has a hard time dealing with conflict logically & rationally as he’s very emotional. when he’s angry he’ll say things in the heat of the moment which he’ll regret later on. he can be very passive aggressive too. the best way to piss him off during conflict is to stand your ground & not let him guilt trip you, showing him that his emotions don’t effect you.
💝 he’s emotionally intelligent meaning he knows how to persuade/manipulate others into doing what he wants.
💝 his highs & lows can be exhausting & nauseating for him & others.
💝 when he’s attracted to someone he comes off very nurturing (eg buy you chocolate or flowers). if he doesn’t come off as caring then he doesn’t care.
💝 he tends to put a lot of importance into aftercare & not receiving it can straight up ruin the experience for him.
💝 he is sexually passionate with deep & intense needs for emotional safety within a rxship. he’s likely to want sexual contact to reassure himself that he is wanted. although this need to be wanted extends beyond sex & will permeate their whole life. he may try to make himself indispenable to others so that he will never be abandoned. in sexual relationships, he needs to feel he belongs, protected & secure; he will in turn offer a sense of protection & containment to his partner.
💝 he has a habit of projecting his insecurities onto others.
💝 un-evolved cancer energy is self deprecation, victim mentality & still hung up on a toxic ex from ten years ago.
💝 he does not collaborate well with other cancer mars people.
Turn On’s:
💝 he needs plenty of validation & attention.
💝 he wants a sensitive & intuitive partner who can understand his complex emotional landscape. he likes emotional vulnerability & closeness.
💝 he likes slow & romantic build ups with nurturing gestures (soft music, heart-felt convo, home-cooked food, thoughtful gifts, bubble baths, forehead kisses, being held, cuddles)
💝 he will often mother his partner & want mothering himself.
💝 he loves anything to do with loyalty & binding - “i wanna take care of you”, “i want you to be happy” “give it to me”
💝 he likes eye contact (feeling seen, wanted & protected).
💝 breeding fetish (he likes the idea of making a baby).
💝 submission fantasies - he may like it when you’re a little aggressive or disapline him in bed as long as he knows you love him.
💝 known as the sign most attracted to breasts. the breasts/chest are his erogenous zone (stroke his chest, play with his nips) but remember his body is very sensitive so be gentle.
💝 he’s attracted to strong, tall & protective women with big breasts.
💝 he likes nymphomanics (a woman who has abnormally excessive & uncontrollable sexual desire).
💝 he may want it more when he can’t have it meaning he loves teasing & edging.
💝 all water mars love positions where they can see their partners face.
Turn Off’s:
💝 he dislikes his lover being too independent.
💝 he dislikes not being listened to.
Performance:
💝 he is a romantic, protective, soothing & sensual lover in bed. he can spend the whole day in bed with his partner. he loves turning cuddles, foreplay & sex into long sessions that seemingly have no end.
💝 he tends to treat sex as a very emotional/physical act rather than solely physical. sex & love go hand-in-hand for him. he needs an emotional connection to even consider sex with someone.
💝 he enjoys pleasing his partner & will do almost anything to do so.
💝 since he is emotional, he can have an explosive temper & release that anger during sex, making him sometimes very rough in bed.
💝 cancer is a deeply private sign & needs to feel safe before they reveal themself. nothing turns him off faster than a partner who comes on too strong or tries to push him into intimacy before he’s ready. he’s too sensitive & romantic to respond to a blunt sexual appeal. even in a long-term union, he prefers the indirect approach; he rarely comes right out & says he wants sex (all water sign mars may take more time & could be looking to emotionally connect before they sleep with you).

Hello, hello! The Ghostie with the penchant for long rambling walls of text here to give her unwarranted two cents on the current disagreement between the Tubblings and the Crows!
I'm offering my take as a purely unbiased outsider
(Yes, us Ghosties may be married to the Tubblings but when I first joined the Qsmp Fandom I was a Crow and a Crow only, before I died and became a Ghostie. Thus, while I like both qTubbo and qPhil I don't watch either of them often, ergo unbiased :D )
who has no real reason to attempt to villainise or place either character on a pedestal because to put it bluntly, they are not my cubito.
Without further ado I will begin my ramble.
Today's ramble of course comes with the disclaimer that with me not being a qTubbo or qPhil main there may be areas of their character that I'm not aware of since I don't watch every single one of their streams! Feel free to correct me on literally anything you think I've mischaracterized about your main just please be understanding that nothing is done with malicious intent! :)
I'm not attempting to paint either character as a villain in this ramble, I'm just publishing this in hopes to allow each community to understand that neither cubito is perfect and that's okay!
Okay! For anyone missing context; the current disagreement began when Tubblings expressed feeling happy that Chay was able to be a kid around qTubbo as opposed to being serious with qPhil then the Crows reminded the Tubblings that qTubbo is also attributing to Chay's hero complex through him acting as Chay's egg and asking Chay to protect him. Which has caused both sides to instinctively protect their cubito and is causing arguments within their communities.
As a Ghostie who is more than willing to write 1000 words to raise awareness, and is frankly sick of infighting within the QSMP fandom (it's why I left twitter, please don't bring it here 🫠) I figured I'd try to help 'squash the beef' if you will.
Polite discussions about cubito conflict is fine, going for each other's throats over character takes...yeah let's not do that! :D
Firstly, everyone has to recognize that Chayanne has an almost toxic hero complex. He's had it since the beginning of the server and while neither qPhil or qTubbo is doing it on purpose they are BOTH feeding into it!
He has an overwhelming urge to protect others with no regard for his own safety or wellbeing at times. In the beginning it only extended to eggs. As the older sibling he had a sense of responsibility over them, which was cute! But now it's borderline toxic although it's become so normalized as such a core part of Chayanne's character that no one recognizes it's no longer a healthy mindset.
Now Tubblings can make the defense that qTubbo isn't being entirely serious or that he doesn't truly expect Chay to put his life on the line for him but I watched him look Chayanne in the eyes and BLAME HIM FOR NOT PROTECTING 'HIS EGG'.
Even if that was immediately reincarnated qTubbo who was a little fucked up in the head, even if he no longer fully blames him, even if qTubbo was joking at the time, he looked that kid dead in the eyes and told him it was his fault. Tell me again how qTubbo isn't unintentionally feeding his complex?
Yes qTubbo allows Chay a more carefree space away from his overwhelming need to protect his younger sister and a space to be more relaxed.
Yes qTubbo is joking about a lot of things and a lot of the out of pocket shit he says isn't intended to be taken completely seriously.
BUT you cannot fully disagree with the Crows when they say that qTubbo feeds the complex too. BECAUSE HE DOES, JUST NOT ON PURPOSE THE SAME AS qPHIL!
qPhil is so used to his son being the strong warrior that he doesn't realize that that character trait is actively damaging his son's mental state. His attention is divided between Chay and Tallulah and since Tallulah is more open to talking about her issues he often isn't as attentive to Chay.
Is that a bad thing? Yes!
Is it intentional on qPhil's part? No!
Is it something the Crows need to recognize that qPhil does which unintentionally allows his son to continue to struggle with his hero complex? Yes!
qPhil loves his son unconditionally AND qPhil feeds Chayanne's hero complex are two statements that can and do coexist
qTubbo let's Chay be more of a child AND qTubbo feeds Chayanne's hero complex are two statements that can and do coexist
And as long as both the Crows and Tubblings are willing to understand that neither cubito is perfect and THERE'S NO USE FIGHTING OVER PIXELS then we're good!
- Sincerely a Ghostie who just wants to try to bring understanding between the two fandoms by utilizing her rambling skills!
AGAIN, any severe mischaracterization you feel I may have included is unintentional and feel free to correct anything you feel like I'm misconstruing, they're not my main cubitos so there may be somethings that qTubbo or qPhil mains find to be untrue to the source
HOWEVER if you're gonna call me out for mischaracterizing a character simply because I'm bringing up their flaws and you can't accept a character has flaws, kindly fuck right off :D

Hiya, may I request something for Kate bishop.
(Peter could be rs cousin or something.) Reader (who is spiderwoman and dating Kate), Kate and Yelena help Peter Parker (T. Holland) with the villains from the other earth's and as a result green goblin ends up killing aunt May and she seeks out revenge for may and almost kills green goblin but Yelena and kate stop her. (Oh, and Peter is the only one who is forgotten)
no such thing as good grief [K.Bishop]
Tumblr media
pairing: kate bishop x parker!reader
summary: you always knew being a superhero came with a long list of dangers but it turns out you weren't quite ready to deal with someone else suffering for your mistakes.
warnings: major character death; heavy mentions of blood + injuries + grief; a huge serving of angst with a side of hurt/comfort, a dash of humor, and a sprinkle of plot; weird descriptions of fight scenes
wordcount: 3.2k
a/n: i probably should have rewatched no way home for this but shhh. any inconsistencies are just part of this other timeline because i said so and the MCU timeline is incredibly messy anyway. i very clearly got way too attached and wrote way too much but whoops, hope you enjoy <3 [also yes, may is R's mom in this but somewhere along the way, i resorted to just calling her 'may' instead 'mom' because I didn't want it to get too repetitive]
* * * * * * *
Nobody ever said being an Avenger was easy.
Especially now that most members are either dead, retired, off-world, or just simply unreachable. Nobody wanted to address the fact that the safety of planet Earth now rests solely in the hands of a bunch of college students and a Russian ex-assassin.
Of course, there’s still Dr. Strange and his merry band of sorcerers, including Wong, but it seems the only thing that man can successfully protect is his massive ego. It’s harsh, sure, but that doesn’t make it any less true. 
Although, maybe you’re just bitter that Stephen’s soft spot for your cousin ultimately got you tangled in a mess you had no business being in. 
A crack in the multiverse is bad enough but it being caused by one of Stephen's failed spells is even worse.
And of course, Peter's seniority when it comes to being part of a superpowered team means when he calls, you answer. There’s also the fact that he’s family and your mom would absolutely lecture you if you ignored him…again.
You really wanted to sit this one out but there was no way your girlfriend was going to let you. You tried all the tricks you knew to convince her but ultimately, her and Yelena ended up dragging you out of your apartment to help Peter fix his multiversal disaster.
“So, your plan to defeat these villains is to…not defeat them?” You question. “In what universe does that make sense?”
“Don’t be a jerk, y/n/n,” Kate mumbles.
You playfully roll your eyes at the archer’s words, biting back a comment about how rare it is to see her actually attempting to focus on forming a plan. She’s gotten a lot better at not rushing into situations but old habits die hard.
“Actually, it’s May’s plan,” Peter says. “I know it’s unconventional but I think it could work. We’re the good guys, right?”
Yelena shoots you a look but you just shrug in response. Fighting with him will only lead to more problems that you’re not sure you’re qualified to solve. Actually, none of you are qualified for any of this.
Webs, arrows, and strong punches are not going to get you out of this one.
You swallow down your hesitation and give Peter a small nod. “Right. What do you need us to do?”
Step 1, according to your annoying Spider-Cousin, is to pick up a few materials for him while he takes the misplaced villains to Happy’s condo. You don’t love the idea of being an errand girl but you already agreed to help and there’s no way Kate will let you take your words back.
Her loyalty is as admirable as it is annoying. But at least you get to spend time driving around New York with your two favorite people. And by driving you really mean sitting in the backseat with Kate while Yelena complains about how much harder it is to drive a car than a motorcycle.
Step 1 takes about an hour to complete and it’s not until you’re all heading to Happy’s place that your girlfriend decides to question you and your lack of trust in Peter’s plan.
“Since when are you so cynical?” She asks, her arm loosely wrapped around your waist.
“Me?” The question catches you off-guard and you turn your face away from the car window to look at her instead. “I'm not the one shooting arrows through people’s limbs.”
“It’s not like I’m killing people.”
“Neither am I,” you reply with a shrug. “I'm just saying to send them back to their universe.”
“So they can die,” she says, her tone making her statement sound more like a question than anything else.
“Well…yeah.”
It sounds brutal when said out loud but it’s the logical choice. Keeping them in your universe isn’t an option and there’s no telling what kind of damage Peter’s plan will have on those other timelines.
“And you don’t think that’s cruel?”
“Should I?” You look away from Kate’s eyes before you get distracted from the conversation at hand due to the puppy-dog look they’ve been carrying the past few minutes. “Yelena, you wanna help me out here?”
“You’re gonna get the heartless Russian assassin to help you prove your point?” She asks with a chuckle.
“Ex-assasin,” the blonde corrects her. “And I am not heartless. But y/n is right. What is that stupid saying? Something about a circus?”
“Not my circus, not my monkeys.”
“Exactly.”
“Okay, so if you’re so against this plan why did you agree to it?” Kate finally asks the million-dollar question.
The answer is a lot more complicated than one would think and you’re not in the mood to explain why the plan being your mom’s idea means so much to you. So, you take a page out of the archer’s book and reply with a stupid joke instead.
“You think May would have been fine with me letting Peter run around on his own?”
Yelena’s reply is just as witty as yours. “I am only here because someone has to babysit you while y/n babysits Spider-Boy.”
“You guys are jerks.” There are notes of humor in her voice that she tries to wipe away with an overdramatic pout.
You chuckle and lean in to kiss her, ignoring Yelena’s complaints about how annoyingly in love you two are.
The moment is a welcome respite from a chaotic and difficult situation.
A situation that only gets worse with every minute that goes by.
The three of you finally arrive at Happy’s condo and are led inside by your overly chipper cousin. You try to ignore the way the hairs on the back of your neck stand up at the mere sight of the supervillains scattered all around the living room.
You’re probably just being paranoid. That’s what you tell yourself until Peter lets it slip that he’s not the only person watching over the time-scattered villains.
You grab a hold of his arm and lead him away from Kate and Yelena, more for his sake than yours if you’re being honest. “What do you mean my mom is here? Why the hell would you bring her into this mess?
“I didn’t do anything!” He responds. “She wanted to help. You know how she is.”
If you had a nickel every time he used that excuse you’d be as rich as your girlfriend.
“This is different, Pete! It’s not just her bringing us snacks while we fix our web shooters, this is serious.”
“Which is exactly why she should be here. We need all the help we can get to do this. You have no problem with Kate being here, why is May different?”
It takes you a second to be able to reply, your brain not fully computing his audacity to make such a flippant comparison. “Because she’s not a superhero, you dimwit! She’s the only family I have left, I am not letting her get hurt because you convinced her to help us.”
“First of all, ouch. Second of all, relax. She can take care of herself.”
All you can really do is groan since it’s obvious no amount of arguing will get him to change his mind and help you convince May to go home. There’s also the fact that she probably wouldn’t listen to you even if you managed to get Peter on your side.
“Fine. Just tell me what to do so we can wrap up this shitshow.”
You ignore his very obvious sigh of relief and focus on lending the helping hand you promised earlier. Help that makes you ignore your growing unease and leaves you unprepared for the violent turn things take.
You’re not even sure how it happens.
One second you and Kate are arguing about how Sandman’s powers even work while Yelena and May help administer Dr. Ock’s cure and the next you’re watching Green Goblin turn the rest of the misplaced villains against all of you.
Your one and only thought is on getting your mom out of here unscathed but it quickly becomes clear you won’t be able to just swing her to safety. There’s no plan, or even time to think things through, there’s only a tense atmosphere and an inkling that things won’t go well no matter what you do.
Green Goblin’s taunts ring in your ears right as Electro blasts Dr. Ock out the window. Kate shoots you a look you can’t ignore and you hold on to the silent promise that she’ll be okay without you.
You dive out the window without a second thought, barely managing to shed your hoodie and reveal the Spider Suit hidden beneath your clothes. (Peter can keep all his fancy little upgrades, nothing beats the classic suit in your opinion)
You manage to help Dr. Ock before he slams into the ground with equal parts teamwork and a staggering amount of webs.
He assures you he’s fine once you manage to get onto a nearby roof, not so subtly doing his best to get rid of a few webs that are stuck to his clothes. You shoot him an apologetic smile before jumping off the roof and swinging back to the now blacked-out building.
You ignore the swarm of cop cars and news vans that litter the front of the building and impulsively divide to crash through a window into the lobby, figuring it’ll be faster to find May and your team this way.
You jump onto your feet after your literal crash landing only to find Kate and Peter in the middle of fighting Green Goblin. A part of you screams to run and find your mom but then Osborn kicks Kate’s bow out of her hand and your body reacts faster than your mind can even comprehend.
“Hey, asshole!” You shoot a web at his leg and yank him backward. “Get your hands off of her.”
He stumbles but doesn’t fall the way you anticipated. Instead, he turns to look at you, that chilling smirk still plastered on his face. “What is it with you Parkers and your savior complex?”
Your first instinct is to run at him but you catch the archer’s look as she runs to help a badly injured Peter. If it’s a distraction she needs, that’s exactly what you’ll provide.
“It’s part of our charming personality.”
You shrug and shoot at him again, managing to pull his focus toward the barrage of webs you send his way.
You expect to keep him occupied until Peter and Kate catch their breath but instead, May rushes out of the stairway, a bleeding Yelena trailing behind her, and she injects the so-called cure into the back of Osborn’s neck.
The cure doesn’t work. All it does is send the Green Goblin into a fit of rage.
You urge May to run in between Osborn’s taunts directed mainly at you and Peter. She doesn’t listen and you’re too distracted to notice the deadly glider that hovers just outside the window.
By the time Kate warns you it’s too late.
The blast it creates when it crashes in sends you flying onto the ground. All the air gets knocked out of your lungs from the impact but you don’t get time to lay there and recover.
You somehow manage to get back onto your feet right as Osborn sends a bomb flying your way. You just barely manage to web it and throw it to the side before it goes off, sending bits of debris raining down onto all of you.
There’s the distinct sound of Kate’s boots running toward you, Yelena’s Russian curse words, and a part of you that tells you to go check on May. There’s no chance in hell that you’re letting Green Goblin get away though so you swallow down your pain from aching joints and bleeding cuts and run after him.
You arrive outside just in time to watch him throw another bomb that you’re too slow to stop.
The explosion throws you back onto the ground and you groan as you land on a piece of glass. You’re breathless and bleeding and it’s only then that the guilt crashes into you at once.
This time, your attempt to stand is far less balanced and you stumble onto a familiar frame. “Hey, hey, easy. There’s no rush, babe.”
You happily accept Kate’s embrace, the familiarity of her comforting touch soothing some of your pain. “You okay?”
“Yeah, nothing some band-aids and a nap won’t fix.”
Hearing the usual humor in her tone brings you back to reality…which brings your mind back to your mom and the way you so recklessly rushed outside without knowing if she was injured. “How about Peter and May? They okay?”
Your girlfriend’s silence never means anything good and in this context, it makes your heart drop to your stomach in an instant. You’re about to question her again when Yelena’s voice stops you.
“We need to get out of here before the cops arrive…again.”
You push your injured body away from Kate’s, searching for the answer you don’t want to hear. “Kate…”
“I’m sorry.” She avoids your eyes as she responds. “Peter tried but it was already too late. She’s gone, y/n.”
You don’t hear anything she says after that.
It’s strange the way the world slows to a stop around you while your overwhelmed brain tries to process the Earth-shattering information. Strange how a second ago everything seemed to make sense and now you’re left gasping for breath, reaching for answers you know don’t matter.
The how, the why, the what. None of that matters. 
May is dead.
And there’s nothing you could have done to stop it despite the powers, and the gadgets, and the hours of training.
You didn’t even get to say goodbye before she-
“y/n, it’s not your fault.”
“Listen to Kate Bishop, she’s finally right for once.”
“Hey!”
Their attempt to comfort you turns into chaotic bickering but you don’t pay attention to their words. You can’t think about anything except the gaping hole in your chest that had once been full of May’s knowing looks and thoughtful words.
Kate’s right.
It’s not your fault. Or May’s. Or even Peter’s. There’s only one man to blame for this. 
And you’re sure as hell going to make him regret his choice to mess with your family.
“y/n.” Kate’s voice manages to cut through the hate-filled fog that’s starting to cover your mind. “y/n, don’t.”
You don’t listen to her words, you don’t even take in the way she so easily knows what you’re thinking, you just do what you’ve always done: keep moving.
You successfully escape your girlfriend’s embrace and start running. You’re not sure where you’re going or how you’re going to find him but the plan will come later. Right now, you just need to do something before the grief consumes you.
Kate yells after you but there’s no way she’ll be able to chase after you. Especially once you start swinging from building to building.
The hours pass by in between blurs of rain, tears, and the occasional wall you end up crashing into. Your phone blows up with missed calls and countless texts but you don’t care.
The entire world could crash and burn without you for all you care. The light within your own world has already been extinguished. 
Your search ends up leading you right to the Statue of Liberty where you’re not at all surprised to find a chaotic battle going on. Maybe you should have checked your phone to get caught up with the plan but that doesn’t matter.
What does matter is that you’ve finally found what you’ve been looking for. And your mind is dead-set on your objective.
You ignore the rest of the fights going on, including the look of pain and relief on Kate’s face once she sees you swing past her, and hone in on Peter.
You're still bleeding and there's a sharp pain in your leg you can't ignore but your injuries don't matter. All that matters is avenging May.
You land next to Peter without a word, the venom in your eyes saying more than your voice could. You're both fighting for the same thing but you have no doubt he's still pulling his punches.
Something you have no intention of doing.
“Well, well, well, look who decided to join the fun,” Green Goblin taunts. “Too tired of running after your dead parents?”
“Shut your mouth,” you reply as you step toward him. “You don't know what you're talking about.”
That only makes him laugh. “Trust me, pain makes you stronger. You'll see, all I have to do is take away your pretty little girlfriend next and you'll understand.”
There's no hesitation left in your body once you hear those words.
You lunge forward, tackling Osborn to the ground. That stupid smirk doesn't leave his face even while you rain down punches on him.
“Come on! Is that all you can do? What's the point of two Spider-Idiots if one is too weak to fight?”
You know he's only taunting you. Trying to push your buttons and get you to break. Too bad that's exactly what you want to do.
Every time he pushes you back, you kick him back twice as hard. You stumble and get punched in the face enough times to make your ears ring but you don't dare stop.
You don't even think.
You just punch and punch and punch until Osborn’s on the ground, his witty mouth finally silent.
Seeing him like this only serves to remind you of what you've lost, of the pain that's taken hold of your every thought and move. You lift your hand to shoot a web at his forgotten glider when a voice stops you dead in your tracks.
“y/n?”
The mere sound of your name coming out of Kate’s mouth in that desperate tone is enough to make your breath catch in your throat. You already know what she's going to say so you speak up first. “I have to.”
“No, you don't. You've done enough, okay? You can walk away.”
You look down at your hands, at the bloody mess you've left behind, and the tears start falling before you can stop them.
The hand that pulls you up doesn't belong to the archer but it's full of an understanding only Yelena could be capable of. “Go on, Spider-Boy and I got this.”
You nod, too numb and overwhelmed to fully accept the weight of what you've done. Of what you almost did.
“Kate?” You call out as you finally turn around to face her.
“I’m right here.” She greets you with the same soft look and warm smile you fell in love with, nothing but compassion in her gaze.
You all but collapse into her waiting arms, your shoulders slumped as you finally give in to the all-consuming grief that lingers in every breath you take.
The sounds of the chaos around you fades into nothingness.
All you can hear is Kate's soft reassurances and the steady beat of her heart. You don't need anything else than that right now. Despite how strong the urge for revenge had been.
You just need your girlfriend…and a long nap.
Peter watches the scene with a small, albeit sad, smile on his face. There's a weight on his chest that even fixing his mistakes won't take away.
But at least he knows you won't be alone. The spell will make you and everyone else he loves forget about him but at least you'll still have Kate.
It'll be hard but he has no doubt you'll be able to rebuild and find the light inside of yourself that May always believed was there. Flickering underneath all the pain of your past.
Now you and Kate can shine together.
Without him and the chaos he unnecessarily brought into your life.

: When Wednesday stumbles onto her balcony for some fresh air, she finds an unexpected trespasser already there.
Tumblr media
Requested: No
Word count: 1138
Warnings: None
Tumblr media
It wasn't very often that peace rang out amongst the Nevermore grounds. Only at the midst of night could such a rare occasion be found- but even then, the school was never truly silent. With the howling of werewolves on full moons and the dripping of yesterday's storms seems to put the school in a never-ending cycle of insatiable life.
But tonight, Enid had fallen asleep happily listening to her questionable pop music and, even in her sleep, refused to let Wednesday turn it off, often growling or snarling when she got too close. So, with a growing headache, the only sensible option was to take a much-desired breather on the balcony.
Tossing the warm bed covers away, Wednesday slides on some shoes before squeezing herself out of the large, circular window that created a sense of demanding division between her and her flashy roommate.
However, as she went to close the window to stop a draft from forming inside, an unusual sight befriended her eyes at the cost of her self-indulgent mind.
At first, she took in the regular sightings. How the foreground mixed into the background in a haze of darkness. How the forest beyond extended for acres of land- how the tree branches writhe like vile monstrous tendrils of an untamed beast. It was all as normal… but there was one richer detail that hadn't been here the previous times she had been.
A figure… perched and sat contently on the half walls that form a brick railing for safety, ensuring the school couldn't get sued this time round. It- they- sat with a noticeably straightened back, their hands gripping onto the ledge for extra support as they sway lightly. With hair that drapes graciously from their scalp and a certain shine to their skin, it was obvious this was an outcast, just not one Wednesday had met before.
"Excuse me" The sound of Wednesday's monotone voice had you tweaking an ear at her, your head shifting to the side to adjust to the noise.
"You're excused," you grin silently, tapping the spot beside you with a small slap. "I'm joking, come sit with me"
"Why should I?" Wednesday resorted to her distance, feeling safer a good ten feet away from the stranger than right beside them and a huge drop. And no matter how at ease she is with most things dead, she still has a life to fulfil before it's her own time.
"You came out here for some air, right?" A small hum of both confusion and recognition chimes in the air with a sour taste. "So did I. So come and sit with your guest"
"An uninvited guest"
"Well done, would you like a black star?"
Wednesday scoffs under her breath, reframing herself from just pushing you off of the railing altogether and claiming she had no involvement with the tragedy. "This makes you a trespasser, and it's beyond curfew"
"When have you ever cared about curfew, Wednesday?" To this, the smaller girl widens her eyes, figuratively. She's never had an interaction with you until this point, so how did you know her name? "Besides, it's not like I'm going to do anything"
"How can I be so sure"
"If I ought to do something, I would've done it already"
"Sounds like a bad alibi," you find yourself subconsciously rolling your eyes at this, finding her lack of trust exasperating to your mood.
"Just… trust me. We could both use the company" Wednesday lets a small sigh bypass the gateway that is her plush lips as she casually moves over to you, her hands strictly by her side. Although, they do itch to either push or strangle you… there's no certain in-between.
"It's a beautiful night, isn't it?" You begin, drawing the cautious eyes of the ravenette.
"I'd dare to say I agree" You roll your eyes once more, feeling her stubbornness grow strong. You hum.
"What's your favourite part of the view?"
"The dirt," she shortly replies, having you querk an eyebrow. "It holds many secrets"
"Fair enough," you mumble, taking in a deep breath. "I've definitely become more enthralled by the night sky itself. There's just something in the way it gives everything a new sense of distant power"
Wednesday just hums, still glancing at your side profile as you just grin at the landscaping. Your teeth are so white and sharp that they look almost like jagged blades in the faint humming glow of the moon.
"What are you?" Wednesday blurts out, unaware of her podding curiosity.
"I thought it was obvious," you mumble, finally turning your head to see the smaller girl. And this time, Wednesday's eyes actually widen in a distinctively blurred line between shock and confusion.
The frosty light streamed between your razor-sharp teeth that almost looked like fangs. Thick horns sprouted amidst the cracking skin of your forehead as they lean back past your still hair-covered scalp. Your eyes glowed a menacing tangent of orange, but the luminescent silver scales that climb up your neck say otherwise.
"Never seen a dragon before?" You chuckle lightly as Wednesday just continues to stare into your soul stealing eyes.
"I thought dragons were extinct- this makes no sense" You only chuckle more at Wednesday's utterly wrong statement.
"No- we're very much alive and thriving… the school just doesn't accept dragons for our… reckless and carefree behaviour"
"Then why are you on my balcony?"
"I guess I'm just reckless and carefree" you smile, your teeth adorning your plush-plated lips. "I just needed to get away from my brothers, they're all just so loud when they snore"
"Fascinating," Wednesday mumbles unknowingly.
"Our species is so covert right now that it's almost cute someone finds us 'fascinating', Wednesday" You find yourself hiding out a wicked sight, halfway between a smile and a grin playing a twisted game on your appearance.
A brief silence succumbs to the inevitable as you just stare at each other, Wednesday is still cautiously studying your features like a criminal would do to a bank before robbing it of its values. The only sounds that remain present at this moment are the sounds between you both.
It's weird- unusual for a school of such unusually disturbing sound. Never have you ever heard the academy to be so quiet that you could literally hear a pin drop even from the height of this balcony.
"I don't breathe fire- just so you're aware…" You awkwardly chuckle as her eyes trail down to your slightly parted lips, her eyebrow raising above the other.
"What do you breathe then?"
"Take a gander"
"Ice…"
You nod, finding her answer intriguing as not many would've guessed correctly so easily. "You're pretty observant, aren't you, Miss Addams?" Of course you knew her last name. If you knew her first name, then why wouldn't you?
Wednesday just hums, finally looking you in the fierce eyes once again, just in time for the window to creek open behind her.
"Wednesday?" A familiar drowsy voice calls into the midst of the night.
"Enid. What are you doing up?" Wednesday turns her head to see the bubbly roommate she so much 'despises'
"You left the window open…" Enid groans, holding one of her plushies loosely in her right arm. If Wednesday hadn't already known the girl, she could've easily mistaken her for a small child.
Wednesday sighs, turning back to you. However, she's just left with an empty spot where the only sign of your existence was the frosty layer you left upon the bricks you had previously touched.
"Come back inside, it's chilly out here"
Wednesday's skin suddenly pricks an odd shape upon her sleeved arm. Pulling back the material, she struggles to read the markings, but she can just faintly depict a farewell of "bye" almost spelt on her arm.

High lord and the stripper
Helion x reader
You need to make money quickly, so you could travel to the Night court. This situation forced you to take a job as a stripper. You hate it from the bottom of your heart. 
warnings: smut
words: 2687
Tumblr media
Work.. you hated yours. It wasn't something you wanted to do, oh god, no. You had to do it, because you needed money and thanks to this job, you had enough to afford a small apartment and feed yourself. Well.. feed yourself is maybe a strong word. In the past couple of days, you refused yourself a meal, only to save more money. You were saving so you could afford traveling to the Night court, where your last family members currently lived. Although Day court was beautiful, magnificent, you were alone here and that was something you didn't like. No family, no friends.. no one, only you. You were just feeling lonely and because you weren't used to it, you wanted to get to the Night court as fast as possible. That is the only reason you started.. dancing. You always loved to dance and you were good at it, everyone was saying that you were just like your mother. In the end, she taught you everything you knew. You missed her terribly and you also were feeling terrible. If she only knew how you are using her lessons and your talent now.. She would be disappointed, you shook your head and blinked back tears. Now certainly wasn't a time to pity yourself and cry. There will be a lot of time tonight, after work when you will be alone in your apartment. You were nearly finished getting ready, the only thing left to do was to put on some lipstick, when your boss suddenly burst into the room, scanning it with his dark eyes. When he finally saw you, he looked at your clothes, makeup and hair, nodding in approval. "You will do.." not understanding what he meant by that, you raised one eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" you weren't sure, if you wanted to know, but you asked anyway, turning away, so now he was looking at your back. You started putting on red lipstick, while you waited impatiently for his answer. "We have a visitor. Very important one and you will dance before him.. and his friends." It wasn't too surprising. that he wanted you to dance, it was your job, but in one way it was still a surprise.."Wait.. Him and his friends? You mean like a private dance?'' That was new. "Yeah, in a smaller room, in total there will be like.. four people? You have five minutes, I will be waiting for you in the hall." he slammed the door before you could protest. Maybe it was ironic, but you were more scared of dancing almost naked in front of four people than in front of forty. You were used to dancing at the bar and near the bar, there is a barman and security. That is why it is definitely safer than dancing in a smaller private room, where there is no one beside you and your "customers". Another thing is that when you are dancing in front of a lot of people, there are more faces you see, more voices you hear and you find that distracting. You sighed and stood up, there wasn't a point in arguing. You had to endure this job for now. If there was another way how to make this much money quickly, you wouldn't be here.Heck, you wouldn't go near this place in your life, everything there was disgusting, clothes, people, even air filled with sweat of all these people, who were here. While heading to the door, you took the thin robe and put it on. It wasn't covering you so much, as you wanted, but what was the point in covering anyway? After a few minutes, it would be on the floor anyway. But meanwhile, it served as an extra skin, it gave you some courage and feeling of safety. You honestly weren't sure if it even made sense. Finally, you open the door and find your boss waiting for you, as he promised. 
“Come now, they shouldn't be waiting any longer than they already are.” you followed him as he walked to the part of this building, when smaller saloons for private parties were. And during that way, you decided to ask some more questions about these clients. “You know, that this is the first time I am dancing in front of a smaller group, right? And you said that these people are really important, so why dont you send any other dancers? Someone, who is here for a longer time than I am?” he was walking really fast, but after your questions, he stopped and turned at you. “Firstly.. You shouldn't be complaining, you know? I don't like it. Maybe you are really good at this job, but you are not good enough for me to ignore your whining.” He narrowed his eyes. “Secondly, stop calling yourself and other girls “dancers”. You are a stripper, face it. Don't make yourself something more.” You clenched your fists and followed him around the last corridor. Now you were facing probably the nicest doors you saw in this building, which made you realize that your boss was not exaggerating, when he said these people, well mainly one of them, were important. “So.. take off the robe and move your ass.” You obeyed, placing your robe on the chair that was standing near a door and you also quickly fixed your clothes, trying to stretch the fabric, so it would cover you more. Unfortunately, it didn't have the effect you'd like. You were wearing a gold sexy costume, there wasn't any way to call it nicer. Calling it a costume was actually really nice, since it was basically only a  bra and panties.. You inhaled deeply and exhaled, before opening the door and stepping in the room. The walls were painted in red, the lighting was softer so you couldn't see the faces of these men clearly and you were thankful for it. You made your way in the middle of the room, there was a smaller podium to which a pole was attached. That's where you were supposed to dance during your performance. You knew that people weren't here for a chat, so that's why you didn't even bother to say something to them. Music started to play immediately after you stepped on the podium, so you started dancing right away. Time dragged annoyingly slowly, as if he enjoyed torturing you. You were doing anything to distract yourself from the intense feeling of someone watching you. But someone's gaze felt more intense or maybe longing is a better word, and that made you shiver slightly. You cursed your curiosity in your head. You needed to know who was responsible for this. As another song began, you turned your head, so now you were facing them. Looking at males before you. Still dancing, you moved your eyes from one to another, trying not to look nervous. And then, your eyes finally connected with this handsome male. He had a darker skin, long brown hair and his eyes were gold, almost shining like a Sun. There was a small smirk on his lips, when he saw you looking at him curiously. You couldn't help yourself, this was probably the sexiest man you have ever met. Stay professional, you reminded yourself, turning away from him, as if nothing had happened. You didn't look at him for the rest of your performance, although you wanted it really badly and he wasn't making this easier for you, not bothering to hide his scent, you could smell that you were doing a good job. It was embarrassing for a bit, because you knew he wasn't the only one here and the chance that all his friends have no sense of smell is very small. But now, you were finally free, the song has ended and you hurriedly left the room.
Your boss was waiting for you in the hall, his arms crossed. “Well? How did it go?” you grabbed your robe and put it on. “Perfectly” you replied with one word, making your way past him to the room where you were preparing before, slamming the door after you. You were breathing quickly, not sure why you were reacting this way. Nothing bad happened. Actually, it was tolerable. They weren't trying to touch you, they weren't making any slimy comments on your body.. Yeah, it was good. So why were you feeling like this? Nervous more than ever. After a few minutes, you managed to calm yourself, right on time, because your boss bursted to the room once again. “Oh my girl, you might even become my favorite!” he took your confused look on your face as an invitation to continue “When I walked in, they looked really happy. Especially the High lord. He actually wants a private lap dance, only for himself from you.” After hearing this, your heart skipped a beat and it wasn't because you never did a lap dance. That was the last thing that was bothering you now. “The.. The High lord??” What High lord? There was a High lord?” The panic was obvious in your voice and your boss started laughing. “Thanks to the Cauldron, I didn't tell you about this before..” he smiled at you, showing you his yellow teeth. “I knew you would be nervous and wouldn't want to go in there..” he shook his head, still smiling. You were ready to kill him, ready to bury his body all by yourself and run to the next court, before someone would notice he was missing, not that someone would actually be sad because of this death. The only thing stopping you from doing it was what he said next “You know, high lord was already here a few times. But I never saw him interested so much, like he is in you.. You are the first girl he asked for a lap dance and offered you pretty money..” ashamed you were thinking about it, you looked down on the floor. “How much?” your boss chuckled. “Three times more than you earn here in a month” you knew that High lord was probably really rich, but this caught you off guard. This was your chance, your ticket from this place. It was more than enough for you to quit and leave for the Night court tomorrow. You compared all the pros and cons in your head, before nodding slowly. “Fine, tell him I will come in a few minutes.”
After you freshen up, you find yourself walking down the hall once again. The only positive thing was that this time was hopefully the last time. You stepped into the room more confidently than the last time, you wanted to make a better impression, than before, at the end, you were supposed to give a lap dance to the High lord. You couldn't look frightened and you didn't want to. This time, you weren't avoiding his eyes, you looked at him with curiosity which he returned. “High lord..” you greeted him, while walking to him slowly. “I knew you could talk. My friends thought that you lost your tongue when you ignored us earlier” you felt heat coming to your cheeks. “Pardon me, but you are probably the first customers who were expecting for me to talk” you shrugged, now standing right before him. He was sitting there sprawled out, only now did you notice how big and ripped he really was. Maybe it should be the other way around. You should pay him, so you could dance for him. “That's a pity, you have a really beautiful voice” you chuckled a little, not believing that he truly meant those words. “If you don't believe me, fine. But I am telling the truth..” his voice was smooth, making you believe him.You swallow hard, gesturing on his lap. “I believe I should begin” to this time you were ignoring this music, but now it was reminding you, what are you here for. He patted his thigh “I believe you should.” You climbed on his lap, which was surprisingly quite comfortable. You put one hand on his shoulder and the other to his chest. Feeling the heat coming from his body, you wanted to press yourself against him and never leave again. As if reading your mind, his large hands found your back and pulled you closer to his body. Your eyes connected once again, not leaving when you started to move. Maybe you have never done this before, so your movements were not perfect, but he was still clearly enjoying himself. You felt how hard he was and saw how his eyes darkened with desire. His one hand traveled from your back on your thighs, which he squeezed strongly, but it didn't hurt you. The result was the opposite, you felt wetness forming between your legs. “Fuck, you are perfect..” he said hoarsely. When your hands started to stroke his chest, it wasn't because of money. At this point you were forgetting that you were getting paid for this. You just wanted more. His thumb started to draw circles on your thighs, which gave you goosebumps. His other hand left your back and traveled to your shoulders, he moved your hair and now he had a perfect view on your neck. He ran his fingers over it with ease, you wondered how many times had he already done something like this, because it was very effective. You moaned with pleasure, which he took as an invitation. He attacked your neck with his lips, firstly he was kissing you softly and after a while, he started to use his teeths. He was biting thin skin on your neck, exploring your body with his hands and dragging on moan after another from you. You shouldn't be doing this, certainly not here and not with him. He was High lord and you were only a stripper, who was giving him dance. But it felt so right. It was really hard, but you managed to pull away. You quickly stood up and took a few steps away from him.
“I.. I.. am sorry. This was unprofessional. I don't know what got into me. ” You said with difficulty and still trying to collect your thoughts, so you could start thinking more clearly. “Don't be, my sunshine.” he stood up and walked towards you. He used his thumb to lift your chin. “I should have tamed myself too.. Honestly, this isn't how I imagined our meeting.” he sighed and rubbed his beautiful face. “It is not?” you asked not sure how he meant that. Others would be probably more than happy that they not only got lap dance, but also something more from this. But he didn't look happy at all. This made you wonder if you did something wrong. Maybe it was because of your work? He still was High lord and you were stripper. What were you thinking? You should never have allowed that. Now he was ashamed and you also were not happy anymore. “It's not as you probably think now.” he spoke to you softly. “I did invite you to dance for me, but it was supposed to be only an excuse. I wanted to talk to you and was worried I wouldn't find you anywhere after this.” he took your hands into his, bringing them to his lips and kissing them softly. You watched you carefully with slightly open lips. You wished that your lips would be next thing he would be kissing, but instead, he continued talking. “I know you feel this. This need for me. And I feel the same way about you.” You didn't deny it, but you didn't confirm it either. None of you were stupid. There was only one logical explanation for your bodies to react like this. And when you admitted it, you felt it. The bond forming between you two and suddenly, you loved this job.

The IWW is a union for all workers. It only makes sense that a union that advocates for the abolition of the wage system would blaze a path different from other unions. Over the decades, that path has sometimes been rough, but it’s made us what we are today.
Here are 8 things you probably didn’t know about that separate the IWW from other unions in the US.
1) IWW membership is not just a part of holding a certain job.
For lots of folks these days, the experience of joining a union comes from accepting a unionized job. Some of these unions have built strong communities among coworkers, some not as much. When people leave those jobs, they leave the union too. 
For IWW members, though, union membership is part of a commitment to our social vision. In this vision for a better future, labor is organized for the common good rather than for profit.
Being an IWW member also means connecting with a community that is united by our common struggle, outlook and tactics. We help one another learn how to organize for power on the job. We couch-surf for free with other members when we travel. We donate when one of our own is gravely sick or injured. We pay our respects to those who came before us, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our union.
2) The IWW helped set the trend of organizing in fast food.
During the early 2000s, the IWW had campaigns to organize Starbucks and Jimmy Johns.  Although these campaigns were not successful in terms of unionizing, the IWW gained very valuable lessons and experience.
Using some of those lessons, the workers at the Burgerville chain of restaurants, local to Oregon, organized with the IWW starting in 2015. Workers at Burgerville used tried-and-true direct action and solidarity union approaches to improve conditions drastically over the course of 7+ years and form the Burgerville Workers Union. The Portland-based BVWU is winning gains and looking forward to helping empower workers at Burgerville locations outside their area to get organized and united too.
Although workers at many other fast food chains have recently organized and won National Labor Relations Board ratification votes, notably Starbucks workers, none has forced their company to the NLRB bargaining table quite yet as of this writing. Many IWW members are eagerly looking forward to welcoming more fast food workers into organized labor.
3) The IWW regards the police as traitors to our class.
The institution of policing has a long history discussed in Our Enemies in Blue by Kristin Williams. Are they workers just like the rest of us? The IWW does not see it this way.  Even if there are some alright people out there working as police officers, the massive historical inertia of policing as an institution that enforces class and race divisions pushes it into alignment with the interests of the exploiting class.
As police and their proponents sometimes remind us, they don’t make the laws, they just enforce them. Those making the laws are, of course, our bosses, their investors, and others beholden to them.
With laws like these, the work of “law enforcement” means violently enforcing dispossession. Rather than being a “thin blue line between civilization and chaos,” as some imagine, the police are better thought of as the thin blue line between workers and the wealth we produce.
Our corporate media engages in constant propaganda efforts, often under the pretense of entertainment, to get workers to sympathize with the police and portray them as competent guardians of public safety. However, police do not really solve as much crime in real life as they do on TV shows.
Policing and prison both masquerade as instruments of the common good, but their oppressive nature is well-known to those of us who’ve experienced their violence personally.  With all this in mind, the IWW formally and concretely supports the abolition of police and prison.  To this end…
4) The IWW supports strikes by people in prison, and has an active membership inside US prisons.
Amid an increasing trend of prison strikes, IWW members founded the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC) in 2014. It still exists today, and has provided outside support for two national prisoner strikes as well as countless regional and single-facility strikes.
US prison slave-labor is increasingly being used to undermine wages globally for non-imprisoned workers. Jobs that were once outsourced to sweatshops in other countries are now being insourced to prisons where wages can be even closer to nothing. In prison, workers can also be controlled by throwing “insubordinate” ones in solitary confinement, rather than merely firing them.
As the corporate state invests more deeply in prison slave-labor, even while mass incarceration faces increasing public scrutiny, IWOC is positioned to play an essential role in helping the most exploited organize for justice.
5) The IWW is also one of the only unions that organizes workers in the sex industry, including the “underground” sex-trade.
A core IWW principle is that all workers can and should benefit from collective organizing. This includes those who work in the commercial sex industry, either above or below ground. Just as nobody is better positioned to enact positive change in (say) the restaurant industry than restaurant workers, the same is true for the sex industry.
Many sex workers already self-organize for mutual safety.  It’s important for us to help people organize even when their line of work is illegal.  Keeping industries illegal is just one more way that bosses and their state seek to keep workers divided.  We won’t fall for it.  We hope that someday, a revolutionary union of sex workers will help abolish capitalism and de-commodify sex along with everything else.
6) The IWW has no professional or paid organizers. Our members are our organizers.
For all of living memory, it has been common practice for unions to employ workers as professional organizers to unionize other workers. The IWW does things differently, and some might say more traditionally. 
Before the legal institutionalization of unions in the US, the common practice was for every union member to take part in organizing. Nowadays that’s not as much the case. Why organize when they’re paying someone else to do that, right? One overall effect of this change has been for unions to be viewed as more like other social service organizations than working-class fighting formations.
In the view of IWW members, having “organizer” be a paid job alienates average workers from the role we must play in organizing. The Organizing Department handles logistics over wide geography. Our External Organizers program helps motivate and advise those who come to us seeking organizing assistance. Our organizer training program is superb and open to all workers. All this is accomplished with no more than determination, commitment and some very modest stipends for trainers.
7) Tom Morello and Noam Chomsky publicly support the IWW.
Tumblr media
Tom Morello released a music video entitled “Hold the Line: Union Strong Edit” in 2021. Tom Morello has played many times at strikes and other members of Rage Against the Machine such as Zack de la Rocha are vocal about their support for international working-class solidarity.  
Nevertheless, it seems there are always people who associate Rage Against the Machine with being “cool,” but have no idea about their not-at-all-hidden politics.  Famously, when austerity hawk Paul Ryan became a candidate for Vice President in 2012 and cited Rage Against the Machine as his favorite band, Tom publicly replied in a now-famous Rolling Stone piece,“Paul Ryan is the embodiment of the machine our music rages against.”
10 years later, and it seems the number of people who know about Rage Against the Machine but not their explicit anti-capitalist politics is as high as ever.
Tumblr media
Tom Morello and some friends also wrote the new Netflix original movie Metal Lords.
Noam Chomsky, for his part, is pretty much the predominant public intellectual in the US.  Along with becoming one of the most respected professors in linguistics, Noam Chomsky also penned the hit non-fiction book Manufacturing Consent, which was also made into a documentary film, analyzing the US corporate media as propaganda.
Besides revolutionizing the field of linguistics and being one of the most prominent public critics of US imperialism from inside the US, Noam Chomsky has also won enough awards to sink a small boat and authored well over 100 books and articles from the 1950s to today.
Noam Chomsky is also probably the best left-wing star of YouTube despite not being a YouTuber.  People have taken it upon themselves to make Chomsky channels for him, and videos featuring him regularly rack up views into the seven figures.  Here’s Rage Against the Machine’s lead singer, Zack de la Rocha, interviewing professor Chomsky about NAFTA.
8) The IWW does not participate in electoral politics.
IWW members do not see being part of a political party machine as a proper role for a union. Political parties can and do sell workers out, but they also pursue policies that workers are divided on. Some IWW members still vote and even volunteer or work on political campaigns, but it is understood that it is not the role of the IWW to take sides in a political system that is rigged in favor of our exploiters.
Throughout history, change happens first economically, then politically.  Supposedly favorable labor laws do not organize workers. Only fellow workers can do that.  In reality, nearly all labor policies are meant to achieve what is termed “Labor Peace.”  Labor Peace means work no longer being interrupted by upset workers.  In other words, Labor Peace does not mean peace for workers, it means peace for bosses.  The fact that policies aimed at securing Labor Peace involve concessions to workers is a result of organizing.  Not only does government policy aim at Labor Peace, so do many union contracts.  This is the purpose of “no-strike” and other “management’s rights” clauses in such contracts.
It’s natural for us, as workers, to want a better deal.  However, we can pursue gains today without giving up the goal of a fully democratic, worker-run economy tomorrow.  We won’t achieve that lofty goal by making political deals or passing new laws.  We can only achieve it by organizing where we are exploited and acting directly to take power back from our exploiters.
The governments we have are designed to grant us “political freedoms” while restricting access to the wealth that our labor produces.  As workers unite and reorganize the economy to abolish scarcity, more fair, free and equal political systems will also arise to settle disputes and look after the public interest.
If you are interested in organizing at work and working toward the abolition of the wage system, contact the IWW today.

How Platonic/Familial Yandere Overwatch characters react to you wanting/having a significant other
Howdy! In the wake of my switch not having enough storage to play Overwatch anymore, I’ve finally had the inspiration to write about it!
I definitely intend to write this scenario with other characters, these are just all the ones that I had immediate ideas for, send in an ask if you have a specific character you want in the next one!
As always, (but hopefully not for too much longer 🤞) I have no real academic or professional teaching in writing, so all criticism is welcomed
(Also just a side note for the familial bits - it can be taken as both biological or adopted)
How you enjoy reading!
Tumblr media
YanDad!Soldier:76
Nah, not happening.
It's not that he wants to restrict your relationships with people outside of Overwatch, buuut...
If you ever want to bring someone home, he'll greet them warmly with a subtle demonstration of his military experience.
Like straight-up cleaning/putting together his pulse rifle or sharpening his combat knife or, if he can rope another member of the family into it, literally discussing violent battle plans as your potential partner walks in.
If someone is either oblivious enough to not notice or stupid enough to think they can survive your dad's threats, he's prepared to get his hands dirty.
He can and will hunt people down and very directly tell them to fuck off if they want to keep their legs if he doesn't consider them worthy of you.
(Hint: He doesn't think anyone's worthy of you)
The truth is, at the start, he might be a little more receptive to the idea but it won’t last
Even if your partner is the most perfect shining star of a lover ever to exist, he will find or concoct some misdeed and convince himself that they must be eliminated
In short; enjoy it while you can, it’s not gonna last as long as he has something to say about it
“Nah. Tell them you’re breaking up or I will. I’m not letting this scum around my child.”
Tumblr media
YanDad!Lucio
He’s surprisingly okay with it!
All he ever wants is for his kiddo to be happy, and if this person makes you happy, then they’re good in his book!
That’s not to say that he won’t be… cautious, though
Can you blame him? This world is full of fucked up things and all he wants is to protect you from those
The idea of his baby being abused or manipulated hurts him deeply, so like a good father he… checks in on you
You went to a cafe? He’s sitting in the corner, wearing a hoodie to hide his face as he glances at you every few seconds
You’re going out to a club or concert? Aw, damn, one of the acts for the night had to call out sick, good thing THE Lucio was in town and willing to do a set for them
You’re going on a peaceful walk through nature? He just happened to be doing a little wildlife watching himself!
He won’t interfere with your dates, if he can help it you won’t even know about his presence most of the time, but he’s always got an eye and ear out for the safety of his kid
“Ooh, h-hey there kid! You look like you’re having fun, yeah? Yeah…” strong side eye to your date all the while
You’ll likely be able to have a pretty fulfilling relationship, even with your helicopter dad, since unless your partner is outright abusive he can keep his mouth shut
Unlike…
YanBro!Lucio
As a brother figure, Lucio’s protectiveness becomes almost possessive
He always wants to monopolise your time and attention, although it’s unintentional
He just cares about you soo soo much!!
To YanBro!Lucio, time spent with you is as valuable as omnium, and even more precious
He gets irritated at the thought of anyone else taking away your time with him, but he won’t show it
He really, really wants you to think he’s cool and chill despite his obsession, so he keeps the worst of his dark feelings under lock and key
But the same doesn’t go for those that would take you away
He’s quite a traditional yandere, in this sense
He’s not afraid to beat up or even kill whatever punk thought they could date HIS sibling
And he’s not shy about it, either!
He won’t tell you about his actions upfront, and if you come to him for comfort when another partner leaves you, he won’t mention his involvement
But if you ever ask him if he had a hand in it, he won’t deny it at all
“Yeah, I took out trash, what’s wrong with that? They didn’t deserve you, sunshine, you oughta know your worth by now!”
Tumblr media
YanSis!D.VA
Oh yeah she’s totally cool with it!
Sike
She could not be more upset if she tried
Why do you have to go out and date people when you can stay in and play games with her??
She genuinely does not understand why you’re choosing others over her, and she can get a little petulant over it
And by a little I mean ‘actually throwing tantrums/blocking the door so you can’t leave to go on your date/crocodile tears about how abandoned she feels’
To be fair, this is how she always is when you try to leave the base without her, but she goes the whole nine yards when there’s another person involved
She just wants to be the number one most important person in your life at all times! Is that so much to ask?
And it doesn’t have to be positive attention from you to keep her happy, she’ll tear into your looks, insecurities and deepest secrets that you’ve confided to keep you where you belong; by her side in the family
And don’t think you can just slip past her, she’s definitely buffer than the game makes her out to be and will be willing to use force if push comes to shove
While the others are focused on the significant other, YanSis!D.VA is all about you, you, you.
If this is a group yandere situation (which tbh I always picture it to be) it can almost be a nice balance
The others go off and deal with intruding party, while she stays home and makes sure you’ll regret ever even thinking of dating someone
“Listen, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. The fact is, your little date’s already dead. So go back to your room and get out of those tacky clothes, and I’ll bring us some energy drinks, mmkay?”
YanBestie!D.VA
Somehow even less okay with it than her sisterly counterpart, if you can imagine
Buuut… she’s a little nicer to you in the long run of it all
Her mindset is more like, I did all this work to get to the number one spot in their life, and some nobody is trying to overtake me?
It brings out more of her competitive side, and since she can’t control you as much as YanSis!D.VA can, she starts taking every comment and action from your partner as a challenge
“Ohh, you went to the arcade together? Did you see who had all the top scores?”
“Oh you took them to a fast food restaurant? Huh, I would have taken them to their actual favourite, and I definitely wouldn’t have made them pay.”
“You bought them a plushie? Aww! You know, they have an entire bed’s worth of plushies that I’ve gotten them over the years.”
It goes on like this for weeks, her trying to convince they’re not good enough, peppered with raising herself up and reminding everyone included that she’s your bestie
No one else gets to have a higher place in your heart
Eventually, she’ll get tired of fighting with you over some extra and she’ll remove them from your life by force
While she’s not above outright killing them, there’s other routes she can go down first, like accusing them of a crime to get them locked up
She’s a valuable military asset and an immensely popular public figure; who are the people gonna believe?
Unlike YanBro!Lucio, she doesn’t accept you crying over the loss, and she’ll even twist things to make you feel like it was your fault
“You know, I was dropping hints for aaages that you shouldn’t have been with them, maybe if you paid more attention to me you could’ve walked away earlier and none of this would’ve happened!”
Tumblr media
YanMama!Ashe
Of course you can go on dates, honey! But only as long as BOB can keep an eye on you!
You know that bit in The Lion King where Simba’s mother makes Zazu go with them all the time? Yeah that’s her but with you and BOB
Except it’s much, much harder to escape BOB
Ashe honestly thinks she’s being pretty open and nice about it, letting you date people at all was something she had to take a LOT of time to come to terms with
Your silent chaperone tries his best to not make you uncomfortable, but he can’t exactly hide his massive stature, so whoever you date is just gonna have to be chill with him forever
And by forever, I mean FOREVER - you could be a whole married adult and YanMama!Ashe would still have him checking on you every time you left the house together
Internally, she’ll always be quite conflicted about letting you go around with random partners
She’ll do a lot of wistfully gazing out the window, dramatically sighing as she awaits her child’s return
I honestly picture her a bit hopeless outside of violence and business dealings, and she just doesn’t know how to express the deep sorrow in her heart without making you hate her
She get almost weirdly happy if your partner does something cruel to you, it gives her an excuse to take out some pent-up anger on a nobody
That’s not to say she won’t comfort you; there’ll be lots snuggles and forehead kisses as she reminds you that she’ll always be here for you
She might be crying more than you over the idea of you being hurt
“Don’t worry about a thing, darling! Me and BOB are gonna have this all sorted out, you just sit pretty for us, alright?”
—//—
Thanks for reading!

Hello. I hope I won't bother you too much with my request. Can I ask fluff imagine for Mori, Fukuzawa, Fyodor (separately) and their fem!s/o, which they accidentally injured during a strong and heated quarrel? How would they try to make amends? Happy ending, please.
a/n: sorry this took so long! Idk how to fluff this so here's an hurt to comfort thingy if that makes sense? :') I don't usually write for Fyodor so he might be ooc... I hope it's not too far off, though HAHA tagging: @stygianoir, @irethepotato
warning: some unhealthy things here and there, I think?
accidentally hurting their s/o during an argument
featuring: Mori, Fukuzawa, Fyodor x F!Reader
Mori Ougai
In the Port Mafia, disobeying orders can lead to severe punishment. That was what lurked in Mori's mind when he confronted you.
Of course, in this context you were not a subordinate and he was not your superior. You were equals and he did his best to treat you like one. He was so used to having control that in times like this, it was especially difficult for him to keep his cool.
It was clear you were not backing down no matter how logical and clear his rebuttals were. That's fine... usually. His patience must have been thin tonight as his scalpel suddenly grazed your face.
It took the both of you by surprise. It's never happened before, and the flurry of questions and emotions in you had come out in the form of hot tears.
"W-wait, darling I'm sorry-"
You ran out of the room before he could stop you. It's not that he was too stunned to move, it was just he knew exactly where you'd run to.
He walked up to your bathroom door and knocked on it, but there was no answer. The sound of the running faucet water and your sobs might have muffled it, so he continued to knock on it until you grunted in reply.
"...let me help you with that. Please."
From what he remembered, the the cut was a bit deeper than a mere scratch. It won't do to leave it improperly treated - well, more the impact of his actions than the actual wound - or it may leave a scar that will never heal.
Fortunately, you finally opened the door to him. Your beautiful face was covered in tears and tap water with some blood still dripping down. The moment you came out, he went in and grabbed a first aid kit.
He wordlessly treated the area. You said nothing as well. But the tension between you two seemed to go down just by a fraction. The gentleness of which he took care of you must have been the reason.
Once he was done, he grabbed your hand and cupped it on his own cheek. "Forgive me, Y/N. You can slap or stab my own if you wish."
The strange offer made you laugh. "There's no need for that. You're always so dramatic."
After a moment of bewilderment, Mori smiled in relief. He was worried that it would be difficult to win you back.
"But you can't go unpunished. Hmm. Maybe take some time off and take me somewhere?"
His usual teasing smile came back. "If that's what will make you happy, then consider it done."
Fukuzawa Yukichi
Arguments with Fukuzawa, although are rare, usually tend to get heated quickly. You wouldn't even have made it to the arguing stage if the matter wasn't serious.
It was even quicker whenever it came to you risking your safety. It just triggers his fears to fly out in the form of anger.
"What were you thinking, Y/N?!"
Everything you said somehow didn't ease him at all. The justifications just didn't sit right with him, or the way you seemed to not listen to anything he was saying exasperated him further.
Hurting or threatening others generally speaking is no longer an option for him. Even in his anger he tried to control himself to the best of his ability; what led him to grab your wrist and almost break it he would never know.
It was your sharp cry that snapped him out of it. The look of fear that his targets once showed him moments before their death now on your face - he did the unthinkable and now his core was shaken.
He swiftly but gently pulls you into a tight hug as you sobbed into his chest. Regret had now threatened to squeeze his heart until it died.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry-"
Whispered apologies and reassurances of love almost turned into tears. Had you not softly grasped his back, he might have thought he had lost you right there and then.
"I didn't mean to hurt you, Y/N. I didn't. How could I-"
Slowly your bodies slumped down to the ground. His body was wrapped around yours tightly as he sobbed in the crook of your neck.
It ended up as you comforting him instead. While you were hurt (literally and figuratively) from the near-twisting of your wrist, it didn't bother you as much as it did him. Perhaps it was from you being able to understand his automatic reaction despite the initial shock.
It saddened you more that he was afraid he'd gone back to his old ways. After all you've been through together, you'd know more than anyone he had changed for the better for good.
You then started to stroke his head. It was slow, gentle, and comforting; it was like lovingly stroking a cat who had just been out in the rain.
After a while he lifted his head and your hand fell down to his cheek. You stared into his red, watery eyes. It felt inappropriate but you suddenly chuckled. He stared at you in astonishment and confusion.
"S-sorry it's just... you remind me so much of the stray cat we fed the other day."
Upon processing your words, his expression softened and he kissed your forehead. "Thank you for being so kind. You ended up being the one taking care of me."
"It's okay. I'm sorry I upset you that much. But I just love you so much I can't help myself and..."
"I love you so much, Y/N. And I promise you it won't happen again- I don't know what I'll do if you leave my life. So please, be careful next time."
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Now here's someone who is very much capable of hurting and enjoying hurting others. His sadistic tendencies somewhat extend to even those he cares about.
There is a certain limit to how much he'd tease and test you. He needed to know how far you were willing to go for him, after all, and so far he's glad to know it's much more than he expected.
He's not the type to be openly affectionate nor stone cold with you. The signals are always mixed with him, but the one thing is crystal clear is his boundaries (specifically when it comes to his schemes). He never tells you about it, not even an inkling, and it annoys you how you're only left to guess if something terrible is going to happen to him until it actually does.
You arguing for it was out of love for him. Both of you understood that. But Fyodor isn't exactly used to yielding to anyone and his frustration at that must have ticked something in him.
His physique isn't strong at all - in fact, one would fear he'd collapse any moment - but the sting of the slap on your face was more painful than any other injury you've sustained in your life.
There were no tears. But the way you stared at him, dumbfounded and frightened, and how slowly you tried to back away had surfaced an unacknowledged but very great fear he had been burying all this time.
"Y/N, don't go."
His voice was strangely soft and sincere; it almost sounded child-like.
You turned around to see his begging face - one you'd never thought you'd see - and the way he just looked so vulnerable made you run back to him.
"I'm sorry, Y/N."
His cold, bony hand reached out to yours and squeezed it gently, but he said and did nothing. How peculiarly timid he was all of a sudden; he couldn't even look at you in the eyes.
"It's all for you. All of it, for you. So please trust me."
A voice in your head told you it was a farce - that whatever you saw right now was another one of his shrewd acts- but another, louder voice told you it was a genuine expression of love on his part.
"...can I really, after this?"
His pale lips kissed your hand. "Of course. The same way I trust you no matter how risky you are to all operations."
You scoffed at him. Risky? You? Since when?
He then smiled at your reaction. You didn't have to say a word for him to know you had already returned to him.
"Don't be offended, dear. That's simply the truth."
"You're the worst."
Not much happened after that. It passed the lips of no one either. But you did notice that he became a little bit more physically affectionate that night - not that you mentioned it outright to him, of course.

How would the Riddlers be with an S/O who has cartoon physics powers?
A/N: Ohohohoho hell yeah!!! As an animation nerd there's nothing I love more than wacky ass cartoon physics! This would probably be one of my powers not even gonna lie
Riddlers with A Reader That Possesses Cartoon Physics Powers
Tumblr media
Arkhamverse Riddler:
- Oh please, you're insulting him for thinking he would even believe for a moment that you– 
- Wait, wait you just painted that tunnel! 
- Yet when he went up to it Ed ended up hitting a wall…whereas you went through it…
- Why...how does he hear a train??
- Edward pinches his nose. Just how…it didn't make sense…
- Yet, he also lived in a world of meta humans, aliens, and gods...maybe he shouldn't be so surprised. 
- Once the initial shock is over, he's definitely going to use your cartoon physics to his full advantage. 
- Especially your ability to patch him up. 
Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:
- He rolls his eyes at first. 
- It's a really cute idea in theory…
- Although when he saw you balancing yourself on a ledge…
- Only to continue to balance on thin air. 
- You scared the living daylights out of him. 
- It takes a while for him to get used to it, but it still keeps him on edge. 
- He’s glad you’re able to protect yourself to some degrees
- But he would appreciate it if you wouldn’t raise his blood pressure for unnecessary reasons. 
Gotham Riddler:
- Oh please..
- Listen a lot of weird things have happened in Gotham...but there's no way…
- Are...are you walking on thin air after walking off the roof? 
- How? How? Omg please don't look down–AH 
- As interesting as this development is, his stress levels for your safety goes up to 11. 
- Just because you have a higher chance of coming out of situations unscathed…
- Doesn't mean he won't worry.
- He will also be adamant that no one else finds out about these abilities of yours. 
- He can think of a handful of people who would love to take advantage of it.
BTAS Riddler: 
- Cartoon physics, you say?
- Like going through painted black holes?
- Being flattened but coming out unscathed? 
- Yep, all that and more. 
- He's intrigued from the start 
- When you show him all the basics; teleporting black holes, painting tunnels, walking on air, plugging guns the usual suspects.
- He's in awe, you…you're amazing!
- Eddie is super impressed and feels even luckier to have you on his side.
- You're as strong as Batman! 
- He feels so lucky to have you
- And he's relieved you have a way to defend yourself. 
- It is Gotham after all. 
Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:
- He's going to be highly skeptical at first. 
- So he will make you prove him wrong.
- What do you mean you don't want to? You got too!
- He won't leave you alone unless you walk on clouds without falling down, if you can go through painted walls or if you can straighten out a flattened limb!
- He will preemptively shoot a gun at you, of course expecting you to plug the barrel with your finger. 
- When you do and the barrel inevitably explodes on itself. You wipe away the gun powder with no hesitation. 
- Meanwhile Ed is speechless (for once)
- But he's stupid excited now.
- He is going to take full advantage of this. 
Twojar Riddler:
- He chuckles begrudgingly, you and your extremely imaginative ideas…
- That is until he saw your physics save your life in real time. 
- You two were out on a date and you went to cross the street. 
- Edward had a heart attack when that car struck you 
- Yet your body just contoured to the car's silhouette…
- It was slightly unnerving to see but…you were alive somehow! 
- You were pretty embarrassed that that was how he saw your physics in action. 
- At first he was in disbelief but now he's grateful for them, if they are a means to keep you safe in Gotham. 
- Also fully expect him to reuse those teleporting black holes when he needs a quick get away. 
Gotham City Sirens Riddler:
- He really shouldn't be surprised. 
- If it was anyone else, he probably wouldn't bat an eye.
- But his own s/o? Well that's different. 
- He'll be skeptical but intrigued..
- You grab a bucket of black paint, yet when painted on the wall it turns into a scenery of Gotham Park.
- When you two walk through it, Eddie's pretty stunned. 
- However, nothing moved him more than when you grabbed another bomb straight from the air to keep him from being hit…
- Yet when it exploded you were just covered in soot with spiky and smoked hair.
- He is still not used to you defying gravity or your lack of pain recognition but…as long as you're okay…in the end.
- It's all that matters…even if it drives him bonkers sometimes. 
Telltale Riddler: 
- Much like Arkham Riddler, he'll think you're just messing with him. 
- Please just stop wasting his time, if you want his attention oh so badly, grab him that tool.
- Before he knows it you hand that exact tool to him. 
- At first, this Edward doesn't take notice. 
- Albeit after the next couple of requests…and you not moving an inch away from his side…
- Edward is irritated. How are you doing that?
- He's speechless when he sees you just pulling something from behind your back. 
- He told you to turn around so your hack faced him and yet, you only pulled something from your front. 
- Maybe there is something to your…claim of possessing the ability of cartoon physics.
Young Justice Riddler:
- You mean…those silly Saturday morning cartoons? 
- He's hesitant to believe, but like other Riddlers, he lives among meta-humans, aliens, and gods so…it really shouldn’t be that hard to believe. 
- If anything he thinks its pretty fascinating all around. 
- The way your body contorts to whatever it impacts. 
- How you can defy gravity as long as you don’t look down.
- Your limbs stretch, shrink, and twist as if there were no bones. 
- He’s also grateful for your powers. 
- You’ll be able to protect yourself, even if it’s in a comedic way. 
- It’s very impressive to pull an impactful punch and a punchline at the same time. 
Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 
- Similar to Dano Riddler, he thinks it's cute when you first mention it. 
- However, his heart leapt into his throat when you plugged your finger into a barrel of a gun to protect him one night. 
- Only to have the gun implode on itself.
- Or whenever it seemed like you broke a bone or a joint you just cracked it back together. 
- He's stunned but amazed. 
- Like other Riddlers he is assured to know that you have a way to defend yourself if he's not there. 
- But please just stop walking on air like that
- It unsettles him and he doesn't not want to be there in case you do look down.

I have an ask! Supervillain Sukuna + UA Student Child!
It’s hard to be a hero in an evil household……and keep your dear old dad’s “career” as secret.
Supervillain! Sukuna with UA Student! Reader who is his child
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: Thank you so much for this request! This is an interesting prompt! I really love MHA x JJK crossover series LMAOO Also I’m so sorry for not answering this sooner, I was really conflicted with how I wanted this to go lmao
Genre: Angst-ish
GN!Reader (Your hero name is Cleave)
Tumblr media
Since you were small, you’ve always dreamt of becoming a hero. You found out about it from seeing heroes such as All Might on TV.
You had a strong quirk, so your chances of becoming a hero is strong
What’s stopping you, you ask? Well…
Your father, Ryomen Sukuna, is a well known supervillain in Japan… Although no one really knows what he looks like nor his real name. 
He goes by the name “king of curses” and has never shown his face
Ironic, isn’t it? It’s not your fault that you don’t know that your beloved dad is one of Japan’s most wanted. He never told you and you never found out, all you know is that he is a normal father with a normal job.
And with a dream of being a hero, asking your dad to let you go to UA highschool
At first he refused, you don’t know why, he only said for your safety
But then he allowed you because he thought it would benefit him.
When you got into UA, Sukuna congratulated you!
After the USJ attack happened, when your father found out, he was pissed. 
He might be a villain, but you are still his child and no one dares hurt his child
Let's just say the League of Villains was greeted by your father’s wrath for a while.  
You began to suspect your dad after a few encounters with villains, memories of when you were a child and he’d have to leave late at night and the conversations he’s been having on the phone have started making sense. 
You decided to do a little digging, and to your luck, your hero work had a meeting about an important mission, and got like, a good chunk of Japan’s heroes in a conference along with their student interns. 
It turns out they have information on the “King of curses”, and a debriefing was in order for the next move.
The hero in front started with a recap about the villains involved, and finally, they revealed that they got a photo of the king of curses.
They flashed a slightly blurred, yet still recognizable photo…
To your horror, a side profile photo of you dad was on the screen, you can’t mistake it. You’ve known this man all your life to know him even if it was just his back. 
You stared at the photo in horror. Is your father… really the king of curses? One of Japan’s most wanted villains who has escaped even All Might himself? You thought about all the stories you’ve told your dad about U.A. About the teachers, your friends, the staff. To think that he could potentially use them against your peers. You spaced out during the meeting, inner turmoil eating at you. 
“Cleave, you alright?” You were pulled out of your trance by Edgeshot, the hero you were interning with. “Oh, yeah, sorry. It was just too much information I got mentally blocked.” You lied. “We’ll definitely have to work on your concentration then” He commented. 
The briefing lasted another hour, with the heroes planning what action to take. They also revealed that they were aware of one of the King of curses’ hideouts, which they found by spying on him. They decided for an ambush next week. You knew your father will be on a “business trip” next week, so the dates check out. You knew, you knew information. You knew some things and a few from whenever you’d overhear your dad in calls. Suddenly all his gibberish made sense in context. 
And yet even when you knew, you still kept quiet. Feigning ignorance, unable to provide the team with crucial evidence that could help this whole mission ten fold. 
You’re conflicted, your moral values are in shambles. And as the meeting ended, and you were dismissed to go home, with the promise of no information getting out. You arrived home, where your father greeted you. Asking about your day.
‘Family… or the citizen’s safety…?’ you thought, eyes cast downwards, unable to look your dad in the eyes. However, you’ve already made your choice on the way home. 
“It was okay, just did some patrolling and handled a few robberies. Nothing special today”

toxic traits of the signs
i want to preface this by saying we all have the capacity to be toxic at times; when things are hard and we get pushed past our window of tolerance, it can get ugly fast. this post is in no way meant to shame anybody, it's meant to promote opening up to yourself and coming to some realisations, and finding peace and healing within yourself. as much as we all have the capacity for toxicity, we also have the capacity for nurturing our dark side and bringing it into the light. kira xo
aries - stubbornness. aries, with their lightning-bolt energy and enthusiasm, are decisive, self-assured and active. however, they can become blinkered sometimes, especially when they're feeling insecure or stifled, because they have a tendency to double-down on what they think is right. it isn't always a bad thing to hold your opinions firm, but it's important, and actually quite freeing, to be able to feel comfortable enough in your values and ideas to listen to those of other people. you might learn something new, and you might find you align more closely with yourself when you connect with others.
taurus - black and white thinking. taurus can be a gentle, loving and receptive sign when they are secure and comfortable. they need to feel at home in themselves and with their loved ones, and this isn't always easy. but when their sense of safety is threatened, taurus can do a 180, becoming defensive, cold, even cruel-seeming. although it comes from a place of self-protection, this extreme flip can be confusing and frightening for the person on the other side. it's hard to open up and allow a grey area, but it's worth the struggle to find that middle ground to bring back some balance and show your loved ones you still hold them dear to you, even when you're finding things difficult.
gemini - catastrophising. gemini, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, is usually curious and effervescent. they live to learn, and love it too. they way they explore life is almost childlike, in that there's a sense of wonder about them as they're going about their explorations. but gemini, being cerebral and energetic, is prone to attacks of anxiety. they can be very jittery individuals, flighty and nervous-seeming, and when the attacks hit, their curiosity and interest comes crashing down around them. you become despairing, your quick mind leading you to the worst of scenarios and not leaving you the energy to wonder at the alternatives. ironically, curiosity is often the way through the anxiety; by asking "what if the worst didn't happen?", "what has triggered this episode?", "how can i help myself through it?", you learn to manage your nerves and work with your mind, not against.
cancer - manipulation. cancer is a sign that has a polarised reputation; they’re sweet little babies, or petty and cruel. in reality, they’re a sign with almost infinite stores of care and love, but a strong sense of self-preservation and often a lot of insecurity. they can react very heavily to feeling rejected or unprotected, emotionally speaking. their sharpness, their near-perfect memories, their fierceness when afraid, can make them actually quite frightening to those who know the kind, retiring, sensitive native at their best. they can be quite disarming in fact, and leave people not knowing where they stand; they can feel gaslit at times. cancer, your desire to protect your delicate heart is admirable, and you’d go to the ends of the earth to do the same for those you love, but it’s vital to stay aware of the affect your sudden changes of direction can have on others. it’s embarrassing and vulnerable to open up and apologise, but it’s part of understanding your triggers and working through them. you’re as strong as you are sensitive, you can do this, and you’ll feel much more secure in the long run in doing so.
leo - validation-seeking. leo is a bold and bright sign, radiating warmth and pure-heartedness. it’s hard not to love them, to be honest. but their charisma and popularity can become a double-edged sword at times. leo often grows up being praised, noticed, encouraged. and this isn’t a bad thing at all. but they sometimes become quite dependent on external validation because of this. they never learn how to hold space for themselves, because they’re always trying to earn that space in other people’s hearts. it’s not really a conscious move on the native’s part; it’s something that becomes a pattern very early on, and so becomes as easy as blinking. but never being able to validate and encourage yourself only leads to feeling empty and afraid when there’s nobody else around to do it. it’s hard, leo, but you can develop awareness and build up the strength to be your own biggest cheerleader.
virgo - nitpicking. virgo is a sign that values perfection; whether that’s in the aesthetic sense, or the practical. they are neat, industrious, growth-oriented and critical. generally, virgo is very kind, but very hard on themselves, but when stressed, and especially when feeling helpless, they can lash out and start picking at those around them - especially their closest and dearest, the people they feel safest with. it can be very hard to deal with, on both sides, and it’s important to recognise what is happening, rather than doubling down and putting up walls. virgo, you work so very hard, you can work on this too. the first step lies in recognising when you are headed towards your limits, and to start becoming more mindful about how you speak to yourself and to your loved ones. you know none of you deserve to be pecked apart.
libra - deflection. libra is notoriously conflict-avoidant. they value beauty and peace above almost all else, and will go to great lengths to keep it. when conflict does arise, libra struggles to meet it; if they can’t simply avoid it, they usually become passive-aggressive and can turn to deflection and projection to try and take the pressure off of themselves. it’s really hard to come to terms with this, because the last thing they want to do is hurt other people, but that is the unfortunate result of flipping criticism back onto the other person. it can be hard to start changing it too, because the switch is automatic; when conflict hits, libra’s logical mind walks out the door. libra, you will find that peace and security are achieved with vulnerability and an open heart, and even though it’s terrifying, you are strong. when things get difficult, breathe, ask for a moment to calm down, and then approach the conversation with the aim to find a solution, not just to release the pressure until next time.
scorpio - cynicism. scorpio isn’t exactly known for being a ray of sunshine, sure. they’re often quite brooding, serious individuals, with a deadpan sense of humour that’s just to die for. but vulnerability scares them deeply. they often harden up to protect themselves, especially if their sense of trust is threatened. they become cynical and miserable, shutting down emotionally and preparing for the worst. scorpio, don’t you see that by behaving as if it’s already happened, your fears become a self-fulfilling prophecy? as frightening as it is to open your heart to the possibility of grief, in doing so, you open yourself up to the possibility of joy too. you can take it slow; start by just being curious. what if the worst didn’t happen? what are the other options? with time, you might find you naturally see things with a little more optimism, and you may start to feel vulnerable isn’t the worst thing you could be.
sagittarius - checking out. sagittarius is a sign that often seems fearless. they stride through life with an air of genuine optimism and interest, and it’s infectious to those around them. there isn’t a lot that phases the native, but when things do, and their footing appears treacherous, they often start to retreat into their minds. it isn’t always obvious in the way it might be with another sign, but they start to check out. they lose their interest and enthusiasm, they dream and plan less, they seem distant. although this helps to keep the native feeling safe, it can lead to those around them feeling confused, alienated, even ghosted sometimes. sagittarius, you’re a naturally curious and mindful individual, why not start to plant your feet in the present when issues arise, instead of walking away? what’s the worst that could happen? if things go wrong, you can always find a new path to take, but if you care about the one you’re on, you shouldn’t leave it so easily.
capricorn - denial. capricorn is the master of pushing through. when things get tough, they get tougher. their strength and perseverance are inspiring to witness, but there is a darker side to these traits. the difficulty comes when capricorn reaches their breaking point; without any other coping mechanisms in place, they try to just "turn off" their feelings. they deny that things are hard, that they're struggling. they withdraw into the safety of material achievement and just try to ignore what's going on inside. sometimes, the real work happens at rest, and it's important to learn to let go and let yourself feel.
aquarius - playing devil's advocate. aquarius is bright, passionate, interested. they love to learn, to talk, to connect. when you have a good conversation with an aquarius, it's like you can feel the electricity flowing between the two of you. but a more frustrating aspect to the water bearer is that they like to argue. there's nothing wrong with a good debate, but aquarius can become detached at times; they become so invested in the exchange that they start playing devil's advocate, picking topics they know will cause friction, sometimes entering into whataboutism and strawmen to prolong the fun. as great as challenging the mind with an argument is, it's greater still to meet your partner where they are at, and remember the humanity of what you're arguing about.
pisces - numbing. pisces is acutely tuned in to the world around them; everything diffuses into them, and they often have no choice but to let the waves of emotion wash over them. they can become physically ill from the burden of carrying everything they encounter, and it's hard to understand when enough is enough, let alone figuring out how to let go of some of it. so they use what they have to manage the intensity. they retreat into the richness of their inner world, or into the escape of something external; people, media, substances. being present can be so overwhelming that they are forced into dissociation, escaping the inescapable. there is no shame in being sensitive, but it doesn't serve you to suffer. there are ways to become less easily hurt, to grow a thicker skin without switching off your humanity and kindness.

Captive Part 3
Sihtric x OC
Authors note: the third part of the Captive. If you liked the story – give me a hint that you want it to continue and what you would like to happen next. I have too many endings in my mind and can’t decide.
Summary: Sihtric is sent to Heasten’s camp to spy and discovers the Danes have a captive – young Saxon girl he just can’t leave to her fate.
Word Count: 1,536
Part 1 , Part 2. Part 3, Part 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sihtric knew that the only way to escape the pursuers was to keep moving as fast as they can. There was no time for rest. The Danes will discover Elfflead missing first thing in the morning and the great hunt will start. But they were slow, too slow to make real use of the advantage in time they had. Elfflead stumbled, she was tired and out of breath. Her grip on Sihtric’s hand was getting desperate as she struggled to keep up with his pace.
“I can’t anymore,” she breathed heavily and stopped.
“We can’t stop now. We are close,” Sihtric was determined not to let her rest.
“Close to what?” Elfflead was surprised.
“To the cave I spent the night in on the way here,” Sihtric explained, “But first we must go up that small stream, it will conceal our trace and it is just the opposite direction they will expect us to go. Common, lady, we must move on,” Sihtric commanded and gripped Elfflead’s hand tightly.
---------------------------------------------------------
It was evening again when they reached the cave. Its entrance was concealed by a curtain of ivy and moss. Sihtric carefully pulled them aside and waived to Elfflead to enter it, he followed and let the green curtain to slip back in its place. As they ventured deeper, a hidden expanse unfolded, revealing a cavern spacious enough to provide shelter. Shafts of dim light pierced through narrow crevices in the rock, casting strange glow and shadows upon the chamber's interior. The cavern's floor was carpeted with a bed of moss and soft earth and in the heart of the cave, a natural recess provided a small alcove, just large enough to accommodate a fire.
Sihtric spread his fur coat on the ground and gestured to Elfflead to sit down.
“You must rest, lady. We are safe here and you will need all your strength tomorrow again,” he insisted, “I will make the fire.”
Elfflead curled herself on the coat, but sleep was evading her, and she kept looking over to Sihtric who was sitting on the ground by the fire.
Sihtric did not want to look at Elfflead. He did not know what to do with this girl he had so foolishly rescued without any plan on how to fulfil his promise to lead her to safety. And gods… he wanted to keep that promise more than anything. He could feel her gaze on his back, he knew she did not sleep, and so he turned. She was sitting embracing her knees. Their eyes met for a moment before Elfflead turned ger gaze down to the ground before her feet, her delicate frame trembling with a mixture of fear and exhaustion.
“Sihtric,” she lifted her head and locked her eyes with Sihtric’s, her voice barely above a whisper quivered with desperation, "please don't leave me. I know I'm slowing you down. But there is no way I could survive here without you.”
Sihtric gazed into Elfflead’s eyes. Despair in her voice tugged at his very core and the fragility of her beauty made him almost speechless. He stood up, went towards her, and lowered himself beside her leaning his back against the cave’s walls. He placed his arms around her, pulling her closer. Elfflead stiffened. She had never been so close to any man before in her whole life. It felt so wrong and at the same time so good to be hold by his strong arms and a moment later she relaxed, lowered her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She felt safe although her common sense was telling her that this feeling was completely irrational, even mad.
Sihtric sighed, the smell of her hair and the touch of her head leaning on his shoulder sending a jolt of electricity through his veins.
"Lady Elfflead," Sihtric whispered, his voice filled with tenderness. "I could never leave you behind. You are not a burden to me, and you can never be."
Sihtric gently touched her chin with his rough fingers and lifted her face to be able to look into her eyes. Sihtric leaned closer, his voice laced with sincerity. "I have probably gone mad, but you fill me with feelings I never knew existed.”
Tears welled up in Elfflead's eyes, reflecting the wavering firelight and Sihtric was completely smitten by her beauty. All their journey long Sihtric had been trying to suppress the feelings that were kindling in him since the very moment he entered that tent and saw Elfflead for the very first time. It was madness and it was hopeless. He was a Dane and a warrior. There was nothing he could offer to a high-born lady from the richest and powerful house in the whole Mercien. And there was absolutely nothing that could attract such a lady to him. But there he was holding her in his arms and unable to hold back any longer he leaned in and softly pressed his lips against Elfflead's.
It seemed to Elfflead that the air between them had suddenly become charged with an electrifying anticipation. Sihtric’s lips felt so hot on hers. Without even thinking what she was doing, Elfflead kissed him back. Sihtric pulled back with a look of disbelief on his face and his hands trembled as he gently cradled Elfflead's delicate face, his fingers grazing the contours of her cheek. Sihtric leaned in, his breath mingling with hers, and their mouths melded together again, each tender touch sending shockwaves of pleasure through their veins. Sihtric groaned and his lips went exploring the curves of Elfflead's neck and shoulders down to her collarbone. Sihtric wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tight and pulling her closer with a strength that conveyed both protection and longing. Sihtric's lips were back on Elfflead’s and his tongue gently sought entry in her mouth, which she granted him with a soft gasp of pleasure. Slowly and gently, he lowered her on his fur coat and while his tongue continued to explore Elfflead’s mouth, his rough warrior hands were brushing her breasts and slipping down to her waist and then to her thighs.
Elfflead’s head was spinning, and her heart raced at such a speed that she thought it must jump out of her breast. Each kiss and each touch were sending waves of pleasure all over her body. Sihtric’s hand that had reached her thigh was now pushing up her dress while his hot lips ventured again to her neck, then down to her collarbone and further down to her breasts. His hand had finally found its way under her dress, and she gasped when he touched her bare skin on her thigh and moved his hand to her bottom. Elfflead was melting in his grip, she had closed her eyes and her fingers were tangling and twisting his long, thick, and curly hair. She stiffened a bit embarrassed that she had no idea how to respond to Sihtric’s touch, how to show him that she wanted him to continue and that she was ready for whatever this man would do with her. In this very moment Sihtric suddenly froze, his left hand was still holding her butt, but in the next second he had withdrawn it and placed on her cheek holding her face firmly and making her to look straight into his eyes.
“Lady,” he spoke his voice hoarse and carrying a hint of sudden realisation, “have you ever been with a man before?”
Elfflead was unable to say anything. She was staring in Sihtric’s eyes and felt tears welling up in hers. She shook her head and in the very same moment Sihtric let go of her and withdraw from their embrace.
“No, no… I am so sorry. Please don’t go away,” she prayed.
“You are sorry? For what?” Sihtric asked in confusion.
“I don’t know how to please a man,” she was whispering with her cheeks blushing and her gaze turned to the ground.
Sihtric was looking at her in disbelief. He sighed and leaned closer to Elfflead just to put a kiss on her forehead.
“You silly girl!” he exclaimed with astonishment, “Fuck, I am such a fool! I should have thought about that before... I can’t do this, lady! I can’t use your fear and desperation, not in this way. I could never forgive myself if I did.”
“But, Sihtric, no ... I want this. Yes, it is my first time ever, but I want this. Not because I am afraid of you leaving me. Don’t think so. I have never felt safer in my whole life than in the moment you were holding me. I want this, I really do…” Elfflead was almost begging, but Sihtric had already gotten up.
“Lady, I promise I will get us out of here and bring you to safety. And then you can decide whether you really want something from me or not,” Sihtric’s voice was full of determination. It took him all his inner strength to turn away and to go to the small fireplace. He did not look back being afraid that if he had he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.
“Sleep, lady! I will keep the watch.”
