Thinking about how Astarion insisted on staying up to keep watch in the beginning of the game
Tumblr media
Yeah, it could be because he needs to go hunt at night without anyone noticing, or because he's keeping an eye out for Cazador/his minions. But... It could also be because he's scared of sleeping/trancing in general?
He's got severe C-PTSD. I have that too. And one of the things I experience from it is a fear of falling asleep.
Sleeping is vulnerability. You're completely defenseless. It's terrifying to fall asleep when you're used to danger! And some abusers will purposefully do things to you when you sleep. I wouldn't put it past Cazador to have done something like that.
It's especially terrifying when you're sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, or as out and open as a forest. With strangers.
Add in the elvish reverie (if we assume Astarion still experiences it as he would if he were alive at his current age)... and he might even be reliving horrible memories every time he tries to rest.
(If you're unfamiliar with elvish trancing/dreaming, I made a post about it and some ways it might affect Astarion as a vampire spawn a while ago)
One of the reasons I think this could be the case is actually the other spawn, specifically what I noticed when we first meet Dalyria and Petras. At first I thought Astarion's eye bags were just a product of being undead. But... Petras, the very human looking spawn, doesn't have that. Dalyria is an elf as well, and like Astarion, she's got some of that tired sleep-deprived purple under and around her eyes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So all this considered... I think it's very possible that Astarion has a fear of sleeping too. Or at the very least, trouble resting. Him and the other elvish spawn.
It also makes me wonder if he sleeps any better later on in the game. By Act 3 he probably feels more comfortable with you and the group. Sleeping near familiar people (especially people you're very comfortable with, but that's very dependant on your own choices in your game), and having established night time routines can make sleeping feel a little safer.
Plus by that point he's made many new memories he can visit in his reverie. Maybe instead of remembering the terrible things, sometimes he dreams of sun bathing, the first time he bit you or that bear, or any other happy memory he's created since being tadpoled.
Maybe for the first time in centuries, sleeping isn't such a terrible prospect.

"I'm taking you to a hospital. No arguments."

"I’ve been a doctor for 20 years; you’re not going to surprise me."
"I'm perfectly aware of the dosage required!"
"You need to lie down."
"This man shouldn't be dead! I couldn't find anything wrong with him!"

captain price — wash away.
masterlist.
pairing : john price/gn!reader
desc : all it takes is a warm bath to wash away the stress of a long day.
a/n : FIRST PRICE FIC LETS GOOO
john pushed himself too far sometimes. always ever so dismissive with a wave of his hand and a “i’m alright, love” as if you couldn’t see him visibly wincing. goodness, you swear he could be bleeding out on the floor and he’d still manage to mumble out an, “i’m fine.” he’d sooner work himself to death than admit he’s in any form of pain. stubborn old man.
he’s asked you a few times about why you insist on taking care of him like this; you shouldn’t have to worry yourself with his problems when you’ve undoubtedly got some of your own. he understood it well enough when it was his turn to take care of you when you weren’t feeling too good, bringing you something to eat or drink if you needed it or checking up on you throughout the day. perhaps he was too used to sidelining his own issues in favor of somebody else’s.
each time you answered with the same thing: love. you do these things for him because you love him and when you love someone, you take care of them. through sickness and health, the good and the bad.
he’s seated in the bathtub, water sloshing around him as he shifts every now and then to get comfortable. it’s a bit of a tight fight but he manages to make it work, if just barely.
you’re kneeling beside the bathtub, hands rubbing together to create some suds. it smells faintly of what john recognizes as lavender and eucalyptus. he recalls you saying that it’s supposed to be soothing for the mind, helps you relax. natural sedatives, as you called them.
it’s quiet within the four walls of the bathroom, nothing but the combined breathing of the two of you and the flow of water as it continues to fill the tub. there’s an occasional hum from you as you readjust yourself, mumbling that your knees are probably going to kill after this. it was worth it though— you knew that deep down. any time you took to get john to relax and take some time to shed his “captain” mantle was an time well spent and you’d sacrifice a thousand days of achey knees to see him actually relax for once.
eventually you leaned forward, placing your elbows on the lip of the tub, “can i wash your back?” it was such a simple question but it made his mouth run dry and suddenly, any and all ability to respond back to you was gone. you were looking at him with a gentleness that made his skin flush and his heartbeat steadily pick up; you were adoration and devotion itself. you were his sun, his moon, his stars. you were love incarnate, dare he say.
a beat passed and then two as you stared at him expectantly, the suds on your hands slowly popping and dying down. eventually he responded with a soft,“ ‘course, love.”
you began your work with a nod of your head, starting at the top of his back. his shoulders were tense under your hands, the muscles taut. you’d make quick work of it though, hands working deftly to massage out any coils of tension with a combination of your fingers and the heel of your palm. when you felt you’d dealt with that sufficiently, you moved to the larger expanse of his back, your thumbs pressing up gently against any sore spots, careful to steer clear of any already noticeable bruises.
john seemed to visibly go lax under your hands after a couple of minutes, his shoulders lowering from their tightly wound position, jaw unclenching and eyes fluttering to a close. at some point, he seemed to lean back in to your touch, a few content “hm”s and sighs escaping him. it made his brain feel fuzzy, almost like he was incapable of focusing on anything but you, the warm water lapping at his skin, and your hands working to put him at ease. everything felt like it was washing away all at once; any negative thoughts, that bone deep stress, the taxing endeavors of the day. perhaps this was his own, personal taste of heaven.
when you were satisfied with your work and john seemed sufficiently relaxed compared to earlier, you cupped some (now lukewarm) water over his back, letting it cascade over the accumulated suds.
it was nice seeing his like this, when he wasn’t captain john price, not bravo six or anything of that sort. simply john price, the man who you loved.

(Story and drawing under the cut)
Picking the dart gun back up, Leo hissed with a grimace when he noticed it was no longer functional. The side was dented, the barrel was bent, and the trigger was jammed. Donnie must have trampled it. Either way, with it being useless now Leo tossed it back to the ground, tugging out another dart to hold curled up in a fist instead. Donnie was drowsy, but it seemed that four darts still wasn’t enough to get him to calm down sufficiently.
It felt like they still had a long fight ahead of them. But when Leo looked up again, he had to blink and furrow his brow. Was he seeing things? Was Donnie actually smaller now? When Raph got up close it definitely looked like he was. Just a head taller than Raph instead of double his size. And sometimes he was standing and running at the others biped again. Taking a quick look at Mikey, Leo saw that he also only had two injection pens with him now. He must have used another one while Leo was… distracted.
That was encouraging, and convinced Leo the antibodies were working. Grinning away the residual feeling from before, Leo dashed forward and leapt up onto Donnie’s back, straddling his shoulders like they did when roughhousing sometimes. Sinking the fifth sedative into Donnie’s trapezius, he looked up to the others around them. “Good news guys, it looks like the antibodies are wo- eOOAHH!” Leo tried to inform, breaking off in a surprised cry when Donnie reached up to latch onto him and abruptly rolled forward into a somersault. Leo wasn’t sure if he was trying to squish him or throw him off, but was able to shift enough to avoid getting directly crushed. He couldn’t completely avoid getting hurt though, and let out a strangled yelp when Donnie’s shoulder smashed into his leg, cracking his ankle with a loud pop. He personally felt it more than heard it, the sharp pain shooting up his leg and into his foot from the offended joint.
“Sensei!” Casey cried, rushing over to Leo.
“Guah! I’m fine. Help Mikey,” Leo shooed, pulling his ankle towards him to validate his own assumption. A few tender pokes, winces, and hisses, and Leo determined at the very least his ankle was just horribly sprained and not dislocated or broken. He wasn’t sure how bad it was sprained until he tried to stand on it. The first moment he tried to put weight on it he ended up collapsing forward again.
The resulting sound of him hitting the ground as well as vocalizing his annoyance caused April to run over to him. Taking one look at him, she crouched down and slung his arm around her shoulder to heft him up. “Broken?” she asked quickly.
“Just sprained really bad. I think,” Leo winced, raising his injured leg off the ground now that April was acting as a temporary crutch. “Feel free to ditch me somewhere if you need to,” he commented lightly.
“HA! Not likely,” April laughed, dragging him out of the way as a stray hand from Donnie swiped in front of them. He was starting to get a lot easier to manage. Which Leo was grateful for since most of them were already breathing heavily from the extended exertion. It was starting to feel like a rhythm of rushing forward, then backing off as someone else came from another angle. It was taking Donnie longer to be able to get to his feet once he was knocked down. The most recent being Splinter sliding his own foot into Donnie’s, causing him to topple to the side.
But then something unexpected happened. The angry snarls and roars from Donnie gradually shifted into what sounded like cries of pain shortly after he pushed himself back to his feet. Hunching over, instead of lashing out at the others again he wrapped his arms around himself as he dropped to his knees again. As his form collapsed to the ground, writhing slightly in agony and digging his claws into the ground, it was obvious he wasn’t just withdrawing from emotional or mental distress. His expression dropping into one of concern, Splinter rushed forward to rest his hands on his son in comfort, not sure what had brought on the sudden change. While he did so, Mikey hesitantly stepped forward and took advantage of the situation to stab another antibody injection into Donnie’s other thigh. He half thought that maybe the medication was reacting negatively with Donnie, but Leo hadn’t said anything about him stopping. For Leo, he felt his heart raise to his throat in anxiety, suddenly afraid he hadn’t double checked the cure well enough. He had looked at Donnie’s first test, hours after it had been started, and found everything back to normal. And he’d also tested the new vial after removing it from the incubator to make sure it had the same reaction. But had they both just missed something?
Luckily for all of them April was able to calm their fears.
“This happened a lot during the shift. Whenever there was a big change,” April explained, helping Leo come a bit closer while worry caused the others to gravitate around Donnie as well. “Look,” she directed, pointing to Donnie’s legs as they could visibly see, and hear, the joints and form adjusting to a more humanoid proportion like they were supposed to be. The same was happening to the rest of Donnie’s body, snout and new tail becoming shorter until they were practically gone, shoulders less hunched, claws less dangerous. The periodic cracks they heard, and the sight of drastic change was slightly sickening. But it was also encouraging to see Donnie’s form becoming more what they were used to.
Unsure of what to do, Raph and Casey tried to help by holding Donnie more still. They hoped that the pressure might help like the weighted blankets back home. But they also realized they needed to help so Mikey could keep from jerking the needle around while it was in Donnie’s thigh as his growls gradually became shrieked, tear filled sobs into Splinter’s lap.
Tumblr media
Once the eight seconds were up, Mikey removed the third antibody pen and tossed it to the side. Resting his hands on Donnie’s thigh, not knowing what else to do in a hopeless attempt to help comfort, Mikey watched as Donnie’s form eventually stilled into heaved breaths and twitching limbs. Splinter was continuing to whisper calming words to him, stroking his head and letting him cling to his lap. He didn’t seem like he was going to lurch up and start slashing claws at them again, so Splinter felt it was more appropriate to continue providing comfort instead of additional stress. After a full minute of semi quiet stillness, Raph and Casey relaxed their rigid forms slightly, watching hesitantly but keeping their hands in contact just in case.
“Is that the last one?” Raph asked after a moment, pulling his gaze away from his dad and looking at Mikey. There was one more injection pen held in both his hands, trembling slightly as he tried not to cry.
Meeting Raph’s gaze, Mikey gave a small nod, visibly unsettled but trying to keep it together. Raph could see one eye was halfway swollen under his mask because of damage instead of tears, and felt a pang of sympathy for that. His own eye was bleeding a trail down his neck already, and there was a persistent throb on his cheekbone.
“I’I need his other shoulder though. The one he’s laying on,” Mikey directed, gesturing slightly and distracting Raph from his previous thoughts.
“Oh, gotcha,” Raph acknowledged, shifting along with Casey to help move Donnie to allow Mikey access. They should probably just roll him onto his back. That would put the shoulder Mikey needed on his side, and make it easier for him to access. But it seemed Donnie was waiting for them to let their guard down, and as soon as Raph and Casey’s hands left his form he sucked in a hiss of breath before heaving himself upright with a snarl and sudden surge of strength.
“Raph watch out!” Leo shouted, attempting to rush forward but having to be caught by April when his ankle rejected even the suggestion of being used.
The distraction of his eye, and how to move his brother made it so Raph could only give a startled shout when Donnie’s sudden attack allowed him to grab him. Now about the same size as each other it took a bit more effort than before for Donnie to heave Raph upright before swinging Raph into a toss away from him. The next victim was Casey. With a rather weak snarl a swiping clawed hand caught Casey’s upper arm before a foot came back around and kicked him, earning a yelp as he was launched into a rolling crash towards Raph.
Having had a chance to shift his mindset back to fighting, Mikey ducked under the next wild swipe to avoid getting thrown to the side as well. Springing back up when the immediate danger had passed, he wrapped one arm in a vice grip around Donnie’s upper arm before bringing the last injection pen down on his shoulder. Donnie hissed and snarled as he twisted his torso roughly to each side to try and shake Mikey off, pushing on Mikey’s head with his free hand as he simply squeezed his eyes closed and hung on. Donnie’s efforts to get Mikey off ended up hindered as Splinter leapt up to grab his free hand, pulling him into a stoop as he helped restrain him. before having to swing Splinter away when his Dad grabbed on to restrain him for a moment. Feeling another wave of pain coming from his cells rearranging themselves back to where they should be, Donnie huffed a final surge of strength to fling Splinter away. As Splinter flipped into a backwards slide on his feet, Mikey pulled the last injection pen away from Donnie’s arm. But before Mikey could safely let go and back away on his own, Donnie reached over to grab the rim of his shell and also fling him in the opposite direction. With no one else around him and the final injection giving him enough antibodies to fully overwhelm the mutagen, he brought his hands up to engulf his throbbing head as a throat ripping scream escaped his lungs as the last visible large shift brought him back to his original form.

It’s morning here so I wanted to wish you a good morning. I hope you have a wonderful day and you know what a treasure you are for allowing all of us to be insane and horny in your ask box.
While I was driving to work this morning a song came on which - up until now - I didn’t realise was super problematic (English is not my first language and when it was first released in 2011 I didn’t speak a lick of it) but we do love problematic stuff for Dreaming, don’t we?
All things the singer wishes for his love to be kinda fit unhinged Dreamling, but what stuck with me was I often wish that you had feathers, I'd keep you in a giant cage / All day long I'd sit and watch you, I'd sing for you and that would be okay
To imagine Dream as this magnificent creature with wings is all too easy. They’re huge and dark as night. When he moves them and the light hits them just right, you swear you can see entire galaxies of stars reflected in them. But it’s not just the creature’s wings that are mesmerising, it’s the creature, too. Its skin is alabaster white, lithe muscles move underneath with every spin and turn the creature performs in the air. On his head there’s an unruly mop of pitch-black hair, that looks as downy soft as his wings. His lips are pink, perfect to be kissed and he has the most mesmerising electric blue eyes. It’s breathtaking and when Hob sees him for the first time- He knows he must have him.
He has no idea what the creature is, how to approach it and let alone how to capture it, but Hob is nothing if not determined. He finds an old, dilapidated building, nestled in a valley, far away from civilisation. He thinks it might be an old factory, but nature has already started to reclaim it and it’s hard to see. It’s unimportant anyway because this place is perfect for his needs.
He starts building a large cage, more than large enough to house twenty of his mysterious creature, wide enough to he can unfurl his wings without the tips brushing the metal on either side. He lugs wood around, fabric, supplies, every day for weeks and months and after a year, it’s finished: a gilded cage, furnishings fit for a king but a cage nonetheless.
His own quarters are done up as well. They are much more simple but it doesn’t matter anyway. Step one of his plan is complete now and he goes on to step two.
He will capture his creature.
With his bow slung over his shoulder, he sets out to where he saw him first. It’s quite a trek, but he made sure that his hideout would be far away from the creature’s usual grounds.
When he sees Dream again, it’s like a punch to the gut. It shouldn’t be possible, but he might be even more beautiful now that Hob hasn’t seen him in a year than he had been before. And Hob waits. Day in, day out he sits and watches. The creature has friends - or family? - that sometimes join him in the sky, but bar a few occasions he always seems to isolate himself from the rest of them. He’s up there first and leaves last, soaring through the sky long after the sun has set.
Which is when Hob takes his chance. He shoots.
The arrow hits its mark as intended. The creature, caught in the middle of a swoop close to the ground, plummets.
Hob hides his bow and rushed to the side. “Are you hurt?”, he asks, even though it’s perfectly clear Dream is. “Let me help you.”
As was his plan, Hob takes Dream back to the abandoned factory. He laced his arrow with a sedative, so Dream won’t wake during the long track back. He’s heavy to carry but Hob manages and his heart soars when the door of the cage shuts with a decisive click of the lock.
He’s caught him. He’s well and truly caught his mystic creature.
The wound on Dream isn’t fatal, but it’s bad enough that he’s out of it for a few days. Hob takes good care of his treasure, nursing him back to health. During the day he goes out to hunt with traps and a knife, no bow in sight, never a bow, and to collect fruit in the forest. He feeds Dream until he can sit upright and look around. He dresses an redresses his injury until he can stand and take the first wobbling steps after two weeks lying down.
Dream doesn’t speak, at least not in a language Hob can understand. His delicate fingers clutch the bars of the cage and he seems to plead with Hob, but Hob just smiles and watches him. Even here, in the dim light that falls through the patchy roof, and with wings that start to look a little worn from lack of care, Dream is still the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.
He starts bringing back gifts from his hunting trips, little things he thinks might cheer Dream up, who has taken to moping in the corner. He steals a silk robe now that the air has a slight chill to it at night, so Dream won’t be cold. He gifts him a brush-
Dream doesn’t use it on the hair on his head, but rather on his wings. It looks like he’s struggling to reach all the right places, so Hob takes the brush from him to help. The moan Dream lets out when Hob brushes over the scapulars isn’t one of pain but one of pleasure. So he continues until Dream is writhing and shaking and pleading underneath him- Dream comes from this, arching his back gracefully, his cum soiling the silk robe Hob has gifted him. It’s a breathtaking sight. Hob cleans him up before he leaves, taking the robe with him. It smells of his creature and he presses his face to it while he lays back on his own bed, hand around his prick.
It becomes a ritual of theirs after that. Dream tries to retreat every time Hob steps into his cage, but he relents as soon as Hob starts to brush his feathers. He’s face down on the bed and within minutes he’s rubbing his aching cock against the covers for a little relief, fighting the urge to reach for Hob. He acts like he doesn't want this, like he doesn't crave Hob's touch, but really--
And Hob, as soon as he leaves the cage, he’s divesting himself of his clothes, watching Dream’s wings flutter through the aftershocks while he gets himself off imagining how it would feel to kiss those wings while he fucks into him over and over. Maybe next time…
Love, 💄
Oh, darling 💄 anon!!!! This is an absolutely flawless concept and you've captured it so well with your words!!! I can't stop imagining a beautiful winged Dream soaring through the skies all day. Of course Hob would be enamored, driven to madness by beauty. If Hob hadn't caught him then surely someone else would, someone who would treat him far worse.
That's what Hob tells himself anyway. He is so good to his creature, he takes such care over his welfare. Brings him nice things to eat and makes sure he's beautifully groomed. Of course he must see to his creature's other needs too. Dream obviously craves touch and needs to cum as frequently as a man might. Hob is only being kind by helping him...
Dream meanwhile, lives in a kind of in-between mental state. Knowing that this could be so much worse, yet yearning for freedom. Why can't he stop himself from giving in to his captors warm, clever hands? He's afraid of his own feelings. Each day he promises himself that he'll try to escape, and each day passes without an attempt...
Yes, it's a strange life, but Hob is so happy. And his creature seems... content? More so each day. He no longer mopes in the corner. He leans in to Hob’s touch. And each day he grows more and more beautiful. If Hob let him go, he would be more vulnerable to another capture.
Better to keep him safe, then. Besides, Hob knows that once he finally fucks him? His creature won't want to leave. He'll want to be pampered and loved and fucked forever. And Hob fully intends to give him all of that and more.

Send us your Edgar headcanons!!!
@ anon, I am so sorry. When you've sent this ask one eternity ago I started to reply and then got interrupted by mom and then forgot ;-; I can't be trusted with this stuff sometimes I swear.
Tumblr media
🔎 I like the idea about him infiltrating Yahar'gul for spyoning, however my "official" timeline and headcanons are different! (is "official headcanon" even a thing? xD) I have him go into Byrgenwerth with Yurie/Julie and Fauxsefka and make his way into Nightmare of Mensis under pretense of being a wayward Byrgenwerth scholar! I've had posts covering this thing in more details as it draws upon some cut content and obscure implications from Mico's dialogoe in Japanese original, but in summary, I think that Lecture Hall used to be accessible from the part of Byrgenwerth in "real" world and it only got locked when Micolash had Rom block the Arcane Lake! Why he blocked the way in the end? Well.... because slowly, Edgar started to warm up to Micolash and find a kindred spirit in him, realizing that Choir was never a right place for him and fellow choirlings never "really" understood him. So he ended up confessing having been spying on him and playing part in figuring out how to ruin his Nightmare.
(Here are the posts about what's the deal with the Arcane Lake if you need them: ( x ) ( x ) !)
🔎 I think he avoided wearing Blindfold Cap back in Choir, and now that he "joined" School of Mensis he doesn't wear a cage intentionally as well! Choir's Blindfold symbolises entrusting your way and what you are allowed to see to the 'Stars', whereas Mensis Cage missing only one bar at the eyes level symbolizes being allowed to see the cosmic horrors how they are but also repressing free will and personality to not (literally) die from horror at these visions. Neither really appealed to Edgar as he is an individualists and prefers to preserve both the autonomy of his research and autonomy of how he will "take" his discoveries. It is a risky strategy but he is a strong-willed and strong-minded man, besides he got a lot of Sedatives! This attitude made him similar to Laurence which is something I've realized only late in writing him, but now I am using it as an excuse for what attracted Micolash to him.
🔎 Edgar infiltrated at 'warm' season:
Tumblr media
🔎 He originally was a teacher in one of the schools under Healing Church's influence! I assume Healing Church hired the foreigners abundantly that's hinted by how Brador's clothes (stated to be foreign) copy male Black Church clothes and foreign set of Paleblood Hunter copies male White Church clothes. But Edgar started to notice that whenever after the nights of the hunt any of his pupils became orphans, soon nice people in white robes from higher echelons would take them and these orphans would never be seen again :/ He was nosy enough to try and figure what was going on, but thanks to his intelligence and actor skills he managed to convince the Choir to let him work for them rather than getting thrown into a jail for people that learned too much. It was painful to manage being around people experimenting on children... at first. He was able to stomach the idea that after how much cosmic horrors were unleashed the world was as good as ending and orphaned children objectively had much higher chance to call upon Great Ones of higher rank than Choir's half-human ally Ebrietas and receive their wisdom and blessing.
🔎 He is really physically fit, actually! The guy can throw a very good punch. Not just because he uses Ludwig's Holy Blade, but there are also stats indicating he is stronger than frikin ALFRED and I can't forget this detail for even one day:
Tumblr media
🔎 For as long as Edgar remembered he was unintentionally rude, very rarely emoting and when he did it was very strong and explosive, appearing as though he was not interested in feelings and lives of others, not running his mouth in vain (save for his special interests) and of course he would not do things that made no sense for him. His first attempt at dating ended up pretty toxic as his girlfriend not only could not quite accept him and expected him to magically "warm up" in relationship, but also kept emotionally manipulating him into abiding by her demands. Like I said, he would not do shit for others, no matter how simple, if it made no logical sense in his eyes, so seeing how she never could have her way with him without going through proving her point to him rationally, she resorted to the worst kind of behavior - guilt-tripping and threatening. He was only a teenager back then and that unfortunate relationship made him falsely conclude that maybe women were just like that, so he searched a guy to date later. The very first guy that shown interest in him, who was also..... well, older let's call it that. But that guy walked his own dark path, did crimes and tried to pull Edgar into all that using Edgar's extraordinary intelligence and sense of alienation from society, and eventually absconded.
🔎 He also had a best friend that his parents tended to treat more like their son than Edgar himself. A friend who also claimed credit over blueprints of Edgar's inventions that he left behind when he departed to seek Yharnam unable to help his curiousity over what THE heck that town was doing (the world travelled). Some people were sad that Edgar left, like teachers, library workers, various people he's been helping with voluntary work. He also once protected a couple from getting robbed - like I said, the guy is STRONG. But yeah, he was a good man, and for many people, he just had a bad luck of choosing the wrong kind as close ones.
🔎 Pearl Slug item suggests that the Augurs might be all different colors! At Choir, Edgar enjoyed sorting the unhatched eggs of the slugs by the color when he had a free minute x) Another funny habit is to pretentiously fumble with an abacus when he is sharing some numbers. He would also get very antsy if someone took HIS Choir Bell, even if they were all the same and not branded and interchangeable. He actually always gets extremely protective over 'his' things in terms where they are all interchangeable and there is no ownership per say.. Once he uses something, it is now HIS and he feels nearly spiritual attachement to it. When he abandoned his Choir tools to display to Micolash that he DID stick by his side from now own, he was especially reluctant to give away his Call Beyond simply because Micolash would keep it instead of just letting it flee. To this day Edgar is slightly uneasy with it, as if Micolash owns a part of his 'soul' by it.. and at the same time, he finds strangely erotic enjoyment in the fact.
🔎 It is really hard to make him laugh, but he does have sense of humor! He just 'laughs internally' most of the time.
🔎 Remember how I said he was brave and disobedient to authority to a fault, and it was his intelligence that had Choir decide he was worth this stress and too precious to just get rid of? This guaranteed he heard all about Laurence from his new friends. People that knew Laurence well joked that they could've been "twins" and would get along. It was not the first in his life when he felt like he knew people he never met better than people in his own life.
🔎 He can get overly affectionate at someone saying a lot of smart things (that they genuinely comprehend, of course) or passionately sharing something they know a lot about. If he is close with someone and they are doing this, he will reach the point of shiny eyes and willing to suffocate them in a hug :') When Micolash is being very nerdy, Edgar might start smooching him uncontrollably. Like... yeah, normal flirting will make Edgar a bit shy at most, you charm him by opening your soul to him by infodumping!
🔎 Edgar strongly prefers to 'stay in shape'. That's why he'd go fight some beasts willingly even when they were not a direct treat to him and it was predominantly "dirty job" for Black Church hunters escort, that's why he carries people in his arms when there is a reason (so yes, do not confuse it with him being overly gentlemen-ish x) ). In the Nightmare, he might as much as pick a friendly fight with the residents, like fencing with one of the Shadows for example xD He sometimes also likes testing himself by being around Winter Lanterns.. That usually doesn't end well and Micolash has to save him. Yes, MICOLASH has to save someone from going insane. I swear all kind of wild shit happens with these two fjhfdhfsd
______________
Thank you for an ask!! Again, sorry I forgot about it.. You've sent it when I had a bad day and seeing it in my inbox did cheer me up, though! I always like to talk about Edgar, he is genuinely one of my favs! (With headcanons posts though I tend to default to 'story and loredigging' aspects so narrowing headcanons asks to concrete topics like relationships, habits, etc is always acceptable and even welcomed! Helps me to focus and cover more things rather than my default settings)

hi, what do you think about yandere sonic ? (One punch man)
He'd easily be able to stalk his Darling, and it becomes a hobby of his. Obviously he wants to do it so he can watch over them and keep them from any danger; it's normally frowned upon for a ninja to be with an outsider, but there are so few of them left.
He decides that his Darling (if they have a vagina) can help him continue his bloodline, but that's a long-term goal of his. He needs to defeat Saitama and find out who wiped out his village, and once that's done he can start a family of ninja to train.
He's so good at sneaking around that he's broken into Darling's home multiple times a week without being caught. He's stolen panties to keep as a memento, watched them sleep, even cuddled with them without waking them. He's also caught them touching themselves and jerked off to it. Sooner or later though, he'll need to fuck them properly.
He'll leave small little notes for them sometimes, even if he was never good at writing haiku or other forms of poetry he learned in the village. The elders mainly focused on coded messages, which are worthless if Darling doesn't know how to decipher them. Usually he just leaves messages like: "You're safe with me around," "What were you dreaming about last night? It looked like you were having a nightmare," "I ate the last peach. Sorry"
When he finally does make his presence known, he's not going to take no for an answer. He's like a stray cat that always visits and can't be turned away. No matter where Darling goes, no matter how many times they change the locks or set up traps to keep him away, he'll be there.
He's not very "smooth" when it comes to actually talking to them. He's a direct guy and is canonically kind of an asshole to most people. He'll explain that he wants them as his spouse, and that they're going to be together. They can try to resist, but they should know up front that they won't be able to stop him or run from him. This may be a proposal, but they don't get to say no.
He's even got some things prepared so it's like a pseudo ninja village ceremony for couples, like a handmade patch with the village crest to attach to their wedding kimonos. He's also got a few needles tipped with sedatives and/or aphrodisiacs to keep them from struggling; he could easily subdue them, but it's such a pain. They should be as eager to be with him as he is to he with them!
The aphrodisiacs also help cover up his lack of experience, lol. He also doesn't want to turn them off with that weird grin of his that he's insecure about, so the aphrodisiacs could help with that too. Despite not having much experience, he's a very quick learner. He's observant and has intimate knowledge of human anatomy, after all.
Instead of kidnapping them to take them to his place, he's more likely to move himself into their place. He's constantly on the move and he doesn't like them being alone in a place unfamiliar to them. If they're the type to try and escape, he'll spend as much time as possible "training" them to accept being his spouse: keeping them restrained, daily pricks with drugged needles and tea to keep them compliant, etc.
But he also uses positive reinforcement! Gifts and privileges, affection, anything he can use to entice them into obeying him. He's also VERY good at turning their body against them if they deny his advances. He'll hold them down and in just a few seconds of using his fingers or tongue, they'll go from pushing him and turning away to panting and spreading their legs when he murmurs for them to do so. He can play their body like an instrument, and he insists it's further proof that he's the best suitor they could ever want.
Loooves bondage and shibari. Something about his Darling being tied up, with his ropes and threads hugging their body so exquisitely while they squirm just turns him on so MUCH.
He also likes having them ride him every so often, though he's always the one in control...unless Darling manages to put him in his place. Expect a hell of a fight though, because he is a brat and can move at the speed of sound lmao. Once they submit to him and get a bit of Stockholm Syndrome, he gets so turned on by the way he can beckon them with just one finger and a Look, and they immediately crawl into his lap with a shy smile.
He can get so clingy and needy out of fucking nowhere, again much like a cat. He'll pout if they don't give him enough attention and will interrupt whatever they're doing so they have to give him what he wants. He isn't really used to affection so now that he has a steady supply (from an unwilling participant, but I digress), he'll want to indulge in it when he gets that urge to be pampered.
If you manage to piss him off and disobey him to the point of needing punishment, he is a cold, COLD bastard. Edging with no relief, spanking, tying you up or even using a device like a pillory to humiliate you, berating you, etc. If sexual punishment isn't what you need to stay in line, he'll threaten to kill any and all of your loved ones. All he has to do is show them candid pictures he took of them outside their home, describe their daily routine in detail, and ask quietly if he needs to make them disappear. No? Then that must mean you're going to be good, right?

trigger warning [suicide, drugs, addiction, emotional, physical and s*xu*l ab*se/r*pe, m*rder]
i haven’t been active on here since forever and since i’m in a pretty bad place right now, i finally downloaded tumblr again. crazy to think i had this blog for about nine years (i started it in 2014 i think), back then i was doing pretty bad, struggled with severe depression, daily self-harming and suicidal tendencies but still had the hope that in two, three years things would be better - turns out i was wrong. a lot has changed ever since, i don’t know if it’s for the better or worse. what i can say - i never imagined my life would be like this. in the last three and a half years, things went downhill. it started in march 2020 when my best friend committed suicide. i’ve always been prone to trying out drugs but so far never struggled with addiction. well, when she died, i couldn’t take it anymore. i began taking opioids and benzos every day, luckily i was able to stop after a couple of months, but started smoking daily and haven’t been able to quit ever since. the longest period of time i managed without was three weeks and that was almost two years ago. at least i’m clean a couple of substances i’ve been ab*sing a lot, nowadays i only smoke weed, drink alcohol and do benzos (if i need them), even though my psychiatrist prescribes me those and once in a while i do take other substances, mainly just for fun though.
during that time i was diagnosed with bpd and ptsd since i could only remember one short term traumatic event from 2016. eventually i started to remember that my parents were ab*sing me emotionally and physically back when i was a child. the bpd diagnosis turned out to be completely inaccurate, instead i got diagnosed with complex ptsd (october 2021). every now and then new memories/flashbacks of being s*xu*lly ab*sed occurred but couldn’t pin down when, where or who the abuser was. a bit later flashbacks and dissociative episodes started to have more effects on the body. i didn’t know what that was and it did scare me, especially since i hate not being in control. mid 2022 i finally managed to go see a doctor for these episodes and they diagnosed me with psychogenic non epileptic seizures.
a bit later, a new memory occurred, but something about it was different, this time, i knew the location. it was my parents’ basement. i spoke to both my therapist and my psychiatrist about the flashbacks and they said it’s likely that it actually did happen. since then new memories have been occurring at least once a week or so. then, my therapist left and i had to adjust to someone unknown. in the beginning, it was okayish but after a short time it felt like she wasn’t the right therapist for me. it didn’t seem like she was listening to me or trying to understand me. after thinking about it for some time, i decided to quit therapy and start looking for someone new, better versed.
march this year i had the first appointment with my current therapist, someone who actually knows what they are doing. i started opening up about a couple of symptoms (which i did before, they were not listening though) and it really seemed like she’s trying to learn and understand. a month ago or so she told me that apparently i do have dissociative identity disorder. even though some symptoms were somehow pointing in that direction, i couldn’t believe it. if i’m being honest, i still can’t. on some days i’m scared i’m lying and simulating, on other days i want nothing more than that it all turns out to be a lie.
it’s weird, for such a long time i thought that i had a great childhood (even though i have amnesia for the years up until i was eleven years old) and loving parents. as i got older, i found out that that’s far from being true. my parents have been abusing me emotionally, physically and s*xu*lly ever since i was a young child. sometimes i wonder if there’s even more they hide. there are so many memories/flashbacks of places i’ve never been to, people i’ve never seen in my entire life. someone from the system implied that our body has been sold and still is. quite often i wake up in the morning just to see the body’s got new bruises, some times c*ts as well. my therapist is assuming that certain things still might be happening during the nights and on the weekends. she started talking about escaping these structures, possible punishments from my families side and protected apartments. so many questions are surfacing along with the flashbacks. what confuses me a lot is the fact that a few of my therapists plus my former psychiatrist suspected that all the kinds of ab*se have been happening in my family for many generations. i’m not sure if i ever mentioned it on here - my aunt (my fathers’ sister) was m*rdered a long time ago, beforehand someone r*ped her. my parents told me when i was around ten/eleven years old and i never questioned it or associated it with my family, but now i wonder if they actually told me the truth or if someone of them had something to do with her death. sometimes i wish i never started digging in my past but the point of no return has been crossed, i cannot go back. it’s hard for me to understand what happened, also because most of the trauma just happened to the body, not to me. most of the time i’m complete denial of both the trauma and the did-diagnosis. it can’t be real and i most certainly don’t want it to be real.

Yo if overhaul had the sister reader- do you think reader would be the type to never admit that they're sick/avoid going to the doctor's?- like since they were on their own they avoided it because they couldnt afford it, but then it sorta developed into a phobia... but like what i'm imagining is:
Kai and hari: y/n you look like death, you're going to the doctor's right now
Y/n: *sniffling under 5 heavy winter blankets even though it's the middle of summer* ... i'm fine i just need a nap... this is nothing
And when they get fed up with this back and forth they get Nemoto to use his quirk so she actually admits she's sick
Kai is so annoyed- no, he's so mad at you. Why would you even try to hide your sickness from him? He doesn't understand why you would fear going to the doctor, thinks your little phobia is so stupid.
Until he sees how you react to getting a flu shot for the first time.
You're thrashing about, hitting anyone that would try to pull you towards the doctor, even knocking the needle out of the doctor's hand. Kai told you to calm down, using that grave tone that he only used with you when you were in trouble, but you were inconsolable. Hell, you didn't even listen to Hari's calming voice this time either. Kai felt so embarrased because of you- you had created a ruckus inside the clinic, made a scene.
But when his men finally got ahold of your arms and you began hyperventilating, begging Kai to not let them inject you, crying so hard that you couldn't breathe, that's when Kai realised that something was really wrong with you. He stood still as he watched you pass out in Hari's arms, who was busy yelling at the doctor.
It was a panic attack. You... had a panic attack... because of a needle?
No, there was something deeper than that.
Kai investigated. He had to, and when he found out about what you'd experienced in the past, about how you'd been trafficked across the country, watched the traffickers and a doctor remove the organs of another kid that was taken with you, almost had your organs removed and only managed to escape because there was a shootout between the traffickers and a rival gang.
Kai is sympathetic- he really is, understands how the mere sight of a needle brought back the traumatising memories. So, he doesn't force you to be pricked and injected with sedatives when he thinks you're being rebellious. However, since you refuse to get your flu shots, you're more susceptible to the viral infections and that means big brother Kai has to now take care of you himself, even if his skin crawls at the thought of catching one of the germs, he'll risk it. For you.
This means that Kai is now wrestling you into the bed, covering you with blankets, replacing the heating and cooling pads, shoving the pills down your throat and the food, only resting when you're falling asleep as he reads to you.
But sometimes, you do need the needles. Its your own fault really. If you'd just stayed in your room and behaved like he had told you to instead of trying to escape, scraping your knee against the asphalt. You needed a tetanus shot, and while Kai empathises with you, you're his younger sister who doesn't know whats good for her. He'll have no regrets as he makes Hari use his quirk on you, freezing you in your place, paying no mind to the tears, the pleading look, the pitiful whimpers begging for mercy as he injects you with the vaccine.
Kai will carry you to the sterilised clinic room he had in the base, rocking you in his arms when you make sounds of distress because of how much you hate the room. He'll lay you down on the examination table, lecturing you very softly as he cleans up your wounds and bandages them.
And when you're finally asleep, Kai will look at you with a heavy heart, knowing that you wouldn't be like this if only he hadn't abandoned you that day.
He'll never let go of you again. Ever.

Darling escaping - Mondstadt girls edition
Inspired by a request I got, will do edition for other characters in the future.
Starring: Amber, Eula, Jean, Lisa, Rosaria
Reader is gender neutral
CW: Yandere themes, confinement, drugging
Amber
It’s highly unlikely that Amber will confine you, but if it reaches that point, then she will try to be as understanding as possible. Being kidnapped is hard and stressful, it’s OK if you hit and yell at her, she gets you, you’re scared and anxious, she will let it slide.
The same goes for any failed escape attempts, Amber will maintain that sweet-saccharine-I-am-not-mad-at-you-please-stop-crying-and-screaming persona very well. She will be very mad of course, partially at you, mostly at herself.
She keeps you confined in the cottage in the middle of the forest - Amber, unlike you, has a vast experience of navigating among the wilderness, so she can almost always recapture you with ease, years spent tracking and hunting lending well in her search.
You will have to be quick and clever if you want to escape - you can’t dwell in one place for too long, nor can you leave any mark in hurry - Amber will use them to deduce your path and location.
You will also have to avoid major cities and settlements - Knights of Favonius have a good reputation and Amber is known for her upstanding nature, she can lie to locals that you’re dangerous escaped criminal or confused and troubled victim who wandered to far for their own good, and have you presented on the platter.
Once she drags you back, she will start to think about escape-proofing the cottage. She might also buy a chain, long enough to let you wander in most of the room. Don’t worry she’ll let you out, she just needs to install new sets of locks on every door in your house.
Eula
The day when she finally loses an internal battle and kidnaps you is the day when both you and Eula start to hate her intensely. Just like Amber, she also tries to be understanding, yet it’s hard. She can sometimes snap back or glare at you with that cold look, which will sink your already drowning sympathies even further.
Escape attempts will be met quite poorly, Eula understands that you’re terrified and stressed and don’t want to be anywhere near her, yet it hurts so badly she loses control. She will say a couple of very insidious and bitter things, as she drags you back, her hold on you a tad too forceful not to be painful.
You will most likely be confined in her mansion - Lawrences might be universally despised by all of Mondstadtians, yet they’re also filthy rich and people have a hard time saying no to shiny mora. You will be allowed to wander in a couple of rooms with all the necessities in your reach.
She won’t allow you to have any maids or servants though - her reputation is already low, and letting a third person in on this dangerous secret will definitely be her downfall.
That’s why she wastes no time when she sees rooms she kept you in empty. Eula will bolt out of the house, uncaring how she might look to others as her mind races, searching for your possible routes.
Your best bet is staying inside or close to major settlements. As it was said before, Mondstadtian despise Lawrences, and Eula isn’t an exception to that. She might be a respected Knight of Favonius, but if you act distressed enough others will question her motives and deter her from grabbing you back.
If you somehow happen to be in the wilderness it’s already over for you. Eula spends most of her time outside the city gates, she is very familiar with the terrains and forests, so she navigates them pretty well. No matter how fast or long you run, she will get you back.
Eula will act extra callous and cold after your failed escape, her heart aching at the fact that you were that desperate to be anywhere but with her.
Jean
Jean is far from being an intense yandere, she will confine you only if she believes that you can’t live comfortably by yourself.
One of the perks of being a highly respected acting grandmaster is that no one really questions her decisions. Even Diluc, who left and now despises the knights, acknowledges how responsible and hardworking she is.
She will convince others that you’re mentally unwell, that you need care and patient guidance to even function, and so she will pressure you into becoming her protege.
None of your words about Jean’s true nature will be taken seriously - acting grandmaster is a kind, hardworking and responsible leader, she does everything in the name of others’ well-being. How can you accuse Jean of something like this?
Moreover, your words will be used against you, as she will present them as a proof of your fragile mental state - you must be deeply delusional to think of your caretaker so badly and poorly, blaming her for things she had no hand in.
You will be “gently” reminded to stay with Jean in her own house,a knight always patrolling near the building when she has work to do. Unlike most yanderes, Jean will allow you to freely wander in the house and courtyard, yet nothing more.
If you escape, you should probably head to the next nation, without stopping in any of the Mondstadt settlements - Jean’s reach is far and wide.
She will dispatch the group of knights, ordering them to safely retrieve you back into her arms - “[First] is scared and confused”, she’ll tiredly sigh and ask them to be gentle with you upon your recapture.
She won’t punish you once you’re back, no she will be calm and collected, despite the inner storm - she has to keep the mask up, both for you and others. You will find two knights on the daily patrol though.
Lisa
Lisa can appear very lazy and careless at first glance, but she is far from that. The witch is the best graduate of Sumeru academy in two centuries and an expert at potion making. She’s also very good at her time management and has a spark of ingenuity, which makes your escape highly unlikely.
First of all, you will be pumped full of sedative drugs, if you aren’t compliant and broken enough - Lisa would like to think that you’re all nice and obedient, but she can’t.
She will slip drugs in your food and water, sometimes she will force the syringe needle under your skin, if you realize what she’s doing and start being difficult.
With the substances muddling your mind you will be as helpless and weak as a newborn kitten, unable to make three steps in a straight line.
With you being constantly high Lisa doesn’t have to stress over your escape - she just needs to lock all windows and doors and add a bit of silencing charms so no one can hear your angered screams.
It would be an incredibly simple, yet perfect plan if it wasn’t for drug resistance. Over time your body will start to adapt to the influence of her “potions”, and you will need a higher dose to be rendered helpless and incoherent again.
You will realize this once the terrible mix of withdrawal and clarity of mind hits you. Half-bent and squirming you will slip from your cell and start to run.
It’s highly unlikely you will go far, especially during withdrawal, but your best chance of escaping lies into contacting any human settlement - you will appear very sick and distressed and they’ll have no choice but take you in and let you endure the incoming torture under the safety of the house.
Once your body is clean, you should run, as far as possible, you should also change your clothes - Lisa marked the ones she kept you in with her electro energy, making you easier to detect.
If she gets you back, she’ll start switching between different kinds of sedatives, so you don’t develop resistance. Lisa will also add a couple of locks and a long chain to her purchases.
Rosaria
Rosaria, to her own dismay, doesn’t own any fancy mansion to keep you in, the house that she lives in is small and cramped as she uses the place to just sleep and keep the little of what she owns here.
This house, despite its small size, has a cellar - it’s empty and unused, with cobwebs decorating the corners. It’s perfect for keeping you in, when you’re difficult.
Don’t worry the cellar is the last resort - Rosaria will confide you here, if you act extra defiant and disobedient. On most days, you’re free to wander in that small house, and if you act extra nice, the nun will let you out under her strict supervision.
She will however, install a long chain and cuff it around your leg when she has to leave for a job.
You can run away from her in two instances, when she decides to go for a short walk with you, and when she is away, if you are able to unscrew or loosen the chain enough for your feet to slip.
If you escape during your walk, you better be an excellent runner, because Rosaria is fast. You will have to compete not only in speed, but also endurance and stamina with her, because Rosaria can run for a very long time, especially when she’s chasing you.
If you escape when she’s away your task gets infinitely easier, you’ll just need to make your way to Mondstadt and make your accusations - Rosaria isn’t very popular here, nor does she have a great image, so your words will hold some weight.
Whether she is found guilty or innocent, it will provide enough time for you to leave the city and head for the neighbouring nation.
If Rosaria gets you back, then you can forget about seeing a sunlight for a very long time, she will keep you chained in the cellar for at least two weeks as a punishment.

not my GIF
You weren’t sure what had initially roused you from sleep. Maybe it was the fact that you were used to Bucky’s frame being draped over you, smothering you with his body heat. Whatever had woken you at first, the sound of shattering glass snapped you from your dazed state immediately.
You flew out of the bed and ran towards the bathroom. The light was leaking from underneath the door and when you wrenched it open, you swore under your breath.
Bucky was seated on the floor by the tub, his head in his hands as sobs wracked his chest. The mirror over the sink was smashed, pieces of reflective glass scattered all over the counter and across the floor.
You ignored it, not even noticing as you cut the bottoms of your feet while making your way to him. You knelt beside him and drew him to you, tucking his head under your chin as you ran your hands over his back, trying to calm him down.
“I’m here, Buck.” You murmured as you pressed your lips to his hair. His breathing was coming in ragged gasps as he leaned into you, and you could tell he was still upset. “Do you want to talk about it, honey?”
He just shook his head as another sob ripped out of him, his fingers wrapping in your sleep shirt.
You knew this was all part of the process. Bucky had been working with Bruce and his psychiatrist for 6 months now on identifying and moving past his repressed memories, but damn if it didn’t break you heart every time a new one popped up. This one must have been especially painful, he hadn’t had a breakdown like this in months.
“Sweetie, I’m gonna call Bruce, ok?” He was still a mess, even with you there, and it made you worried.
“No, don’t leave me.” He looked up at you desperately as he leaned against your shoulder, his eyes a startling blue from his tears as he pleaded with you.
“Shit, Bucky.” God, you fucking hated seeing him like this. You felt so helpless. “I can call from here. FRIDAY? Let Banner know we need him, stat.”
“Will do, Y/N.” The AI chirped back at you.
You reached your arm to the sink and turned it on, running a washcloth under the warm water before bringing it back to rest against his forehead.
“Y/N? Bucky? It’s me, Bruce.” You heard Banner call from the front door.
“Yeah, we’re in the bathroom.” You called. Your shoulder was soaked with snot and tears as Bucky continued weeping against you.
“Jesus, what happened?” Bruce hissed when he found you, picking his was through the broken glass as he knelt to examine Bucky, opening his medical case.
“I dunno Bruce, I woke up and found him like this.” You did your best to straighten Bucky up as Bruce took his pulse before pulling back to assemble his otoscope.
“Ok, Barnes, I’m gonna give you a sedative, buddy.” Bruce murmured as he dug in his case again, bringing out a vial and syringe. “I called his doctor when I heard from you and she’s on her way, but she was in Chicago for a conference, so she won’t be in until later this morning. She gave me the ok to calm him down for now.”
You just nodded as you stroked Bucky’s hair, doing your best to distract him as Bruce wound the tourniquet around his arm before plunging in the needle. He released the band before pushing down the plunger, and you felt Bucky relax against you almost immediately.
“I hate this so much, Bruce. I just want to be able to do something for him.”
“You’re doing it, Y/N. I don’t think his recovery would be going so well if he didn’t have you.” He looked down at your feet and winced. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
“What? Oh, fuck.” Now that Bucky wasn’t occupying your attention, the slices on your feet and knees were throbbing.
“I don’t think you need any stitches, but I’m gonna use some skin glue to keep these from opening up repeatedly.” He muttered, rinsing the cuts with a betadine solution before patting them dry with some gauze.
“Thanks Bruce. Can you help me get him back to the bed?” You asked as he finished his work, throwing a towel over the broken glass and shoving it out of the way.
“Sure.” You each put one of his arms over your shoulders and hauled him to his feet, shuffling awkwardly back to the bedroom. “Dr. Laurent should be here around 10, if you could get him to the med center around then?”
“Of course Bruce, thank you so much.”
He just waved you off as he left, closing the door gently behind him. You changed into a new t-shirt and climbed back into bed, curling yourself around Bucky as you tried to fall back asleep, failing miserably.
Tumblr media
  It had been two weeks since Bucky’s breakdown. His nightmares had gotten better, but you could tell he was still upset about things. He was barely talking to you, and he hadn’t initiated sex during that whole period. You could maybe coax some small talk out of him over meals, but you could tell he was avoiding talking to you about what he remembered. All you wanted to do was comfort him and he wasn’t letting you.
Dr. Laurent assured you that they were working through it, but that this particular memory was harder to move past. All you wanted to do was comfort him, but he wouldn’t let you close.
The two of you were sitting together in silence, you were going over some field reports with your feet resting in Bucky’s lap as he read some trash mystery novel that you would usually tease him about. Your phone rang from the coffee table and you stretched to pick it up, grinning when you saw it was your sister.
“Hey Frankie!” You said cheerily as you picked up. “What’s going on?”
Bucky smiled to himself sadly as he listened to you chat with your sister. He felt so guilty about what he was doing to you. You were amazing, and kind, but he was so worried that if he let you all the way in, you’d see what a monster he was and leave him.
“Oh my god, a puppy!?” You squealed, and Bucky felt all the blood drain from his face. “Send me all the pictures! We’ll have to come visit soon and meet him.”
Bucky stood up and walked towards the kitchen, getting himself a glass of water and drinking it down greedily.
“Hey, Frankie, can I call you back tomorrow? Great, love you!” You had picked up on Buck’s change in demeanor and followed after him. “What’s going on?”
“Nothing.” He muttered, filling his glass again and taking a sip.
You let out a deep sigh at his attempt to dodge. You knew you weren’t supposed to push him, but watching him withdraw from you like this was killing you.
“Bucky, please talk to me.” You pleaded, fighting the urge to go to him and wrap your arms around him, drawing all his pain into yourself as you held him tight.
He shook his head at you as he set his glass down on the counter, avoiding making eye contact. “I can’t.”
You took in a sharp breath at the crack in his voice and your resolve broke. You took three steps forward and pressed your body to his, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and bringin his forehead down to lean against yours.
“It’s ok, I’m not going anywhere.” You murmured, bringing up one hand to run through his hair, trying your best to soothe him as you watched tears leak from his eyes.
“Promise?”
“Fuck, of course I promise.” You murmured before pressing your lips softly to his. “Bucky, I’m not going to leave you. I love you.”
He buried his face in your neck and let out a deep sigh, inhaling your scent and letting the warm comfort of your body relax him. You kept stroking his back and hair, waiting for him to speak.
⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
“When I first woke up,” He started after several minutes of silence, still not looking at you. “They would never let me outside. It was almost a year before I saw sunlight. They eventually let me out once they were sure the brainwashing had done its job, but only for a little while. There was…”
He choked on his words and you made soft soothing sounds against his cheek, doing your best to not hold your breath as he opened up to you, worried you were going to spook him like a baby deer.
“There was this tiny stray mutt I found on the compound one day. It was hiding in a little hole in the wall with an injured paw, scared of everything. I managed to sneak out some of my rations the next day for him, and did the same thing for the next week. He wouldn’t take the food from me directly, but I would leave it for him, and it would all be gone when I came back.
“It took a few weeks before he would take the food from my hand, and a couple more before he would let me pet him. Seeing that little guy was the best part of my day. The only break I had from the fighting and the torture. Sometimes he’d crawl into my lap and curl up, and those were the days I thought about making a run for it.” Bucky finally looked at you, giving you a sad smile as he pressed his forehead to yours again before screwing his eyes shut. “I named him Vladik.
“I don’t know why it took them so long to figure out he was there. The guards were supposed to be watching my every move. I wasn’t supposed to have anything for myself, no happiness or solace. And that was all he was. Just a harmless little friend. But the Soldat couldn’t have any friends.
“When the doctor in charge of my programming found out, he told me to bring him the dog, and he… he made me…”
⚠️END TRIGGER WARNING⚠️
He started sobbing before he could finish, and you felt tears running down your own cheeks as you held him tightly, the two of you sinking to the floor as Bucky wept in your arms. You curled yourself around him, wishing you could do something to just take all of that pain from him.
It was an hour before either of you moved. You were stiff from leaning against the counter for so long, but until Bucky started to straighten up, you didn’t even notice. He drew you up after him and you moaned as you unfolded yourself, your legs tingling as blood rushed back into them.
“I love you so much, Y/N.” He whispered against your hair with a heavy sigh, drawing you into another deep embrace. “Fuck, I’m exhausted.”
“I love you too, honey.” You murmured, pressing your lips to his forehead. “I’ll be right there.”
You left him to strip out of his clothes as you headed to the bathroom, locking the door behind you as you splashed cold water on your face, trying to keep yourself from having a meltdown.
You were so relieved he had finally opened up to you. But every fiber of your being just wanted to fix all of this, and the fact that you couldn’t was killing you. You choked back a sob as you bent over the sink, bile rising in your throat. It took you a few minutes to fully calm down, but you got your emotions under control with some deep breathing.
You splashed your face a few more times before heading back out to the bedroom. Bucky was still up, sitting on the edge of the bed as he waited for you. He gave you a small smile as you walked toward him, wrapping his arms around your middle and nuzzling his face against your stomach.  You moaned as he started to lift your shirt, pressing his lips to your skin softly as his fingers traveled to brush against your breast, squeezing it gently.
He held you tightly and turned his body until you were laying on the bed underneath him. He crawled up your torso slowly until his face was hovering above yours. His vibranium palm cupped your cheek softly as he gazed into your eyes before bending to kiss you, his mouth needy against yours as he bit at your lips before pressing his tongue to yours, drawing a whine from your throat.
Bucky ran his hand down your throat before his fingers started working to unbutton your blouse. He made quick work of it and his mouth moved to your neck as he slid it down your shoulders. You gasped and moved your hands to wind in his hair as he unclasped your bra and wrapped his lips around your nipple, sucking softly and swirling his tongue around it until it was peaked and sensitive. Your cunt clenched around nothing as he moved to your other nipple, and you wrapped your legs around his waist as he continued to move down your body.
His tongue dipped into your navel as he worked at undoing your jeans, pulling them down your legs swiftly along with your panties before diving between your legs.
He had missed this. Those soft sounds of want you made were a panacea for his wounds, soothing his heart as he moved his lips over your sex, his tongue running through your folds as he lapped up your arousal. You arched into his mouth when he pressed against your clit, your hands digging into his hair as his hands gripped your thighs, keeping you spread open for him.
He moaned against you as you wriggled beneath him, your back arching and relaxing as he brought you closer to your release. You grip on his hair was bordering on painful as you tightened it, and he relished your loss of control as you fought to close your thighs around his head and press him even closer.
“Mmm, Bucky!” You moaned as he wrapped his lips around your clit, sucking softly. He finally released your legs and you wrapped them around his neck as he pushed two metal fingers into you, making you yelp.
He scissored his fingers inside you, stretching your canal as he drew obscene squelches from deep within you. He loved the feel of your pussy clenching and fluttering around him, trying to draw his fingers even deeper inside you as he edged you towards your climax.
When he curled them against that sweet, secret spot within you, you lost it. Your heels duck into his shoulders and your back arched you off the bed violently as you clamped down on his fingers. You screamed as your release flowed into his mouth, making him moan as it covered his chin. He licked his lips as he straightened above you, savoring the taste of you on his tongue. It tasted like home.
He gazed down at you lovingly as he removed his boxers, kicking them away before bending to kiss you deeply. Bucky kept his mouth on yours as he crawled onto the bed, tucking his knees under your thighs as he pressed one palm against the small of your back, drawing you up to straddle his lap.
“I love you so fucking much.” He whispered against your lips, running his fingertips through your hair before his tongue was invading your mouth, curling against and tangling with yours as he stole all the breath from your lungs. His metal hand curved over your ass as he ground his hips into you, running his cock through your slick folds. “I need to hear you say it, please doll.”
“God, Bucky. I love you.” You panted as he positioned himself at your entrance, making you whine as he breached you with just his tip. Your fingers dug into his shoulders as he pulled you onto him and you hissed through your teeth as you stretched around his length, relishing in the sting you felt each time he entered you.
“Never leave me.” He pleaded as his hips started moving, his thrusts slow and sensuous as he stared deeply into your eyes, watching your face contort with pleasure as you lost yourself in the feeling of being filled with him.
“Never.” You murmured as he buried his face against your neck. “Fuck, baby.”
Your head rolled back as he picked up the pace just barely, his pubic bone grinding against your clit with each thrust and bringing you close to your edge. He nuzzled himself between your breasts and mouthed against your soft slopes gently as you tightened one hand around the back of his neck.
One particularly forceful drive had you falling backwards with a gasp. You managed to catch yourself on one arm and you pressed your toes against the mattress on either side of his hips, doing your best to keep your balance as your pussy clenched around him.
“Fuck, right there.” You whispered, your nails digging into his neck.
He brushed his teeth against your nipple and you almost collapsed against the bed, but Bucky wrapped his arms around you and held you tightly to him as your body spasmed uncontrollably, quivering in his grasp as your pussy fluttered and your release seeped out of you, soaking both of your thighs.
“You feel so good doll.” He murmured against your chest as he kept fucking into you, still moving in rich, deep plunges that made it hard for you to breathe. “So tight and warm. I fucking lose myself in this pussy.”
All you could do was whine as you wrapped your legs around his waist and gripped his neck tightly. You took in a sharp breath when he suddenly lifted himself off his knees and pushed even deeper into you, his cock hitting a new spot inside you that had you seeing stars. He gripped his hands tightly at the small of your back as he ground against you.
He hit you at just the right spot and you came again, wrapping your arms around his neck and burying your face in his hair as your body vibrated against his. He inhaled your scent with a moan as he fell forward, catching himself on his vibranium hand before he collapsed on top of you.
You kept your body wrapped tightly around his as he held you in that position with one arm, carrying all of your weight as his hips started moving violently, slapping against the back of your thighs as soft wet sounds came from between the two of you. It only took a few thrusts before you were cumming again, screaming against Bucky’s neck as the coil in your stomach snapped, your muscles finally giving out as you rode the wave of your pleasure, your body rolling underneath him as you released his neck and he let you sink back onto the bed, your arms falling above your head and your feet coming to rest on either side of his knees.
Bucky kept one arm hooked under the small of your back, arching your body at a beautiful angle as his hips started to stutter, his cock twitching inside of you as he neared his own end.
“Gimme one more doll.” He whispered, mesmerized by the way your tits bounced with each thrust of his hips, and the way your face had that blissful, fucked out look as you bit your lip and screwed your eyes shut.
He ground his hips in a circle with his next thrust and smiled as your body tried to curl off the bed. You sobbed as you came, crying his name as your thighs squeezed his hips and your cunt milked his cock. He collapsed on top of you as he came right behind you, his spend shooting into harshly, painting your canal in thick white ropes as his hips stilled.
You held him to you tightly, refusing to let him go as the two of you drifted off to sleep. All you wanted was to rest with him inside you, and he needed to feel you around him, to let you know that you were his home, his haven against all the pain of his past. You smiled as you felt his breath grow deep with sleep, your hand resting on his back as your own slumber took you.
Tumblr media
  Bucky made a lot of progress over the next few weeks. Telling you had lifted a weight from his shoulders that he didn’t realize he was carrying. His sleep was still interrupted by nightmares occasionally, but every time he woke up to find you next to him was like a balm for his soul.
He was finally starting to feel truly happy, and that made you happy. Dr. Laurent had finally given the ok for him to start going on missions again, and that was great, but he really found fulfillment at home with you, and the best part of his day was when he walked through the front door to find you waiting for him.
You were excited for Valentine’s Day. It felt like the first holiday you could really enjoy as a couple as he had made so much progress. You were thankful that Steve had kept him occupied all day, giving you a chance to work on your present for him. He was out for a run in the rain right now as you put the final touches on the meal, reviewing the recipe a final time as you set the table, shrugging to yourself and lighting the candles.
You almost dropped your match when you heard him open the front door, cursing as you narrowly avoided setting the tablecloth on fire.
“In here baby!” You called as he came inside, shaking himself from the rain. “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
“Aww, doll, this looks… is that aspic?” He asked, one eyebrow cocked as he eyed the meal you had set out for him.
“Sure is!” You said with a grin as you eyed the brown, gelatinous entrée, doing your best to tamp down your nausea. “Steve said it was your favorite back in the day, so I decided to surprise you.”
“Steve?” He asked, a grin spreading over his face as he ran his fingers through his hair. “You asked Rogers what to get me for Valentine’s Day?”
You studied the look on his face and looked back at the meal, considering things.
“That motherfucker.” You said as he broke down, laughing hysterically. “I’m going to murder that giant.”
“I can’t believe you thought I would actually like this!” He said, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“I dunno, the 30s were a weird time!” You cursed yourself in your mind for being so gullible. “Well shit, I wasted a whole day. I’m ordering Chinese.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself doll, it’s the thought that counts.” He said, giving you a mock pout before wrapping his arms around you and kissing your hair. You yelped when you felt something move in his hoody.
“What the fuck, Barnes?” You screeched as his pocket squirmed, something inside it making a tiny squeaking sound.
“Uhh, don’t be mad.” He said sheepishly as he tucked his hand into his pocket and drew out a tiny, white kitten who was screaming bloody murder. “I found her in a ditch when I was on my run, and it didn’t seem like her mother was anywhere nearby. I didn’t want to just leave her out there.”
“Oh my fucking god, Bucky!” You reached out and he handed her to you. You wrapped your hands around her loosely and cradled her against her chest. “We need a heating pad.”
“What?” He asked confused for a second.
“She’s barely a week old honey, she can’t regulate her own body temperature, go get my heating pad from the bathroom.”
“So, we’re keeping her?” He asked, a grin spreading over his face as he rushed into the bathroom.
“Of course we’re keeping her Barnes.” You scoffed at him. “FRIDAY, we need kitten milk replacer as soon as possible, and specialty feeding bottles for newborns. And get a vet here too.”
“On it, Y/N. There’s a house call veterinarian that can be here in one hour, and the rest of your supplies should arrive within 30 minutes.”
“Thanks FRIDAY.” You were making soft cooing noises at the baby as Bucky came back into the room with the heating pad, and he practically groaned at the smile you gave him.
“Happy Valentine’s day, doll.” He murmured as he kissed your hair and wrapped one arm around you, handing you the heating pad.
“Happy Valentine’s day, Buck.” You whispered back at him. “What should we name her?”
“What do you think of Alpine?”

Tumblr media
“Miss y/l/n, we only want to know about your brother.” The man in front of you explains. You were seated across from him at the steel table, inside a room without windows. If you weren’t freaking out about your brother, you might have been freaking out about being enclosed in a room that you couldn’t get out of or see a way out and wonder if the walls were suddenly getting smaller. 
They’d brought you in only a couple hours ago. The BAU team had entered your workplace and cornered you at your desk, basically ordering you to come with them or you’d be arrested. So, you did as you were told. However, you’d seen this before and you weren’t going to speak to them about anything especially if it could be used against you or your brother later on. 
There were men close to your age that had turned up dead in ditches and for some reason your brother was their number one suspect because his DNA is on one of the victims. Your brother, a murderer? There was no way. He was protective of you, his little sister, but he wasn’t that protective, not a murdering type because you looked at my sister wrong kind of guy. 
“When is the last time you spoke to him?” You’d learned the name of the man across from you. Agent Hotchner. 
Your arms remained crossed over your chest as you said nothing. You didn’t even make contact with him. He’d been in here for almost half an hour and you could tell the man was growing impatient. 
He gave a hard sigh and finally stood, “Fine you won’t speak, we’ll just have to find another way to get you to talk.” As he neared the exit, he added, “How about I bring in one of your exes? James? I think he is on your emergency contact list.” And with that he slammed the door shut behind him. 
And suddenly the room grew smaller.
“Hotch, you can’t threaten her with an ex boyfriend.” Spencer defends, “That’s wrong and you know it.” 
“She won’t speak, what else am I supposed to do?” Hotch tosses the file on the table next to him in frustration, “She has to speak at some point. We have a deadline before the next body shows up and we need information on her brother to find him.” 
“Let me try-” Spencer started, but when he looked through the window into the interrogation room, he knew something was wrong. 
You were panicking and breathing heavily as the walls continued to close in. Your ex boyfriend couldn’t come here. He couldn’t know where you were. 
Spencer rushed into the room, “hey hey, breath.” He pulled you and your chair out from the table so you were in the open and facing him, “Just breath, what’s wrong?” 
“The walls. The walls are..” You choked out and Spencer knew. 
“Open that door.” He instructs the guard before turning his attention back to you, “Breath in and out with me.” Spencer takes in a few deep breaths and you follow along, finally calming down. 
“Get her some water and keep that door open.” Spencer looks you over once more, “And get the cuffs off her. She’s claustrophobic. There’s no need for the cuffs. She’s not a suspect.” 
Your grateful for the man in front of you, “Thank you.” You say quietly as he unlocks the cuffs from your wrists. 
His eyes meet yours, “We’ll keep the door open from now on. Is that alright?” 
You nod, “there’s no windows.. the room just kept getting smaller.” 
He hands you the cup of water, “I know, it’s alright. May I sit in here with you?” He motions to the free seat across from you. 
You answer with a nod and take a sip of your water. You were finally calmed enough to take in the man who’d saved you. His hair was a mess on the top of his head, but it worked for him. He wore a button up shirt with a vest and a tie around his neck. You read the badge clipped to his shirt, SSA Spencer Reid. 
“I’m Dr. Spencer Reid by the way.” 
“You look a little young to be a doctor.” You say quietly. 
He chuckles, “I get that a lot.” He points to the shirt your wearing, “Las Vegas. I’m from there.” 
“Went for my 21st birthday. My parents took my brother and I.” 
“It’s a great place. However, I’m banned from casinos there.” 
“Banned?” You laugh, “What could you have possibly been banned for?” 
“Um.. being too good at cards.” He chuckles. 
“Ah you were costing them money? Yeah I can see why you’d be banned.” 
The two of you continued to make small talk. Spencer took a friendly approach instead of Hotch’s aggressive approach and you seemed to open up more to him. From the entire 30 minutes he’d sat with you, he’d managed to find out more than Hotch did and found out that you weren’t great with men who shown aggression. He confirmed that theory when Hotch had walked in and asked you a couple questions but you’d shut down and didn’t say a word. 
“We only want to find your brother. His DNA is on one of the victims shirts.” Spencer explains as he opens the file in front of you. He wanted to get you comfortable with him before going straight into the case and it’s details,  “If he is innocent, great, we’ll prove it. But we have to find him first.” 
You nervously looked over the few photos of the men and recognized one, “That’s Brad. I went on a date with him the other night. It.. it didn’t end good and my brother had stepped in.” You look up at Spencer, “Is that who had his DNA?” 
Spencer gives a nod, glancing back at the window where the team were already listening and watching. 
“My brother had to.. he had to stop the guy. He made some advances when I got home and wouldn’t stop so my brother stepped in to help. He’d never.. kill these men.” 
“Can someone confirm that? And confirm your brother had an alibi the nights these men went missing?” 
You quickly nod, “My brother’s girlfriend and her niece. The three of us live together and her niece was there with us over the weekend. And also our neighbors. They can confirm my brother was home because he spoke with them while bringing up groceries.” 
“This is great information. Let me go talk with the team.” 
It was only a little while later that Spencer was back in the room, “You’re free to go.” 
“My brother?” 
“He’s cleared of anything. He’s no longer a suspect.” Spencer hands you your things they had confiscated at the door. 
“Thank you.” You give a grateful smile, “And for being so kind during all of this.” 
“Of course.” He apologizes for Hotch’s behavior, “he’s used to taking that aggressive approach with other unsubs. He sometimes forgets that it doesn’t work with everyone.” He motions to the door, “I’ll walk you out.” 
The two of you walk out of the room and through the police department, “Well, I hope you catch the man who did this.” 
“I believe we will. It could also be a woman. Statistically when the victims are men, 85% of the time the killer is a woman.” He notices the look on your face and blushes, “Sorry, I like statistics and sometimes I get overly excited.” 
“It’s fine.” You laugh, “I’ll see you around, Dr. Spencer Reid...” 
He watches as you walk out the door and he makes it look like he wasn’t watching you leave when you glance back at him, however, he runs right into the water dispenser, almost knocking it over.

The Widow and the Wolf - Chapter 1
Tumblr media
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x dark!exWidow!reader
Summary: After Natasha Romanoff took down the Red Room, the former Widows scattered to the wind. Raised to be a killing machine and released into the world with nothing and no one, you decided to use your newfound autonomy to take down the bad guys of your choosing. But now Natasha is riddled with guilt for leaving you on your own. She wants to recruit you, rehabilitate you, make you part of a team again. But the rest of the squad has reservations, and no one is more against you than Bucky Barnes.
Warnings: Graphic violence; Mentions of domestic violence, rape, pedophilia, human trafficking, child sex trafficking; eventual Dubcon (not Bucky); eventual smut; slow(ish) burn enemies-to-lovers. [More warnings will be added as necessary but these are the Big Bads.] 18+ only, no minors.
A/N: This is canon-adjacent in that I just decided to pick and choose who I wanted to write for and what parts of canon I wanted to use. Best not to think too hard about where it falls on the timeline because the canon is a mess and we all kind of hate it anyway.
If you prefer to read on AO3, you can do so here.
Chapter One
You’ve been tracking him for days, not that it was hard. His patrol schedule is always the same, as is his after-hours routine: drinks at the Irish pub on Reade Street with the other boys in blue. It’s a cop bar but you waltz right in, looking lost even though you know the name, rank, and various misdeeds of every guy in the place. He looks at you, because of course he does—his wife assured you that he has a wandering eye, among his other sins.
You take a seat at the bar. “Double vodka rocks, please.”
The bartender pours you your drink and you take a deep pull, savoring the burn of it. Then you wait, but it doesn’t take long—it never does. Sergeant Thompson sidles up to the barstool next to you.
“Hey darlin,” he says, his breath reeking of cheap beer. “You lost?”
You turn to him with an innocent smile. “Evening, officer.”
“It’s Sergeant,” he says, tapping his badge, “but I won’t hold that against you. So, what’s a pretty young thing doing in a dive bar with a bunch of old men?”
“I was supposed to meet a friend for dinner but she bailed on me. Figured I’d grab a drink before I head home.”
“And where is home?” he asks, not that it’s any of his business, but cops think they deserve answers to any questions they feel like asking.
“Williamsburg,” you lie.
“You’re pretty far from home, then,” he replies, even though you both know that you aren’t. He takes a sip of his beer and the foam leaves a trace like a mustache before he licks it clean. “It’s late. Why don’t you let me drive you? Wouldn’t want you on the subway this time of night.”
“It’s only 8:30,” you say. “I think I’ll be just fine.”
He leans in conspiratorially. “Well, I really shouldn’t be telling you this—open investigation and all that—but we’ve been on the lookout for a guy in the area, serial rapist, real nasty piece of work.”
That’s one thing the two of you have in common at least.
“I’d feel a lot better if you’d let me take you home, darlin.”
“I suppose it couldn’t hurt,” you admit. “Can’t get much safer than the NYPD, right?”
He laughs and so do you, knowing that nothing is farther from the truth—especially when it comes to this guy.
Sergeant Thompson speeds across the Williamsburg Bridge with his flashers on, headed toward the address you gave him. Of course, that’s not actually your address—you don’t have a home anymore—it’s just one of many rundown warehouses in the neighborhood, variously used for impromptu raves and as drug dens and, in your case, a private place in which you can take care of business without fear of being interrupted.
“This is me,” you say, waiting for him to let you out of the back of the cruiser where he insisted you ride—caged in like a helpless animal, or so he thinks.
“This place?” he asks. “Looks like it’s about to collapse.”
“You’d be surprised what they can do to these places on the inside—gentrification and what have you. My rent is astronomical.”
“Still,” he says, “I’d like to walk you up. Looks a bit unsavory.”
“If you insist, Sergeant.”
The second you get up the stairs to the top floor, you inject him with the etorphine, straight into the jugular, and down he goes. It never gets old—how easy it is, when they think that they are the predator and you are the prey. You drag him into the loft where you’re already set up for a long night’s work.
When he comes to, he’s fixed to the chair with (among other things) his own handcuffs, mouth taped shut and a rag shoved in for good measure. You don’t want to hear him talk; it’s time for him to listen. His day of reckoning has come. He starts to squirm but between the cuffs and the duct tape and the sedative still coursing through his veins, he’s not going anywhere. Even if he did get free, you could take him down easy. It’s what you were trained for. It’s what you were born for.
“Welcome back, Sergeant,” you say, and he screams something unintelligible through the rag which, if you had to guess, would be some combination of “cunt” or “bitch” or any of the other choice words he likes to use on his women.
The tarps are laid meticulously around the room, placed strategically to catch any and all evidence of what you’re about to do. When he notices them, he goes still, because he knows. Part of him knows.
“So,” you say, pulling out the Thompson file, “this is quite the impressive resume you’ve got here, Sarge. Lots of civilian brutality complaints, including a few choice allegations from female prisoners. Oh, and then there’s the domestic violence and marital rape. You’re a real charmer, huh?”
There’s more muffled screaming but you ignore it—the last gasps of a dying man.
“Here’s the thing, Sarge. I know you think that you’re above the law, because you are the law, but you aren’t. Your wife is real tired of your shit, and me? Well, let’s just say that my motto is protect and serve.” You lean in close enough to smell the salty sweat on his brow. “And unlike you, I actually mean it.”
You pull your favorite knife from your thigh holster and slit him from ear to ear. “See you in hell, Sergeant.”
You sit on the edge of the table, swinging your legs and watching him bleed out. It doesn’t take long. The actual disposal is the real work. You set about chopping him into manageable pieces and you find yourself missing the days when you didn’t have to cover your tracks alone, when there was a clean-up team to take care of it for you.
But you’re freelance now. You’re not a Widow anymore. She made sure of that.
Sometimes—like right now, when you’re dripping sweat and every muscle in your body is screaming its exertion as you saw through bone after bone—you hate Natasha Romanoff. You know why she did what she did; you understand that, objectively, it was the right thing to do. But did she ever stop to consider the repercussions of her actions? She got out early and found a new family and became one of the Good Guys. But you? You entered the Red Room with nothing and you left with nothing.
They always said you were born to be a killer. It’s all you’ve ever known. So what exactly did she expect you to do? You may be free of the mind control, but you never had the chance to develop a mind of your own. Killing is all you know. At least now you get to pick your own targets.
Once you’ve got Sergeant Thompson all squared away, you pack him up in the trunk of his cruiser and drive upstate, listening to the 80s station you like. It occurs to you that most people have heard these songs a thousand times—so many times that they know the lyrics instinctively, can sing them without even having to think about it. It’s all new to you, though. You can’t decide whether it makes you sad to think about all you’ve missed or whether you’re lucky that you get to experience for the first time what everyone else is already tired of.
When you get to the farm, you dump Thompson in the holes you’ve already backhoed, then you hop on the Cat and fill them all in. You shoot a text to Mrs. Thompson from your burner—just a thumbs-up emoji—and she replies with a smiley face. It was only so long before he would have killed her; she knows it as well as you do. The only people that will grieve the dearly departed Sergeant Thompson are a bunch of assholes who are one false move from ending up in your web.
You didn’t charge Mrs. Thompson your usual rate—just what she could afford without drawing the attention and ire of the Mister. Sometimes, depending on the circumstances, you even work pro bono. After all, you only kill people for money who you would happily kill for free. You consider it a service, something for the greater good of society. You’ll take money, sure—you need it to live and to continue your work—but not from people who can’t easily spare it.
You have standards. You have a code. That’s the difference between the you that served as a mindless weapon wielded by others and the you that decides for yourself how to use the gifts you’ve been given. No women. No children. No collateral damage. Only Very Bad Men who’ve done Very Bad Things. You don’t see the harm in it, not really, and as you settle into bed you come back to the thought you often have before a fitful night of sleep: who’s the real avenger, Natasha?
*****
Natasha wipes her brow and throws the rag down on the mat, grabbing a bottle of water and chugging half of it before she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. Bucky has barely broken a sweat from their morning sparring session, and he doesn’t even try to fake it. He’s in an especially grumpy mood.
“This is a bad idea, Natasha.”
“To some people, maybe,” she says, “but I want to bring her in anyway. I don’t understand how you of all people are against me on this, Bucky.”
“Uh, for starters, she’s a serial killer.”
“That’s a bit of a harsh assessment, considering the circumstances. And do I really need to remind you that the same could be said about the two of us? That a lot of people still say that about us?”
Bucky sighs, because he knows she’s right, but this is different—you are different. “It’s not the same,” he grumbles, but he’s not entirely sure it isn’t, and that’s what’s really bothering him.
“Look,” Nat says, taking a step toward Bucky, “I need to try, ok? I know what she’s going through because I went through it, except she’s completely alone out there with nothing and no one. You and I… we had people behind us, helping us.”
“And what if she says no?” Bucky asks. “Are you just gonna let her go on doing what she’s doing? She’s killed… how many is it now?”
Natasha mutters something under her breath and Bucky looks at her expectantly. “What was that, Tasha?”
“25 people in the last 6 months,” she states, her mouth set in a hard line.
“Exactly,” he says.
“I would like to point out that they were all very bad people. So...”
“Tasha,” he says, and he puts his hand up to silence her. “I can’t help you on this. I’m sorry. I want to, but I can’t.”
Natasha huffs out a laugh. “You know what, Barnes? You’re real high and mighty for a guy who–”
Natasha stops herself when she sees the ice-cold look in Bucky’s eyes. “Go on. For a guy who what?”
“Nothing,” she says. “I’m sorry. I’ll go on my own.”
“Well, good luck to you. Hope you don’t get your throat slit.”
Bucky stomps off and Natasha is left wondering if she’s about to make a huge mistake. She knows you’re volatile, that a part of you must resent her, but she needs to make it right. At the very least, she needs to try.
Natasha grabs her tablet and scrolls through the latest intel on your whereabouts. She’s just missed you in New York, but she thinks she’s got a jump on your next target: some coke dealer down in Miami with a predilection for underage girls. Just a brief glance at this guy’s file is enough to make Natasha’s blood run cold. She knows why you do what you do. If she’s honest, it doesn’t bother her one bit that you’re doing it. It’s the thought of you out there on your own, filled with hate and anger and thirsty for bloody vengeance, that frightens her. Because maybe one day—left to your own devices, lost in the chaos of your troubled mind—getting the Bad Guys won’t be enough for you. Maybe you’ll decide that some of the Good Guys aren’t so good after all. Maybe you’ll even be right.
She contemplates being honest with Steve and telling him where she’s headed but decides against it. Steve isn’t on board with her plan. Natasha doesn’t fault him for it—he doesn’t understand, he couldn’t. Bucky, though... that’s a disappointment, and it surprises her. If anyone knows what it feels like to spend your life as someone else’s weapon, it’s Bucky Barnes.
Natasha waits until nightfall to “borrow” the Quinjet, and she finds Bucky waiting for her when she gets to the hangar.
“I’m coming with you,” he says, “but only as back-up. She’s dangerous, Natasha.”
“Maybe so,” Natasha replies, “but only because she’s afraid.”
*****
You knew that she’d be coming for you sooner or later. Might as well get it over with. Your little stilt cabin on the outskirts of the Everglades isn’t quite set up for company but at least it’s tucked away and difficult to access. You’re surprised she brought him, though—that was a mistake. You and she could have a nice long conversation, but you have nothing to say to the Soldat.
You climb up the tree to your lookout platform and hoist your sniper rifle onto your shoulder, following their slow but steady progress through the knee-deep swamp water, trying to line up a decent shot as they weave in between the bald cypress trees. When you see your chance, you take it, and you put one about an inch from where the Soldat’s metal arm meets the flesh of his shoulder. It ricochets off, as intended, and he jumps forward to shield Natasha. You hear her laugh through your earpiece.
“Relax, Barnes. It was a warning shot. If she wanted to hit you, she would have.”
“She did hit me,” he snaps.
You smile as you descend from the tree to meet them.
“Well well well,” you say. “If it isn’t the Murder Twins. To what do I owe this unwanted visit?”
“You know why I’m here,” Natasha says.
“Yes,” you reply, “but why is he here?”
The man she calls Barnes looks at you with disdain and you give it right back to him. You can tell that shot in the arm really pissed him off and it pleases you to no end.
“He’s just watching my back,” she says. “That’s what happens when you’re on a team.”
“Right, The Avengers. How adorable.”
“Listen,” Natasha begins, but you stop her.
“Let me save you the trouble of whatever little speech you have prepared. I’m not coming with you. I’m not going to Widow rehab and joining your ragtag group of misfits. And I’m not going to stop doing my work just because you come here and bat your eyes and smile pretty at me.”
“Your work?” spits the Soldat. “Is that what you’re calling it?”
“Bucky, don’t-”
“Let him talk, Romanoff,” you say. “He obviously has some… opinions. Now that he’s got the mask off, he can finally speak for himself.” You take a step towards him, your rifle in hand but not pointed at him. “So speak, Soldat.”
He looks flustered and not a little bit angry. You can tell he doesn’t like to be called by that name. “Killing people isn’t work,” he says.
You huff out a laugh. “And what is it that the two of you do, exactly? Run a coffee shop?”
“We are not the same,” he says, and you smile because you know that he doesn’t actually believe that—how could he after everything he’s done?
“I think we are exactly the same, Soldat, with one huge exception: you’re still letting other people tell you what to do, and I’m done with all that.”
“This is pointless,” he says.
“Now that is something you and I actually agree on.” You turn to Natasha. “You should go while you still can. I have work to do.”
But Natasha just won’t let it go. “I should never have left you alone,” she says. “This is my fault. Let me fix it.”
“I don’t need to be fixed,” you snap, and you raise your rifle and point it directly at her head. “Leave, Natasha. And take your little pet with you.”
The Soldat grabs her arm gently. “Let’s go, Tasha. She’s hopeless.”
You feel a pang of something then—some indescribable form of melancholy. You try to keep it off your face but you can tell from the look in his eyes that he sees it. A minute tremble of your lip, the quick double blink—it gives you away, and now you’re really pissed off.
“Leave. Now,” you yell, and it pierces through the sweltering darkness. “I’ll make you sorry if you don’t.”
You watch Natasha and the bionic man make their way out of the swamp. You don’t turn your back on them, not that you think they’ll try to take you by force. That would be unwise and Natasha knows it. Once you’re satisfied that they’re gone, you return to the cabin. The bloodied man in the linen suit lays strapped to the bed where you left him, squirming and shouting around the gag in his mouth.
You have to stop yourself from making this a messy affair, but the anger you feel—at her, at him, at everything—is making it difficult to temper your darker urges. You’re not one for torture, even though this man absolutely deserves it for the horrible things he’s done. You almost give in, but you remind yourself that this is a job—it is work, despite what the Soldat may think—and you have to remain professional.
You grab the man’s file off the desk and pull a chair up next to the bed. “So, Mr. Garcia, where were we?”

Maybe other ones opinions matter more to you than ours
Pairing Katsuki Bakugou x female reader x Eijirou Kirishima
Genre : angst to fluff and comfort at the end.
WC and warnings : 1.5 k / Polyrelationship, Angst, feeling down, abandon, injury, mention of hospital and sedative. Please be careful reading this, and skip it if you're insecure or sensitive, you'll just get hurt. Please be careful.
Note : Hey everyone, I am back ! I am sorry, I wasn't on hiatus so I didn't warned you, I was just sick and trying to recover. And now that I am totally healed, I promise that I'll catch all your requests up quickly ! Today's work is @d3nk1x's request. I am sorry it took my like forever to achieve it, really sorry. I hope that you’ll like it, please let me know, and feel free to ask anything else. I kinda like your requests :)
Requests are still open, and since my college year is over, I am totally free to write whenever I want. And I am bored a bit, so please send many requests if you want, I will be happy to oblige !
Tumblr media
The heart has its reasons which Reason knows nothing of… What was sure is that you loved them, from the bottom of your heart. But it wasn’t enough for you to be completely at ease with the relationship that you, Eijirou and Katsuki are entertaining. Well, such relations aren’t usual and you prefer to keep it for you. What would it be if people, even your friends, discover this part of your intimacy and feel free to criticize, or worse to judge you and to deprecate it… Would your ‘couple’ survive all of this ? You prefer not to take the risk. A happy life is a discreet one.
But, your significant others are not on the same page. Like, for the boys, you’re all adults and old enough to make your own choices. You chose them, you brought them together, so why couldn’t you assume this decision ? Why three people in love would be so odd ? This subject was the only point of contention for you, that comes up more and more often. Like tonight.
The three of you were in Katsuki’s room, for the usual nightly cuddles. To have some affection before going to sleep, each one in his own dorm room. For the other students not to notice, Eijirou is the first to leave, and after a couple of minutes, you follow him. But tonight, the guys made a big deal out of it. You argue, explaining again for like the thousandth time your position.
“I just… I just don’t feel comfortable with people knowing that I am in love with two guys. Maybe it’s okay for you to share the same girlfriend, but this isn’t was girls do.”
“And who cares about other girls ? They just don't know what they are missing !”
Eijirou winked at you, trying to make you laugh and give it all up as a joke, but you weren’t laughing. He sighed, and let your mutual boyfriend try. And he did. Like Katsuki really tried. He took your hand, and made you look at his crimson stare.
“Please, Y/n. Let us love you in full view of everyone. I am tired, we’re both tired of paying attention to our reactions around you. We just want to give you all the attention you deserve and the love you generate at any time, not bottling it up or botch it between two training sessions. I don’t want to hide anymore, because this means we’re doing something wrong. And we’re not. So please.”
He’s meaning what he’s saying, and you know it. Katsuki Bakugou ain’t one to beg, for anything. But even if this was the sweetest and the most romantic thing he has ever told you, you can’t overcome your fear. Which deeply hurt the boys in front of you. The ash blond haired released your hand.
“Maybe other ones opinions matter more to you than ours”
Usually, when he’s this rude, Eijirou stands up for you, but today he’s way too hurt and he agrees with Katsuki. Too many words jostle on your tongue, but none were sufficient for you to express how you’re feeling. With obvious teary eyes, you stand up and leave quickly before bursting in cries. You try to convince yourself that you’re feeling this way because they’ve been harsh on you, pressuring you like this, but you can’t fool yourself. Nothing hurts like the truth.
But you made it. You managed to sleep, and in the morning, you decide that you’re moving forward and as usual, leave the situation as it is. But you quickly notice that it’s not the case for Eijirou and Katsuki. When you went for breakfast, they were already done and heading to their own classes. Usually, you have your have your meals together and they accompany you before going about their business. Usually, Katsuki cooks in the morning, and you make the boys tea. Usually, Eijirou takes all of the bags on his shoulders because it’s manlier and ‘every little training helps’. But today was nothing like usual. You tried to avoid your paranoia during the whole morning, but you couldn’t anymore at lunch. They literally rejected you. In front of everyone. Maybe you finally ruined everything by yourself.
When you arrived to the cafeteria, you decided to wait for them before realizing that they weren’t late, but they didn’t wait for you. They were already eating with some classmates. Sero noticed you, lining up alone for your lunch and staring, with a troubled expression on your face.
“Why isn’t Y/n with you today ? The three of you are always together… Something happened ?”
“She decided that our company is no satisfying enough for her. We would not want to force her.”
You weren’t that far from them, and Eijirou’s hard words were sharp and loud enough to reach your ears. He said it that loud on purpose.
“I thought that you and her had a thing… Aren’t the two dating or something like this ?”
Katsuki growled at Denki’s curiosity.
“None of your business, you dumbass”
“I was asking Eijirou ! Of course, no one would date your rude ass”
“He’s right, Denki. Our love life is none of your business”.
No one could possibly ask anything after this, even if they took each other’s hand. They ain’t persons to take criticism. They just proved you that you can’t cut off people’s curiosity. You’re just not strong enough. So you ate alone, and reached the afternoon training late, sorrowed and unmotivated.
Since your two regular partners for training were sulking you, you paired up with Midoriya, who needed help for his frontal attacks. You were strong enough to repulse him sometimes, by putting all your frustration into your fight, and you were agile enough to avoid him when he was too strong. It wasn’t like your usual trainings, but it was instructive in that you were learning new things. And suddenly, just when your sadness has eased a little thanks to work, everything went so fast that you couldn’t understand. First, your eyes caught a familiar vision. Second, your turned your head to see that Katsuki was proudly and fiercely kissing a blushing Eijirou, that wasn’t ashamed to kiss him back. Third, your eyes went wide open, and your mouth in awe.
“… - SMASH !”
Fourth, everything faded away.
Before you open your eyes, you can tell that you’re in a hospital. The smell of disinfectant and the beeping of machines weren’t misleading. And when you opened your eyes, The memories came along with the severe pain. You remember… Izuku, Eijirou, Katsuki… Recovery girl… The hero trainer… The ambulance… The injury, the pain and the cries… The sedative… And then nothing. You got injured during the training, you weren’t paying attention and you received Izuku’s attack you were supposed to block or avoid with full force. If you were a villain, he would have neutralized you, which was the purpose of the training. He isn’t the one to blame, nor are the two who caught your attention. From the very beginning, you were the only culprit. And just when you were thinking of them, you heard Katsuki’s voice grunt behind the curtain that was surrounding your convalescence bed.
“We have to see her ! Oi listen you-”
“We’re in a hospital, quieter !”
“Please, doctor, let us see her. We are so worry, and we need to be by her side when she’ll wake up”
Eijirou’s pleading voice was trying to convince the relentless doctor.
“You’re not her family, I can’t allow you to do so. I am sorry, rules are rules.”
Someone, maybe Sero, intervened.
“C’mon, boys, there’s nothing to do but wait…”
However, they didn’t give up. Kirishima begging and Bakugou threatening almost made you cry. You struggled a bit, but managed to talk with a husky voice.
“Please let them in. They are my boyfriends. Please…”
The curtain was withdrawn in a hurry, and in a split second, the blond and the redhead were by your side.
“Y/N ! How are you feeling ! Is everything okay or are you-
“Don’t ever scare me like this again ! I might lose my mind if you ever-
They won’t let you get a word in edgeways, checking on you and their concerned eyes scanning you. You started crying.
“I am so sorry… I am so sorry that I was stupid enough to hurt you instead of overcoming my fear ! I don’t deserve you, I-”
Eijirou hushed to you, while carefully wrapping his arms around you.
“Shhhh… It’s okay now, sweetheart. We won’t talk about this now, and not anymore. Nothing is more important than seeing you happy and smiling…”
“Besides, all those who were waiting heard you… I am sorry…”
“What a plot twist ! Seriously, don’t be… I am not afraid anymore. Today was horrible, and I got more hurt by the truth then Izuku’s hit. I am not letting anything between us again. I love you, and nothing will stop me from doing so”
Katsuki took your hand in his, squeezing it against his heart and peppering it with kisses. Words aren’t for him, so he lets you know his gratitude in other ways. With a kiss on your forehead, Eijirou concludes.
“If it took you approaching death to realize it, you're more of a dumbass that he calls you so”

Thank you so much for doing the last one! The way you write these just feels so right for the characters and it’s so so good!!
If it hasn’t all ready been requested, could I get one about the boys (anyone you feel like writing for, but you were right about me liking the Union bastards haha) and how they feel about/the way they cuddle and or show affection? Thanks so much and I hope you have a good one!
Awww you're so sweet! 💙 And that's a fun one, thank you! I also kinda touched the pda topic since it felt relevant. Hope you like it~
C*ddles and aff*ction
ft. the Union bastards
Tumblr media
Donald Na
Is not the most affectionate person. There would be no... intentional or obvious pda in a sense that he won't hold your hand or blow you kisses, but he won't bother pretending you're not together either? (Unless it's a strictly secret relationship for some reason) Like, he'll give you that little half-smile of his, stand closer to you, be a tad more touchy in a non-intimidating way. He'll look at you longer than he usually looks at people, and his gaze will be more tender.
I suppose I can just say that his main way of showing affection is just... not putting a facade. He'll be more open with you, and it will be noticeable even to other people, but if they think they can use it? or that he'll be nicer to them in your presence? Yeah, jokes on them. Donald actually can be persuaded to be a touch nicer to other people but it'll take a LOT of work. Like, not even just emotional work, but straight up work in the Union
Cuddles are... difficult. I think at the start he'll outright reject you if you try to get him to cuddle you, but at some point, especially if you manage to force him to cuddle and he gets a taste of what it's like, he'll want cuddles desperately. Probably won't show it, but the desire is there.
The problem with cuddles is that they take time, and Donald feels like the time spent cuddling is wasted. Yeah, sure, he feels rested and loved and safe in the process and afterwards, but it's not Productive™, y'know? The amount of work doesn't lessen, it just gets bigger, even more copious while he lounges on his couch with you like some useless moron.
It's a little easier if you're often at Yeouinaru for one reason or another. Then he'll be able to find some time in between meetings, paperwork and studying to lay on his couch and cuddle you. It's rather short usually, no longer than half an hour. He'd just lie on his back and let you lay on him, run his fingers through your hair and along your spine. His couch doesn't allow enough space for spooning but he'd the big spoon if you found a sufficient place.
I think he kinda needs to be the little spoon sometimes - or whatever the equivalent is for when you don't spoon and just cuddle. He'll never admit it, but it just needs to be done from time to time, like once every quarter. As a therapeutic measure, y'know?
Tumblr media
Kingsley Kwan
Hugs are therapeutic, you know? You should get at least one decent hug every day to avoid getting depressed and dying from sorrow. Kingsley will make sure you get your daily dose of hugs, will be really routine and thorough about it too.
Doesn't mind pda if it's about affection and not the publicness. Will hold your hand if you want him to but don't make a Thing out of it.
Ready to comply to your needs more often than not. You're touch averse? Sure, he gets that, no unnecessary touching. You skin ship a lot? Also totally fine. You wanna be the big spoon even though you're like a foot shorter than him?.. allrrright, gonna be uncomfy but he can make it work.
Ask him for a kiss on your cheek one day, and he'll do it every day. If you want something done just once, not repeatedly, you'd better specify right away.
Cuddles are good. Healthy. Sedative. Just what you need after a tiring day. Will gladly cuddle you to sleep if you stay over/ live together. Likes spooning and is usually the big spoon. It just makes sense considering how tall he is, you know?
Tumblr media
Wolf Keum
Rather indifferent about pda. Like, he's not doing shit to give people a show, y'know? He does it because he wants to. So what does it matter if you're in public or not?
Doesn't initiate physical contact often, but doesn't deny it to you either. You wanna hold his hand? Sure. You wanna hug him? Just don't sneak up on him or his reflexes might get the better of him and he'll end up elbowing you or something worse. But otherwise it's fine too.
He'll wrap an arm around your shoulders sometimes if you're comfortable with that, grab you by the arm other times, but this is all rather rare... Will do that more often later in the relationship though, when he gets used to non-violent physical contact.
He'll set up traps for you though. 😈 He'll be lounging around, sitting somewhere, all comfortable and warm and smelling of blood and cigarette smoke, you'll just naturally want to get closer. Maybe hug him or lean on him or sit on his lap... And he'll let you! It will be all nice and good - until you try to get away, that is. Then his hands turn into a vicious vice! And you're trapped. No going away until he mercifully decides to let you go which can be like... literal hours.
Probably likes to cuddle more than he'd care to admit. Is always the big spoon. Loves that the position allows him easy access to your neck while preventing you from getting away. So you'll just enjoy being wrapped in his protective embrace and then all of a sudden feel his teeth on your neck or shoulder. He'll bite really hard to feel you writhing, hear you whimpering. Might kiss it better after he's satisfied tho.

Jimmy Bae & Jack Kang
Jimmy would be insufferable on his own, but in a poly relationship with Jack he's surprisingly... adequate? Really surprising cuz Jack wouldn't do anything to stop him from making an ass of himself most of the time, he'd just be there and his aura of calming indifference would be enough. Not that Jack is truly indifferent, mind you. But he has the aura.
Jimmy would love pda, and it would be at least as much about the publicness as about the affection if not more. He'll put his arm around your shoulders or on your lower back or into the back pocket of your jeans. He wants to show off. But if there's Jack nearby that desire lessens a bit. He won't make a scene if you're just lounging around with Jack.
Jack isn't much into pda. He's not particularly into handholding since he prefers his hands into his pockets when they're not being actively used. Will be more expressive around you though, instinctively stand closer to you. Won't mind if you lean on him like on some kind of wall, might actually hug you then.
Jimmy's hugs are rare, mostly private, unexpectedly warm. He'll love hugging you while you sit on his lap, putting his chin on your sholder and playing with his phone or something.
You can also lie or sit on his back while he's doing push ups, he'll love it. He gets some nice physical contact AND to show off his strength! If it's not perfection, than what is?
Jack's hugs are firm, secure and even more rare than Jimmy's. Will mostly hug when one of you needs comfort. Won't deny you a hug if you just go for it though but will soon pat you on the back as if saying 'alright, now can I get out?' Will literally say it out loud if you hold him long enough.
Cuddles are mandatory. It's better if you all live together otherwise you'll have to make do with some club room at school. You're gonna be sandwiched between them. One of them is holding you from behind, another lying face to face with you. None of them will be the little spoon. Might be persuaded to try it but they just won't enjoy the feeling, so you're stuck with the position. Yep, even if you're taller than them.

Grape
He's social and rather tactile, so pda is natural and casual with him. It's natural for him to hold your hand while going somewhere, or half-hugging you, or touching your back, or putting a strand of your hair behind your ear when he sees that it's out of place. He doesn't make a thing out of it, but something barely noticeable in the way he does this things makes it undeniably romantic.
What he does make a thing of is selfies. Cameras. Social media. You better be into it if you're with him cuz he wants to show off his precious s/o to the world.
Grape is versatile. Bear hugs? Gentle romantic hugs? Big or little spoon? No spooning, just cuddling? You name it, he can do it all. And he will do it all - depending on the mood, his and yours current needs and wants, the time of day, the weather and a variety of other factors. It can make him unpredictable but not in a bad way. He's very good at reading the mood so if you're not quarrelling you can trust that he'll give you just what you needed. If you're at odds though he may be a little shit and make your bad situation even worse... Will feel bad and make it up to you tho.
He can be a little insecure about being in a protected positions at first. Like, being a little spoon or letting you hug him from behind. With a bit of help he gets over it fast though, and once he does, all is well.

Forrest Lee
So very tactile, but SO very repressed. Touch-starved af. In terms of affection Forrest Lee in the beginning of a romantic relationship and later on might as well be two different people.
In the beginning he'll be like 'alright, I got a s/o. Dunno how but I did. Hey, Grape, you see them? They're not imaginary, right? Right, good. So now I should just act cool and don't fuck up. They're probably with me because of my position in the Union, so must work hard to keep it going. Also be cool.' *dies*
He'll be so uptight. Hands in his pockets, expression carefully schooled into some cool indifference. Huh? You wanna hold his hand? Umm, alright. *blushes like crazy and dies* If you try talking to him while holding his hand, his replies will be like ten seconds late, cuz his brain is overheated and barely functioning.
You... want to cuddle him?.. Ummm..... Alllrright.... if you're sure... *holds you stiffly, doesn't breath, doesn't move, dies*
But it gets better over time, y'know? Once he gets used to it, he'll want affection constantly and he will shower you in it. Might still be a little embarrassed to do pda but mostly wouldn't care.
All the little touches, the handholding, stroking your hair, running his thumb over your cheek or the palm of your hand. Any and all manners of hugs. If initiating will usually hug you from behind, but is happy with literally any type of hug.
Doesn't care much for position when cuddling either. Just cuddle him, please. Would be a little embarrassed about being the little spoon, but all the embarrassment evaporates as soon as he's in your arms.
