You’ve Got the Wrong Guy!
Roman Sionis/Victor Zsasz x adoptive!reader
warnings: blood/gore. u know. BOP movie icky stuff
a/n: silly little gif
prompt: @jokekinsjoke505: “Hey I need a new adoptive father's Roman and victor because I think this will be a good idea where either they kidnapped the wrong kid and it ended up with Roman and victor adopted the reader or that one day that the reader walks in while victor is peeling off a face and Roman are eating popcorn watching it happened but they just says ' I'm to tired for this shit' before walking out again and then acted like it never happened.”
“Who does this child belong to?” Asked Roman to his mercenary and dear friend, Victor. In front of him was Victor holding you, a small child, calm in demeanor despite being taken from the comfort of your own home and family.
“Maroni.” Victor replied without a single doubt. “That’s who you told me to grab and I grabbed the kid. Just like you asked. One cool kid if you ask me.” Victor continued, noticing Roman getting visibly upset. “I don’t get it, what’s the problem?”
“That!” Roman shouted, startling you enough to start struggling from Victor’s grasp. He gently set you down as Roman tore him a new one. “That’s the problem, you don’t even see your failure!” You stood behind the bleach-blonde man, trying to understand what was happening, you were just waiting for the ice cream you were promised, you were so hungry. “That’s not Maroni’s kid. I don’t even know who that is? Did you take some random child off the street?”
“I, uh, I don’t know. I could’ve sworn this is the kid.” Zsasz answered.
“I’m hungry.” You quietly mumbled, just loud enough for them to hear you.
“Yeah, I’ll get you something in just a second.” Zsasz assured you, patting your head gently as Roman kneeled down to your height. You flinched and backed up a step, remembering his blind anger from just moments before. “It’s alright, he’s a good guy.”
“Who are you, dear?” Roman asked you in such a kind manner that you completely forgot how scary he was.
“Y/N.” You simply stated.
“Where are your parents, y/n?” Roman questioned further.
“I don’t know…” You sighed. “I didn’t see them for a few days.” Roman looked up to Victor with worry in his eyes, and was surprised to see a smile on his face.
“Can we keep them?” Victor giggled a bit, even more when you grabbed his leg. “Please?”
“Y/N, would you want to stay with us instead of your parents?” Roman had asked you a very heavy question for a young child, but you had no idea what he would really be asking of you. Of course, you didn’t come from a happy life and this already seemed better. You just wanted a sense of belonging.
“Can I get ice cream?” You innocently requested of them.
“Of course, dear! What kind?”
“Uhhh…chocolate!”
“Victor, go get y/n some chocolate ice cream!” He commanded and Victor ran to fulfill your wish. “So, you’ll stay here?” He asked you once more.
“Yeah!” You exclaimed and hugged him around the neck. He felt his heart melt at your embrace and hugged you back, lifting you up to take you with him to the kitchen. “So, who are you?” You asked him.
“I’m Roman. And my partner over there is Victor.” He smiled to himself. In a matter of moments, he’d created a family. One he’d kill for.
Once you were given your bowl of ice cream, you were sold on this new life. Truth be told, you didn’t have the greatest parents. They were absent and neglectful, which was the exact reason Victor found you all alone. It was still unknown why he mistook you for the child of a notorious mobster. Roman had his suspicions that Victor had planned this, but he laid them aside knowing this was good for them. For you all.
The two of them scrambled to make you a room, promising to buy you anything you would ever want when tomorrow rolled around. You were thrilled to be taken in by these two strange men, forgiving both of them in your young, impressionable mind. Roman, for his anger, and Victor, for kidnapping and misleading you.
“Victor.” Roman lowly said after you were tucked in. “I do apologize for raising my voice at you.”
“It’s okay, I understand.” Victor looked down at the table, then felt a hand wrap around his.
“No, I shouldn’t have done it. Especially when you’ve improved our lives so much.” Roman sat beside him. “I don’t even care about that Maroni kid anymore. This is what I care about now. You and y/n.”
“You mean that?” Victor smiled and relaxed his tense body, worried that his mistake would be unforgivable. But Roman always forgave Victor, that was what made them so special. Now they had a new challenge to tackle together: fatherhood.
—————
Years after you’d been adopted by the pair of criminals with high status in the underworld, you’d grown quite accustomed to their behavior. It wasn’t unusual to find Roman frantic or angry, or a bit violent at times. But never toward you, he wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you or raise his voice to you. You could do no wrong.
You could also find Victor coming home from a late night, covered in blood—be it his own from a mark or someone else’s from a job—and being very nonchalant about it. It was always, “y/n! I’m glad you’re up! Would you like some ice cream?” They never left the freezer understocked, even if ice cream wasn’t your favorite anymore.
But there was one “normal” you’d never really get used to, even if you were used to their brutality. Roman was a well-respected crime boss, and to keep that respect intact, he had to do some rather gruesome things.
Well, he didn’t have to. It was a personal choice for him, you could almost consider it a hobby at this point.
You’d been looking for your fathers for going on an hour now, needing some permission slip signed for school. You wandered all their possible routes hoping to catch them across one, asking around to any lackey you managed to catch. No one had an answer for you, so you continued on until you stumbled onto a horrible scene.
One father held a segment of his victim’s hanging skin from their face as they shrieked at the top of their lungs. The sound pierced your eardrums and you winced momentarily. Then you saw the other leaned back in his seat with a bag of popcorn in hand, yelling words of encouragement to Roman, as if he needed them.
“You guys are really something.” Your voice startled them both, so much that you nearly had a gun pulled on you.
“Y/N! You scared us, I’m sorry!” Victor jumped up and ran to give you a comforting hug. “I wouldn’t have shot you, I promise.” You patted him on the back.
“I believe you, Dad.” You mumbled into his shoulder. “Can you just sign this thing real quick? Make sure there isn’t any blood on your hands.” Victor pulled away and wiped his hands on his shirt.
“Of course, of course. Roman, are you almost done with that? We should take our dear y/n out for a nice dinner soon, they deserve it.” Victor explained as he grabbed the pen and paper from your hands.
“Sure, that sounds nice. I should be done in a few minutes. Don’t rush me.” Roman continued dragging the knife under his chained victim’s skin and you shook your head at the sight. By now, this didn’t even faze you, it was just another day in your life. Well, maybe the first few times you had nightmares, but you weren’t a little kid anymore. Now, you could care less what your fathers did for work. So long as they gave you the world and their love, life was good.

The Disability Library
I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.
And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!
As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!
Edit 20/10/2023: You can now suggest books using the google form at the bottom!

Matching Scars - Victor Zsasz X GN Reader
Title: Matching Scars
Victor Zsasz X GN Reader
Additional Characters: Roman, Dinah (Mentioned)
WC: 1,153
Warnings: Very dark, knives, yelling, mentions of tantrums, mentions of death, mentions of killing, a bit graphic, suggestive, blood, first time writing for Victor, and scars.
Picking up the fallen pillows, you sighed as Roman angrily left the room, yelling expletives. You began working for Roman only a year ago, and you still weren't used to his tantrums. He had hired you as a sort of back-up. If for any reason, Zsasz wasn't available, you would do the dirty work. But, since Zsasz was always available, you were downgraded to his maid of sorts.
Victor Zsasz was intimidating for sure. He was tall, with scars on his face and the base of his neck. He relished in people's fear and their knowledge that he was the one in power, holding their lives in his hands. His eyes were an intense shade of brown, like deadly chocolate, which seemed to pierce through your soul when he looked at you. It was hard not to be intimidated by him. He knew it too, which is why he made sure to use that intimidation against others.
Though Zsasz was intimidating, that didn't stop you from having a crush on the man. He never took notice of you, or that's what you thought. Victor Zsasz was a very handsome man. You found him irresistible. The scars on his face made him look dangerous, yet alluring. His lips were full and plump, making them look so soft and inviting.
Even in the beginning, after you had messed up and Roman ordered Victor to cut you, that didn't deter you from him. He let you choose where, which surprised you. You knew where you wanted it, you've fantasized about it for a while. Mouth slightly agape, Victor pulled the collar of your shirt down a little, and slowly dug the knife into your shoulder, sliding it down. Blood quickly oozed from the open wound, making you hiss slightly, closing your eyes.
🗡🗡🗡
Mindlessly, you placed your hand on your shoulder. Mind-wandering as you bit your lip. Feeling the slightly raised scar from over your shirt. You noticed that after your cut fully healed, you would place your hand on your shoulder as anxiety relief. And, it did help. It was like you were closer to Victor somehow.
You didn't know it but Victor had fallen for you as well, though he wouldn't admit it. Victor had been intrigued by you ever since he first laid eyes on you. He admired how strong and brave you were. You didn't flinch when he gave you a scar. And, he loved whenever you did Roman's dirty work.
He had to admit, watching you get information from someone was alluring. You looked so innocent, yet you could easily get anything out of someone. It was like a game to you, getting information from others. And, it worked every time. People would spill everything they knew, even if they thought they were safe.
Watching from across the room, Victor leaned against the wall staring at you. Watching as you placed a hand on your shoulder, looking around the room at all the mess Roman had made. He smirked to himself, remembering the day he gave you that scar. He remembered how you whimpered when he pierced the skin. He felt bad, but he also enjoyed seeing the scar on your flesh. Smirking, he walked over to you. Placing his hand on your shoulder, feeling the raised scar under your shirt. You flinched slightly, pulling away from him.
"What do you want, Victor? I'm busy." You spoke, going back to cleaning the room.
"Does it hurt?" He asked and you raised an eyebrow, turning back around to face him, you watched him as she eyes your shoulder.
"Oh... No, it doesn't." You spoke, nervously. "It just feels weird, having this scar here." You touched the scar again, rubbing it softly.
"I think it looks good on you." He whispered to you, leaning close to your ear.
You blushed, looking down at the floor. "Thank you." You spoke quietly.
Slowly bringing his hand up, Victor grazed the shirt, slowly dragging the collar down and over your shoulder, just like he did when he gave the scar in the first place. Your breath hitched as he did so, looking up at him as he stared down at the scar on your skin.
"Why are you doing this?" You asked him, feeling nervous.
"Because I want to." He answered, gently touching the scar.
You shivered, you looked into his brown eyes, as he stared with some unknown emotion into yours.
Digging a hand into his pocket, Victor pulled out a small switchblade, handing it to you. You took the knife, glancing from it at him, confused. Victor began to unbutton his shirt, slowly revealing the possible hundreds of scars from his kills. Face red, you watched in awe, tentevely reaching your hand out and touching the scars on his chest.
"It's your turn." He whispered to you, taking your hand and kissing it.
You blushed, watching as he held your hand in his, opening the switchblade, bringing the both of your hands over to his shoulder, a small spot was unmarred, all for you. Breathing out as the cold silver touched him, he stared into your eyes as he pressed the knife deeper in his shoulder, slowly dragging it down just like he did with yours. Blood quickly bled out of the new wound, sliding down his chest and side.
You gasped, your eyes widening as you saw the knife go deeper into him. Stopping, he pulled your hands away and closed the knife.
"Why did you do that?" You ask breathily, taking his hand in yours and quickly taking him to the guest bathroom. Victor watched in amusement as you grabbed a cloth, going back over to him and cleaning up the blood on his skin.
"I want to match," He answered, kissing your cheek.
"What do you mean?" You questioned, wiping the last of the blood from his skin.
"I want people to know that you're mine." He answered, smiling.
"I know your little secret." He continued, smirking, leaning in closer.
"My secret?" You ask, trying to look away, but you couldn't.
"Yes, one you thought I wouldn't notice." He answered, brushing your hair behind your ear.
"What is it?" You question, curious.
But, you felt the unease and anxiety fill your every breath. Had he found out? Did Dinah tell him?
"That you have a crush on me." He answered, smiling. "And, that I have a crush on you."
You blushed, feeling yourself heat up. "What?" You questioned him, keeping eye contact with him.
"I've known since the day we met." He spoke, placing his hand on the scar on your skin, gently rubbing over the slightly puffed pink scar.
"That you were mine. And, I was yours." He smirked, sliding his hand up and behind your neck, pressing his lips to yours.
You felt your knees buckle, as Victor pulled you closer to him, kissing you passionately. He pushed you against the sink, placing his hands on either side of you. Pulling back, Victor brushed his fingers against your collarbone, he seemed like he wanted to say something but a yell cut him off.
"Zsasz!"
Both of you jumped up, looking over at Roman who was standing in the doorway.
"What's going on here?" Roman asked, as Victor hesitantly stepped toward Roman.
Subtly, standing in front of you, protecting you.
You blushed furiously, pulling your shirt back over your shoulder. "Nothing." You lied, looking away from him.
Roman glared at you for a moment, before sighing. "Go clean yourself up." He ordered, glaring at Victor in disgust at the clotting blood on his shoulder. "I have someone I need you to go find."
"Of course, boss," Victor replied, looking at Roman, eyes hard in job mode.
Victor glanced back at you before leaving the room. Roman then turned to you, glaring, a deep frown on his face. Gesturing with his arm at his main living room, he huffed.
"Get this cleaned up."
You nodded quickly, "Yes, boss." Before pushing out of the bathroom and going back to work.
Though, you couldn't help but bite back a huge smile from the moments before. You just couldn't wait until Victor got back.
