Call Me Lover
Pairings: Xu Shang Chi x fem!Reader; Unspecified Male Avenger x Reader
Summary: Shang Chi is in love with his best friend but she is with someone else. He’s unsure if he’ll be able to keep a handle on his feelings for much longer. Based on Call Me Lover by Sam Fender.
A/N: Tried to be as vague as possible when describing the boyfriend so you can imagine one of your other Avenger faves. Please let me know who you pictured! I get curious about these things lol.
Tumblr media
You know I'll be down here waiting
I'll take you to see your man
A shiver sent its way down your spine as you and your best friend, Shang Chi left the movie theatre. He could see the goosebumps on your arms from the cool evening air and instinctively offered his jacket. You gladly accepted, putting the jacket on over your shoulders and inhaling the gorgeous scent of his cologne. He sighed contentedly at the sight you wearing his clothes and fell even harder for you.
It was a late night trip to see some forgettable movie. Your boyfriend was coming home from a mission that night and time had almost stopped completely as you had waited for him all afternoon. So you called up your best distraction, Shang-Chi with a request that you do absolutely anything to stop you from clock watching.
As soon as your name lit up on his phone, it didn’t matter what you were about to ask. Shang Chi was there. He was completely, hopelessly and desperately in love with you.
“It won’t be long now until he’s back!” You said excitedly, checking your phone.
Shang Chi’s heart had been fluttering all night in your presence but now it seemed to sink to the pit of his stomach with the mere mention of him. The man who had stole you away from him, the man you loved and the man who was a living, breathing reminder that you belonged to someone else.
“Yep.” Shang Chi shortly replied, popping the ‘P’. “Do you want me to drop you off at the compound?”
“Yes please.”
When you are done, we'll go driving
Catch the coast in the evening light
Shang Chi’s chest tightened as you hummed along to a sweet song on the drive there. Your leg bounced up and down excitedly in anticipation. Your boyfriend had been on this mission for two weeks but it had felt like an eternity waiting for him to come back. He would send sporadic updates that you tried your best not to sit around waiting for. Still, every time your phone made a sound, you had desperately grabbed for it in hopes it was him.
You’d passed the time with your best friend, seeing him almost everyday. Shang Chi obliged of course, he would do anything for you. Anything to have you all to himself without any distractions.
It was getting harder and harder for him to act natural around you. A few nights previous he’d driven you along the coastline before stopping to watch the sunset on the beach. Whilst you had fallen in love with the serene pink sky, he was staring at you and feeling his heart beat so hard it was fighting its way out of his chest. Now a pink sky reminded him of you and a moment that he’d reserve in a special place in his heart forever.
“I don’t know why, he’s literally my boyfriend but I’m very… nervous I guess? Just so excited to see him.” You babbled on to Shang Chi who concentrated all of his anguish into gripping the steering wheel with great force.
“I’m sure he’ll have missed you.” Shang Chi offered in response. It was all he could think of to say that would help him stay in character of the role he played of being the supportive friend. He knew if he had to go two weeks without seeing you that he would have been driven insane.
“Yeah well, I really missed him too. The bed is too cold without him.” You smiled at the thought of being engulfed in the arms of your love later while Shang Chi swallowed thickly. He would have been more than happy to keep you warm and safe at night.
Upon arrival at the compound, you realised you were still wearing Shang Chi’s jacket. It was like a continuous warm hug from your best friend, which you relished in due to the unforgiving chill in the air. However, it didn’t seem very appropriate to be wearing another man’s jacket to greet your boyfriend after two weeks apart, so you took it off.
“Here, honey,” you handed Shang Chi’s jacket back to him. “Thanks for letting me wear it, you always look out for me.”
“Always will.” Shang Chi mumbled in response, taking his jacket back. Fresh wounds opened up seeing you take his jacket off for his benefit. It made your best friend feel like you were discarding him in favour of your boyfriend.
When the plane landed and your boyfriend emerged, unscathed and forming a cheesy smile at the sight of you (which Shang Chi could only describe as insufferable) you ran up to him and threw your arms around his neck desperately. You didn’t leave an inch on his face un-kissed and he had wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you as close to him as possible.
“Hey, beautiful.” He chuckled, rubbing your back soothingly with his hand.
“Hey, lover.” You said teasingly in between kisses, an inside joke between you both.
I love it when you call me, "Lover"
Ooh, lover
Hearing you call someone else “lover” was an assault on Shang Chi’s emotional state. It was agonising, like he was trapped in Room 101 and his personal torturer had selected this specifically knowing how much it was going to hurt.
Shang Chi had often slipped into a daydream where he imagined a world where you were his. You’d give him the beautiful doe eyes that you had reserved for your boyfriend. You’d hold on to his arm and kiss his cheek while you walked through the farmers market. The two of you would see old couples and lament on how that’s definitely going to be you when you’re older. Most importantly, you’d call him “lover”.
In his head, you would do all the things for him that he’s seen you do for your boyfriend. When Shang Chi wasn’t there, you’d talk about him to your friends with the same glee and cheesy grin with which you talk about your real lover.
Sometimes when you were together and you’d accidentally brush his arm or you hugged him or called him a cute pet name like “honey” or “sweetie”, it would send him into that utopia in his mind where you were his. A little grin would emerge on his face as he pictured a cute scenario of you both together until you would snap him out of it, laughing at how distracted and dazed he could be. The embarrassment would send sharp pains in his chest and stomach, being almost sure that you could see inside his brain and he had been exposed.
He even dreamed about you when he fell asleep at night and would wake up clutching his pillow so tight his fingers hurt. Then, he’d let out some soft cries into the pillow, wishing it was you he was holding on to instead.
Then he’d think about while he was desperate and crying for you, you were probably in the arms of your boyfriend and sleeping softly, without so much as a thought for Shang Chi.
She gives me those eyes when her man's in plain sight
Or am I just mistaken?
You appreciated the moment of having your boyfriend back in your arms, rubbing your thumb along his cheekbone and giving him gentle kisses as he told you just how much he’d missed you. After a while you took his hand and wandered back over to Shang Chi who stood awkwardly, as if waiting to be dismissed by you.
“Thanks for driving my girl up here, man. It’s a long drive back to the city, you’re more than welcome to stay here for the night.” Your boyfriend smiled at Shang Chi and gave him what was intended to be a friendly pat on the shoulder. Shang Chi frowned at the sight of that man’s hands on him and interpreted the act as being patronising. He was sure that your boyfriend knew just how helplessly in love with you that he was. Being with you was him stabbing Shang Chi in the side. Offering him a place to stay the night where there was a chance he’d hear your reunion sex was the knife being twisted.
But it was you that struck the most painful blow. You looked up at him through your lashes with those gorgeous doe eyes that Shang Chi had thought he’d never be on the receiving end of. You raised your eyebrow in anticipation of his response with a soft and inviting smile. You wanted him to stay.
Shang Chi stared at you in disbelief. You were clinging on to your boyfriend’s arm who you hadn’t stopped talking about all night but were giving him those eyes that he’d dreamed about. He cursed himself for having been so desperate to see them because now he had and he wasn’t allowed to reach forward and kiss you. It was his breaking point.
Enough was enough. He knew he had to start the process of self preservation before his heart broke completely.
“No thanks, I’m gonna head home.” Shang Chi replied grumpily and pushed past your boyfriend. It made you scowl, your best friend was never usually abrupt or rude like that. He was outgoing and gentle and cheerful. It set off alarm bells in your head as you followed him with your eyes.
“Well that was just plain weird.” Your boyfriend smirked. When he looked at your expression he could see just how shocked and stung you were at your best friend’s actions. You couldn’t offer an explanation or even an excuse for him and it bothered you. There was something clearly wrong and you hated the idea of being kept in the dark about it.
“I think I’m gonna go check on him. I won’t be long, baby.” You decided and kissed his cheek. He nodded in response and headed into the compound to relax and wait patiently for you to return and take your rightful place in his arms. You turned on your heel and set off after your best friend.
We will break under circumstance in the heat of it all
Can you take all the pressure that is left behind?
Shang Chi mentally berated himself on the way back to the car for having been so rude. He didn’t want to be and it honestly didn’t sit right with him, even if he did find your boyfriend extremely annoying. He had been kicked into touch and survival mode from all of those years of assassin training had taken over. Instincts were telling him he needed to get as far away from you as possible.
Unfortunately, you weren’t letting him get away so easily.
“Wait up! You’re not going anywhere until you explain what that was back there!” You shouted after him as you desperately tried to keep up with him. He took long and efficient strides forwards, knowing that if he could just get to the car, he could drive away and cry his eyes out in the safety of his own company.
“It’s nothing. Go back and see your man. He’s missed you.” He responded.
You managed to catch up and grabbed his arm, moving him to face you. You observed his agonised expression and the tears forming in his eyes, which worried you even more.
“Not until I know you’re okay.” You asserted. “I know you, remember? And I know that something has upset you. So, spill.”
Shang Chi hated to admit it but you were right. He couldn’t just change his behaviour and expect it to go unnoticed by you. You did know him, probably better than anyone - even more than Katy. It was futile trying to hide this from you anymore. It was time to be honest.
“I can’t do this anymore.” He sighed, looking down to avoid your gaze.
“Do what?”
“This. Me and you. I fucking… I love you okay? I love you. And seeing you with him, it really fucks me up because I wish it was me. I know this makes me such a shitty person because you have a boyfriend but I can’t do this anymore. I love you.”
The admission was a cathartic cocktail of painful yet relieved emotions. Finally, you knew and he didn’t have the burden of carrying around this heavy secret anymore. On the other hand, it risked losing you forever.
The confession of love had stunned you into silence. You desperately tried to achieve eye contact with him in search of a sign that he might be joking. You had no such luck; all you could find in his eyes was torment and hurt. He loved you.
“Sweetie, I don’t know what to say…” You began but were unable to finish. You put your brain to work to formulate a thoughtful response but no inspiration took hold. There was no way to make him feel better about this. You couldn’t make him promises or give him the romance movie moment of throwing caution to the wind and pulling him by his jacket for a deep kiss. You already belonged to someone else.
“It’s okay,” Shang Chi said, breaking the awkward silence. “We can talk about it another time but I need to get outta here.”
With that he kissed your forehead lightly and lingered for a second to savour the moment. Slowly, he leaned back and got into his car and took off. You were left standing there, feeling like you had been suffocated. You inhaled a few greedy gulps of air in an attempt to steady yourself and wondered how you would explain what had just happened to your boyfriend. Your brain was on standby as you stood rooted to your spot, trying to process what had just happened.
In the car, Shang Chi fought back furiously at the tears threatening to spill from his eyes. He tried to stifle the lump that was achingly stuck in his throat with the anxiety that he might have just destroyed your friendship. You were the most important person in his life and he had potentially just thrown all of that away. To put it bluntly: it hurt.
He found himself sink back into that unhealthy tendency of daydreaming about you again to avoid facing the severity of the situation at hand. Suddenly, his mind started to ease and his body relaxed.
He walked into his apartment on a bright Saturday morning. The light streamed in from the window to accentuate your beautiful frame as you lay in his bed waiting for him. Shang Chi set down the coffee and bagels he bought the two of you for breakfast and hovered over you to give you a deep and loving kiss.
“Hey, baby.” He smiled against your mouth before you pulled him down on to the bed with you.
“Hey, lover.”
I love it when you call me, "Lover"
Ooh, lover

-
As you bit into another Valentines chocolate, you sighed, staring out the window. You wanted to go out, but the city was crowded, busy with all the couples wandering around town.
You hated that the idea of walking around alone on Valentines Day made you feel bad, it shouldn't, there as nothing wrong with it, you knew that. But you couldn't seem to leave the house anyways.
It had been years since you last celebrated Valentines Day, and you had to admit, you kind of missed it. You liked that there was a holiday were you could be more romantic than normal, be more cheesy than normal, and it didn't come off as weird.
You didn't mind being single, but there were parts of being in a relationship that you missed. The dates, the inside-jokes, the intimacy.
Without meaning it to, you suddenly thought of Shang-Chi. You wondered what he was doing right now.
Did he have a date? No, he would have told you about that. Wouldn't he?
You felt your chest clench. Even if he did, you wouldn't want to hear about it.
When Valentines Day approached, you couldn't ignore the daydream of him finally asking you out. Confirming if he had feelings for you once and for all. Finally telling you if those times you caught him staring at you, or the jealousy he seemed to show when guys hit on you were all signs he had feelings for you.
But it was now Valentines Day, and he hadn't said a peep. He hadn't even brought it up at all.
Looking over at a set of drawers in your living room, you thought of the gift you bought him that was now shoved away in the drawer. You hoped you would be able to give it to him today, but it didn't seem like it was going to happen. You figured you'd save it, maybe until his birthday.
A few days before when you were with Shang-Chi, you tried to naturally bring up the topic of Valentines Day.
You were passing a flower shop and you pointed out all the flowers. Pointing to a guy buying yellow carnations.
"Yikes." You whispered out.
"What?" Shang-Chi asked.
"Yellow carnations, bad idea."
"Why?"
"They mean rejection and disappointment"
Shang-Chi looked back over at the man and frowned "Let's hope whoever he's buying them for doesn't know that."
You chuckled before pointing at yellow roses "Those are often meant as a symbol of friendship, but often mean infidelity and jealousy, and used to be used as a symbol of betrayal and separation. Wouldn't wanna buy those for your Valentine either."
He chuckled "How do you know all this?"
You shrugged "One of my first jobs in high-school was working part-time in a flower shop. I loved learning about all the secret meanings behind them."
He grinned at you and your heart fluttered. You loved when he looked at you like that.
Walking over to one of the flower-shop workers, you picked a single flower and bought it. Shang-Chi watched you with curiosity.
Walking back over to him, you handed him a sunflower.
He took it gently and met your eyes "What does this mean?"
You smiled "Friendship"
Though sunflowers could be associated with friendship. Their truer meaning was that of loyalty, adoration and pure love, but you didn't feel brave enough to say that.
You were shaken from your thoughts as you heard your doorbell ring. Humming in curiosity at the sudden visitor, you walked to the door and peaked through the peep-hole. Seeing Shang-Chi in the hall, you felt your heart skip a beat.
What was he doin here?
Opening the door, you tried to hide your surprise with a smile "Shang-Chi, hey!" You said cheerfully.
He grinned at you "Hey."
"What's up?"
He shrugged as he lifted up a bag from your favorite food-spot "I thought I might stop by to see if you were hungry."
Your chest was tight as butterflies raged through your stomach. "How do you always know when I'm hungry?" You joked.
He shrugged his head and smiled "Friend intuition."
As you stepped aside, Shang-Chi walked in and made his way to the kitchen. You watched him for a moment as you tried to steady your breath. You wondered if he remembered today was Valentines Day, or if it had slipped his mind entirely.
Taking out the food, you and Shang-Chi fell into a familiar pattern. Sitting across from each other at the kitchen island, dividing the food and talking about your day. But you noticed Shang-Chi had an odd demeanor around him. You watched him closely as he picked at his food.
Looking up he caught you and froze for a second "What?"
You set down your fork and stared at him for a moment "Something's wrong."
He sat up a bit as he looked around at the food "What, did I forget something?"
You shook your head "I mean with you, your all fidgety, like you can't sit still, what's going on?"
Shang-Chi opened his mouth as if to defend himself, but he paused before taking in a deep breath and letting it out. Tapping the kitchen island a few times, you watched as he stood up and made his way towards the door.
"Shang-Chi?" You asked as you stood up. Was he leaving? Did you do something to upset him?
Shang-Chi opened the door and stepped out, but left your door open. You stood still as you watched him round the corner before he appeared again. Your breath caught in your throat as he held a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
He seemed nervous as he closed the door and walked up to you. As he handed you the flowers, you were speechless.
Finally finding your words, you spoke softly, "What are these for?" You knew, but you need to hear it.
"Valentines Day."
You met his eyes, and everything you wanted to ask came out in only one word "Why?"
Slowly, he pointed out each type of flower and spoke softly "Light red carnations for affection, pink peonies for attraction and passion, and primrose...meaning 'I can't live without you', and-" he pointed to a single sunflower in the middle of the bouquet "-adoration and pure-"
"-love." You finished for him as you slowly met his eyes.
He shrugged his head softly as he smiled shyly "After you gave me that sunflower, I looked it up, I knew you had to know all the meanings. And I hoped, that- that it meant you felt the same as me. So, I spent all night researching various flowers and then all morning finding the right bouquet to give you."
You gently ran your fingers over the flowers "The same as you?" You said in a whisper. Did that mean, what you had hoped he felt, was right?
He tilted his head as he looked at you "Do you?" He asked, a subtle hint of fear in his voice.
You nodded your head as smile played at your lips "Yes."
His smile grew into a grin as you saw him relax a bit.
Suddenly remembering the gift you got him, you stood up straighter "Oh!"
Shang-Chi watched as you went over to the drawer and pulled something out. Bringing it over to him, you had suddenly become a bit more shy as you handed it to him.
"I saw this and thought of you."
He took it gently from you as he smiled, surprised that you had anything for him. Opening it, he saw a stone beaded bracelet in various colors.
"It's jade, tigers eye and onyx." You said softly.
He smiled as he lifted it up, feeling the smooth stones in his fingers. He met your eyes again "I love it."
You smiled, warmth crawling over your face.
"When did you get this?" He asked curiously.
You laughed softly "A few days ago. I wanted to give it to you today, but I wasn't sure if...well."
"If I felt the same?" He finished and you chucked.
"Yeah."
Sliding the bracelet onto his wrist, he set the box down before taking the flowers from you. Setting them aside, he turned to look at you again and let out a soft breath as he shook his head.
"I hate that it took me so long to say anything."
You shook your head softly "It wasn't just you, I didn't say anything either."
He took a step closer to you and took your hands in his "Either way, we shouldn't waste anymore time, right?"
You smiled "Right."
"Ever since we became friends, I knew I loved you. You were my person. I just didn't realize how deep it all really was."
"You're my person to Shang-Chi."
Gripping your hand a bit tighter, he slowly pulled you closer to him. Your chests touched as his free hand rested on your waist. Your noses brushed gently as he stared into your eyes.
"I really don't think I can live without you, you know."
You smiled softly, he really did feel everything you did.
"Ditto."
He grinned before he pressed his forehead against your softly. You closed your eyes and took in a breath embracing how close he was. Your heart seemed to stutter in your chest as you felt his lips brush yours. You held your breath and kept your eyes shut as you felt his lips press fully against yours.
Leaning into the kiss, as you felt electricity seem to flow through you, your gripped his jacket with your hand. His hand wrapped around your back as he pulled you closer.
Various emotions and feelings rushed through you, as you held onto each other. And it all felt perfect, it all felt right.
xx End xx
I really hate ending fics, it never feels natural lol. I hoped you enjoyed though~

I saw @yns-world do this so I kind of wanted to steal their thing XD But it’s really entertaining! So here’s my version of…
MK Villains meeting/hearing about their (and your) child
Erron Black, Shang Tsung, Baraka, Kano, Quan Chi, Shao Kahn edition!
Part 2!
Tell me whoever else you may want! I want to do a heros one after this, so tell me who you want!
Edit: I’m not even kidding, I was looking for some Erron X Readers, saw this, read this, said “ohh I like that one” and “ew that’s cringy” without knowing this is fucking mine XDXD I looked back at this and just gasped because I fr didn’t think I wrote this
Tumblr media
Erron Black
Erron: Ye look a lot like me. Ya one of them alternate universe me’s?
Son: No, but I’m here to kill you unlike what other me’s could do
Erron: Well if I die, tell other me’s to kill Y/N after pulling out
Erron: You got my eyes and your mother’s bad attitude
Daughter: And her hatred for you
Erron: Nah, our bloodline is filled with hate
Son: I wonder what she saw in you when you first met
Erron: Beats me, I wondered what she saw in the first hundred guys she fucked
Son: I’m gonna make you take that back!
Erron: If only I raised you instead, you wouldn’t be this big o’ a pussy
Son: My mother raised me better without you in my life
Erron: Yeah, never mind. You and yer mom are too ignorant to hang around
You: Your daughter is a horse girl, y’know. Ya should go show her ‘round here on one
Erron: I’m too busy for that demon girl

Tumblr media
Shang Tsung
Shang Tsung: I have been awaiting this day, my child
Daughter: Why? To destroy every woman’s life who meets you?
Shang Tsung: No, but I wonder what might a limp, pitiful creature such as yourself do when their whore of a mother is killed
Daughter: You are beyond fucked up.
Son: I remember the last time I saw you
Shang Tsung: It was quite the tragedy, indeed
Son: You couldn’t fucking stop laughing at me suffer through my mother’s death
Daughter: Whenever she died, did you care, father?
Shang Tsung: Why of course, I feared how her death would affect my precious child
Daughter: You feared so much you threw your precious child into the claws of death
Shang Tsung: At least the Kahn didn’t kill you instead.
Shang Tsung: When I was your age, it was customary for sons to protect and serve their parents
Son: I protect and serve my mother. You are a mere parasite to me
Shang Tsung: Oh, the parasite within you will enjoy tearing you apart
Shang Tsung: Does [child] know we are meeting?
You: She is sound asleep, and I promised she will awaken with her father home

Daughter: But I’m stronger than she’ll ever be
Raider: And you are as blind as your father

You: Shinnok won’t take us fighting lightly. We’re supposed to unify and serve
Quan Chi: I shall not let him take [child] from us
You: You are a traitor
Raiden: You betray your realm for what?
You: I am sorry, but my child’s safety is worth more than Earthrealm’s would ever be
Raiden: So you aid the destruction of the safest realm?
Quan Chi: My son

Daughter: It is better he likes me than throw me out like he did you
Shao Kahn: My little princess
Daughter: Mileena said you were planning of disposing me, father

Pairing: Shang-chi x symbiote!reader
Word Count: 2145
You were just starting to repair the damages of a recuperating career and then the Blip happened. You were dusted away for five years and appeared back into your shitty apartment – your old shitty apartment that was occupied by someone else – and were left with nothing. Your clothing and furniture were all thrown away and your renewed show was trashed because everyone still alive was trying to cope with the loss of loved ones.
To those that stayed, you were considered lucky. Is it lucky to have nothing to come back to? The banks refused to help and getting any loans needed minimum of five years of income. Obviously that’s impossible as you were dusted for all five of those years making the institution useless. No one was willing to hire either as you were often overqualified or lacked any recent experience in the workforce.
Unlike some of the others who also disappeared, you didn’t have a family to help you adapt to the new culture that flourished whilst you were gone. There was still a semblance of the old but you were on your own.
Waiting was the worst. The United Nations were scrambling to provide provisions, documents, and other essentials for those who came back. It was a real shit show and at times, made you wish you never came back.
You had to worry about scavenging enough food for Venom or else it’s your organs that’ll be on the menu and you want your organs to remain intact and uneaten. You also don’t want to watch Venom bite someone’s head off again. You had to work fast as Venom was most likely going to starve and the government wasn’t working fast enough.
You heard murmurs of an underground tournament that pays very well for winning contestants. You weren’t a stranger of questionably immoral activities. You and Venom needed this. It was a saving grace in the waiting game of darkness. The United Nations were behind on provisions and housings, and you couldn’t wait for the miracle of them hurrying along the process.
So you left. The world didn’t need to know you were back, undusted and alive. It had moved on without you and there was no point in sticking around. The world would believe you were the unlucky ones to be at the wrong place during the Snap.
The world would get to learn of the existence of Venom, see the both of you as more than a blurry black figure from security cameras. See the two of you reappear after your hiatus. Your reappearance will be on that podium, hundred of eyes on you, seeing you, and cheering for you. 
You had arrived to your brand new start. A new beginning to the end of a shitty chapter. “Welcome to the Golden Daggers Club! We’re a multi-platform global operation. Every fight live streamed on the dark web. Thousands of viewers placing bets as we speak.” The ringmaster, Jon Jon, explained as he handed you the sign up sheet. You read carefully, not wanting to be screwed over in the end, and when you deemed everything acceptable you signed on. It was fast and easy. Pen on paper and suddenly a new door opened.
There must’ve been hundreds of people in the unfinished building. Small cells, containing smaller fights, lead up to the giant podium where the grander fights and higher betting stakes take place. Within the club, you had to earn your place. Starting in those small cells and work your way up to become a favorite.
Your first opponent was no one memorable. They were enhanced to some degree but nothing remotely close to be able to take the two of you down. It was almost too easy but Venom adored the attention they’d garnered. On the other side of the cell were many onlookers, wanting to see more of the alien creature. It was itching more for fights, more advanced opponents, and scoring chocolate money. The club loved Venom. The fame and attention caught the curiosity of the club’s founder. 
Xu Xialing was cold, complex, and a fighter. Her coldness was strictly targeted to men but once she saw the person beneath Venom, she’d lighten up around the two of you. You became her friend. You’d learn bits and pieces of her past while you shared yours. She’d given you a chance to start anew even if she didn’t know it. You felt like you owed her for providing a way to provide for Venom in a way your old job couldn’t. You and Venom took it upon yourselves to take out the trash, people who were trying to shut her operation down. The club meant so much to people and you didn’t want anyone to shit on the empire she’d built. 
It was a night like any other. Bets were placed and the money just kept coming. The bar was filled as always and Venom was itching for its turn. “Take it easy on the chocolates, it’s about to be your turn.” You were currently watching the fight between Abomination, who was broken out of prison by his opponent, and the current Sorcerer Supreme, Wong. Wong seemed overwhelmed at first but managed to get Abomination to punch themselves. 
“I’ve worked up an appetite.” Venom grunted as they bit the whole chocolate bar in its entirety. You could feel it buzzing with excitement. 
Wong had won his fight and you were walking towards the main stage. “Doing what, sitting?” You replied as Venom’s pitch black skin covered you fully. Your thin arms concealed by its large muscles and build. No one in the crowd would ever guess who was underneath its skin.
The name of your opponent was called Flux. You had seen his fights before, seen him climb up ranks. You nor Venom were worried though. You’d let Venom take full control as it was its moment not yours. Venom tore onto the stage, hyping up the crowd, and waited for the fight to begin. The lights, the cheers, and the overwhelming anticipation riddled your being. It was exhilarating and you couldn’t wait for Venom to have the time of its life.
Flux wasn’t overpowered by much. Having superhuman strength, stamina and durability assists in keeping up with you and Venom. You’d been lucky no one has caught on to your weaknesses. As Venom controlled your body, you thought about how different your life had become and how thankful you were for being the right match for Venom. Feeling the immense happiness originating from it makes you happy. You knew Venom felt miserable hidden within your body, not allowed to stretch till night fell. Here in the club, it didn’t matter. Almost every fighter had some enhancement that made them different from everyone else. Had skills most didn’t possess.
Once the fight was over, the club’s staff members dragged Flux away towards the locker room. Venom, after celebrating its win with the crowd, followed afterwards. A giant teeth-filled grin dwelled on its face until its skin disappeared into your body.
You opened your designated locker and pulled out a box of chocolates and a 12 pack of diet soda. Opening them one by one you feed Venom by placing them into its mouth and congratulating them on its win while you consume the diet soda. In moments like these Venom resembled a puppy. Craved for your attention and wanted to feel loved. 
You’d notice Jon Jon speaking to someone you’d only seen on your phone. The Bus Boy video that’s been dominating the internet. Venom had dismissed the guy as he wasn’t anything special except for maybe his delicious brain but you didn’t want to find out.
“[Reader], Venom,” Jon Jon yelled, “the boss wants to talk!” The guy next to him watched curiously at the Venom head appearing out of your side.
“If anyone steals even one chocolate or soda, I’ll bite your head off and feast on your organs.” Venom made sure to show off its teeth to the remaining contenders before going to Xialing’s office. You sat down on a chair waiting for her to arrive. Jon Jon left the dubbed Bus Boy in her office as well. He stayed standing, not knowing what to do. He was nervous, that was evident, and a bit awkward.
“Do you know who we are supposed to meet?” He didn’t know how to talk to you or Venom. If he were being honest, Venom kinda scared him. The threats given did not help at all. “I need to find my sister. Do you know her, Xu Xialing?” You noticed he kept a white tissue around his nostrils. The metallic smell of blood allowed you to know the reason why.
You stayed quiet not knowing the reason as to why he was asking. Knowing he was in her workplace, she’ll show herself eventually.
She walked in, taking her place behind her laptop.
“You run this place?” He talked in Mandarin. 
“I own it.” She replied back. 
Another woman was let in by Jon Jon, counting the stack of cash as she walked into the room. She was adorable when she was caught red handed. Having bet against the man, her friend apparently. “Did you bet against me?”
“No.” She lied. “I bet on that Venom dude earlier.” In an attempt to change the subject, she turned the attention on you and Xialing, “Hi Xialing and stranger. I’m Katy. You’re, like, such a badass. Everything that you do is, like, so cool. That was really cool.” She walked towards one of the seats next to her friend, which you still did not have a name for.
“This is [Reader].” Xialing replied, “The Venom dude from earlier.”
Katy gasped excitedly, “No way! I thought Venom had more muscles. Love the costume by the way. What fabric do you use?” She shook your hand frantically and laughed, “Your fight was so amazing. You made me a lot of money.”
You had never integrated with someone who had so much shameless confidence. She had seen you and Venom fight and she was treating you like a hero. Most run away at the sight of the two of you. It was a nice change of scenery. “Alien, I guess? Venom come out and say ‘hello’ to a fellow fan.”
“A fan…” He muttered as he moved his head towards her, “So unafraid, so courageous. You shall not be eaten.”
She chuckled nervously, “Thank you.”
“I like your pants.” Xialing turned the conversation towards herself.
Katy blushed, “Thank you. Thanks. Yeah.” She was obviously flattered by the compliment as she smoothed out her yellow pants.
“What do you want?” The coldness of Xialing's voice appeared suddenly. A certain sharpness you had never heard, finally making its existence known.
“The Ten Rings ambushed us in San Francisco.” San Francisco was the place where you once lived. The tomb of the life you once had. 
“I saw the video.” Everyone had seen the video. It became a viral phenomenon which was rare as it raced against hero and alien sightings, and meet and greets with international heroes.
“They took my pendant. They’re gonna come for yours next.” You had learned about the pendant Xialing never took off as it was a gift from her mother. To learn he shared the same or similar pendant must mean only one thing. “I don’t know what he wants with them, but we both know it can’t be good.”
“You know what he said to me when he left?” You heard this story only once. It was a painful memory of abandonment and the loss of a sibling. Not in death, but in spirit. Lost of hope while living in the fragments of an once happy family. “‘I’ll be back in three days.’ And after three days, I went to our mom’s shrine and waited. Three days turned into a week, a week turned to a month, and a month turned to six years. That’s how long it took me to realize I didn’t need him any more. I built this place on my own. I didn’t need you then, and I don’t need you now.”
“I volunteer to eat him.” Venom liked Xialing. She snuck chocolates to it and was the first person, who wasn’t [Reader], to not be afraid of it. She gave you and it a home. “I’ll make it painful.” He licked his lips to scare Xialing’s brother even more.
Xialing smiled at Venom. It was the thought that counted and Venom meant well. He inched away from you and asked, “Then why would you send me the postcard?”
“What postcard?”
He got up from his seat and reached into his pockets. He slowly walked towards her before handing it to her.
“I didn’t send you this.” After she spoke those words, everything went to shit.

Kinktober day 14
Day 14: Love bites/marking (Shang-Chi)
AN: Full disclosure I've been writing his name as Shang shi instead of Shang-chi. I went through and fixed it but IDK how his name works exactly. As in I don't know if he'd be referred to as simply Shang or if it'd be the full Shang-chi. If anyone knows please tell me.
Tumblr media
“I’m not leaving until later. Like, five.” Shang whined when you rolled on top of him.
An alarm had been set for this very reason. So you’d be able to get on top of him before he got up and started moving around. When he started moving around then he would start packing. Before you know it he would be moving out of your place and headed off. You’d be left with nothing but a kiss on the lips.
“I know,”  you say between nips to his neck. “That’s why I wanna get this out of the way before I forget.”
Shang doesn’t ask anymore questions. The man sleeps like the dead so he doesn’t really think much when half awake. Only knowing that you were there and he really liked what you were doing to his neck and shoulders.
Bouncing between sucking and kissing you gently rubbed over his pecks. His stomach. Over his arms with the intent of keeping that soft smile on his face. Humming peacefully when your lips drag up his jaw and to his ear. A little nibble on his lobe before traveling back down to the little spot you’ve been working on.
“Keep that up,” Shang mumbled, a hand resting in your back. “Feels good.”
Now, how could anyone say no to that?
It would take some time before Shang noticed your little project. He’s going to run a hand over his throat and shoulders. Pressing experimentally against them. He’s not going to say anything though. Just like how he won’t admit that he actually likes them.

holly jolly christmas
peterpparkrr’s 12 days of holiday drabbles
3. Gingerbread House + Shang-Chi
Summary: Your gingerbread house construction makes a bit of a mess.
Tumblr media
“You’re getting frosting everywhere!” You whine. 
You’d picked up the gingerbread house kit from Target on a whim last weekend. Thinking that it would be a fun activity for you and Shang-Chi to do together. Something festive and couple-y to do with your boyfriend.
“I have an artistic vision,” Shang-Chi says as he continues to wield the frosting bag like a menace.
“So do I,” You inform him as you pull the pieces of gingerbread meant for the roof away from him. “And it includes not covering the counter with frosting,” You hiss.
“Have you ever even built a gingerbread house before?” You ask as you watch him continue to struggle to not get frosting everywhere but the seam where they need the two pieces of gingerbread to meet. 
“No,” He admits.
“Oh my God, give that to me!” You hiss as you try to snatch the piping bag of frosting out of his hands.
He turns around, trying to keep it out of your reach. You hop around trying to grab for it in a weird little dance until your hand finally makes purchase on the bag. But as your start to pull it away you realize a little too late that with Shang-Chi still holding on that your pulling is only going to do one thing, as you squeeze and a huge gloop of frosting pours out, covering your hand.
You gasp as the cold substance covers your hand. Freezing as your eyes widen. Shang-Chi also stops moving and glances at you hesitantly. 
He opens his mouth to say something, probably an apology just as your hand finally releases from the bag and you reach your frosting-covered hand up and smear it on his cheek.
“You-!” He shouts as he reels backward. A big lump of frosting slowly sliding down his cheek.
You grin as you begin to giggle uncontrollably. 
“That was a mistake,” Shang-Chi warns you lowly.
“Was it?” You ask through your laughter.
Shang-Chi smirks as he holds up the frosting still tightly grasped in his hand before it’s suddenly way too close to your head as you feel it pour onto the crown of your head and begin to drip down your forehead.
You shriek as your try to wipe at it before it drips down into your eyes.
“How dare you!” You shout, though there’s hardly any annoyance in your voice as you quickly search around for something to use to exact your revenge.
Your eyes land on the bowl of gumdrops on the counter and without a second thought you reach your hand in and launch them at him.
“Ow! Those hurt!” He hisses as he defensively holds his arms out in front of his face.
“You’ve started a war!” He shouts as he grabs at the sprinkles before throwing a handful at your face.
You growl before your scoop a dollop of frosting that fell on the counter into your hand and move to smear it on the front of his shirt.
As you look up at him with a wild grin he stops trying to push you off of him and just smiles back at you, laughing at the mess that is your hair and face.
His hand moves to wipe some stray sprinkles out of your hair before his fingers come to rest under your jaw.
You instinctively push up onto your toes to press your lips against his.
He kisses you slowly, sweetly before you pull away to survey the damage you’ve inflicted on your kitchen.
“This is going to take forever to clean up,” You sigh as you look around.
“We can worry about that later,” He replies as he pulls you back towards him, making you forget all about the mess.

Throne of Lies [Chapter 6]
➢ AN: If you're coming back from reading chapter 5 before July 31st, please go re-read it again since I've added some things!
➢ Masterlist
➢ pairing: Shang-Chi x GN! Reader, reader is Xialing’s best friend
➢ genre: romance, action
➢ warnings: Movie spoilers.
➢ word count: 2.1 k
➢ synopsis: You met Xu Xialing 4 years ago on the streets of Macau, and you didn’t know it at the time, but the two of you were going to build an empire together. Though, unbeknownst to her, you were already building your own empire of lies. Picks up in the middle of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
You were careful. Just like when you and Shang-Chi were sneaking around earlier, you were quiet with your steps and carefully looked around corners. You were slower than when you had Shang-Chi guiding your every step, and the maze of a building didn’t do anything to make you feel any more confident in where you were going. It felt like you were going in circles as around every corner was the same painting that you swore you saw two turns ago. 
You couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated with yourself. You thought you were good at directions. Or at the very least, not getting lost. You crossed your arms as you stood at the crossroads and tried to figure out the way out. For a compound that looked quite open and breezy when you first entered, you somehow found yourself lost in the heart of the compound without a window in sight. 
In your silence, you could easily hear a few muffled shouts. Which sounded bad for you.
You didn’t hesitate as you decided down one crossroad and quickened the pace. You weren’t sure if it was because you were discovered to not be in your room, or something else, but you needed to get to that pond as soon as possible. 
You paused your speedwalk to take off your boots and run through the compound in your socks. If you got in a fight with someone, this would definitely work against you, but for the time being, it was worth it in order to run around the compound stealthily. You tried to run in the direction of where you felt the wind, and to your delight, you did find an open area, but it was the courtyard. The lit hallways were plenty to allow the guards across the courtyard to see you and it was mere seconds before they shouted at you and you sprinted in the opposite direction. 
You ducked around corners and down hallways, but you could easily hear the sounds of your pursuers behind you. It wasn’t long until you found yourself at a dead end, and you readied yourself for a fight. Your boots would have to work as makeshift boxing gloves for the time being.
The first person you tackled came down with ease, but it wasn’t long until you were overwhelmed and someone was pinning you in their grasp. You kicked wildly and shoved yourself off the wall to knock the two of you over, which successfully worked, except you hit the ground head first. You tried to fight against the dazed feeling that quickly stilled your flailing limbs, but the world was spinning just a little too much for your liking and your eyes fluttered shut.
“Wake up!” you jolted awake as your eyes snapped open. You probably would’ve fallen out of your chair had you not been nearly tied up in it. You noticed how your arms were handcuffed behind you, around the back of the chair that was keeping you straight up.
“Good morning to you too,” you couldn’t help but gripe back due to the throbbing in your head.
“(y/n), was it?” you froze at the sound of your name and looked to the voice to find Wenwu looking down at you.
“That’s correct.”
“How could a mother care enough for her child that she’d enroll them into a dojo, but then leave them to fend for themselves in the streets of Macau?”
“She died.” You responded bluntly as you continued to glare at him.
“You don’t look like you were born there.”
“World has changed a lot since you first were born,” you explained offhandedly, “immigration.” You were clearly at the disadvantage here. In front of you was a man who effortlessly slaughtered thousands of people and reigned as a dictator. He wouldn’t care if he killed you, but here you were, riling him up.
Katy’s reckless nature must’ve been rubbing off on you.
“Ah, so you immigrated from Ta Lo.” He smiled at you, “did they kick you out as well?”
“You keep on saying Ta Lo this, Ta Lo that. I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
“And yet you care so much when I threaten to burn them down.”
“Because I care about human life. It’s not right to burn down an entire civilization to the ground because you’re angry.” You glared up at him, “in fact, it’s downright insane.”
He gave you a smirk, “funny how Shang-Chi said something similar.”
“Good, he grew up with morals even with a horrible dad like you.” He slapped you across the face and you let out a gasp at the sting, but that didn’t stop you from turning back to him with a smile on your face.
“I wouldn’t smile like that,” he threatened, “I know more about you than you think.”
“Really? You seem to be fishing for something you’re not going to get.” 
“You grew up in Ta Lo, and you’re a part of the Ta Lo military. You moved to Macau four years ago as you tailed Xialing.” Your face took on a confused look as he continued his tale. “In those four years, you haven’t heard from Ta Lo. They’ve abandoned you, and yet, you try so hard to protect them.” Your heart was pounding, and in your handcuffs, your hands kept on alternating between being loose and balling up. “To think, Xialing is already abandoning you for just disobeying her orders.” He was grinning widely now, and you could see him delighting at your nervous expression. “You’ve been lying to her for 4 years, she won’t forgive you for that.” He proudly strutted away from you, “You’ll be abandoned and nothing from your life will be remembered.
“You’ve been sitting on your throne of lies for far too long,” even from several feet away you could see him sneering at you, “and I can’t wait to see it collapse.”
You dropped your nervous facade and grinned confidently at him. This change in your atmosphere seemed to shock him as he looked closer at you, “a throne of lies? You flatter me so,” you smiled and he walked closer to you, “no, I think a seat of deceit is a more fitting term. I don’t have a magical superpower that makes me any sort of royalty.” You pointedly looked at the ten rings on his wrist, “I don’t need it. Besides,” you let out a scoff, “everything you’ve said was a lie. You know even less about me than you thought.”
“That’s a lie!”
“Prove it.”
“My men have been trailing-”
“You don’t even know how to get to Ta Lo, you said it yourself.” You allowed yourself to smile a wide, unnerving smile, “if you can’t wait to see me collapse, then I’m ecstatic to see you fall.”
Another punch to the face, this one with enough force to cause your consciousness to falter. Through your murky ears, you heard him say, “take (pronoun) to the prison.”
You were out before you were even moved from your chair.
When you opened your eyes again, there was a dull throb from your head and brown rock above you. Definitely not the bedroom that you were in earlier, though, you couldn’t say you were exactly surprised considering the rough treatment that got you here.
There was a relieved sigh, “glad you’re awake.”
“What happened?” you groggily asked once the world came into focus. The closest person you saw was Shang-Chi looking worriedly at you.
“Ran into my dad.” He explained, “uh, he wanted me to discuss battle plans with him and I kind of shouted in his face.”
You winced as your hand brushed a knot growing on your head, “I thought you were the rational one.”
“I’d say not wanting to burn down a village makes me pretty rational.”
That jolted you alert and you jumped to your feet, “we need to get out of here.” Your eyes quickly searched the cell that you were all being held in as you searched for something that would aid your escape.
“Woah,” Shang-Chi held out his hands around you to steady you, “don’t move too quickly, you just got a nasty hit to your head.”
“I’ve dealt with worse,” you mentioned offhandedly and brushed past him to look closer at your situation.
“When?” it was two voices who asked the question in shock, and you halted your quick movements to find where Xialing’s voice came from.
“You’re here too.” You smiled as you looked at her, though the same couldn’t be said for her. “It was from before we met,” you waved off her concern as you walked closer to her. She still looked at you with anger behind her eyes, but she didn’t forcefully walk in the other direction, so you took that as a step in the right direction. “You’re still mad?” you asked gently.
“Yeah, I am.” Her voice was curt, and you were finding it hard to believe that she was standing her ground just because she was willing to talk to you. 
“We’re both still alive.” You tried to smile and lighten the situation.
“I wouldn’t call being trapped in this prison alive.” She nearly spat out, her arms still crossed defensively in front of her.
You held back the desire to roll your eyes, “would you stop acting like a child? You’re acting really petty right now and honestly, this is the worst time to act like this.”
“So what if I’m acting like a child? I never got a chance to embrace my childhood.” She spat back. You could tell the two of you were getting more and more heated, and that this wouldn’t solve anything, but you were so frustrated with her that it was hard to think straight.
“Yeah? Well, you don’t need to get angry at me for not listening to your orders.” You argued back, “I’m older than you for crying out loud!”
“I’m not mad at you for not listening to me, I’m mad at you because you put yourself in danger! I told you to get out of there!” Xialing shouted at you and threw her arms to the side, finally revealing why she was giving you the cold shoulder.
You couldn’t believe her, “and leave you, Shang-Chi, and Katy behind?” your brows furrowed as you balled your fists, “I’m not the kind of person who does that.”
“You could have gotten out safe and sound, and not get dragged to this prison if you had just listened to me!” the cavernous room echoed back her voice, amplifying the heated emotions of your fight at least two-fold.
“I know how to hold my own in a fight! I wasn’t going to let the three of you get killed!” Xialing was always more comfortable than you around the concept of death. In the 4 years that you’ve been working together, you rarely were the one to finally take someone’s life. Sure, you helped orchestrate it and handled many of the logistics, but it was never you snapping a neck or pulling a trigger. Xialing handled much of that.  
“Are you sure?” Xialing asked scathingly, “because in all of the years I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you fight.”
“Because you always insisted you didn’t want me to get hurt!”
“You said you didn’t want to fight!”
“I said I didn’t want to fight in a live-streamed match for all the dark web to see!”
She let out a scream of frustration, “it doesn’t matter our past anymore, because all of us are stuck in this soul-sucking prison that I tried to escape all of those years ago. I didn’t want you to get caught up in my mess.”
“I’m already so much more tangled up in it than you know.” You added scathingly. You didn’t wait to hear her reaction though as you spun around and walked away. Realistically you wouldn’t get very far, but at least you wouldn’t be within kicking distance of each other. Of course, the two of you got into disagreements in the past, but this argument seemed to hit a bit harder than your past ones. Probably because it touched so much more on the backgrounds of both of you. Something neither of you really talked about that much. She was determined to leave her father behind and not think about him or the Ten Rings at all. You? Well, you simply didn’t want to tell her your origin story.
You turned the corner (honestly surprised that this cell even had enough space to have a corner) and was surprised to see two people looking back at you. Surely, they heard your entire fight. “Um, hi Katy.” You gave her a shy wave, “who’s this?”

This Change in Me 1/6
THEMES AND TRIGGER WARNINGS- affection, characters missing for periods of times
DISCLAIMER- I own no right to any characters or places associated with Marvel 
I  had never really thought about all that goes into being a superhero. After all, it’s not like I’m a second grade teacher by day and a crimefighter by night. Beyond the uniform and the spandex is something more, as I am starting to realize- motivation.
Beyond the powers, the serums and the special abilities lies determination- a willingness to take a risk . To fight for what is right, and for those you love.
I’ve never felt that. I’ve always had an admiration for heroes, but never the desire to be one.
Until  a week ago.
‘’How does a whole team,’’ Cassandra begins, her words painted with impatience, Southern accent getting thicker as her dark eyebrows furrow, ‘’just… disappear>’’ Her words contain venom in them, acrylic nails tipping against the metal table as she wants for what we all are waiting for- a real answer.
‘’I’d love to know the same,’’ Rochelle begins, her brown eyes trained on Nick Fury. 
In this room are the wives and girlfriends of the Avengers- Pepper Potts-Stark, Rochelle, Wilson , Cassandra Barnes, Laura Barton, and Alicia Rodriguez- Rogers. The girlfriends of Tony Stark, Sam Wilson, James Buchannan ‘’Bucky’’ Barnes, Clint Barton, and Steven Rogers, respectively. 
‘’Ladies, I assure you that we are doing everything we can to locate them,’’ Fury attempts, earning himself a scoff from Cassandra.
‘’Would have been a lot easier if we’d gone with the back up system like I’d suggested,’’ Natasha doesn’t even look up from the computer that she is tapping away on, diligently searching for a signal from any of the men,
A week and a half Tony, Sam, Bucky, Clint, and Steve were sent on a mission. Realizing that they needed help, they called in reinforcements. That’s where Peter Parker and my boyfriend, Shang-Chi, come into play.
Shang-Chi and I  have been dating for three years. Him being an Avenger came at no surprise to me. After all, who hadn’t seen the viral video of ‘’bus boy’’? Meeting him and seeing a viral video of him, however, are two different things. Despite his very impressive fighting skills, Shang-Chi is very lovable, very kind, and very dependable. He’s always someone that you can count on, which makes me understand how he was added to the team.
It also  reinforces in my mind, yet again, how a simple day to simply be together and get a little shopping done for my classroom, turned into him getting called on a mission as back-up…
Only for you to find out that he’s missing three and a half days later. 
‘’All I know is that I want my husband back, and I want him back now,’’ Alicia informs, ‘’They told you this mission was going to be dangerous, and you insisted without the proper back up. That’s on you. Now fix this mess.’’
The confidence and authority with which Alicia speaks is very much like the way that Steve speaks. It’s  more of a demand than a request, and Fury knows it just as well as I do. Her posture shows confidence and there’s no getting her to back down, which shouldn’t surprise me. After all, Steve met her as she trained new recruits, noting her firm but fair disposition.  
At least, that’s what Shang-Chi told me as we made dinner together one night about a year ago, himself invested in the ins and outs of other people’s relationships. 
‘’Alicia, we are doing everything er can to locate our team.’’
‘’They should not have been out there in the first place,’’ Pepper reminds, moving to sit next to Natasha, ‘’This is the last known location from three days ago Why weren’t we notificied the minute that they went missing?’’
‘’Do you think we’re going to contact you every single time they go missing? It’s part of the risk. It’s just never been this long,’’ Fury reminds, ‘’You know that.’’
‘’I want to know why you waited three and a half days,’ Laura beings before pointing at all of us, ‘’When they all have families.’’
Rochelle rubs her seven month pregnant stomach at that, ‘’The last time people just disappeared,  they were blipped. A giant alien crashed to earth again?’’
‘’Be real,’’ Cassandra  speaks again, folding her arms in front of her chest, ‘’And theny ou sent the kid, and her boyfriend out there? After you’d lost them? Did that seem wise yo uoi, Fury?’’
‘’You should know the risk associated. You are not that far removed from the field, agent,’’ Natasha begins,standing and stretching, ‘’But arguing is getting us nowhere. We are organizing a search team for them now, and that is why we have called you all in.’’
‘’We have an idea on how to locate them. However, sending in other members of the agency may alert them that they are there to rescue them. So I’ve thought of another idea.’’
Captain Marvel
‘’Wait, Ms.Marvel is coming here,’’ I pipe up, earning looks of distress and abit of annoyance from those around me, ‘’Sorry.’’
‘’You’re not the one who needs to be apologizing, sis,’’ Rochelle reminds you, ‘’So, Fury. What is this brilliant plan of yours?’’
‘’To spend the next few days training a group of highly capable individuals, ‘’ Fury says, ‘’Some experienced with this line of search and rescue, and others fairly new to it. But all with the same motivation- to find them.’’
Something in my stomach begins to turn, something similar to nervousness but without the usual side of nausea that I so often associate with THAT emotion.
‘’We thought who could be better to search timeout than the people that mean so much to them, and who they mean so much to,’’ Natasha brings an edge of nervousness to her statement, gently craving through her false sense of confidence.
‘’And who would that be,’’ you hesitate to ask, mouth dry as you feel that you already know the answers.
‘’Ladies… how do you feel about being temporary Avengers?’’

hey !! very self indulgent fanfic here, wanted to insert reader into the game itself so lots of dialogue is directly pulled from chp 15. armageddon !! could be platonic if you squint ‘cause it’s pretty vague. still open to requests and criticisms.
liu kang x reader !!
Tumblr media
"There is nowhere to run, Shang Tsung. Nowhere to hide." Liu Kang opens his arms, looking side to side. "We have banded together to rid all timelines of your evil. The threat you pose to them ends today." He points to the ground.
"Such certainty, Liu Kang. That this battle will end in your favor." Dark Shang Tsung only spits back with venom.
"It can end no other way. Because across all timelines, the arc of history bends toward justice."
"Does it? In this timeline, it bends toward me." Dark Shang Tsung's arms engulf into flames and he starts to swing his arms into a circular motion. Chanting, he shoots a beam of fire towards the sky. Slowly, a portal starts to rip open, lighting up the area. "Behold, Liu Kang, the hell I unleash upon you!" He motions his arm toward the portal and skulls start to pour out, creating a pathway. Dark versions of everyone start to come out, with Quan Chi leading the herd. Dark Shang Tsung and Liu Kang stare each other down, while Dark Shang Tsung's army starts to line up near him. He yells for them to charge, gesturing toward all of you. You start to run up the stairs, with the rest of Liu Kang's army also doing the same. You don't pay any attention to who you were fighting, just interacting with whoever decided to stand in your way. You push and kick your opponents into the green waste between the pyramid stairs.
"My godly might will strike you down." You turn your head to see a Li Mei in similar attire to Raiden. You get into a ready stance and are ready for anything she tries. You notice crackling occurring between her fingertips and you realize she was a version of someone's timeline's Raiden. You land the first punch, cornering her into a wall. Continuously you strike, pushing her down to the floor for enough time to escape. She falls with no intention of getting back up.
You sprint toward the stairs again, climbing up to one of the many platforms on the stairs. You see a flicker of green in the corner of your eye. Before you could act, a version of Syzoth punches you right in the face. You fall to the floor, clenching your cheek. You send a low kick, causing Reptile to meet you on the ground. You push yourself into the air and aim your feet toward Reptile's face. "How you like that, Syzoth?" You chuckle, imagining your timeline's Syzoth being defeated by your hands. Before she could respond, you lift her up from the ground and throw her across the platform. After this action, dozens of dark Shang Tsung's people come rushing towards you. You start to run, sucker punching a dark Kenshi along the way. You hear Sento clank to the ground as you turn the corner. You see an oncoming shadow but no people around. You clamor to the ground as a heavy weight jumps onto you. A person that appears to be Sub-Zero towers over you, ready to strike. You roll to your right and get up onto your knees. "So eager you had to jump onto me?" You banter. She sneers and sends icicles toward you. You crouch down and go for her feet. She acts quickly and jumps up, coming down with a kick. It lands on your stomach, you grunt in pain but punch her in the face as she lands. Blood paints her face as she attempts to wipe it off. Her stance now staggered, she summons an ice flail into her hands. She lunges toward you but you block, the flail breaking on impact. You suck in from the pain and cold it left. You slap her face and punch her in the stomach three times, sending her a couple feet in front of you. As she goes down with a thud, a Dark Sonya that has Kano's eye starts charging toward you. She kicks for your face and tries to slash your arm with her blade. You block all of her attempts and reply with a punch to her face. Her face swings back as her robotic eye releases a deadly beam. You hold her face away from yours and punch her with brute force. She cries in pain and falls.
"You get to be killed by a megastar." You turn around to be met with a Shao Kahn dressed in Johnny's attire. You can't help but let a loud laugh escape your lips. He charges at you and you go flying, landing next to the defeated Sonya. He walks over slowly and you jump up and kick his stomach to keep him from coming any closer. He groans and you keep at it. Punching in any place open and finishing with a kick to the balls. He yells out in pain and topples over. "Learned that on from you, ironically." You retort. You hear a mix of low growling and yelling above you. It was Goro. He jumps off of the roof and lands next to you, making you almost fall over from the impact. He hurls his hammer into your face. Your face burns with pain and you clutch it instinctively. You thought your whole face was taken with the hammer. Goro tries to hit you again with his hammers but is stopped by a punch. He falls onto the stairs but kicks your aid back. You look up to see a Ninja Mime Cage being caught by more Cages. Johnny taps him on the shoulder. He jumps back up quickly and turns his head to the right to see why Johnny tapped his shoulder. Janet also taps him and he faces her. Johnny shouts and "Ms. Cage" does the same. Probably to hype themselves up. Ninja Mime smiles at their antics and also yells silently. You chuckle at the mime's attempt at yelling. He notices your laughter and sends you a wink, but is quickly interrupted by Goro. He swings his hammers toward the three of them and they all dodge. Johnny back kicks Goro in the balls while Ninja Mime flips in the air and kicks his calf. While he winces, Janet kicks him in the face, leading him closer to the ledge. Johnny sends a green blast from his hand hurling toward Goro. You don't remember your timeline's Johnny having powers. Ninja Mime tries to land a finishing kick but Goro grabs his leg. He bends it in an unnatural way, a crackle left his leg. Despite that, he does not make a sound. Although his face contorts in pain and distress. He is tossed by Goro into the green abyss. The Cage's both kick him onto the ledge, pushing him off politely with a send off. Johnny sends you a thumbs up but Janet gives you two. You smile and pick yourself up. You hear yelling behind you but don't bother to turn as another Dark version of Johnny starts to approach.
"You've clearly no sense of self-preservation." You sigh again. "I don't have time for this." You say, in a deadpan voice. Janet scoffs. "Oh, you will." You run towards her and she braces for some sort of attack. But all you do is push her to the floor and take off. "Ugh! Come back here, Y/N!!" You ignore her and run up the never-ending stairs. Your breathing was starting to become shallow. You try to drink your spit to somehow calm yourself and also give you hydration. But it obviously didn't help. You try to look down while running to keep you from seeing the amount of stairs left, knowing the consequences. But you stop, hearing many footsteps ahead of you. You look up to see 4 people. You scan their faces and they all seem familiar but you couldn’t quite place it. Before you could attack, you’re surprised by a weaponized fan.
“Allow me.” Kitana declares.
You happily oblige and let her slay the four in front of you. She ruthlessly slices off limbs and heads. One head with sunglasses on, rolls down in front of you. Weirdly, it felt like a taunt. You try not to think so deeply about it. "Thank you, Princess Kitana. Or.. maybe not a princess?" You say, with uncertainty. It was hard to keep track of everything and everyone. Kitana only chuckles. "You are too cute. Kitana is just fine and you're welcome. Now hurry. There's no time to waste." You were about to reply to her before she was tackled by some person. You were caught by surprise and your first instinct was to help her. You figure she was able to defend herself, but mostly it was the fact that you were being approached once again.
"Reptiloids are apex predators." She calmly says. This time it was a Reptiloid Sindel. You sigh and get into a ready stance. You don't even bother with a quip. Before Sindel could even attack, the ground starts to crackle with red lightning. You look around your surroundings for anything and your eyes land on a chain hanging from a pillar. You kick the pillar to push yourself toward the hanging chain. Sindel screams in pain from the lightning and a figure that looks like Kung Lao, lands. You could see that stupid hat from a mile away. Sindel falls to the floor with severe burns but the figure pays no attention. He removes his hat and cleanly slices the chain you were dangling from, in half. You fall to the floor but get a glimpse of his face. It was Raiden's. "Ew!" You exclaim, not being able to fathom that 'that' exists. He practically flies into you and your stomach burns from his lightning. You dodge his attacks from his hat and begin to punch once he puts it back on. Getting a closer look at the Kung Lao-Raiden mashup, your eyebrows furrow. You push him toward a torch and his clothes catch on fire. He screams and tries to put it out but falls off the pyramid, not realizing where he stood. "That was an abomination.." You breathe out, as you watch him flail to his death.
You jog up the stairs, tired, before noticing two figures. You look up to see Dark Shang Tsung and Quan Chi up at the top, staring down at you attempting to run up the stairs. You see Shang Tsung talking to Quan Chi but can't make out what he says from all the yelling around you. You keep running up the stair trying to catch up. They face each other and start to create a bubble of magic, mixed with orange and green. They both raise it into the sky and throw it into your direction. "Shit!" You dive onto the next platform, as you watch it pass by you and hit many others toward the bottom. Your body aches from the fall and fatigue. "Ugh.." You slowly start to pick yourself up try to continue up the stairs.
But distant growling could be heard from around the corner. Just as you start to catch your breath, three dark clones of Mileena charge toward you with sai in their hands. The two in the back stay in a standby position, while the Mileena in red attire attacks. You grab her arms and make them cross, using her left hand with the sai to puncture her right shoulder. You twirl her to make her face her copies. You use her body to block their advances, also using her arms to attack them. You slice the neck of the Mileena in yellow. You stab the side of one in blue and stab her again but with both sai in the stomach. You kick the Mileena in your hands and take the sai out of hers. You stab her in the chest but have no time to take them back out, as another Mileena charges. You block, but she swipes you off the ground, flipping her sai to face your eyes. You catch her arms and use all your strength to keep her away. She tries to push harder with her body weight but you turn her arms inward, gouging her eyes out with the sai. Her blood flings onto your face as you push her off of you. You stood up quickly, looking at the scene. You were breathing heavily, scared of what could’ve happened. "Fuck..” You just stare at Mileena’s lifeless body. A little bit of payback for Kenshi's eyes.
"Hurry Y/N! You are almost there!" You look up to see a very ethereal-looking Shang Tsung cheering you on, with a version of Quan Chi by his side. But they are both blasted with a green force, which seemed to be sucking their souls out. You watched as their bodies were being ripped away from their skeletons, the flesh sploshing onto the floor.
Dark Shang Tsung was on his knee, supporting himself. You start to run up the pyramid stairs again, angry, but interrupted by a different Quan Chi body slamming you to the floor. You let out a grunt, landing on your arms. "I don't have time for all these distractions.." You state. You waste no time and punch his stomach. Blood sputters out of his mouth from the sudden blunt force. You take a small knife from his belt and decide it was now yours. You swipe for his neck and push in deep, and glide the knife across. Blood spews out and you are drenched in it. "Ugh.." You lightly push him and topples onto the floor. Now you have his and Mileena's blood on your face. You sigh as you start to run, trying to find the stairs again. You hold your new knife tightly, ready for any attack. But instead you find Liu Kang on the stairs, fighting off some foes. He kicks them off and notices you climbing up the stairs. He turns his body and attention towards you. "It's only a little further, Y/N. Follow me." He lingers a little, sort of assessing you. He slightly furrows his brows but gestures for you to follow, which you do.
You both reach the top where Dark Shang Tsung and Quan Chi seemed like they were waiting for you to arrive. You pocket your small knife and form your hands into fists. You looked over at Liu Kang to see him with barely any injuries and effortlessly vibrant. You try to cover up the fact that you were heaving from just climbing all those stairs and the fact that you were admiring him at a time like this.
"Your defenses have failed, Shang Tsung. This is over." Liu kang instructed, while tilting his head slightly.
"I do not think so." Shang Tsung delivers a simple, yet defying answer.
"Realize, sorcerer, that you've brought this on yourself. Avarice and ego have again proved your undoing. We have no choice but to eradicate you." You had to be completely honest, you have no idea what avarice meant but you only nodded in agreement with Liu Kang. You note in your head to start using that Word-A-Day calendar from Johnny...
"It is you who will be eradicated. You and your followers." Shang Tsung's eyes linger on you when he mentions Liu Kang's followers. "And once you are dead, all timelines will be mine." He starts to run toward you and you react the same. You throw a punch but he dodges and extends his claws out. He raises his arms and scratches your chest. You grimace in pain but don't stop for it. You aim a kick to his face and follow with another one. He blocks them all and pushes you and kicks you in the head. You get dizzy and fall to the floor. You try to get back up, knowing Liu Kang needs your assistance. But you couldn't. You slump to the floor, trying to fight the urge to close your eyes. You try and focus on the sounds of grunting and punches being exchanged. You hear Liu Kang's high pitched yells and fire leaving his hands. You cannot stay on the floor any longer. You ignore the gnawing pain in your head and shake it. Your eyes open right as Quan Chi releases a beam in the form of a snake attack Liu Kang. It entraps him and tangles him so he cannot move. Your face contorts that into a scared one, but you take a deep breath.
You try not to seem nervous to your enemies and hold your expression blank. You slowly start to approach the two. "Your position is precarious." Quan Chi states, with a bit of enthusiasm laced within it. "To survive, you must submit." He stops walking and forms his hand into a tight fist. Shang Tsung approaches you, slowly. "Yes. The question you must ask is: if Liu Kang couldn't finish us, how possibly could you?" You didn't say anything, only replying with a solemn facial expression.
Shang Tsung jumps up and tries to land a kick onto your face but you slide and make him miss. He swiftly turns back and punches you consecutively. Every blow hurt, but reminds you that you needed to win, not just for you, but also for Liu Kang and the Realms. You block and grab onto his arm. You throw him onto the ground and start to do the same. Just punch the shit out of him. He cries out in pain but uses his feet to kick you off of him. He extends his claws again and swings in whatever directions he could think of. "Two can play that game." You pull out your small knife and pierce his lower stomach area. He instinctively clutches his wound and you take that opportunity to bash his head onto the ground. He stops moving, but you could tell he was still breathing.
"And they called me the Chosen one." He looks down at your work but looks to you smiling. You were tired but still super happy Liu Kang complimented your efforts. "Thank you, Liu Kang. Should I..?" He places a hand on your shoulder. "You have done more than enough, Y/N. Please, permit me to end this." He lightly squeezes before letting go and again lingering to take a look at you. You look back with an honest face. He blinks and turns away. He begins to swing his arms and sand starts to fall out of his hands. Dark Shang Tsung and Quan Chi slowly start to fade away into sand, then blown by the wind.
"May that be last we see of you." Liu Kang sends the sand off, watching it fade away.
The ground beneath you starts to shake and soon cracks. Liu Kang looked equally as puzzled but you still ask him. "What's going on?" He looks over at you, then back to the few specks of sand. "The timeline! Without Shang Tsung to hold it together, it's falling apart!" His eyebrows furrow as looks at you but he shakes his head, looking at the ground. "You must return to your timeline before this one collapses." His arms engulf into flames and it surrounds you. "Thank you for your aid and presence, Y/N. May we one day meet again.." Before you could process his words, his warm flames start to hug you. "Wait, Liu Kang! I've got so many things to-!" Everything around you turns into white and you're scared for what's to come. Was he going to restart the timeline? Or did he only remove you out of there? You had so many questions and everything had moved by so fast. You could only hope that he would come see you again.

For the funsies
Reader is a fighter,sweet but strong in spirit. (Bonus points if they a smol bean)
And mk characters challenge them to a fight (nothing extreme ir serious but a personal challenge). And if reader wins they earn their freedom,if they lose,they have to become their spouce. >:3c *insert evil laughter here*
Characters: shao kahn,shang tsung,quan chi,sheeva (cuz i feel they are the most likely to do this kinda thing)
Gn prns plz
Reader loses fight and must marry
Shao kahn:
Tumblr media
You were quite a resilient warrior, small and unassuming yet just as ferocious. Many a warrior underestimated you and shao kahn could respect that, unfortunate that you were not on his side. Yet.
Shao kahn had one simple proposition, he would fight you personally. If he had lost, he would cease his attack on earthrealm and forfit the current tournament. But if he had won, all he would gain is your hand in arranged marriage. In the grand scheme of things it was all low risk and unusual for the emperor of outworld. Raiden only agreed to it since you were willing, as the only one who should have had a say in this specific and bizarre situation was you.
To, unfortunately not many's surprise, you lost. But not without putting up such a good fight that shao kahn had more respect for you than before. To flex his victory and taunt earthrealm further, shao kahn brought about the ceremonies as soon as they could be possible. At first you hated the fact you were 'won' as a 'prize' but to your surprise, shao kahn was rather generous. Many accommodations could be made, within reason. The only downside was that your pride was utterly destroyed, but perhaps sometimes there is a certain pleasure in being dominated by one who actually does as he says and obtains what he will. And that just so happened to end up being your heart. And now you know why shao kahn is a successful conqueror.
Shang tsung:
Tumblr media
Such grace even in the face of death at it's greatest despair, you somehow earned shang tsung's attention. And your initial refusal at his attempts of persuasion (or flirtation, you couldn't tell) only whetted his appetite further. To the point the tournament master made a proposal, he would forfeit the mortal kombat tournament if he lost in a match against you. However, if he were to win, you would marry him. Raiden refused on principle, and the fact he couldn't stand the sorcerer being so tasteless (in the god's eyes) but you accepted. And your acceptance of shang tsung's challenge was more than enough for raiden to watch helplessly.
It was a fair and even fight for the first two matches, and although it seemed like victory was assured for you, that you would teach the sorcerer he would have to try harder than that to win over your soul. It was to your greatest error...
Shang tsung was holding back on purpose.
He utterly defeated you in the final round a flawless victory. In a turn of events no one but the sorcerer himself predicted. Shang tsung was not mindlessly flirting with you, but rather observing your fighting technique and will power. Unbeknownst to you, your will matched his own and with such familiarity the sorcerer had there was no hope of winning, from the very beginning.
Not all was terrible, and as a matter of fact you began to realize that, Although shang tsung initially wanted you to either add to his own power or be in servitude. Eventually shang tsung fell for his own lies and fell so deeply in love with you, that you could not escape him even if you were not bound by the honor of the elder gods enacted by mortal kombat.
Quan chi:
Tumblr media
The demon has made many arrangements over the eons of his existence, but something about you tantalized quan chi in a way he had to create an ultimate scheme. Anyone with eyes could see that you were such a capable warrior with such a strong will, it was a shame to quan chi that your will was orientated by positive energies. The 'forces of good' if one were foolish enough to have such beliefs.
With quan chi's plans incorporated, it was foolproof. You were to fight him on the premise that if you win, quan chi would return to the nether realm. But even if you lost, earthrealm would be spared by your sacrifice. It seemed like a one sided deal for the demon, and raiden refused out of suspicion (and slight prejudice against quan chi in particular) but you accepted, even if you lost at least it would cost very little to your realm.
It was an utter massacre. You lost painfully more in dignity than physical injury. Quan chi gave you no room for error and despite your best efforts he merely toyed with you. You lost both rounds but you made sure to give him no flawless. The nether realm was something you had to get used to, not just the hellish scenery nor the hellish denizens, but the fact that your slow corruption was all your own. As quan chi hardly had to convince you to resent earthrealm and it's protectors who did little to prevent you from making a poor choice. As you hardened you started to gain power, and quan chi knew he had to be careful so you don't usurp him in a rematch.
Sheeva:
Tumblr media
As earthrealm's warrior you eventually traveled to outworld a fair few times. There would always be conflict within outworld and groups that wish to war with outworld itself and earthrealm for its bountiful resources. But those who were once enemies are now allies, the shokan are an example. Although you did personally vow to protect earthrealm, you found yourself more familiar and at peace with the culture of the shokan. Their queen, sheeva, had inspired and awed you. You know of one way to shokan courtship, battle. And you would often lose against sheeva, but still you persisted to win her heart.
Unbeknownst to you something might have been lost in translation, to what you were asking you thought was a form of dating. Was far more important. You kept accidentally asking the queen of the shokan to be married to. It was a running joke amongst the shokan at how hopeless earthrealmers could be. But you had such a determination that even sheeva couldn't help but respect. The times you weren't fighting for her hand(s) in marriage you two did get along well.
To the point that, for the first time ever in shokan history, sheeva is the one who asked you to marry. Since it was clear you could never beat her, although you did put up a valent fight even if your victory ment rejection of her proposal. You United earthrealm and the shokan specifically, but more important is uniting outworld as a whole. But both of you knew this was a pleasant side effect to what you really wanted, love and battle.

Mk bi-han friendship. Self indulgent self insert. blurb:
New hc. New hc. New blurb!
Ok ok.
Self indulgent.
For bi-han lovers too!
Cuz y'all need food. But hey. Im trying.
Cw: not really any. You all good. It's self indulgent tho. So not an x reader. More of me trying to have friendship with bi-han (friendship? Again? Yes friendship again)
Platonic relationship and friendship with the ninjas because fuck yeah!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Basically. It goes like this.
I fight bi-han. Out of accident. Thinking it was a task by my sifu shang tsung.
But the others were him in disguise.....cept bi-han. That wasn't planned. Shang was worried.
I barely defeated him. Barely.
However,i had major respect for the ninja none the less.
Despite the ordeal,shang didn't bump into him again. However...
I,years later. I bump into him again. He was mostly there as a spy. To pry and give info back to quan-chi. He hated this and only did the bare minimum (hey we've been there. Can you blame him?) However,this time was different for bi-han.
Bi-han finding out im now shang's wife. Years later,not the spunky little snark as i used to be. Now stands before him a courtly woman,with a gleam in her eye of all the presence of a dragon empress. And a deadly foe. Or....perhaps a friend?
"Not surprising in the least,i figured much. Given how he acted around you." bi-han says.
Me being absolutely courteous to him and polite. Welcoming him to join for tea.
Bi-han taken aback but accepted the hospitality.
"You are very kind,gentle for being the sorcerer's lover" bi-han said.
" *chuckles* do not mistake my generosity for demure coyness bi-han. I could kill you easy. But i won't,i gain nothing from it. Nor is it worth killing such a skilled warrior."
Lady tsung retorted.
"Then why have tea with me?"
Bi-han asked curiously,as to why lady tsung would do this. Let alone a spy for quan-chi. (Look at the moment he was. He hadn't broken free quite yet from quan chi....yet. also no hanzo n him aren't enemies anymore. They aint friends but they aren't enemies but sadly bi-han is still plagued by the wraith noob-saibot. And under quan chi. The bald bitch he is.)
"I have a proposal,if you are willing to listen?"
Lady tsung ask him.
"What is it that you could possibly offer me?"
Bi-han asked,eyebrow cocked.
"A thing you desire more than anything" lady tsung saying with a sly grin.
"Your freedom,with a beautiful chilling side of revenge."
Bi-han leaned in while sipping his tea. Delicious,fruity and floral it was.
"I'm listening my lady" a small smile spread across to the corner of his face. Knowing,maybe she had a plan to help him. As lady tsung hated quan chi,more than anything. Although bi-han had to be cautious,as this was SHANG TSUNG'S wife after all. They shared everything,including cunning and hidden secrets.
Bi-han had to take this risk though. It was a risk worth taking. Especially if it ment to see himself as himself again. And especially,to be able to face his brother,once more. As the man,he was supposed to be.

Askbox: Closed. Until people send me requests instead of complaining about my posts and opinions on fictional characters.
These are what I'll write and not write.
Rules:
IF YOU ARE A MINOR,I WOULD PREFER IF YOU DO NOT REQUEST NSFW WORKS. thank you. I am 18+ and I'm trying to make this a better and safer blog.
For recently, i have decided to not make any x reader fics and hcs for other people for the character shang tsung. I do not wish to share this particular character. So he is off limits. But anyone else is fine.
I do not post often here so apologizes if i dont get to anything right away.
My main blog is @arttrampbelle . I do post there but im trying to post here again more. For mortal kombat stuff
If you have any questions or concerns let me know
I don't do mk12/mk(1) 2023. So plz do not ask for that. I can do truly any other version. Sorry. I can maybe make a hybrid or my own version but it wont be like the actual game so of you're fine with that i could maybe make it work but i would very much rather do mk9,mk10,mk11,mk 1995,and mk legends.
I write hcs and imagines mostly. Full length fics are harder for my nurodivergent brain to do.
*added* i can write my own verse of mk12/mk1 shang tsung. But again i won't be writing him for anyone else,just myself or hc ideas. So if you wanna hear about them. I can do that. But sadly no x readers anymore of him. Again this is a personal choice.
Characters i will do:
Liu kang
Kung lao
Raiden
Fujin
Kuai liang (SUB ZERO/TUNDRA)
Hanzo hasashi(THE ONLY SCORPION!)
Bi-han(NOOB SAIBOT AND OG SUBZERO)
Reptile(lizardman look only because y'all cowards. Im not sorry)
Shao kahn
Johnny cage
Jax
Kabal
Kano
Erron black
Sindel
Kitana
Jade
Mileena
Goro
Kintaro
Sheeva
Quan chi(yes even him)
Shinnok(tho im not as good with him so plz bare with me)
Characters i won't do,things i can't do:
Any of the other elder gods besides shinnok because im not as good with them. So apologies.
Any of this titan nonsense. They don't exist to me. Sorry.
Shang tsung. He's my blorbo. And i have decided to not share or write for him anymore. So i really do apologize but i can't trust writing for other people with this character. I wanna write and self ship with this character in peace. So plz do not request any writing with shang tsung from now on. All my writing,art,kontent, for shang will be exclusively for myself only.
I do not write god liu kang(unless a corruption arch au idea?) Nor write him as some savior. You get the real chosen one or nothing at all.
I do not do character x character. I do not do anything outside of self shipping or character x reader or canon x oc/self inserts. So plz do not ask for this.
I do not write smut for minors. You can request fluff or sfw kontent only.
If you have something specific in mind,plz be as detailed as possible. Otherwise i will more likely do a in general thing
I write mostly GN and fem readers. I am not as good with masc readers yet. So apologies.
If you again have any questions. Let me know.

In reply to the ask by the lovely @late-to-the-party-81 that Tumblr decided to eat and said:
Hey, sweet Chase For the Writer Asks  K and U  😘
Tumblr media
Hello dear! Thanks for the ask <3
K:  Do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?
I’m not sure if it’s applicable, but there is some kinky stuff I enjoy in fic that would be a turn-off in real life for me, like breeding and dirty talk. I also enjoy arranged marriage fics more than I should 😂 About writing … I don’t know, I’ve written all sort of weird stuff that past me wouldn’t believe I could and I have to live with that, so I wouldn’t call them that exactly
U: Is there a pairing you would like to write, but haven’t tried yet.
There are lots! From Marvel, I’ve been wanting to write Sharon Carter/Peter Quill for a while. There are a few rarepairs I’ve been working on but haven’t posted anything from yet, like Shang-Chi/Joaquín and Tony/Sam, so those are still in the works. From other fandoms, I want to try some reader-inserts and orignical characters stories in the 9-1-1 and OneChicago fandoms, alongside other rarepairs of Chicago Fire that just make so much sense to me 😆
