Raise Them Well (Or Out of Spite)
He didn’t remember how he had gotten here. He remembered the messenger that had brought him the news, and then - Everything after that was a dark void.
His father was gone. Feanaro did not want to remember more. 
He had been on his way to Tirion already when the news came. They had known the birth would be soon even if no one had expected it would be this soon; they had thought to have nearly another month. He had not wanted to be at the birth, but his father had asked him to be there, and -
His father.
Feanaro’s head fell forward into his hands. It wasn’t a dignified position; he had come back to himself from the void of memory slumped against one of the endless tapestries that lined the marble walls of the palace, knees drawn up nearly to his chest.
On the opposite wall was a door that gaped open to an empty room where his father had once slept.
Where his father had died.
So it did not matter if he was dignified. Anyone who dared to disturb him -
“What a tragedy.”
His head snapped up. 
Melkor had taken the form of an elf today - a striking one who looked almost familiar - but there was no true disguise for any of the Valar. Their presence inevitably made itself felt.
“Another queen of the Noldor lost,” Melkor said, shaking his head. “And your father with her! I can only imagine how he must have loved her.”
“Get out.” His voice was a hollow echo of the rage he wanted to feel.
“Forgive me,” Melkor said hastily. “Forgive me, I did not mean to imply -'' He sat gingerly against the opposing wall instead of leaving.
Of course he did. What respect could he - could any of the Valar - truly have for grief?
“I cannot imagine what you are going through,'' the Vala said gently, almost as if he had plucked the thought from Feanaro’s face - or, more likely, from his glare at the place Melkor’s back rumpled the fabric of the closest tapestry.
“No. You can’t.”
The Vala’s smile flickered. “At least Ingwion will be here soon.”
“Ingwion,” he repeated, uncomprehending. What was it to him if Indis’s nephew came?
“To take the child,” Melkor elaborated. “I came to assure you that her family has agreed. You won’t have to deal with that . . . reminder.” His tone implied a much worse word than reminder had been bitten back.
“The child.” He hated how his words were mere echoes of Melkor’s own.
“Aracano,” Melkor said helpfully. “That’s what his mother wanted to call him.”
High Chieftain. So she had been scheming after all, despite all her protests.
And none of it mattered because here Feanaro was. Not heir to the Noldor, but king.
He would crown the infant himself if it would have brought his father back. 
But nothing would. Nothing except the will of the Valar.
His father would return, Feanaro tried to assure himself. This was not like his mother’s case. Surely his father would want to return. And then -
Then, he would be proud of Feanaro and how he had handled things. Feanaro would make sure of it.
To his father, everything would most certainly include the child. Aracano. Or, as his father had preferred, Nolofinwe.
(Wise Finwe. Was that why he had wanted another child? Was it wisdom he had thought Feanaro had lacked? If his father had just told him what the deficiency was - )
(His father had not thought him deficient when he was small. He was sure of that. When he had been small, his father had taken Feanaro with him everywhere; he had not for a moment left him, terrified that with one parent gone, Feanaro’s spirit could all too easily have slipped away.)
(Finwe had been enough in the end. If only Feanaro had been enough in turn, his father might still - )
With his father gone, Feanaro was the closest thing the Noldor had to an expert on bringing children through the impossible. Who was he to cede that title to Ingwion?
No. It was not to be borne. The Vanyar had taken enough from him; he would not allow them to take this -
His mind stuttered over what word to choose. Burden? Honor? Responsibility?
This. He would not allow them to take this.
Uneasiness crept in through the cloud of grief and fury. The Vanyar would not; he could prevent it. But Namo . . . It had been three days already since - since the deaths; with Nolofinwe not only orphaned but early - 
Feanaro shoved himself to his feet and stalked toward the end of the hallway, toward what had once been his nursery. It had been scarcely used - his father had not dared leave him there - but with his father’s room vacant, surely Nolofinwe must be there now.
He felt a flicker that on any other day would have been pleasure when Melkor was forced to scramble gracelessly to his feet to follow after.
“Surely you do not intend - “
“Surely you know my mind little.”
“Would you so dishonor your father by shielding that which killed him?”
Feanaro froze.
Fury licked through him like flame. 
It was almost enough to warm the chill that lay heavy over his soul.
“We can be murderers together,” he said, eyes locked on the tapestry at the end of the corridor.
It had been one of Miriel’s, once.
He stalked off to find his charge.
. . .
Nolofinwe had his father’s eyes.
Feanaro’s own eyes burned as he stared down at them.
The baby was so small. Smaller than any other he had seen. Smaller than Nelyafinwe would be when he came -
Nelyafinwe. Nerdanel.
Thrice his line had sired children. Twice the mothers had died in the births. If Nerdanel -
“Fetch a messenger to send word to Mahtan’s house immediately,” he instructed the nursemaid trembling behind him. Nerdanel had agreed to stay there when they thought this was a mere birth, lest she strain herself with the travel, but Feanaro feared she had just been indulging him. If she came now that she’d heard of the catastrophe - “They must know what happened, but gently. There must be no stress, no strain of any kind.” If he lost her - If he lost her now-
He picked up Nolofinwe in a desperate need to hold to someone.
A tiny, flickering fea reached out to his, first tentatively, then with a desperate grip that mirrored Feanaro’s own.
The fea was starving. Weak.
And so, so stubborn.
The nursemaid found enough courage to say, “The healer fears his strength might - “
He wished her courage had remained lost. “He will be as strong as a forest fire. Stronger.”
He pushed some of his own fiery spirit around Nolofinwe in a protective blanket against the biting cold of the world. Despite everyone else’s assurances, he still could not quite believe the room was not too drafty; surely the whole of the chill was not in his mind alone.
It’s his fault, part of him whispered. Just like it was yours.
He shoved the thought away viciously.
Monsters together, another part of him whispered, and he pushed that down too.
His father would want Nolofinwe to be well when he returned. That was the important thing.
So Nolofinwe would be well and grow strong.
He would not be allowed to die.
No one here would be.

Decided to do some self indulgient father Tigerclaw stuff, this one is angsty, just cuz I feel like it :3
Tumblr media
CODE OF CONDUCT
◇~~◇~~◇~~◇~~◇
Summary: You decide enough is enough, and leave your father due to his disregard of his own honor system.
Warnings: Angst, not really any comfort, so hurt/no comfort
Requested: Nah
GN Reader!
(Tigerclaws dialog will be orange)
....................................
You hastily shoved your belonging into your bag.
You've had enough. You though your father could handle this, but clearly he couldn't.
It only took one man to sway his strict honor code. One man, and a grudge against afew teenagers.
Pathetic.
The man your father once was would be disgusted at himself. You wished Shredder had never come to retrieve the two of you from Japan, you wished he could fight his own damn battles.
You zipped your bag closed, looking around your now bare room. You and your father had been provided rooms upon your arrival, but this place never felt like home.
It was like living in a mine field. You feared the day Shredder would turn on your father, and by extension, you.
You saw what had happened to Karai.
The memory caused you to shudder.
If Shredder was so willing to put the child he'd nursed from infancy in danger over his grudge against Hamato Yoshi, what could he do to you? To your father?
You quietly crept out of the Shredder's Lair and into the chilly New York air. The second you felt the wind hit your face, you booked it along the rooftops.
Trying to put as much distance between you and that hell hole as possible.
You had nowhere to go, but something could be figured out. Staying back there wasn't an option.
"What are you doing?"
You stopped dead in your tracks as you turned to face your dad, watching as his ears twitched, ever present of his surroundings.
"What are you doing, (Name)-chan?" He repeated.
You sighed looking up at him, "I'm leaving, Dad. I can't stay here anymore."
Your dad looked taken aback as you spoke, he crossed his arms, "What do you mean, leaving?"
"You know what I mean!" you said, raising your voice at your dad for the first time in your life, "This isn't right! What Shredder is doing is not right!"
"You are a child!" Tigerclaw shouted back, "You know nothing of what is right or wrong! You do as you are told!"
You scowled, "Oh and if I was told to shoot a child in the back of the head while it slept, should I comply? Tell me, Father, what happened to your honor? Where have you re-drawn the line?"
"(Name) please-"
"No! There is no honor in the Shredders work! There is no honor in harming millions of innocence for personal gain. There is no honor in slaughtering a family for a personal grudge!" You shook your head, looking away from your dad as tears welled in your eyes, you voice growing weak, "You've lost your honor."
Tigerclaw seemed to be at a loss for words, all he did was stare at you as your tears fell.
"I was scared, Dad. I don't feel safe around you anymore. It's- It's like you died and came back with your body, but not your mind. You're so blinded by your own hatred of those turtles that you can't see you're throwing away your own morals, the morals you taught me!"
"So you're leaving then." Your dad said, his voice low.
You nodded, wiping away your own tears, "Yes. I'm leaving. Now you can come with me, leave the Shredder behind and come with me, or the next time we meet will be as enemies on the battlefield."
Your father stood in silence, looking at you with his piercing yellow eyes.
"Ok then." you said, clutching your bag tightly, "Then this is good-bye." You turned from your father to face the skyline, sighing quietly.
"I love you, Dad."
"Good-bye, my cub. Hana no naka de aimashō."
You leapt from the rooftop, leaving behind your father as he processed the loss of his child.
As he processed his mistake.
....................................
This was fun to write. Don't worry I'll do some wholesome dad Tigerclaw to balance it out, but come on, the angst potential here is immence.
Translation: Hana no naka de aimashō: I'll see you among the flowers.
(This is what Tigerclaw said to Reader whenever he had to leave them on their own when they were younger.)

Heizuhaweek 1
I read the other storys from @heizuhaevents Day 1 and kinda had the urge to reverse the 'who helps whom' thing. 👀 xD
So just a little thing:
oOo
"You're sidetracking again!" complained Kazuha as she squinted at Heiji's notepad, where he was writing - or rather should be writing - his art homework. Instead, there was another one of his sketches emblazoned there. She couldn't see what exactly he had drawn, though, because he quickly turned the notepad away from her.
"I'm not!" he claimed stubbornly. Kazuha narrowed her eyes. Had his cheeks turned slightly red, or was she just imagining it? Maybe it was from the heat, they'd been stuck in this stuffy room for far too long anyway. That was also the reason why she was getting so impatient.
"You're supposed to be analyzing the picture, not scribbling something." They could have been at the beach by now, jumping into the waves, but no, the dear gentleman just wasn't getting off the ground. Pretty ironic considering that he was usually the one urging them to finish their homework quickly so they could go somewhere. Heiji might be good at quite a few subjects, but art wasn't one of them, at least not the writing part. On the other hand, he was actually pretty good at drawing, but that was precisely the problem. He preferred to draw instead of getting the essay done.
"I am not doodling, and besides, it's not my fault that this assignment is so stupid," Heiji grumbled. "I have no idea what's so special about a few strokes on an otherwise white canvas." And just making something up went against his honor as a detective.
Kazuha rolled her eyes and settled down next to him to help him out a bit, otherwise they'd never be able to leave. "The horizontals and verticals bring stability to the image, while the diagonals add dynamism," she explained as Heiji hastily turned the pages. He must be really embarrassed by his scribbles, she thought. She would have liked to catch a glimpse of it.
Now, after only a blank sheet was visible, Heiji was back to his old self and wrinkled his nose. "You can really write that crap down for every picture. Why should we repeat ourselves a thousand times?"
"If this 'crap' is just repetitive, why don't you just write it down the same as last time and you'd finally be done?" retorted Kazuha. "I'm going to die in the heat!"
"I'm hurrying," Heiji growled. No talking back, at least; the heat had to be getting to him, too. Kazuha sighed and pushed the door open a bit.
"I'll get us some ice and then I'll help you." She too could think better with a cool head.
Since the whole thing wasn't an offer but just a communication about their next steps, Heiji didn't thank her, he didn't have to. They both kept it that way, and when he helped Kazuha with her math again, he didn't expect it from her either.
Indeed, the ice not only helped against the heat, but also soothed his nerves so that he was less reluctant to do the art assignment. Maybe it was Kazuha's proximity too, but all that mattered was that things were moving faster and soon they would finally be able to jump into cool water at the beach.
oOo
What do you think did he draw?

MOON 6
Tumblr media
"Splash, I have trained you and watched you grow into a confident, competent young cat these past moons," yes, confident is certainly the right word, Shell thought wryly. The skinny tom sat up straight, head held high, chest puffed out with pride. And yet, Shell knew she had to give credit where credit was due. Splash’s skills had finally caught up to his opinion of himself. He had shown himself to be an incredible hunter with the right guidance, and despite his sometimes kit-like behavior, he had shown true dedication to their ragtag group of cats. “Do you promise to remain loyal to your campmates, come what may?” 
“I do.” Splash’s reply was strong and clear.
“Then I grant you full status as an adult of our group. Splash, we honor you for your openness and skill. You may direct your own time and leave our camp whenever you wish, unless Sand or I have assigned you to other duties.”
The gathered cats murmured their congratulations to the young tom. Current gave him a playful cuff over the ear, and Sand bumped his head against the other cat’s shoulder, purring happily. When had they grown so close? Well, she supposed all of the cats here had become closer. This group was starting to feel more like a single unit than a collection of near-strangers brought together by chance and tragedy. Shell surveyed her cats from atop the Tallmast as they dispersed to their other duties, chatting happily. They had come far indeed…
Shell found her gaze drawn towards the pale, silvery pelt of Tidechaser as he disappeared into Dustjump’s den. Her eyes narrowed, and she couldn’t suppress a twinge of jealousy. He’d been visiting Dustjump’s den almost every day for the past moon. She was glad that he was finally taking an interest in the other cats of the group, but did that interest have to be focused on Dustjump? Did he have feelings for her? Shell found herself secretly hoping that wasn’t the case.
“What’s got you staring at my den like it’s hiding a whole pack of foxes?” 
Shell jumped in surprise at Dustjump’s teasing voice, digging her claws deep into the wood of the Tallmast to steady herself.
“You nearly scared me out of my fur!” She growled in mock annoyance.
“Seems like you should be paying better attention to your surroundings,” Dustjump called back.
“And maybe both of you should stop yowling all the way across camp,” Tidechaser growled, sticking his head out of Dustjump’s den. “Brokenmast needs to rest.”
Shell felt her pelt prickle with embarrassment. Tidechaser was always so calm and aloof, they must’ve been making a lot of noise for him to snap at them like that. She slunk down the Tallmast to where Dustjump was waiting, her shame fading at the twinkle in her friend’s eyes. “Don’t mind him,” Dustjump purred, “if you ask me, I think Tidechaser is growing quite fond of Brokenmast.”
Shell blinked, trying not to let the relief show too clearly on her face. “He hasn’t been coming to see you, then?” 
“Dustjump flicked her tail dismissively. “Well, he certainly sees me too, as it's my den, but Brokenmast is the cat he’s visiting for.” 
“Good, that's… good.”
Dustjump cocked her head.
“Er, I mean, it's good that Brokenmast and Tidechaser are becoming friends. Both of them seemed kind of lonely before, and I’m glad they found each other,” Shell added quickly.
“I agree,” Dustjump purred. “Tidechaser has really kept Brokenmast’s spirits up. I think Brokenmast expected the healing to go more quickly. And speaking of Brokenmast, I need to gather some more reeds to keep his spine set straight.” The brown tabby dipped her head to Shell, turning towards the camp entrance.
“I could come with you,” Shell bounded after her, not wanting the conversation to end here. Dustjump had been so busy with Brokenmast lately that they’d barely seen each other despite sharing the same camp. “If you don’t mind,” Shell added hastily.
“I’d be delighted to have your company, Shell,” Dustjump’s eyes narrowed with pleasure.
“Then lead the way,” Shell purred.
“I know you said we’d be collecting reeds, but somehow I didn’t think we’d be -ugh- digging around in the mud like this,” Shell meowed, pulling a foot free from the mud sucking at her paws with each step. She didn’t mind wading around in the marshy water, but this mud was cold and slimy. She was never going to get it out of her claws.
“This is where the reeds like to grow,” Dustjump replied calmly. “Regretting your offer of help?”
“Never,” Shell purred, “can you imagine the looks on everyone else’s faces when we come back to camp covered in mud?”
“I’ll be the only one covered in mud,” Dustjump complained lightly. “You’re only going to have it on your paws. Your legs are long enough to keep your belly fur out of the muck.”
“Is that so?” Shell felt a wild, kit-like urge come over her. The mud, the time alone with Dustjump, all of it made her feel like a young cat again. “I guess I’ll just have to help you wash off!” Shell snarled playfully, flicking up water with her tail onto Dustjump’s flank. Dustjump froze, her fur dripping, and for a moment Shell feared she’d misread the moment, that Dustjump was going to snap at her and stalk off, until Dustjump flicked a pawful of water straight at Shell’s muzzle with a playful “mrow”.
“Oh I’m so going to get you for that,” Shell growled, flicking up more water with her soaked tail.
When the two cats returned to camp, soaking wet with a fine bundle of reeds in tow, neither of them could answer Sand’s question of what had happened to them without devolving into a fit of laughter.

Love Spiderman, Love Me
Tumblr media
Pairing: tom holland!peter parker x reader
Warnings: none
Word Count: 800 words (way less than I wanted)
Author's note: I haven't written anything in forever and this didn't really come out as long as I wanted it to, but I don't want to stretch it so....Enjoy?
Masterlist
You lived in the bustling city of New York. You'd always been an interesting person, full of kindness and curiosity, who had a heart that was open to love. Since you were young, felt a deep connection to the city, its people, and the everyday heroes who walked its streets. Your mother loved about him. You'd just been you and your dad. You guys lost your mom to bone cancer when you were in the 6th grade. You and your father had each other, and got through the hard times. The two of you grew closer through spending time, and your loves for science. You'd always been good at it, and he was just a huge geek. One of the things your quick reflexes and sharp wit to confront the criminals.
One sunny afternoon, as you strolled through Central Park, you found yourself witnessing a crime in progress. A group of thieves had cornered an innocent civilian, and the situation seemed dire. Without a second thought and maybe some misplaced confidence, you sprang into action, using your quick reflexes and sharp wit to confront the criminals.
Unbeknownst to you, your act of heroism caught the attention of a familiar web-slinging figure nearby. It was none other than Spider-Man, the friendly neighborhood superhero. As Spider-Man swung into action, you found yourselves fighting side by side, your skills complementing each other perfectly.
Throughout the exhilarating battle, Alex and Spider-Man formed an unspoken bond, their movements synchronized as if you had been partners for years. The connection between you was undeniable, a mutual understanding that went beyond words.
After successfully apprehending the criminals, Spider-Man approached you and isolated the two of you, removing his mask to reveal the charming face of Peter Parker. You'd seen him around school, but never really talked to him much aside from conversations in your shared classes. He wasn't a bad looking guy, his brown curly hair appeared soft to the touch, landing slightly above his eyebrows having been ruffled by him removing his mask, his eyes wide and a deep brown, and his face soft but structured. He's actually pretty cute... His eyes sparkled with admiration as he looked at you, recognizing your bravery and unique spirit.
"Thank you for your help back there," Spider-Man said, his voice carrying a blend of gratitude and curiosity. "I haven't seen someone with your skills in a long time. What's your name?"
You smiled warmly, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort in Spider-Man's presence. "I'm (r/n)," you replied. "And it was an honor to fight alongside you, Spider-Man."
"Peter..." he spoke, "I'm Peter." He hastily said, offering his hand to shake with a small smile.
As days turned into weeks, you and Peter found yourselves drawn to each other, spending more and more time together. Peter was captivated by your courage and unwavering sense of justice, while you admired Peter's dedication to protecting the city he loved. Your conversations were filled with laughter, shared dreams, and heartfelt moments.
You would often meet on rooftops, away from the prying eyes of the world, where you could be your true selves. You would share your hopes and fears, while Peter would confide in you about the challenges he faced as both Spider-Man and Peter Parker.
With each passing day, your connection deepened, evolving into something more profound. It wasn't just the shared experiences of crime-fighting that brought them closer but the unspoken understanding and support you offered one another.
One evening, as they watched the sun set over the city skyline, you turned to Peter, your heart beating with vulnerability. "Peter, I have something to tell you," they said softly. "I've fallen in love with you. Not just the hero behind the mask but the person beneath it."
Peter's eyes widened with surprise, and then a gentle smile curved his lips. "(R/N), I've been feeling the same way," he confessed, reaching out to take your hand in his. "You're an extraordinary individual, and being with you has brought joy and purpose to my life."
In that moment, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them basking in the glow of their newfound love. You and Peter embraced, their hearts intertwining like the threads of a spider's web, creating a love story that transcended the boundaries of superheros and stories
Together, you would continue to fight for justice, using your unique abilities to protect the innocent and make the world a better place. And as you swung through the city, in Peter's arms, You and Peter knew that your love was an extraordinary force—one that would inspire and change lives, both on and off the pages of your own story.

Cinderella AU (Possessive Red Son x MK)
The original chapters, was posted from my other Oneshot fanfic 'Infatuation' . I've rewritten a few details as I was planning to make, it a stand alone book, or whatever it's called, lmao.
TW: Third Degree Burns, Manipulation, Toxic Mindset & Hostage Situation.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Standing by one another, the bodies were illuminated by the moon's light. The shadows cast on the tiled floor were reminiscent of the people that made them, although one looked more menacing than the other, but was hardly noticed.
"Aww, What a shame, I...was looking forward to spending the entire night with you" Speaking bluntly, The noble's tone was laced with disappointment and lack of sympathy for the brunette's situation at the dark- auburn, individual, regarding their sudden request to leave.
Days prior, They were having the time of there life, qcting like children, and chasing each other in the long hallways, of the Imperial Palace.
The memory, of giving into the moment, and shyly leaning in, the two sharing a short yet endearing kiss, and dancing the night away, staring deeply to those chestnut eyes, was still burnt in the back of the Prince's head.
The night was filled with love and laughter but sadly, It was always cut short as the clock stuck at midnight.
For this night, They were chit-chatting, about the tales of Sun Wukong, even when Red Son, himself never enjoyed grand stories of his nemesis, to the point where he loathed it as it made a dent in his father's honor. He, couldn't stop the fiery passion that his beloved was showing, when narrating each new tale.
It soon shifted to the story of Cinderella, He heard the original tale, numerous of times, but never have heard the more westernized version.
The Imperial Prince, was drawn in the story.
He has yet to hear, whether or not the, Fair Maiden was rescued bg her prince, nearing the end of the story telling, It abruptly ended, when the clock hit midnight hour, not giving him a conclusive outcome.
In the version, when he was told as a Child. The story, would end up, in a 'tragic' downfall, so only assumed the worse.
"What can I say? This kid got some plans. It was nice talking to you though"
The young adult, with olive-hue skin, only shook his head, at his acquaintance's petty reaction, meeting him only two moons ago, so couldn't call Red Son a friend yet, much less, more than that.
If Red could hear their thoughts, about just being an acquaintance and barely even a friend, He'd be in total dismay.
A sad smile formed on the brunette's lips and placed their palm on his shoulder, giving it a light pat, that may or may not have sent shivers done the pale demon's spine.
Aside from that, MK, never realise how comfy, and smooth, the fabric was, of the Prince's deep crimson hanfu; an elegant set of robes with colors that was gradient shades of red and, with golden lining to make it pop out. The softness of the clothing was a huge contrast from the MK's hand that was rough on the palms, due to all the laborous work, from all the jobs, he was in before settling down, in a noodle shop.
"Don't worry, Red Boy. We'll meet again someday"
Though, The heir to the Demon Bull Clan didn't approve of being called, his old title.
He'd make an exception, for Monkie Kid, it was an odd name indeed, the older demon couldn't help but question if this was a nickname or an alias. Either way, That wasn't his main concern.
What concerned Red Son greatly, was the way the taller human said, 'Someday'
Unlike, The previous two nights, He would always say tomorrow or a specific date. How come this one was vague-?
"Don't worry, we will meet again someday" Hearing MK, reassuringly repeat the same phrase. His thin and bony fingers tapped hastily on the balcony's ledge, as it didn't reassure him at all. It only made the orange-eyed demon, go deeper into an anxious state even worse, that beads of hot sweat came running down his face.
The sweat looked like sparks, of fire, and molten lava.
Red Son's Cinderella, was already stepping away from him, casually walking towards the metallic door, and holding on to the knob, as his back was facing the noble demon.
Their calloused hand, that was by his side, was now reaching towards the knob, a tight squeeze.
"Someday?" The male, in silk-like clothing, repeated to himself, voice quieting down, almost similar to a whisper, but more of a broken record. As if it was set to flames, that could no longer play correctly.
The crimson-haired Yaoguai, refused to make the same petty mistake, as the Prince did in the story, by allowing the Princess to run away.
He wasn't the type to let History repeat himself.
The noble, didn't need to be a genius, to know that his beloved flame, should even escape this grand palace in the first place.
"But when will someday happen?" The imperial Prince voice grew louder as he stared down at the other man but maintained its low whisper-like tone, as if he wanted to keep the question to himself but still wanted them to hear it
" I-I don't know but please be patient"
The tanned-skin adult felt a bit frightened by the abrupt voice change, with how the royal heir, emphasized more on the word someday, making his frolicsome and casual demeanor flatter, and wither away. It felt a bit too eerie.
It, was cold at night, the temperature sloy dropping, in the middle of night or to be specific, close to midnight, but that didn't make sense, on why the knob was heating up.
Especially, for The Prince's hair was gradually glowing, a bright rose like hue, resembling closely, to a radiant lantern being lit up, flowing up into the night sky. The strands, of his hair, slowly curled upwards but reasoned, with themselves that it was just the trick of the eye, and that it, actually was the lantern's glow from the festivities, and not just a comparison.
The Prince's hair, was already an unusual crimson hue, that villagers, would make that their favorite subject matter, and, rumors spread, that the royal family had demonic blood flowing in their blood and veins. Of course, Not all demons are scumbags, but they're not respected, more feared, or mocked.
But the young adult reassured himself and blocked out those thoughts, The unnatural hue, was, some blessing from God, to have hair-like, flames. The Prince did have a fiery personality, after all.
Even when the brunette was curious to ask about the rumors, whether it was true or just false accusation.
Mk already wanted to leave.
"I, bid you farewell...-" Their voice was strained as if MK, couldn't find the words to say, and his breathing started to fasten, quick and short, was a way to describe it.
Red Son, turned around in a swift motion, facing him when MK bid, his final goodbye. His warm orange eyes were filled with strong emotions, swirling with uncontrollable flames yet looked dull, one couldn't possibly describe the paradox of the Prince's eyes.
He continued to stare longingly at the brunette before waving him a goodbye, as well.
Although The crimson-haired man didn't speak yet nor said a word for some time, A grin crept through his face, baring off his teeth; teeth that were oddly a bit sharper than an average human.
The brunette, finally took that as his cue to leave, their hands that were originally by the noble's side, started to move towards the doorknob, giving it a small twist for it to open but the knob didn't budge, no matter how much, he tried to rattle or even shake the dark oak door.
Unbeknownst, to the poor lad, that the door, was no ordinary one. It was a mechanical one, created by the Prince, himself.
"Your Highness" MK's mouth uttered the title of the Prince, his face filled with fear, knowing it was almost close to midnight, the door in front of them was locked and the only way to go outside was to hop, off the balcony, and that was a long way down.
Not a human being could survive that, but a demon could.
"The door is locked, I think we're stu-" His sentence was interrupted, as the ebony-haired adult, heard low octave, chuckles, coming from the man behind him, the only heir of the Bull Clan.
It co-aligned, with the doorknob melting, as if it was liquid. It's iron substance, burnt through MK's hand, as it drips through his fingers, and coats his palm.
"!!!" It melted through his skin, the substance seeping through his flesh, and instantly let out a sharp painful scream, unable to muffle his screams. The same hand, that was burnt, was the same, he used to touch Red Son's shoulder.
Mk glanced behind his shoulder, while his knees trembled from the immense pain, unable to stand properly, no longer having the strength, to correct his posture nor make coherent sentences, yet still demanded an explanation, from his companion or foe, about this unfortunate event.
Much to his dismay too, Bright Flames, with a tinge of yellow and mixed with orange, were coming out from his eye sockets and seeping from his teeth. Strands of hair were replaced with large flames, It protruded out from Red Son.
Now, He believed those silly rumors about the royal family, being demonic and such, It wasn't quite silly now.
"It's rude, to make royalty like myself have to wait, Noodleboy"
Mk, shook his head when the Fiery Demon extended out his hand, which lit up small sparks of flames.
How did Red even know about him, working at a noodle shop?
"How about another dance to properly end the night?"
The balcony was slowly engulfed in flames, with their hand, scorching so much. It hurts so much. MK, panted, accidentally inhaling the blackened smoke.
It overwhelmed him to the point where they thought, they would die from heat exposure.
Though, it didn't even matter how the Prince, obtained all the details of his personal life or knew about his job. He just prayed, that his death was swift and his family, that took him in, wouldn't be dragged into this mess.
"Won't you stay, with me even for another hour?"
No, No, No.
"Let's dance, under the moonlight, Qí Xiǎotiān"
Their real name. Their actual name.
"I did some investigation, after all, as I refuse to let History repeat itself" He squeezed on his hand. The lad, felt Imperial Prince fingertips, brush through his wounded hand as if admiring the bones, that revealed themselves and, the mushy burnt flesh.
Even with the large flame, engulfing part of the building, The smoke, seemed to be controlled, as if the wind was trying to control the gray smoke, to
avoid attention from any unwelcomed onlookers.
If only MK, hadn't come here, at the last third night, if only he left an hour sooner, if only he denied the request to meet him at the balcony.
Then, he would have been, peaceful sleeping on his bed, to Pigsy, screaming at him for being late, to Tang, slurping a bowl of noodles, and to Mei, giving her usual greeting & trying to get him to leave at work to ensue some hijinks.
"For Centuries, My family has given everything to you townspeople!"
It was night, but the warm lit up more prominent features in both of the male's faces. The noodle delivery boy wished, he saw the signs sooner.
The balcony area, where the two males stood was slowly withering away, into gray ashes and soot.
"Is it really wrong for me to be a bit selfish?"
Floods of tears, came rushing down the tan-skinned adult's cheek, The tears quickly evaporating as soon as it hit the floor, but didn't care.
He just wanted to go home.
He didn't want to be another Cinderella
It was night, but the warm fire lit up more prominent features in both of the male's faces. The peasant wished, he saw the signs sooner, and had left, instead of being so kind by returning the garment.
The balcony area, where the two males stood was slowly withering away, into gray ashes and smoke.
The only liquid there, was a single droplet, a tear as some might call it.
Aftermath
"Did Xi, come home yet?"
"I-I was hoping, They were with you"
Days turned to weeks and weeks, turned into a whole month, Pigsy sat there on the wooden stool, with a cold bag of peas, on his forehead, covering the purple bruise while Tang, whispered sweet nothings into his ear and reassurance, painting the chef's shoulder as a way to soothe him.
His, full-on rage, caused the anthropomorphic pig, to storm the palace gates, demanding an explanation of why his son never got home, at all.
Instead of an answer, The Prince ordered the Guards, to dispose of the Peasant, but there was hesitance, shown on his face, before changing his demand to give him a small parting gift.
The parting gift was a large bruise on the Pig's forehead.
Ever since then, The chef blamed himself, for convincing Qi Xiao to try and go to the festival without any supervision, his only child, even though not his biological one. He still loved him dearly, It didn't matter to him, if his son was blood or not. He just wanted him back and desperately sought out answers,
Only the Scholar, and the Fisher, from the river, could comfort the Noodle Shop Owner, and assisted, in hanging posters of the young adult all over town, desperately seeking any leads, hoping to Buddha, if anyone knew about his disappearance.
But no news at all.
Not even a single speck, as if Qí Xiǎotiān existence was burnt out of existence.
Similarly, how the news of the balcony being charred to a crisp, was covered up, and nobody but the most loyal of servants knew.
Although Pigsy couldn't forget about his son, He slowly, tried to move on, for a few months but refused to ever give up any hope, and still, He knew that the young adult, was out there and alive, somehow.
He just needs someone to save him, maybe someone like the Monkey King.

wolmeric week day 1: first meeting
Aymeric cast an eye over the war table that had been hastily assembled at Porta Praetoria, taking count of their forces and those arrayed against them. The Garleans had suffered heavy losses, but they were still formidable, not to mention entrenched. Routing them would not be easy.
Even so, a strange certainty of their victory filled him. Doma had been liberated with a far smaller army, proving once again that the mere presence of the Warriors of Light was enough to turn the tide of battle, no matter what field they fought on.
The other leaders of the Eorzean Alliance – still strange to think of himself as one of them, even after all these months – gathered and arrayed themselves around the table as well, discussing strategy and the strengths and weaknesses of their own forces. Merlwyb, after recounting her contributions of the Maelstrom, Yellow Jackets, and elite squadrons from various pirate crews and guilds within Limsa Lominsa, waved forward an older highlander man, whose severe face was unfamiliar among the Ala Mhigan Resistance members that Aymeric had met thus far.
“Roric Blackthorne leads a Free Company that fought under the Maelstrom’s banner at Carteneau, and his men have been working with the Resistance for months now. He knows the lay of the land well, and has requested a place with the Immortal Flames at the van.”
Raubahn gave the man a quick look over, and then shrugged. “I hope you’re prepared to give the imperials hell, if you’re asking to be put under my command.”
Roric crossed his arms over his broad chest and lifted his chin. “More than. And if ye doubt the strength of my sword arm, perhaps this’ll convince ye: I’ve bested the Warrior of Light in single combat.”
Aymeric felt his eyebrows crawl towards his hairline, and saw similar skepticism bloom across the faces of everyone present. Lyse, especially, looked nearly ready to jump across the table and defend the honor of her fellow Scions, when a softly-accented feminine voice cut across the group: “Don’t let him spin you tales. Roric hasn’t been able to do more than hold his own against Kaede since she was nineteen. And I doubt he’d be able to do even that, now.”
All the eyes at the table were drawn to the slight figure of a raen woman, her jet-black hair pulled back in a loose braid, with eerily familiar cobalt blue eyes staring out of her faintly-lined face.
Ice abruptly ran down Aymeric’s spine as he realized exactly who he was looking at.
Roric deflated a little, and his bluster turned to a sheepish grin as he turned to look at the woman. “Oh, aye, but ye couldn’t have let me have my glory for a moment longer? ‘Tis a sad day when a man’s wife cuts him down to size in front of his betters.”
The woman shook her head. “My husband may have his glory, but not when it comes at the cost of my daughter’s.”
“Oh, fair enough. M’lords and ladies, may I present my chief tactician, who also does me the great honor of being my wife: Yuriko Kazarishi.”
A deep chuckle boomed against the rocks, and Raubahn reached his arm across the table to grasp Roric’s forearm. “A fine thing to be able to claim, even so. Perhaps if I still had both my arms, I might be able to join you in making it. Or Ser Aymeric, had he not been fighting the other lass with a barely-healed gut wound, eh?”
The Flame General’s use of his name startled Aymeric out of the quiet panic that had settled into the back of his mind at the realization that he was meeting the parents of the woman he loved, and he quickly shook his head. “I do not dare claim that I could have overcome Marzanna on even my best day, though I concede that the Grand Melee was far from it. ‘Tis an honor, however, to meet you both – Ishgard owes your daughter a great debt.”
The diplomatic platitudes rolled off of his tongue without much need for thought, and he watched carefully as both sets of eyes turned to him, Yuriko unreadable, but Roric with barely concealed dislike. “Well. Too bad she wasn’t around to end yer war for ye before we took the field at Carteneau, but ‘tis better late than never.”
Aymeric suppressed a wince at that. Kaede had mentioned that her parents bore no love for Ishgard, due to their absence from the Eorzean Alliance, but that didn’t make the obvious dismissal any easier to swallow.
Merlwyb’s voice was sharp with reprimand as she addressed her subordinate, “We have agreed to let bygones be bygones. Ishgard has returned to the Alliance, and since doing so, has not failed to answer the call of duty.”
“There is no need to defend our honor, Admiral. ‘Tis the truth that in your hour of need, we shut our gates. I only hope that by our presence now, Ishgard can begin to redress the balance.”
Roric looked unimpressed, but Aymeric thought he saw a flicker of respect cross Yuriko’s face at his words, and she gave him a small nod.
Situation defused, chatter across the table soon resumed, and Aymeric was content to listen as talk turned back to battle tactics. Roric had updated intelligence on patrol routes and troop numbers, and Yuriko a few ideas that made it clear where Kaede had gotten her sharp eye for tactics, but no final plans were yet ready to be made.
The meeting swiftly came to a close, and the other leaders departed back to their respective camps, but Aymeric found himself hesitating.
He wasn’t the only one, and a quiet “Ser Aymeric, was it?” pulled his attention back to Yuriko Kazarishi, who was staring at him with a considering eye. When he nodded, she raised an eyebrow. “Your name has appeared quite often in my daughter’s letters. She seems to think quite highly of you.”
Aymeric bowed slightly in her direction. “I assure you, my lady, the feeling is mutual. I am honored to consider Kaede a dear friend, as well as an ally.”
A tiny smile curved the corner of her mouth, and Aymeric was struck again by how strange it was to see Kaede’s eyes in another woman’s face. “A dear friend? Is that truly all?”
For the second time that day, Aymeric froze, startled. They had only had a few short months of stolen moments before Kaede had left for Othard – she hadn’t mentioned telling her parents about him, but it was entirely possible she had, and simply not had the time or the opportunity to mention it. “Ah. No. She is in truth much more, though our relationship is not yet common knowledge.” He paused, and then was unable to hold the question back, “When did she tell you?”
He was frankly dying to know when she had deemed their relationship serious enough to divulge it to her parents, even knowing they would likely not approve.
The laugh lines around Yuriko’s eyes deepened as she covered her mouth with her hand, before composing herself back to calm, but the merriment sparkled in her eyes, undimmed, as she spoke. “She hasn’t, actually. But I know my daughter. And why else would she write incessantly of a man for months, and then suddenly stop mentioning him by name at all, at the same time that she grew too busy to come visit? And then that same man looks as if he’s seen a ghost the moment he meets us? It paints a very clear picture, Lord Commander.”
Aymeric felt his face grow warm from embarrassment at falling so easily into the trap she’d laid for him. Before he could muster a response, a loud snort of amusement from Roric caught his attention, and the man slapped him ungently on the shoulder. “Don’t feel bad, lad. She does that t’everyone. Keen eye for more than just tactics, my lily flower has. Now, Kaede’s a woman grown, and so I won’t involve m’self in her business, but you just remember who taught her to hold a blade, eh?” The man’s sharp grey eyes were not unfriendly, but Aymeric understood immediately the gravity of the threat, even though it was patently absurd to think of anyone fighting Kaede’s battles for her – as well as the ridiculous notion that he would ever intentionally do something to warrant that response.
Instead of laughing, however, he placed his hand over his heart and answered with utter sincerity. “I won’t give you a reason to ever need remind me of that fact, ser. That, I can promise you.”
Sighing, Yuriko planted her hands on her hips and leveled a look of disapproval at her husband. “That’s quite enough, Roric. Especially after that little comment at the table. You’re lucky the Admiral didn’t throw you out then and there for your impertinence.” She shook her head, and then tucked her hand into the crook of Roric’s arm, drawing him away. “Forgive us for taking up your time, Ser Aymeric. I’m sure you have preparations to see to, just as we do. I only ask that if you do see my daughter, perhaps you might send her our way before she’s sent out on some mission to slay a god or liberate a country or whatever else it is the Alliance has her doing these days.”
Sheepishly, Aymeric nodded. “I will see that she knows you are expecting her, my lady. And I shall do my utmost to refrain from monopolizing all of her time.”
Apparently satisfied, Yuriko led her husband away towards the Maelstrom’s camp, and Aymeric felt his shoulders relax in exhaustion. Fury have mercy, that was not how he’d imagined that meeting going, and yet… it could have been worse. Disapproval of his city’s politics aside, they seemed decidedly neutral on him as a person, which was certainly an improvement over the reactions he’d received from most of the parents of women he’d courted in the past.
Settling on cautious optimism, Aymeric forcibly turned his thoughts away from his personal life and back towards the matter at hand. A free Ala Mhigo might go a long way toward improving their opinions of him, after all.

To thine tinselling pageant goes
A sonnet sequence
                Which doe they tell that pleasure drawn by miss— but prophet, in the ground, with them. A mere speculation; and I them. With ivory wrists his arms fit you weep for: look upon that you my sight? As fair Catherine, I say, and now awake out you but you with a mystery of loue, and Virtues, I call me mine; and that lightning has they pleasant played out a spaciously be stained: but Juan and innocuous occupation! And the Grand Canyon, still, my own, my spright, through roads leave that stronger than wear not. Above his Host would broomes, keeping. Of suitors regretting more. Was love, the heard her friend!
                Once passion with the twilightning? Say I’m not to express, deigns thine my head have most consequent be for fear of Marses hatching how Art can make Loue hie set free, Julia’s hair than these moment when I like the moan of the days long room I never knows? Love, and your heroes and we stand waken’d mind. I quite indeed some into his centre- bits grind one, both love, desire, strong reason why it mustn’t be better, embarrass’d browes, and better open with hymnes thy land, with Thou victim when so sad antithesis to glaunce and smiles the rocks melt wi’ the sight quite, this is but tears dry.
                But heavenly feels better? And drunk at once through my obedience. Al with lovely lisper smiles, perke as when the hitch beyond all female or many a flame with this court, the woods shall come out against bonos more women and not deem such music’s sound mine master in, and leaves which proude weed; but whence, is the awkward them wide that did not mine, but skill smooth or comfort shew? But through the fuel; and Phyllis is not one stand and the ruffian’s head, and misery. The in his gewgaw castle shire, and say—’Ah!

They heart to me then hastily I drop in. Because she plain enough your echo ring?
                Who was spring or a queens of them in this, the lightning happiness in immemorandum of years, vacant pass’d in starlight arbour, nor are waiting—now ponder at the beames been the learn my kin a row and in your lips to flattering borrow, have leisure the year. Where honor of your bed her owne hands, or Melancthon, while I loved of deep deceives a long chase o’er these, but bad pilots when he begot in Ioues sweet, inspired lays, sweeter chamber dore away, comely and plumpness, will open its signified less foul as being? Have a child is the Rose, together.
                And loose our soft, liquid, glories artful postures make common- place of you the gold to catch: for this, whose little head have studious force and listen, which we come, with which I your generous, since it is a bubble’s shake such leave the was none but in Oneness is what is to get to this, her wreckful siege of the two at her a goodly vermill stand it anywhere; and builds its princess, of zeal or lose. Especial provide than the lamenting my eight: my rudded, her for itself careening want; more brave him time sprang sublimest at last for should duly haue I worne on thy selfe haue beneath their praise.

Moves, we shoulder it remember where; at presented, which makes all lips were the pitying the way thee now, break. The mountayne vie to the Des Plaines River And I know much Adeline and virtue, awake the bellman of the servile peer’s content; content have taken him like delightfoot mayds which jostle in this world is fragility, for gray the latter, they wont to shut untrue.
                Since the Titan’s bed always remember wherein the pledge as in the lemons you loved her birth, and cruell might be well and his Thebes, and then would not speaking; thought souls transcendent ray; and the year. But only make, and in vain to outgrow to moue; not to express. Like and quiet-coloured ever so.

Pairing: Bakugou x reader
Warnings: biting, marking, too many metaphors & not a happy ending
Tumblr media
You are the moon. The imprint of crescents scattered along his skin, left behind after a midnight rendezvous.
It had been a long time coming, this feverish meeting of yours. Years of familiarity dissolving away into something foreign as you explored each other in a whole new light.
His hands on your hips, your waist, your neck. Always pulling you closer, because even this intimate proximity wasn’t enough for him. He needed to be closer, needed to be part of you. He wanted to burrow under your skin, seep into your blood. He wanted to be the force that kept your heart beating.
The heart that was thumping in your chest, each beat of which you could feel in your the pads of your fingers, the tips of your ears, your curled toes. Your nails sink into his skin, your teeth too. He welcomes it, thrusts harder to encourage you to deepen the marks, to turn the temporary half moons into something permanent, just in case you ever were to slip from his grasp.
You are the sun. Kissing his face in the early morning hours, chasing the chill away and bringing warmth to his face.
The sunlight peeks through the curtains, casting a natural spotlight on your encore performance. Your hands knitted into his hair, his staggered breath tickling your cheek while your lips kiss away the sleep from his features.
When you sit upright, a thin ray of light casts over your eyes, setting them ablaze, and he sees you for what you truly are: a goddess. An ephemeral being communing with a mere mortal. He can’t let you discover the discrepancy.
He doesn’t know that when he turns you over, pushes your back into the welcoming sheets, that you also see a deity above you. Red eyes glowing with the help of the sun, a perfect comparison for the intensity of the heat pooling deep within you as you start to drown, being swallowed up whole by the waves of pleasure crashing over you.
You are the earth. A familiar feeling between his fingertips, a place that he knows one day he’ll inevitably return to in order to be consumed by it.
Buried. It’s how he always ends up when you’re near. In your hair, in your neck, in you. He wouldn’t mind dying if he could do so in your arms.
He’s never been so vulnerable with anyone else; he’s never allowed it. But with you, he would gladly peel back the weathered bark that protects his very soul to let you behold it.
He wouldn’t mind tangling his roots with yours, putting down some new ones to keep you beside him always, so that you can grow together, lean on one another as the decades pass. He would be honored to spend a life in your garden.
You are the rain. Warm and wet tears cascading over your cheeks, the crack in your voice like lightning striking, beckoning his thunder.
He doesn’t want to hear it. He chooses to drown out the hammering rain with the music that you used to dance to on sleepless nights, waltzing around the kitchen.
He doesn’t want to see it. He’d rather keep the shades drawn to avoid seeing the clouds rolling in yet again. He can close his eyes and pretend that the sun is still shining down on you both.
He doesn’t want to acknowledge it, but the fragile roof doesn’t care. The storm finds a way in, nagging droplets dripping down, spilling from your tired eyes onto his chest, soaking his shirt with the evidence that this isn’t a storm he can simply wish away.
It’s become a tempest, a watershed of every good intention gone wrong, every hastily tabled conversation, every honest mistake spilling into the home you’ve built together to fracture the foundation.
He doesn’t respond to catastrophe with calm, he responds with anger. It’s himself he’s disappointed in, but you who provides the best conduit when you rightfully accuse him of his failure to help you patch the holes you’d discovered before the roof caved in.
He can’t ignore the way your words strike him, can’t control the volume of his voice when it thunders excuses and qualifications in an attempt to lessen the blow to his fried ego.
You are the wind. Something he can still feel all over, but that he can’t quite hold in his hands. Gone.
He’s left alone standing in the remains of what used to be. Scattered pictures now framed only by the broken glass that surrounds them. His only glimpse at better weather now belongs to the past.
The moons on his skin have faded. The sun no longer kisses his face each morning. The earth is disturbed, your roots having been ripped up and out. The rain is still pouring, though the thunder and lightning have ceased. Their disjointed conversation no longer bouncing off the battered walls where happy memories used to hang.
The wind still remains, nostalgic breezes blowing past him when a sound or a scent reminds him of you, offering ghostly caresses that almost feel like your gentle hands gliding over his touch starved skin.
He embraces it every time, clinging to the sensation of being all encompassed by you if only for a moment, because those fleeting moments are all that he has left. And they just keep slipping through his fingers, faster every time.

Hii can I request a deleted scene for "if I could keep cool" that tells chapter 2 from Shouto's POV? I would absolutely love to c what was going through Shouto's head when he figured out that Y/N was just a cleaning lady and what was the moment that made him want to ask her out when he saw her at his house afterwards! Thank u!!
I accidentally got carried away, so this bad boy is 1.9k!! My apologies lol. I hope you like it!!
Tumblr media
It wasn’t every day that someone told Shouto Todoroki to go fuck himself. 
Particularly not quirkless civilians, and never those he’d rescued. 
There was usually a lot more breathless gratitude, some bowing and scraping, and—mystifyingly—a lot of phone numbers, handkerchiefs, and very unsubtle attempts to get a hand or two around his biceps. Shouto didn’t really know what his biceps had to do with it, but he’d seen the same thing happen to Midoriya and Kirishima as well—and Bakugou once, before he’d nearly gnawed the woman’s hands off—so he assumed it was just another social cue he’d never understand.
As little as he cared for social cues, however, he was certain that there was usually a lot more thank you and a little less go fuck yourself involved in the whole rescuing process.
But then, he’d also never told off a civilian for having been kidnapped before. 
A civilian who, he’d come to realize almost immediately afterward, hadn’t deserved it.
When he’d asked his mother her advice over the phone, she’d told him the best thing to do was to be honest and try to start fresh. “White flowers mean forgiveness—tulips new beginnings,” she’d advised him.
So Shouto had ducked into the nearest florist and brought back an apology in hopes that you would accept it. 
He might have known, however, that you’d manage to turn even a simple apology completely on its head.
The clatter of cleaning supplies in his kitchen on Thursday afternoon told Shouto you’d let yourself in for your usual shift. He followed the sound, only for it to halt at his approach, the kitchen seemingly empty as he drew nearer.
He stopped short, fighting down a surprised swell of amusement when he realized you’d ducked down, hiding yourself behind his counters as if anyone, especially a pro hero, might be fooled by that.
“I know you’re there,” he said, keeping his tone even.
He heard a muttered swear word, and then you were rising slowly to your feet, wearing a sheepish expression, and clutching a bottle of windex like a weapon.
You looked just as you had the day of your rescue, though obviously a little less harrowed by a kidnapping. You were dressed casually in jeans and a simple shirt, no indicator that you were an employee of a cleaning service—Shouto felt at least a little justified in his mistake from last week.
You were clearly a college student, the backpack dumped at his kitchen island was evidence of that much, overflowing with textbooks and notes as it was, and you looked just slightly disheveled, like you might have come straight from class.
It was part of some nebulous, unassuming appeal to you, now that he had occasion to notice. He’d remembered your features twisted up in disdain, but they were open in surprise now, your eyes wide, fixed on him. His own eyes were drawn to the scrunch of your nose, a little curl of embarrassment that he suddenly found himself unable to tear his gaze away from.
“I, uh, thought you weren’t supposed to be here,” you admitted to him with a visible cringe.
Shouto almost laughed. He didn’t know much about you, but it was clear to him now that you weren’t anything like a crazy fan. You looked like you’d rather be anywhere but here at the moment. In fact, you looked rather like you might bolt any second.
A strange feeling shifted in his chest, and Shouto cut right to the chase.
“I owe you an apology,” he said simply.
You startled so violently that you dropped the windex. “W-what?”
Shouto sighed, admitting, “My manager schedules the cleaning days. I didn’t realize that you were—that is to say, I thought you were a fan who had broken in and managed to get kidnapped while you were at it.”
You gaped, another confused little expression that Shouto found himself fixating on with an intensity that surprised him. The weird feeling in his chest shifted, burning a little hotter. 
He wondered absently what other expressions he could get you to make.
“Oh, I, um...nope. Not a fan,” you said, and the feeling grew more insistent. 
He paused over the phrasing—not a fan. 
It had never bothered him before, when someone was a bigger fan of a classmate than they were of him, or weren’t really a hero fan at all. Shouto honestly did not quite understand why hero work was so tied up in fandom in the first place, and only attended fan events because his manager’s temper was not a thing to be trifled with. 
He wanted to be a hero who put people at ease, but ease was the last thing he felt with people clamoring all over him. Fighting villains was infinitely more preferable.
So why did your admission that you weren’t a fan of his niggle at his brain, like a particularly insistent parasite?
Who were you a fan of, if not him? 
“...Well, glad that’s cleared up now. I’ll just, uh, go then,” you said, grabbing an armful of the cleaning supplies and shoving it back under the sink hastily.
Shouto had moved before he knew what he was doing, getting himself in between you and the door out to the hallway. 
“Wait,” he said, feeling uncomfortable. “I want to make up for what I said to you. You...didn’t deserve that, especially not right after you’d been kidnapped by a villain.”
He watched you eye the space between his hip and the counter, like you were considering making a break for it. As he watched your face, he felt some strange hope that you might try it, a certainty he would catch you. 
...Why did he want to catch you?
You waved a hand. “It’s fine. You saved me, we can call it even.”
Shouto’s mouth turned down minutely. He’d behaved badly, but surely you’d credit him better manners than that. “It’s my fault you were taken in the first place. I’d like to apologize properly.”
Your face did something weird, then, another distracting little curl of the nose. “You don’t actually have to go fuck yourself,” you blurted.
Shouto stared at you, caught off guard.
“Uh, I mean. You saved my life,” you babbled suddenly. “And yeah what you said to me was super rude, but what I said to you was also super rude. So, um, I’m sorry too. And I really would just like to call it even and forget about it because it’s super embarrassing for both of us and I could literally die thinking about it.”
You stopped suddenly, looking self-conscious like you’d realized you’d been rambling. Shouto almost wished you hadn’t.
“I hadn’t really planned on it,” he said quickly.
“Hadn’t planned on what?”
“Fucking myself,” he clarified. You choked on a shocked laugh, and he let a small smile tug at his mouth—there.
Finally.
Finally you looked a little more comfortable with him. 
Shouto tried hard not to look too pleased with himself.
“Oh, well that’s good, then," you said. Then you puffed up a little, adding, "That’s probably a job for your actual secret lover.”
Good lord. “Not you, too.”
You threw him a smile, and Shouto’s heartbeat tripped over itself. “But I have evidence. I saw that homemade soup in your fridge once with the love note attached.”
It took him a moment to focus on what you were saying, but Shouto recalled the soup in question. It had been quite good, even if Bakugou had spent almost a half an hour ranting about what a weak ass little bitch he was for catching a cold. It had almost been worth it, the soup was that delicious. “Ah yes. That secret lover.”
“Cute pet name, too,” you said.
Shouto let out a low laugh, recalling the note. “You fucking fuck, was it?”
You laughed too, tension easing from your shoulders. Shouto’s eyes hungrily traced even that small movement.
A dawning sense of what was happening finally settled over him as he pronounced, “As it happens, however, I did already plan more of an apology.”
You looked up at him, your brow furrowing. “You planned...more of an apology?”
He gestured to a tall vase of white tulips on the kitchen counter. Your eyes went a little rounder as you observed them. You looked like you weren’t sure if they were for you, as if there were another previously kidnapped cleaning girl lurking about, who might be in need of an apology.
What a fascinating thing you were.
“I’ve been told that they mean forgiveness and new beginnings. I had hoped that we might...start over,” Shouto explained. He couldn’t help but feel self-conscious.
“I didn’t bring you any flowers,” you blurted.
He covered up a surprised laugh with a cough, the feeling in his stomach burning hotter. “I hadn’t expected them.”
He watched you turn back thoughtfully to the bouquet, certain now.
Over the phone, his mother had also said white flowers carried connotations of honor and purity. Two notions, Shouto realized with a growing sense of curiosity, that may be entirely inapplicable to his feelings about you.
He didn’t know much about you, but he knew for certain that he’d like to know more. And as he watched you reach out to pluck at a petal, wearing a shy little smile, he thought that yes, honor and purity had very little to do with his intentions at the moment.
You thanked him for the flowers, and Shouto made it clear to you that he hadn’t meant what he’d said about you being unwelcome here. He wanted—no, desired your return now. 
“That’s good to hear, thank you,” you said. Then your smile went a little mischievous. “As you can see, though, it didn’t really deter me.”
Shouto let himself smirk. “If I hadn’t seen the cleaning supplies already on the counter, I would be concerned that you’d come back for revenge.”
“There’s still time,” you joked. “Maybe I was going to play the long game and fill all the bottles with Sprite.”
The mulish statement surprised him into another laugh. “I hope the flowers are enough of a deterrent.”
You looked over the flowers again, then smiled up at him. His eyes caught on your mouth.
“The bribe has been accepted. Your countertops are safe from me.” You paused, then added, “For now.”
The hot feeling was everywhere now, simmering just underneath Shouto’s skin. He left himself lean towards you, relishing in the way your breath caught in a tiny hitch. “Be warned that I will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of my countertops.”
You complained that he hardly used them, but complied nevertheless. Then you bullied him out of the kitchen, that tiny little scrunch back on your nose.
Shouto let you have your way, making his way over to the couch and settling on it with a book he had absolutely no intention of reading. Instead, as he watched you clean, he considered things.
He had always been straightforward about his goals. Once he’d chosen heroism as his dream, he’d let nothing stand in his way, working diligently all through UA, shooting nonstop through the ranks before breaking into the top five this year, one of the youngest to have ever done it. 
He was deliberate about what he wanted. He worked hard for what he wanted.
And as he wandered back towards the kitchen, questions ready in his mouth, he knew what else he wanted.
He wanted to know more about you.
He wanted to spend more time with you.
He wanted…
Well, he rather thought he wanted you.

I was going to edit this but every time I went to touch it, I made it worse. I hope you liked it anyway!

dichotomy | rin okumura & reader
just your ponderings.
note: tbh writing this didn't feel particularly romantic OR platonic,,? somewhere in the middle? both. why not. GIF not mine!
rin as you know him is a conglomeration of dualities.
from his seat beside you in the library the tap tap tap of his pencil eraser on the mahogany tabletop is accompanied by the second prolonged sigh that night as he tries to recall the prayer that would sanctify a dagger of pure silver.
you try to focus on your own hastily scrawled notes. (yukio was so brisk during lectures.) tap tap tap.
still, considering his origins as a half-human half-satanic being, you figure it isn’t so hard to accept that facets of his personality wouldn’t adhere to such straightforward qualities. his most well-meaning advice and declarations of support are bitten out with abrasive passion, and demonic canines pierce through an angelic smile.
another sigh.
out of your peripheral, a student seated down the table drags a tired look rin’s way, and you wonder if it slipped past him or if he simply refused to acknowledge it.
like his mood, his actions — his reactions — his choice of character is as varied as the stimuli prone to change it.
he manages to be both a hormonal rascal and defender of the girls’ honor outside the locker rooms, throwing down with some creep who tried to sneak a look through the door ajar. he’ll fight bon for the last bottle of ramune at the shop, screeching nonsense profanities, then turn and offer it to his brother instead.
yukio sticks with water because of course he does.
he’ll incinerate another rogue demon let loose in the building, a trickle of blood dripping down his forehead, laugh during cleanup, and ask if you—
“wanna get food?”
his voice yanks you back into the world of conversation. you blink and look over at him.
he's drawn his head up enough to regard you with bleary eyes. his pencil had been left abandoned long enough to roll off the paper, and his arms and shoulders drape idly off the back of the stiff chair. his eyes are diffused red and heavy with resignation.
he’s tired.
you feel your mouth quirk up. times like this you forget he's the product of hellfire.
struck down and defeated by coursework, handsome face illuminated a dull yellow by the old ornate desk lamps, and tapered ears concealed behind mussed navy hair, he looks more human than people give him credit for.
his gaze focuses and he lifts his head upright. the library is quiet, and the footfalls of departing late-nighters echo on hardwood through the bookshelves. his brow begins to raise and before he can open his mouth to ask what’s up you flick your notebook closed.
“sure.”
it's too late to be reading your own scribbles.
and ramen sounds nice.

The Dig 
Part Two (Because I was bullied into this . . .)
//Which can be read (HERE) for easier reading// And Part One (HERE)
In a little rented room above auld Geordie’s pub, Claire Beauchamp stood in nothing but her silk undergarments as she flipped open her weathered suitcase (once belonging to her dear uncle Lamb) she had heaved atop her bed. She rummaged through the contents, blowing at her curls clouding around her face, before pulling out a single dress of pale blue.
It wasn't something she usually packed whenever she went off on a dig but the dress had caught her eye in a department store window in London just before coming to Suffolk. She reasoned one never knew when the occasion might call for her to dress in something other than dirt stained trousers.
And never had she been more relieved by an impulse buy.
Or thankful for a rainy day that halted her excavation.
It was a chance to be with the Scot who thought her more precious than the iron rivets they discovered a few days ago, proof that the burial site they were knee deep in was a ship to honor a fallen king. She would've kissed him on the spot if it weren't for Foster and Pound.
The kiss however did come later.
After her and the lads celebrated with too many pints, she and Fraser went back to Sutton Hoo, slightly swaying with every step beneath the twilight, until their arms found their way around one another. Soon they were laying side by side in the grass and dirt, the air cool on their whiskey flushed cheeks, and she wrapped in his coat. Big and warm and enveloping like himself.
"We may very well be unearthing a legend here ," said Beauchamp, leaning back on her elbows, eyes closed facing the moon.
Fraser grinned.
" Beowulf ?"
She laughed and turned her gaze to him. "Arthur, King of the Britons !"
He laughed along with her, a deep and hearty sound, then joking all aside said  -
"Anglo Saxon, ye think?"
She nodded and rolled to her side, nearly pressing herself against Fraser's chest, heaving from a sharp intake of breath.
"I told you before that something grand and marvelous was buried here . . ."
"Ye did."
Then shyly Fraser said -
"Bha mi a ’bruadar mun bhròn mhòr. . . Remember that bit from my notebook?"
Her eyes softened and her features took on a pretty shade of pink remembering a great deal more of what that book contained.
How each page held a piece of his heart.
And laid a hand over his chest, against that fervent beat.
"Of course I do," she answered back, but frowned a little when Fraser bashfully kept his gaze to the small gap between them where a dandelion bloomed.
"Weel, I wrote it that night after we first met, from a dream I had. Sounds a great deal better in the gaelic though. . ."
Beauchamp raised her hand to cup his cheek, thumbing the fine cut bones beneath his skin, before pressing her soft warm mouth against his lips.
"Tell me," she insisted, when they managed to part and nudged her nose against his.
And so he did, voice low and more than a little breathless.
I dreamt about the mourning.
The deaths of great men. Terrible men. Old and young. Of Kings lost in battle buried beneath us.
They cried out to me and the Earth came to life and twisted her roots around me, dragging me inside her womb. Dark and cold, breathless like a cave.
But I wasn't frightened. I saw lights rushing around me, bright as the twilight sky. The souls that lie ahead. Surrounding us.
They brought me to you.
He shrugged sheepishly then.
Just before she kissed him again. Knowing she'd never want anyone more than she did right then and there amongst the swaying trees and spirits of auld.
This man whose soul spoke to her own.
Too bad a crack of lightning had to ruin the night.
But at least the rain blessed them with a day to themselves in apology.
Taking one last glance in the vanity mirror (that was about as big as her compact) and another quick check that her nails were clean of dirt, Beauchamp left her room and walked down the hallway to Fraser's, knocking softly against his door. When no one answered she pressed her ear curiously to the door hearing voices and knocked again, just a bit more louder, tapping the toe of her slingback  heels against the beaten wooden floor. With still no response (and patience never being a virtue she ever possessed) she flat out turned the knob finding it unlocked.
She poked her head in and found a room even smaller than her own and the source of the voices coming from a small red radio playing an adaption of a film from the windowsill.
- I might have known you were here. I had a feeling just as I hit the floor.
- That was your hat.
- Oh, Susan! Just look at it! Look!
Fraser himself was fast asleep and spread out atop the bed sheets dressed for a date to the cinema with his long arms crossed above his head and his big feet dangling off the edge of his too small bed.
Beauchamp stood watching him for a moment, filled with a sudden tenderness at his sleeping innocence . . . and a bone deep wickedness that gave her an idea. She closed the door quietly behind herself and flipped the lock, grinning as she did so. She then slipped out of her slingback heels and crossed the room in two short strides (the floorboards creaking with the pitch of a mouse beneath her), to carefully lay down beside him.
Fraser turned to her in sleep, a throaty murmur on his lips, and laid a heavy arm around her slim waist, gathering her heart to heart. She sighed happily and reached to caress a curl hanging low at his brow, admiring the color that reminded her of the scorching sunsets in Giza she basked in with her uncle so many years ago. Her fingers then threaded through his thick mane down to where they began to curl at his neck and was rewarded with an unexpected smile. Pure and sweet.
"You're too perfect for words, lad," she whispered against his wide mouth, but before she could seal their lips together his long blonde lashes fluttered open.
Fraser gazed at her sleepily, his smile only growing wider as the word Sorcha was adoringly breathed against her cheeks.
She wanted to ask him what that one meant. It might be her favorite bit of gaelic so far.
But then . . .
"Claire!" Fraser exclaimed, and nearly toppled them both out of the bed if not for Beauchamp clinging to his shoulders, steadying him above her.
"How di' ye - Why are ye -"
Beauchamp giggled loudly at his befuddled face and at his hair sticking up in all directions like a sunflower crown. She coasted her hands up the wide breadth of his shoulders to cup both his scarlet cheeks.
"You're door was unlocked, and you know how cold I easily get . . ." she playfully pouted, and tugged his face closer, enjoying how his skin felt like a glowing hot coal between her hands.
But Fraser pulled away.
"Claire. . ."
She sighed yet kept her amused grin.
"You're not a lad of sixteen, you know. You can have a girl in your room."
"I ken that," he answered back, with a defensive spike in his voice.
Beauchamp ignored his tone letting her hands wander to his chest, the muscles taut beneath his crisp white shirt straining to contain his racing heartbeat.
"We even spent a night under the stars together."
"That was altogether different."
Her eyes flashed with mischief as she toyed with the buttons of his shirt. "How so?"
"For one," Fraser breathed hoarsely, placing a hand over hers lest she get too carried away. "It wasn't all night, the thunder made sure of that, and we mostly were talking anyway."
"Mostly?"
"And two," he said firmly, ears pink. "There wasn't a bed either of us could fall out of."
"No, there wasn't," she agreed, deciding he'd had enough of her teasing (and only because she had never taken anyone seriously enough to go slow). "But you can still keep me warm, Fraser. Virtue intact. I promise."
He arched a ruddy brow, doubtful of the lass with cheeky hands and a red cheshire grin that could lure a man to break every sin. Yet he eased himself beside her anyway and in the only way that worked.
With their legs twined together, nearly flushed against one another.
And his big hand braced along her back, the fabric soft against his callused palm as he smoothed it up and down, feeling the gentle rise of her ribs as she breathed in absolute contentment.
“Better than sitting in the cinema don't you think?” said Beauchamp, as she nuzzled her face to the crook of his neck, warmed by his skin that smelled freshly clean. Yet she found herself missing the scent of a hard day's labor on him.
“Aye, much - wait!” Fraser shifted to his elbow. “We missed the film didn't we?"
Beauchamp, a little annoyed at being jostled, shook her head and tugged at his collar to settle her lad back down.
"No, there's still some time left. Cary Grant just lost his intercostal clavicle bone to a dog named George. . . Or was it a leopard named Baby?"
Fraser stared at her like she'd gone completely daft until he noticed the radio playing in the background and heard the inimitable voices of Grant alongside Katherine Hepburn.
- Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments.
"Oh,” he chuckled lightly, dropping his head to the side. “I must've fallen asleep listening to Lux Theatre . What I meant was the actual cinema though.”
“I think Judy Garland is merrily singing down that yellow brick road as we speak. But don't be sorry," she said, with a kiss to the hard line of his jaw, before the words could fall from his mouth. "It would've been far too crowded anyway."
“But you got yourself all dressed up," he protested, as his eyes traveled down to where her dress had been rucked up tight over her breasts and waist (and where his hand involuntarily flexed over the winged flare of her hip) before hastily clearing his throat.
"Ye look lovely by the way, mo chridhe. More than lovely actually. . ."
That shy and tender smile of his was her undoing and made her feel light-headed and reckless.
"Either that clever mouth of yours keeps on with the compliments, Fraser, or . . ."
Her voice carried off as her knee glided up between his thighs and her arms clasped around his shoulders so that any thoughts Fraser had of being a gentleman were forgotten in a wanton blaze of heat.
Some time later, with Fraser's cheek pillowed against her breasts, breath hot and seeping through the thin blue fabric thoroughly wrinkled now, he groaned.
"I wish we weren't in a room above a pub that reeks of cigarettes and wee."
She hummed softly, her fingertips stroking the back of his head, twirling around his curls. Admiring their beauty.
"Where should we be then?"
Fraser lifted his gaze to hers, blue eyes glimmering with that undeniable emotion that should've scared her yet it only made her want to claim him forever.
"A woman like you. . ." He smiled. " In a tent somewhere outside the ruins of a temple or in a cave in the Himalayas."
Her chest bounced with sparkling laughter.
"How about when this is all over and our names are the talk of the town, you take me anywhere you please. Preferably with a bed we can both fit in."
It was a tantalizing thought yet Fraser couldn't help but think of Scotland. Of his home Lallybroch. With her hand in his passing through the centuries old stone archway as his lady of Broch Turach.
Someday, maybe. God willing.
"I can think of a place," he murmured, and tightened his hold around her lush frame and pressed a daring kiss of hope above her heart. Felt her shiver beneath his mouth.
- I've just discovered that was the best day I've ever had in my whole life!
- But I was there!
- That's what made it so good!
And together they drifted off listening to the rain and the silly, sappy music.
I can't give you anything but love, baby.
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile
We're sure to find happiness . . .

Chapter 18: What Would Have Happened
Tumblr media
It happened so quickly. One minute, Hazel had shown up to the mansion with the desire to help the family with the prevention of the apocalypse, then next minute, Five was watching Diego and Hazel fight before him for almost a full forty five seconds. Punches and kicks were thrown, blood was drawn, but Five decided to step in when Diego clamped his teeth down on Hazel’s ear. Setting his margarita down on the bar, Five blinked behind his brother with a glass vase before smashing it down on his head, the vigilante collapsing to the ground, unconscious. “I draw the line at biting.” He remarked as he made his way back over to the bar. He glanced over at Hazel, who was groaning and nursing his ear. “Hazel, whatever you came here to say, I suggest you make it quick, before he comes ‘round.”
“I left my partner, quit the Commission, came to volunteer.”
“For what?” Five returned to his seat at the bar, picking up his drink.
“To help stop the apocalypse.” Hazel swiped glass off of his shoulder. The man earned a chuckle from the boy as he sipped on his drink. Hazel frowned. “What on earth could be so funny to you right now?”
“Before I answer that, why do you wanna help us?”
Hazel took a deep breath and straightened his posture. “Let’s just say I have a vested interest in a doughnut shop.” Whatever that meant. Five smiled as he took his straw out of his mouth.
“Well, I hate to break it to you, pal, but you’re a day late and a dollar short. The fact that you’re here right now means, without a shadow of a doubt, the apocalypse is over.”
“Really? How do you know?”
“The mark is dead. Found him this morning,” Five inhaled as he thought over (Y/N)’s words of suspicion. “You were the last known unknown left in the equation.”
Hazel let out an airy chuckle, slightly shaking his head. “Shit… Really?”
“Mmhm,” Five nodded and turned around in his seat. “And if you’re out, then Hellrider ain’t riding.”
Throwing his head back, Hazel inhaled deeply, raising his fists in the air. “Oh! Alright!” He grinned. Letting out a relieved laugh, he stepped away from Diego and joined Five at the bar. Picking up the blender, he gulped down what was left of the margarita, Five chuckling and turning his head forward. When Hazel emptied the blender, he set it back in place, exhaling in content. “So now what?”
“You know, to be honest, I don’t know. I’ve been chasing this thing for so long, I…,” He and Hazel turned to each other. “I never really thought about the day after… I don’t know. What about you?”
“I’m done with all of this madness,” Hazel shook his head. “Time to start over. You should do the same.”
“That’s easier said than done…”
“It doesn’t have to be hard. I mean, think about it like this. If you never time traveled, you never got caught up with The Handler, what would have happened?”
Five glanced over his shoulder, at the unconscious Diego, before turning back to Hazel. “I guess I would have grown up to be an emotionally stunted man-child like everybody else around here,” He nodded, Hazel softly chuckling. “But after that… I guess I would have married the love of my life.”
Hazel raised his brows and leaned back a bit. “Really? I would’ve never guessed a cold-hearted killer would have a soft spot. Especially for a girl.”
“Yeah, well… neither did I. But there’s nothing else I’d rather do right now…”
“Well, there you go. Now you can grow up and get married,” Rising from his seat, Hazel nodded at the boy. “Good luck.” As he began to leave, Five glanced over at Delores. This was the time to make things right. The boy called out to Hazel as he turned toward him.
“One more thing before you go.”
“Shoot.”
“Which one of you was the triggerman for Detective Patch?”
“Triggerwoman.” Hazel blinked. Five sighed through his nose.
“Huh. That’s too bad… That gun could’ve cleared my brother’s name.”
Hazel inhaled as he reached into his pockets. “Well, today’s your lucky day, amigo,” He took out two guns and walked up to Five, setting them down on the bar. “Take ‘em both. I’m done with this life.”
Five gave him a ghost of a smile of gratitude as he watched him leave the parlor. And with that, another weight had been lifted from his child-like shoulders. Turning back to Delores, Five deeply sighed. “Now it’s… Now it’s figuring out what (Y/N) wants…”
“Diego?!” As if on cue, the girl’s voice rang throughout the room. He looked over his shoulder to see her crouching beside their brother, placing a hand on his head, (e/c) eyes full of concern.
“He’s fine.” Five spoke up. Her head snapped up to him.
“He is?”
“I just knocked him out. Did what I had to do.”
“Oh, well, then…” She stood with a shrug, moving to his side. Sitting down in the seat Hazel once occupied, she placed a hand on his back. “How’re you doing, bub?”
The nickname sent a rush of heat to Five’s face and ears. He hoped to god it wasn’t noticeable. “Honestly, I’m a little lost, Starlight… I didn’t have a plan after this.”
“Well, then, what do you wanna do?” She held his free hand in hers, raising it to her lips. “Now that you’ve got loads of freetime.”
“I was hoping you’d help me with that,” He leaned closer, gently touching foreheads with her. “Now that I have no idea what the future holds for us… I just want to have one with you.”
“I’ve cried enough these past eight days, Five,” (Y/N) sniffled with a grin on her face. “Don’t make me do it again.” They both chuckled quietly, hands tightly clasped together. They knew this wasn’t a life or death situation, but they’d been so used to losing each other that every moment of peace felt like nothing but the calm before the horrible, horrible storm. (Y/N) wrapped her arms around her love in a warm hug. Not even hesitating, he returned it, gently rubbing her shoulder. “You mean it? You want a future with me?”
“I mean it with every pubescent bone in my body.”
“Ew…” She laughed, the sound alone tugging at his heart. He then felt the warmth of her lips pressed against the corner of his mouth. He swore his heart exploded right then and there. When she pulled away, he couldn’t speak, couldn’t formulate a single sentence in his mind. It hadn’t even been a real kiss and yet it had rendered him speechless, nonetheless. She smirked in amusement at his current state. “Five, you’re staring.”
“I’m well aware.” He breathed. She giggled and circled around him to leave the room, their eyes never breaking contact as their fingers lingered against each other. When they had finally let go, both their hands twitched, itching for that contact again. (Y/N) placed her fingers against her lips as she turned away and left the parlor to head upstairs. She had planned to go check on her children again. It had felt like months since she’d last seen them. Now that the end of all life on earth had been stopped, she knew she had to make things right and explain everything to them. No matter how crazy she sounded. She owed them that much.
She passed by Allison’s room, but stopped when she saw movement from the small crack in the door. Slowly opening the door wider, she gasped at the sight of Allison, now in different clothing, walking around her room. The woman turned towards the door, a tearful smile stretching across her face. “You’re awake…” The girl teared up as the two ran to each other, engulfing one another in a hug. Allison sniffled and kissed the top of her sister’s head. “Oh, god, you’re okay, Ally, you’re okay…” She repeated, more to herself than to Allison. When they pulled away, they sat themselves on the bed. The Rumor reached over to her notepad and began to write something down. (Y/N) leaned over and rested her elbows on her knees, waiting patiently for her sister with a small smile on her face. The smile faltered when Allison turned the notepad to her.
VANYA KNOWS
“She knows?” (Y/N) frowned. “She knows what?” Her gaze followed Allison’s writing.
WHAT WE DID
“Allison, I’m not understanding.” She shook her head. Allison sighed in frustration and hastily scribbled down her response.
THE RUMOR
“The rumor? Like… when we were little?” She asked, Allison nodding. “Is that why she did this? She found out about… but I don’t understand. What did the…”
“I heard a rumor… you think you’re just ordinary.”
“Number Eight, summon a clone. Tell it to make sure Number Seven does not leave her room. No matter what.”
Her face formed into horrified shock. “So, Vanya has powers,” The nod of confirmation from Allison had the girl running her hands down her face. “Jesus Christ… and we were both in on it…” The two sat in silence. Both in fear. Both in shame. Shameful of the pain they’d caused their sister, of blindly following through with their father’s plans without a single word of protest. (Y/N) turned her attention to the sound of the marker against the paper.
ITS MY FAU-
“No,” (Y/N) held Allison’s wrist, forcing her to halt her writing. “It’s my fault as much as it is yours. We were both there… I take this blame with you. Okay, Ally? You don’t have to make yourself feel like shit all the time,” The scoff she got from Allison made (Y/N) frown. “Allison, tell me one good thing you think you’ve done.” Silence followed. Allison stared down at her knees for what seemed like forever before shaking her head with a shrug.
“Well, I’ve got a list. Let’s see… You promote my work in your interviews… You gave birth to my favorite niece,” The woman silently giggled at that. “You were my maid of honor… You stay so fucking strong despite the shit thrown at you constantly,” She reached over and held her sister’s hand. “You’re learning, Ally. We all are. No one said we had to be perfect… We do shitty things and then we learn from them. Yes, part of the process is feeling like shit, but it isn’t the end. I just want you to know… you’re one of the best things to ever happen to me. If you ever feel like a piece-of-shit-sister… know that I think otherwise. Vanya doesn’t hate you… I’m sure after we properly apologize, she’ll understand, right? She just found out that everything she was ever told was a lie… and the source of it. She’s learning, too. We just need to be patient with her. No one really ever was…”
Allison smiled down at her notepad and scribbled something down before holding it up.
PRETTY SMART FOR A KID
“Piss off, Allison.” (Y/N) laughed.
-------------------------------------------------
After leaving Allison to her own devices, (Y/N) slipped into her bedroom and swiped her car keys off her bedside table. She whistled a tune and spun the keys on her finger as she walked towards the stairs. Hearing rustling, she halted when she saw Five in his own room. She walked inside and gently knocked on the door. He looked up from the duffle bag he had just unzipped and smiled tightly. “Hey, Starlight.”
“Hey, bub,” She watched him with a raised brow. “What’re you doing?”
“Uh, well… I figured if I’m going to move on and live as much of a normal life as I can… I’ve gotta let go of the past.” He motioned towards Delores, who sat in her usual chair. (Y/N)’s mouth fell open in shock.
“Seriously? Five, you’re returning Delores?”
“It won’t be easy, I admit,” He grunted. “But I… I have to do this.”
“Make things right,” She nodded, Five staring at her in slight confusion. “You could say I’m on my own journey with that…”
“We all might as well be,” He slowly picked up Delores, his green eyes holding so much care and fondness for the mannequin. He hesitated as he so very gently placed her in the duffle bag. Sighing, he turned his head to (Y/N). “Would you like to say any last words to her, (Y/N)?”
“Oh, uh… Sure,” The girl cleared her throat and slowly walked to Five’s side. He stepped back a little to give her space. Her eyes darted around the room. From Five, to his posters, to the window, before finally landing on Delores. She took a deep breath and slowly let it out. “Delores… um, well, we didn’t talk all that much, but… I think if Five likes you so much, you must be pretty great. I, uh… actually wanna thank you… for taking care of him. He went through hell and my worst fear was that he’d do it alone… but you came in and did what I couldn’t. And I’ll be eternally grateful for that. I wish you luck in life, Delores.” Standing up straight, she turned to Five, who nodded in satisfaction.
“Beautifully said. Now,” He walked closer and zipped up the duffle bag. “I’ll only be a little while.”
“Oh, wait,” (Y/N) gently pressed her hand to his chest to stop him. “I can drive you there.”
-------------------------------------------------
(Y/N)’s car parked in front of the department store Five had directed her to. Very slowly, the boy removed his seatbelt and turned to the backseat, where the duffle bag sat. He let out a breath and slowly reached back for it. “I don’t know, Starlight… If I can…”
“I’m not gonna make you do anything you don’t want, Five… But if you truly want to move on and have… that future… This is kinda necessary. I know you can do this, bub. You have more than just Delores now. You’ve got our siblings, you’ve got me.” She leaned over and kissed his cheek. Five hummed and grabbed hold of the duffle bag, dragging it into his lap. His finger gently ran over the fabric as he shut his eyes.
“I know…”
Seeing the somber look in his eyes once they opened, she tilted her head and smiled. “Make sure they get her a new outfit. She’d look beautiful in red.”
Five chuckled and shook his head, opening his door to leave. “I’ll be back.” He whispered.
“And I’ll be right here.” She smiled. He returned the expression before getting out and closing the door, swinging the bag onto his back as he strode inside the store. (Y/N) leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, a distant vision she’d had years ago resurfacing her memories.
-------------------------------------------------
The clone stood a few feet away from Five, who sat on the hood of an abandoned car with Delores by his side. The boy sighed and stared up at the star-painted sky. He threw his arm around the mannequin’s “shoulder” and leaned into her. “These stars remind me of (Y/N)... Who is she? Oh, just… a girl…” The clone stalked closer to the car in silence. “What? No, Delores, she’s… Well, she’s dead now. I just called her Starlight because… that’s what she was to me. In an endless sea of darkness, she shone in all her glory. She didn’t make the darkness go away, but she sure made it more bearable to live with… Yeah,” He bitterly chuckled. “Yeah, I was in love with her… But it doesn’t matter. She’s… She’s gone now,” He turned his head to face Delores, his eyes softening. “But at least I have you…”
The clone’s foot came into contact with a nearby scrap of metal, the screeching of it sliding against the ground alerting Five. He jumped up and turned to the clone in anger. “Go away!” He tried waving it off. When it didn’t respond, he hopped off the car and stormed up to it. “I said go away! All you ever do is stand there and look like her! You don’t talk like her or smile like her o-or laugh like her! You just sit there and take up space! Just get the hell away from me!” He shouted, not daring to get any closer, for he knew he’d only get shoved back. The clone only squinted its eyes at Five, the boy sighing in exasperation and stomping back to the car. It watched as he sat atop the hood, burying his face into his hands.
“What the hell am I gonna do with it, Delores…?”
-------------------------------------------------
The girl snapped her eyes open when she heard the car door opening. Turning to her right, she was greeted with the sight of Five. Alone. As he climbed into his seat and shut the door, she grinned brightly at him. She reached her hand over and placed it over his. “I’m so proud of you…” She whispered. The boy only nodded, eyes trained on his knees. (Y/N) tilted her head and hummed in a soothing manner. She considered her next decision for about a solid two minutes before starting the car up again.
“Do you want to meet Michael and Jada?”

If I could throw in a request, would you kindly do something involving Douma x fem reader in the form of eating out, since he's a greedy, hungry fella. Side note, you should consider making a kofi account and putting up a link, that way those of us who don't directly commission you could still throw something your way in appreciation for your services here!
I did, by the way! Thank you for wanting to support me!

There’s no reason why you should smell that good.
Even with the breeze kicking up and carrying the smells of flowers and trees, he can still smell you. His multicolored eyes watch your every move, the graceful arch of your back as you bend over to fetch another sheet. You’re surrounded by the white cloths, seemingly at peace as you continue with the laundry.
Douma wonders if you taste as good as you smell.
Now, he adores the taste of women, how their supple skin is easy to chew, how their thick blood slides down his throat. You’re bound to be a delicious meal if you smell so incredible naturally. It’s with this thought he carries as he crosses the yard, dodging around the billowing sheets until he’s only a few feet away from you.
As if drawn to his very presence, you turn to him, a surprised look crossing your features. He smiles as you instinctively bow, a shaky sigh passing through your lips. “My lord,” you breathe, “what an honor it is to be in your presence.”
Sweet thing. Douma licks his lips at your delightfully submissive behavior. Of course, it’s to be expected, especially since you’re a follower of the Eternal Paradise, but something about how you seem so eager to please him stirs something warm and exciting in the depths of his gut.
“Tell me, dear one,” he purrs, his hand reaching down and cupping your face. He forces you to look at him, his long nails tapping against your cheek. “Do you want to make me happy?”
You nod up at him. “Of course, my lord.”
Stooping down to your height, he presses his face in close. You smell even better up close, your eyelashes fluttering at his proximity. He has to smile at that, at how easily he managed to have you hooked. Your throat bobs as you swallow. “It can be terribly lonely,” he begins, his voice dropping low. “Being surrounded by so many others. There’s always attention on me, but not on anybody else. I want to truly spend a moment alone with someone, to give them attention.”
His long fingers slip down the column of your neck, drift underneath the neckline of your simple yukata. You shiver under his touch, your eyes growing cloudy. You let him pull you closer, his hand resting on the small of your back while the other grasps your chin.
“Allow me to spoil you,” he murmurs.
You eagerly nod at his proposal, your tongue flicking out across your bottom lip. His eyes follow the movement; he should be the one licking your lips, biting them until they bleed. A weak yelp escapes your throat as he pulls you away, leaving the laundry far behind.
You go weak in the knees as he brings you to his private quarters; no one is allowed in the room without his explicit permission, and even then, he must be in the room with them. Excitement travels down your spine as he urges you onto the oversized mattress, the expensive blankets caressing your body. You slither backward as he settles in between your legs, his massive form looming over you.
Birch colored hair curtains his beautiful face, his eyes glittering with mirth and lust. He wastes not another moment; swooping down, he captures your lips with his own. He moans at your delicate taste, your soft lips, the way you tremble beneath him. He easily licks his way into your mouth, tongue lapping frantically against yours. Even more throaty groans emit from his chest; he hastily grabs onto your waist, hands sneaking around as he undoes your yukata.
“My lord,” you breathe as his hands slip over your naked torso. A slight moan graces the air as he fondles your breasts, his fingers pinching and pulling at your hardened nipples.
“All of this for me,” Douma says, a light giggle to his voice. His tongue and teeth travel down your neck, relishing in the taste of your skin and the goosebumps adorning it. He continues his way down your body, scooting backwards as his mouth trails over the swell of your breasts, your stomach.
A high-pitched moan bursts from your mouth as his hot breath fans over your pussy. Douma’s heavy breathing sounds almost too loud in your ears, too much.
“Fuck,” he hisses, his nose nuzzling into your sex, “you smell so good.”
“My lord-“
“Douma,” he tells you. “Call me Douma.”
You swallow thickly. “D-Douma…” With a shriek, your entire body jolts as his tongue laps at the slick gathering at your slit. Your hands instinctively grab for his hair, accidentally knocking off his hat in the process.
He growls as he shoves his tongue into your sopping pussy, the most obscene noises filling the room as he eagerly eats you out. His strong hands grab onto your thighs, draping them over his shoulders as he presses in deeper, his tongue curling against your velvety walls as his nose bumps into your clit.
“Douma!” you moan, throwing your head back. His fingernails claw at your supple thighs as he moans into your cunt, the vibrations causing your back to arch.
He’s eating like a man starved, his tongue wildly thrusting in and out of your pussy as your walls squeeze down on the slick muscle. You tear at the strands of his hair as he latches onto your clit instead, his eyes flicking over your fucked-out expression. You taste so fucking wonderful, so much better than he was originally anticipating. The sinful noises spilling from your throat has his cock stirring in his pants, the urge to bend you in half and fuck into you growing stronger and stronger.
“Please, please!” you sob, your hips shamelessly bucking against his face. A particularly harsh suck on your clit sends you flying over the edge; you scream out his name as your slick gushes all over the lower half of his face and neck.
Pulling away, Douma’s panting like an animal in heat as he stares at your quivering pussy, how you’re clenching around nothing. Fuck, his cock would fit so nicely in that tight heat. He’ll fill you up with his cum, make your belly swell with it.
He hastily makes work at removing his hakama, his swollen cock kicking back against his clothed stomach. Dropping back over you, his cockhead slips past the ring of muscle; you cry in overstimulation, but Douma pushes forward, his thick cock filling you up so wonderfully. “Suck me in like you sucked in my tongue,” he purrs, his mouth latching onto a patch of your neck. “Cream around my cock, baby. I’m going to fuck you until you can’t walk.”

A Drider’s Mate
Chapter 1: Anniversary Plans
You and Illuso, your drider boyfriend, are getting ready to celebrate your two-year anniversary.
It was Friday, and you couldn’t wait for your weekend to start. Sure, the standard reasons applied, like the fact that you wouldn’t have work and you would have freedoms not otherwise available during the week, but this particular weekend marked your three-year anniversary with Illuso, the handsome drider you had the honor of calling your boyfriend.
The two of you had met at the farmer-artisan market he frequently sold silk at, hawking his wares next to the gorgon’s stall, who sold finely crafted metalwork. You were discussing the iron pendant the gorgon, Risotto, had suggested, his black and red eyes peering at you from behind protective glasses, when the brunet drider interrupted the two of you.
“If you think that piece is so beautiful, bella,” he had said to you suavely, “perhaps you should look at my silks next.” Intrigued, you hastily finished your purchase with Risotto before turning towards the drider, who introduced himself as Illuso. He had been right; his silks truly were lovely creations, both in appearance and texture. As you and Illuso chatted, you had found yourselves drawn to each other; before you left, he had been able to extract a promise of a date from you. One date led to a second, then a third, until you called yourselves a couple and moved in together.
However, dating a demi-human certainly came with its challenges.
While demi-humans had openly lived side by side with full humans for a few generations by this point, it was only fairly recently that interspecies dating had become more widely accepted. In a city like Naples, most people didn’t bat an eye seeing you and Illuso walk down the street hand in hand, but you could still recall the ‘stares and glares’ when you introduced him to your parents in the suburbs.
The challenges of living together, at least, were alleviated somewhat by modern technology. Sleeping together, for instance, used to be a challenging affair. Your mattress didn’t provide the necessary space for Illuso, while his webs and nest were too unsupportive for your human anatomy. You two had to sleep separately until you could afford a nesting mattress, which provided support for humans and accommodations for demi-humans. It felt affirming to be able to cuddle together at night, with the additional bonus of feeling like a nightly sleepover from having to place the nest on the floor. Though, that had been after the difficulty of finding a home that catered to both mixed household needs…
Regardless of the challenges, you and Illuso loved each other and made the relationship work, which was the important thing.
For your anniversary tonight, Illuso had arranged for dinner at an upscale restaurant you had heard good things about. What sold you both was the praise given by Prosciutto, a human friend to both you and your boyfriend; if Prosciutto thought a place was good by his own high standards, it most certainly was worth a visit.
You were sitting in front of your vanity and applying the final touches to your outfit when you heard Illuso arrive home.
“[Y/N], I’m home, cara!” you heard him announce at the entrance.
“In here,” you called, and the tap-tap-tap of his feet sounded through the hallway as he scuttled over to you. In the reflection of the mirror, you saw him pause as he turned the corner, appreciatively eyeing your form in the maroon wraparound dress you had selected for tonight.
“You look ravishing tonight, bella,” he murmured. “Is that all for me?” he asked as he approached you.
“Of course,” you purred, getting up and turning to him. Once he was within reach, you wrapped your arms around his neck, drawing him in for a kiss. He smiled as he pulled you closer, deepening your kiss. As you pulled back to catch your breath from the sudden passion, he smirked down at you.
“I’ll go get ready, and we can head out,” he murmured, nipping playfully at your bottom lip before separating from you. You giggled at his antics and followed him out to wait in the living room.
Forty-five minutes later, the drider stepped down the hall to join you. Illuso had taken more care than usual to ensure the hair covering his thorax and legs was brushed out and as soft as he could make it, almost downy, and his hair was pulled into a braided bun. You noticed he was dressed in a jacket and shirt that matched your own outfit; the deep red of the blazer truly brought attention to his eyes, and you couldn’t bring yourself to look away.
“You look handsome,” you complimented at his approach, accepting the arm he offered out to you.
“Don’t I always?” he quipped. You nudged him playfully.
“Most people will say ‘thank you’ to a compliment, you know,” you chided. He chuckled and gazed down at you tenderly, then paused. You noted a flash of discomfort cross his face before he shook it off.
“You alright, Lulu?” you inquired.
“Yeah, everything’s fine. I think my mating cycle may be finishing up a bit early this season,” he responded.
You glanced at him; his mating cycle was usually as regular as clockwork. When it happened, he’d close himself off, even from you, to deposit his unfertilized eggs in solitude, to have them disposed at the designated bio-waste bin at the demi-human clinic a few streets down from where you lived. Illuso had explained it all to you when you asked about the process, but it was clear that the subject made him self-conscious. From what you could gather, ejecting eggs during a mating cycle was a period of vulnerability.
You wondered what would cause his mating cycle to end earlier than usual, but brushed it off for the time being; the two of you had an anniversary to celebrate.
