Ahhhh second first date! Second first date! Of course i need to know how it goes!!
"And the server was definitely super jealous of me."
Thena laughed again. That was all she'd been doing since they left the house, she was quite sure. Since Gil 'picked her up', that was to say.
It was very sweet. He had showed up at her guest room door, dressed up and with a charming smile, even making an attempt to look nervous. He asked if she was ready, offered his arm; he was the perfect gentleman for their first date.
Her second chance.
Of course she had to know more about their first-first date. And Gil was happy to elucidate her once she insisted enough that telling her that much would not cause her brain to catch fire (as the doctor seemed to have implied in some way).
"But it was a nice dinner, then I walked you back to where you were staying at the end of the beach," he recounted, his eyes completely starry. "I had never gotten to actually have a romantic walk on the beach, before. Total bucket list stuff."
"It sounds lovely," she remarked mildly, without much choice with no memory of it for herself.
"The moon was out and everything, and it looked really pretty with your hair and your white dress, and the shawl thing-y you had on over it." Gil gestured vaguely to simulate the flowing garment she had worn over her bare shoulders. It certainly painted a picture, and she was quite sure she knew what he was referring to, having glimpsed a long white shawl in their closet.
She tried not to laugh too hard, mindful of the gentle atmosphere of the bakery. The tables were really just for people waiting for orders. They didn't have a fancy coffee machine, or an official barista. But Gil did bring out cups of real, boiled hot cocoa from the back--a secret only for their own, of course. They were waiting on their fresh baked pastries to come out and cool.
"I was so distracted by you that I didn't even realise when we were back at your doorstep," he sighed, but his comedic tone faded. He looked at her more softly, leaning his cheek against his hand. "I told you flat out that I was having such a good time I wished you were staying further away."
Thena attempted to laugh into her mug, this time.
"You laughed at it then, too." He sounded more wistful now. "But I told you I was serious and asked if I could see you again. I don't know why you were so surprised."
Probably because she had never been one to be asked out by someone like him. Men, sure, but not very sweet, very funny, very honest gentlemen like Gil. Just...men. She wasn't approachable enough for someone as sweet and charming as Gil.
She still thought that, to a degree.
"But you agreed, and I asked if I could kiss you too," he at least smiled at this part of the story, although his longing for the past remained. "You said I didn't have to ask, which wasn't a yes, but I guessed I was supposed to read between the lines."
Again, the Thena in the story and Thena herself in the present were different people. But she felt her stomach clench faintly at the idea.
"I did kiss you," Gil sighed, returning to his lighter, more jovial tone. "And it totally blew my mind. I mean if I wasn't in love with you already, that would'a done it."
"Gil," she admonished lightly, partly laughing and partly sheepish at the description of this passionate kiss she couldn't remember at all.
"What?" he chuckled before taking a sip of his own hot chocolate. "You wanted to know. And that date changed the rest of my life, sweetheart."
She liked it when he called her that. She nodded, looking down at her mug. "I suppose I did. It's a nice story."
"Yeah," Gil concluded, although his sigh felt a little heavier.
She still didn't have any memories of her own to contribute. But she attempted to jump over that wave of guilt, trying to put a smile back on his handsome face. "What was our second date like?"
He clearly knew what she was trying to do, but he kept quiet about it at least. He pulled himself up in his seat and started his next story. "Well, we were still on vacation. I asked a little more about you, and you at least told me you were an artist, and you were there on leave because you found teaching wasn't really your thing."
Thena winced faintly. She was sure that was an understatement. She did have memories of teaching before moving to their current residence, and none of them made her glad to have them instead of memories of Gil.
"I told you that I had been a boxer in college, and that I was just working some boring office job and also wanted," he paused to shrug and make a face, "a change of scenery."
They were both in the midst of becoming different people when they met. How fascinating, Thena mused. Although she was quite sure Gil had always been sweet and charming and funny. Just a feeling.
"It was actually you, on that date, who asked what I liked to do for fun," he admitted much more quietly. He looked down at the table, picking at a chip in the lacquer. "I told you I liked baking and you said I could try working part time in it, just to see if I liked it enough to make it my job."
"It sounds like something I would suggest," she agreed. It was hard to imagine the man she knew now doing anything else, really. Although it was almost funny to imagine him stuffing those muscles of his into a regular office suit.
"I said I'd give it a try," he chuckled, reaching for her hand. She gave it reflexively, sense memory knowing Gil much better than her own mind. He kissed her knuckle. "And now I have the best job in the world."
She smiled down at their adjoined hands as well, feeling as if the weight of the world were on top of them. "The date, Gil?"
"Right, right," he chuckled, allowing her to move the story away from the more emotional of the topics. "Well, you suggested that, and I asked about your art some more. And since the restaurant looked kind of full, and I didn't think that was your scene, I asked if you wanted to walk along the boardwalk a little first."
"We walked by a bakery there, and you asked me what everything was, since I was 'the expert' and all."
That also sounded like something she would say; Thena attempted not to roll her eyes at herself.
"I pointed out the regular stuff," he shrugged and even looked at the pastry cases in front of them in the moment. "Croissants, cupcakes, they had some tarts. You asked about one in particular."
Thena tilted her head as he paused, but she leaned back as he did, having been so sucked into the story that she didn't even notice Ajak coming over with two small plates.
"Thanks," Gil smiled at the petite woman, obviously familiar with her.
"Thank you," Thena added, keeping her eyes on the woman who only smiled and waved in response. Ajak knew her, Thena was aware, but Gil had been determined that they could meet formally when Thena felt more ready to reintroduce those parts of their life to herself.
"This is called a petit four, just a small cake," he chuckled, turning his own plate so she could admire the little dessert from all sides. "It's pretty old school, but you asked me about it when I pointed it out to you. I bought one so you could sample it, even though you told me not to."
Thena eyed the little dessert. It seemed to be vanilla, small and glazed completely white. There was something on the top of it.
"I add just a little sea salt to mine. Call it a secret ingredient."
It was just a hint of salt, but it sank into the sweetness immediately. Just like on that day five years ago, she had tasted the saltiness of the ocean air around them as she took a bite. She could remember the wind on her skin, and how warm Gil's hand was in contrast. The smell of the little shop and the breeze around them, and Gil's cologne wafting gently over to her.
Thena whipped her head up at him. He blinked at her sudden movement but didn't say anything. He was trying to read the expression on her face.
She didn't have any other memories of it. Just that one moment had jumped out at her as she had tasted that same taste--perhaps an improvement upon it. She could remember Gil's smile as she had told him that she liked it.
"You promised."
"Hm?"
She blinked, trying not to cry over a silly little cake. "You promised you would make me one sometime. I told you I expected it to be better, since you were indeed, 'the expert'."
Gil teared up immediately. Of course he did, the gentle hearted giant. "Y-You-"
She looked down at her cake again, the pressure immediately mounting. "It's just that one moment. I can't remember past that. But-"
Thena startled as he launched from his seat across the tiny cafe table from her. He caught her lips at a funny angle, but they both tasted like chocolate and vanilla and sea salt. Her eyes fluttered.
"Sorry," he chuckled, offering a sheepish grin as he seated himself, ignoring the worried glances of other bakery patrons. "Couldn't help myself."
"Hm," she pursed her lips faintly, and he returned to his cake, unable to keep himself from staring at her. She dabbed at her lips, resisting the urge to fan herself. She still had her coat on, but it felt far too hot now in their little corner by the window. "Whatever happened to asking?"
"You told me I didn't have to ask."

Hi I really like your writing! I was wondering if you could do druig x make reader. Maybe reader is very sunshine kinda person and when the eternals meet druig new boyfriend they are just shocked
Hey! Thank you for liking it! And have a good Christmas Anon!
DRUIG X MALE READER
"just don't mess this all up for me."
Druig says to his team while they all sit together at Phastos house to all spend time with each other for the holidays.
The Eternals all begged to meet Druig's significant other he was so smitten for. Even Ikrais showed a bit of interest in who this person is. So to get them off of Druig's back he invited them over to have dinner.
"You worry too much Druig!" Kingo says with a laugh. "Don't worry Druig we'll try to be on our best behavior." Gilgamesh adds trying to ease his friends worries.
The sound of the door bell rings makes the house all quiet. Druig gives his team one more spare glance before walking to the door.
Once he opens it he smiles brightly. "You came." Even though Druig's voice didn't sound he wasn't excited he was beyond ecstatic. His boyfriend wraps his arms around Druig as he does the same just standing in the middle of the doorway hugging and enjoying the others presence.
"Of course I came! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" His boyfriend was smiling ear to ear making Druig weak in the knees. Druig pulls Y/n inside taking his coat or jacket and hangs them up.
"Come on." Druig takes his boyfriend by the hand leading him in the dining room. The Eternals conversations got quiet and their attention all focused on Druig.
"Everyone..." Druig moves out of his boyfriend way while all the Eternals stare and study the boyfriend who has the brightest and gentle smile ever. "Meet my boyfriend. Y/n L/n the greatest man on earth." All of the Eternals stand up from their seats introducing themselves to Y/n and having small talk.
Everyone click with Y/n gentle and energetic personality. Kingo and Y/n ranted back and forth about movies, Phastos and him had a mutual agreement about liking building and kids being the best boyfriends ever, Makkair even taught him him some sign language.
Gilgamesh and him talked about cooking for a while, Y/n was complimenting Thena's beauty making her very blushy and smile hard, Him and Sprite were making playful remarks to each other.
Hell he even managed to make Ikaris break character and share some cool and funny stories with each other.
All of the Eternals were hooked for Y/n and his great personality loved him even more than. Kingo was first to think "How the hell did Dark Vader manage to pull a man like Y/n." Kingo eyes Druig up and down making sure he isn't using his powers to control Y/n.
After
Y/n spends hours talking and playing with his boyfriend. He decides it's time for he can go. "Bye everyone! It was a pleasure meeting you all and I hoped you liked me!" Y/n bows his head down a little before giving everyone a hug bye.
Lots of the Eternals try to convince and beg Y/n to stay but Y/n kindly declines the offers with a huge smile on his face. "Bye everyone have a Merry Christmas!" Druig pulls his boyfriend out and walks him to his car.
"What do you think of them?" Druig asks wrapping his arms around Y/n waist. "I think they're lovely. They are all one big happy family. I think they're good for you my love~" Y/n answers with fully honestly kissing Druig passionately before pulling away and opening his car taking out gifts.
"Can you give them these. I based off the gifts from your stories about them! And I got plenty for you at my house!" Y/n hands him the boxes of gifts. "You know you didn't have to." Druig says feeling himself smile.
"I know I know. It's just that I wanted to make a double good impression."
The two share one more kiss before departing in their own separate ways. But Druig stops in his tracks. And he turns around putting the gifts on the porch before jogging back to Y/n's car.
Y/n pokes his head out the window. "Yes?"
"I love ya sun." Druig says smiling to his boyfriend.
"I love you too moon~" Y/n says back.
THE END

Okay I know its after Christmas but I have to ask for this for science… Number 9 but it’s Thena pegging Gil. I would DIE FOR THIS thank u very much lmaoo
Alright, okay! Finally! Here we go! VERY NSFW, please process it carefully. Just a warning, this is the first time I write something like this and it looked better and sexier in my head but here goes nothing.
9. “You take me so well.”
[Cafe AU]
It starts with a late-night discussion. Gil has closed his shop for the day and they sit down for a nightcap on his sofa. Somehow, the subject falls into sexual fantasies. Thena, a bit tipsy and feeling rather wild, snuggles into his chest and says - half joking and half serious - that she thought about them doing it in the movie theater.
“We were there just last week,” he muses.
“We were,” she agrees, booping his nose.
“Did you think about it then?”
“Of course,” she says, matter-of-factly.
“How?” Now he’s curious.
She taps her forefinger to her lips, “We’d make out, then you’d slip a hand under my dress, telling me to keep looking at the screen. And you– Gil!”
“Hmm?” He looks up from kissing along her neck.
“You’re not listening,” she chides, pinching his love handle. That’s just her excuse to slip her hand under his sweater to feel his skin, but he doesn’t need to know that.
“I am listening,” he has the nerve to pout, “I tell you to keep looking at the screen, and?”
“Uh-uh, I’m done for now,” she shakes her head, “It’s your turn.”
If she’s honest with herself, she’s been curious about this for a while. What does a sweet, wholesome man like Gil have for his sexual fantasies? She’s excited, if not a little nervous, to find out.
Gil swallows and gnaws at his lower lip. She can tell that he’s shy by the red of his ears and the way he constantly rubs at his nose, but he also doesn’t want to lie or brush her off. Thena smiles, taking his hand to stop his fidgeting.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it,” she gives him an assuring smile. She’s never known to be patient, but she’s learning it from him.
“No, I-I want to,” he admits.
“You can trust me,” she says, reaching up to kiss his cheek, “And you know, maybe I would be down for it.”
“Y-Yeah?” Even his neck is growing a deep shade of red.
She waits.
“Well, this just occurred to me recently, but I think I want to try…anal sex.”
Thena has to strain her ears to hear him. The room suddenly feels hot and she squirms in his arms. She has never tried it with anyone, but she certainly could entertain that fantasy for Gil. The few times that he touched her there, it felt amazing.
“Gil, many people want to try that,” she begins, “You don’t have to feel insecure…”
“No, but…” He cuts in before she gets to finish, “You’re the one who…do it to me.”
Oh.
“You want to be pegged?” She asks.
He buries his face into her neck and nods. She can almost see the steam coming off the top of his head. So adorable. She has heard about it, and from what she knows, it gives great pleasure. And if there’s anyone who deserves it, it’s her Gilgamesh. Just that thought makes her want to groan.
She hugs him back, dropping kisses to his hair, “Okay.”
“What?” He lifts his head up from her shoulder, his eyes look like two flying saucers.
“We can perform your fantasy.”
“N-Now?” He stammered. Thena has to bite her lips to stop herself from chuckling at the hint of somewhat excitement in his voice.
“No, baby,” she says, moving to straddle his lap, “When I peg you, you’ll be stone-cold sober.”
His moan is cut short by her tongue sticking down his throat.
The next couple of days, she starts researching it, looking up step by step on how to peg a man as good as possible. And like the serious researcher she is, she does it thoroughly as if it was a case file. After telling him about douching and lubrication, she pulls him to sit down with her and look through the strap-on choices. He said he wanted that specifically and not a dildo when she pressed him. Kingo and Phastos choose the wrong moment to step into Gil’s apartment without knocking. Kingo stares at the way his boss slams her laptop shut while the Eternal’s chef pushes the papers they’ve been reading off the coffee table, he doesn’t have to see what it is about to guess the concept of what they were discussing.
“Not a word,” he says on the way out. Phastos is already left, “We didn’t see anything. We do not need to know what is going on. We’ll be back later and we’ll all agree that this didn’t happen.”
The door clicks shut before Thena and Gil sigh.
“We’ll continue at my place,” she says as they gather their documents.
And it’s her bedroom where they are going to try out Gil’s fantasy for the first time. She takes his hand and leads him inside. They’re eager to take off each other’s clothes, but when she tries to push him down on her bed, he maneuvers them and instead she finds herself sitting on the mattress with her legs thrown over his shoulder, him kneeling at the foot of the bed.
“Gil, tonight is about you,” she protests half-heartedly, already panting as he nibbles up her inner thigh.
“Oh, you have no idea how much pleasure I get from doing this,” he grins before pressing his tongue against her pussy and making her see stars. She gasps for air, throwing her head back as she comes into his mouth, one of her hands claws at his back and the other grips the sheet so tightly her nails nearly rip through it.
He puts his chin on her lap, looking at her with a satisfied expression even when she hasn’t even touched him. His mouth is still slick with her arousal. Thena reaches out and cups his cheek.
“Get on the bed and wait here,” she demands.
“Yes, my lady.”
He doesn’t bother to hide his lustful moan when she reappears at the bathroom door, wearing her new strap. He pulls her closer, peppering kisses to her belly as she runs her hands through his hair.
“Lie back,” she says.
Gil moves upward and lies on the pillows, basking in the scent of her shampoo. She smears the lube on her hand, then gets in between his legs. She swoops down to kiss him deeply, coaxing him to relax. His muscles ripple under her fingers and he jolts slightly when he feels the cool fluid she rubs on his rectum. She uses her other hand to pinch his nipples and he moans, pressing his head deeper into the pillows.
“So beautiful.”
“Thena, please.”
She slips one finger inside, slowly and evenly moving in and out.
“I need you to tell me if I’m hurting you.”
“No, it feels good,” he croaks, then after a pause, “More.”
Her second and then third fingers go in, loosening him up easily with a lot of lubrication and soon enough she’s pumping him with a steady speed. Gil is pressing the back of his hand against his mouth, trying desperately and unsuccessfully to stifle his obscene sounds. His rock-hard cock points upward deliciously, his pleasure lies solely in her hands. She’s never felt so powerful.
She withdraws her hand and he looks like he’s about to cry from the sudden emptiness. The reaction almost makes her lose her mind, she chases away the urge of entering him all at once and just presses the head of the cock at his asshole.
“Ready?”
He looks up at her predator smile and just spreads his legs wider. Thena tosses her hair out of her face and leans forward, grabbing at his hips. She watches in rapture as the cock disappears into him. Just as it reaches his prostate, he comes with a shout, shooting all over his belly. She keeps still, waiting for him to catch his breath. She can feel her arousal leaking out of the strap as he reaches for her blindly, and they both moan the moment he realizes the cock is still inside him.
“You take me so well,” she grins as she kisses him indulgently, letting his hands roam over her.
“You feel so good,” he manages, finding it harder and harder to form coherent words. He’s getting hard again and he knows she can feel it too, because she begins to thrust, growling back at every sound he makes.
He starts meeting her thrust by thrust, the length of the dildo messaging his prostate over and over. His chest is flushed red, it’s his turn to gasp for air. Tears are falling freely from the corner of his eyes, not because he’s in pain but because it’s just too overwhelming. He isn’t aware of what he’s saying anymore, the only thing in his mind is Thena’s cock slamming into him.
“I like you saying my name,” she drapes over him, sneaking her hand down to wrap around his cock and stroking it firmly.
“Thena, Thena,...” he whimpers, “I’m coming, I’m—”
“Come for me.”
And he falls again, writhing and thrashing in what must be the biggest orgasm he’s ever had in his life. His vision blurs and some conscious part of his mind just understands why they call this “the little death”. His entire body feels like liquid and he sinks deeper into the mattress. It’s her touch that brings him back, petting his hair gently and purring. She’s lying on top of him, her strap has been taken off. She rubs her nose against his when he opens his eyes, and her smile is radiant.
“Hi.”
“Hi,” he rasps, his throat is dry from all the screaming. He hopes they won’t get noise complaints from her neighbours.
“You okay?”
“Never better.”
“So,” she traces the laugh lines on his face, “How did your fantasy play out?”
“Well, because it was you, it’s even better than I imagined,” he lifts his head to kiss her, “But I wished I could make you come at least once more, you really blew my mind.”
Thena giggles, settling for a more comfortable position in his arms, “Later, Gil. I’m satisfied now.”
“Later then,” he promises.
“And look, darling, you made a mess on my bed,” she teases before throwing her blanket over them.
“No, you and your cock did that.”

I really really enjoyed your prompt with “Can I have this dance?“. It was so beautiful and you captured them perfectly. I have a request if you are still taking?^^
I can imagine how Gil takes care of Thena after every fight against the Deviants. How about this time after a exhausting fight Thena takes care of Gil? Soft comfort moments between them. :)
Take your time. I’m looking forward what magical little story you will write. And a big thank you! ❤️
Thank you so so much for your request! <3 When I first read it I imagined them relaxing in the bath with Thena heating the water for him and all that. BUT, @softquietsteadylove 🦜wrote a oneshot like that and it was so so beautiful. If you haven't yet go and read it.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly love writing them, I have this idea that Thena is very laid back and normal with Gil, but he has a big influence on her that she goes along with him. It is so natural for them to be careless and free. Like, while everybody is a little terrified of Thena, Gil is just so full of lover for her just like she is for him. I think he is the only one to know another side of her person, and that's love. T-T
_ ✽ _ 
A loud thud is heard as soon as the training is over. On the ground lays a very exhausted Gilgamesh, a little dramatic if you ask Ikaris, but Thena goes along with him and tumbles on top of him on his back. Both covered in sweat and a messy pile of limbs. Gilgamesh never complained allowing her to lay there with him under the bright burning sun. It is Sersi who approaches them with beverages to help them cool down.
“Such a nice girl.” Says Thena as she takes the cup into her hands.
Gil mumbles from underneath unable to speak coherently. Thena brings the cup of water to his lips, but he just directs it to hers first. She takes a sip before taking it back to Gilgamesh who drinks the rest of it in a matter of seconds.
“You are dead, old man.” Thena chuckles.
“We are the same age.”
“Ah, he lives.” She smiles down at him before getting up. “Come on, Gil.” She tugs at his arms trying to get him to get up.
Gil simply rolls not putting any effort into getting up as Thena manages to drag him underneath the shade of a tree. She kneels down with a marvelous smile; mischief and wonderment in her eyes. She pours another cup of water on his head, making him throw his head back in relief as he begins to relax his muscles.
“Tell me where it hurts.” She says as she finds a place behind him kneeling before she starts to knead his knots away.
“Everywhere.” He mumbles.
Thena raises her eyebrows in disbelief. “I’m not going to kiss it better everywhere.”
“Oh, come on, Thena..” He complains “I do it for you.”
“Fine. But first let me get rid of the knots on your shoulder.”
Thena works on his back for a few minutes before planting a kiss on each shoulder, then on top his head.
“I hope this makes it bett-“
“You need help. You need psychological help.” Kingo interrupts attempting to get closer, but Thena soon shoos him away by throwing one of the empty cups at him. “I hope you get the help you desperately need!” He says as he escapes.
Finally, Gilgamesh gets up looking slightly amused at the interaction. He offers a hand to Thena and she accepts, but instead of following him she tugs in the opposite direction. Blindly and gladly he follows her; a smile never leaving his face. These were the good times, but before he could process it he is pushed into river water. He splashes everywhere as he falls deep in there, not even loosing his cool once. He throws a hearty laugh before starting to dispose of the extra clothing, Thena does the same before joining him in the water.
“I’ll give you a scalp massage, if you promise to return it later.” She sits by the shallow side of the river and he hurries towards her.
“Yes, please do!” He turns his back to her and positions himself in front of her.
Soon she starts to massage his head with soft fingers threading around and playing with his hair. She is so lost in thought and very concentrated that she misses the moment Gil falls asleep. His snoring so loud she almost thought they were being prayed upon. She lets out a sight as her arms come to embrace him from her place, and she rests her chin on his shoulder hoping nobody comes looking for them since her Gil is the only one to see her in their true nature; free, caring and loving.

etc: i may have let this get away from me a little bit but who can blame me?!??? when it comes to this man my only mood is feral.
send me a prompt !
You’ve felt him tossing and turn for over an hour now. Felt his distress with each turn and soft huff vibrate the bed. Your back is to him, but you’re sure his features are as cool as ever as his body is the opposite; restless. You’ve been on the cusp of sleep ever since sinking into bed, Thena having made all of you work overtime on an action plan all day. And as much as you loved the woman, her work ethic was draining.
Just when you’re about to turn and ask him if everything is alright you feel his arm wrap around you, pulling you closer to his chest. His nose nuzzles into the crook of your neck, his hot breath fanning across your skin. There’s a beat, a silent few minutes of calm where you think he’s finally settled down for the night and your mind slowly drifts to sleep. Only to be brought back when you feel the soft pressure of his lips on the back of your neck, leaving a trail along the exposed flesh he can reach within the crook of it. His hand at your waist rubbing small circles above the waistband of your shorts.
“Druig,” your voice is sleepy and questioning.
“Hmm?” His tone is laced with innocence and softness as he removes his lips from the your skin to rest his head back in the crook of your neck.
“What’re you doing?”
You feel the sigh he lets out rasp through his chest and against your back, his nose nuzzling in the hair at the back of your neck. His voice soft and whiney as he speaks against your skin, “I can’t sleep if I’m not inside you.” As the words come out of his mouth you feel his hips press to your back side, his hardness rubbing against your ass.
Your body reacting as if on command, a small whimper swallowed down your shaky throat. “We have an early morning.” Something that wasn’t an excuse more than it was a fact. And if your body wasn’t filled with the exhaustion of the day you know the minute the two of you got into bed Druig would of been buried inside of you, fucking you nice and slow into the mattress.
“We don’t have to, I just want to be inside of you.” You can hear his voice inside of your head, the telepath reading your thoughts. His hips rut slowly against your ass, you can feel his lashes flutter against your skin. His mouth falling open letting out a breathy, “please.”
And if your body was sleep ridden before it’s awake now. Your fist clenching the sheets beside you, the drag of his clothed cock against you making your core ache, lighting a new fire in your body that has it awake and responsive. “Druig,” you try to swallow down the whimper that threatens at the back of your throat. “We need rest, my love.”
You trusted him enough to know that he wasn’t bluffing when he said the two of you didn’t need to have sex, he didn’t need to finish, to even start. He just needed to be inside of you, feel the warmth of your walls wrapped around him.
But you knew yourself, knew that the minute you felt him stretching you, felt the slow drag of his cock as he filled you to the hilt, until you were so full of him. The two of you connected and whole, you knew you would want more. Need more. That’s how it always went if the two of you didn’t fuck before bed.
“Know you want it to,” he presses his lips to the back of your neck again, let’s breathy whimpers out hotly against your skin as he continues to rub against you.
Your mind is slowly falling in line with your body, letting itself be taken over by Druig, his soft noises going straight to your soaking core. The press of his lips making it harder to breath. But you still find yourself standing a little bit of ground as you shake your head. If the two of you overslept you would never hear the end of it.
“No?” Druig’s boyish smirk spreads against your skin after one last press of his lips. You can feel his fingers begin to move again against the skin above your shorts, before they disappear completely inside of them. His palm cupping your mound, his finger running through your wet folds at the same time he rubs deliciously slow against your ass, and you let a moan slip from your lips. “You’re such a bad liar.”
His other hand comes up to your jaw, gripping it slightly to turn your head as much as it can so your eyes meet. The warmth of his palm making you keen into everywhere he’s touching you, “Please, love. We both need it.” Druig presses his lips to yours in a deep kiss that burns through you. Completely takes over your body, and any reason as to why you two need to sleep dies somewhere in the back of your head.
As soon as you moan “okay” against his lips it takes him little time to remove the confines of both of your bottom half’s, and then the head of his cock is at your entrance and it’s just a little harder for the both of you to breathe. Your foreheads touching, moans mixing as Druig pushes inside of you so so slow. The drag of his cock stretching you in the best way, your stomach fluttering once he’s seethed fully inside of you.
And when he pulls back to press another kiss to your lips the two of you share a look, knowing, understanding that just this won’t be enough. It’s never enough, the two of you always needing more of each other; in every way. As if the two of you were destined to never be okay without some type of contact, touch, knowing from the other. Druig always needed to feel your body pressed and rocking against his, your beautiful moans in his neck, against his lips, the way you grip his cock as you cum. Amongst so much more, because that’s what kind of love the two of you shared together; more. More understanding, more strength together.
He thinks he’ll need you forever. And he’s more than okay with that if it means he gets to have you like this, touch you like this, watch you like this; pressed to his back trying to muffle your moans as he fucks you slow.

Tumblr media
Pairing: Druig x Eternal!Reader
Warnings: none that I can think of besides tooth rotting fluff
Word Count: 631
The celebration of Ikaris and Sersi was in full swing–people dancing around the plaza, eating extravagant meals, and sharing laughs with one another. It really was a beautiful sight.
If only Ikaris wasn’t such a bastard.
Druig couldn’t blame Sersi for that, however. No matter what, she always saw the good in people–even where others thought there was none. Sersi was inherently good and that was one of the things Druig had always admired about her.
Tucked away, perched upon a stone railing overlooking the festivities, Druig took another bite into his apple. This kind of thing wasn’t really his scene. Of course, he enjoyed watching the happiness of his friends and of the villagers who so graciously put this together–but he wasn’t much for dancing or large crowds. Here on his perch, he had the perfect view of everything that was going on and was able to help keep the peace if the situation arose.
As he chewed, he pondered on the fact that he hadn’t seen you in what seemed like sometime. Last he recalled you were surrounded by a small group of the local children, taking turns dancing with them and helping them make flower crowns–a sight that warmed even his stone heart. Gazing through the crowd; he found Phastos and Kingo enjoying a large meal, Gilgamesh and Thena clinking together their pints of ale, and of course Ikaris and Sersi together in an embrace in the middle of it all.
Carefully scanning over each and every body, his eyes finally landed on you–only to find you were looking at him too. Druig was not a man who fell speechless very often, but each time he had looked at you tonight he had found himself unable to form any sort of coherent thought. The traditional dress complimented your skin and the smile you wore was sure to have enough warmth to power the village through the winter. Unable to help himself, a coy grin spread across his own lips as you walked toward him–never once breaking eye contact between the two of you.
“Why are you hiding, my love?” Your voice floated into his ears like a beautiful melody. “We’re supposed to be celebrating…remember?”
Druig hopped off from his spot on the railing and took a few steps toward you, taking a large bite out of his apple while he looked you over. A playful laugh erupted from your chest as you rolled your eyes at him. The sound was enough to bring kingdoms to their knees.
“You know I don’t dance.” Druig stated matter-of-factly as he spoke around the apple in his mouth.
“Mmm, well.” You took a step forward, closing the gap between the two of you as you looked up at him with innocent eyes.
“Then what do you say we just sway?”
Before he knew it, Druig was following behind you as you held his hand and guided him toward the middle of the plaza. Although he was the one with the ability to control the mind of any living thing, it seemed as though you were the one with the ability to control his.
Turning to face him with a bright smile and a small giggle, Druig shook his head slightly as he pulled you close into his chest. As you tucked your head into his shoulder, he leaned down to press a kiss to your temple. The music surrounded the two of you as you swayed back and forth–the entirety of the crowd slowly slipping away as though it was just you two who were present. The flowery, clean scent of you filling every corner of his mind as he closed his eyes and held you close.
Druig didn’t dance–but holding you close to him for the next few thousand years didn’t sound half bad.

# pranking the eternals (it doesn't end well) 🍨
Tumblr media
━ pairings: eternals x reader
━ genre(s): fluff, random blurbs
━ warnings: none! prolly some muses being out of character? but yeah
━ words: 0.7
━ notes: in celebration of April Fool's, I wrote this silly little thing at 2 am when I should definitely be in bed <3 As always, like, reblogs, and comments are highly appreciated ! and yes, requests are OPEN
Tumblr media Tumblr media
THENA
Trying to trick the goddess of war is like poking a hornet’s nest with a stick and hoping for the best - it won’t end well !
And mainly because you don’t know if it's something you should be doing when the poor woman is already suffering from Mahd Wr’ry
But you wanted to include her, to at least take her mind off her worries. Maybe as long as it is harmless (and wholesome) then it’s okay, right?
“Thena! I can talk to animals!” You tell her one day, holding a small bird in your hand. “I just heard this bird talk to me, I promise”
Thena turns to face you, confused but also intrigued. “Really? What did the little one say?”
“Well, it said that–” as if on cue, the bird chirped. “That you are the most lovely, wonderful, and awe-inspiring person in the universe.” You leaned closer to her, “And that… you are fiercely loyal and protective to your loved ones,”
Thena couldn’t help but smile at your antics. She thinks it's really endearing. “How awfully observant of the little one, no? I believe that we should keep them around,” she leans forward and places a peck at the corner of your lips. “Thank you, dearest. I think that’s rather lovely of you.”
She never lets you live it down (but you don't mind <3)
Tumblr media
DRUIG
Local Menace™
He says he doesn’t want to participate but the mischievous look in his eyes says otherwise
You trust him very much with your life, you really do but the way he has been touchy the entire day? constantly being around in your presence? The other Eternals trying to keep themselves from laughing whenever they see you? Certainly not suspicious actions
You tried to approach Sersi once to ask something before Druig appeared at your side, almost scaring the wits out of you
You confront him on what he’s doing and this man basically goes: “I’m not doing anything. Maybe you’re imagining things, love” before tugging you someplace private
Okay, maybe his idea of ‘pranks’ is spreading an obscene amount of time with you - and maybe, just maybe, you don’t mind it at all.
Tumblr media
SPRITE
A full-on prank war, no one is spared. It’s either you two are fighting against each other or trying to cause minor inconveniences towards EVERYONE
god forbid anyone who gets caught in the line of fire - Kingo tried to intervene once and he ended up with his hair green for an entire month;
The pranks include: moving other people’s stuff someplace else, putting hair dye (temporary ones) in shampoos, putting obscene amounts of salt in whatever Gilgamesh is cooking - the normal stuff
Whoever manages to trick each other most wins. The prize? Doing whatever the other says, of course!
It’s childish and ridiculous but Sprite has a lot of fun doing it with you, just don’t take it personally if she wins :D
Tumblr media
MAKKARI
Your resident partner in crime, is literally the best person to team up with
Oh, you need help with distracting Druig while you steal a pair of his socks? She's on it !
Now you need help with running and hiding from an obviously annoyed Druig who is demanding for his socks? Makkari is on call !
Creates a secret sign-language system that only the two of you can understand so that when you’re shit-talking about someone else, they won’t know that you’re talking about them!
No one has picked up on it as of yet, which is a benefit for the two of you !
The reason why you teamed up with her was that pranking Makarri is near impossible - you can't even breathe in her direction without her knowing! So, why beat them when you can join them?
Tumblr media
KINGO
He’s just so confused. Kingo loves you the way that you are, but sometimes he just questions how much he loves you
Walked into the kitchen one day and almost cried when he saw that you were boiling your cereal
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”
“Oh, good morning, Kingo! Just boiling my cereal, didn’t like the milk being too cold”
“(Y/N) I love you but if you keep doing this I’m just going to break up with you–”
He gets his revenge by taking horrendous photographs of you when you’re asleep, hair askew in different directions, drool and all - and uses it as his wallpaper.
No, you may not change it - it’s his payback after you basically terrorized your cereal earlier D:

I watched eternals and ok I have THOUGHTS so I’m putting it here and I’m in a cab frantically typing this so it’s basically unfiltered thoughts kay thanks
- it’s different. It got a very obvious mainstream look. It is still a high budget, heavy CGI or like “comic book hero’s” movie but the more I think about it, the less I find a movie from the last few movies in the MCU to compare it to. So, it’s still very super hero movie, just not like the MCU.
- it’s felt a bit like watching Captain America Civil War. We know all of them, and we know they’ve interacted with each other.
- Something felt incomplete, I think it’s the limited amount we know about each of the eternals on their own? But it’s not really a problem
- seeing Kit Harrington and Richard Madden interact, with a sersi involved? The GoT/SOIAF fan in my has died. KINGS OF THE NORTH BABY!!!
SPOILERS-ish AHEAD
- Ikaris’s storyline was somewhat unpredictable, but also if the fate of his character is sealed, I just need to see what they do.
He’s also hilarious and Richard Madden has wonderful comedic timing
Also, seeing a super hero cry. Shed tears. Kill him self because he loves Sersi too much to kill her, but I’m not killing her is going against everything he believes in? I love Ikaris he is my favourite idiot boy.
- as a desi, everything about Kingo just… worked. PROPER HINDI BEING SPOKEN HAS SAVED ME AND I DONT EVEN LIKE HINDI!!!??? & THE dance sequence, the BHARATNATAYAM?? 12 year old me would learn that choreography in 5 min flat. 22 year old me will need an hour but I know I can do it.
HE SAID DISHOOM. DISHOOM.
- Sprite is such a fucking mood. Her relationship with Dane??? With Kingo?? Kingo and Dane need to meet now too, properly.
The illusions
Also when Kingo said he worked in the movies because he missed Sprite’s story telling
- Thena, my moon and stars and my favourite goddess of war. I want to hug u and hold ur hand and kiss ur knuckles baby you are loved. She can do no wrong and will do no wrong
- GILGAMESH DESERVES BETTER. I’ve concluded that Gilgamesh is a fun house husband who would make the best dad jokes. Also thena and Gil are my only OTP from the eternals. When he dies, the fkn crying.
- When Thena killed the Deviant, everyone in the room felt so much fkn relief. She’s so cool
- I really love Gilgamesh and thena so much. On their own and together
- Salma Hayek did such a WONDERFUL job, the mothering and the nurturing. GOD
- PHASTOS!!! Hilarious & romantic and a good father!! Dude just seeing him KISS A MAN on the big screen?? A MAN OF COLOUR!! GAY MEN KISS IS A MARVEL FILM GODDAMN IT. and the way he talks about his HUSBAND BEN? Wonderful. This is essentially the exchange between him and other eternals
“I thought u lost all hope in humanity”
“They remind me that there’s good left”
- Druig is a himbo I think. I like him. If I could control the minds of people, I too would contemplate taking over humanity to get rid of greed and violence etc etc
- Makkari and Druig are cute. I want more Makkari content because She is so fun. She is every quirky incorrect Marvel quote but in actuality. Also something about her signing her words brings in so much personality to her whole character
- HARRY STYLES IS EROS CONFIRMED
- MY BABY MANS DANE WHITMORE IS BACK
Overall? Imma need to watch it again to decide how much I love it but it’s a 3/5.

What came to my mind recently is a AU in wich Thena is a very talented and famous dressage rider. For Gil I thought he would be the one who is responsible for looking after all the horses at the most luxurious horse riding club. And Thena is a member at this club.👀
"Whoa, girl," Thena crooned, pulling back on the reins gently as Olympia slowed to a canter and then to a walk. Thena lowered to the saddle before dismounting and pulling off her helmet, patting her mare's sheer white side of gossamer fur. "That groomer really knows what he's doing."
"It's apple juice."
Thena whirled around, glaring at the sudden source of sound intruding on her space. He wasn't as close as she had feared, although most at the club still knew to give her an even wider berth than the horses.
She hadn't actually met the caretaker in person yet, mostly having heard how much the horses all seemed to adore him. She had doubted it to a certain extent, especially in the case of her Olympia. The sparkling white mare was just as antisocial as her rider.
Or so she thought.
Thena stared as Olympia happily nudged the caretaker's hand with her nose, inviting him to pet her with a swishing of her tail behind her. Her ears even flicked with joy as he showered her with compliments on her coat and her form and anything else he could think of.
And the stubborn and aggressive Olympia ate it right up.
"Thena, right?" he looked at her with a smile, still rubbing Olympia's nose as he took her reins in hand for himself. "I'm Gilgamesh, the new carer for the horses."
"Yes," she murmured, eyeing the man cautiously. He seemed nice enough, but didn't most people, at first? He was tall in stature and even wider than that. Perhaps it came from having to haul the hay. "I have heard about your exemplary work with them."
"Aw, that's sweet," he grinned at her, uncaring if she was making it up or paying him a false compliment or not. "I don't know about that. Some of us are still getting to know each other."
Thena was still taking in the way Olympia was nearly giddy from the presence of the caretaker. She had never seen her horse like this before. "Will you stop it?"
Olympia whinnied at her, though.
Thena bristled, "are you laughing at me?"
Gilgamesh tickled between Olympia's nostrils. "She's just excited because I promised her some sugar after your ride today."
Thena crossed her arms at the caretaker, walking beside him - although Olympia had proudly stuck her head between them - as he guided them both back to the stables. "And how often do you let her have this?"
"Just once a week," he promised her, unminding of her sharp line of questioning. "I know Olympia doesn't do well with a lot of sugar. But she really loves it. That's where the apple juice comes in."
"Don't tell me-"
"It's not from concentrate," he assured her preemptively this time, which only made her even more annoyed with him. "I press the apples myself and then I add it to her mix. It all tastes a lot sweeter for it, so then I can add more vitamins to it without having to argue with her to eat it."
"Well, that's..." rather brilliant, actually. Thena had long suffered Olympia's stubbornness about eating a well balanced diet. "I suppose that was a good idea."
Gilgamesh let Olympia nudge his face with her nose in affection, even giving his ear some attention. He just patted her cheek, letting her express herself freely. "She's a beautiful mare, and she's stronger than any of the others. She needs the right nutrition to keep that up. But she's also just like any young horse who wants to let loose and have fun sometimes."
Thena observed Olympia critically. It was true, she was relatively young for a mare in competitive dressage. And she had been in a rather good mood the last few weeks, the reason for which had eluded Thena. It seemed she had found it at last.
"Thank you."
"Hm?" he looked past Olympia's nose at her.
"For caring for her so," Thena ran a hand down her mare's neck, "diligently. It assures me that she's in good hands when I'm not here."
Gilgamesh ducked around Olympia's head to walk on the same side as Thena, still holding the horse's bridle gently. "You take really good care of her, and I know you want to know I'm doing the same here."
"Of course I do." It baffled her that some of the other riders in the club didn't care for their horses so much as see them as vehicles. She had heard some of them refer to the horses' rest days as 'tune ups', as if they were racing cars.
"I've met a few horses like her," Gilgamesh offered lightly in conversation. "It takes a strong rider to tame one this strong willed. I can see why you two get along."
"Because I am also stubborn and difficult?" Thena raised a brow at him.
"I was just gonna say because you both hate Ikaris."
Thena turned her head back to the track as a tiny laugh escaped her.
As if sensing her desire to keep her laughter concealed, Olympia nickered loudly instead.
"That's right, don't you?" Gil cooed to the horse, who stomped her front hooves in glee.
"Olympia," Thena sighed, although she had already gotten the impression that scolding her horse would do no good when the amiable caretaker was around.
Finally at the stables, Gil undid Olympia's bridle and slipped it off her head. He scratched her face for her, which made her shake herself off in appreciation. "It's friday, girl; let's get you that pedicure."
Thena smiled to herself. She could see more and more reason the horses enjoyed his company so much. "Thank you, Gilgamesh."
"It's nothing," he shrugged off her genuine praise of him.
She crossed her arms, "it is not nothing. I am trying t--Olympia!"
The horse whinnied again, nudging Thena continuously in the back with her massive snout.
"Olympia, that's enou-" Thena didn't get the chance to finish, nudged directly into the chest of the caretaker.
"Whoa," he let out a puff of air, one of his hands coming up to her arm. "Are you okay?"
Thena growled, pushing off of his - stupidly firm - chest and whirling around on her horse. "You and I are going to have a chat, young lady."
Olympia turned away from her like a sullen teen, flicking her tail.
"Look at me when I'm speaking to you!"
Gilgamesh just chuckled to himself, beginning the process of putting away Olympia's equipment so he could scrape her hooves. He let Thena have her discussion with her suddenly disobedient companion. He wouldn't want to interrupt and undermine Thena's discipline. Plus it was cute to see her arguing with a horse.

Tumblr media
Amazon - Present day
"This is... a forest ? Druig the forest man. Little remix of Tarzan and seeing as we have Jane with us it shouldn't take too long to find him. Right Y/N ?" Sprite makes the whole group laugh, as always. Thena can't help but smile and I have to admit that I might have laughed. A little. Only a little. Stunned by the landscape before us, I don't really pay attention to where I'm stepping. "Y/N watch out you're going to-" "Fuck !" I crunch my nose under the pain that is taking over my entire right leg, the brambles are still clinging to me and I have to admit I'm holding back tears as best I can, it hurts like hell. "Remind me why I came here !"
Gilgamesh helps me out of the quagmire, my leg well scraped and I drop into his arms. "What's the idea of putting on a dress to come here Y/N ?" "I don't know but... I... I think I'm going to die... goodbye." I played my part to perfection all the way through, my eyes closed, my hand placed on my forehead dramatically. I make my friends laugh in turn, which relaxes the charged atmosphere a little more. Gilgamesh straightens me up and we try to get back on our way, being careful not to hurt me a second time. "Why put on a dress for him ? It's not like he left you behind without a word." Ikaris's words come out dry and sharp so I decide to answer him in the same way "I think you're cheeky for someone who left without giving any news." a heavy silence falls on us, nobody dares to answer anything.
"I think you're beautiful Y/N." I lay my eyes on Gilgamesh's smiling face, who definitely understood that Ikaris' remark had just hurt my feelings. "I agree." Thena and Gilgamesh look at each other with a small knowing smile. I always wonder what I would have done without them. I wouldn't know how to thank them for all they have done for me. They are my family more than my friends.
Soon we arrive in the heart of a small village, quite calm and harmonious. More or less intrigued looks are on us, as if they had not seen a stranger for a long time. While Sprite tries to get some information to find Druig, I look at a little girl, sitting, calm, watching us with curiosity. If there's one thing that can calm me down, it's children. I wave to her, say hello and smile. "You came quickly. I really didn't expect to see you here now." that voice.
My body tenses, I don't move, not wanting to be noticed. If I could go unnoticed by the way that would be great ! I hide as I can behind Kingo, in passing my eyes pass unhappily on Druig. How does he always look so beautiful and charismatic. "My beautiful girl... you always think so loudly." I feel his blue eyes staring at me, which makes me blush almost immediately, as his gaze travels over my body I feel strangely weak, his eyebrows furrowing when he sees that I've hurt myself. "Come in. I believe you have some things to tell me."
Sersi looks at Druig, trying to see how much what she has just told him may have hurt or affected him. She realises that it's not exactly easy to take in and that Ajak's death affects everyone, even Druig. "Why would I agree to help you?" "For.... to save the world? Isn't that a good reason?" he doesn't answer Sersi's question, which annoys Ikaris, who makes it known. "We're leaving. We don't need him, Sersi. We'll find another way." "Ikaris, this is not really time to be a difficult child, you know.” I can't help but speak up, which I should have avoided. The tone rises very quickly between them. No one really listens to each other anymore and Druig ends up leaving, annoyed and irritated by our presence, announcing bad news.
Kingo stands up, trying to convince Sersi to let Druig think about it, to give him some time.Tired of all the commotion I silently leave this pretty chapel. I venture into the forest while being careful, I really don't want to get hurt again, this is not the time. When I finally find him, with my back to me, facing a sumptuous lake, I feel his anger piercing me with full force, if dealing with my own emotions is a concept that escapes me, dealing with those of others is within my grasp. If I want to talk to him, I'm not going to have the choice of taking that anger away. If Arishem gave me the power to control emotions, I might as well use it once in a while.
I move closer to him and gently let my hand slide down his forearm before entwining my fingers with his. "I've always hated that you control my emotions. But if it allows me to hold your hand, I don't really have a problem with it anymore." I smile at him, trying to back away, to take my hand from his but he holds me back, never looking at me. "Do you think Sersi's idea is the best idea ever?" "You have another idea?" "No. Not really. I don't really know if I care about any of this either."
I look up to the skies, tired of his stubbornness, "I don't want to leave, I like it here. I like its landscapes, its beauty, its weaknesses. I don't want to start all over again, to forget, to no longer know how much I love you all. They need you, Dru. I need you." I look out to the horizon and admire the beautiful sunset. "Take time to think about it, just a little. I know it's not easy for you either. Even if you don't show it." I finally let go of his hand. I don't really expect an answer, so I leave to join the others.
As I arrive back in the centre of the small village, I find my friends ready to listen to one of Sprite's most beautiful stories, Thena's. Sersi beckons me to join her "I love Sprite's stories, I've missed them." I smile at my friend "Me too." Once the Sprite stuff is over I look around for Druig but can't find him, instead I come across a rather angry Ikaris. "Are you sulking? Stop sulking." "Druig can sulk and I can't?" "Druig sulks because that's all he does. Druig sucks. Come on." I hold out my hand to my friend, which he finally grasps.
"Ajak...? Ajak!" I rush towards her, sliding on the ice. Her body is cold, grey, empty of all energy. "Ajak... oh my God..." I try to look around for help, but nothing. "Help! Please!" my crying doesn't stop. I hear a noise that makes me look up. "What the..."
"Y/N? Y/N are you okay?" the voice of Ikaris brings me back to the present moment, a little confused I smile nervously quickly removing my hand from his. "Yes, yes I'm fine! I'm just a little tired, travelling and all that... I'll go and rest for a bit." I offer him a not very convincing smile, I must admit. I walk away, in incomprehension. What just happened? "Since when have you been able to access Ikaris' memories?" I gasp, letting out a small cry of fright. "What the hell is wrong with you! I was close to dying there Druig!" I hear him laugh, his laughter making me, tender. Damn it Y/N this is not the time. "It's not funny! You look like a psychopath like that, hiding in the dark...."
"I saw what just happened with Ikaris, I saw what you saw, since when can you access other people's memories?" "First of all I don't know what you're talking about and second of all who told you that you could walk around in my mind like it was yours?" "You. It's not my fault that your mind is always so tame when it comes to me Darling. If only you could be as docile as he is..." I roll my eyes. "It's not like you like me to give you a hard time. I didn't know it was a memory. I've never done this before... I just held his hand. But... it definitely doesn't make sense. Why would he have a memory like that?"
Druig stares at me, as if to make me understand something that seems so obvious to him. "No. No it can't be, don't even try to say it." "You never thought he could have-" "Shhh. No, no, no, no and no. He would never do that for the simple reason that it's not possible, that's all." "You're getting agitated." "Of course I'm getting agitated Druig you are implying that Ikaris could have killed Ajak, do you realize what you are saying? Of course I'm getting agitated." what if he's right? I feel a wave of uncontrollable anxiety sweep over me.
Everything gets mixed up in my head and I don't know how to separate the real from the absurd. "Who wants honey, must suffer from the stings of bees" these words take me back centuries. While we were Ajak and I admired the starry sky, I confided to him for the first time my love for Druig. The only person who knows it, I confide in her my fear of being hurt and therefore that I didn't want to make the first move but that I still wanted to live a beautiful love story and these are Ajak's words that night. Who wants honey, must suffer from bee stings. "It was because of Ajak that I confided in you." "I know. And it is because of you that I learned to love the outside world."
Nothing could spoil this moment, maybe it was time to confide, to talk about the past. Nothing was supposed to ruin this moment, but that was far too easy, wasn't it? Ready to give myself up once and for all, I feel a feeling of revenge come over me, I don't really understand where it comes from until I see a deviant heading straight for us. Without thinking I throw myself on Druig, creating an energy field, protecting us momentarily from the deviant. Everything happens very quickly and in an instant we are both alone. "The village..." as we arrive at the main square, it's chaotic.
My first instinct is to protect the children who are the most vulnerable. Creating an energy shield around us. I get everyone to safety, as much as I can. "Y/N!" I turn around when I hear Gilgamesh call out to me, I don't have time to realize that a deviant is coming right at me that Gilgamesh intervenes, risking his life. I run towards him trying to help him as I can but I am far from being a warrior. I find myself propelled to the ground with my face turned towards my friend, Ikaris takes the deviant farther into the forest, finally giving the village some respite.
I get up with difficulty, running towards Gilgamesh, lying on the ground. "Hey... get up, I'll help you... get up.." no response, just a small smile only. "Y/N..." "I'm here... come.... I will help you. Get up. I'll help you. Stand up. Please..." I caress his face, my tears burning my skin as he just let out his last breath. "No... no please no... please don't leave me! Don't leave me! "I scream. I scream my anger, my pain, my sadness, I scream my regrets, I scream my remorse. "Y/N... " Thena's hands rest on my shoulders.
All around the fire, no one speaks, only a villager, saying a prayer in Spanish in memory of Gilgamesh. Thena's cries reach my ears. My heart becomes a little bit heavier. I start to cry again, unable to contain it. "My love... come here." Druig wraps his arms around me and I rest my head against his chest, my eyes closed. His warmth and scent reassure me so much. His presence makes me feel good.
In the early morning, Thena deposits the ashes of our dear friend in the lake. Asleep against Druig's chest, the first rays of the sun caress my face and wake me up. "I missed you so much Dru... don't ever leave. Ever again." "My beautiful princess... I won't leave again. I promise. I will come with you. We'll find Phastos and we'll stop the emergence. For earth, for Gilgamesh. Rest a little longer, love... I've got you."
Part two is a bit longer but I loved writing it. It's a bit of a mess but I hope you'll like it anyway and I would probably do a part three if you want. 🦋

Coach (1)
Fandom: Dylan O'Brien
Pairing: AU Dylan x Fem!Reader
Mini series summary: Being a newly single mom of two kids wasn't exactly easy. And love wasn't exactly part of your agenda. So, should you avoid lusting over your son's baseball coach? Absolutely. But with a man like Dylan, could you really resist? Probably not.
Warnings: nothing major yet, small sexual innuendo, mentions of cheating and divorce
WC: 1.9k
A/N: a yes, to those who have been following me for a while may recognize this title, it's my old Dylan AU fic. Yes I decided to continue it. Updates will come periodically, because I write spontaneously and I cant guarantee quick updates. But I do promise I wont wait a whole year to update. And since I did some slight updates in the first 2 parts I decided to archive the old ones and repost them again. So yeah, if you've read them before great, give it another read, my writing is much better now I promise and if you're new welcome, I hope you like this mini series.
(You are here, part 2, part 3)
Tumblr media
Dylan stood by the side of the large field, near the home plate, occasionally yelling out suggestions and pointing out mistakes to the young boys. 
"Ezra! You have to watch the ball! C'mon! I know you can do better!" He called out to the blonde boy standing on the home plate with a bat in hand. Dylan then turned his attention to the dark haired boy with the baseball mitt and ball in hand.
"Roman! What's going on, buddy? You gotta focus, alright? You gotta work on that throw!" Dylan called out to the young boy, who half nodded and sighed heavily in response.
Not long after, Dylan signaled the young boys scattered throughout the large field to gather around. He spoke some encouraging words to the boys before allowing them to disperse and gather their equipment which meant practice was over.
Your son, however, stayed behind for a minute. There was an inaudible conversation happening between Dylan and your ten year-old, Roman. You watched from the bleachers as your son made some tired gestures at his coach followed by a small pat on the back from Dylan. You couldn't help but follow them with your eyes as they made their way to the bleachers, your eyes lingering a bit too long on the brown haired coach. An action that wasn't taken lightly by the female sitting beside you.
"You're staring at him again." Your best friend, Ezra's mother, Eliza -or just Liz, commented.
"I'm not." You muttered out quickly, tearing your eyes away from the handsome coach, your mouth hanging open for a couple of seconds. "I wasn't staring." You stated matter of factly and shrugged as you looked down at the small six year-old sitting on your lap, making sure she wasn't paying attention to the conversation.
"Really? The drool coming from your mouth says otherwise." Liz playfully ran her finger across your chin, pretending to wipe away at it. You slightly glared at her, an eye roll going her way.
"I'm not drooling. I wasn't even staring." You tried to defend yourself, making a small sassy gesture to her.
"Hey, I don't blame you. If I wasn't married," she took a pause as she eyed Dylan as he removed his baseball hat to run a hand through his messy chocolate locks, you couldn't help but stare as well. "I'd jump on his bones any day."
"Hey, there's young ears present." You said quietly to Liz as not to disturb the young girl in your arms.
Despite your attempt not to, you couldn't help but allow your eyes to fall once again on the field, following the handsome male that was the topic of your conversation. You had to hide the infatuated sigh that left your lips at the sight of your son's coach running around the field, talking to the kids and picking up equipment.
"Well he is handsome, I'll give him that.." You admitted quietly, "and he's really good with the kids."
Your friend smirked slightly at your words and wiggled her eyebrows at you.
"I bet that's not the only thing he's really good at." She eyed you suggestively and slightly nudged at you with her shoulder, "You should find out what other things he's good at."
Your mouth instantly fell open and your eyes widened at the insinuation.
"Eliza! Oh, my god. Don't say that." You slightly shook your head to brush off the embarrassment and hid your face on your hands to cover the crimson on your skin.
"Mommy you're warm!" Athena, your six year-old giggled as she grabbed your warm, sweaty hands. Even your daughter noticed the nervousness that crept up on you when it came to Dylan, even if it was just the topic of him. Truth was, you had been shamelessly crushing on your son's baseball coach ever since he joined the team a couple of months ago. 
Get it together, you should not be crushing on your son's baseball coach.
"I know baby, it's just hot out here." You tried to brush it off, but the knowing smirk on Liz's face wasn't exactly helping. "Thena, why don't you go get Roman and Ezra? They're over there." You pointed to the field where Roman and Ezra were talking —or more like just Ezra was, to the other kids on the team. She quickly nodded and bolted off the bleachers, somehow not tripping over the steps as she went down. You sighed heavily the moment the young girl was far enough and slightly turned your head in Liz's direction.
"You should totally ask him out." She said out of nowhere with a shrug and a smirk on her face. Your eyes widened for the hundredth time, and you instantly shook your head frantically, the idea alone giving you a headache.
"Ask Dylan out? No way. I.. No.. That's just.. No." Your cheeks slightly heat up at the preposition. But you quickly turned it down with a vigorous shake of your head, not even giving the idea a minute to sink into your brain. "No, he's Roman's coach. It's just wrong."
"Why? I mean, you're single, and as far as I know, he's very single. Soo," she dragged the 'o' as she wiggled her eyebrows and she nudged your shoulder, pushing you over a little in a high school girl manner, "Why not get ready to mingle with the hot coach?"
"First of all, I'm technically not single, not yet." You groaned with an eyeroll. As much as you and your husband —or ex-husband or whatever were no longer living together, the divorce process had been unnecessarily long and dreadful. So as much as you wanted to be legally single, you were still married to that piece of shit. 
"And second of all, if I were to date someone, which is a big if, I can't date Roman's coach out of all people. He already has enough as it is. It'll just confuse him and probably upset him more." You sighed heavily as you looked over to the side of the field, where all the boys were having a conversation about elementary boys' things. And there you saw your son, trying, and ultimately failing at joining said conversations. And with little Athena tugging at his side, all he got from the other kids was laughing and rejection.
Seeing your son's sad and hurt expression when the other boys laughed at him or even told him to go away broke your heart. You wanted him to be happy again. You wanted him to be the energetic and loving kid he was before your waste of a husband left. Ever since Ryan —your waste of a husband left, Roman hasn't been the same. 
For the past six or so months, he has been distant and seemingly unhappy. All he ever did was lock himself up in his room and play video games. He barely ever interacted with you and Athena anymore. He barely interacted with anyone, period. Once Ryan left, it was up to you to support your kids financially. Of course, their father still paid child support, but he sure as hell didn't pay your bills or everything you needed to spend on your children. Which meant you had to take him out of the fancy school he went to in order to still pay the monthly expenses of your home. And he just didn't quite fit in at school, especially now. 
So, you hoped that him joining the baseball team would change that, that it would help him open up again and that it would help him make new friends. But so far, it's worked just the opposite.
"So, I'm making dinner tonight. Do you want to come over with the kids and get drunk? Luke will watch over the kids." Liz spoke, interrupting your train of thought.
"That sounds a-mazing," you spoke in a song-like tune, a sigh of contentment leaving your lips. "But I can't. I told Roman I'd take him to that Italian place he likes."
"Tomorrow then. I'll have that Chardonnay you love so much waiting for you." She winked at you as you both stood up, ready to greet your children.
"Thank God for your alcohol stash." You joked, flinging your arms up in praise. 
You both laughed and smiled in your children's direction, but your smile dropped as your kids and Ezra approached you. Ezra was holding Athena's hand, while Roman walked behind them, with a certain heaviness on his step and an annoyed look on his face. And Athena had a small pout on her face.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Rome doesn't want to hold my hand!" Athena whined with a pout of her lower lip. She released Ezra's hand and exchanged it for your own. Ezra going to his own mom. While Roman simply stood there, with a hand stuffed into his pockets and the other messing with the strap of his bag, his gaze stuck on the ground.
"Roman, baby," you sighed softly, not wanting to give the poor kid a hard time. You understood he didn't exactly fit in, no matter how much he wanted to, and that upset him. You didn't want to add up to that. "Your sister just wanted you to hold her hand."
"She was embarrassing me.. I'm already the kid without a dad, I don't need to be the kid with an annoying  baby sister." He muttered, his gaze not once leaving the ground.
 His words were harsh, but lacked emotion. And it broke your heart. But as much as you wanted to tell him that it wasn't true, that he did have a dad, you'd be lying if you did. Ryan was already absent in your children's lives before the split, but at the same time he was there, and Roman felt as if he was. But now, his father really wasn't there, at all. And there was nothing you could do about it.
You sighed softly, gesturing your free hand out for him, "Roman, come here," a heavy sigh left the young boy's lips as he took a few steps closer, standing in front of you with his head hanging low and his eyes stuck to the ground. You used your hand to hold the side of his face, his eyes meeting with your own. "Baby, Thena just wanted to show you that she loves you. She didn't mean to embarrass you, right Thena?" You turned your attention to the small girl that hid behind your arm, her eyes glistening with tears.
The small girl sniffled and shook her head, "No.. I'm sorry Rome.. I won't do it ever again, I-I promise."
You exchanged looks between your children, your eyes finally landing on Roman as you waited for a response. You raised an eyebrow at him, your eyes speaking a silent 'and' to the boy. He eventually signed, almost too heavily, and nodded. 
"It's okay, I guess.. I don't really mind all that much." He half smiled, shrugging slightly.
Athena's expression quickly lightened, the small girl detached herself from your hand and hugged her older brother. And as much as he hated to admit it, he didn't mind the affection. He returned the hug and smiled, for a moment at least.
After a second or two, Roman slightly pushed Athena off him, signaling that that had been enough affection for a day. You breathed out softly, turning to look at Liz, who gave you a sympathetic smile in response. 
"Well my loves, off we go. Say goodbye to Auntie Liz and Ezra." Both your children did as you said. Athena hugging both of them, and Roman simply waving at them. Good enough.
And at last, you gave Liz a quick but tight hug, "I'll call you tomorrow." You said shortly before you grabbed a hold of your daughter's hand and your son's bag, and eventually parted ways.
Today was gonna be a long day.
《Here's an edited version of part 1. As always I hope y'all enjoyed it. I'm trying to get back into writing after a long year, hopefully this will help me get back on track. Let me know your thoughts. And let me know if you'd like to be added to my dylan/coach taglist which I do have》

hii miss Saturn! i really liked the Athena fanfic and i was wondering if you could write a part two?
Hello my darling!! Of course! (Everyone knows id die for domestic Techno)
Athena pt.2- Technoblade
Warnings: swearing.
Tumblr media
After Nathaniel had asked for permission to date Athena, Techno quietly lingered about. Not in the creepy way of course, but rather in the protective manner.
He knew you trusted Nathan, after all, Enderman were known for being protective, and precise beings. If Nate didn't see Thena worth his time, he would have left her alone ages ago.
After that little night, Nate ended up lingering around for a long while. Visiting very frequently to be honest. He found a happy comfort within your small family. Your house was always quiet- Unless Techno riled your boys up of course.
You were very happy to say that Nate made his best attempts to get to know your family. Since you all were very important to Athena, he made sure to try and understand why. He would often help you with Dishes, or cooking. Sometimes he even would help feed your youngest son Apollo. Ares, your middle child, was a little harder for Nate to warm up to. But after a while of lingering, Ares did find Nates company relaxing.
Tumblr media
When summer rolled about, Nathaniel was able to persuade his parents into letting him stay with your family for a few weeks. Of course being in the middle of the tundra it was still cold, so there wasnt much to do. But nevertheless he never complained. Instead he asked to help with chores. Even going as far to ask Techno if he could help split wood, for the stove and fireplace.
Techno gave him a weird look in the beginning, this thin, nimble boy was asking to wield a axe. Usually to split wood it took a mighty, hefty swing. (See you know this because you often watched Techno split logs. It was oddly so attractive.) But Techno gave you a quick glance, and in return he earned a little nod, Techno gave a sigh and took the boy outside.
Instead of being a typical hardass about it. Techno went into dad mode. Teaching Nate how to handle the Axe like he was his own son. Explaining what was the proper way to hold it and what he should be weary about. As you watched from the window with Phil, the It never failed, anytime Techno was thrown a child, he somehow just knew how to work with them. Obviously in the beginning he wasn't too fond, but he learned there were perks to children. Especially his own. The two of you smiled fondly at the bonding boys.
"He’s such a good teacher..." you said softly. Watching your husband with loving eyes. It never failed, anytime Techno was thrown a child he just knew what to do. In the beginning he obviously wasn't a big fan of kids, but in the end he realized there was more too them, then what met the eye. Just like his own children. He loved them all, Athena, Ares, and your little Apollo. He saw that everyday there was a new challenge or new thing that popped up, amusing or not they made his day. You felt Phil's firm hand rest on your shoulder, bringing you out of your thoughts.
"He always was... He's a lucky man you know" you smiled a little more at Phil's words. "You two created a beautiful family..." with the thought of your family, your hand subconsciously came down to rest on your stomach. Of course Phil noticed and gave you a knowing look. "Don't tell me there's another one" his gaze went soft and joyful when he saw your pink cheeks and cheeky smile.
"Haven't told him yet... He's been busy with his boys" Phil gently hugged you, Cherishing the sweet moment. The idea of a fourth baby running about the house had you slightly on edge again. But when Techno nuzzled his nose into your neck and asked, you just couldn't say no.
“Thought he said he was done after three?” Phil mused, earning a giggle from you. You eased into his arms like they were Techno's.
“What can I say... He made a persuasive argument”
Tumblr media
After that night everything just, seemed to fall into place. Techno was more than happy with the idea of a fourth child. After all he was the one that offered the idea. The sweetest moment that night however, was one you sadly missed. But Techno would forever fondly cherish it.
With you peacefully asleep in Tech's arms. His hand rested gently on your stomach, a protective habit he had taken up since your first child. Well you both faced the fireplace, he would press gentle kisses to your forehead. A soft and loving show of his affection for you, and the new addition.
Nathaniel, who rested on the love-seat, similarly had Athena asleep in his lap. only instead her head was in his lap. With easy, gentle fingers he brushed stray hairs away. Admiring her beauty that her father had given her. After today Tech and Nate and grown closer together, often exchanging words more often throughout the night.
When techno looked up from your stomach, he gazed at the young boy in front of him. With his gentle nimble fingers he gracefully played with your daughters hair. Admiring her the whole time. Techno saw how he looked at her, it was the same way he looked at you. Not a drop of malice could be seen in his face, all he had for her was love.
"You really love her... Don't you" Nate looked up slowly at Techno's words. Nodding ever so slowly. Tech’s eyes lingered on the boy before him. The idea of some boy being with his daughter left him uneasy still. But if he had to choose any boy he was happy it was Nate.
"She's my world..." Nathan said softly, his voice just above a whisper. His eyes glanced down to you before looking back up at Tech. His normal hardened gaze was replaced with a comfortable gentle look. "(Y/n) said Thena will have another sibling, I uhm... wanted to say congratulations sir..." 
Techno hummed gently, rubbing his thumb softly over your stomach. Your future child nestled within. "Just... just call me dad, Nathan... You've been around long enough to deserve that much..."
Nates eyes lit up, a warm smile gracing his lips. "Thank you, Dad..."

Light - Gwynriel
It had been at least a couple days since Gwyn and Azriel had got any sleep. The twins were going through their wing faze when their wings grew and the pain is excruciating. As little babies, Gwyn hoped they’d give into sleep but it hadn’t worked so far. Neither parent had any sleep with them always on one baby.
Right now, Gwyn was holding Catrin in her arms trying to get her daughter to sleep. Azriel was across the room trying to lull Damon to sleep. Az sighed as he rocked Damon side to side. Gwyn wanted to smile and laugh, to kiss him and rest by his side. But all her energy had been taken from her. Some days she wondered if she was a good mother to her children.
Downstairs, their friends were gathered around after Gwyn and Azriel invited them to dinner. But that had been weeks ago and they forgotten to cancel after Madja had warned that the twins wouldn’t stop the wing faze till late next week or even later. Nesta had come early to help Gwyn make dinner and Cassian had helped Azriel with the babies. But now, Gwyn regretted the dinner.
“Hey.” Azriel moved over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead as they held their babies. “You aren’t a terrible mother and you shouldn’t ever regret anything. We may have underestimated the skills we have to help them but the pain is natural.”
“It is natural.” A voice broke their talk and they whirled to see their family and, “You were just like this. Your fat- father used to hate it so much he’d start to cry himself. The one joy that man brought me, besides you, was to see him cry.” Azriel’s mother stood there as beautiful as the day she’d turned twenty. You’d never guess she was over 500 years old. Or that her son was the spymaster of the Night Court with twin babies.
Azriel gave her a light laugh. One that hadn’t been heard since the twins faze began. Nyx played around with his cousin Athena (Nesta & Cassian’s daughter). His mother stood next to Cassian and Rhys. Azriel hadn’t brought his mother near males for a very long time. Not even his brothers. Only Gwyn had truly met her and spent time with her.
She entered the room and took baby Catrin from Gwyn’s arms. Gwyn was nearly crying as she took a seat in the window seat of the twin’s room. Az smiled at her. She could have a moment’s rest. Feyre followed behind and took Damon from Az’s arms. “Take a seat. You and Gwyn took care of Nyx so much when he was in his faze. Now it’s our turn.” She gestured to the family.
Azriel sat beside Gwyn and held her in his arms. His mother began a soft melody that Gwyn knew it all too well. She’d written that song when she had learnt she was pregnant. She’d never sung it once, to anybody, until Azriel’s mother. She’d sung for her after her and Azriel had broken the news. When Az had gone to see Rhys and Gwyn had stayed. Not even Az had heard the song.
“May these words be the first
To find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun
Now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
I'll hold the world to its best,
And I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I will defend your every breath,
And I'll do better
Everyone stared at his mother for a moment. At her soft voice. Then Gwyn joined in. No one could place the song. Gwyn stood and took Damon from Feyre’s arms as her babies began to rest.
'Сause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realise
The unimaginable light you hold inside
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise, I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
Hold the world to its best
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I’ll do better.”
When they finished the song, Damon and Catrin were sleeping. Gwyn placed Damon in his crib with a soft kiss on his forehead. Catrin was placed in her crib by her grandmother with another soft kiss before the two ushered everyone out and back down stairs.
“Now, it may be because I was raised human but who the heck wrote that song and what’s it called? I want to sing it to Verena.” Nesta was the first to speak as everyone retook their places in Gwyn and Az’s lounging area. Verena was the youngest child of Cassian and Nesta (so far) who was just a little bit older than the twins. Luckily she had been born without wings unlike her sister Athena.
“I-I wrote it.” Gwyn whispered as she took a place by the fire. “When I found out I was pregnant. I kept feeling so afraid that I’d fail. Like I failed Catrin. Like I failed the children in Sangravah.”
“You saved those children, though.” Elain replied.
“Not all of them.” Gwyn felt the tears prickle in her eyes. “Some of them hadn’t been in their rooms when it started. They’d died and I hadn’t been strong enough to save them. Maybe if I had just-”
Rhys took her in his arms knowing all too well the guilt of losing children. “There was nothing you could’ve done. Those children, they know you would’ve tried to save them had you could of. But you saved many more. So many who are alive with their own families and lives today because of you, Gwyn. That isn’t a failure. That’s a hero.”
She smiled softly at Rhys. “Thank you.” She started to laugh a little before looking at her mother-in-law. “How did you remember the song? I sung it once. So long ago.” Gwyn said.
“I never forget a beautiful song like that.” Az’s mother grinned, “Singing always worked with Azriel and I didn’t think his children would be much different. Except, I didn’t have wonderful songs or an extraordinary partner to sing with.” Gwyn blushed as she kissed the top of the woman’s head.
“It was beautiful, Gwyn.” Emerie commented holding Mor. The two were looking to adopt but still had no news. It deeply hurt Gwyn so she allowed the two to take the twins on little Aunty days whenever they wanted.
“Even Amren couldn’t help but smile.” Varian mused as Amren hit him in the chest.
“You’ll pay for that later.” She muttered.
“Oh I’m sure I will.” Varian retorted and gave Gwyn a wink. She broadly smiled at him.
“Thank you for all coming tonight.” Gwyn started, “But I think it’s time for us all to retire. Those babies won’t sleep forever. I don’t want you all to suffer because of it.” She murmured.
“Auntie Gwyn.” She looked down to see Nyx and Athena smiling at her. “We know a way to help!” Nyx proudly told everyone.
“You do?” Azriel raised a brow as his shadows played around Gwyn, Nyx and Thena. The three loved them the most. Well the twins and Verena did too. “How?” Azriel asked
“Whenever my wings hurt because they’re still growing,” Nyx began to explain, “Dada or mama would fly me around Velaris. It always cooled me down and made me feel better.” He continued, “Uncle Cass did the same for Athena.” Athena nodded proudly and touched her wings.
By far, her wings were the largest. Nyx hated it at times but Azriel liked to boast that male wings took longer because they were fiercer. He did it to make Nyx feel better when it wasn’t at all the truth. Athena didn’t mind though.
“If the twins wake up I’ll take em for a fly. One at time and Gwyn can sing to the other.” Az replied, “Thank you kiddo’s.” The kids each hugged their aunt and uncle. Everyone bid farewell and disappeared into the night.
“Would you like me to winnow you home, mother?” Azriel asked
“When did you become so formal?” She laughed.
“Sorry Mama.” He kissed her head
“I’ll stay. You two rest. If the twins wake I’ll take care of them. Tomorrow night you can take them for a fly. Tonight you rest.” Gwyn gave the woman a bone-crushing hug. They got her set up in the room next door to the twin’s and headed for their room.
They bathed together and then headed for bed. But Gwyn couldn’t sleep as she was too worried for her babies. She felt Azriel begin to draw lazy circles on her back. She moved closer into his touch, too tired to do anything else but savour his warmth.
“Сause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realise
The unimaginable light you hold inside.”
When Azriel finished he felt Gwyn’s breath slow and realised she had fallen asleep. Once he knew his mate, his mother and his children were asleep, Azriel allowed himself too, to rest. For tomorrow would bring a whole new day of crying and craziness. But for a few hours, he could dream of Gwyn and the life they had together. Of the gift she’d given him.
Light in his world of darkness.
The song is called Light by Sleeping at Last xx

wouldn’t have it any other way
“I’m sick and I’m home alone and your number was the first one on the list mom left next to the house phone.” So that was why the call was an unknown number. He had May’s cell number in his phone, but not the Grants’ house phone. The only person in the house who used it anymore was Harry because he didn’t have a cell phone yet.
“I’m on my way,” Buck tells May immediately.
In which Buck and May are siblings. Neither of them are sure when exactly that happened. Or 5 times Buck was there for May, and 1 time she got to return the favor. 
read on ao3  |  word count: 1,743
tags:  Buck and May are totally siblings and I will fight you on that, Fluff, Sibling Relationship, 5+1 Things, Protective Evan "Buck" Buckley, mama bear buck, mama bear may too tbh, mentions of very minor injury
**
1. “Hey, it’s Buck.” Buck answers his phone. He doesn’t recognize the number calling him, but having made it known to his coworkers’ kids that they can reach him at any time, Buck’s learned that he should probably always answer his phone. Not to mention, Chimney’s had three new numbers in the time Buck’s known him. The man is a chronic breaker and loser of cell phones.
“Buck? Um, it’s May.” Buck’s a little surprised to hear from May out of the blue, but it’s a welcome one. Except that May sounds either sick or scared, and Buck’s immediately worried.
“May? Are you okay?” Buck asks.
“No, I-” May falters. “I’m safe,” she says, like she knows that’s the first thing Buck’s going to worry about, “but I’m sick and I’m home alone and your number was the first one on the list mom left next to the house phone.” So that was why the call was an unknown number. He had May’s cell number in his phone, but not the Grants’ house phone. The only person in the house who used it anymore was Harry because he didn’t have a cell phone yet.
“I’m on my way,” Buck tells May immediately. “Do you know what stuff your mom has in the house?”
“She brought me Gatorade and told me there’s some soup to reheat, but other than that I’ve got no idea,” May says. “Oh, she left me with some Tylenol and Tamiflu.” Buck racks his brain for drug reactions for a second as he hurries around his apartment, gathering his things so he can head to Athena’s house and straight to his shift that night if he stays late enough.
“Okay, those two are safe to take together. When’s the last time you took meds?”
“When Mom left for work at 8,” May tells him.
“Okay, it’s barely past 9 now so you’ve still got a few hours before you can take anything. Listen, I’m going to stop at the store and then I’ll be at your place. Your mom gave me a key, so don’t worry about getting up or even staying awake to let me in.”
“Thank you, Buck,” May says gratefully.
“You’re so welcome, kiddo,” Buck tells her. “I’m always here for my favorite teenager.”
2. “May, you in here?” Buck calls, stepping into the mostly-empty Grant house. “It’s Buck. ‘Thena told me you got hurt the other day and I’ve got the day off. Wanted to check on you.”
“Buck?” May calls, emerging from the kitchen. Buck’s eyes zero in on the black brace on May’s wrist. “Oh, God, you do not have to waste your day off with me. I sprained my wrist. That’s all.”
“It’s not wasting a day off, dummy,” Buck chides. “It’s checking in like the concerned citizen I am.” May rolls her eyes.
“Well if you’re sticking around, I just ordered pizza. Wanna keep me from eating the whole thing?” Buck grins.
“Toss in a movie or some board games and I’m in,” he answers, though really, he’d stay either way and they both know it.
“Both?” May counters with a small smile, and Buck sticks out a hand.
“Deal.” he says, and he and May shake on it.
3. “Hey, kiddo, can I come in?” Buck calls through May’s door, accompanied by a soft knock.
“Uh, yeah, sure,” comes the reply, and May sounds off. Buck lets himself in to see May sitting on her bed, staring down at her phone. Buck can see that the screen has gone black.
“You seemed off during dinner. You were pretty quiet, didn’t tease me as much,” Buck says, perching on the end of her bed. “Is something going on?” May nods silently about it. “I won’t push if you’re not ready to talk about it, but I’m always here to lend a listening ear. Or a shoulder to cry on.” May seems to think on this for just a moment before speaking, voice tearful.
“I broke up with Alex yesterday.” May says. Buck feels his heart drop for May. He knows they were each other’s first true significant other, and the sting of that first heartbreak is a kind of hurt all its own.
“Oh, May. I’m so sorry,” Buck says, placing a gentle hand on May’s leg. He’s not sure what to do for a moment. “Hey, I saw a pint of Cookies ‘n Cream in the freezer when I was helping with dinner. Want me to grab it with a couple spoons? We can watch a sitcom or something and just feel some feelings.” May chuckles lightly at that.
“You sure? I know you love hanging out after family dinner. I don’t want to pull you away for some dumb girl stuff,” May says. Buck just smiles.
“May, it’s not dumb girl stuff. You’re hurting and I want to help,” Buck says earnestly.
“In that case, I would love to share a pint of ice cream with you,” May says softly. “I’ll pull up something to watch.” Buck smiles and leaves her room, and May can hear him talking softly with Athena for a few moments before she hears the even fainter sound of the freezer opening and closing and the clinking of someone digging around in the silverware drawer. She smiles to herself, wondering how she got so lucky to have Buck around.
4. “Hey there,” Buck greets, finding his phone in the nick of time to keep May’s call from going to voicemail. “I thought you were at work.”
“I’m on break for a few more minutes,” May says, and her voice is shaky. Buck’s ‘worried brother’ brain kicks into gear and he gets up from the couch, going to find an empty spot in the firehouse.
“May, what’s wrong?” he asks.
“I lost my first caller today,” May tells him, sounding like she’s close to tears. “I-I knew this would happen, but… the line went dead and- and the responding units confirmed he was DOA.”
“I’m so sorry, May,” Buck says softly. “I wish I could tell you it gets easier, losing people, but…” he trails off.
“I know,” May answers. “This is why Mom didn’t want me doing this job. Or one of several reasons, I’m not sure.”
“What do you want?” Buck prods.
“I want to keep going,” May says, voice suddenly stronger. “I-I may have lost someone, and that won’t stop, but… I can save people, too. I have been saving people.”
“Atta girl,” Buck says, a smile spreading across his face. “I’m proud of you, May.”
“Thanks, Buck,” May says, and Buck can hear the smile creeping back into her voice. “Shoot, I have to get back to work. I really appreciate you taking my call, Buck.”
“I’ll always take your calls,” Buck promises. He and May exchange goodbyes and hang up, and Buck can’t help the sense of pride that warms his chest.
5. “Buck, I really appreciate your help finishing up moving in,” May says to Buck, handing him a bottle of water from her fridge. It’s only vaguely chilled, but the pair will take what they can get after several hours of hauling boxes to May’s third-floor apartment in the heat of the summer. “I know Mom and Dad and Bobby all feel better about this than me finishing up on my own.”
“Trust me, so do I,” Buck tells May. “I know this place has security and we’re in a good part of town, but it’s still your first apartment, so… I just worry.” May chuckles.
“You’re such a big brother,” she says. “But I promise I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Buck smiles softly down at May, his heart so full of love for her. “Wanna order pizza?” May asks casually, as if she didn’t just forcefully poke another hole in the boat of Buck’s self-doubt that he’s been diligently trying to sink for years. “We could get those breadsticks you like, too.”
“Ooh, that sounds like a great idea,” Buck says, pulling out his phone to order. “My treat. You’re paying rent now, least I can do is get you a free meal. A couple, probably. I’ll leave the leftovers with you.” May grins up at Buck, then pulls him into a huge hug.
“Thank you so much, Buck.” she says softly.
+1 “I’m coming!” Buck calls, making sure Chris is set with his homework before darting off to answer the knock at the door. “May?”
“Hey, Buck,” May says, squeezing Buck’s shoulder with her free hand before breezing past him and heading straight for the kitchen. “Brought some stuff to make dinner, grabbed a movie I thought Christopher would like, too. It’s one of Harry’s favorites.”
“I, uh- Thank you,” Buck says, bewildered, following May into the kitchen. “Not that it isn’t great to see you, but what are you doing here?” May tosses a smile over her shoulder at Buck.
“Bobby told me you’ve been looking after Chris while Eddie’s been in the hospital,” May says. “But Buck, I know you’ve got to be exhausted. I’ve known you for like four years, and you have a tendency to run yourself into the ground if it keeps others afloat. I’m here to make sure that, at least for tonight, you stay afloat, too.” Buck slowly moves farther into the kitchen and then collapses into a chair.
“Thank you, May,” he says softly, and May can see how wrecked he is from the past few days. She walks over to Buck and takes advantage of the fact that he’s shorter than her while sitting and pulls him into a tight hug that she hopes is comforting. “Thank you so much.”
“Buck, you’re always there for me. It’s about time I got to return the favor,” May says. “You sit your butt here and I’ll get some dinner together for the three of us.”
“I am more than willing to sit my butt here for as long as I can,” Buck says, laughing a little.
“Buck! Who’s here?” Chris picks that moment to call from his bedroom.
“It’s May, kiddo,” Buck calls back. “Finish up your homework, then she’s having dinner and watching a movie with us.”
“Awesome!” Christopher cheers, making both Buck and May smile.
“Clearly I’m not the only one who appreciates having you here,” Buck tells May. “Anything I can help with?” May fixes him with a look. “Right. Sitting my butt here. Yes, ma’am.”

Can I request some domestic headcanons with Phoenix? Your writing is amazing, thank you so much for writing and maintaining this blog!
THIS IS SO SWEET I'm going to cry :,) bless you anon of course! Thank you!
Domestic Phoenix Headcanons
Phoenix radiates family man energy, thats just how he is!
He immediately took to acting as Maya's guardian, always offers to take Pearl out to eat and experience things she never got to in her village, and adopted Trucy without hesistation- you cannot convince me otherwise.
This attribute of him definately carries on in his relationship. He's very doting and caring, especially moreso at home.
He allows his goofy side to come out a little more behind closed doors. He's sappy when you do something nice for him, and tries to return the favor tenfold! (Especially when you cook for him! He isn't very good, but he has a few signature dishes up his sleeve)
Okay, I know his room is canonically a mess, and so is his office following his disbarment, but I do think that once he's sharing a living space he definately keeps it neat for the sake of both of you. He by no means is a dirty person, but organization is not his forte.
That being said, I can see him not really enjoying the aspect of tidying up... yes he does (help with) the cooking, but he'd rather have you do the cleaning (the guy makes Apollo and Thena clean his toilet, c'mon). He will take up other tasks such as laundry and shopping!
A deal breaker for him in a relationship is accepting his child, so of course he loves to see the two of you at home. His favorite moments are when the three of you are just spending quality time together.
She gets her silliness partially from him after all! It's never a dull moment between the three of you. Baking together occasionally results in the three of you belting out into song, for example. Or doing the chores turns into a mini competition of who will finish the fastest.
He also enjoys watching movies together. This is partially canon, but he loves to see the reactions you have to his favorite scenes. Bonus points if you get emotional together! If you're not that type you can always tease him though :,)
