Tumblr media
idk if i'm being overly sensitive about this or not, but as sso has been moving away from horror, i feel like maybe this could have had some sort of trigger warning or.. not been included at all?
why would a unicorn even be talking about simulations this feels like two different kinds of unfun whiplash

What REALLY happened at the end of MWIII
SPOILERS AHEAD! PLEASE PLEASE DNI IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS
This is based off of convos I've had with @sofasoap about what really happened at the end of the game
(The gif is us BTW)
Tumblr media
The smack against Johnny's temple shook him quite a bit. Having a pistol go off right next to your ear isn't something very comfortable either. So while Price and Gaz disarmed the bomb, he lay on the ground his eyes unfocused and dazed. There was blood in his eyes, streaming from the cut on his head. Headwounds always bleed a lot anyway, and his shoulder wound was only adding to the crimson on the ground. After the bomb was taken care of and his ears had stopped ringing, he was able to hear the last bit of Price's sentence. "-KIA." "The fuck? I'm not dead!" He went to grab his radio but his arm burst into pain. Oh...that's right. His arm got shot. At least he would be symmetrical now. One shot from Las Almas, one shot from here. Great. "Stay down Johnny...don't mess this up..." Simon mumbled as he patted his vest and disconnected his radio. "Mess what up?" He started to say before Simon put a gloved hand over his mouth. Johnny rolled his eyes and decided that taking a nap would be good right about now. "Yeah...make it believable. Ghost, put some more blood on the other side of his head.." Gaz was getting involved now, a grin on his face. ----------- "You can't be serious.." Johnny was sitting in medical, his arm and temple being stitched up as he pouted. "Deathly." Price said while filling out the correct paperwork. His own death certificate.
Gaz snorted in the corner as he started filling up an urn with the ashes of some other poor soldier who didn't make it. "Makarov thinks you're dead. That's a win for us. We get a new guy and you work in the shadows." Price looked up at Ghost who patted Johnny's un-wounded shoulder. "Like in Las Almas." Simon said softly. Johnny was starting to understand now. The long game...that made sense. "Alright. I get it. But the urn? Seriously Gaz?" "Gotta make it look legit. Now...where do you want your ashes spread?" Kyle was smirking and Johnny rolled his eyes. "I don't fuckin' know. How about the highlands? Over the ocean? Sounds kinda interesting." Simon snorted next to him. "Basic bitch.." He grumbled while standing to grab a backpack to carry the urn in. --------
There they went, the ashes floating over the ocean.
"Well...looks like I need a new callsign." Johnny said while shrugging his shoulders and putting his hands in his pockets. he smiled and nudged Simon with his elbow. "Hey, you're not the only dead man on the team anymore! perhaps I should be Ghost now." Simon rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Nah, needs to start with S, so we don't get you confused. How about Sprit. With that haircut of yours, you look like that fuckin' animated horse." They all looked at Simon. "You watch cartoons mate?" Gaz asked while raising his eyebrow. "Sue me, the music was good." Was the sharp reply. There was silence for a moment before Gaz spoke up again. "When I pretend to die, I wanna be called Spectre or something. Something epic and scary. nothing like your basic ones." "How about none of you pretend to die anymore okay? Jesus, you're all twisted." Price sighed while putting his hat back on his head. "Oh! We need to give you a new name sir! When you inevitably need to fake your death too," Soap said while they began to walk away from the cliff. "That's not-" "Phantom." Simon. "Nah, too basic. Cash Money is better. Because his name is Price." Gaz. "Peepaw." Everybody froze and looked at Soap. "Peepaw?" Price repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Johnny, I'm only thirty eight." Soap shrugged his shoulders and raised his hands in mock surrender. "That's ancient by our standards sir. One foot in the grave already. Ghost has been planning your wake for months now and I just know your knees ache in the-" Ghost whacked him. His own knees had started to creak and crack when he rose from bed every morning. "Watch your fuckin' mouth Mactavish." "Aye L.T"

The Florist and The Curse
"Do you really want me to hit you again?" Jimmy asked, standing on the terracotta mound, as the grass bled into the mesa. His arm was on his hip, chin jutting out proudly, with his other hand resting at his his side holding the hilt of his sword.
"I mean, you only did, like, a heart and a half of damage," Scott said with a shrug. He wasn't scared of Jimmy, no matter what the Red Life tried. He knew Jimmy for what he had been and who he is now; a kind, loyal and energetic man with room in his heart for everyone yet no one at all. "After all that-"
"Do you really want me to hit you again?" Jimmy repeated, more sternly this time. A muscle in his jaw ticked.
"-effort." Scott finished.
"You really want me to try again?" His voice grew deeper, slightly confused but remained firm and threatening.
"I mean, is your task to just hurt me? I'm so confused." Scott blurted out. "Also by shouting a weird catchphrase of 'the florist is gonna get me."'
"Yeah?" Grinning, Jimmy edged a little closer. There was a hazardous tone to his voice that set Scott's nerves on edge. He couldn't help it.
"You have thirty seconds."
The memory of the previous game left a bitter taste in his mouth. Obviously Martyn deserved the win. That was never in doubt. But being stabbed in the chest, then burned alive by his closest ally was not on Scott's bucket-list.
Nor was having Jimmy betray him like that. But, ah well.
He moved on.
Scott hadn't, cursed with too many memories and burdened with pain, blood and remembrance.
"Okay." Scott said. He gently tapped his heels against the horse's sides, urging it a little back. "I- is that your name, The Florist?"
"N- no? Dunno what you're talking about." Jimmy tilted his head like a puppy, his hair falling over his eyes. The usual honey brown was rimmed with bloody red.
"Oh, 'kay, okay." His horse moved further back, at his own insistence.
"Watch your back, Scott, alright? Watch your back." Jimmy warned.
Scott didn't stick around much longer after that.
---
He watched Lizzie fail to kill him. He knew it from the moment she tried to have him step up to the ledge; it was obvious from how her voice was pitched, the tone, the way her hands seemed to twitch urgently at her sides.
Scott hadn't thought she would fall. Maybe trip a little, get hit by an Enderman.
But not fall.
He heard the crackling of the lightning bolt and looked away as it struck at the empty Void, the space where Lizzie had fallen. In her memory and honour, Scott listened to the rolling boom of the thunder that followed.
Jimmy's curse was gone.
The Canary Curse was broken.
He felt something bubble in his throat, a hoarse laugh of joy and pain mixed together in a horridly lovely cocktail. He thought of how Jimmy would react to it. He thought of the shocked widening of his eyes and how his mouth would fall a little. He imagined the shocked huff of breath, pursued by hysteric giggles as he ran forth and proudly declared the curse gone.
Scott was happy for him, truly.
...He still had questions about the whole 'florist' thing, but at least Jimmy had lost his curse.
It was an odd feeling, when it happened. Scott looked fondly upon the last game because of the tether that had snapped when he'd died; the knowledge that the curse was broken, that he'd no longer have to live until all his allies and friends were gone, that the weight had finally been lifted, had relieved him.
He had laughed and smiled and actually felt happy for the first time in years.
Two curses down. Now to break the rest of them.

Getting Pushed Off the High Horse (Haikyuu!!)
Tumblr media
Soooooooooooo... hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted a fic, and I deeply apologize! Life has been busy so hoping on the computer and writing is kind of a hard task, I'm sure some of you can relate. And don't worry, I'm still working on that lee!Hobie fic, but after that's posted I might stop with the Spiderverse fics for a while. I still love the movies, but I've ran out of tickle fic content for that certain fandom. So I'll try posting something new! Hence this fic! I've been a fan of Haikyuu for a while and started watching it again *shoves down at least 50 animes I've been putting on the back burner* Okok I've been rambling now, so here you go! Enjoy! :3
“Hell yeah! That spike was even better than my last one! Eat my dust Akaashi! Woo!” was what Bokuto was currently shouting at his teammate.
It was very uncaptain-like, but his friends knew him well to know that this was a common occurrence. Whenever the team practiced together, Bokuto’s gloating personality shone. Akaashi didn’t mind the showboating, he honestly didn't. But today was not the day.
First, he woke up 30 minutes late to school, had to make up an exam in his first period, spilled his lunch all over himself, read a passage wrong in his English class and got laughed at, found out he failed that first period exam, got a C on another exam, got fussed at for sleeping in class, and accidentally packed his dirty uniform rather than a clean one for practice, so he stunk really bad. Out of all the days the gods wanted to test him, this was the day. And Bokuto was no help. In fact, he was the one that caused Akaashi to spill his lunch. He apologized… but not after he cackled like a lunatic! He even threatened to make ‘soup crotch’ his new nickname. A ‘don’t you fucking dare’ look ended that threat quick and Bokuto even offered some clean clothes he had. Which was surprising since… well, since it’s Bokuto. 
And now, after that extra mean spike Bokuto just served, Akaashi’s anger was near its boiling point. He glared at his captain from the other side of the next, wanting so badly to wipe that smug smirk off of his stupid face. Bokuto caught on and had some shit to talk.
“Oooh, is someone mad he can’t block my spikes? You should have gotten used to it by now~ Isn't losing to me your strong point? Since you’ve been losing to me ever since we met, I thought you would have rolled over and accepted your fate already~” Bokuto purred, snickering when Akaashi’s glare grew sour. The ravenette responded with a quick, “Shut up, owl.”
“Don’t let him get in your head!” Konoha shouted. Akaashi shook his head and tried to focus. But today’s events just kept piling up every time he looked at Bokuto’s stupid, annoying face. He took a deep breath in and exhaled in an attempt to calm himself. As soon as these practices were over, he could go home. He just wanted to go home.
Washio served the ball and the game was in motion. After the back and forth tosses, Bokuto took his stand.
“Pass it to me!” he called. Akaashi kept eyes on his friend, watching the ball spin in the air towards him. He watched as the ace readied himself then ran to the net, Akaashi right in front of him. They jumped at the same time, Akaashi ready to block. Bokuto had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, one his best friend could spot a mile away. Then, there was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
“Take THIS, soup crotch!!!” Bokuto’s scream echoed across the gym as the sound of the ball slamming on the court followed suit. When they landed, Akaashi struck. He immediately ducked under the net and tackled the older boy to the court. Surprised, Bokuto let out an undignified squeal before bursting into maniacal laughter. He guarded his head as Akaashi attempted to collide his fists to the other’s shitty hair. He wasn’t trying to seriously injure, he would never go that far, but a few bruises wouldn’t kill the ace.
“I! Told! You! To! Shut! Up!” Akaashi growled between blocked hits. Bokuto just laughed and laughed as he grabbed Akaashi’s wrists and held them up.
“Hahaha! Looks like soup crotch can’t take the teeeasiiiing~” Bokuto just had to keep it up. Akaashi’s eyes burned bright with a murderous fire. Without knowing what else to do, Akaashi ripped his arms from Bokuto’s grip and shoved them into his armpits. That probably wasn’t the best idea since his pits were extremely sweaty, and because Bokuto decided to show everyone his best rodeo bull impression.
Bokuto proceeded to shoot his arms to his sides and hug his chest, cackling hysterically as his friend attacked a particularly bad spot. Their teammates watched on with exasperated yet understanding smiles. And plus, they didn’t dare intervene. Not when Akaashi’s face looked like he was happily skinning his prey alive.
“Yeah, yeah! Nothin’ to say now, huh? Huh? You were all big talk not one second ago, where did that talk go? Where did it go Bokuto?! You shut up real quick when someone gets a few tickles in, don’tcha? Come on, tease me again! One more jab, one more mock, one more word I dare you!” Akaashi bellowed with a sadistic smile on his face. Bokuto howled with mirth as he rocked side to side, kicking his feet to try and lessen the tickly feeling somehow.
“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! A-AKAASHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI! NAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! EHEEHEEHEE- GAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!” screamed Bokuto. He could never handle tickles well, his friends knew this. Even a squeeze to his side would send him through the roof. But this was plain ol’ mean. Akaashi knew his weak spots better than anyone, and how to tickle just right so Bokuto ends up crying.
“Oh nuh-uh! You deserve this, you bastard! How are you able to read the court, but not your friend?! Why do you have to be so. Damn. Annoying?!” Akaashi growled as he now focused on Bokuto’s ribs, alternating between his massaging technique and his clawing technique. The poor ace finally managed to roll onto his stomach, but somehow, not being able to block out the tickles from behind made him even more ticklish. 
“REEHEEHEEHEEEEE!! AKA-AKAAHAHAHAHAHAHASHI! SAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARRY! I’M SAHAHAHAHAHAHAHARRY!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT'S JUST- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! IT’S SOHOHOHOHOHOHO EHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEASYYYYY! REEEEEEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEEEE!” Bokuto cried. He attempted to crawl away, but Akaashi kept him down by laying his shin over the small of his back. The rest of the Fukurodani team, who decided to take a water break since this might take a minute, laughed from the sidelines.
“Oh my god, he sounds like Scooby Doo!” One of them remarked. The others cracked up even louder, joined their voices with Bokuto’s in the echoing gym. Akaashi himself couldn’t stop himself from smiling earnestly either. Bokuto was a dummy, that fact wasn’t to be argued with. But at least he was a loveable dummy. Even when he’s more aggravating than sin. All the teases and jabs he made to Akaashi were all friendly. He didn’t have a sinister bone in his body. He probably thought that he was cheering up the setter, so no harm was truly intended. Such a moron, Akaashi thought to himself.
“Apologize! Or else!” Akaashi demanded, pausing the tickling and placing his hand on the back of Bokuto’s thigh. Bokuto flipped himself on his back with a panicked scream.
“I’M SORRY!!!! I’m sorry for calling you soup crotch! And for making you spill the soup! And for hitting those nasty spikes! Please please please please have mercy Akaashi!” Bokuto begged. Akaashi smirked and stood up, putting his hands on his hips.
“That’s right dumbass. Learn to cheer your friend up in different ways.” Akaashi was about to walk away when he felt Bokuto’s weak hand clasp his shorts. The ace panted heavily and gulped a few times, wanting to say something but unable to get it out just yet. Akaashi rolled his eyes fondly and waited.
“Aka- *gulp* Akaashi… *pant pant pant* Let’s stop by a store… *pant pant* and get… *gulp* meat buns? I’ll *pant* pay…!” Bokuto asked. The setter looked at him surprised, then smiled and nodded.
“That’s fine with me. Now get up and drink something before you pass out.” He pulled the ace to his feet and pushed him towards the bench. After practice, Bokuto kept to his word and bought them each five meat buns from a local convenience store. Akaashi didn’t need that much, but it was the thought that counts. He reflected back on today while walking home with Bokuto, who wouldn’t stop talking, and smiled. Eh, today wasn’t so bad, he thought.

Cowboy Casanova {Cowboy!Shanks x Reader}
Tumblr media
Shanks is divorced to an unknown woman in this AU (??) Her loss I guess🤷. I was going to use Nami instead of Belle-mere but then I remembered that didn't make any sense timeline wise sooo here we are
Western AU Rules Word Count: 0.7k Spoilers: None
"Uh oh, look who's coming." Belle-mere nudged you, watching as Shanks make his way over to where the two of you sat on your ancient porch, his horse hitched up on one of the nearby posts. It was a wonder how the drunk even managed to tie the knot with how much he drinks daily.
"Well, howdy ladies, fancy seeing y'all here." Shanks greeted, faking a thick southern accent as he tipped his hat to the two of you.
You couldn't stand Shanks. You've heard too many stories about him in the many bars around town to have much respect for him. Most of them end with the redhead being dragged out to stop him from drinking and flirting with all the women there. Someone with so little care about their reputation always left behind a trail of trouble- bad luck, so to speak. You only wished your heart would stop aching whenever the alcoholic in question came up in your mind. You thought you hated everything about him, so why did you want him around so bad? Why do you daydream about talking to him for hours on end? Why did he have to be so handsome? You could tell Bell-mere knew about your little crush through all the knowing glances she always shot your way. You swore you'd kill her if she kept making it so obvious.
"Shanks," You greeted, clearing your throat, "What are you doing here?"
His eyes glimmered with mischief as he caught your gaze with his own, "Just thought I'd stop by and say 'hi' to my two favorite girls."
Bell-mere snorted, rolling her eyes playfully as she spoke, "Oh please, Shanks, take all your flirting back to the bar. None of that'll work on us."
"Yeah?" He grinned, "Well, maybe that's why you two are my favorite." You felt a light blush dust your cheeks at his words. You didn't think you'd last long if he kept at this game of his.
Small, golden clouds of dust started to kick up against the strong orange of the setting sun. The night sky that slowly peaked out above the rolling hills of the west faintly cast an ocean of darkness over the desert landscape.
"No really though, what are you doing here?" You questioned, curious as to why he traveled all the way from the city to where your small house sat on the edge of town. It wasn't a ridiculous journey by any means, but it took about an hour to do so, and you doubted it was only to say 'hi'.
He gazed into your eyes for a moment before replying, "My daughter, Uta, she's uh- well- I need help watching her." He paused for a moment, considering his next words, "She's young, and I'm away a lot longer than I'd like to be. Would you at least consider it?"
You thought about it for a moment- well, overthought it. Babysitting his daughter would surely make people talk. It wasn't exactly common for a divorced man let his daughter be taken care of by someone other than his ex-wife. Would this make you appear to be his wife? Or perhaps Uta's mother? Was this his strange way of courting you? It was Belle-mere not-so-subtly stepping on your foot that broke you out of your little trance.
You blinked up at the man and sighed, "Yeah, bring her over here tomorrow, I'll look after her."
"Thank you, (Y/N), you have no idea how much this means to me." He beamed, jogging up the creaky wooden stairs of your old porch as he leaned in and kissed you on your cheek gratefully.
Your blush rushed back fast as you stammered over your next choice of words, "Y-yeah, anytime- I mean, we're friends, right?"
"Yeah," His features held a sort of saddened desire as if he wanted-hoped even, that they would've been replaced with something else- something more intimate. "If you ever need anything, just come fetch me, alright?" He cringed internally at the word 'friend', but he supposed 'friends' would do for now.
You watched longingly after the redheaded drunk. It didn't take long for Belle-mere to catch on to your stare, as she quickly started teasing you for it. Belle-mere's playful jabs and giggles, your desperate pleas for her to quiet down, and the hooves of Shanks' horse as he made his way back to the closest bar to try and drink his feelings away again filled the night air. Both of you and Shanks' lives would be a little different now that this little event would be set in motion.

Kicho's Main Story Chapter 9 Part 1
These translations are not intended as a replacement for the game. Please support cybird by buying their stories. SPOILERS under the cut. Expect mistakes.
Tumblr media
(Could it be that this guy is...?)
Man: "As I thought, one of the twins survived."
The man clucked his tongue and walked up to Kicho casually.
(Survived?)
Mai: "Kicho!"
Tumblr media
Kicho: "..........."
Man: "Who the hell are you!?"
Jumping out of the shadows, I immediately lifted the table and threw it toward the man.
CRASH!
Man: "Whoa!"
(Okay! Now!)
Mai: "Let's run!"
I grabbed his small hand tightly and ran toward the doorway.
(It's gonna be okay. I'll figure it out.)
(I'll protect him.)
We ran out of the castle, took a horse, and continued to flee without looking back, only stopping when we were in the middle of nowhere.
Mai: "I think we're safe now that we've made it this far."
Kicho: "Yeah. They already caught that guy."
Mai: "Huh!? How can you tell?"
Kicho: "He got caught by the vassal, who noticed the commotion when we passed the hallway."
Kicho: "I think that vassal thought I was Nohime."
Mai: "That's..."
Kicho: "It was worth it to dress like this."
He smiled softly as he traced his lips.
Mai: "If you already knew, you should've told me earlier."
(If they thought he was Nohime, I would've been treated as a kidnapper and a thief because I also stole a horse!)
Kicho: "If I told you, they would've found out who I was."
Kicho: "Also, I've always been curious."
Mai: "Curious about what?"
Tumblr media
Kicho: "Everything that's not in that room."
He took his eyes off me and carefully dismounted the horse as I followed suit.
(Oh...)
A fresh morning breeze crossed over the plain and ruffled our hair playfully.
The sound of grass and flowers rustling reached my ears and eventually faded away, absorbed by the blue sky.
It was a heart-wrenching moment.
(I see. That room doesn't even have a breeze like this.)
Kicho: "What did I do to my body?"
Mai: "Kicho?"
Kicho: "I was only born into this world. I didn't do anything to be shunned like that."
Mai: "............"
When I saw him turn toward me, I felt a pain in my chest similar to that of a nail being hammered.
Soon, large, uncontrollable tears were spilling from his wide-open eyes as if his feelings had broken down.
Kicho: "I don't want to die. I just want to live."
Kicho: "I'm not Nohime. I'm not a person who doesn't exist. I'm...!"
Mai: "Kicho."
Tumblr media
Kicho: "..........."
Mai: "You are you."
Mai: "There's a lot I don't know, but that's the one thing I know very well."
I hugged his little body tightly as I told him this.
Mai: "This is just my take on it, but in this world, other people's evaluations and values make you who you are."
Mai: "But no matter where you are and what you do, you are you."
Mai: "As long as you continue to live and have your will, this fact will never change."
Kicho: "..........."
(These are the most important words he gave me, so I want to return them properly.)
Mai: "Please continue to live as you."
Mai: "I want you to live, too.”
Kicho: "Really?"
Mai: "I'm not lying. I told you earlier that I wouldn't lie to you."
(My meeting with him in the future was the exact opposite.)
(I’ve spent days searching for the truth, confused about what’s right or wrong.)
(In the end, I couldn’t convey anything properly.)
Mai: “I want to be honest, not for your sake, but for mine.”
Mai: “That’s why these words are not lies.”
Kicho: “This is weird.”
Tumblr media
Mai: “Is it?”
Kicho: “It wasn’t just your words. You took me with you and ran all the way here.”
Kicho: “You’ve been on my side ever since you showed up out of nowhere.”
(Oh...)
He looked at his hand on my arm and squeezed it tightly.
(I wonder if I conveyed the heartfelt feelings I couldn’t put into words before.)
I wrapped my body around him as if I were hugging the only treasure that was more valuable than anything else in the world.
I felt his heartbeat that overlapped with my own.
Kicho: “I don’t know why you care so much about me, but I believe you. No matter what happens, I will live.”
Mai: “That’s a promise, okay?”
Mai: “If anything happens to you, I’ll be very sad.”
Slowly, I released my arms, and he stared at me.
His eyes were a little reddish, but much more intense than the ones I had first seen in the dark room.
Kicho: “What’s your name?”
Mai: "Huh?"
Kicho: "Your name. I still don't know it."
Mai: "Oh, right. I'm...."
Girl's voice: "Please, answer me! Where are you!?"
Tumblr media
Kicho: "-----!"
(I can hear a child's voice and multiple sounds of hoofbeats. I think someone's coming.)
Mai: "Um, Kicho. Did you hear that?"
Kicho: "It's Nohime."
Mai: "So it's your sister's voice."
(Thank God. He can get home safely now that someone is coming to look for him.)
The moment I breathed a sigh of relief...
Mai: "-----!"
I heard a sudden roar of thunder, and rain began to pour down.
Kicho: "Why suddenly?"
Mai: "This is bad. You'll get wet if you don't hurry up. You need to join your sister quickly."
(Huh? This rain feels familiar.)
(Right, a wormhole!)
Mai: "Kicho, I think this is where I have to say goodbye."
Kicho: "What?"
Mai: "I can't involve you in this. I'm sorry!"
(I'm sure that with all those horses, Nohime and the others would notice him immediately.)
I left Kicho behind and ran as fast as I could.
Tumblr media
Kicho: “Big sis! I still don’t know your name!”
Mai: “Don’t worry. We’ll see each other again soon!”
I waved my hand, shouting so as not to be drowned out by the sound of the rain.
(He will live and be free to leave, but he will still get tied down by heavy shackles.)
My wanting him to live is unmistakably my true intention.
And I want that life to be something that is not bound by a dark room or shackles.
(I’ve come a long way, so let’s not get lost again. Let’s run straight with our legs and hearts.)
A haze began to form around me, surrounding me, and then I lost consciousness.
Mai: *sigh*
I quickly sat up and looked around.
(I’m in the cabin. I see. I’m back.)
(I’ll never get used to this feeling, even though this is the third time I’ve gone back in time.)
The scenery outside hadn’t changed, and it appeared that not much time had passed since I had lost consciousness in the cabin.
However, I was soaking wet, showing that it wasn’t a dream.
Mai: “Alright!”
(I need to go to him.)
I stood up, determined, when...
Tumblr media
Motonari: “Sorry for the intrusion.”
Mai: “Motonari!”
Motonari opened the door with a kick and widened his eyes slightly when he saw me.
Motonari: “What were you doing?”
Mai: “Nothing. I went swimming.”
Motonari: “You mean you went for a dip in the sea at a time like this? You’re crazy.”
Mai: “I didn’t do it because I liked it, but it did clear my head.”
Mai: “More importantly, what do you want?”
(He’s in alliance with him, so maybe he’s got some kind of message.)
As I waited expectantly for Motonari’s response, I heard footsteps approaching again.
Subordinate 1: “Lady Mai! Are you okay一gyaah!”
Kicho’s subordinate jumped in and collapsed on the spot, his face contorted in pain.
Mai: “Eeeek!”
Motonari’s Subordinate: “Boss, we’ve cleaned up everything.”
Motonari: “You’re late.”
Motonari’s Subordinate: “He resisted, saying he never heard such instructions.”
Motonari: “I don’t need any excuses.”
(What does that mean?)
Almost shaken by what happened, I stepped back and distanced myself from Motonari and the others.
I wanted to escape, but they were blocking the entrance.
Mai: “Cutting him even though he resisted is awful. Aren’t you guys comrades?”
Motonari: “Ha? We’re not friends. We’re just temporarily working together because of our shared interests.”
Motonari: “So, if he gets in my way, I’ll kill him.”
Mai: "That's too much!"
Motonari: "You're no exception, princess."
Motonari: "Because of you, the crazy demon became human."
Tumblr media
Mai: "Demon?"
(Could it be...)
Motonari: "You know him well. It's Kicho."
Motonari: "Ever since he got involved with you, he's been acting strange."
Motonari: "That's why we have to get rid of him for our plan."
Mai: "-----!"
Motonari: "Take her."
Motonari's subordinate: "Yes, sir."
Mai: "Let me go! No!"
(I need to get to Kicho right away!)
I twisted desperately to shake off the arm that Motonari's man had grabbed, but the difference in strength was obvious, and I felt a searing pain.
Mai: "Ouch."
Motonari: "Grow up. You don't want to end up like him, do you?"
Motonari glanced at Kicho's subordinate, lying on the floor.
Mai: "So where will you take me when I stop resisting?"
Motonari: "That's something you'll have to wait and see."
Mai: "If you do this, won't it cause a rift in the group?"
Motonari: "The opposite. When you're gone, he'll wake up."
Motonari chuckled, his eyes the same color as the blood spreading on the floor.
(I don't think I can escape on my own.)
(Kicho!)
At the same time一
Tumblr media
Kicho: "..........."
Kicho suddenly frowned and stopped his horse.
Subordinate 1: "Lord Kicho, is something wrong?"
Kicho: "No, nothing serious. I'm just a little dizzy一Mai?"
For a moment, he felt some kind of memory flashing through his mind.
When he looked up, the sky remained the same color, but the slightest whiff of rain reached Kicho's nose.
Kicho: "Don't tell me..."
He regained his grip on the reins and was about to move on again when一
Tumblr media
Mitsuhide: "Wait."
Mitsuhide appeared from among the trees, gun in hand.
Kicho: "Mitsuhide. Are you here to interfere with me again?"
Mitsuhide: "I'd say, of course, but there's one more thing."
Mitsuhide: "Have you seen Mai?"
Kicho: "I see. You've been following that woman."
Kicho: "Don't worry. She already contacted us."
Mitsuhide: "Is she okay?"
Kicho: "Yes, but she'll never return to the Oda army."
Kicho: “We move her to a place where no one can touch her.”
Subordinate 2: “Lord Kicho!”
Subordinate 2: “I have a report. Someone has taken Lady Mai!”
Kicho & Mitsuhide: “----!”
Kicho: “What do you mean?”
Subordinate 2: “I returned to the cabin after preparing the small boat, but there was no sign of her.”
Subordinate 2: “The man on guard was also unconscious after someone slashed his back.”
Mitsuhide: “Is there any possibility that Mai has escaped of her own free will?”
Subordinate 2: “Mitsuhide Akechi! How can you say something like that?”
Subordinate 2: “Are you sure you guys didn’t take her as a hostage again?”
Mitsuhide: “I see. It seems that there is a lot of mixed information out there, or are you really attached to that woman enough to make her worthy of being a hostage?”
Tumblr media
Kicho: “I wonder about that. Either way, we don’t need to talk about that right now.”
Mitsuhide: “What matters is who took her?”
Mitsuhide: “For her sake, I’ll give you the right information this time.”
Mitsuhide: “It’s not the Oda forces. I can assure you of that.”
Kicho: “I assure you that we have no intention of spreading lies and causing confusion about this matter, either.”
Mitsuhide: “Oh? So you’re saying that a third party took her away?”
Subordinate 2: “By the way, I noticed that the area around the hut was wet. It was as if it had rained only there.”
Kicho: “Rain...?”
Kicho quickly reached into his pocket despite the gun pointing at him, but what his fingertips were looking for wasn’t there.
Kicho: “I see. If the future is destroyed, so is the life that was there.”
Kicho: “I’m going back to the port. You guys look for Mai.”
Subordinate 1: “Yes, sir.”
Mitsuhide: “Don’t move. I can’t let you get away from here.”
Kicho: “Then come with me.”
Kicho: “That woman, Mai, may not be here in Japan anymore.”
Tumblr media
Mitsuhide: “What?”
Tumblr media
Kicho & Mitsuhide: “Mai!”
When the two jumped into the cabin, it was, as they reported, empty.
Nothing remained but the bloodstains of his subordinate, who had already been carried away by his comrades.
Kicho: “I knew it.”
Mitsuhide: “Kicho. What do you mean, she’s not here in Japan?”
Kicho: “It exactly means what it says. Mai’s existence disappeared.”
Saying this, Kicho gently reached into his pocket, where there was nothing left but the perfume.
Mitsuhide: “Existence?”
Kicho: “That woman is from the future. Also, I know that future, too.”
Mitsuhide: “That sounds like a fictional story. What proof do you have?”
Kicho: “Only the knowledge I have in my head.”
Kicho: “If you don’t want to believe it, don’t. I’m not asking you to do that.”
Mitsuhide: “Then, if that were true, why did Mai disappear?”
Tumblr media
Kicho: “It’s simple. This present is connected to the future.”
Kicho: “When the present changes, so does the future. It also affects those who live there.”
Kicho: “Mai is no exception.”

Never done an ask before, so this is interesting. Anyways, I decided to try my hand at translating some of my OCs into Clanmew! Forewarning, I was doing this while playing COD with my siblings, and had some trouble with translating!
FlintShadow - Swarfyfwasha; I couldn't find flint, so I went with this.
BadgerHeart - Pihabababun: I also couldn't find badger, so I don't know if I'm just bad at using google sheets, or... But I think this name is fun to pronounce even though he's evil. Really funny.
BristleStrike - Bachkubo: I almost went with Marrl for his prefix instead, but I didn't want it to be so negative.
ChestnutScar - Konchyach: I just couldn't find most of the prefixes, though that could've just been my inexperience. I also kinda like how this one's pronounced, too.
FoxFang - Aowaoki: I find this one is pretty cute sounding.
OakThistle - Byochkegkep: He's got a mouthful of a name! Really like it, though. I went pretty generic with the Thistle part, since I didn't know the connotations or much about the specific plants and didn't have time between COD matches to do so. Sorry.
BuzzardStrike - Yassgakubo: this guy is BristleStrike's, ChestnutScar's and OakThistle's father. Not very nice, either.
StarlingFrost - Kaawiachiki: This is the main girl, younger half-sister to FlintShadow and BadgerHeart. She's also lesbian, so that's great. Actually, LeopardStep is her mate.
LeopardStep - Saorpappap: I figure there's a better word for 'Step', but it's late where I'm from and I have school tomorrow. It's also really cute, but it doesn't really fit her personality. She's more out-spoken and brazen and things like that.
Yeah, so... These certainly are not the best, but I think they're good for my first shot at this. It was actually pretty fun! Of course, if you have better ideas for the translation, I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism!
I love your BB AU, btw! And it has inspired me to work on my own OC clans! Sorry for how long this is!
You did excellently! These names are great!
Here's a scattershot of some fresh words for you;
Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) = Koneq Note that in Clanmew, a name for a plant refers to the ENTIRE organism, so this word refers to a horse chestnut tree. This is actually because Clan cats are obligate carnivores, they mostly think of trees and plants in terms of how they affect HUNTING, not the edible things they produce. They also wouldn't distinguish between the Horse Chestnut and the Sweet Chestnut. This is because prey will eat the nuts equally, but sweet chestnuts can finicky. They don't grow well in the wild. Even if the Clan cats had access to a couple of sweet chestnuts, they would just assume it's a chestnut with differently-shaped leaves and never find out that their nuts are edible, because horse chestnuts are HIGHLY poisonous to cats. They would not risk trying to eat a sweet chestnut, assuming that it's the same type of toxic rock as a horse chestnut.
Conker = Okikwo Comes from Spike + Ball. One of the very few fruits that has a unique name unrelated to its "plant" in Clanmew! Conkers are the green, spiky "nut" (nekboq) containing poisonous "acorns" (kong) that come from chestnut trees. They are often wrapped in leather and used as balls, though some games just play with an unwrapped conker (ow).
Flint = Boshur Etymology unclear; Possibly Stone + Holy + Pale. Found exclusively at the Mothermouth, which is an abandoned quartz mine. Because there is no other good source of flint at Sanctuary Lake, the pieces that were brought with the Clans fleeing the destruction of the White Hart have become precious heirlooms. Flint is the most reliable way of making fire. Clan cats believe that it is a gift from StarClan, and reacts when struck against the "evil" fake-flint that Humans try to clad their monsters and fences in (metal).
Stance, gait, "way of walking," most common form of the "step" suffix = Yam Most of the time, if a specific verb for a type of walking isn't used, -step is "yam." When used with a prefix, it implies that they MOVE like the thing they are named after. It means a bit more than just a single physical step, or a particular movement, it's the WAY it moves around.
Pawprint, animal track = Pabyam Self-explanatory. The impression of an animal's foot on the ground.
And, lastly, badger is mair. I realized that we just didn't have a word for it a while ago, and I was also taken aback by that. It's surprising we went this long without it, lmao.

fic snippet: you keep using that word i do not think it means what you think it means
Officially speaking, the most beautiful among all the Endless siblings was Desire.
Which was kind of the point, really. Desire was every fantasy, every lustful thought, every want brought to life. No portrait can ever truly capture Desire, because to see them is to want them, to love them, hopelessly, passionately, to the exclusion of all else.
Except Desire has an older brother and his name is Dream.
And in the eyes of the peasant turned soldier named Robert "call me Hob" Gadling, Dream was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.
The moment he had laid eyes on Dream of the Endless, well, arse over teakettle was such an inelegant way to put things, but seriously, that was how he fell deeply and hopelessly in love with the King of All Night's Dreaming. Desire could've have shown up bare as the day they were born in front of Hob Gadling's nose and he would not have noticed or cared a whit.
Dream of the Endless had glided up to Hob Gadling and said, "Did I hear you say that you had no intention of ever dying?"
God's blood, no, now that I've set eyes on you, my lord. Was what Hob wanted to say. If he had been a poet, he might have composed a bleeding sonnet, a psalm, a song to answer him. But he barely had his letters and he was well aware that he was far beneath this lovely, fair Lord with his snow-white skin, that soft dark hair and those brilliantly blue eyes that seemed to hold all the universe in them. So he had to rely on his quick wit instead. "Um. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Death's a mug's game, innit? I won't have any part of it." That and his best, most charming smile, that had won many a maid (and a lad) in his day.
Dream's lips curved into one of his rare smiles, though this had an edge of cruelty in it. But Hob Gadling didn't know that, at least not yet, since there was a bet between Dream and his sister Death that he was wholly unaware of and that he had just, somehow, gotten that Great Lady's favor.
"Then you must tell me what it's like. Let us meet here, again, Robert Gadling, in this tavern of the White Horse, in a hundred years."
Hob had only one thought in his mind and that he wanted this pale, beautiful stranger to call him by name one more time. He'd follow wherever this man wanted him to go, just by that alone.
"As you wish." Was Hob's only answer. Although by that point, he really meant to say I love you.
-tbc-

Fifty(-One) Follower Celebration
Oh my goodness, 50 followers?! Thank you so much! I never expected this blog to get too much attention and the fact that fifty of you out there like my writing enough to follow me really means a lot. I am currently working on answering my first request, but I'd love to have more! As a little celebration, here are fifty-one prompts I've come up with (and a few I borrowed with credit).
Guidelines:
Can be platonic or romantic--platonic scenarios can involve multiple characters
Will only be PG-13
Any character from LoTR or The Hobbit is fair game, but for romantic scenarios I prefer male characters
Don't be afraid to combine prompts!
Physical Affection
1. Hugs that last a little longer than they should
2. Palm kisses
3. Hair ruffling
4. Play wrestling
5. Hair washing
6. Cuddling in hot weather

17. "Did you know you talk in your sleep?"
18. "You always end up looking like you're going to fall asleep when I play with your hair." / "Yeah, it's relaxing." (These first three were from a post by @thelonelyempath)
20. "Don't you know who I am?" or "I don't even know who you are."
19. "I can't sleep without you next to me." (I've seen ones like this before, but I think the concept with other characters would be quite interesting)
21. "What do you have behind your back?"
Activity Prompts
22. "Is it so hard to believe that I genuinely want to hear what you think?"
23. Friendly breaking and entering
24. Shopping together

HI OMG!! i just read ur shuri x reader transfer student fic and i absolutely love it so much!! what ab reader taking shuri to one of the football games and just seeing how the hbcu culture is?? like the band, the majorette team, the cheerleaders, the sororities and fraternities??? like shuri would fall in love with the environment i feel like.
THANK YOU FOR SENDING IN SOMETHING!!! i actually LOVE this idea so much bc I WAS THINKING THE SAME THINGGGGG. we see each otha!! (i switch between using 3rd and 2nd person pov when i do headcanons so i apologize if its confusing!!)
Tumblr media
so, a lil backstory
when reader was in high school, they HATEDDD football games and pep rallies
they were so boring.
like you know the song called the horse by cliff nobles?? the song like every damn high school band played??
even readers school couldn't play that shit right. just bland.
so when reader began attending an hbcu as a freshman, and they did football games RIGHT???? oh my god reader was on cloud nine.
they've liked these football games ever since
and they wanted to make sure that shuri had the same experience as them when they first started going to school
so the first game rolls around on friday
and you're taking a walk with shuri (yall started taking these daily campus walks together.. a lil gay if you ask me 👀)
and so you finally break the news about the football game
i would assume wakanda is more knowing of soccer than football games, but they certainly dont live under rocks, i think they know what "football" is
nonetheless, shuri was mad confused when you told her that people dance and play songs of the black american culture at these games
but she's also very intrigued
you explain more thoroughly, and that was all it took for her to be onboard
i mean, she was hella excited for it.
so when the day finally comes, you were planning to pick up shuri, but lo and behold
that girl came to pick YOU up!
she's knocking on your dorm door, and your roommate is raising an eyebrow at you while shes doing her makeup.
"girl i told michael to pick me up at 5.. what is he doing here so early?"
and you too thought it was her date.
but you go and open the door, and see shuri standing there, wearing a hoodie of y'alls school and some jeans
and you already KNOW she got that short hair 😩
shes looking down at you with a smile, leaning on the side of your door.
"uh-- hey. i know you said you were coming to get me but i felt kinda bad because i let you get me all of the time since you know the campus better, but i thought me coming here was the least i could do to save you some trouble."
she's just smiling.
and your roommates mouth is wide open
you're literally so shocked, and kinda embarrassed because you weren't ready whatsoever.
guess wakandans really dont be playing about being on time, chile.
"uh, um-- give me one second hahahah." you have the most awkward laugh its hilarious
and shuri is so sweet about it she just nods at you and lets you close the door.
the moment you close that door??? omfg, your roommate is on your ASS
"OH? SO YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TELLING ME? AND SHE'S LITERALLY THE PRIN--"
the way you hush her almost immediately, hoping and praying to god shuri didn't hear that.
she did.
"shut up! shes literally just my friend! i told her about the game tonight." your cheeks are on FIRE i mean you're so embarrassed.
your roommate doesnt believe that one bit LMFAO
"yeah okay... you better get out this dorm before i go and ask her how long y'all been dating."
you never walked faster out of there.
coming face to face with shuri again was.. awkward.
for you
but shuri seemed so unfazed by it
"hi! are you ready to go?" she's just grinning. when i tell yall she is EXCITED
"yeah! of course.. sorry about all of that."
"no worries. i understand it was a bit sudden."
god she was always SO understanding, it made you melt.
and of course, you two are off to the football field.
fast forward to when y'all are at the game
shuri is having a blast! somehow she managed to pick up how the game of football even works very quickly!
and then we get to half time...
oh my god, shuri is in a TRANCE.
them majorettes are making her ass FOLD
she was having a gay panic attack chile
all them pretty women out there in those outfits, doing dance moves that oozes pure grace and sexiness???
yeah shes done for
she also REALLY enjoys the band. they're playing songs she's never heard of before, but she's definitely asking you when y'all are walking home what exactly the band was playing LMFAOO
i like to think that during the football game she's getting attention she didn't realize she'd get
probably bc shes.. i dont know, THE PRINCESS OF WAKANDA???
but nonetheless, she's happily greeting people and carrying on like normal
and shes just having a blast with you
she's pretty sad when its all over 😭
time really flew by
and ofc, y'alls team won the football game.
some people were having parties after the game
but shuri wanted to take yet another walk instead
so y'all did
and this is where she shared all her thoughts
"that was so much fun!! i really think i'm gonna like it here. it kinda reminded me of wakanda a little bit." you could tell she was a tad bit home sick after mentioning her home country, but she brushed it off.
in order to distract her, y'all kept talking about the marching band and the music they played.
this is quite literally how she formed an entire taste of american music because she found out what songs were being played 😭
(btw, i think she has an obsession with michael jacksons music)
ugh if this was one of her fav experiences, just imagine homecoming for her!!!
this got to be a bit long, my bad 😭

Guarded Heart
Bucky Barnes x Reader
MobAu
Summary: Y/N is the daughter of a powerful mob boss who only cares about her horses and making it to the Olympics but her father expects her to marry an equally powerful boss to help strengthen his business. Bucky is looking for a wife to help his business but already has a long term girlfriend, Natasha.
Chapter 19
Notes: I've been struggling with this chapter after having the brilliant idea of reader suggesting she could be bait with no follow up or plan in my head. So I had to come up with something. Sometimes this 'fly by the seat of my pants' writing style bites me in that same seat. *shrugs* Iyam what Iyam.
A little basic but, yeah. Hope it doesn't suck.
"You should use me as bait."
"BAIT!!? Are you insane"
"Bait? Oh Hell no!"
"What? Not a chance"
"Y/N dear, I don't think that's a good idea"
Bucky, Sam and Steve all shouted at the same time. While George tried to stay calm and not escalate the tension in the car.
Sam almost lost control of the SUV.
Bucky shook his head, fists clenched "No. Absolutely not. No fucking way. What the Hell are you thinking? We are not putting you at risk. No."
George tried to be more diplomatic "Y/N, honey I understand wanting to handle this personally but there has to be a better way."
Y/N rolled her eyes "Don't you get it Bucky, I'm always at risk and I'd rather go down fighting than hiding and hoping it doesn't come to me..
Ok, so it's more like a distraction than bait. Zemo already said that I was what he wanted. I can play along, I know his weaknesses. Keep him distracted while the rest of you-"
Steve tried to reason with her "Come on, Y/N, think logically. You might be able to distract him but if he suspects anything you are in no shape for a real fight. You're still healing and when you are ready you'll have to relearn how to fight with and without a prosthetic. Plus you've been running on minimal sleep and food for days, your balance and strength will be off."
She scoffed "I don't need permission from any of you."
Bucky tried to keep himself from losing it "Why didn't you bring this up when we were all together working on a plan? Why wait until after we left?
Maybe because you know that Loki would never go for it. You knew every person there would have fought you. If they hadn't we would have taken that 4 hours of planning on a different strategy. There's no way to change the plan now, there are men already headed into the mountains. We would have problems contacting them to change everything so would be short on men to protect you at your house"
She raised an eyebrow "You think so? Loki's not in charge of me either. Y'all can try to stop me but I've made my mind up." She tried to soften her approach
"It's an old house and I grew up there. I know all the secret passages and how to get around quietly. And where my father hid weapons and how to engage his booby traps. He was always prepared for an attack. That's why he survived as long as he did." She choked back a sob.
Bucky shook his head "Look doll, I know that you are smart and very capable but this is too dangerous. You are not at your best and there's no way I can protect you if you let him get to you."
She scowled at him "I don't need you to protect me. I told you before, I'm not some shrinking violet who depends on a man.
Bluster all you like, it's all hot air to me."
Steve tried again, pleading "Y/N, please. Be reasonable. We are just trying to keep you safe."
"Keep me safe?" She spat at him "You men keep promising to keep me safe but none of you can. I'm the one who keeps losing in this bullshit game and I'm tired of trusting anyone else with my safety." She sat back "I'm going to do what I need to do to end this."
She paused and looked Bucky in the eyes, pleadingly "Look, I go to my house, alone. Well just me and Pietro since I can't really drive but anyways we get word out that you and I split again, I caught you with Yelena or something, and I went back home alone, in a fit, tired of hiding and being surrounded by guards. Zemo won't be able to resist, he always said my penchant for drama would come back on me so he gets to gloat when he thinks he has me. Pietro and I take him down and offer terms for his men.
I'm not stupid, I know I'm not in great shape but I can seduce him into letting his guard down." She softened "And if I fail it's only my life on the line not all of you."
The men were all speechless, struggling to come up with an argument that she would listen to but still had nothing when they arrived at the Barnes townhouse.
Y/N was out her door as soon as the SUV stopped and stomped her way up to Bucky's room.
Bucky tried to follow her but she locked the door so he tried knocking "Y/N, doll, please don't shut me out. I want to help if you'll let me."
"Go. Away."
"Please doll?"
She opened the door "are you willing to let me help get Zemo?"
Bucky shook his head "If we could wait till you were healthier, sure but not now. You wouldn't have a chance against him."
She stomped on the foot he wedged in the door, slammed and locked it before he dealt with the pain in his foot.
"Ouch! Dammit Y/N! Open this door!" He limped away "Fucking willful woman" and grumbled his way down the stairs, wondering when she put boots on.
When he arrived in the living room he sat on the couch, took his shoe off and rubbed his foot. He looked up when he heard laughter.
Steve couldn't help himself and tried to stop laughing which only made it worse. He sat next to him and slapped Bucky on the shoulder "I guess it didn't go so well, huh?" When Bucky didn't respond "You alright there punk?"
Bucky shoved him off the couch "Just peachy, jerk."
Y/N paced the room, infuriated by the Barnes men refusal to involve her in the takedown of Helmut Zemo.
She raged to herself about what stupid, sexist men they were, all while pushing down the voice that told her they were right. She knew she needed to heal physically and emotionally but didn't care anymore as long as she could punish those who had wronged her.
When she caught Zemo with that girl it broke her heart, she thought they had something real. Then he had to humiliate her on top of it but she chose, at the time to walk away from him instead of looking for revenge. Obviously that was a mistake since he teamed with her families enemies to try to take them down. They failed but had cost her so much she couldn't just sit here while the men went to take care of her problems.
After a while of pacing and swearing, trying to figure out how to get away from the Barnes and get to Zemo when something clicked. She smiled to herself, it was perfect and simple.
When Winnie called everyone to dinner Y/N came down and sat to eat next to Wanda and Pietro, quietly discussing something the others couldn't hear. When Winnie asked after her she told her she was just tired and angry at everything.
Y/N stood when she finished eating "I just want to apologize for my outburst earlier. I'm sick and tired and angry with no way to express it. I'm going up to relax with some music. Wanda can you help me change please?"
Wanda nodded and followed her upstairs. Pietro went up shortly after, promising to keep an eye on her.
At the table Bucky felt a little better but was still worried about her mental and physical health and promised himself he would take care of Zemo then take her on vacation if she would let him.
Everyone found a spot to try and catch a bit of sleep before the drive to the mountains.
When Bucky woke at 1am he started some coffee and went to take a cold shower to wake himself up. Realizing he needed clean clothes he headed for his room as quietly as possible and opened the door only to do a double take when he realized the bed and the room were empty. Then his brain caught up, Pietro and Wanda were gone as well. He swore
"Fuck." Then yelled "FUCK!" and started banging on doors to wake everyone up. Steve came out of his room rubbing his eyes "Hey jerk, its only 1, we have 2 more hours and-"
"Goddammit Steve, she's gone! Y/N left with Pietro and Wanda." Then his phone dinged, a text with blueprints for her house including everything she had mentioned. Bucky showed his phone to Steve.
Steve's eyes grew wide "Fuck.

Can I get an Erik Johnson with the prompts "Would you like to stay?" and "Because I fell for you, isn't it obvious." please.
900 CLUB
happy birthday to my fav horse loving king. i hope landy gives you a big smooch.
16. "would you like to stay?" 36. "because i fell for you, isn't it obvious?" (from this prompt list, fluff)
you had completely forgotten erik was coming over until he knocked on your door, "what're you doing here?" you asked, furrowing your brows together.
he raised a brow, "we were supposed to get lunch today." he checked his phone to make sure it was the right day.
"that was today?" you smacked a hand to your forehead as it all came to you, "crap, i'm sorry. i forgot."
"it's all good." he shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"i can't leave, i have a meeting in like 20 minutes, on zoom, but would you like to stay?"
"are you sure? i mean, we can do this another time."
"no, the meeting shouldn't take too long, so you can stay, then we can get some food after." you suggested.
"all right." he nodded, and you smiled, moving aside so he could enter. he walked in and walked straight into your kitchen to grab a drink.
you took your seat back at your table and waited for your meeting to start. erik fiddled around with his phone while he waited for you. you finally shut your computer about 45 minutes later and gave him a smile.
"so, what're you thinking?"
"whatever you want is fine."
"fine, just don't get mad when i pick something that you don't like." you grabbed your keys and headed for the door, erik following after you.
as it turned out, you picked a restaurant that he wasn't too fond of, "here? really?"
"you said you were fine with whatever, and i want a chicken sandwich."
"fine." he groaned, getting out of the door and walking into the restaurant like a whiny toddler.
yu ordered your food and talked and caught up, "so, you coming to the game on tuesday?"
"i don't know. got some errands i need to run, so we'll see."
"let me know,"
"aye-eye, captain." you saluted him with a smile.
a few days later, you were running your errands, all of which were a surprise for erik. he was set to play a big milestone game, so you were planning a little celebration after.
everyone but erik was aware of the party, so they were all in on the surprise. the little celebration was set to happen at the family suite. you got streamers, a banner, huge cutouts of erik's rookie headshot, and of course, shirts with a funny photo you had of him drunk.
you drove around, handing out the shirts so all the guys and girls had the shirts. and you made sure to send him a text that read "congrats on 900, king!" and a bunch of heart emojis and a couple others that he would understand.
you watched the game from the family suite, rocking your drunk erik shirt. he had yet to see your shirt, but he knew you were there. after the game, everyone made it up to the suite, the only person you were waiting for was erik.
"wow, this is really good." landy complimented as he finally got a chance to greet you.
"thank you. do you think it's too much?"
"i think it's perfect," he reassured.
a security guard led him up to the suite, and when he got there, he was greeted by everyone shouting "congrats!"
he nearly jumped out of his skin, but let out a laugh and covered his mouth in shock as he took in all the decorations, "wow, thank you." he started hugging people as he looked around.
he finally noticed the shirts, and sighed, "i know who did this." his eyes danced around the room before they landed on you, "you."
"surprise." you shrugged.
"we agreed that this picture would never see the light of day."
"well, you talked and i listened." you corrected.
he groaned, "you're crazy." he pulled you in for a hug.
the party was in full effect after that. drinks were flowing, music was blasting, and erik was having a lot of fun, "you know, you guys didn't have to do this. i would've been fine with like, a cake, or something."
"yeah, we know that, which is why we didn't plan this." gabe responded.
"then who did?"
"who else, dude?" mikko asked, nodding his head in your direction where you were talking with a couple of the girls.
"y/n did this?"
"of course she did." erik was too shocked to say anything, so nathan shoved him in your direction. you looked over when you saw him making his way over to you and smiled.
"you having fun, mr. 900?"
"tons." he nodded, "can i talk to you for a second?"
"sure." you set your drink down and followed him into the hallway, "so, what's up?"
"you did this? the party and the shirts. and the banners and the cutouts of my head?"
"well, yeah. i knew you wouldn't say you wanted a party, so i decided to do it anyway," you answered.
"why?"
"what? do you not like it?" you felt the panic bubble forming in your stomach.
"no, no, i love it." he reassured, "it's just, why? you didn't have to do anything. a cake would have been fine."
"i know, but i wanted to do something special." you shrugged, looking down at your feet.
"why?" he repeated.
"because i fell for you, isn't it obvious?" you finally blurted out. you watched erik's face change about 20 times, and that worried you because he didn't say a thing, "erik?" you asked after about a minute of him just staring at you like a fish.
"you... like me?"
"like? love? however you want to prhase it."
"why didn't you say anything?"
"because i didn't want to ruin anything."
"you didn't want to ruin anything? i didn't want to ruin anything.''
"what do you mean?"
"like? love? i feel it all for you, silly." now it was your turn to gape at him like a fish.
"are you serious?"
"if anyone else had printed me drunk on a shirt, we'd have a problem."
you let out a breathy chuckle, "we're really stupid, aren't we?"
"just a little." he nodded. you loped your arms around his neck and pulled him down to meet your lips.
"if we had just admitted a little earlier, we could've been doing this instead of pretending to enjoy those crappy chicken sandwiches."
"hey! i actually like them!" you hit him in the chest.
"no, you don't."
you pouted, "...the chicken is a little dry."
"that's what i've been trying to tell you!"
taylor's 2.5k celly!
this is a celly blurb, but it was the perfect time to write ot. so, happy birthday to my favorite guy ever (he shares this spot with about 10000+ other guys lol). you are so slay king *muah*

iirc i never posted about this but. it's on my mind rn.
okay so. i'm FTM, yeah? and by some metrics i am a "late bloomer" in that i didn't begin my transition until i was an adult. and also, i am effeminate. i've never really been a Masculine person.
growing up, i had access to my older siblings video games. and then whatever my parents got me for birthdays and holidays. which tended to be games that were marketed towards girls. i'm talking your barbie games, your horse games, your nintendogs.
and when the internet began to develop central hubs for flashgames that weren't just insensitive jokes and pro iraq war propaganda, i always gravitated towards the "girly games." usually dress ups.
and as i kid i never wanted, say, nerf guns or toy soldiers. i think the most masc interest i had was rewatching the same power rangers episode on VHS over and over.
so i never got into War Games. i never got into Male Power Fantasy. i was playing harvest moon. i was playing pokemon for the cute critters. i played TF2 i guess? but that was about it.
and i feel like. my experiences as a Man Who Plays Video Games is very different from other Men Who Play Video Games. i will watch streamers on twitch and they'll gleefully reference something from their childhood that i have no frame of reference for.
there's a disconnect there. what feels like, to me, a Central Lore that i am missing. and it can be very alienating sometimes. like i'm not Allowed into the Boys Club because i was playing with virtual dolls instead of virtual guns
and that, as an adult, i still tend to skew in the direction of cute games/dress up games instead of like. fighting games and FPS and RTS
so.... ya. this is a post for Girly Gamers. love u

Ellie x Reader, where Ellie and the Reader go on a new patrol route, and they find a special spot where they share their first kiss.
━ 𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄
Tumblr media
𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜(𝙨) - Ellie Williams x G/N!Reader 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 - Cursing, Best friends to lovers, fluff, slight angst if you squint
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 ? - Yeah?/Nope
𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 - Sorry this took so long, but such a cute idea!
Tumblr media
You and Ellie had a very complicated relationship. Friends. Friends. A strange word that seemed to have a very fine line for you and the green eyed girl.
You had slept beside each other since before Jackson. Finding comfort in someone your own age, someone who needed a friend just as much as you did. Sleepovers were your thing but lately you'd been avoiding her, being that close to her.
You couldn't do it, not after the last time, nearly a week ago. Waking up beside her, facing her, the girl staring at you as soon as you opened your eyes. Laughing it off, just saying that you had been talking in your sleep, it was nothing to her, just a friendship like it should have been for you. But it wasn't, It made you feel things that you shouldn't feel for your best friend. It made you feel sick. Sick in a good way. Sick in love. And you couldn't bring yourself to say a word.
Ellie was the only best friend or really friend you'd ever had. Having survived through a lot of shit together. Maybe that's what made you so close, but you couldn't help the pit that grew in your stomach every time she smiled at you. The feeling of wanting to explode when she'd touch you or stare at you while you spoke. Focused, listening to every word.
God, you were in love with your best friend. And telling her could ruin everything.
"Boo." You jumped, whipping around only to see a smiling Ellie. "Sorry, you just looked so focused." She laughed, looking at your face as you shook your head. "You asshole." "Hey, c'mon, what’s been with you lately?" You looked at her confused, climbing up onto your horse as she brought hers out from the stables. "What do you mean?"
You knew exactly what she meant, avoiding her offers to hangout alone at her house. Just you two, sleepovers and movie nights had been on pause. Along with just hanging out, playing video games or talking had completely stopped as you had always said no. And now she was realizing it.
"I mean, you've been avoiding me." "No I haven't." You said almost a bit too quickly, looking away from her eyes as she climbed up onto Shimmer’s back. "Oh yeah?" You didn't look at her, beginning to guide your horse to leave as they opened the gates for you both. "Yeah, you're delusional." You spoke sarcastically, the girl slightly behind you as you rode towards your trail.
"Oh hey, when we get up to the old gas station I want to show you something." "What?" "When me and Dina were over here we found it." You looked forward again, the mention of Dina having made your chest tighten. "Yeah, yeah okay." You nodded, staring forward but your mind was far, far away thinking of other things.
Ellie seemed to notice. "Seriously though, what's with you ignoring me?" You looked at her, hurt clear in those pretty eyes of hers. But that was exactly your problem. "Sorry, I've just been having a rough time." "Why didn't you-" "Because I just wanted to be alone." You snapped, taking in a deep breath.
A flash of hurt spread across her face before Ellie finally went silent. Looking down at her hands for a second before looking off into the distance.
"I'm sorry, Ells." "It's okay." She shook it off, not meeting your eyes. "No, seriously I... I didn't mean to snap at you. I just... I can't tell you." "What is it?" You shook your head, smiling. "It's a secret."
Ellie only scoffed though, biting back a grin while looking at you. "I tell you everything!" "You do not! Remember that time you didn't tell me you lost my favorite stuffed b-" "Alright I get it." She cut you off, her eyes watching you as you laughed, a wide smile on your face.
"I still don't understand how you did that." "I still feel bad about it." You looked at her, staring back at you. "It's okay. That stuffed giraffe you got me made up for it." You blushed at the memory, sixteen year-old Ellie handing you the present for your birthday, red in the face as Dina teased her.
Best friends, right?
"Hey, we're here." You looked forward, a bunch of trees to the right of you guys. The direction that Ellie was looking. "That's the woods El." "I know." You were right beside the old gas station, a small trail, almost invisible, leading into the woods.
"I'm sorry I ignored you, please, I'm too young to die." She laughed, getting off of Shimmer and tying her to the old pump as you slid off your own horse. "I'm not gonna murder you, yet." You giggled, standing at the edge of the woods, looking at your breath as you blew out hot air shivering in the cold.
"Just hurry up, it's freezing." "You could tie your own horse." "You do it better." You muttered, rubbing your arms while she finally walked over to you. "Come on, promise it's worth it." "Alright." She walked forward, almost waiting for you to grab her hand like usual. Fear of being lost in the woods plaguing you like a nightmare.
She always laughed at it, but still held your hand on patrols when walking through the trees. But you didn't grab it, walking by her side, looking around at the dead trees surrounding you mixed with the large pines.
"So, where is my shallow grave going to be?" "Oh shut it." It was quick, but soon the woods opened up to a snowy, sandy opening, ribbons laying about as evidence of what you soon assumed to be an old birthday party.
Withered streamers and ribbons laying about a few old picnic tables. You looked around, the bright light mixed with snow making the scene almost magical, especially the colorful ribbons falling from the branches.
In front of it all though was a small frozen lake, one you'd seen on a map before. But you'd never been. Your mouth had fallen open slightly, looking around at everything, eyes sparkling against the sunlight while Ellie watched it all.
A tiny smile on her face while watching you spin around to see it all. Stumbling on the mounds of snow causing her to grab your arm, keeping you upright.
"This is so cool, how did you guys find it?" "A few streamers were caught on the bushes out there. We walked the trail. Knew the lake was up here, but not that." She nodded to the ribbons all around, your head tilting back to look up at the trees.
"She told me I should bring you here." You looked back down to Ellie, not realizing how close you two were standing as you nodded. "It's so pretty. Especially the lake and the trees." "Right?" You were oblivious to her, looking at the lake surrounded by pine trees, covered in a thin layer of snow.
But her eyes were on you, and so were her hands, never leaving your upper arms. When you looked back at her, for the first time the girl didn't get nervous and look away. Or laugh it off and make up some stupid excuse to why she was staring at you.
"I'm sorry I've been blowing you off." You said quietly, knocking her from her thoughts. "You have to make it up to me." "Oh really? How?" You stared at her, tilting your head a bit while she shrugged, looking away for a moment. "Close your eyes." "Ellie-" "Do it, I'm the one ignored, I get to make it up how I want."
You huffed, but closed your eyes nonetheless. Silence. Just for a second, only Ellie's breathing along with yours could be heard. No footsteps, no movement.
"I swear if you throw a snowball at-" Her lips suddenly pressed against yours, shutting you up. Her lips were chapped, something you always scolded her for when you'd see her lick them. Her hands moved down to your waist, pulling you closer as your hands moved to her face. She smiled as you kissed back, pulling away from you, looking into your eyes.
A smile on your face that beamed brighter than the sunlight reflecting off the snow around you.
"You know, I can tell you the secret now." "Really?" You nodded, kissing her again, deep but quick. Pulling away as butterflies flew around violently in your stomach.
"I think I'm in love with you."
