Can you do a male chief ,Zoya,bai yi romantic headcanons?
thank you for the req!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫 im sorry abt bai yi,,, i got possessed . anyway
⛓️🐺🏍️
Tumblr media
⚜ When asked, Chief will insist that romance isn’t a high priority for him. Unfortunately, it’s very easy to charm him.
⚜ He’s got a huge heart and can understand a sense of you even without you opening up to him.
⚜ Everyone at MBCC knows that he shows his affection through actions not words, often before he can catch them.
⚜ Things like dropping everything to come fix your collar when he passes you in the hall, or cupping your neck to check you over after you come home from a mission, etc.
⚜ Even when he’s in a rush, he’ll still spare a few seconds to straighten out your sleeve or ruffle your hair.
⚜ He flusters a lot of Sinners by doing this but it’s in his nature to be a bit of a mother hen.
⚜ He’s always been careful about throwing around the words “I love you,” especially around Sinners who internalize every little thing. But he starts using them with you.
⚜ Often gets headaches as a result of using the Shackles. He likes it when you weave your fingers through his hair or massage his temples.
⚜ He’d never admit it, but he has a notebook with your name scribbled around his notes. They’re just mindless doodles to pass time during long phone calls, but he still always defaults to you.
Tumblr media
⚜ Zoya isn’t always aware of her own strength, especially since she lets herself relax around you. She can be handsy and aggressive.
⚜ The type to stop you from leaving a room too soon, tell you that you “forgot something,” then gesture to her lips with a waiting smirk.
⚜ It’s impossible to overwork yourself around her. She can read you like a book. She’ll come to wrap her arms around your waist, feigning curiosity in whatever you’re working on... then sweep you up and carry you away.
⚜ Most of her date ideas can hardly classify as dates. You’ve learned that when she offers to “take you for a spin”, she means it literally.
⚜ A perfect night, to her, is getting to share some light banter under the stars or next to a fire.
⚜ While she’s not outwardly possessive, your honor is something Zoya doesn’t compromise on. She defends you with so much fury that most people have established you to be her property.
⚜ She can sleep off most injuries, but finds it cute if you fuss over them. She’ll let you treat them for her as she tells you stories about her scars.
⚜ Comes to you whenever she needs to blow off steam. One look at you, or one moment in your arms acts like a magic switch to ease her mind.
Tumblr media
⚜ Bai Yi is the type who can only be found when she wants to be. She often appears in your life unexpectedly, but every second with her is a memorable one.
⚜ She often slumps her head on your shoulder to vent about nonsense like Che and K.K.’s antics or having a bad hair day.
⚜ Her weariness does feel real. She just covers up what’s really weighing on her with trivial things.
⚜ She calls you her lucky charm. It starts as a meaningless flirty nickname and eventually comes from a place of love. Every kiss from you fuels her to keep working.
⚜ Seductive in everything she does, including when she needs to shake you off her tracks. This kicks up a notch after you start dating.
⚜ “Chief, wanna see a trick?” — dangerous words from a dangerous Sinner. If you say yes, Bai Yi instructs you to hold out your wrists while she ties them together.
⚜ Suspicious. But you’re still curious to see where she’s going with this. She dips her head under your arms, resting your bound hands behind her neck ... and you realize you’ve been lifted up against the wall.
⚜ Helplessly you wrap your legs around her as to not slip. The last thing you remember is her leaning into your ear: “You’re just so adorable, I might lose track of time.”
⚜ That incident leaves you too winded to remember what happens afterwards. Where did she go? What was the trick??

You want request?
Can I get uhhhh PtN Cinnabar (and/or Zoya) with a fem!chief (or gn) who is insecure about their body weight?
Zoya with sinner fem!reader who is insecure about their body weight.
parings : Zoya x sinner fem!reader
requested? : yup
warning(s) : talking about body insecurity, i might have not talked about it well in this fic, might be ooc zoya
uh hey there, thanks for the request! I decided to make reader a sinner since I would like to make chief her own character. I also only picked Zoya since I do not know much about Cinnabar yet. I hope that is okay.
also, please do tell me if i wrote anything wrong with this. making fics with these kinds of topics is really hard for me.
The monthly check up, the moment you don’t really like. It's where the MBCC would conduct a routine check up for all of the sinners to see if something is wrong. This monthly routine check up is mostly for sinners but staff get check ups too.
You are a sinner that has been arrested by the MBCC and unlike sinners who resisted, you did not. You are going to be locked up forever and be “used” by the chief sure, but at least the food is free and there is a not so comfy bed to sleep on. There are so many of these “routines” that the bureau conducts, one of them is this medical check up. This was no problem to you at the start, you actually wanted to know if something is wrong with you and is always compliant but as of the recent ones however, you started to feel nervous about this, anxious even. It's not like the doctors and staff abuse you, it's just that recently, you’re starting to feel a little insecure about yourself, especially with your body and weight. You guessed that being locked up alongside these beautiful sinners with amazing bodies made you like this.
Your girlfriend, Zoya, the commander of the Legion, has started to notice this. You no longer wear your usual outfit that shows your skin, you now wear sweaters and long sleeved clothes which is not a problem to Zoya, she finds you really adorable in these actually. Her only problem was, it gets very very hot in the bureau, especially in the afternoon when you and her would go to the outdoors area to hang out. Zoya noticed right away what the cause was and she was determined to let you know that you shouldn't be thinking about those things. 
At the moment, you were waiting in line for the check up, you tried hiding your anxiousness. You tried not to think about the doctors weighing you or only being in your undies while they check up on you.
Oh god, please make this stop-
Your thoughts were interrupted when you felt someone pull you away and lead you to a room. Looking up, you saw that it was your girlfriend.
“Zoya? Why are we here?” Your body acted into its own accord, hugging Zoya to calm yourself down. Your girlfriend could feel how much you were shaking and instantly wrapped her arms around you.
“I saw you were having a hard time there, is everything okay?” Zoya asked you as gently as she could, knowing that this topic is sensitive to anyone who is going through this. Your girlfriend does not want to force you into telling her what’s wrong, but you can see from the way she looks at you that she already knows your trouble.
“I’m just…I just don’t feel…good?” You tried to tell her vaguely, hoping that she would get it immediately. Zoya pulled away from the hug, looking into your eyes.
“Babe, it's okay, you can tell me and if you don’t want to, that’s also okay. I just want to help you in any way I can.”
Closing your eyes with a deep breath, you released it all to Zoya. How you don’t feel confident in yourself and in your body anymore, how you think you’re so heavy and that you need to lose weight, everything. You told Zoya everything while she listened, wiping your tears from time to time.
When you were finished, you two just stood there, arms wrapped around each other.
“Look and listen to me, you are beautiful. You always have been. There’s nothing wrong with having a little weight, you know? Believe me when I say you’re so fucking hot. I mean, have you seen some of those sinners who look at you?” You chuckled, wiping your tears as you remember those moments when random sinners would flirt with you, making Zoya annoyed that she would always let them know that you are hers and hers only.
“I’m not really good at these, but what I’m saying is, there’s nothing wrong with you. You are perfectly fine, perfectly healthy and…perfectly beautiful.”
“Thank you Zoya and I’m sorry that I only told you about this now.”
“There’s no need to apologise, but know that I am always here, okay? Now let’s go for your check up. If you want, I can come with you during your turn.”
It took you a couple of seconds to reply, not believing that a violent person like Zoya could be so gentle with you. You grabbed her cheeks, placing a soft kiss on it.
“I would love that.”

Valentine's Day Special
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Characters; Zoya, Countess Chelsea, Cinnabar, Wendy, Nightingale
TW; Fluff and hints at smut
Notes; Happy Valentine's!!
Tumblr media
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Zoya
When Valentine's day comes Zoya will take the day off to spend the day with her S/o she won't tolerate any calls from the Legion or the MBCC, because she wants to be with S/o for a day without fighting anyone or anything just a day full of love
She has a whole day planned first thing she does is make breakfast in bed with heart pancakes, a bike ride through the city, then at night out head to the country side where she set up a picnic next to a lake
And during the whole night as she and S/o snuggle on the blanket she can't help but admire them as they gaze at the stars above them, when she's caught staring at them she just smoothers them in kisses
Afterwards when at home she'll draw out a warm bath with candles, oil and rose petals making it look like it came out of a movie, Zoya will help S/o out of their clothes and help them relax via massaging their body or help release tension in more ways then one
Countess Chelsea
She uses Valentine's Day as an excuses to spend a whole lot of money on her S/o not taking any no because and her words "It's the day of love and I want to show how much I adore you!"
Countess will buy out a whole restaurant for the day it doesn't matter if people had reservations she wants to pamper S/o, but will comply to S/o when they told to her to let other plan dine here because it's unfair to them
Buys even more experience gifts that S/o has or had laid their eyes from clothes to figures, posters, games or machines no matter what it is, she'll straight up buy it right away out of love of course
But at the end of the day when they return home Chelsea will become bashful as she grabs something from her drawer, holding a black box as she runs her thumb on the cover until she gives it to S/o. Opening the box to reveal a handmade ring with a pink sapphire in the center with red diamonds around it
Cinnabar
Cinnabar hasn't had much time to celebrate the day of love with anyone for quite a while but never the less she'll try her best, much like Zoya will take the day off to spend the day with S/o but might take a call or two to much sure everythings alright
First thing she does when wake ups snuggle closer to S/o and kiss their shoulder whispering in their ear a good morning love, spending a few minutes in bed with them until she decides to make breakfast
Then for the rest of day Cinnabar will do everything her S/o will ask of her she's treating them like royalty for the day; massage their feet? As you wish. Make them a croissant? Done. Buy them tea? Here you go.
When night falls Cinnabar will carry them up to their bedroom getting them out of their clothes, so that she can show them how much she loves them. And when she's done she'll hold them close as she kisses their bitten and bruised skin until they fell asleep
Wendy
She never really got to the spend holiday since she and the other undertakers had to deal the mania and Corruptors, so when S/o mentioned the day she didn't know how to celebrate it
Luckily for her Wendy spends the day going around the city as S/o shows and teaches her what the holiday is like, giving her everything heart shaped and candy as well as the many gifts that came with it. Much to her confusion since some of the things have a big difference in her life as an undertaker
As soon as she understands it Wendy will go out and find anything to show her love in all even getting things that she thinks is a form of love, then she'll use her chainsaw to crave a heart out of wood since she's pretty at it
But at the end of the day she'll lay on S/o's chest on the couch as they watch a horror movie together feeding other popcorn, laughing at the misfortune of the characters towards the end of the film S/o finding themselves tangled in her arms with no escape and having no choice to cuddle her
Nightingale
She doesn't get to celebrate the holiday as much as she likes to but deicide to take two days off to spend it with her S/o making up for her late night works, but unfortunately when the day comes she slept in messing up her plans today
But thankful her S/o planned ahead and got a reservations at their favorite restaurant and telling her that today they'll take care of her today, making sure that the day is all about her and that the Bureau knows that she needs to take a break (Thankfully the Chief understands and babysits for the next days)
Then afterwards they have a walk through the city arms locked in with each other talking about anything that comes to mind, occasionally stopping to admire/watch something such as musicians or street entertainer and stopped by every flower cart giving her a rose
When they come home NG is lead to their backyard where she's surprised with an outdoor movie theater and picnic (set up by the Chief and Sinners) as the projector plays her favorite movie as they night rolls on, Night finds herself settled on their chest as they played with her hair and soon enough felling asleep as S/o wraps a blanket around her

older cat villain! reader just looks like zoya from ‘path to nowhere’ in my head (except more gender neutral so no boobies) or at least has the same vibe as her
might add her outfit to cv! reader alternate looks
pictures of zoya for reference
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i have an old fanart of her too i remember, drawn around the same time i drew till from alien stage
god i miss ptn. might get back to it soon.
reminder that cv! reader looks however you like, this is just how i imagine them/my interpretation
now that i think about it this look can also work with a cv! reader who actually didn’t get help after jason died or has let go of their morals just to kill joker. like full on yan! reader x jason like they became a mafia/crime boss
readercest/selfcest looking so tempting rn

I can’t be the only one who thinks Path to Nowhere women, ESPECIALLY Zoya— are just a bunch of Lesbians and only for women romantically. Like there’s just very specific characters that you cannot imagine being with men at all.

References in Path to Nowhere
And no I don’t mean the funny references like Joan has to Radiohead’s “Creep” or her reference to Nirvana, no—I mean the constant mythology and religion references I see around me when all I was trying to look for was fanfiction of Cinnabar. It seems like I find lore in the weirdest of ways possible. I have been noticing a pattern- with path to nowhere always going back to mythology and religion for their use of story telling and world building. Whether that be for the overarching plot or small details in characters. 
I shall name each one I find in relations to each other.
Do note that this might contain some spoilers of the chapters.
1. Paradise, Purgatory, Inferno
One of the main themes I see repetition in this game is the use of Paradise, Purgatory, and Inferno. This brings me back to Dante’s Inferno; where our first note is that the circles of hell are direct copies to the “sins” sinners in the game commit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are parallels to one another- as some characters commit acts that would go towards their character motive. To start with- why are they even considered sinners? Of course; they’ve committed “sins”, wrongdoings. But why not prisoners? As that’s what sort of happens once you find them- locked up in a high security place being monitored (although they would be considered having it better due to being allowed to go out as we see in activity checks and “security” in the base).
The most I can think about is the world here being compared to Paradise, Purgatory, and Inferno.to Inferno, the closest I can consider is the MBCC. Locking up sinners in one area? Sounds like the circles of hell. Purgatory is usually defined as a place between life and death, or for heaven and hell for some others. But what would be considered Paradise? Eastside is beautiful and is mostly safe, but it’s still prone to outbreaks and mania as we see in the Dreamy Bubble event. One place that is parallel to Paradise is Paradeisos.
Tumblr media
At the end of the current chapter for global; we see Langley talking about how she needed to get back to Paradeisos to file a report. It sounds very similar to Paradise, just enough for me to become curious. 
And not only do we have that detail pertaining a place in relation to demonology; I saw an image from the Japanese account obviously showing Enfer, but something else as well. 
Tumblr media
‘Belphegor’ is the name of a demon in demonology; Peter Binsfeld’s classifications of demons puts the demon Belphegor in a sloth- which while it isn’t a sin that is punished for in Inferno it is punished for in Purgatory in ‘Dante’s Purgatorio’.
2. Characters to Mythology
Characters also play a big role in this- as there is either references in their names, designs, or how they are in the story. While not a lot of characters have this type of reference the ones that do I find pretty interesting.
Cinnabar is one of the first ones I noticed; as me and my friend were gushing over her they noticed something written on her choker. That something being ‘Persephone’. 
Tumblr media
Someone had an idea saying that from the others perspective, Cinnabar was essentially taken by the MBCC. Alyosha doesn’t like the fact that she is essentially confined there- where she doesn’t belong. Yet Cinnabar states that she doesn’t mind being there with the chief. Honestly this was really neat on the side of the design team. 
EmpressThings on twitter had spoken on how Zoya is Fenrir, a wolf in Norse mythology. Stating that she had Norse runes on her arms, always had motifs with wolves (as even her surveillance order outfit had wolves in them). She was also shackled by the chief, which parallels the Norse mythology of Fenrir.
Delving on that more, an imagine blog expanded on the idea saying how Hecate is based off of the goddess Hecate who presided over spells and magic, which would make sense as her job is Arcane and her damage type is magical. 
Tumblr media
That blog also mentions how Hella is closely named after the goddess of death in Norse mythology, Hel. Hel’s name could also be known as Hela from the glancing over google I did for this, and was given a nickname “The Two-Faced Terror” (if this is incorrect dont @ me). While not much about Hel and Hella are parallels to each other, the nickname could probably be one thing, as when we first meet her she acts sweet to be let out only to want us dead.
Tumblr media
And the last real obvious one; the Chief. Lucifer could be the best reference to this character. Lucifer is an angel that fell out of grace with heaven and became a fallen angel. In the very beginning of the game we see Suspect R wake up the Chief.
Tumblr media
The contrasting composition of this is the bed and the light blue. Like someone is dragging the Chief to hell by waking them (just my assumption), as at first we hear a nice lullaby and then to blaring alarms. This and also the way it’s known that the Chief has control over sinners with shackles. This plot point is a main driving factor in the whole story.
One last detail I noticed was the MBCC itself; Minos Bureau of Crisis Control.  Minos in mythology was made to judge over the dead in Hades. Or better yet in this game, MBCC watches over sinners. 
That is all i’ve really found after my 4 hours of researching for this. The writers and designs for this game are on that good shit with how much detail is put into the world and characters.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO EXO COSMIA, MAKI ZENIN. 🌑
Tumblr media
ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;
name / alias: clara age: 31 pronouns: any pronouns ooc contact: twt @ blackring004 other characters in xc: zoya (path to nowhere), marcille donato (dungeon meshi), hella (path to nowhere)
ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;
name: maki zenin age: 17 pronouns: she/her series: jujutsu kaisen canon point: chapter 253 app triggers: child abuse / misogyny / burning up alive / burn scars / patricide / matricide / mass murder / war crimes. despite all that would you believe me if i told you she's done nothing wrong?
personality:
DILIGENT: an exceptionally devoted individual with a clear sense of purpose, driven to better herself in order to defy the fate and lack of expectations imposed to her by others. the combination of her resolute nature is essential to fulfill her desire to escape from the failure stigma imposed upon her by her clan. more than anything, she wants to prove herself capable, not to anyone else, but to herself. and when it comes to her own set of rules,  there's very little that can distract and detract maki from her goals. CARING: despite her serious and unapproachable facade, there's no denying a softer maki lays underneath the mask. she's not a person of many friends, but the few she's got are the ones she's willing to do the imaginable for. however, chances of her admitting to that are slim. BITES BACK:  her upbringing has taught that if she doesn't fight for herself, nobody will. so she resists silent suffering and defends herself when her buttons are pushed. UPTIGHT: because nobody gave her the light of the day, and actively treated her like a second class citizen, maki tends to take herself way too seriously. SPITEFUL: tied in with her diligence, maki is just as strong as her spite. luckily, she's got plenty of that to go around.
something your muse struggles with: treating herself like a human being. your muse’s greatest strength: choosing to be kind despite the horrors.
history / background:
in this world, twins are viewed as a single entity— their souls their fates intertwined in conflict and struggle. maki, with little to no cursed energy, and mai, whose meager cursed energy could barely be used. in the unforgiving eyes of their clan, they are mere burdens, unworthy of respect.
a life of constant humiliation and cruelty at the hands of her clan didn't stop maki from harnessing what was deemed to be her curse, constantly building and pushing herself to prove her worth. effort or not, she was still viewed as a disgrace dragging the clan's name into the mud, a reflection of someone they despised and treated with the same scorn.
some strive for the sake of improvement or stability, but for maki, what pushed her forward was pure spite. despite the clan's opposition and disdain and every status against her (a woman, twin, and no cursed energy),  she used the clan's name and joined jujutsu high to hone her abilities and fight the uphill battle that it was to prove herself and become a sorcerer.
in the process of forging herself anew, maki turned her back on the only one who was there with her from the beginning. her desire to prove the zenin clan wrong forced mai, who was willing to live a life of servitude, to become a sorcerer by the laws of twins. mai's harbored resentment poisoned their relationship, turning it into a hostile dynamic— maki never wished this as an outcome of her decision. her biggest mistake, as she came to realize, was believing that she understood pain intrinsically. that, until she experienced hatred from the hand that was holding hers through the same path they had threaded together so many years.
( what an unkind world they were born into. )
seeking the weapons to craft a better world for her sister, she set foot into the clan with the understanding that tragedy would unfold regardless of whose story took center stage.
humbled down by her father, she and mai find themselves dragged and tossed into the clan's catacombs with curses ready to devour them.
it is when they're left to die that mai peels the resentment mask used to conceal her intricate emotions—maki's departure, her perceived betrayal, and mai's sincere longing for a quiet and peaceful existence, they're all laid bare for maki to understand and, in her final moments, mai decides to take with her what's holding maki from being fully realized: the little cursed energy tethering her. a simple request echoes:
" destroy everything, big sister. "
and so, with a new blade in hand, she does just that.
powers / abilities: n/a
inherent abilities:
HEAVENLY RESTRICTION— prevents the individual from using or sensing cursed energy and jujutsu, but for those who fully embrace this limitation, it grants them an incredible compensation: a body as hard as steel and exceptional physical abilities.
ZERO CURSED ENERGY— to have no cursed energy means one can't abide by the laws of jujutsu, its lack making the world parse the individual as an inanimate object. this makes it impossible to trap maki within domain expansion techniques, unless she voluntarily enters it.
INANIMATE SOUL AWARENESS— maki's attunement with the world has become so finely tuned that she can perceive the inner workings of inorganic matter and discern their cores. additionally, she possesses the ability to grasp otherwise imperceptible shifts in air density and temperature, further enhancing her formidable capabilities. SUPERHUMAN POTENTIAL— at the cost of using jujutsu, maki's completed heavenly restriction gives her superhuman physique and abilities.
ENHANCED STRENGTH— i don’t know what to tell you, she’s so strong you don’t want to throw hands with her. at the moment, she’s said to have surpassed toji fushiguro in every possible regard, so do with that what you will. she's also flipped sukuna like a pancake with one arm, liiiike…
ENHANCED SPEED— she's fast as fuck my girl can keep up with special grade curses like no sweat. this is possible thanks to her fully realized heavenly restriction.
REGENERATION— she can easily recover from serious wounds within a couple of minutes. even before her fully realized heavenly restriction was complete, this passive ability is what saved her from getting burned to death in shibuya.
items / weapons:
SPLIT SOUL KATANA— this sword, a cherished keepsake given to her by mai before their merging, serves as a tangible link to their past. it possesses the power to bypass physical barriers, targeting the very essence of its victims. its full potential can only be unlocked by those capable of perceiving the souls of non-living objects.
DRAGON-BONE—  this blade can store both physical and cursed energy, enabling the user to control and release them as they wish through the blade's reverse side, according to their will.
starting ability: heavenly restriction starting item: split soul katana extra:
maki’s suffered more than toji solely for being a woman alone. the zenin clan is so misogynist it was absolutely awful in there. this is a naoya hatezone btw. if you even care.
also she's surpassed him ok ? don't wanna hear otherwise.
idk if i made it obvious enough but i’m 100% a maki apologist. i think she do whatever she wants forever and will never be wrong for it ok? “she’s a war criminal” wow god forbid women seek catharsis through revenge....
discord id: clansbane passcode: maki ilu welcome back

i hope you enjoy path to nowhere it's full of hot and powerful women >:D
the way that game has me on chokehold lmao i'm down bad for ptn women AND i absolutely love the character designs MY GOD
it's refreshing to see a game that really caters to sapphics, not just some bait. the most popular ships are centered around the fem!chief and other women cast.
also, who's your favorite so far??
Oughhghfmm the women in this game my god……….
I’m almost done with chapter/file 2 and my god does it feel like I’m the target audience. I tend to get bored with a lot of gacha games but the story is actually holding my attention pretty well and I’m excited to keep playing!
As for my favorites, I really like Hella’s role in the story and I’ve been able to do an interrogation and liked her character even more when I got to her backstory (kind of Edelgard coded ??). She’s my favorite in terms of what I’ve gotten from the story so far, and I imagine I’ll like even more characters once I progress further and actually get to see some of them beyond just their design. I also think that Cheif’s characterization has been executed well as of where I am now; all of the choices you get to make feel like they could come from the same person, so I really like her too!
Design alone, Zoya makes me feel things and is half the reason I got the game in the first place, so I’m excited to get to where she has a more important role in the story. I’ve also been trying really hard to pull for Raven right now because of the Poe reference (obligatory as an English major)
Overall the designs go so hard and I can’t wait to make some art for this game eventually >:)
I appreciate the ask!!!

The Problem With Light
a/n i literally did not mean to write this, i was working on requests and then my mind was like ‘remember that lowkey love triangle kaz brekker x reader x darkling thing you always say you're going to write’ so yeah,, here we are :)),, two longer fics are coming!! 
Summary: Kaz changes his plans after meeting the Sun Summoner and Kirigan teeters on a line the reader isn’t sure she wants. 
-- 
Chapter One: The Conflicts of Prayer 
--
Narrator. 
--
Kaz knows a lot about patience. He knows how to bear the weight that the passage of time thrusts onto one's shoulder. He knows how to cultivate the seeds that he sews. If he wasn’t like this he’d stand no chance at one day avenging the ghost that refuses to leave him. 
But Jesper is almost an hour late. Kaz has been standing in a dimly hit branch of a relatively important hallway in the Little Palace. Jesper was supposed to come while in disguise to bring Kaz his new disguise and his newly repaired cane. Kaz’s hand flexes again, wishing he could feel the detailed head of one of his few comforts beneath the broken-in leather of his gloves. A bitter part of him claims that if Jesper isn’t injured once he arrives, he’ll be injured once Kaz gets his hand on his cane. 
He shifts his weight, the pain in his leg starting to take its toll. The slight relaxation disappears once he hears footsteps. Kaz turns, ignoring the ache the motion brings him. His entire body hardens, preparing for a fight. He doesn’t look like he belongs here yet and there’s nowhere to run. The person crossing his path will need to be taken care of--knocked out or something more permanent. 
The person only pauses to look at him when Kaz angles himself forward in a fighting stance. He watches the person, a girl, shifts back slightly, eyes wide and defensive. She’s a mess--hair disheveled, nose slightly bleeding, and dirty kefta. Her appearance isn’t why Kaz finds himself frozen, not because of the girl’s appearance but because she’s her. Y/n l/n. The Sun Summoner. 
“Sorry! I--” She almost winces, but then her eyebrows furrow together. “You’re not supposed to be here.” Kaz’s jaw locks. He could take her physically, but for all he knows she could raise her arms and blind him permanently with her light. “That’s okay,” she breathes, something in her looking a little relieved, “I’m not supposed to be here either.” Kaz watches her oddly, wondering if her trustingness is a trap in itself. “I won’t tell if you don’t.” 
It’s a joke. That much is clear by the gentle uptilt of her lips. It’s as if she doesn’t know she’s bleeding and looks like she just ran out of a fight. Her expression doesn’t harshen at his silence. Kaz finds himself disliking that. It’s not enough that she can summon the sun, she also has to seem like it.
He needs to say something. Jesper was supposed to be watching her and now he’s not here and she is. The plan is unraveling and if he talks she’ll stay here or reveal where she’s going to next. That’s the kind of thing he needs to salvage this. 
His lips part, but he’s not sure what to say. “You’re not supposed to be here?” 
She shakes her head once. “No--I’m supposed to be in personal training, but I kind of got my ass kicked in group training and my pride needs a break.” The admission leaves her sheepishly. “It’s probably for the best, becoming a Sun Summoner overnight has given me a bit of an ego.” She sighs, the sound strangely light. “Then again, I kind of need an ego for what’s wanted from me and if one bad fight is all it takes to kill it then it’s not strong enough, considering--” Kaz tenses as she cuts herself off. “Sorry, I’m rambling, we both have places to be.” Hope presses into him stiffly. She’s going to say it. “Where--where are you supposed to be?” She shifts back slightly. “Not that I have to know, but you’re not from here, and--” 
Kaz steps forward, pushing through the stiffness in his leg. Y/n’s gaze drops. Kaz’s discomfort worsens, someone like her doesn’t need to know his weaknesses. “Are you here for me to pray for you?” She scratches her arm, “I-I can, but I tell everyone I pray for I don’t consider myself a Saint.” 
The honesty of the comment twisted something in Kaz’s thoughts. “Yes,” he lies, partially distracted by the beginnings of a scheme. He can feel Inej’s future anger as he lies again, “I’m here for prayer.” 
“I spent so long rambling,” she says in a tone that implies apology. 
He nods once, wondering how someone could  be that apologetic and survive. The weight of such power must strangle someone like her. That could be a good thing. Someone like her must be spiraling with all this change and sudden strength. Maybe this could be simpler than an abduction plan, a few choice words and he could convince the girl to come with him. He could get her to believe there was something she needed to do in Ketterdam. If she went there willingly, things could be much more efficient. 
Inej won’t like this, and for this to work he’ll have to think of the right way to present the plan to her. He weighs his options and the details as y/n whispers words with her eyes closed and hands folded together. The words he can make out are kind. He expected that, but what he didn’t expect was the earnestness of them. 
She means each part of her prayers. Kaz regrets noticing that. 
“I can’t promise my prayers do anything,” she finishes, voice returning to its normal volume, “but I hope you get what you need.” 
What he wants is within his grasp now that he knows what to do. “I’m sure good things are near.” It’s the most honest he’s been since her arrival. 
Y/n nods once, “I should go before my reprieve costs me more than it's worth.” 
He watches her disappear down the hallway. Her movements are light, calm and unweighted. 
“Boss,” Jesper’s appearance is brash, “I’ve spent this entire time looking for her. She was in training like she was supposed to, took an awul blow, delivered an even meaner one, and then disappeared.”
Kaz tries to imagine the same hands that were just so neatly folded in prayer as fists. “You just missed her.” He doesn’t wait for Jesper’s reaction, he just takes his newly repaired cane back. “And we’re changing the plan.” 
--
Y/n.
--
I tried going to Baghra. I told someone who believed my prayers meant something that I was going back to training. But then I remembered her words from last time and the shame I felt when I could not create light. I haven’t summoned light once without Kirigan’s touch. 
I’m the Sun Summoner--I am the person that summons the sun by themselves. Kirigan and I aren’t the Sun Summoner together. I’m pathetic. And instead of trying to get better, I’m wandering the library because all anyone can talk about is the way Zoya punched me in the face. 
Baghra picked me apart when I looked shiny. I can’t imagine the kinds of comments she’d make if she saw me with a bloody nose and dead leaves in my hair. I’ll go tomorrow, once Genya fixes both my matted hair and cracked self esteem. 
For now, I have the one thing that’s always comforted me. My books. I wander the library, trying not to think of anything. Of Baghra, of Zoya, of the strange man in the hall. 
He seemed weighted by something. I always wish I could do more for those that ask for my prayer, but the longing is sharper now. I don’t know him, so it’s ridiculous to want to help him so badly, but my uselessness itches beneath my skin in a way I’m not used to. I don’t know why I feel more protective about this stranger than others. I’ve had people fall to my feet weeping, begging for me to save them. That hurt me, but the desire to help this one stranger burns in a way I’ve never felt before.  
“I don’t know why they don’t look for you here every time you disappear.” His voice is as soft and subtle as a shadow. “They’d save so much time.” 
I fight the urge to defensively grasp the first book I can reach. “You’re making it sound like I have a habit of vanishing in order to make a point.” My defense is weak. We both know that this isn’t the first time I ran away from something here. “Sometimes absence is just that.” 
“When you’ve waited for someone as long as I have, all absence is significant.” The words are not harsh but they should be. I don’t know how I could respond to that. 
He steps forward easily, as he always does. I keep myself still despite the way that warmth settles against my chest uncomfortably. I manage to hold onto my stillness even when he raises a hand, one gentle finger brushing above my top lip. I tense at his lingering touch. 
Kirigan turns his hand slowly, exposing the red on his fingertips. “How di--” 
“Training,” I interrupt quickly, “I promise I got a decent hit in as well.” 
When he nods, his expression is clearly weighted but I cannot interpret it. He almost always looks like that. I shouldn’t find anything about the man that stole me from everything I’ve ever known (even though he had good reason to do so) alluring, but I want to understand him. It’d feel like knowing a secret the rest of the world is desperate for. 
For a moment we just stand there, Kirigan closer than he’s ever been. Sometimes when he’s quiet I think he knows my secrets. All of mine. Even my curiosity about him. “I don’t doubt that.” 
At least he tries to be nice to me sometimes. It’s more than anyone else here can say. Except maybe Genya. “You don’t have to say that.” He knows it’s true. “Keep in mind you found me in the library, hiding from Baghra.” 
He hesitates. “No one likes training.”
“I think I’d find it tolerable if…” Can I say this to him? Admit the extent of my helplessness? He looks at me patiently, waiting for me to give something to him. “I’m the Sun Summoner--that’s supposed to be me. That’s supposed to be mine, and I can’t do it by myself.” 
The patheticness of my struggle hits me in full force. I drop my head as he weighs my words. “It’s in you,” he says it so surely I don’t think I could argue. 
I smile politely. “Thank you.” 
Kirigan reaches downwards, towards my wrist. He latches onto me so quickly I’m too surprised to back away. “Light,” he prompts like it really is that easy. 
I know I can do it with him, so I don’t see the point in showing it. “It doesn’t count if I get help.” 
“Y/n.” Sometimes I think his voice is softer when he speaks my name. 
I raise my hands, overlaying them, letting the hand that he touches make up the base of my cup. Reaching into myself, I search for the power beneath my skin. With him, that power seems to sit directly beneath the surface, desperate and greedy. I don’t call to it, instead I simply let it flow. The light bleeds from me, a sphere of blinding light bursts into my hands. It’s bright, burning, and desperate to escape my control. 
My mind clamps around the power tightly, restraining it without choking it out until the light in my hands is exactly as small as I want it to be. I hold it there, letting its warmth melt away all of the bad. I let it grow, the light illuminating a path I can barely see--a path in which I do not disappoint those that need to have faith in something and for some unknown reason decided to place it in me. I hold onto that feeling, and then I let the light disappear. 
I smile at my hands. The only good that’s come from this is the way the light makes me feel. “Y/n.” I look up at Kirigan, who’s showing me both of his palms. “That was you.” 
A feeling better than the light coils up my stomach and into my heart. I grin. I did it without him. I can do it without him. “That--how did you know that would work?” 
“I knew that you could do it, you just needed to see it.” 
Warmth fills me, light and easy. A little too light. I have to work at not reaching for him, not because I need to, but because I want to. “Thank you.” This time I mean it.
“Your gratitude is premature,” he warns, but nothing about it is harsh, “I’m here to send you back to training.” 
At least the thought of facing Baghra no longer devastates me. “There’s always a catch.” I smile, hoping he understands what he’s done for me. “But I think this time it may be worth it.” 
He almost smiles. “Tell me if you still feel that way after spending time with Baghra.” 
A fair warning. It’s more than I expect from him. “Will do.” 
Kirigan’s expression threatens to soften, but he turns away from me with a soft nod before I can try to decipher the look. I let him leave before disappearing down another hall, forcing myself to look for Baghra. I think of my interaction with both Kirigan and the stranger, at least Baghra won’t be the weirdest part of my day

Tumblr media
not meant to be.
Dealing with rejection (giving + receiving)
⛓️🐺🪓🎬♟️
Tumblr media
❥ Giving She averts her gaze as soon as she hears your confession. This is always an awkward position to be in, no matter how many of her Sinners have professed their love for her.
“I’m flattered...” She’s hesitant with her words, feeling for any reaction from the shackles. “...And I’ll always cherish you as my Sinner. But I can’t give you the love you’re looking for.” It’s kind of cheesy, but she means it.
❥ Receiving Fortunately, Chief is skilled at improv. Her brilliant idea is to pretend she confessed as part of an undercover mission.
“Nevermind, forget what I said. I lost my bearings for a second.” She waves you away and digs into her pocket, pulling out her comms device. “Sorry I put you on the spot.” She then dials Nightingale to ‘reveal her plan,’ but it crumbles into a cry for comfort instead.
Tumblr media
❥ Giving “You’re cute, I’ll give you that.” Zoya doesn’t mean to mock you, but it’s hard not to feel humiliated beneath her. She knocks a gentle fist against your shoulder and flashes you a well-meaning smile. “Hey, you’ll find someone worth your time. You deserve better than some Syndican thug anyway.”
❥ Receiving Most people obey Zoya without question, either out of fear or loyalty. She commends you for not giving in the same way. Her talk with you is brief but respectful, and she doesn’t hold anything against you.
The signs of her wounded heart only appear once you’re out of sight. It’s left her in a very nasty mood. She seeks out any chance she gets to destroy something—whether that’s by picking fights with rival gangs, or wrecking up whatever car/window/person is within reach.
Tumblr media
❥ Giving “...What.” The shock lingers on her face for all of ten seconds. She hadn’t seen this coming at all. “I don’t—I, um—is this a prank?” Her face is bright red, brows furious, gape incredulous. She concludes you must be messing with her, and yells at you for being weird.
❥ Receiving “Y-You actually believed that!?” She starts firing punches against your shoulder, hard enough to bruise. “I just wanted to see how you’d react and you went and took it seriously! Now get out of here and learn what a joke sounds like!!” But she ends up being the first to flee the room.
Tumblr media
❥ Giving As a beloved director known all over the world, Deren is no stranger to spontaneous love confessions. It’s a little different coming from you, though. As soon as she realizes what you’re trying to say, she takes a sharp breath and picks up your hand. “I’m glad you like my work. Really, I’m flattered.” She leaves no room for you to say anything else.
❥ Receiving “Mhm... good.” Deren never drops her lazy smile, and this time it’s more unreadable than ever. “You ever consider acting? You’ve just got something about you...” The way she seamlessly deflects from the topic catches you off-guard. You press into her some more, asking if she’s really okay after getting rejected like that. All she does is shrug and say, “Hm? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?”
Tumblr media
❥ Receiving Eirene maintains an icy stare while waiting out your answer. When you finish, she crosses her arms and meets you square in the eye. “I’m sorry, I must’ve misheard you. Would you mind repeating yourself?” It might sound like she’s trying to coax a different response out of you. But she’d actually prefer you to stand your ground and counter her—it makes the thrill of the chase all the sweeter.

Hiyaa... do you still accept a request? If it is, i have one 🤭 Let's say there is an incident at MBCC where younger sinners suddenly have Nightmares but The Chief are not present to calm them down. I imagine any fluctuated emotion from shackled sinner could affect the Chief too. Can I ask how Zoya, Nightingale, and Ann handle the situation?
Thank you very much 💓
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Calming a younger Sinner
TW; night terrors, kids crying and screaming, fluff
Summary; Child sinner experiences night terrors while the Chief is away and Zoya, Nightingale and Ann have to handle the situation
Notes; A/n
Tumblr media
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Zoya
Personally I headcanon that Zoya is pretty good with kids since they're probably a few Legion members who are younger or some of the members had kids, Zoya would have a hands-on experience with taking of kids so when the Chief is out one day and the younger Sinners starts to scream she's the first the one dashing out of her cell to the source
First seeing the child Sinner curled up in their blankets with tears streaming down their cheeks Zoya calmly and slowly pulls the blanket away from their face, wiping away their tears as she speaks to them softly asking what happened but if they don't want to talk it that's fine she'll pull them into a hug
Carrying the kid around the room as she rubs their back hearing them sniffle and hiccup inbetween sobs while she hums an old lullaby she heard from an Legion member, even after the child has fallen in her arms she won't let go until morning or Chief comes back
But when they do clear distress is on their face when they enter the cell only to see Zoya holding onto the sleeping kid and asleep as well
Nightingale
Such much as she's experienced in dealing with older Sinners she isn't as great with younger ones usually Chief handles them but unfortunately they're not here when a child wakes up from a nightmare crying at her door, not sure what to do at all since the Chief is gone for the time being
Having no other choice she picks up the child carrying them around on her hips as she calls the Chief telling to 'please come back, they want you' as she feels their tears soaking her shirt as she tries to calm them down the best she can
It takes a while for them to calm down as they sniffle into her shoulder as she rubs their back as she awkwardly tries to say soothing things, clinging onto her shirt bring them back to their cell where they won't let go of her
When the Chief comes back they can't find Nightingale from their office to her room starting to feel panic as they start to ask everyone where they went, finally rushing to the child's cell where they find Nightingale and the kid fallen sleep on the bed with them still clinging onto her
Nurse Ann
Nurse Ann is already experienced in handling kids and what to do so when a child Sinner is crying from their cell she immediately rushes to their cell calming them down, wrapping them in their blanket as she lifts them into her arms cradling their face while wiping their tears away
Feeling the child clinging around her neck as she rubs their back humming a lullaby she'd use that she used to sing years ago when the child is finally asleep she'll slowly lay them back down on the bed, tucking in their blanket and placing their favorite toy in their arms before leaving
But during the time when she called the Chief about the situation and confirmed they'll try and come back quickly Nurse Ann can't help but worry about the child due to her past and the recent lose she experienced
When the Chief finally comes back they find Nurse Ann asleep sitting on the floor by their bed holding onto the child's hand

Asking Zoya for a kiss . . . 🐺
Tumblr media
“Oh?” Her lips pull into that classic smirk of hers. “Go for it. Let’s see what you’re made of.” Then she sits back as if expecting you to serve her. But she’s not someone who can sit patiently, even if she wants to be a tease. As soon as you lean in she claws the back of your head to bring you closer, trailing kisses down from your lips to your jawline and back up again. She’s sloppy and forceful, and leaves smudged lipstick stains all over your mouth.

Does Corrupted!Zoya posses big teef and sharp claws that can tear us apart? Is she bigger than normal? With big, bulging muscles and even bigger strap-on? And as previous anon stated : tail??? Strap + tail = dp????????? If we are going this way let's jump straight into the abyss!
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Corrupted!Zoya
TW; Nsfw🔞
Notes; Oh boy, okay I didn't think Corrupted!Zoya would get this much attention but here we go
Tumblr media
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Yes, Zoya has big sharp teeth that's able to tear through skin but she able to retract her fangs at will, her claws as well which her fingers are tinted black and purple
Since it's canon that Zoya towers over all the female Sinners (6'0" to 6'2" in heels) but when corrupted Zoya is given an extra feet in her height, literally towering over everyone even compared to the tallest Sinner she stills tower over them
Zoya was already buff before but now she's as buff as a champion weightlifter, lifting things twice her size and destroying everything with just a flick of her wrist
While yes she has a tail it's the same as her teeth and claws, she's able to shape the way her tail can look from sharp and slickly to smooth as silk
NSFW below
This is where my size kink starts to come into play
Since she's taller and bigger then you Zoya's able to wrap one hand around your waist, using you like a toy as she sits back and enjoy the noises you make as she uses you
The mention of the tail does raise a few questions when in bed but as said before she can shape her tail in anyway and yes there's double penetration, she also uses her tail to bind your waist, wrists and legs so she can do as she please. Every once in a while she'll wrap her tail around your neck as she drives her strap-on into you
Speaking of her strap-on Zoya will let you chose which you want to use today but on other occasions she'll use her more preferred strap, she likes how it compliments her new body with it's vibrant purple standing out
Her most favorite thing is when you hang onto her horns as you ride her watching you as bounce yourself on her cock, the only thing helping you achieve your goal is Zoya's horns

HIII I LOVE YOUR WORK and hell yes finally path to nowhere fandom is alive. i wanted to request just some hcs for zoya as a girlfriend? literally can be anything i just need zoya content cause im obsessed, thank you!
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
Zoya as a Girlfriend
TW; A/N
Notes; Glad, you like my work 😊
Tumblr media
⊱ ────────────── {.⋅ M ⋅.} ───────────── ⊰
When Zoya first started dating she was very nervous and scared since this is her first serious relationship, yeah she had flings here and there but being in an actual relationship is nerve wracking. It's very out of her character for her when she asks if this is alright or asking permission for a kiss or touching
But when she's comfortable enough in the relationships Zoya starts becoming her old self again, but with a hint of spiciness and fluff around the corner
Zoya likes to leave love gestures behind she heads to dispatch/missions; little love notes on their laptop, freshly made pancakes on the nightstands and a kiss on the temple
If you're the Chief of the MBCC Zoya will let you wear her coat instead of the boring gray trench coat you wear, it's also to show that you're taken especially to Chelsea and Chameleon but they have a problem with it she'll happily talk with them
She loves when you sit on her whenever and wherever it makes her feel powerful but fuzzy inside, wrapping her arm around your waist while her fingers caresses your thighs as she speaks to Earl
Her kisses are soft and sweet she wants you to know how much she loves and how much you mean to her, Zoya's favorite place to kiss is your neck she loves hearing you giggle as she peppers your neck
When nighttime comes Zoya will carry you to bed doesn't matter if you're able to or not she'll carry princess style, laying you down before she lays on your chest
