No. 28 “You’ll have to go through me.”

Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader

Setting: Alexandria

Warnings: Injuries, blood, threatened SA

“Daryl!”

He could hear his name but the voice was distant, muted as if he were under water; distorted and echoing. He was trying to open his eyes but with the brief, blurry, and tilted glimpses he was granted, he wasn’t certain if what he was seeing was real or an image in his head.

The metal door opening. A woman running in, moving in slow motion. In what seemed like less than a second of darkness, she was across the room, kneeling in front of him. But he was tired. Aching and bone-weary.

So Daryl slept.

He looked awful. He’d been beaten, that much was obvious. A deep black eye, split lip. Sweaty, yet freezing to the touch. Starved and dehydrated.

“Daryl! My god, what have they done to you?”

He had only looked at you for a heartbeat but he wasn’t seeing you. His eyes had since closed, head hanging. His pulse was racing, breaths were shallow bursts of air from around a bloody cloth gagging him.

“I’m gonna get you out of here.” Your hands paused over his wrist, bound too tightly to the arm of the chair. The skin below the rope was raw and bleeding. He had struggled, tried to free himself. Daryl was nothing if not resourceful. The fact he was still there was a testament to how injured he was.

You cut the rope from beneath on both sides before freeing his ankles as well. He was barefoot, reddened and blistered skin creeping up along the sides. They had burned the soles of his feet. Jesus. Lastly, you removed the gag and tossed it away with more force than necessary.

Your knife was placed next to your thigh, easily accessible if needed. With careful touches, you cupped his face to raise his head. “Daryl, can you hear me? I need you to wake up.” His eyes were shifting beneath closed lids as consciousness continued to attempt grasping. “Come on. That’s it. That’s it, hey.” You laughed in an exhale, so happy to see those blue eyes, muted and swollen as they were.

“Y/N?” He coughed wetly, his voice low and rough.

“Yeah, it’s me. You’re safe.” Small fingers carded through long, greasy strands of hair. “You’re safe now.”

“According to who?”

You were on your feet within seconds, knife forgotten as you drew your gun and aimed it toward the doorway. The man wasn’t even pointing his own firearm at you, his shoulder leaned casually against the doorframe. He was covered in blood and small injuries, having obviously ran from the fight with your comrades to secure his hostage.

“Back off, asshole.” You spat through gritted teeth.

“You weren’t gonna try to break him out all by yourself, were you?” He lazily motioned toward Daryl with the barrel of his gun. “I’m not done with him yet.”

“You want him, you’ll have to go through me.” You hissed immediately, firing a warning shot when he took a step into the room. “You don’t know me, shitbag.”

“I know you’re not gonna kill me today.” He aimed the rifle toward Daryl, but didn’t get a chance to fire. You shot first, the bullet hitting his right flank. When he continued to advance, you squeezed the trigger again only to be rewarded with the dreaded click of an empty clip.

“Fuck!” His shoulder drove into your chest, the two of you falling back against the chair. It tumbled to the side and sent Daryl careening onto the floor. The man straddled you and sat back on his knees, aiming the gun at your face. You grabbed the muzzle and pushed it aside as he fired, your ear ringing from the proximity of the shot.

Stunned, you couldn’t react in time to stop him from shifting and smashing the butt of the gun against your forehead. Pain sang through your head, your vision whiting out with each pulse.

“I think I’ll keep you too, pretty thing.” You clumsily swatted at his hands when he began trying to pet your face. “I need some…relief after a rough questioning with your pretty boy over here.” He continued trying to put his hands on you regardless of your weak efforts to fight him off. “Well, he’s not so pretty now, really.”

He finally grabbed your chin roughly, painfully tight, and leaned closer to your face. You started to struggle, wide eyes flicking to the right before you settled.

“Giving up already?” He mocked.

“No.” You snapped. “I just wanted to tell you that you were right.”

He laughed, squeezing your face impossibly harder. “About what?”

“I’m not gonna kill you today.” The man smirked and after a moment, you mirrored it. “He is.”

He didn’t have time to turn around before a hand roughly grabbed his forehead and pulled back, baring his throat for your knife to slide across it. Blood splattered onto your face but you didn’t care, your eyes on Daryl swaying and panting behind the body that fell to the side, freeing you to get up.

“Ya…ya alrigh’?” He asked, even as his legs buckled. You scrambled forward and caught him as he hit his knees. Even like this, he was heavy. His upper body was pressed against yours with his chin resting on your shoulder.

“I’m okay. And so are you. You’ll be okay. I’m here now.” You rubbed circles on his back with one hand while the other cradled the back of his head. You could see the flashlights and hear your friends calling both of your names. “I’m right here. And I’m taking you home.”

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

#I think on another level he was sorta saying like ‘hey kiryu. you’re making it extremely clear that you don’t trust me and my intentions #and I’ve been trying to show you- over and over again- that I’d do just about anything for you and your safety #but I can’t just let my mask fall off in front of everyone- I need to keep up the unpredictable morally grey wildcard act for both my sake #AND yours. because disguising my helping you as crazy random violent outbursts and weird stalker behavior #is the only way I CAN help you. do you think it would go over well with shimano or literally anyone else if I was outright helping you out #of the kindness of my heart and fondness for you? stop being so fucking dense and look past the crazy wacky nonsense for a second and #maybe you’ll realize that all I do at the end of the day- really- is help you and put my own life and reputation on the line for you.#I am an honest guy when it comes to my real values and when I told you I wouldn’t let anyone kill you unelss it was myself- I meant it.#I’ve taken a knife and a bullet for you now. can you REALLY not see through the act yet? am I REALLY that unpredictable when you think about #it?’#that was a longer explanation than i intended but. it was difficult to put into words #I basically feel like it could be read as him implying kiryu shouldn’t backstab the people who put themselves on the line to help him #and/or pointing out that he’s never actually done kiryu dirty and has stuck to his word protecting him in the ways he can #trying to say yeah all this is a crazy act and all but when it comes down to it you Can trust me #it really makes sense when you think about it that he’d have to help kiryu/show affection towards kiryu in unpredictable convoluted ways #at that point in time because. I mean. there’s a reason he was the only person who showed up to welcome kiryu when he got out of prison #and that’s because A) he sticks to his word and his loyalty to people he cares about and B) no one else had the balls or the batshit insane #mask to wear to ward off anyone asking real questions like majima did. because ANYONE associating themselves with the supposed #patriarch-killer was a HUGE NO-NO at the time. someone important showing up for kiryu and welcoming him back outright could’ve caused #all-out warfare probably. except majima. because majima was dedicated and smart enough to use his widely-feared wildcard persona #(that everyone tended to view as incapable of having any Real agenda to worry about) to his And kiryu’s advantage #does that make sense??? I feel like it makes a lot of sense if you get it to click in your head #kazumaji #majima #kiryu #yakuza #kiwami 1 #yk1 #rambling

Hi!! My name is Nikki (she/they) and I’m the host of the time machine meetup!! I started watching dnp in December 2015 and started using tumblr in like July 2016

I was a freshman in high school when I started watching them + went to tatinof, a senior when I went to ii, then I fell off of tumblr, and now I’m momentarily back and in graduate school idk how that happened

For those who weren’t previously mutuals with me, I was very active 2016-2018ish (too active for my own good imo) and then had my own hiatus until like a week ago

From then to now I graduated HS and college, got a girlfriend, and did many things in between. I feel wiser, gayer, and happier :) just like dnp :) hope everyone has fun with this meetup + nice to meet you (in advance)

meetup info if you want to participate

#I’m going to rb some of my old stuff so if you were on tumblr 7-8 years ago maybe you’ll remember me #I had to dig through my Facebook for the first three pictures #have fun my friends !!! can’t wait to see y’all #mine #time machine meetup #phandommeetupwatch #phandom meetup

This blog is now archived!

Hi friends! I’ve decided it’s time to downsize and merge blogs! I made ohmyki back in January 2019 and I’ve simply grown tired of the upkeep of multiple blogs (especially when they are less active than I’d like). This is no reflection of my love for the monstas, I’m just giving them a new home! 💞

If you’re still interested in following me or being mutuals head on over to @page7 where I post got7, sometimes day6 and will now be adding monsta x and wonho! (no pressure tho!)

I could never just delete everything especially when I like to reminisce old eras so I’ll leave this blog up as a library of mx content and memories, but it will no longer be active!

I’ll be reblogging most of my content to its new home but you can still find it all here (gifs/edits). Also, as a reminder I’m still tracking #madstual so please feel free to tag me in your monsta x content so I can see!

#m.💬#I know I haven’t been very active here #truthfully I’ve spread myself too thin for far too long now and it’s caught up with me #interactions will still come from @stayrosy #also still have my multi kpop blog @dontflirt #this is all part of my grand scheme to get back to enjoying dumblr! pls bear with me 🐼#moots hello I love and miss you and hope you’ll join me over at the new place 🥺#I tried to go through and see who was active and click everyone in a desperate attempt to get your content back on my dash

the agony of enjoying MULTIPLE THINGS AT ONCE. How do people do it….

#part of me is like. ok is it actually the best move to just have separate sideblogs for every interest #cause I always feel weird and insecure abt being a multifandom blog. For some reason #I’m like aaa I’ll annoy people if I post things they’re not interested in! :( they’ll be disappointed in or frustrated in me!#and then the evil (read:normal) Kermit side of me is like girl it’s not that serious #you are not important enough for ppl to be worked up about your blogging habits lmao #if they’re annoyed they unfollow. swell. neato.#u can trust people to curate their own online experience. It’s not your job to post what they want you just do what you want. on ur own blog #do u follow #Sméagol me: yes ma’am #(I mentally switched to gollum instead of Kermit btw)#gollum me: it’s normal to like more than one thing. good even. and you will go through phases anyway #that’s life silly. You’ll have different moods at different times. and maybe completely different interests in the future #are you gonna make a new blog every time you enjoy something.#your interest are fluid but your identity is rooted in something beyond them. Right #you can just be a person who’s always changing but is also essentially the same. that’s humanity hun. do you understand #Sméagol me: yes #gollum: good #Sméagol: but also what if it’s hard to be friends with someone who has 3–4 interests #gollum: good grief

What I think everyone needs to understand is that EVERYONE has red flags because not all red flags point to danger.

A red flag means a symptom that is being displayed could potentially be caused by something dangerous. BUT it could also be caused by something benign. It is a warning to keep an eye on things, not a death sentence.

But some of y’all acting like people should never raise a red flag in their life are entirely unrealistic.

HOWEVER, in media, a red flag is a Chekhov’s Gun. If you point out that there is a gun in a piece of media, and you don’t fire it, why the fuck did you put the gun there in the first place. So if I see a fictional character who is given a red flag, but then the narrative never fires it or even acknowledge it, why the fuck was it there.

… anyways this post got away from me.

#ANOTHER SIDE NOTE #This is why a lot of kdramas or BL dramas can annoy me #because I love characters with red flags #but then you’ll go through the entire season and the writers will never fire the red flag #as in the red flag will enact and a consequence will occur to satisfy the justification of it being there in the first place #and then realize at the end the writers didn’t realize they put a red flag in #and then I feel left high and dry because they did the equivalent of starting a sentence and then never finishing it #MAKE THEM MESSY BUT THEN FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE MESS GODDAMNIT #anyways this is also an #only friends the series #appreciation post #because all the characters have red flags because they’re human #but they’re also ensuring that they’re firing each and every one #and it’s SO SATISFYING THANK YOU JOJO #kdrama #Thai bl #BL drama #only friends #ofts

You’ll find the real thing instead, she’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred

And hold your hand while dancing

Never leave you standing

Crest fallen on the landing

With Champagne Problems

#I promise I’ll find another sad reaction photo soon #anyway Taylor swift’s music hits #*banging my head against the wall*#your Midas touch on the Chevy door #November flushed and your flannel cured #this dorm was once a madhouse #I made a joke ‘well it’s made for me’#how evergreen our group of friends #don’t think we’ll say that word again #and soon they’ll have the nerve to #deck the halls that we once walked through #one for the money- two for the show #I never was ready so I watch you go #sometimes you just don’t know the answer #till someone’s on their knees and asks you #“’she would have made such a lovely bride- what a shame she’s fucked in the head’ they said #but you’ll find the real thing instead #she’ll patch up your tapestry that I shred……..#i’m fine i’m normal #taylor swift #Starry speaks

hi egg!!!! ive seen the tag a couple times now and im just so curious who is lady terror 👀 an oc? a ship personified? can i peer into your mind for a second (the answer here can also be Who's to say or just NO)

YES! Lady Terror (real name: Genevieve Sinclair) is my sortof self-insert (though she’s gained a bit more of a life of her own now) OC for the Terror. She and Francis as the most disenfranchised from british empirical thought and good society are falling horrifically in love with each other over the course of the expedition in spite of their respective past romantic rejections and dejections and it being the literal Worst Time To Do That. And I tag them when I am… reminded (I’m certain some think I do this too often… but it’s my house). I’m painfully (and soul crushingly at times) trying to get the canon novel for them written (though I have an excerpt of the first chapter in my masterlist in my pinned, should that be of interest), which intends to have the most insane gothic jane austen vibes one could hope for, and I have like 20 au’s for them including a particular western au that is gaining increasing real estate in my brain recently. Loads of content in the “egg’s oc’s” tag if you wanna take a peek (I say mostly bc I’m exclusively on mobile atm bc my computer is in the shop and linking over isn’t very easy😭) and I have some mini fics for them in my masterlist as well!

#thank you for asking about her I have been dying 😭😭😭😭#GOING ASKLESS ABOUT MY DEAR LADY TERROR I AM PARCHED #she’s so everything tho #and francis has so many fucking issues about her its so funny #like picture this: there is a cute girl on the other ship and WOAH she’s actually on the level #but wait you’re treating your breakup like a divorce and literally if it ever happens again you’ll kys like you can’t take it #and then some terrible shit keeps happening on this voyage that you and she tried to prevent but can no longer control #and her life is in your hands but she’s only one of so many and she’s slipping through your fingers all the time #and you have to shut yourself off from her even though you get along like gunpowder and canonballs bc you can’t do a damn thing about losing #her. but she’s too stubborn for that and she can take care of herself bc she’s spent all her life learning how and THEN SHE ALSO CHOOSES TO #TAKE CARE OF YOU #they make me insane but alas my motivation wanes #but opportunities like this help anyway thank u dear moot

Sacrifice/“You’ll have to go through me”

He watched in horror as she hit the ground and didn’t manage to get up. Her leg was all too clearly broken, he could see the splintered bone jutting out through skin and flesh.

“Don’t worry,” he promised. “I’ll take care of them.”

She wasn’t saying anything, not even screaming, her eyes wide and dull with shock. But she managed a nod. He quickly stood in front of her.

There was no way either of them were getting out of this alive, of course. The enemy was drawing closer. He was wounded in a dozen places and didn’t even have his guns on him. She couldn’t stand.

But despite the fact that he had accepted they were both going to die tonight, he still stepped in front of her and raised his fists. She was lying in a corner, and he would protect her until his body gave out. It wouldn’t buy her much time. There wasn’t an ounce of logic behind the action and he knew it. But he would do it anyway. Whatever it took, however pointless it was, he would not let her die before he’d done everything in his power to stop it.

They came at them, only three of them, with spears. At first, they didn’t even attack him, just stared blankly at him, weaponless and barely able to stand. Probably wander why the hell he wasn’t at least trying to run.

He took advantage of their confusion to hit one straight in the lungs, knocking him down. The other two both went for the kill. He fought his natural instinct to duck and let them pierce him, one in the arm, the other in his side. He didn’t let himself fall. He would stay standing as long until his heart gave out.

He hit the other with his non wounded arm in the head, but the first one was already up and the third had struck him again. This time in the chest. It must have pierced a lung because he could hardly breath now.

After that he didn’t have the strength to fight back anymore. All he could do was remain standing, blocking every blow with his body. Eventually his legs gave up, and he hit the ground. He crawled over to where she was, and pulled her into hug, covering as much of her as he could. One last desperate attempt at protection. Or maybe just comfort for the both of them in these last moments.

But the last blow never came. Three gunshots rang out, not a single bullet touching either of them. He opened his eyes and saw his attackers dead, and the rest of team hurrying to help them.

There was a sudden jolt of sheer euphoria as he realized he had actually succeeded. She was still alive. She’d be okay. He gave her a giddy smile even as he felt himself beginning to slip away.

He had won
