Returning The Favor- Lady Dimitrescu (Part Two to Countess's Favorite)
Tumblr media
words: 2,516
It had been a month since you and Alcina had first opened up together about your true feelings. Since then, you haven't had the chance to return the favor she asked of. It was your first day off in a while, so you decided to buy her a nice bottle of wine to share that night in hopes of returning the favor.
-MINORS DNI-

Contains sexual content, vaginal fingering, cunnilingus, lesbian sex, scissoring, human/vampire relationship.
It had been over a month since the incident with Alcina. That entire time, she was all you could think about. She was always in your mind whenever you went to bed, showered, cooked, or anything else. Alcina was your world at that point. However, you never found time to return the favor she so graciously gave you. It made you wonder if she was mad at you for not doing so, but she seemed to understand how much you worked. Her daughters asked quite much of you from that time; they often asked for you to pick berries and gather anything from their garden since it was that time of the year to do so. You happily obliged all of their requests, them being awfully kind. 
Alcina always gave you warm smiles and a kind ‘thank you’ anytime you served the food, as well as giving you small touches to your face and body any chance she got. She understood that you were busy with other things other than having alone time with her.
It was the end of a tiring work week, and you were finally free to relax. On the first day off, you decided to pay a quick visit to The Dutch, a man the House of Dimitrescu often did business with. You were hoping he had some fine wine you could gift Alcina and share with together. Now was the perfect time to finally get some needed alone time with her.
Thankfully, The Dutch did, in fact, have some fine wine. It was made by a woman in a small town in Italy- at least, that’s what he told you. You snatched it up as quickly as he finished his sentence and paid him graciously before excitedly heading back inside the castle. You carefully cradled it in your arm as you wandered the halls of the large castle in hopes of finding Alcina. Eventually, you had to ask her daughters where she was, to which they told you she was in the courtyard. You headed through the kitchen and pushed the large door open to find Alcina walking along the perimeter, presumably lost in her thoughts as she paced.
She quickly caught a glimpse of you as she heard the large door creak open and immediately smiled. “Hello, Maiden.” She walked over to you and placed a hand on your cheek, caressing it softly. “You look awfully tired, darling.”
“I’m not used to working for so long. It’s catching up to me.” You leaned into her touch and closed your eyes. You always enjoyed her loving gestures, even if they were always so simple. You opened your eyes and couldn't help but smile as you held the bottle of wine out to her. “I bought this for you. The Dutch said a woman in Italy made it.”
Alcina smiled wider and took the bottle, admiring the golden and regal raised printing that splayed upon the bottle. “Thank you, darling. How awfully kind of you to gift such a beautiful bottle of wine to me.” She looked at you and tilted her head ever so slightly. “How about we share this bottle tonight together? Just you and I.”
You smiled brightly at her suggestion, happy she thought the same thing. “I would be more than happy to, My Lady.” You responded. Finally. The chance to return the favor. 
Alcina leaned down and placed a sweet kiss on your lips. You very happily obliged and kissed her back, letting your eyes flutter closed. Alcina pulled away, but you quickly leaned back in, giving her another kiss. You pulled away and excitedly bit the inside of your cheek. You didn't expect her to kiss you in such an open space like that, though you weren't complaining. “You seem quite excited, my dear.” Alcina let a slight chuckle rumble throughout her chest.
“I am.” You admitted. You took a step back and placed your hands behind your back, ever so slightly shy all of a sudden. 
“Get some rest, my dear. You need it. Come to my chambers at nightfall.” 
You nodded and watched her walk off without another word, eventually returning to your quarters. You did as she said and took a long yet needed nap, sleeping until late noon. It felt great to get some well-deserved sleep finally. 
After the long nap, you took a long shower and washed yourself with a soap Alcina gifted you not too long ago. It was her favorite scent; jasmine and rose with a touch of vanilla. You knew she’d smell it on you immediately once you came within her vicinity. You dressed yourself the best you could as you didn't really have any other clothing besides your maiden dress. You knew Alcina wouldn't care in the slightest, however. Alcina also gifted you some elegant makeup; you knew it was the best time to put it on. You just wanted to show Alcina how much you appreciated her. 
The walk to her quarters was long and almost nerve-wracking, but eventually, you made it. You knocked on the door and waited for a response. Alcina called out a ‘come in,’ so you opened the door and was greeted by her in the slip you chose for her the first time. You smiled and walked over to her. “You look breathtaking as usual, My Lady.” 
Alcina smiled and leaned down, planting a soft kiss on your cheek. “As do you, Maiden.” She walked over to her record player, turning on some soft music. “Shall we enjoy that wine now?” She turned back and guided you to the two chairs that were near the foot of her bed.
You nodded and sat down, picking up the elegant wine glass. You held it out as Alcina brought the bottle to you, watching the deep red liquid dance into your glass. Alcina poured herself a drink and sat down next to you, taking a sip. She hummed out. “What a great choice, dear. How much did you pay for this?”
You also took a sip of the wine and placed the glass on the side table. “A bit too much, I must admit.” You sheepishly smiled. “I just wanted you to have such a nice present.”
“You shouldn't spend so much on me, Maiden.”
You shrugged and giggled. “You deserve only the best. I…” Your voice trailed off. Oh, god. You almost admitted you loved her. Well, you did. Why should you hide it? “I love you. I want to treat you as though I truly do.” 
Alcina felt her heart warm with adoration at your words. “I love you too, Maiden.”
You practically melted into a hot steaming puddle of essence at her response. She loved you back. What a dream come true. You wanted to get on your knees and just ask her to marry you at that point. 
The night progressed as you two sipped on the wine, discussing anything that came to mind. Alcina revealed she was in a jazz band in the early years of her life before moving to the House of Dimitrescu. You let her rant about Heisenberg, a man she often butted heads with. She hated him, calling him childish and imprudent for anything he ever did. There was also a conversation where she never felt loved by Mother Miranda, the woman who made her into who she was. You convinced her that she did, in fact, love her, as she had her own castle and anything she asked for. It made Alcina feel better; thanking you for the kind words. The two of you finished the bottle before you knew it, and you were most certainly feeling a slight buzz. Luckily for you, any alcohol you drank made your pride boost higher than ever before. Just what you needed at that moment. You stood up and walked over to Alcina, sitting on her lap. “I think it’s time for me to return the favor.” You leaned in and placed a soft and gentle kiss on Alcina’s neck. 
Alcina hummed out and placed her hands on your hips. “Please do.” She cradled you in her arms and stood, walking over to her bed. She sat you down on the edge and took a step back, grabbing onto the straps of her slip. She slipped it off her shoulders and let it pool around her feet. She wasn't wearing anything underneath, knowing it would've excited you even more.
You stared at her body in awe, your heart racing in your chest at just the beauty of her. You took your shoes off and hastily tossed your clothes off, leaving you bare just as she was. Alcina kneeled on the bed and trapped you beneath her. She leaned down and captured your lips with hers in a deep and passionate kiss. Your tongues grazed each other as you exhaled into the kiss, softly moaning against her lips. Your hands shook with nervousness as they reached up and grabbed ahold of her breasts, gently kneading her plush skin in your fingers. You knew you were doing something right when Alcina moaned against you, calming your nerves quite a bit. You soon stopped and pressed your hands against her chest to signal her to lie down. You couldn’t force her to lie down due to her large stature, so she did as you pleased. Alcina pulled you on top of her and ran a hand down your chest, making you shiver and lean your head back. “Tell me what you want me to do, My Lady, and I’ll do it.”
Alcina hummed out softly. “Do anything you wish, Maiden. I am not terribly hard to please, just as you.”
You climbed off her and sat between her legs, eyeing her body up and down. Everything about her was gorgeous to you. She oozed pure elegance, and it only entranced you further. You leaned down and kissed softly along her pelvis, moving down further until you reached between her legs. You slowly dragged your tongue up and down her folds before fully diving in. You nuzzled your mouth against her cunt and began flicking your tongue against her clit, fluttering your eyes closed. 
Alcina moaned in approval and relaxed her body into the bed as she leaned her head back into the pillow. “Maiden, you truly are a delight in every which way.” She placed her hand on top of your head. Your cheeks flushed as she spoke sultry words to you, further enhancing your pride. You continued to lap at her pussy, eventually moving faster until Alcina was a moaning mess. She truly was not kidding; she was easy to please. You were what she had been missing all her life, and she was glad she finally had you within her reach. You had wished the House was a bit more… technologically advanced than it was. You’d love to open Alcina up to the beautiful world of sex toys, but you weren't sure how you'd do that. Besides, using your fingers and such would be plenty. 
You pulled away and sat up on your knees. You then threw your leg over Alcina’s hip and scooted closer until your hips connected before grinding yourself against her pussy. You both moaned, and Alcina began copying your actions to give maximum pleasure to the both of you. You threw your head back and bit your lip to suppress your moans. You and Alcina, in tandem, moved quicker against each other. Alcina was sure to reach her orgasm before you did, but it didn't matter at the moment. The pleasure rocking through both of your bodies was enough to strip any thought coming through your mind. 
You reached up and began kneading your own breast as you let sultry moans escape your lips. Alcina was all that you’d hoped for in a woman. She was kind- at least to you- and she decided to love you back and share such intimate moments together. Every other woman you’d been with never seemed to care as much as Alcina did. You met them all at bars and took them home for a quick fuck, never talking to each other once again. You were able to free yourself of societal norms and freely express who you wanted to be at last, and it felt amazing to do so. It sometimes hurt being away from your friends and family, but once you were exposed for liking women, it was like they never knew you. They all turned their backs and shunned you like you were the most disgusting person on the planet. But in the House of Dimitrescu, it was a completely different story. Bela, Cassandra, Daniela, Mother Miranda, and most importantly, Alcina all seemed to love you for who you were. Like it was a regular and basic human trait. Of course, some maidens didn't agree with your lifestyle after figuring out your relationship with Alcina, but it was none of their business. They knew that if they told you it was disgusting, Alcina would throw them down into the cellar in the blink of an eye. You were basically invincible with Alcina’s love for you. 
“Oh, Maiden.” Alcina moaned and knotted her eyebrows together. She was close to her orgasm. You let out an ‘mmh’ as a response, nearing yours as well. You continued with the quick pace, your breath becoming heavier with each passing moment. Before you knew it, your orgasm hit you like a train, making your body twitch as you rode it out against Alcina. Alcina reached her orgasm not far from yours and closed her eyes, letting out a long and alluring moan. As you two rode your orgasms out together, your body twitched ever so slightly as your sensitive clit rubbed up against Alcina’s. Your hips soon came to a stop, and so did Alcina’s, leaving both of you a heaving mess. 
Alcina grabbed your arm and pulled you onto her body, letting your head rest against her chest. She ran her hand up and down your back as she calmed her heavy breathing. “Favor gladly returned, my dear.”
You smiled and softly laughed as you cuddled into her body. “I’m glad that sufficed.” You sat up a little and looked into her eyes lovingly before planting a soft kiss against her lips.
Alcina kissed you back and ran her hands down your body, cupping your ass in a gentle squeeze before moving them down to your thighs. She moved you beside her and pulled you into her body, trapping you with her arm around you. You very happily obliged with the cuddling and wrapped your own arm around her side. Alcina placed her chin against the top of your head and took a deep breath. “Did you use that soap I gave you?”
“Just for you, My Lady.” 
“It smells wonderful on you.” You and Alcina soon slipped into a peaceful slumber in each other's arms, knowing that needed to happen more often from then on. You both were silently thrilled to have loved each other back dearly. 
Notes: Hope you all enjoyed part two to this little series! I might be writing a third and final part to this with lots of angst and even more domestic fluff! Make sure to follow my AO3 @ AlbertWhiskers!

But they totally look like they are filming it from the loft. Maybe during his physio appointments. why wipe it off? I was right! They DID need to be watching him to make sure he was awake & watching! They did this for him... they were up in the middle of the night doing this to give castle the best birthday gift ever for a mystery writer. Tho an escape room would have been fun too. just walking on the phone as people do "should he decide to break in" why didn't he shred it tho? the soda from the cabinet <3 coordinating it with the beckett fridge hint was sooo good they had rehearsals on the day-of!? She has lied before, she IS a good actress sometimes! I want to look in your fridge! I feel like I am being attacked! Oh no! I have a particular talent for telling people what to do & how to do it! I love her sm & am so glad they made that

My dad is a carpenter, he has done work for museums & churches, I wonder what it would be like if he made commissions for film.

"build me a sign" in the middle of shooting like bro you just... didn't have that already? ok lol wet paint still on camera lol

Soho new york these pretty ladies! artists, writers, Bachelor & playboy & walking distance to restaurants really pretty tbh. Old fashioned. walking distance 5-10m from where kate lives according to the new york fellows faster on foot than in a taxi, obviously
Love the skylight NF: What I learned about richard castle when I walked in here was that he is incredibly wealthy. Old spectacles, swords, typewriters, weird alphabet golfballs they just hide their lines around the sets lmao open shelves are great for me as an adhder with a lack of object permanence, out of sight out of mind. But that is One Heavy Door considering the shelves are acting as the wall between the office & rest of the house. The kitchen certainly is interesting. Too clean imo just have a cambro under there lol NF: "we've all lived like that" smells like dust lol sfx, perry! My man! Ah, fire issues. Wourder. Jersey lol. it IS a nice staircase! Vern: Is there anything actually up there? Me: well they joked about seamus dever sleeping in castle's bed & jon huertas putting a cot up there to nap between takes...

AM: Maybe a million? a little more than that SS: a million three nine five ($1 395 000?) NF: 4.2 million SK: 200k Vern: Interesting guesses
3bed 3bath 5k sq feet in soho for 6mil with all that outdoorspace I'd buy one for myself & for each of my daughters 12mil 200k would get you a storage bin, maybe two, for your coats 2bed home office 1.8k sq feet fabulous details open kitchen exposed brick in the heart of tribeca, closer to 4mil. If there is outdoor space closer to 5mil.
Make your home your castle uwu *steals a book*

Jon Huertas & Seamus Dever going for "tactical training" but I've seen this one & idk how much of it was scripted but it is insane they are insane I am insane I went insane over this not to mention how insanely funny it is. A recert for tactical effectiveness they say. I am trying SO HARD not to tell the entirety of tumblr how silly & stupid this is like How Much of this was scripted, how much did they say "just play around" how much did they tell the training team? how much were they acting? this feels like an unus annus episode r for restraint that's the only one I'm saying in this liveblog.

The Outline Of The Story and how i was tricked into subletting my mum and her partner at the time Matthew Turner where on bad books at the time but they where living apart. my sister kera had just abandoned her flat in a very untidey fashion and me and mat was living there in order to keep it clean and  restore it to the condition it once was in. (This was not to far before i was made homeless. and i was also in early stages of addiction to legal highs) eventually time came up on us and as my sister did not want to return the property was brought back under the landlords control. thankfully that same day i had been given a backdated DLA Claim which matthew was very aware about but i could not of ever prodicted what would have happened next.... i certainly didn't expect to be tricked into subletting by someone i trusted so much Kenny cole and Matthew Turner i will never forget you for your joint efforts Searching for a new property i spent the whole day searching with matthew for a landlord that would accept us. although we had the deposit to hand they really wanted a garunter. which i found annoying considering i was also working at the same time. but of course this is how landlords become certain of there long term commitments with a tennant. so after this long search i went back to my mums for the night. at the time matthew and my mum where married but not currently living together. but during the evening i got a call from matthew saying he had found a landlord called "Steve" and if i paid a £400 Deposit i was ready to move in that day!. Later on we find the true identity of steve. but at the time i never knew the route i was heading down.... Living in the property the property was really nice but a lot of things did not add up, repairs... no contracts everything got very suspicious and although matthew was living with me at the time he was hardly around to be seen. and everyone was so shady in the area.... i was paying my rent like normal £400/month which was very reasonable to the man called steve. but as each month past i was getting very concerened The Knock at my door........ someone knocked at the door.... it was a friend of the relative that was supposed to be living there. and i guy conceling a samari sword. i was interogatedby the woman and man, asking questions about how i got in. what im doing and also informing me i was Subletting. i kept telling them that i had been paying this landlord called Steve and they was really confused saying it should have been Captin, and im like Captin who? and then i herd the name. Kenny Cole.  and everything became clear..... thankfully both the lady and the man was understanding after a while even offering me out for a drink... but i told them no as i was packing my stuff and getting ready to leave. The Outcome after staying there around 4months i was down over £1000.... i had been left threatened and bitrayed. not only by Matthew turner someone who was supposed to be part of my family but also by the c**t of a Kenny Cole.  see there is a reason when i herd that name things become clear and i will explain shortly below. i called my mum to confirm the worst sending photos and texts. i was left shaken and in tears and my mum was understandingly distraught. i made arrangements over that night to get my stuff removed. i had family and friends of family come and move my stuff whiste i stayed there one last night... i still can't belive i let both Kenny Cole, and Matthew Turner tricking me into subletting Who Is Kenny Cole AKA: Captin? what was his part in tricking me into subletting Kenny Cole (Thanet) is known in my local area of thanet for many things. scamming, alledged abuse. theaft and much more. when i was told who he was i instantly clicked because although i've never met him my family have had issues with him in the past. after doing so much research into him and tracking him in the months to come i learnt how much of a dishonest unloyal man he is. so what did he do with the money he stole of me and many others.
  spend it on his cocaine addiction of course. i understand addictions come with problems but instead of getting help for himself like me and many others have to. he's too stuck up to face the truth. Kenny if you see this. you still owe me £1,000 get in touch i'm certain i was not the only one to get tricked into subletting Who Is Matthew Turner what was his part in tricking me into subletting? Matthew Turner (thanet) was my mums husband at the time. and he was the biggest perp into the setup of me getting tricked into subletting he had his own issues as always but generally was considered a nice guy until this incident. Mat, you said you would treat us like your own. you said you would look after my mum. but over the years you did nothing but bring us grief.  im happy you have a new partner. and your moving on in life but we will never let you down for what you did And if your reading this Matthew, hurry the fuck up and sign those devorce pappers.   Thanks For Reading another Blog Post From The My Life Stories Series   (tricked into subletting)And i would like to applogise for the delays. last month i decided i need to take a little break. so i did. although this post has been in review for longer then it should be for a number of reasons. (should it be posted, is the context right.)  being number one. also i don't want to be a shaming anyone. but in this one and only rare case i will. and unless of an extreme circermstance, i will not review the listing on the site. Life has been rather hectic, getting read to move. searching for new jobs and constant arson attempts in my block of flats :( but soon the series will continue as promissed and  i still owe you another post for last month so that will be released in the next week. Thanks once again, take care Li.

Okay, I know I spend a lot of posts talking about how NOT to treat pharmacy staff, but I really want to talk about how big a difference it makes when you're nice.
Today was awful. We had to move the entire pharmacy to the other side of the store in one night (we can't leave meds, needled, or HIPPA info unlocked, and a pharmacist has to oversee the move), the computers weren't attached to printers, we didn't have logins for important sites, the fax machine wasn't sending or receiving, the phones kept dropping calls, shelves of meds were out if order, we didn't know where half our stuff was, there were only four of us (and the overseeing pharmacist had stayed until nearly midnight yesterday) ...and very few patients were understanding.
And there were a lot of customers. And the phones kept ringing. And there was barely time to touch data entry or fill queues, which for me creates so much anxiety bc people show up and expect their stuff to be done.
At least two ladies and one man gave me absolute hell. I don't want to dwell on them, but it's important to understand that one was so bad that she wouldn't let me get a word in explaining the problem, put me on a strict timer, and I basically had to prioritize her and only her. I had to step into the back because I was so stressed, and by the time she left my hands were visibly shaking.
And then the next lady in the long line comes up, and the first words out of her mouth were 'I'm sorry you had to deal with that.'
I just about burst out crying right then and there.
To be fair, she's a semi-regular who I've exchanged words with enough to recognize her. Yesterday I saw she had meds to pick up and, remembering she was in a tight spot financially last time, checked her co-pay just to make sure she wasn't coming in for something she might not be able to afford ($0 co-pay, thankfully; had it been high I probably would have taken the time to call her). So the respect goes both ways.
But seriously. The sheer validation that one phrase had after all the shit I endured. I think that's the only reason I made it through the rest of the day.
You don't have to stand up to people at the pharmacy who are being assholes. We don't expect you to. But please know that reassuring us about treatment we don't deserve goes a very, very long way. And just like we remember the patients who cause us stress, we remember and look forward to the ones that are kind to us. We say 'oh, Mark is coming in today-I sure hope his leg is healing alright. I think we have his favorite chocolate in stock, too.'

Chapter four Blackbeard.
𝙿𝚒𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚎 𝙰𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚣
𝙰𝚝𝚎𝚎𝚣 𝚡 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛
■█■█■█■█■█■█■█■█■█■█■
Finally docking at Tortuga, we all left the port side making our way in to the city, the guys kept close to me telling me before about how it wasn't safe for me so I needed to keep close to them.
The place was lively with drunken people laughing and running around, their were pirates laying on the floor obviously had to much to drink as they slept, women walked around with at least one pirate glued to their arm.
A few large groups pushed and shoved eachother as a fight broke out, at the scene Yeosang grabbed my arm leading me away as we followed Hongjoong to where ever we were supposed to meet this person.
We made our way to what looked like a tavern the door wide open as the cheers and singing grew louder the closer we got, a man stood out infront his back facing us. The pirate's appearance was deceiving. He looked like a ramshackle beggar, or a useless drunk.
But it seemed as the other pirates feared him. The man turned around facing us, His beard was wild and unruly, it came up to his eyes and he twisted colourful ribbons into it, he dressed all in black, strapped several pistols to his chest, and had on a large black captain's hat.
"Captain Thatch, as I live and breath. And what is this magnificent muzzle you've cultivated?" Hongjoong said walking up to the man, the captain eyed through the crew.
"Why fly a black flag when a black beard will do? What brings you gents and lady here?" The man said eyes going back to Hongjoong, he stepped forward towards him smiling.
"Well your the only captain alive who knows where the black lagoon is, I was wondering if you'd share?" Hongjoong asked, the place around us became silent as people listened in.
"Follow me" he said walking off Hongjoong followed first making the rest of us to follow, as we walked in to the back of an old building, Black beard took a seat offering us to sit.
"So you got the other two stones then?" He asked Hongjoong, who nodded showing him the two gemstones, Black beard nodded then laughed loudly.
"Brilliant!, why don't we take my ship will go tomorrow, by the time we get there it will be nightfall, it's better at night anyway" he said standing up patting Hongjoong on the shoulder as he walked passed leaving the rest of us in silence.
"Black lagoon? Will that be the same black lagoon from which no sailor ever returns? The black lagoon of lost souls, where they grind your bones and pickle you spleen and..-" Mingi asked starting to panic but Yeosang cut him off.
"No Mingi. This is the nice black lagoon, with lots of beaches and drinks." He said as he gleared at him shaking his head, at that Mingi sighed not realising Yeosang wasn't serious.
"Black lagoon?" I asked looking around at them not knowing what the Black lagoon was, hopefully not what Mingi said it was.
"Indeed, only the most foolish of captains would dare to sail a ship near it, but it is told that the Black lagoon is filled with vicious creatures that will attack any man they see" Yeosang explained to me, I nodded getting a bit nervous about tomorrow, the room was silent for a while as we sat there thinking.
"I want you all to be careful tomorrow about the Black lagoon and Captain Thatch, we will be on his ship so who knows what will happen" Hongjoong whispered they all nodded leaving me once again confused.
"His reputation preceded him. He would make his men richer than their wildest dreams, but if they questioned an order they would die a painful and public death. His men would describe him as sadistic and ruthless, but in the pirate world these are compliments." Seonghwa said seeing my confused face.
I nodded in understanding, now knowing that this man was someone to be weary of, he did look intimidating much so then when I meet Seonghwa or the others for that matter, captain Thatch is an older gentleman, or pirate who knows what he is capable of.
"Right, let's grab a few things while we're here for now, Yeosang you stay with Yn keep her safe" Hongjoong said to him. Yeosang nodded a serious expression on his face, but then he smiled down at me as he stood up offering him arm to me.
I smiled back grabbing his arm as I stood up and we walked out, hearing some of the others whining about it was unfair that Yeosang showed me around and not them, hearing that made me giggle at their chidness while messing around.
"So how have you been enjoying your adventure so far?" Yeosang asked, I thought about it for a moment as I looked around the place seeing all these different things that I never thought I would.
"It's an amazing adventure so far, nice places, nice ocean, nice people, a very attractive boatswain" I said grinning up at him, I had no idea where the confidents came from, I'm never that bold.
"Well I'm glad, your pretty gorgeous yourself my dear" he said chuckling to himself, at those words I felt a blush, so I looked away hoping he didn't see how he affects me so.
I felt Yeosang hand as he brush a peace of hair that was blowing in the calm breeze, out of my face, looking up at him I was captivated by his beauty, Yeosang was really a delight to be with.
As we stayed standing our eyes never looking away, I could see him lean in, I stay in my place not really knowing what to do, his lips found mine as my eyes fluttered closed at the feeling of his warm lips.
All to soon he pulled away leaving me a blushing mess, I blinked rapidly not knowing what to say or do as he just stared at me, and a small smile ghosted his lips, he stated to lean in again.
"YEOSANG! YN!" our names were called out by the loud mouth pirate as Yeosang likes to call Wooyoung, Yeosang moved away from me a respectable distance between us as we watched the young pirate running up to us with Jongho and San right behind him.
"We've been looking everywhere for you two" Wooyoung said as he bent down breathing heavily as he tried to catch his breath, I opened my mouth to apologise to them but Jongho spoke up first.
"Oh don't be so dramatic, we only started looking for them a minute ago, and why are you out of breath already?" Jongho asked glearing at the older member of the crew. San just stood there chuckling at the two now bickering.
"Oh Yn look what I found for you" Jongho said now ignoring the older he was once just arguing with, he pulled out a pearl necklace from his pocket and handed it to me smiling.
"Found? Don't you mean stole" Wooyoung said as he snorted at Jongho, the young once again ignoring him watching me instead.
"It's beautiful, thank you Jongho, even if you did steal it" I told him smiling at the boy as he grinned back looking over at Wooyoung as he just rolled his eyes at him.
"Here let me put it on for you" Yeosang said as he picked up the necklace from my hand and placed it around my neck, cliping it in place. His hands softly brushed against my neck making a shiver run down my spine.
"There beautiful" he said stepping back to have a look the other three nodded looking at me smiling agreeing with Yeosang words.
"The necklace? Or me?" I asked chuckling as all four of them blushed a little not expecting me to ask a question like that.
"Both" was all Yeosang said as the others agreed once more, I blushed feeling a bit embarrassed for asking that type of question, the others laughed seeing my reaction, as we slowly walked around the rest of the city before heading back to the ship for dinner then sleep.
✥----------------†----------------✥
The Queen Anne's Revenge, that was the name of captains Thatch ship, it was much bigger then Aurora, which makes sense since Aurora has eight now nine crew members, The Queen Anne's Revenge had a few hundred men walking on bored.
The ship was painted all black almost like the ship was burned but kept its shape, the sails also black with red splattered over, hoping that it was the design and nothing else.
Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho and Mingi walked on bored first their backs straight as they looked around the large ship, I walked up next my steeps were slow, as I glanced around feeling nervous.
Getting on to the ship a pirate stood watching us his focus landed on me, the pirate gripped his sword with only three fingers and his thumb. He had one empty eye socket and a lopsided grin. His nose was as beaky as the parrot that sat on his broad shoulders and he stared at me with eyes as cold as the ocean.
I shivered at the sight stopping abruptly feeling my nerves pick up again, I felt Yeosang bump in to me, obviously not paying attention, he turned to see what made me stop and his eyes narrowed.
Thankfully Yeosang wrapped a protective arm around my waist as he pulled me closer to him, with that almost like a signal to the rest that was behind us.
One by one San, Wooyoung and Jongho steeped around me almost acting like a wall from the eyes of the other crew members, I was grateful as we walked away and to our crew.
Hongjoong and Seonghwa where whispering to themselves as Yunho and Mingi walked up to us, both had worried looks once they saw the guys standing around me, both became on high alert watching the others while glearing.
Hongjoong and Seonghwa both nodded as Hongjoong walked off leaving Seonghwa with us, the two captains walked inside to talk, while Seonghwa walked over to us, he looked down at me and softly smiled, I returned the smile but it didn't stop me from feeling nervous.
✥----------------†----------------✥
We had been at sea for a few hours now, Yeosang, San, Wooyoung and Jongho not leaving my side for a second as we waited to get to the black lagoon, I stood on the side watching the waves crash past us as we moved through the water at an unsettling fast pace, the wind was not the cause of the ship moving and neither the crew as most that was on deck just cleaned.
"You think something is off with them don't you?" Yeosang asked as he stood next to me glancing over his shoulder every now and again, I just nodded not trusting my voice.
"Don't think to much about it, as Captain said just keep an eye out" Seonghwa mumbled to us trying to not draw attention to us, nodding I looked over where the others were.
Hongjoong was still with Captain Thatch by the wheel still talking, Yunho and Mingi were to the side talking to a few of the crew members who seemed like not wanting to talk.
Wooyoung, San and Jongho kept in distance with myself and Yeosang, I could feel their eyes on me every few minutes, Seonghwa just paced around the front of the ship circling us keeping an eye out all together.
"I believe we are just going to be dropped off, we should be away from them soon" Yeosang whispered as he rubbed my arm, I nodded smiling up at him thankful of him trying to ease my nerves.
The oddly silent ocean picked up speed as the wind blew, looking up the once blue sky had quickly turned to a grey and dull looking ibis, the storm outstretched in to a wall that we were heading straight for.
Looking over at Yeosang I grabbed his arm, I had never been in a storm before and I'm honestly not looking forward to what is ahead of me, Yeosang grabbed my hand and squeezed.
Once the ship past the thick fog wall the icy grey sky restlessly grumbled, and thick blackened clouds were dragged down by the heavy rain which it held in its delicate frame. The clouds which struggled to withstand the burden of the weight which the rain held, soon gave in.
The rain poured down over the ship with a roar, the sound of emptiness was disrupted by the loud boom of thunder. The cold icy rain pierced my now wet skin. My posture weakened by the weight of my now soaked clothes.
The quality of darkness shifted in the sky but the rain kept pouring. The harsh rain obliterated the crystal reflection of the sky and turned it into an disorientated chaos.
It was like walking though a waterfall. The drops struck the already wet ship, pitting the surface like they were bullets from above. There was no harm in it though. Never have I wished so much for the land.
On deck the pirates tried to prepare for the sudden, violent storm, but they knew it was impossible, with no warning, total darkness prevailed as clouds thickened and the sky was stricken, blotting out any light at all.
The wind arose to push the still waters to choppy, which morphed into mountains of angry waves. The pirates struggled to get the sails down, and to tie them off. They slipped on the rain soaked deck. When the others heard and saw how frightened the pirates were, they panicked.
The wind slammed the rain into our faces like tiny stones and others pushed their hoods back. The ship pressed, first up waves at forty five degrees, and then crashed down jarring the bones. Yeosang grabbed hold of me as he kept me safe, the others racing over as well.
At one point the waves spun the vessel sideways. The pirates held tightly onto the mast, onto ropes, onto anything. It was difficult to hang on. A bolt of lightning struck near.
“Call the Captain!,” someone shouted, looking around the best I could with the heavy rain, I saw that Captain Thatch was no where in sight, I looked over at the crew getting confused as to why both Captain Kim and Captain Thatch were not on deck.
“Don’t you care that we are going to die?” a crew member yelled the panic clear in his voice, I looked up at Yeosang as he shook his head. A moment later, both Captains walked out into the storm.
“Peace, be quiet.” Captain Thatch said as he raised his right hand out, the clouds all of a sudden vanished as Moonlight appeared, the sea was now calm, stars and sanity returned.
Silence appeared again as Captain Thatch turned around making his way back to the cabin, hitting Hongjoong on the side of the arm as they both walked back carring the conversation.
"They don't call him black beard for nothing" Mingi whispered as we all stood staring at the now closed door the two captains went, How? Was all I thought as we drew nearer to our destination.
✥---------------†-----------------✥
The night was peaceful once again as we made our way to the Black Lagoon, though with the night it would be to dark to see it all and only shown by the light of the moon and stars.
The ship stopped quiet far away from the black lagoon, the three small mountains surrounded the ocean creating the lagoon, the water was dark as the ocean with a light blue surrounding it, it was very peaceful to look at.
"Why is it called the Black lagoon? It's lovely" I questioned, the crew stood around me and an eerie silence was left, I turned around watching the rest of the crew, all just staring at the lagoon. Heavy footsteps was heard as the crew made way for Black Beard as he walked towards me.
"The most deadliest creatures live in the Black Lagoon, and the last gem is hidden with them" he said looking down at me, I gulped leaning in to Yeosang getting worried.
"How do we get the gem?" Mingi asked his face pale as I could see the sweat running down his face, the bottom lip trembled as he grabbed hold of Yunho.
Black Bread chuckled as he walked off, looking at the crew one by one, the silence was deafening as he eyed them, my heart stopped when his eyes landed on me and a smirk appeared.
"Four of you will row in to the middle of the lagoon, you will convince the creatures to give you the gem, I will not let you back on board without the gem do you hear me" Black Beard said glearing at everyone.
Three of the four crew were picked from Black Beards crew they looked terrified to go, Black Beard looked around for the last person once again stopping on me.
"You. Here now" he said pointing at me, my heart sank as my mouth opened in shock, the crew made their way to me glaring.
"No way, I'll go" Yeosang said as he stood infront of me, Black Beard chuckled as he watched the crew refuse to let me go.
"The creatures do not harm females only men, she can not go alone so these three will be the bait while she, convince them for the gem" Black Beard said pointing at me, some of his crew started pushing me forward.
"THATCH this wasn't the deal, putting my crew in danger" Hongjoong yelled as he was held back by Black Beards crew.
"Are you disobeying orders on MY SHIP, Mr Kim? Well that won't do at all" Black Beard said an evil smirk placed his lips.
The crew stood around me protecting me once again as I was stood in the middle, Black Beard watched as he moved his hand to his sword, but to my surprise he didn't take it out of the holder.
His gribbed the sword tightly as I watch what he was planning I hadn't noticed the ropes sliding on the floor like snakes, one second I was protected and the next the guys were gone, I gasped as I looked up seeing them hanging from the mast almost like the dead pirates that hang outside of islands.
They all started to struggle to break free while Black Beard and his crew laughed at them, I felt a hand on my shoulder as I tured around looking up at Captain Thatch.
"We're waiting" was all he said as he pushed me to the four crew members, one of them a younger one who goes by the name of Jimin caught me before I fell to the floor.
Thanking him, he helped me in to the rowing boat with the rest, as I sat down I looked up as the guys still hung watching me with worry in their eyes.
✥---------------†-----------------✥
"Aye! Steady as she goes. Rocks off the starboard bow! Steady." One of the crew said as we rowed to the middle of Black Lagoon. Making our way there it got eerily quiet again but a faint humming was heard.
"What is that sound? Shh." Jimin asked looking around the Lagoon, some of the crew members leaned forward to get a better view but no one could see where the humming was coming from.
"Sing! They like to hear singing" one of the crew members said as he pointed a gun at me, my eyes widened in shock and fear as I looked around but started singing.
"My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
Come all you pretty fair maids
Whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold
That plows the raging sea
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing that console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing that console me
But my jolly sailor bold"
As I sang something started surrounding us the crew looked around once again leaning over the boat, I kept sitting in the middle not trusting what was going to happen.
"Mermaids?" Jimin who was siting next to me said, he looked over at me as my eyes widened in shock once again.
"Their real?" I asked as I now leaned over watching the water, seeing something swimming underneath the boat.
"It can't be!" One shouted as he stood up panicking, one of the other crew members grabbed his arm and pulling him back to sit down.
All of a sudden one by one the crew were dragged in to the ocean, the loud splash as they hit the water, it carried on for a few seconds as they tried to get back to the boat, but it was no use, disappearing as they were dragged down, as their screams turned in to gurgling. Two of them were gone leaving myself with Jimin.
We both froze as the the silences was deafening as we waited for something to happen next. I saw grayish arms find their way to Jimin's body, a tight hold as he was now being dragged down. I went to grab him but the creature was faster as they dragged him down to the oceans depths.
I turned around seeing with my own eyes a mermaid she had greyish skin and long, wild light blue hair. Her eyes were yellow, she wore thick ropes of shells around her neck.
Another popped up next to her the same greyish skin her hair long, but a different colour it was a beautiful lilac colour, her shoulders were covered in netting, her eyes were also yellow, she wore a pink shell around her neck.
A third and fourth mermaid came leaning on to the boat as well, once again greyish skin, yellow eyes but different colour hair, one was a sliver colour while the other was brunette. Their powerful slivery fishtails beating the water as they watched me.
"Where you the one singing?" The light blue haired mermaid asked as she leaned on the boat gazing up at me.
"It was very beautiful" the lilac hair one said as she smiled showing her broken sharp teeth, making me gulp and look again.
"Such a pretty song to sing too" the brunette said as she looked at the others as they all nodded their heads agreeing.
"But what is you name?" The silver haired one asked looking back at me, curiously.
"Yn" was all I said as I looked around at all four of them, knowing that one wrong move they could drag me down with the rest of the crew.
"Well Yn, I'm Dezzy" the light blue hair mermaid said grinning showing her broken sharp teeth. "I'm Rio" the lilac hair one said smiling but this time didn't show her teeth.
"I'm Kosmos" the brunette haired mermaid said as she got closer to the boat, "And I'm Grace" the silver haired mermaid said, they looked at one another then back at me.
"Why have you come here?" Asked Dezzy leaning her head on her hand waiting for me to speak.
"I'm here for the gem stone" I told them, the four froze in place, anger now shown on their faces as they gleared at me, I gulped again not liking this at all.
"There is an internal Island of legend, a place with unimaginable beauty, but a growing evil, where the forces of life and death are in constant conflict, for centuries many have come in search of it's power, only to fall for its corruption, and now you have come to this place alluried by the promise of power and immortality, the darkness will claim you. Are you willing to risk everything for a taste of Utopia?" The four said in union as they circled around the boat.
"I am" I said nodding my head, I've come this far and if I don't have the gem Blackbeard won't let me back on the ship, I really have no choice.
"Fair enough" Kosmos said as she shrugged her shoulders looking over that the others, they nodded as they turned back to me.
"You must answer three questions" Dezzy said "If you get them wrong" Rio said "You will not leave" Grace said.
"Not leave?" I asked getting worried as I watched them circle around me again.
"We"
"Will"
"Kill"
"You"
They all said I bit my lip getting anxious about the questions not knowing what to expect, I took a breath to calm my nerves.
"The first question" Dezzy said looking over at Grace, the said mermaid nodded as she started speaking.
"Lighter than what I am made of, More of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, A tooth within the sea. Speak my name." Grace asked looking up at me with a raised eyebrow smiling.
"Ice" I said after thinking for awhile, Grace nodded agreeing that it was right, she looked over at Kosmos as she started to speak.
"I am four letters long, I can be seen in the sky, I am the ocean and I am the sea. Can you guess me?" She asked playing with the water.
"The colour Blue." I said looking up at the sky and the sea nodding Kosmos looked over at Rio for the last question.
"I look flat, but I am deep, Hidden realms I shelter. Lives I take, but food I offer. At times I am beautiful. I can be calm, angry and turbulent. I have no heart, but offer pleasure as well as death. No man can own me, yet I encompass what all men must have. What am I?" She asked looking up with an almost evil smile.
"An ocean." I said, they looked at one another again and disappeared in to the ocean, I leaned over the boat to see where they were going but it was to dark to see anything. After a few more minutes going by they showed up again.
"Here you have answered them all correctly" Kosmos said handing me a light blue gem stone, as I held it in my hands I realized that it was Topaz "Thank you" I said as I placed it down.
"You must be careful" Dezzy said as she looked at me, "We sense danger" Rio said looking around the ocean, "On your ship" Kosmos whispered as she looked at Blackbeard's ship, "The captain is a liar" Grace whispered as well.
"Seek our warning" Dezzy said as she swam away and down in to the ocean, "Be safe" Rio said as she followed after Dezzy. "Treasure that gem" Kosmos said now leaving, "Your life depends on it" was all that Grace said as she swam away too, leaving me alone with the Topaz and having to row the boat myself.
✥---------------†-----------------✥
Making my way back to the ship, I replayed the mermaids words, do they know that Blackbeard is trouble do they know what he's planning, am I really safe on that ship?.
As I got to the ship, I could see the guys still hung up on the ship, hopefully Blackbeard will let them down once I'm back on deck I wondered.
Climbing up the ship some crew helpped me up as I was surrounded by Blackbeard's crew, I looked up at Hongjoong he just nodded at me obviously seeing the worry in my eyes.
"Well did ya get it or nah" Blackbeard asked storming over to me getting right in to my face, I quickly nodded handing over the gem, he snatched it away holding it up and chuckling.
"Hongjoong, the other two" Blackbeard asked, Hongjoong refused though making Blackbeard angry, the rope around Hongjoong started shaking him, making the two gem stones fall out to the deck.
With in seconds I felt something wrappe around my waist and pulled my up, I was now hanging with the rest of the crew, San being the nearest to me quickly grabbed my hand giving it a squeeze.
"What are you gonna do to us now?" Hongjoong asked glearing at Blackbeard, the said captain laughed as he watched us struggle.
"Throw them in the cell" he said laughing, the rope around us let go as we fell to the floor hard, San was the first to get up checking me while the others just rubbed where they were hurting.
The crew grabbed us pulling us up and started pushing harshly at us to go below deck, but they stopped when Blackbeard told them too.
"They all won't fit in the cell, throw the girl and him over bored but tie them up first we wouldn't want them to swim" Blackbeard said meaning me and Yeosang.
We were quickly dragged to the side of the ship they tyed up our arms and legs, the crew yelling for us to be let go, but it was no use, within seconds we were both thrown overboard and in to the ice cold water, both sinking to the bottom.

han solo x reader: all i’ve got to to do. (1/?)
REQUEST: none
WORDS: 1,611
NOTES: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! i’ve already written part two of this, so i’ll probably upload it directly after this one because of how much of a slowburn it is. also requests are open please send anything you would like in to me!
Tumblr media
Han Solo, the man that stole your heart but never cared to notice. You had first met him while working with Tobias Beckett, originally on Val's side about not letting him join the little group you had all founded together. However, it didn't take long for Han's charisma to win you over, as well as his piloting skills. You had especially welcomed him and Chewbacca's presence after the loss of Val and Rio. During this time together, Han grew close to you but not in the way you had ultimately wished he would. You had caught on that Han had someone in particular in his heart and that it was not you, so you remained quiet despite your growing feelings. Things would be fine without Han loving you back, you told yourself this day after day. Having feelings and being an outlaw didn't really mix anyways, you couldn't rely too heavily on anyone these days. However, none of that changed the way you felt when Han gave you his signature wink or the dread in your heart when he returned to the ship with a woman named Qi'ra, who you soon realized was the woman he had kept in his heart all these years.You didn't want this new addition to change everything, but it did.
Han, of course, wanted to do nothing but get the coaxium and become close with Qi'ra again. This put a strain on you and once again Han didn't realize. Now here you were, straying behind Han and Qi'ra as they went to recruit Lando Calrissian, and by default his talkative droid L-3.
"Why couldn't I have gone up there with them?" You complained to Tobias with crossed arms, who stayed behind with you, picking at food on various platters. He rolled his eyes at you and held up his hand, signaling you to stop the tangent he felt coming on.
"Because, Qi'ra knows Lando and last time I checked, you're shit at Sabacc." He told you pointedly, almost silently daring you to argue. You huffed, turning away from him. You knew he was right but still, you couldn't help but feel that you should be up there working with Han. You had nothing against Qi'ra, it was the good about her that made you feel inferior. You were so tangled up in your own thoughts that you didn't hear the rest of the group approach with the new recruit. A polite tap on your back from Qi'ra made you snap back into reality and you turned, a fake, tight smile plastered on your face.
"You must be Lando," You greeted once you locked eyes with the handsome man, reaching out in front of you to shake his hand. "(Y/N) (L/N), nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." He smiled at your words, swagger oozing from every part of him. Instead of shaking your hand, he brought it up to his lips and pressed a kiss to the back of it. You almost blushed at his actions but you reminded yourself that he was a notorious ladies man, he did this to everyone.
"The feeling is mutual, (Y/N)." He replied, lingering his hold on your hand for only a few seconds longer before dropping it. This kind of attention was refreshing, it had been a very long time since someone had treated you like this. It made you feel better about yourself, even if it was only in passing. You didn't notice Han grow uncomfortable to the side of you two, he was unsure of why he didn't like the sight that was unfolding in front of him. He brushed it off as just his protective instincts, you two were close friends and he knew Lando was a player, he was just looking out for you. You two had already grown apart and he hated the idea that someone else could fill that place. However, he remembered that he had to focus on the mission or everyone would suffer the consequences. This was quite literally life or death. Besides, now that he finally had Qi’ra back, it seemed like his life was really going be set up for good. He just had to get her back from Dryden Vos first.
Back at the ship, tensions between you and Han only grew. You had opted to spend your free time with Lando instead of Han, all things considering. You weren’t truly romantically interested but he was friendly, he made you laugh. You needed that right now. Han, on the other hand, seemed to develop a few habits that included interrupting conversations you were having with Lando or speaking ill of him behind his back, telling you stop hanging around him so much. Even if you were talking about something simple like droids, sooner or later Han would pop his head in and derail it. It started to drive you absolutely crazy.
“You know, between the two of you talking, I can barely hear myself think.” Han groaned from his seat across the room, once again disrupting the talk you were having. You had enough at this point, snapping your head towards Han with an angry look. He pretended not to see it, facing the wall of buttons and lights in front of him instead.
“Good thing you don’t do a whole lot of it, then.” You snapped at him, not caring how childish you were being. Lando raised an eyebrow, staying out of it but paying close attention in case anything particularly spectacular happened. Han scoffed, rolling his eyes.
“Real mature, (Y/N).” Han replied lamely, ignoring a bleat from Chewbacca that you couldn’t understand. You hoped he had said something in your favor. You wanted to keep arguing but you also knew that Han always had to have the last word, so you instead you decided to get up and leave. You were secretly hoping that Lando would follow you, just to piss Han off more. You had no idea why Han cared so much or why he thought he had the right to intervene in your friendship choices. Lando did in fact follow you, thankfully, deciding that he wasn’t in the mood for the uncomfortable silence that lingered once you stormed out. Han’s attitude only grew worse.
The next few days were too action packed and tense for any worry about love or friendships, it was all about surviving and getting the job done. Things only started to unravel more when the group decided to change sides, helping the Cloud-Riders instead of Crimson Dawn. You all knew it was risky but it was the right thing to do, you were especially surprised when Tobias agreed. It didn’t help that Lando abandoned you all earlier, leaving you with a gut wrenching feeling of betrayal. Things soon went to shit again, even more than before. You hadn’t joined Qi’ra, Han, and Chewie in the meeting with Dryden Vos and instead sat alone, somewhere away and safe. Qi’ra felt that all of you together would rouse suspicion of their plan and that they could handle it themselves if things went wrong, and you agreed. You were never a great fighter, anyways. You waited for what felt like forever, waiting for them to return and say the plan worked. But as time went on, you felt less confident. There were numerous flaws in the plan and Vos was not an idiot, something must of went south. You were right about this. You had later found out that Tobias betrayed you all as you watched Han shoot him, taking back the coaxium once and for all. You felt your heart break for the second time today. He had always told you to never trust anyone but you never expected this, unlike Han who saw it coming a mile away. Chewbacca put a hairy arm on your shoulder, giving you some sympathy in shyriiwook. Now all you had to do was wait for Qi’ra, then you all could make the next plan. However, something in Han’s eyes made you think that Qi’ra was not coming back for you and the whizzing of the Crimson Dawn yacht above proved this theory you had. Now she had abandoned you all, too. The aura around the remaining three was somber, everyone had lost so much today. Han looked you in the eyes after a long moment of silence, the normal gleam of personality in his features gone temporarily. He embraced you in a tight hug, afraid to let go of you in case he might lose you too. You hugged him back tightly, to reassure him that you weren’t going anywhere. Then Chewie joined in, making the hug a lot tighter and hairier. You laughed through your slow stream of tears, wiping your nose on the sleeve of your jacket. Han looked down at you, feeling terrible for how he had treated you the past few weeks. Feeling terrible in general, really. All he could think about before was Qi’ra and the coaxium, but now that it was all over he realized what was really important to him. You were still here, after everything and all the opportunities you had to betray him, just like everyone else had. But you didn’t. Instead, you were standing here with him, holding him tight. It made him realized that he’s never cared for anyone this deeply besides Qi’ra in a very long time. He kissed you on the top of your head, pulling you back in for another hug. He hoped his actions would make up for his lack of words. You and Chewie were all he had left.
