little family || remus lupin

pairing: remus lupin x reader 1,258 words, single mom! reader, established relationship, FLUFFY FLUFF, kid fic, maybe i just crave domesticity a/n: back to back fics like who is she... (had this in the drafts for a WHILE) omfg guys this was soooo crazy indulgent I'm gong crazy no i did not proof read but i hope you like it anway

Remus is just about to leave work when he gets the call. He sees your contact name pop up on his screen, Y/N <3.

"Hello?" he says when he picks up the call.

"Hi, Re," you reply. You voice sounds rushed and anxious. "Do you happen to be free today?"

"I am, love. What is it?" he asks softly, stopping in his tracks to listen to you.

"Something came up at work today that I have to stay and handle, could you pick up Lyla from daycare?"

Lyla, a little girl equivalent to a ball of sunshine. Though you had only been dating for over a year, he sees her as his own.

"Of course I will. I'll bring her back to yours?"

"Yes please, thank you so much. I'll buy takeout for dinner when I'm done. You okay with that?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll go pick her up now."

He hears you heave a sigh of relief over the phone. "I appreciate you so much, I love you."

He smiles. "I love you, too. I'll see you later."

Remus reaches the daycare and realises he doesn't know what he's supposed to do. He walks by the window and sees Lyla colouring in her classroom. She notices the movement and looks up from her drawing. He can't hear her through the window but she's jumping around and cheering at the sight of him, waving excitedly.

He waves back at her, smiling, then notices one of her teachers gesturing to meet her at the entrance.

She gets past the gate to the classroom, leaving Lyla behind. "Hi, I know you're here for Lyla but since you're not her mum I'm going to need your ID," she says pulling out a file from one of the shelves.

He pulls out his wallet and gives it to her and watches her scan a list of what seems to be names of parents of the children.

She takes a few seconds and finally says, "Ah yes, Remus Lupin. You're on her list. I'll get her for you." He watches the teacher look into the classroom and call Lyla.

And then he realises. He's on the list. He's on the list of people who can pick Lyla up from daycare. You put him on the list of people who can pick Lyla up from daycare.

He's snapped out of his thoughts when he hears Lyla's voice. "Remoose!" she yells, running up to him.

"Hiya, angel," he says and picks her up. His heart melts as she immediately wraps her arms around his neck for a hug. "Mummy will join us later, but for now it's just you and me, okay?"

"We can watch TV?" she asks. "And then- then play toys?"

"Mhm, that sounds like a good plan," Remus replies, and they head to your home.

Later, you turn your key to your flat and open the door. You can hear the television playing a movie and the sound of your daughter's laughter. You kick off your shoes and walk into the living room.

Remus is covered in the fake makeup from Lyla's child-friendly kit. His hair is also adorned with little flower hair clips. He sits cross-legged on the floor while she sits in his lap.

"Looks like you had a lot of fun without me, hm?" you say. Lyla jumps at the sound of your voice, immediately running to you.

"Mummy! Remus fetched me today!"

"I know, darling," you kiss her cheek. "I asked him to. Did he take good care of you?"

She nods aggressively. She runs back to Remus, who is already walking up to you.

"Well don't you look pretty today," you tease. He smiles and breathes a soft laugh.

"My makeup artist is talented. She's very serious about this," he presses a kiss to your forehead. "You hungry? I can heat up dinner."

"That'd be great, and then it's time for this bug to go to bed," you pick up Lyla. "Isn't that right?"

She lays her head on your shoulder, visibly getting sleepy as it gets closer to her usual bedtime.

"Say good night to Remus?" you turn your body, so she faces him.

Remus bends down to kiss her hair, "Good night, angel."

Lyla slowly closes her eyes, "G'night..."

Putting your baby to bed goes smoothly, and she easily winds down as she is tucked into bed. She snuggles into her blanket and looks up at you.

"I like it when Remus fetches me from school," you hear her mumble.

You smile at that. "Really?"

She nods. "I really like Remus."

"I really like Remus too, darling."

"I think you get very happy around him, Mummy," she whispers. "You were not very happy last year, but now I see you be happy with him. So I'm happy."

You feel your heart do something. Jump? Lurch? Lyla was right, being a single parent comes with its challenges and you can admit a lot of late nights were spent biting your nails and wiping tears from your cheeks. You tried your best to prevent her from seeing you in that state, but you know she's observant enough for her age.

And that's why you're so thankful to have met Remus. He accepted you despite the fact you had a whole child. He saw you not only as you but also as the mother of your child. He understood that Lyla would always be a priority to you over romance (unlike most men you've met). Despite all its complications, he has been able to fit into your lives as if he's already meant to be there.

A prime example could be taken from today. Surely he could've said no to picking up Lyla from daycare, he's just her mother's boyfriend, after all. But he agreed and handled the rest.

"He does make me really happy," you say to her. "Does he make you happy too?"

"Mhm! He always plays with me and watches shows with me. He also hugs me and kisses me. He makes me happy. He's like my Daddy."

You chuckle, trying to hide the way your heart is going crazy at that. Somehow, you take the leap. "You want Remus to be your Daddy?"

"Can I call him my Daddy?" she asks, her eyes hopeful.

"You'll have to ask him tomorrow," you say, and you wonder what his reaction would be.

"Okay, I'll ask him tomorrow. Good night, Mummy."

You kiss her forehead, "Good night, darling."

You walk out of her room to see Remus placing your plate of food on the table for you. Without saying anything, you approach him and hug him. He hugs you back.

He is silent for a while, swaying your body slowly as you hug. "You were in there for a while, what were you talking about?" he mumbles into your hair.

You take a deep breath and look up at him, chin resting on your chest. "I love you," you say.

He furrows his brows but nods anyway. "I love you, too."

"Lyla wants to call you her dad."

Remus stops swaying. What is he thinking?

"Okay," he says, simply.

You jerk your head back, "Really?"

"Of course, I love her too, you know. I'd be honoured."

Chuckling, you bury your head into his chest and squeeze him. You feel him press a kiss into your hair.

"We're like a little family," he whispers to you. And you can see it too. You, your daughter, and Remus altogether as one.

And there's honestly nothing you want more than that.

a/n: SO LIKE UM this has been in the drafts about the same time as the james one like i said this is just very very indulgent brainrot i still have plans for the james series!!!!!!! ty sm for your support <3 likes and reblogs are always appreciated.

[deathmetalunicorn1]

Hello author its me the on who requested the Love after death in both part and the others... I finally have courage to reveal muself and no longer anonymous.

First of all before i request another one (sorry for being greedy) i wanted to thank you for responding to my requests especially the angsty ones, you never failed me to give a comfort and motivation, i cannot thank you enough for that.

And now for my request if you remember my other request about ei reader x ror characters that you can't write due to being unfamiliar to the character?

I will ask you instead to write a ror x demi godess freader. She commonly use a weapon like lu bu when fighting but once her weapon breaks or she found a very strong opponent she use her katana. She summon it like in the gif in below.

Now the fun part is how would the ror charcters react? Would they ended up having a nosebleeds, ended up shy or tease them?

Gods

Thor

Poseidon

Shiva

Rudra

Budhha

Zero

Beelzebub

Loki

Ares

Hermes

Aphrodite

Humans

Kojiro

Adam (platonic)

Hercules

Jack

Lu bu and chen gong

Raiden

Qin shu huang

You can choose who to write because i know there is a lot of them😅😅😅😅

Ahh~ my sweet love, your angsty requests have been so much fun to write! I don’t mind you asking for another, you’re not being greedy, I’m just happy that you are patient while I write all these requests plus my own original works.

I do have one question however….

Why in the world does she have a sword between her titties?! I actually looked this up and watched the scene where she does this, and I’m just flabbergasted that she had it there!

-As a demi-goddess, you had the choice of fighting for either side, as both Zeus and Brunnhilde had approached you to fight, both knowing your skills as a fighter.

-You were initially going to refuse both of them, but after Zeus tried to command you, while Brunnhilde asked you, you chose to fight for humanity, not liking being commanded to do anything, something Zeus regrets as he lost a good fighter because he was so pushy with you!!

-Your opponent was strong, which excited you, as that meant you didn’t have to hold back!

-You swung your halberd with ease, and your opponent, Kand, a minor earth god, managed to snap the blade clean off, breaking your halberd.

-The other fighters and the audience in attendance called out in worry for you, as they didn’t want to lose someone like you, beautiful, powerful, and smart, you really were the whole package.

-Kand laughed at you, pointing a finger at you while he held his belly, “Can you still fight me Y/N?! Now that I’ve broken your only weapon!!”

-You glared and brought your hands up to your chest, “Who said that was my only weapon?”

-What could only be described as a black hole, opened at the top of your chest, on your cleavage, as you tilted your head back.

-A sword began to emerge from the black hole, glowing brightly as your hand lifted to the handle.

-Your eyes snapped open, glowing with power as you pulled out a beautiful katana from the magic black hole between your breasts, clutching it as the light faded.

-Kand was gawking, pointing rudely as his eyes were wide, “Where the heck did that come from?!”

-You charged at him, fast enough that it looked like you disappeared, before reappearing behind him as he fell, his head rolling off his shoulders.

-You pouted lightly, “It’s rude to ask a lady questions like that.”

-The crowds went wild, roaring loudly.

-Thor- Was stunned on how quickly the match ended, able to see that your katana was your true weapon, you were good with the halberd, but there was something natural about you holding a sword. He blinked once or twice, confused on how you were hiding that sword.

-Poseidon- Eyes widened only just slightly before relaxing as he watched you pull your sword out, before his amusement grew with how easily you took care of that weaker, cocky god. It made him curious about how strong you actually were.

-Shiva- Immediately turned to his wives, who were cheering for you, “Can you really hide stuff in your chest like that?” they just giggled, like they had a secret as Parvati spoke, “That’s a woman only secret~” but all three were impressed with your skills.

-Rudra- Eyes went wide when your halberd broke, but when the sword started to emerge from your chest, his jaw dropped, mouth hanging open before you pulled that out, completely stunned on where you got that sword!

-Buddha- Smirked, moving his lollipop to the other side of his mouth, finding it alluring and could instantly tell that your sword was your true weapon as you ended the fight so quickly after pulling it out. Then had to ruffle Zerofuku’s hair after the boy asked him if he had anything like that between his chest.

-Zerofuku- Was confused as to why you had a sword between your chest. He looked up at Buddha who had a big chest, wondering if he had anything between his own which got his hair ruffled by the taller god.

-Beelzebub- Was more intrigued with the magic that appeared there first, curious as to what it was. Froze, eyes wide when he saw you pulling the sword from your body, unable to look away.

-Loki- Looking disrespectfully, gawking with his tongue lolled out, full blush on his face as he could only gawk in awe. He wanted to get a closer look~

-Zeus- Cheering loudly, leading the charge of the cheers of the arena. He had never seen anything like it and he was so excited!!

-Ares- His whole head was bright red, staring shamelessly, blood dripping from his nose as he couldn’t believe what he just watched, gripping the arms of the chair tightly.

-Hermes- Amused by Ares’ reaction just a bit more, but was stunned with the magic that you used and even more so when he saw how big the actual sword was.

-Aphrodite- Giggled softly, hiding her mouth behind her hand, amused to see the reactions of others, but as a large chested woman herself, she knew well that any woman could hide things between or under her boobs, like knives~

-Hercules- Lifted a hand to his face to hide his blush, embarrassed to stare at you in such a way, but couldn’t take his eyes off of you, especially when you handled your opponent so easily.

-Kojiro- His face was bright red, watching you pull that from your chest, but he immediately focused on your form, his eyes widening as he saw you move, being one of a handful that was able to keep up with your moves.

-Jack- Was staring before he started, his cheeks warming as he turned, being a gentleman, not wanting to gawk at a young lady such as yourself in such a way. Was impressed with your skills with the sword however.

-Lu Bu- Could sense the power radiating from you, a feral grin appearing on his lips, wanting to fight you himself. However, he was one of the few that wasn’t bothered where you had your sword stashed.

-Chen Gong- Unlike his lord, as soon as you pulled that sword out he flew back, blood spurting from his nose, twitching on the ground. He didn’t even see the end of the fight.

-Raiden- A bright grin on his face as he watched you pull your weapon out, delight on his face as he found it attractive, “What a woman!” cheered loudly with the rest of the crowd.

-Qin Shi Huang- A bright smile on his face as he watched the scene, amazed by the magic that had appeared, wanting to know more about it, but very pleased watching the show.

-Adam- The time from when you pulled your sword out to being announced the winner was only about five seconds, but he was instantly glaring, exerting his pressure to those around him as he glared at them, ready to throw hands and lay waste to those who would say anything impure about his precious daughter!!

How would RoR characters react to you wearing these pajama pants?

Oh boy, this is going to be fun

RoR characters reaction to you wearing this pajama

Brunhilde: doesn't really know what to say, but I have the feeling that, once the initial shock is over, she'll ignore you for the rest of the day. His tactic is: if I don't look at it, it doesn't exist.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong: you probably convinced the strategist to wear them with you, making silly poses and bursting out laughing immediately afterwards. Lu Bu is confused, very confused, but if you're having fun then that's okay.

Thor: he has no reaction, completely apathetic, but you look cute in those pants

Adam and Eve: they wonder how they could raise you like that. Did they do something wrong? Are you crazy and didn't notice?

Hermes: he believed that, being with him, you had learned to have good taste... that's not the case-

Poseidon: he would burn them instantly, probably with you in it

Kojiro: he bursts out laughing like crazy, thinking about where you bought them and how it is possible that they passively fit you. Eventually he buys himself a pair.

Jack: he would be startled at first, then chuckle. You look so silly in those pants, he can't help but think you're cute, so cute!

Heracles: he probably gave them to you

Raiden: oh boy, he would stare at them and wonder why you decided to buy yourself such a thing. From the outside he judges them, but inside he would like a pair too.

Shiva and Rudra: I think they had some mercy initially, before demolishing your sense of style. But then, they do a totally unexpected wow thing: "Look! I'm wearing them too, so they make fun of us both"

Buddha: "What the f- why are you wearing that stuff?". He starts asking you a thousand questions wondering why you're wearing it, then he sighs and let you be.

Zerofuku: he asks you where you bought them and buys himself a pair of the same type.

Hajun: "...what the hell are those? No, you know what? Don't tell me"

Qin Shi Huang and Hades: they are emperors, they spoil you like never before, they give you and buy everything you want... and you choose those pajamas? Outrageous.

Loki: he is shocked. His brain is blank, there is no reaction, before he bursts out laughing like hell and making fun of you. This will be something he will remember for ages and will make sure you don't forget it either.

Beelzebub: he honestly doesn't give a damn

Tesla: "WHA- where did you get them? I want them too!"

Leonidas: well, he's wearing that hawaiian shirt and you're wearing your weird pants. I think it's fair.

Apollo: oh my god. What the fuck are those. Take them off instantly, they don't suit you one bit.

[sunny-days-and-warm-mournings]

It is finally finished!! I am done and is so happy!!!

This is an AU exploring the concept of Sūn Wùkōng/Dàshèng as a Yaksha and Tu Di Gong, rather than being a Yaoguai Warlord during his later years reigning as the Monkey King.

This AU follows the beginning (with some changes here and there) up until Wùkōng's shenanigans with Ao Guang, then he went on a separate path from Wu Cheng'en's novel.

In this iteration our favourite Monkey explored the realms as he burned up time, but then he took a particular interest in the humans' ways of producing food. Since Dàshèng was so used to the grandeur and bounties of Huagoushan (being surrounded by such lush forests and mountains that never withered nor died) he sort of took pity on them before deciding to help them grow their crops much better.

But this is just the very much shortened summary of the beginning of this AU, and I have compiled some research and even more lore in my Google Documents just to expand on this idea more.

This— Westward To Tathāgatagarbha Lore Google Documents

This is the Google Document of my AU, which I highly recommend for you to read! It explains all the other details and such on this story! I did my best on making them but there would be still mistakes that I have yet to find, but it should be decent!!

This is a more casual look for Dàshèng/Wùkōng for this AU as well as some brief pointers! I made this before the portrait so some things might have changed.

(Don't mind him holding a cup of beer it's fine.)

Taken from the server (with some hints for the next half of the archives/docs) which instantly kickstarted this whole thing haahahjjjss, but it really was so fun talking about it to others! They gave me more inspiration that I can handle.

And what is Tathāgatagarbha you ask? (Brief)

In Buddhist philosophy, Buddha-nature is the potential for all sentient beings to become a Buddha or the fact that all beings already have a pure buddha-essence within. "Buddha-nature" is the common English translation for several related Mahayana Buddhist terms, most notably tathāgatagarbha and buddhadhātu, but also sugatagarbha, and buddhagarbha. Tathāgatagarbha can mean "the womb" or "embryo" (garbha) of the "thus-gone one" (tathāgata), and can also mean "containing a tathāgata". Buddhadhātu can mean "buddha-element," "buddha-realm" or "buddha-substrate"

The Chinese translated the term tathāgatagarbha as rúláizàng (如来藏), or "Tathāgata's (rúlái) storehouse" (zàng). According to Brown, "storehouse" may indicate both "that which enfolds or contains something", or "that which is itself enfolded, hidden or contained by another." The Tibetan translation is de bzhin gshegs pa'i snying po, which cannot be translated as "womb" (mngal or lhums), but as "embryonic essence", "kernel" or "heart".

The term tathagatagarbha first appears in the Tathāgatagarbha sūtras, which date to the 2nd and third centuries CE.

There will be more to this in the future when I'm finished researching more about it.

Also, speaking of people that inspire me, I'm calling my dear friends here who I think might like this: @digitalagepulao @kaijufluffs @sketching-shark @lavaflowe @sixteenthchapel @jttw-monkeybusiness and @hcdragoncat !!

Special thanks to Pardal and Grandpa Sun for getting me to write more of this too :D I had such great fun!

I have so much more to add to the docs and here but this is all for now :) and honestly this is one of the greatest projects I've started aside from the older ones. I'll come back again soon with more additions and art! And lore (And maybe some interactions with a few West Heaven occupants??)!!!

[tojis-favorite]

Imagine that whenever you are upset toji is the one that wants to resolve everything as soon as he can because he can’t stand seeing his princess upset. It all started when you went to go take Toji his lunch while he was working in his shop (he’s a mechanic btw 🤭) and the secretary had a problem for no reason and claimed that you weren’t able to give your boyfriend his lunch.

This irritated you to the fullest because he left you in bed alone that morning and all you wanted was a couple of minutes with him but Miss Secretary wasn’t about to let that happen so you had to call your boyfriend and let him know that you were there to drop off his lunch. But to your surprise the secretary had already bought lunch for toji and that was your last straw.

When your boyfriend makes it out of his shop he immediately notices how upset you are and he quickly walks up to you placing a quick kiss to your cheek before he guides you to his personal office. He closes the door and turns to you. “What’s the matter baby?” He said with concern written all over his face.

You roll your eyes “Well first off all when I woke up you weren’t there and you didn’t even make sure you woke me up so I could get my kiss, and then I come here your bitchy Secretary won’t let me in and then I learn that you have already eaten I’m so fucking irritated”

He process your words before he looks at you in confusion “Why wouldn’t she let you in” you sigh “I don’t know she your employee” he looks mad as he shakes his in “That doesn’t make sense though I put your name down so you could be able to come and go as you please, but I’m sorry about that”

Looking into his eyes you could see that he was genuinely upset that you had a hard time coming in here and that made you feel some type of way but you would ignore it for now. “And I’m sorry for not waking you up this morning to see me go, but we did have a long night last night and I wanted you to get your rest” he said moving closer to you wrapping his arms around your waist. He had grease stains all over him but it didn’t make him look any less attractive.

“I didn’t eat the lunch that she got us though so we can eat right now if you want princess” you nod before you look up at him. “Toji can you do me a huge favor please” you said with a smile on your face. Your smile puts a smile on his face. “We only have a few minutes together and I’m not going to see you until tonight so do you think you could give me something to remember while I’m here”

Toji understands what you're saying as he puts a smirk on his lips backing you into his seat making you sit down on it with your legs all open for easy access. “You didn’t wear any panties baby, were you expecting this?” he said with a laugh. You kick him with a whine “don’t make fun of me toji I really want you right now” he smiled “okay baby I’m going to give you all the kisses you want right now”.

He gets on his knees and kisses his way up your thighs licking a stripe on your pussy before he completely wraps his mouth on your clit flicking his tongue in fast strokes. “Toji oh my goodness” you said as you held onto his hair for stability while he had his big hands spreading you open.

“Mhhmmm do you feel the kisses that I’m giving you princess?” he said as he gave your clit a few pecks before wrapping his plump lips around it again to collect all of your juices. “Fuck yes toji I do, thank you baby!” you say very loudly not caring about anyone that could hear you.

Suddenly you feel two of his fingers at your entrance stretching out before he pushes them all the way in thrusting them in and out at a rapid pace. “Fuck toji im gong to cum” you warn him moving your hips faster against his younger before you explode with pleasure feeling yourself cum all over your boyfriends tongue as he greedily slurps it up ignoring you shaking under him.

You have to completely push him away to be able to fully get out of your post orgasm space. He gave kisses all over your face showering you with love and affection. After you are able to gain your composure he walks you out to your car taking the food that you had made for him and he eats it on his way out.

He opens the door and gives you a bite of his food and tells you to drive some after before giving you a mouth watering kiss all while his Secretary is staring at you two, fuming as she does so.

You’re Safe Now

Paring: Bucky Barnes x F!reader

Warnings: Fluff, mentions of past trauma,language, Nickname (doll), translated Russian.

Word count:1.9k

Authors note: First solo fic. Feel free to request anything, I write for any gender paring. Have fun loves. ❤️❤️

It's been 5 years since you got out, out of those terrible places. The red room, Hydra. Both were terrible, you were ready to get back the real you. You have no idea who that is or well, was but you want it back. No more confusion. Every night you have the same dream, a man in a uniform saving a small, skinny kid from getting beat up. He says something like, “Sometimes I think you like getting punched.” Then you go somewhere, he calls it “the future,” to which you chuckle and call the skinny man your brother. You have no idea what to think, but you need to find these men. Even if it's the last thing you do.

He missed her everyday, felt guilty for not finding her. He knows she's still alive but doesn’t have the heart to tell Steve, how would he even bring it up? “Oh, hey Steve, your sister may be still alive and is stuck in the red room no big deal.” He says to himself, not knowing the man is standing at his door. “WHAT?!” Steve shouts, angry. “Why didn’t you tell me? What made you think I didn't want to know, huh?” Bucky just stood there shocked, knowing there was no getting out of this one, so all he could do was explain. “Look man, let me explain. I didn't tell you because there’s a chance she doesn’t even remember us, or ever will. She’s been through so much torture there may be a chance that she’s never gong to remember you or me. And it's not guaranteed that she is still alive. So I planned on looking for her, with Nat’s help. So you weren’t hurt, or feeling guilty. Cause that’s all I feel. And your sister man, she’s a smart woman, so who knows maybe she's out. Just… let me handle this one.” Steve was furious but he understands, he knows how much you mean to Bucky, shit bucky’s in love with you. He knows it. So he trusts him, but if you’re alive and not with Bucky, it's his turn. He will have his sister back.

** A few days later **

You are walking in London, a huge place, easy to blend in. Not easy to find, or so you thought. You’re walking back to your apartment when you see a familiar face, a widow. You mumble, “Well, shit. So much for hiding.” You put your hands up in defense, “Listen Yelena, let's talk about this. Please.” She doesn't care, she has a mission to complete. “I don’t want to hurt you.” She walks towards you, she's gonna hurt you if you don’t do something. “Fine.” She attacks but you’re not going down without a fight. Punch, after punch. Kicks after kicks. You don’t want this but you aren’t going back. You notice a swift movement, and look up, which gives her the perfect moment to strike. She kicks the back of your knee, landing you on the ground, she's got you pinned. You close your eyes, ready for the knockout punch but instead a thud? You slowly open your eyes, Yelena’s unconscious body beside you, a familiar redhead standing over you with her arm pointed right at you. A sly smile crosses your face. “Natalia? Still competing with dear ole’ sister I see.” She smiles, “Good you know who i am, Then you know i'm not associated with the widows anymore.” She opens her hand to help you up.

“Come to help an old fri….” Your sentence trails off when you see the man slinging Yelena over his shoulder. New metal arm, same piercing blue eyes, same face as in your dream and your nightmares. You snatch your hand out of hers. Willing to put up a fight. “I’m. Not. Going. Back.”

Those piercing blue eyes find yours and all of your Hydra pain comes rushing back. “Soldat?”

His eyes widen, and he shakes his head, “Not anymore.” You’d heard talk over The Winter Soldier in recovery but didn’t believe it. Why would Hydra let their best weapon go? They wouldn’t but something about those blue eyes made you want to trust him. You decide to try something. Maybe he is the uniform man.

“Don’t do anything stupid till I get back.”

He smiles, “How can i? You’re taking all the stupid with you.”

You mutter, “Jerk.”

“Punk” He replies.

You know him, you don’t know who he is but deep down. You know him. So you trust him. Natalia wouldn’t hurt you right? She’s a hero, or so she claims.

“What do you want?”

“Come with us, we can help you remember and get better.”

You nod deciding to follow, your gut is telling you to. The blue eyed man puts Yelena down gently as she wakes up. You remember the red smoke and pull one out, putting on her face before she can fight. She coughs and shoves you off her.

Smiles cross you and Natalia’s face. “Сука.” (bitch) She mutters and gets up, wiping herself off.

“Natasha?” They exchange hellos and the two “heros” take you to a jet of some sort.

Hours later you wake up to your head banging on the side of the jet.

“OW!” You say and look around, somehow you remember him, another dream or maybe you hit your head hard enough. “James?” You question, scared. His eyes light up. “Hi doll. It's me.” Tears well up in your eyes as you thought about all you two have had to endure and the pain he must feel. A wave of fear rolls over your face. You walk over and hug him, crawling in his lap.

“You’re safe now, it’s okay doll.”

The pilot announces that you guys are at the compound, about to land. You hop up and look out the window with a gasp noticing Steve standing anxiously, looking concerned.

“Jesus he’s huge, are we sure that's my brother?”

Bucky chuckles and the jet lands, as you hide and chuckle.

Steve looks at Bucky. Bucky and the others put on a fake sad face and shake their heads. Steve looks devastated, like he's going to cry and he does. You notice and decide this is the time to pop up behind him. You sneak out a side door and stand behind him with your hands on your hips with a sly smile.

“What's all these tears for?”

He whips his head around in shock and hits Bucky’s flesh arm. He smiles as you run jumping in his arms. “Hi Bubs.” You whisper.

A/N: A birthday present for the lovely, amazing, talented, utterly priceless @chickenparm I'm so glad Genshin brought us together and we've been able to make so many fun memories together 🩷🥺🩷

⭐

The two of you sit in amiable silence while you listen to the clock chime the hour. Twelve sonorous gongs to signify the end of one day and the start of another. His heartbeat remains steady against your back as Childe gathers you somehow closer to his front than you already are, strong arms giving you a tight squeeze, and you let him do it because you’d long since set aside your differences with the rascally Harbinger in favor of more … intimate pursuits. It would have been a surreal feeling, being there with him like that, had it not been so damn gratifying. 

“Happy birthday, comrade.” He presses a firm kiss to your cheek from behind. Trying and failing not to smile, you lean your head back to rest against his shoulder so you can look at him. The space separating your nose from his is so scant your breath intermingles and becomes one, sharing the oxygen between yourselves in turns. 

When your ribcage decompresses on the next exhale he breathes in, like he was trying to pull your very essence deep into his own body. In the following moment when he lets it out with a barely audible sigh, you do the same and suck in a deep breath to taste him on the back of your tongue. There’s a symbiotic quality to the way you occupy each other's space and you can’t imagine it being any other way now. Your stand off with him in Liyue felt like a far distant dream, one you would rather not revisit or dwell on too much, rather than a very real thing that had happened many, many moons ago. 

It seemed almost implausible at this particular juncture, given your close proximity and the vulnerability both of you showed one another. But Childe, despite his faults and flaws, and what he now laughingly called ‘past mistakes’, was not someone who’s loyalty you could ever doubt. You’d earned his respect just as much as he had slowly earned yours. Whatever this was, regardless of how you decided to label it, you knew it was genuine. You may have bested him in battle once (and by the skin of your teeth, if you were being honest) but in the grand scheme of things, looking at the bigger picture as a whole, it was he who had won the war. 

The smile you give him is but one of the many spoils he’d earned for himself. 

“Thank you, Childe. I’m glad you talked me into this.” You say, referring to how he’d incessantly pestered you about taking off together to celebrate your birthday in the blissfully private seclusion of the Fontaine countryside. He hadn’t taken ‘no’ for an answer no matter how many times you’d said it but he very rarely ever did. It just wasn’t in his nature. All the better for you, considering your eventual compliance had clearly pleased him a great deal and you very much enjoyed seeing him grin the way he did. Big and boyish, and unrestrained. Like being able to do something special with you meant the world to him. 

There’s a small part of you that is certain it does. It must. He was surprisingly sentimental and tender hearted for someone who seemed so unapologetically troublesome to everyone around him, and that very much included you. 

But there were facets at play here and you were now nestled in a clawfoot tub with him, as normal as any couple that may or may not have tried to kill one another at some point in time. And although Childe had tried to insist that he wasn’t made of mora and that the seemingly limitless funds he’d thrown around in Liyue were not his own, the villa he’d rented out for the two of you appeared to tell a different story. It was a lovely place, fully furnished and already stocked with everything you might ever need during your stay when you’d arrived with him earlier that afternoon. He’d really gone the extra mile and it did not escape your notice. Not by a long shot. 

You were eager to show him your gratitude for the thoughtfulness, and you happily tip your face up to accept the kiss he bends close and presses to your mouth. He takes his time with it, kissing you slowly, savoringly, as if his thoughts on the matter were the same as yours. That didn’t make sense though. He was the one who’d orchestrated such a romantic getaway and you had much more to be thankful for in that regard than he did. But if he was going to turn this into a competition to find out who could best the other then that was fine with you. 

You’d come out on top one way or another. 

Finally pulling back after a long moment, Childe looks at you through the dark thicket of his lashes. You want to keep kissing him but instead you quickly find yourself lost in the deep, deep blue of those depthless eyes. They reflect nothing at all of the flickering candles dotted around the room, casting everything in a low flickering glow, and yet they are not the empty voids you’d once thought them in idle passing. There’s something behind all that azure now that seems to make them twinkle from within and it’s decidedly fascinating to observe. 

“You are very welcome, mój rybeńko. I’m glad you like it here.” He tilts his head slightly, as if to regard you from a different angle. Whatever he sees in your face makes his mouth split in a wide grin and he gives a quick, teasing pinch to the meat of your hip, making you jolt. “If you keep staring at me like that I’m going to get impatient, you know.”

“As if you’re not already the most impatient man I’ve ever met?” 

“Hey, now. It’s not even five minutes into your birthday and you’re already throwing insults at me? That doesn’t seem very fair.” Pretending to be hurt, Childe breathes out a rather dramatic sigh as he slumps to dock his chin against your shoulder. The tousled mess of his hair brushes your cheek in the process and it tickles enough to make you laugh. 

“There, there,” You gently soothe him. Bringing your hand up out of the water, you reach back to run your fingers through that coppery brown mop and he hums a soft sound of appreciation in response. “You’ll get over it. I didn’t say it was a bad thing, did I?” 

“I’d hope not.” He murmurs. “You can be just as impatient as me with the right incentive.” 

“Oh?” You carefully close your fist at the root of his hair, giving it a faint yet no less suggestive tug. It was no mystery what he was referring to and you knew he was right about that. Childe did tend to make you feel restless in a way that was unique to him and him alone, and you couldn’t always tell when it was annoyance at his boyish antics or when it was the pure, unfiltered desire you couldn’t deny you harbored for him. Sometimes it seemed like they were one and the same. 

Even now there’s a spark of challenge in his gaze when he nudges his face up to peer at you from your shoulder. The scales always seemed as likely to tip in one direction as the other, and you never could be totally sure if you were about to fuck or fight. But in this particular instance though, sequestered away in the quaint mountainside villa he’d rented for the two of you, the outcome felt like it was already predetermined. There was only one way this could end. You were greatly looking forward to it, if you were being honest, after dancing around each other for the half a day you’d already been here. 

It looks like Childe is in full agreement of that as he rather possessively reaches down to squeeze his hands around your waist under the water. Your breath comes a little quicker at the gesture and you secretly delight at the soft way your skin pudges under his long fingers. He wasn’t an overly large man by any stretch of the imagination but his hands were big. His feet were quite sizable too, and his cock … 

You can feel it stirring against your backside now. A small suggestion of movement that excites you a great deal and prompts you to loose a quiet groan when he drags his hands higher, palming over your ribs until he finds your tits a heartbeat later. Arms sliding forward, Childe cups them with a savory squeeze and a low, anticipatory sound of his own. The masculine vibration seems to compliment your feminine sigh in near perfect harmony, as if his vocal chords were perfectly tuned to match yours on the opposite end of the spectrum. 

“Do you want half of your birthday present now, sweetheart?” He presses his lips to the jut of your shoulder in a soft, lingering kiss. “Or would you rather get out of the tub and let me spoil you some more first?” 

It’s not really necessary to think about that too deeply. You were most partial to having your cake and eating it too, and past experience told you that Childe would be more than willing to oblige you in that sense. He always did, even if he gave you a hard time about it on occasion. It was just another angle to the game. 

Giving his messy hair another slow motion tug, you pull until his head comes up and you can look him in the eye. Oh, how he loved when you did that and his reaction doesn’t disappoint. The inner twinkle behind his matte irises morphs into a full blown bonfire, smoldering something hot and unnameable that makes your body lock up with fast mounting tension. You’d thought you were ready for him before, when you first decided to climb into the bathtub together, but this … the two of you were just stoking each other's flames at this point. 

“Now. I want you now, Childe. Please.” 

The soft inflection in your voice has its intended effect. A certain edge creeps across his face and darkens his expression with the first real pangs of true arousal. It leaves him looking much less like a boyish scoundrel and more like a man in his prime considering how best to lay claim to your body. 

You wonder, too, how he’ll decide to proceed from here even as you shift slightly to better observe him. Still nestled between his legs, your hip brushes against his stiffening cock when you move. The sensation makes you tingle all over and burn even hotter for him, your eyelids becoming heavy when he offers your tits a muted squeeze. It would be all too easy to start making demands and you were tempted. Given your status as the birthday girl (his words, not yours) you were certain he would do anything at all you asked of him for the next twenty-four hours but you were far more interested in finding out how he wanted to shower your body in attention first. 

There would be plenty of time for you to take the lead later, after your curiosity had been thoroughly sated. He always enjoyed a little power play so it would be a treat for both of you anyway. 

“You’ll have me now, if that’s what you want.” He tells you with a hint of confidentiality lacing his tone. “Do I get to call the shots?” 

“For the moment you can.” 

Childe snorts a quick laugh but he doesn’t argue the point. Instead, he gives your chest one final, kneading pinch and then drags his hands back to hold you around the middle. “Get on your knees for me, pretty girl?” 

You send him a slow, considering look before deciding that you didn’t have enough information yet to figure out his angle. There were a few different things he could do with you in that position and the only way to narrow it down would be to find out for yourself firsthand. 

So you rock forward, making the water slosh around you and lap at the sides of the tub as you get repositioned with your legs folded under you. The porcelain basin is comfortably big enough for two — further proof that Childe had gone above and beyond in picking out where you were to celebrate your birthday together — and you have plenty of room to maneuver around. But before you can get fully settled like that, he gently nudges you forward with his hands around your waist. 

“Scoot down to the opposite end. Keep facing that way.” 

Your pussy flutters in unmistakable excitement as you comply, going up on your knees so you can shuffle forward. Wet nipples strain against the cool air and it takes every ounce of willpower you possess not to simply turn on him right then and there. Wrestling with Childe for dominance didn’t seem like the best idea in a tub filled with bath water though so you refrain from acting on the impulse. You would have him exactly how you wanted him later on, in the comfort of the large bed the villa boasted. Or on the floor. Or the kitchenette counter. Archons, maybe you’d even take him out on the balcony attached to the bedroom and ride him out there. You were relatively certain he’d enjoy that. 

For now, you try not to let your mind wander too much as you bring your hands up to brace along the rim of the tub, giving it a good squeeze to ground yourself. Childe moves around behind you, much less careful about it than you'd been, and some of the water sloshes over the edge as a result. You think to chide him for it but then his hands are on your hips, blunt fingers digging into plushy flesh hard enough to bruise. Your mind goes delightfully blank at the sharp pressure and you offer up an inviting arch of your back when his palms start to drag higher. Over the feminine curve of your waist, squeezing love handles along the way, across your ribcage and then back down again until he finds your ass. 

Taking two pinching handfuls of your cheeks, Childe allows himself a moment to simply knead the flesh and jostle it as if in fascination. He likes watching the meat of your behind jiggle and bounce, especially when it was clapping back to meet the hard thrusts of his pelvis tit for tat. You knew this very well. He didn’t exactly try to hide it. You had an idea where this was going now, and you breathe out a quiet exhale when he finally spreads you open some moments later. 

“Such a pretty pussy. Every time I see it I can’t help but think I must be the luckiest man in all of Teyvat.” 

You look back at him over your shoulder, not at all surprised to find the appreciative, almost sappy expression on his face while he admires your cunt from behind. It certainly pleases you though, and you give your ass a playful shake to taunt him. “I’d say you’re probably right about that.”

Childe shoots you a quick, heated look that speaks volumes and belies his feelings on the matter. It was true. Perhaps not on an objective level but for him, for the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger, the man from Snezhnaya, it was very much a fact. The no doubt expensive villa was only a very small portion of the evidence he’d already provided to prove that. 

The way he roves his attention back down and hungrily regards you is much more substantial. He resembles a half starved man now, and your breath reflexively catches in your throat when he stoops over you without another word. A quick, wet pass of his tongue over your asshole startles a jolt out of you. You’d expected him to dive straight into your cunt but you’re certainly not complaining about this turn of events. 

Knuckles creaking, you grip the edge of the tub tightly while he kisses at the puckered hole for a brief moment before giving it another swipe with his tongue. It almost seems to tickle and you arch to better present yourself to him. He carefully prods over every wrinkle and crease, using just the tip to tease along the rim until he at last sets his sights on the vulnerable center when you start to fidget in impatience. 

“Ooh …”

Your eyes slip shut as his tongue worms inside you and just penetrates your body. It’s a somewhat odd sensation but a decidedly pleasant one. Your pussy tingles in response, as if in phantom pleasure shared between them, already growing uncomfortably wet to match your need. Childe staunchly ignores it for the time being though and just continues to eat your ass like it’s the best meal he’s ever had. He slurps and sucks, swirls his tongue around for good measure and mouths at you with his lips until you can feel the tight muscle gradually relaxing under his insistent ministrations. It softens for him, obediently relaxing into the encompassing warmth, and you shudder faintly when he flicks over the raised rim with a fleshy nudge. 

His hands squeeze where they’re latched onto the swell of your cheeks, keeping them spread and your defenseless little hole vulnerable to his attack. He’s relentless with it even when you gingerly rear back to grind yourself on his face. His responding groan, thick and muffled, assures you that he was enjoying this almost as much as you were. It wasn’t enough though. You needed a bit more friction than this if you were hoping to find release any time soon. 

“Childe … if you’re going to do it then just do it. Don’t keep teasing me like that.” 

He barks a quick, breathless laugh as he pulls away behind you, leaving your spit coated asshole to weakly twitch against the rush of cool air that comes in to replace his mouth. “And you had the nerve to call me impatient? What a joke.” 

One of his hands abruptly retreats only to swat across the meat of your behind, making you yelp in surprise. Chuckling faintly, he slides the other inward to tease the blunt of his thumb over your puckered hole. Whatever sharp remark you’d been forming on your tongue immediately fizzles out and morphs into a low, heady groan. He was still taunting you with it but at least he was headed in the right direction now.  

“Bastard …” 

“Hah. I love the pet names you give me, mój rybeńko. Mine seem so dull and drab in comparison.” 

It takes quite a bit of effort for you not to snap at him to quit being a smartass but you manage, somehow. Twisting your upper body, you instead look back at him again and pin Childe with a pout that you hope is more imploring than it is needy. If he interpreted it as the latter there was a very good chance he would just keep dangling what you want out of reach and never give it to you unless you begged him for it. You’d rather not stoop to that level — not because you were above such things but because he would consider it yet another win for him to tally up and it would rush straight to his head. His ego didn’t need any further inflating. 

He just looks at you though, a small, sly smile playing at his rogue's mouth. The steady pass of his thumb over your asshole doesn’t retreat but he does increase the pressure enough to make you subtly twitch. There was nothing you wanted more than to feel him penetrating you in that moment. 

“Childe …” You intone, making him laugh. 

“It looks like you’re about to ask me very nicely for something, pretty girl. Of course under normal circumstances I’d wait to hear you out first but … it’s your birthday, sweetheart. You don’t need to ask me for anything today.” 

You feel it then. His thumb curls down and finds the vulnerable center of your entrance, slowly pushing in on the muscle until it gives with a gradual stretch. Your mouth hinges open but nothing comes out other than a faltering, threadbare sound of pleasure. The resistance he meets is cursory at best and a surge of white hot static floods your system at the same time he pops past the barrier. It feels especially good when your sphincter weakly contracts around the intrusion and pinches at the thick column of his finger in a pulsing spasm, trying to suck him in deeper. Then, surprising a gasp out of you, he hooks his thumb to catch on the interior rim and gently starts to pull, further loosening the tight ring of muscle. 

Your need for him growing by the second, you eagerly rear back to feel the press of broad knuckles digging into your skin. Childe’s lopsided grin is victorious as he watches you watch him finger your asshole open. It's getting harder to keep your eyes focused and fixed upon him when every fiber of your being wanted nothing more than to give itself over to the pleasure and simply bask in it, but you force your gaze to follow the motion when he bends down again. Oceanic eyes stay locked on yours as he opens his mouth and bites into the fleshy curve of one cheek. He doesn’t do it hard enough to break the skin, just enough to hurt and make your sphincter clench around his thumb. You felt like you were going mad. 

Retracting his teeth a moment later, Childe replaces them with a soothing tongue. He laps over the dental indents he’s left behind and then kisses the tender spot before working his way lower. His lips trace a path over the delicate back of your thigh before angling inward to find your cunt. You outright seethe at the first brush of his mouth against your lips as you push back to meet him. His thumb gives a muted wriggle inside of you, teasing the nerve endings with the suggestion of something much more substantial stretching you open. He has to stoop quite low to reach like this, and all you can glimpse of him now is a shock of messy copper and the pale expanse of a scar littered back just beyond. 

He stays true to his word though and he doesn’t make you ask for it. Nuzzling his face right up against you, he slots his mouth to your slit and starts to work you open with the tandem use of his tongue and lips. The voracious way he groans, hot breath puffing against sticky creases and folds, makes you shudder for him. 

“Oh, fuck.” Finally losing the battle, you face forward again and let your head hang between your shoulders. Just let yourself focus on the satin sensation of having your pussy lips spread, the flick of a wet tongue soon following to drag through the accumulated slick inside. He gives his head a dull shake to better settle against you, and you bite down on your lip to stifle the frazzled sound that tries to crawl up your throat. 

But it’s an effort in futility. The sound rips right out of you when Childe finds your clit, tongue swirling around the sensitive pleasure button to knock it back and forth. You keen, softly at first, and then with more harried conviction as he relentlessly batters the fleshy nub until you involuntarily quake. Your asshole just keeps squeezing his thumb, either trying to milk him for all he was worth or milk your own orgasm, you couldn’t be sure which. It doesn’t really matter though because he eats you from the back only long enough to make sure you were ready for him and then he pulls away to look at you again with a loud, wet smack of his lips. 

“You’re already such a mess for me, sweetheart. What am I gonna’ do with you, huh?” Crooning softly, he brings his other hand close to hook that thumb into the meat of your labia. He pulls you open gently, admiring the sight of your cunt spread for him and your ass stuffed with his finger for a savory moment before loosing a stilted sigh. “Ready to be a good girl and take me?”

“Yes,” You practically hiss. “I want it.” 

A quiet groan of satisfaction filters behind you, as anticipatory as it is laced with approval. He wasn’t always the smoothest operator. Some of your first disastrous intimate exchanges were fond memories that still brought a smile to your face even now. But sometimes, in the process of incessantly running his mouth, Childe could occasionally strike upon gold and this was decidedly one of them. Just the thought of taking him in deep, of having him pound you straight into a shaking orgasm, has your body sporadically clenching as if in faux release. You weren’t just ready, you were primed for it. 

He shifts behind you then and starts to slowly pull his thumb out of your ass. You whine at the loss as much as at the sensation of your interior gripping at him, flesh clinging desperately to flesh, but he doesn’t appear to pay it any mind. His digit comes out with a barely audible pop to leave your sphincter weakly contracting around nothing. Directing both hands to your bottom, he sinks battle hardened fingers into the cushiony give and spreads you open again. You can feel the loosened ring of muscle winking up at him expectantly and you brace for the slide of his thick cock. 

It doesn’t come though. Not where you’d expected it to. 

You’d been so sure he was building up to taking you up the back that the abrupt press of his cock head into your pussy catches you off guard. A shrill, startled sound erupts out of you as Childe shoves himself into the palpitating sleeve of your body, sinking deep on a single thrust. Clutching at the edge of the tub hard enough to make the joints ache, you throw your head back and blindly keen at the ceiling. He merely grunts behind you, the tremor in his voice evident as he gives his hips another push to bury himself further within you. The stretch is immaculate for as unexpected as it is and it drives you crazy. 

Childe keeps pushing, pushing, pushing, forcing your cunt to make room for him until you feel the unmistakable weight of his ballsack settle against you from behind. You’re dizzy with it and you rock forward on your knees, bleating like some wounded little thing. Then you eagerly push back on him, grinding yourself on his length, and it punches another sensitive groan out of you. He mirrors the sound in the same heartbeat, the vibration of that low, masculine rumble rushing straight to your cunt. It may not have been what you’d expected but god, it felt good. 

“Archons, you’re perfect.” He sounds about as frazzled as you did in that moment. This knowledge doesn’t do much to calm the erratic rhythm of your pulse but it does fill you with a helium sense of swelling pride. Even for all his cocky surety and self confidence, he was still a man with all the same weaknesses as any other. Getting his dick wet with some regularity hadn’t yet changed that. 

“Fuck me, Childe.” You groan, for his benefit as much as your own. “Fuck me hard. Please.” 

Letting out a slow, faltering breath, he obliges you and starts to move. Angles his hips back in torturous slow motion to ensure both of you felt the gradual drag of his cock against your interior in stunning high definition. Your guts try to cling to him again but the fleshy glide is smooth and sticky with arousal, and you whine low in your throat at the loss. Then he pushes back in with one long, drawn out thrust that slowly fills you up again. The tight press of his balls against your labia makes you shudder, and the involuntary reaction seems to bleed right through you into him. He trembles stiffly as well, gripping your ass cheeks so hard you were sure to find blooming splotches in the shape of his fingertips come morning, but the dull pain just excites you even more. You were soaked and only getting wetter. 

That fact becomes even more obvious when he starts to thrust in earnest, working his way up to settle into a fast, steady pace, and your pussy loudly squelches on each rapid fire plunge. The way he continues to hold you open while he fucks you doesn’t exactly help, and the resulting noise is almost enough to embarrass you. If it had been anyone else, anyone who was not as unapologetic and loutish as he was, you probably would’ve been wilting in shame. But Childe actually seems to enjoy it on some level, for he groans hotly in response when your cunt noisily slurps around his cock and the rhythmic plap of his hips meeting your skin quickly grows even sharper. 

Sliding one of his hands inward over the bouncing swell of your ass, he finds your abandoned hole again and starts to worm his thumb inside. Your already strained breaths catch at the penetration but he slips in past the ring of muscle just as easily as before. You feel indescribably stuffed now, your body singing in fast thrumming ecstasy while you wildly clench around both intrusions. 

“Fuck.” He hisses. “You get so damn tight when I do this.” 

Your cotton stuffed head is a little too shot to formulate a response now, so you just wail your pleasure for the whole villa to hear. That he’d likely planned for this to happen and picked out a rental destination with privacy at the forefront of his mind was obvious, and you couldn’t have been more grateful for it in that moment. You weren’t sure if you could have kept your volume in check even if you’d wanted to. 

Especially not when you already felt so sickeningly close to the edge that the weight of your impending orgasm very nearly chokes you up. You weren’t just going to cum. It felt like you were going to implode. 

“Ooh! Gods! Ch - Childe! I … oooh, shit, mm’gonna’ cum!”

The sound he barks out in response is like something between a laugh and a groan. Like he couldn’t quite decide which he wanted to do more. To your stumbling surprise, however, he doesn’t keep fucking into you. Doesn’t speed up or go harder to shove you over into the waiting abyss below, just out of reach and only getting further away when he abruptly stops instead. The sloshing water continues to move even when he doesn’t and it laps at your heated skin in a taunting caress. Failing to keep your reaction under control, you whip your head around to look back at him incredulously. 

“What are you doing!” You demand, a little more shrill than you’d intended. 

Childe pins you with a relatively steady yet still pained look from where he remains hunched over your bottom half. The way his battered knuckles seem to be turning white from how hard he’s gripping your ass does not escape your notice but it also does absolutely nothing to placate you. 

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m giving you exactly what you want, moja miłość.”

“What —“

His rumbling groan and the way he screws his eyes shut for a brief moment makes it clear that it’s just as difficult for him to fight the urge to keep rutting into you as it is for you to accept it. You don’t understand it though, why he would stop like that when you were so close, and you fix him with a wide eyed question as he gingerly rocks back to ease his cock out. You’re not sure if you should be pissed at him or not when he carefully stands up behind you, leaving his thumb stuffed in your ass for the time being, but you bite your tongue to stay any of the sharp remarks forming there. He had about ten seconds to make his next move and then you’d be taking matters into your own hands. Literally. 

Bending over you now, Childe curls his hand to push down on the inner rim of your asshole as if testing the give. You moan at the pressure, very softly, even though you try not to. Something clicks into place in your mind, and your gaze frantically darts between his darkened expression and his stiff cock where it dangles between his legs. Just the warm flicker of the candles is enough to make the wet skin glisten, so thoroughly coated in your slick that it almost looked like he was lubed up with sticky grease. It probably wouldn’t have been enough for your first, second or even third time but … he’d fucked your ass enough that your sphincter was well trained to accept him now. It was often the safer choice when an unplanned pregnancy could mean disastrous results for the both of you. 

But your pussy weakly contracts around nothing, missing the stretch and the weight of him inside of you. It wanted to be stuffed and filled, and pounded almost as much as your ass did, and you can’t stop yourself from whining when he pokes and prods at you some more before finally sliding his thumb out again. Feeling needy and desperate enough that you think you really might just cry, you plaintively shake your bottom at him in humble supplication. 

“Childe, please …” 

“Hush, pretty girl. I’m going to take care of you, don’t you worry about that.” 

Shuffling forward a pinch so that his feet bracket your knees, he reaches down to grip his cock at the base and then lowers himself in a wide legged crouch. He guides his cock straight to the center of your waiting, puffy hole, using his other hand to squeeze one of your cheeks and spread it from the other. You practically blubber at the first press of his blunt head even as you give a tiny little push to more easily accept the insertion. Childe takes it slow and easy though, giving your entrance a chance to adjust and accommodate him. Inch by tortuous inch, he slips inside until you feel the unmistakable pop when he fully breaches that fluttering ring of muscle. The rest of him comes much quicker after that, and much smoother. Your sphincter can’t close like this and it also can’t work to push him out. It tries, valiantly clenching around his thick length as if to find purchase along all that smooth skin, but it’s useless. He slides in right down to the hilt and seats himself inside you as far as he can go. 

The sound that finally rattles out of you is wild and stretched paper thin. Some sort of wordless animal noise that makes your eyes vibrate in their sockets. 

Heaving a deeply bothered sound of his own, Childe seems to hesitate a moment. Like he was finding his bearings and making sure he had a good grip on his own self control before starting up. His large hands squeeze around your waist, making love handles pudge up between his fingers, hard enough to make you wince. But it’s nothing compared to the intense drag along your guts when he at last begins to angle his pelvis back, using those long, somewhat gangly legs to pull out until only the glans remains wedged inside you. Your asshole eagerly spasms around the mind numbing penetration before he pushes back in, stretches it back out to the full width of his cock, and you outright shriek in delight. 

He settles into his pace much slower than he had when he was stuffing your cunt but it doesn’t take long for him to have a good rhythm going. Your ass isn’t half as noisy either, and the solid plap, plap, plap of his pelvis meeting your bouncing cheeks almost completely drowns out the sounds of soft, wet flesh clicking into place. Much to your groaning relief, the thrumming tension from before comes rushing right back up to the surface almost immediately, making you writhe underneath him. It was a slightly different sort of pressure but it was just as good. Just as potent. Hell, it may have even been better, considering how the deep plunge of his cock makes every single nerve ending in your lower body light up like a firework. Suddenly you didn’t mind so much that your drooling cunt was being neglected. 

“Harder.” You gasp, clutching the tub so tight your fingers hurt. “Fuck my ass harder, Childe!”

Groaning, he hunches further over you and does just that. With his front almost flush against your painfully arched back, his range of movement is much more limited and he can’t quite achieve those long, drawn out thrusts anymore. But to make up for it he ruts into you faster, humping you so enthusiastically it makes your tits bounce. The burning stretch rapidly becomes overwhelming and you simply allow yourself to ragdoll between him and the side of the bathtub, moaning loudly in ecstasy. 

His hands sliding off your sides with one final, possessive squeeze, he reaches one of them up your body to cup a swaying breast in his palm. Blunt fingers fumble to find your nipple, giving it a quick pinch and a tug to make you wail. The other slides down and dips between your thighs. Calloused digits brush over the apex of your mound, briefly caressing your swollen clit to make you judder and shake for him, before reaching further back. You’re so punchdrunk on fast pumping endorphins that you almost don’t even realize what he’s doing until it’s too late. At the last possible second it slams into you like a sack of bricks and you lurch under him with a frantic, startled shriek of pure joy. 

All at once, Childe shoves two of his fingers into your waiting cunt. A third quickly joins them and although the stretch is not nearly as satisfying as his cock, it still has you seeing damn near double while you sway inside the tub. His reach is quite limited from this angle so he can’t bury them in you straight down to the knuckle, but he insidiously curls them to press hard into your upper wall. Stars erupt across your vision at the intense pressure as your pussy absolutely floods with sticky slick. The throbbing pulse in your ass doubles and then triples, toeing the line of being unbearable now, but there was no escaping it. He had you so completely trapped under him that you couldn’t have scuttled away even if you’d tried. 

The only thing you can do is cry out and helplessly rock against him, pushed forward with each quick, piston-like thrust and then pulled back against him again with his hold on you. It was overwhelming in the best possible way. You’d never felt quite so fucked out as you do in that moment with both holes stuffed and aching, Childe’s cock relentlessly carving out a space within you for himself while his fingers attack that tight cluster of nerves just on the other side of your inner sleeve. His seemingly limitless energy reserves had never felt as much a blessing as it does right now. You weren’t sure how many other men could have kept up the effort in this, frankly, awkward position long enough for your orgasm to build up again but he does it with ease. His pace doesn’t even so much as falter when you start to shake in earnest, warning tremors tearing through your body faster than you can comprehend. He just tightens his hold on you and keeps going, slamming into your ass too quickly for you to brace against it. 

It felt like you were going to shatter into a million little pieces. 

“Ooh, sweetheart … you’re really soaking my fingers.” He manages to huff out, barely heard over your own mindless bleating. “I told you I’d take care of you, didn’t I? Huh?” Pausing, Childe turns his head to press a brief kiss to your trembling shoulder and then he laughs, breathless and thin. “You’re about to cum, aren’t you? I can feel how hard you’re squeezing me … ahh, fuck. I’m gonna’ cum too. You feel so damn good though, how could I not?” 

A wounded, highly undignified sound bursts out of you as your orgasm starts to really bear down on you now. The tension running through your body like a livewire is suffocating in its potency, and thinking about him shooting his load deep into your ass just makes it even worse. It felt like you were drowning in it, and you helplessly buck underneath him. His hold on you is as good as iron though and he keeps you clutched against him no matter how wild you get. 

The first trickle that comes out of you almost goes unnoticed, but you realize what’s happening the second time your pussy eagerly squirts all over his hand. Even in your fucked out state you’re acutely aware of it running down his wrist and dribbling down your inner thighs in warm, very noticeable rivulets. Childe groans when you do it a third time, as if the slick was being forced right out of you thanks to the building pressure in both holes, and you screw your eyes shut with a strangled scream. You almost couldn’t believe it but there was no denying the obscene amount of fluid coating your skin, and it only becomes all the more obvious when you at last tip over the edge. 

It’s the sound of his gruff, half strangled groan right next to your ear that finally does it. You cum with a lurching gasp, shaking so intensely he has to readjust the way he’s holding onto you to keep you in place. Your pulsating cunt erupts, shooting slick everywhere while your ass contracts around his cock in an uncontrollable series of spasms. You judder and writhe, twisting through your release even as he continues to fuck into you from behind. It’s as much to ride you through it as chase his own, and you let out a weak, thoroughly dazed mewl when Childe grunts his own pleasure just a short moment later. 

His cock eagerly twitches as it pumps your ass full and he goes still over top of you with a harried little whimper of his own. You can’t help the way you jolt at the sound, so sweet and vulnerable that it rushes straight to your well used cunt. You’re a bit too satiated in the aftermath to think about round two just yet though, so you focus on trying to catch your breath while he recovers enough to pull out. It takes a prolonged moment for him to get his bearings straight but, eventually, he carefully works to untangle himself from you, and then plops back to sit in the water. You didn’t doubt that that had been quite the workout on his legs and you almost start to feel sorry for him — but when you gingerly shift around to glance back at the troublesome Snezhnayan, he looks nothing if not pleased. Quite proud of himself, actually. 

“Are you sure that was supposed to be a gift for me?” You ask rather sweetly, offering him a knowing smile. “Or were you just challenging yourself and hoping to get a good workout in while you were at it?” 

“It was a treat for both of us.” He tells you candidly. “Don’t pretend like you didn’t like it. Just look at how pruned my fingers are!” 

He holds his hand out and you squint at the three middle fingers, noting that they were indeed rather wrinkled. You quickly reach up to shove at his wrist though, pushing him away so you can get turned the rest of the way around and fully face him. Your body throbs slightly as you get settled again, especially your stretched asshole, but it is a decidedly good kind of ache. The distant sensation of his cum sitting hot and heavy in your guts brings a dopey smile to your face, even when you try very hard to keep it at bay. For better or worse, Childe seemed to have that effect on you more often than not. 

“Alright, alright. We both enjoyed it. Me especially. Happy?” 

He positively grins from ear to ear. “Very.” 

Comfortable in the afterglow, you carefully draw your knees up and wrap your arms around them, just looking at him. He was much too charming for his own good, you decide for the upteenth time since you’d met back in Liyue. How you’d gotten here, sequestered in this quaint Fontaine villa out in the countryside, was probably anyone’s guess at this point but you were glad it had turned out this way. It was hard to imagine your life without him in it after he’d already wormed his way in. He wasn’t the sort of man one could easily forget, after all. 

“So what’s next on the itinerary?”

Childe hums in thought, his wide smile taking on a sly, mischievous edge now. “Wanna’ go into the bedroom and sit on my face for a while, girlie?” 

Your body stirs with immediate interest. You’d thought you were well sated for the time being but, well … Childe tended to have this effect on you too. It would have been incredibly frustrating had he not been oh so very fun to fool around with. 

Now you’re grinning too, an almost perfect mirror to his expression. “Is that even really a question?”

How would the characters react to the reader who can't eat fruit normally. The peach juice sticks everywhere and the grape explodes in her mouth. Purely random references

PURELY RANDOM REFERENCES OF A MID JULY AFTERNOON ahahahaah

THE READER CANNOT EAT FRUIT NORMALLY (AND THE ROR CHARACTERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT)

The Valkyries » They are speechless by your (lack of) skills in eating like everyone else, and all of them react in different ways: Brunhilde laughs like hell, Goll is shocked, Reginleif judges you shaking her head, Thrud and Randgriz take care of your face covered in juice, Hlokk screams because she is afraid to get dirty, Hrist screams too because it is impossible to be such a mess.

Poseidon » Completely disgusted by your imperfection, walks away and leaves you alone in your misery, sending you to hell.

Jack » Smiling, he gently pulls out a handkerchief and wipes your mouth, while checking your clothes. Then cuts the fruit to help you eat them in a civilized way.

The Hindu Pantheon » All the Gods and Goddesses start to act like a circus at the sight of you VS. the fruit: Shiva laughs loudly and incites you to put more strength into the battle, Rudra tries not to laugh but miserably fails, Indra giggles, Varuna uses his powers to clean the stains on your clothes, Agni is sincerely worried (he baby 🥺), Vishnu covers his eyes to not see this horrible show, Brahma is disappointed. Parvati, Kalì and Durga help you stay clean and scold Shiva.

Nostradamus » “WOOOO, do it again!”, he whispers while staring at you completely amazed, and then he joins you.

Zerofuku » He looks at you without knowing what to do and say, he finds you funny but a little too wild... should he stop you?

Hajun » Probably he is the one who taught you to eat fruit this way.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong » Lu Bu laughs, entertained by you and eating fruit in your exact way, while Chen Gong looks at you both in discomfort: he tried to teach you methods to eat normally, but you didn't listen to him and now he has to clean everything, including you.

Hades » He looks at you furious: what kind of behavior is it? You need a course of lessons to learn how to eat like a classy person, and he will be your teacher. Start screaming and crying, because he is going to be adamant.

Kojiro » He looks at you giggling and accepting your unconventional way of eating fruit without complaining at all, you are perfect just the way you are, even in this case!

Adam and Eve » Eve sighs and slightly smiles at your stained clothes, while Adam stares at you in silence. And eats in your same way.

Raiden » He laughs and hands you out more fruits to make a disaster with.

Leonidas » A lot of cursing and yelling and methods to let you stay clean, like hanging you upside down while you are eating. He complains a lot about the matter, while you can't help but laugh (and choke on the fruit).

The Seven Lucky Gods » WHY. JUST... W H Y. Bishamonten stares at you in totally disappointment, arms strictly crossed on the chest and the expression even grumpier than usual, while Benzaiten makes fun of you with her biwa, composing songs on your incapacity; Hoteison goes the extra mile to not aggravate the situation and keeps your mouth and clothes clean while Ebisu is yelling all the time, Daikokuten laughs with Fukurokuju and Jurojin stares at the whole situation in embarrassment.

Qin Shi Huang » He screams in shock and horror at the sight of the mess you are making, and banishes you from his presence. Hmm, I think it is the right time to chase him with your dirty hands... 😏

The Science Crew » They all stare at you, amazed. You are an interesting case to study, so they watch you eat all the fruits you want and take notes of your behaviour, with the clear intention to put you to test more and more.

Apollo » He turns his head with a disgusted expression and gives a whole speech about how grace is fading from the world and only he retains it, not noticing you are wiping your mouth on his clothes.

Aphrodite » She can't look at you without giggling softly, you are a walking mess, yes, but also you are so cuuuuteeee with the little face covered in juice and the starry eyes while you enjoy your meal 😍

Hermes » As soon as he sees what is happening, he runs to you to wipe your mouth and acts like a butler, taking good care of you. However, he laughs to death internally, finding you interesting...

Buddha » He laughs uncontrollably and starts a competition with you to see who devours more fruits in ten minutes. The place ends in total chaos but both you have the time of your life.

Kintoki » He stares at you silently, too many thoughts in his head; then you stare back at him and he hands you out more fruits, in a never ending cycle.

Adamas » He screams and makes a total drama, while you keep eating in total tranquility and shake your head

Loki » Hmmmm, your face, arms, hands and even chest seem so sweet now, can he lick you? Yes? YES? YEEEES?

Ares » This pic is more clear than any speech, and speaks louder:

Odin » Only one word: OUTRAGEOUS. His gaze burns you to the ashes, you better go away with your poor fruit...

Heracles » He laughs by heart and stares at you eating with a soft expression, this good puppy finds you funny and so innocent * ^ *

Been thinking about how silver has been crying every chapter update, he has also been gong through trauma/negative emotions from dealing with malleus, helping sebek, then dream lilia telling him that he’d stay with silver only for silver to deny that fact, and then we have this chapter with past lilia.

Past lilia who denys wanting a family and past lilia who blocked an attack for silver. The way he screamed breaks my heart.

So I can’t help but wonder if they are trying to OB silver as well, didnt silver mention to snap him out of it if he ever falls to the ink? Is this implying that in the future he might?

Then you add on the fact that he is technically using his UM this entire time, even if he is asleep. It’s draining him.

What if he OBs?

(And as much as it would be fun and interesting and angsty to see two OBs fights, wether together or against each other)

I feel that Malleus will see this and somehow absorb Silver’s OB, making Malleus to finally go off that end to the frenzy phrase we usually see.

And this is what kills Malleus, this saving silver will kill him and turn him to dust like how Maleficient did in the second movie (or maybe it would just be his body that’s been put to sleep)

And maybe it will be Silver’s tears that brings him back like it did with aurora and maleficient. Silver has been crying every chapter after all.

(We could also use these same points with lilia as well interchangeably)

Monkey Man and why I loved the heck out of it

At it's core, it's a Bollywood flick presented to the West with familiar nods to previous action films - I definitely picked up hints of Tony Jaa's influence on Asian action flicks throughout.

It's heavily focused on police corruption, something commented a lot about in India, and here, more importantly, Indian films. Just like America has its love affair with mobster flicks, Bollywood has a long history featuring films that showcase police corruption, sometimes tied into political extremism, fanatical or greedy religious leaders, and Monkey Man comments on all this as well and pays nods to that commonality. We've got televangelists and religious leaders in the states funnelling money, preaching prosperity gospel, and using it to influence politics and fund lavish lifestyles here.

Monkey Man shows this happening in India, and is filled with Indian culture and symbolism through out. The focus on Hanuman, the god and one worshiped by the strong, chaste, wrestlers, champions, and fighters. It's a common thing to have a household deity if you will. Some families might choose to focus worship on Ganesh, others Hanuman, some might do Mata Rani or Lakshmi. Here, it's the divine Vanara (monkey people race) - one of the Chiranjivi - immortals/forever-lived.

Hanuman. Themes of rebirth, common in South Asian history and mythology are present from Kid being a ringer, beat up fighter getting whooped for money to being reborn and facing his trauma through a ritual/meditate process that I don't want to get too much into to not spoil the movie. Post that, he begins his own self alchemy to really become the true Monkey Man. Nods to Ramayama, and an unapologetically Indian story featuring dialogues throughout in Hindi - don't worry, there are subtitles.

And of course a love for action flicks before it, all the way back to Bruce Lee. A beautiful use tbh of an autorickshaw (and you might know them as tuk-tuks in Thailand) which are popular in India with an added kick...I swear, that thing had to be modified with a hayabusa motor. Which is an actual thing people do - modding those dinky rickshaws with motorcycle engines, and considering they weigh nothing at all, they can REALLY FLY once you do that.

Monkey Man brings to the big screen other elements of India people might not know about, such as the gender non conforming and trans community that has a long history in India, presenting them as action stars as they go up against a system of corrupt elites oppressing part of the city, marginalized communities, and minority voices as depicted in the film. I'm not sure if people are going to get all of that without having the context, but I love that it does it without holding anyone's hands.

It's a fun action flick to see in the age of superhero films, and I say that as an obvious superhero/sff nerd. Also loved that Dev included a little bit about Hanuman's own story in the film, and the loss of his powers - almost mirrored by Kid's own loss of self/skills, strength until he confronts his trauma and is reborn, and in fact, remade (not necessarily the same). Also, the use of music was brilliant, including one scene with a tabla (the paired hand drums of south asia) - and Indian music is central to Indian stories.

This is a culture with evidence going back to the Paleolithic with cave murals showing art of Indian dance nearly 30,000 years ago. Yeah, that far back. As well as Mesolithic period art depicting musical instruments such as gongs, lyres, and more.

Indian music is some of the earliest we can find that has high developed beat and rhythm structures such as 5, 7, 9 and now the extremely common and known 4/4 and 3/4 - which so much of Western music is built upon. The foundations and experimentation of/in Jazz. John Coltrane and John Cage were heavily inspired by Indian music and incorporated a lot from it into their works. And Monkey Man blends Eastern and Western music through the narrative as comfortably as it does an Indian story in a very familiar Western accessible structure.

Dev did a wonderful job. And thanks to Jordan Peele for bringing it to screens.

Some Highly Recommended Kdrama

My pal @troubled-mind asked me if I had any recommendations for good kdramas to watch, and my answer to that is: literally always. I put together this short list for them and decided to share in case anyone else is interested.

Parameters for this list: modern setting, strong focus on friendship dynamics, mix of genres, avoid university settings, no one-sided romantic pursuits, and no terribly sad endings

Be Melodramatic/Melo Is My Nature (Viki)

Fantastic friendship focused drama about a group of close friends who all move in together in the wake of personal crises. A healing drama that includes a couple love lines. And an out gay side character (still extremely rare for mainstream kdrama, unfortunately). This one will make you laugh and cry.

Happiness (Viki)

Pandemic zombies attack! Now I am not really a zombie person, but I absolutely love this show. It’s about a pair of working class besties who decide to get married in order to win a housing lottery (one of them may or not be hoping this fake marriage turns real), then immediately get caught in a lockdown with all their new neighbors when there’s a zombie virus outbreak. Shenanigans ensue! This is more action thriller than horror, and the two main characters are some of my all time favs. The writing, plotting, and pacing are tight as hell and it’s a rare perfect 10 for me on that front.

Coffee Prince (Viki)

MY BELOVED. This is an absolute classic genderbend kdrama that I’ve watched several times. The show that made Gong Yoo famous. An honest to goodness queer narrative about a chaebol who meets a girl pretending to be a boy for poverty reasons, falls in love, and has a bisexual awakening. This show was way ahead of its time even if it doesn’t use our modern language (you will not hear the words trans, non-binary or bi/pansexual but trust me, they’re there). Also features a fun friend group who all work together at the coffee shop. I try to make everyone watch this one, and recently got @bengiyo and @kyr-kun-chan to watch and validate my read of the story, and they enjoyed it a lot despite the messy hets. Be warned though that this drama is old old, so you’ll need to adjust to the visuals.

Fight for My Way (Viki)

My all time favorite friends to lovers drama, this is a coming of age tale of two best friends and their long journey to getting on the same page about romance. Their dynamic is fantastic and the story is mostly set in their early adulthood as they try to establish themselves in careers and make sense of their bond as adults. Also features their close friends who form a fun little group with them. And Park Seo Joon, a god among drama actors.

Hospital Playlist (Netflix)

If you want excellent friendship dynamics, look no further. This show is all about a group of five friends who met in college and have stuck together for over two decades and all of life’s ups and downs. The story begins when they find themselves all working in the same hospital for the first time since med school and decide to restart their old band. Yes, there will be singing, and no, you don’t have to cover your ears - the cast is stacked with South Korea’s best musical theater talent. This drama is slice of life and takes us through a couple years with them as they reforge their bonds and each deal with their own family baggage and love lives.

Misaeng (Netflix)

My all time favorite workplace drama that has the unique distinction of being the only show to ever make me literally burst into happy tears. No romance in this one. Story centers on a former baduk prodigy (think if Reply 1988 Taek stalled out instead of becoming a master) who attempts to enter the workforce with no discernible skills. He bumbles and fumbles and alternately competes with and bonds with his fellow interns, and forms a deep and lasting relationship with his mentor. When I tell you this show is a master class in writing to create emotional stakes, phew! How else can you explain me getting deep in my feelings over the success or failure of an import/export company?

My Mister (Netflix or Viki)

This one is a bit darker, as it deals with themes of intergenerational trauma, abuse, poverty, depression, and general ennui. Not a romance, this drama focuses on the strange and unexpected bond that forms between a middle aged man and a younger woman working on his team. They meet at an important inflection point in both their lives and forge a friendship that changes them both. Really moving and utterly beautiful, with an ending that will make you feel happy to be alive.

Extraordinary You (Viki)

Time for a change up! This is a fantasy show in which the main character becomes self aware and realizes she is a side character in a manwha. Technically set in a school (inside the manwha) but not actually about that. She bonds with another side character who is self aware, and the two of them start working to change the story so that they can break free (and fall in love while doing it, naturally). The concept of this one is just so cool and they do a lot of interesting things with it, plus the visuals are stunning.

The Uncanny Counter (Netflix)

Because I know you liked Oh No! Here Comes Trouble, I’m adding this one about a kid who discovers he has superpowers and teams up with a little found family of grim reapers to fight evil. The family unit is great and there’s lots of good stuff in their various relationships with each other. This one is a lot of fun but also touches on the characters’ sad backstories and family lives.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (Viki)

You said to avoid university settings but I’m adding this one in case you want to give a classic college romance a try. My fav in that category, it’s a sports romance between a weightlifter and a swimmer who used to be childhood friends and reconnect in college while they’re struggling with performance issues, body image, and romance. It’s a friends to lovers slow burn and they are utterly adorable.

If you like any of these, let me know and I can give you more recs!! Y’all can hit me up anytime, getting other people to watch my fav shows is one of my number one joys in life.

Since ur writing requests... Hear me out on a Cole or Kai x m!reader🤭 like reader is like the most ethereal mf u could ever see and they r just nervous talking to reader about anything simple(it doesn't have to be a story it can be headcanon things!!!!)

ALRIGHT MY FIRST COMMISION HERE YOU GOOOOOOOOO! This thing is pretty detailed, but the tiny details can be changed with the power of your imagination. Now, here you go!

Kai x male reader oneshot!

Takes place in season 4, episode 2, Only One Can Remain.

Dancer boy

"Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned." Chen said as he motioned to the Elemental masters he spoke of.

The Elemental masters sat in a circle, just as Chen had planned. Not a single one of the invited was missing. The ninja kept their expressions schooled, for they couldn't show weakness in front of their future competition. Chen swayed on his chair like a child looking down at all his birthday party guests before pointing to a gong settled next to his chair.

"This symbol before you is for the fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: Only one can remain." The gong indeed had a symbol on it, a long snake with teeth sharp enough to bite through skin and bone: An Anacondrai. Chen then pressed a button on his chair, and the gong moved out of the way, revealing a bracket of how the tournament would go.

"Good, looks like we're each in our own bracket. We won't have to face each other for a while." Kai said in relief as Lloyd turned to him.

"Better find Zane before that happens." As Lloyd spoke, Chen's right hand man, Clouse brought him a chest, from which Chen pulled out a jade-green sword.

"Behold, a Jadeblade. Here, it represents life. Obtain it, move on. Allow your opponent to take it, loser. The rules are simple. Every match will be different. No two fights will be the same. Your powers will keep you in the Tournament. Use it or lose it." Chen explained as Karlof spoke up.

"Hm, what does Karlof win?"

"Win and stay on the island. Win it all, and you'll receive fortunes beyond your wildest dreams, and lifetime supply of Master Chen noodles. But no one is here because of noodles! You want the glory of being the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago!" Chen yelled as the Elemental masters, excluding the ninja, all cheered loudly.

"And what happens if they lose?" Garmadon's question cut through the cheering.

"Lose? Who here likes to lose?!" Chen asked sarcastically as everyone, excluding the ninja again, laughed.

"Now please, enjoy my island. It's a super fun happy place. Hahaha. Fun time on me. Oh, oh! But don't go just yet, I have a little show prepared for you all." Chen's words made Kai scoff and roll his eyes. Show? Really now? He didn't believe anything good would come of this. Chen clapped again as the main doors, which the elemental masters had come in from just a while ago, opened again.

A group of Chen's Kabuki started giggling in the corner as they hid their faces with their fans. Clouse threw them a glare, and they quieted down. There was a second of peace and quiet until Kai heard Griffin whistle, and one person whose name Kai didn't know let out a quiet "Wow..."

Now Kai's interest was peeked, and he finally turned to the door. Kai's eyes widened as his eyes fell onto the figure of a person dressed in elegant (f/c) robes. Slow footsteps sounded as the person walked to the center of the hall. Kai's eyes were now following the figure as they bowed to Chen. Chen laughed with a prideful smile before speaking up.

"I hereby present to you all, a dance like no other! Give it all you got." The last part was said as a command to the figure, who moved into a still pose, their eyes staring hazily at the floor as their hair fell slightly onto their face.

Suddenly a slow song started playing on the speakers littered around the hall, and the figure started moving. The movements were small, but they were smooth. The (f/c) robes draped and dragged behind the person as they danced. Kai's jaw fell open, and refused to close, no matter how hard he tried.

"Hmm... Not quite Chen's style." Garmadon pondered as he sipped down a cup of tea.

The person moved gracefully as their expression matched the tranquil tone of the song. Suddenly the pace of the music picked up, and so did the dancing. The calm swinging and spinning turned to sharp turns and jumps.

The dancers expression turned sterner, as he slid down to the floor. The choreography was something Kai had never seen before, and it made his eyes force themselves to keep open, refusing to miss even a second of the ongoing show.

Suddenly the person lifted their leg up, and Kai's face warmed up. There was another whistle from Griffin turner as the slit in the dancers robes revealed the persons leg. They were wearing short leg-wear resembling shorts, thankfully, but even one leg lift was enough to expose the rest of their leg.

The choreography lead the dancer to stand up again, as they threw their head back, making their (h/c) hair move along with them. The pace suddenly kicked up, before slowing down after a single, yet surreally high, leg throw. The music slowed down as the person slid to a pose on one knee, and the music stopped.

There was a moment of silence before Chen started clapping and cheering. The silence having been cut, elemental master after elemental master joined in the applause as the dancer relaxed, stood up, and bowed to Chen yet again.

"Thank you, (y/n)! That was amazing! Ah, It's probably good to mention, but (y/n) is also an esteemed guest of mine. He will join you during breakfast and lunch and so on." Chen explained as Griffin smirked behind his glasses. Kai noticed, and immediately threw the master of speed a glare.

"Now, you will be shown to your rooms." Chen added as a line of kabuki arrived and guided the fighters to their rooms. kai wasn't paying attention though. He stared after this (y/n) boy as he sighed, then walked into a room further away on the same floor as Kai's. After a few minutes of thinking about what just happened, Kai shook it away and left his room with the intention of exploring the place a little.

The first thing he saw made his blood boil. In front of the dancer boy's room stood Griffin, who knocked on it before calling out nonsense after nonsense.

"Could you at least open the door? You're being quite cold to me." And he knocked again. Kai then heard the voice of a boy speak up in a calm yet annoyed tone.

"Please, go away."

"How about we go on a walk? I already checked out the entire yard of this place and its pretty neat.

"Please, go away." Griffin received the exact same answer in the exact same tone. But Griffin made no move to leave.

"What abou-" Before Griffin could finish another sentence, Kai walked up to him.

"Hey. He told you to go away." Now that Kai had stepped up to Griffin, the master of speed grumbled before snapping at him.

"This is none of your business."

"It is, if you keep this up. I doubt Chen would be happy to hear someone was harassing another guest, hmm?"

"You-...Tch." Griffin let out before turning away and leaving. Kai scoffed at the master of speed before glancing at the door. He opened his mouth to say something, but instead just shook his head and left to continue exploring.

Then came the first challenge, Kai barely managed to move on while Karlof lost, and was thrown down to who knows where. The sun was starting to set, yet it wasn't too late to hang around yet. The ninja had planned to go exploring at midnight, but Kai had nothing to do before that.

So instead he took a stroll in the yard alone. He remembered Griffins words and hoped the man was speaking the truth when he said the place was 'pretty neat'. And surprisingly, neat it was. Kai at the pretty scenery before noticing something, no, someone sitting at the edge of a small man-made pond filled with colorful fishes. The person had sunk their feet into the water and stared at the lily pads floating over the water surface, until they too, noticed Kai.

It was the dancer boy, (y/n). Kai froze in place, and didn't know what to do. (y/n) just turned back to stare at the water as Kai stood still. His nerves kicking in, and remembering the leg lift from before, Kai turned on his heel and tried to leave, when (y/n) called to him.

"Not even going to say hello?"

"N-no, I m-mean yes, but I, ugh..." Kai's words got caught up in his throat, and he stopped trying. He turned back around and met (y/n)'s gaze as the boy stared at him silently. He was no longer wearing a set of different robes that constructed his beautiful looking dance outfit, and instead wore only the innermost white robe.

"Thank you." (y/n) suddenly spoke.

"H-huh?" Kai let out as (y/n) leaned his head on one of his knees.

"For helping earlier."

"Oh, I-I din't realize you saw me-" Kai lifted his hand and scratched his neck bashfully, when he was suddenly cut off.

"I didn't, I just recognized you from your voice." Kai stopped, before erupting in a blush of embarrassment. Suddenly (y/n)'s expression, which had been neutral the whole time, turned into a small smile as he chuckled. Kai's embarrassment disappeared and was replaced with a swarm of butterflies in his stomach.

"Sit with me?" (y/n) offered Kai, who took his time thinking about it, before he finally agreed.

"S-s-sure...!" The two shared a few words, nothing special, for Kai was too much of a nerve wrack to say much.

"What is your name?" (y/n) asked.

"It's Kai." Kai answered after clearing his throat. (y/n) nodded in aknowledgement before flashing him a smile.

"And your surname?"

"Smith." Kai answered as (y/n) turned away and giggled to himself.

"Hmm... Kai Smith... Ehehe..." Kai knew, he was either blessed with an angel, or this boy would give him a heart attack.

(,,>﹏<,,)

And as a little bonus...

"Yo." A voice said from next to the table where the ninja were eating breakfast the next day.

"Ugh, didn't you hear?! I said it's private!" Suddenly Jay stopped as the others turned to the one who spoke. Surprisingly, it was not Mr. Pale, who Jay had expected to be there, and instead there stood (y/n) with his breakfast tray. He was no longer wearing robes, whether those were simple white ones or regal ones for dancing. Now it was just a loose t-shirt and a pair of shorts.

"(y-(y/n)!" Kai stuttered out as (y/n) flashed the team a nervous smile. Kai looked behind (y/n) to noticed that Griffin was eyeing them from afar, and quickly scooted over to give (y/n) space to sit with them. Kai tired to scoot further away, but since there were people already sitting with him, he was forced to sit shoulder to shoulder with the (h/c) haired boy. Cole noticed the look Kai was giving (y/n) and sighed.

"Oh boy, first Skylor, now him?"

Dang, this stuff oneshot stuff is difficult, I hope it isn't too lame.

Was it my imagination?

Pag 5

Pag 6

1: My line!! Orange!!

Honestly, I'm surprised!!

2: I'm number 4, the ace climber, and I'm a Hakogaku third year

Honestly, during the last year both my power and my acceleration 

3: have increased by several steps!!

4: Is that so!!

5: There are practically no sprinters within the club who can keep up with me!!

6: But you did

You didn't just stick to me from behind, you lined up!!

You got stronger since last year!!

5: What's wrong, San-na, what's this

6: Are you about to say something secret you can't let the spectators hear?

Pag 10

1: you counter it firmly with the trunk of your body!!

2: Didn't they just make contact with each other while taking the curve!?

Waaaa

Sohoku's number 4 pushed back that huge guy from Hakogaku with his hips!!

3: Buah!!

You're the only one

4: You're the only one who can make me shake like this!!

Pag 11

2: They hit each other again!! It's a super close combat!!

So what’s the deal with all your banging around since earlier, then?

Ah, that?

3: Is this a request?

You mean you want me to show you

Pag 12

1: the true essence of my special explosive acceleration!?

Okay then, watch closely!!

4: His movements are so fast!!

Get in

Get in

Get in

Pag 16

1: All together there are six levels!!

This year I divided my acceleration in six stages!!

2: Six stages!!

Seriously!?

Pag 17

1: And by the way, my acceleration from earlier was “unbleached silk” the second stage

2: Did it feel fast!?

3: Naturally, once we get before the sprint line I'll use

4: the sixth one, “golden yellow”!!

Pag 18

3: Dammit

4: So there's also things like this in the Inter High

Seriously?

5: Now I understand the reason for our hard practice and for the harshness of training camp

Without that I wouldn't have been able to fight on this stage

Pag 19

1: Issa and Doubashi..... just when I thought the sprint fight was narrowed down to those two.....

2: Another person comes chasing!!

3: Did he break away from the pack behind and got here!? He wasn't there with us earlier!!

In such a short time he shook everyone off and chased us!?

4: Even though I've been pedaling at full throttle since earlier, he keeps getting closer!!

5: So there's also things like this!? At the Inter High!!

Pag 20

1: It's filled with monsters!!

Hayaaaa

2: But that's fine by me

I thought my part was over....

But there's still work left to do!! I won't let this guy get to the lead!!

Since the live show is like six years (a long time!) in-game after the two-shot, a fun thing I've been thinking about is that the Nein should be allowed new items for fun. so, here's a thought experiment:

You can give each member of the Nein one (1) item that is very rare or lower rarity to have during the live show, but it must be kind of funny to have (broadly construed) while still being a sensible item that makes sense to acquire and to have and that they would reasonably be interested in owning and using.

You don't have to do all of the Nein. Homebrewed items that appeared in CritRole or ExU are allowed. No cursed or sentient items nor Vestiges or Arms of the Betrayers (both are too high rarity anyway); they are not sensible or reasonable. Do not suggest things replacing an item a character would not reasonably replace, i.e. no new primary weapons for Fjord. Say why you think it's funny; it doesn't have to be a whole comedy and can be as simple as, for example, adding further to Beau's movement speed is amusing to you.

Some—not all, because this is getting long, but I DO have more—of my personal pitches are:

Mistral Mantle (very rare) for Fjord. Sleet storm but you're unaffected by the drawbacks is giving him more options for woe, untoward weather that affects everyone but me be upon ye! It's also funny to imagine people getting knocked over by wintry winds just bc Fjord walked at them. Thank you, Wildmother!

Armor of Safeguarding (very rare) for Fjord. Because he absolutely needs an additional +27-30 hit points to his already stupid number of hit points AND let's throw "Beacon of Hope without concentration" into a party that is already difficult to work with due to the double cleric situation. :D

Ring of the Orator (uncommon) for Jester. Let her say hi to everyone in a mile radius!

Orb of Gonging (common) for Caduceus. The man who bought a death whistle and played it in a park deserves it.

Bottle of Boundless Coffee (common). The Nein already have TWO Flasks of Perpetual Booze, so... and they all need it right now, tbh.

There's a lot of good items to be had even if they're not per se funny (let Caleb have a Staff of Power!), but remember this is specifically about what's kind of funny to have while still being realistic. So, with all the caveats and "rules" above, pitch out some new items that you think would be amusing for the Nein to have in the live show.

#there's a specific item suggestion that I left off for Fjord that's SO funny to see how many people add it #tbh Fjord is funny to give items bc his mechanics make everything hilarious and he's item lite and has slots and his personality #Critical Role #Critical Role things
