#I don't think I've ever seen a wet bird either

I saw your requests were open! I've seen in some concept art that Miles is trying out watercolor, can you (when you have the time and if you want to, ofc) please write a reader (Gn or fem) who is really good at watercolor and is a artist and teaches him? Either romantic or platonic work :D thank you, I love your work so much!!!
omg wait I used to do watercolor I still have the paints at home...hold my beer (I went with platonic)
Miles sucked his teeth as the pinks, blues, and green he had just put down ran together and formed a puddle in the middle of the paper.
No matter how many YouTube videos he sped through, he couldn't seem to grasp how the disembodied hand on his screen could lay down all that color (without the paper shriveling up like a raisin) and manage to sculpt it into something...comprehensible.
Just then, he remembered the scanned painting you had sent him the other day. It was a vibrant forest, dotted with bright neon flowers and birds dozing off in high branches. He couldn't for the life of him figure out how you managed to capture beams of sunlight in your heavy sketchbook and needed to learn your secrets, so he'd borrowed some leftover paints.
Miles had already mastered sketching, and knew his way around a box of markers. He could even command a messy can of spray paint. What's a bit of watery paint?
...A lot, it turns out. At any rate, he knew just who to call.
After a few beeps, your face appeared onscreen.
You were still in bed, surrounded by an army of stuffed animals with a sleeping mask pushed up to your forehead. Miles made a 'tsk' sound. It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Rise and shine, bestie!" he announced loudly into his phone speaker.
"What do you want?" you grumbled, rubbing your eyes.
"This watercolor shit is blowing my mind right now, and I need your expertise. Look!"
Miles flipped the camera to show you the blob of what was now a bright indigo pooled in the middle of his would-be masterpiece.
You squinted. "Jesus. Is that in your regular sketchbook, where you do the markers and shit?"
"Yup."
"Well, there's your first problem. You're using the wrong kinda paper."
"So that's why no one in those videos fucks it up? Noted,"
He reversed the camera again.
"What about the colors? Mine keep running together when I don't want 'em to."
This made you laugh, imagining Miles slapping a ton of different colors on top of a sketch like a child learning to paint in kindergarten for the first time, thinking that he knew what he was doing. He was never the patient type, preferring fast and loose marks with sharp edges. No piece of his was ever allowed an "ugly stage"; it either worked immediately or it would end up crumpled into a ball in the trash.
Oh boy, was he was gonna learn today.
You could see Miles pouting through the camera.
"What's so funny?"
"Miles," you snorted, "did you let the first layer dry before adding more colors?"
His eyes widened in realization, triggering more peals of laughter.
"I just wet the whole page, then started coloring! How was I supposed to know?"
"It's water, dumbass! It's not like your lil' Copic markers--"
"Prismacolor--"
"Whatever. Anyways, gimme fifteen minutes, I'm coming over to save you before you flood your entire room."

Will adult birds eat too much if you let them? I remember you said something a while ago about bug having an uncomfortable crop bc she ate too much, and given the general joke around here is "peafowl have 0 braincells" do you have to control how much food you give them? I feel like that'd be hard, cuz they live in a big flock and if you give them too little(ie: not more than a single bird can defend) the boss bird will eat it all? So was bug just an idiot bc she's a chick?
They won't eat too much regular dry feed, and should have access to feed during all waking hours. Even Bug won't eat too much regular feed.
What they WILL gorge on is treats or high-value foods. Things like wet feed, bugs, small animals, meats, fruits etc. I came home once to Eris looking like she was choking on something, with a huge lump halfway down her throat, and (thinking it was a piece of plastic or something, or that she was actually CHOKING and not just being an idiot) when I wrestled her to the ground and worked it out of her, it was an entire quail egg, still whole and unbroken that she'd just horked down for some reason.
They're also not super mean when it comes to treats, usually, and I've never seen a peafowl keep all birds away from a feed bin the way boss chicken hens will sometimes do. I've never had to add a second feeder for that purpose, with the peafowl. I don't see them typically defend "all treats" either, so much as defending "my treat." They ARE dirty little thieves who will steal a treat from another bird, so that's valid. The most I usually see is a bird getting too close to another bird while treats are on the ground, and getting chased a few feet off to prevent direct theft. Even among the youngsters, Wendy (bottom of the totem pole) still gets treats at the same time as everyone else, even though she does get moved around when she gets too close.
And even when they DO really like a treat, I've only rarely seen them overeat. More often, they'll eat what they want, and then walk away even if there's still treats on the ground. I've only seen a couple of people ever ask what their bird is doing when they make that "uncomfortably full" face and it's often mistaken for a respiratory or gapeworm issue, but crop adjustments are VERY distinct from those motions. So, some adults still do it occasionally. But it's not that big of a concern, in the end.

Hi my sweetheart writer,
I'm in love with your fics and I want to make a little request... I really wanted a fic about sandman x reader +18 (neutral gender but with vg) where after y/n gets the song "mr sandman" in her head she starts to draw the perpetual and his family, but mostly him. So one day at the park while drawing in the journal y/n daydreams again and is snapped out of her reverie by hearing a crow. y/n starts drawing the bird until she hears the animal speak. They looked around to make sure there wasn't a person around and then looked back at the crow, catching a glimpse of the man from their paintings and drawings right there. Y/n rubs her eyes and sees the crow again. Thinking they're tired of the day they huff and pack up their stuff walking out of the park while humming the song again.
I think I've said too much hehe but thanks and keep being such a sweet and good writer! 🥰
Everything you asked for | Morpheus

synopsis: Isn't funny how some musics don't stop playing on your mind? Usually people hate this, but you don't. That was such a great song. If only you could remember where you listen to it first. [1K]
ps: thanks for your request darling. I take my time on it (english is a language I am still learning), I am so sorry for making you, such a sweet thing, wait, but I really do hope you like it! 💕💕💕
Tumblr media
There we're nothing you couldn't do with a pencil in your hands. No feeling you couldn't express, no tought you couldn't explain, no reality you couldn't imitate or create. Drawing wasn't just a interest, it was a passion, a routine, a future.
Yet, you couldn't understand what was happening. You look at the paper where you start drawing a landscape and now you see the shape of a set of different characters.
That we're one that exhale lust, you painted him with red and red only. A woman who made you feel peacefull was sit across the park, looking at the birds. A elegant woman with books on her hands was laying under a tree, and not even the sun stopped her from wearing all black. But what seens more interesting was the man at the center of the paper. He was wearing a mask that remind you of those plague doctors and different then those others he wasn't looking at something at the landscape: he was looking at you.
It would be normal if you only remember drawing it. You don't even remember to think about drawing them. It was not something so unusual, sometimes your mind can get distracted and your hands still move the pencil, but not like this. Not so many times.
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
A few days after you notice that you we're drawing the same characters again and again a song get stucked in your head. Now, when you start working on your art projects you do with a sweet melody playing on your mind. At first it was just a harmony, a warm feeling inside your heart, but then the lyrics found a way into your mouth. After you learn the lyrics and hearing them so often that you we’re able to sung them backwards, you stopped forgeting about your drawings.
You do remember being by your room and suddenly feeling energetic. You do remember looking for your best pencils and choosing a comfortable way to sit. You do remember closing your eyes and letting your hand guide the pencil. And you do remember opening your eyes to see the figure of a pale man with no clothes into a glass globe.
It was weird, but a least you remembering doing it.
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen
It was a calm morning. It wasn’t too hot or too cold, either too dry or too wet, not too quiet or too loud. Calm was a great word to describe it. You could stay into your house and enjoy the free time you had before work, but you choose something different that time: to go to a park.
You we’re drawing some pigeons that we’re being fed by a old lady. Your mind wasn’t paying attention to anything other the journal at your left hand and the pencil at the right one. You couldn’t even say you we’re focousing on your new art work: you we’re basically daydreaming while drawing.
Until you heard a crow. “Hello”, he caw.
Give him two lips like roses and clover
“Hello”, you responded, laughing to yourself.
You always found funny how no one speaks about that crows also talks. A parrot talking is normal, even famous because of those pirate tales, but a crow talking is weird, uncomfortable, scary. The nature prove that this is normal, you are a human being after all, but it seens wrong when a crow talks.
In the center of a group of pigeons being fed, you start drawing a black crow. You started with a faint stroke draft, just sketching a silhouette and some less obvious detals, while murmuring to yourself the song your we’re fixed.
“Hello”, the crow talked againg. Ready to asnwer him with a great chance of seem crazy to people walking trought the park, your looked at him. And you didn’t saw a crow.
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
It was just a glimpse. A pale men, with that plague doctor mask, and a black cape that hides all his body. And then, again, just a crow. Just a glimpse, less than a second of that strange image, but it still making you take all your things and run to your home.
You saw your drawing. You didn’t have a explanation for it to be so real, but you know what you saw and that makes you affraid of yourself. You must be going crazy. What could explain this? You draw things and don’t remember doing it, you sing a song that you never listen to before, you saw a character we’re a crow was supposed to be: you are insane.
Don't have nobody to call my own
Locked in your bedroom you breath in and breath out, trying to make yourself calm. It was just a rough week. You probably we’re almost sleeping and just dreaming while half of your brain was still awake. Nothing to care about. Nothing to be scare about.
You gave your boss a weak excuse for you to not go to work and stay inside your house for the whole day. You simply stow all your drawings, pencils and papers: that was a day free of graphics. Then you make your bed and put yourself to sleep: you needed to rest, so you did it.
And that was a sleep full of sweet dreams.
You dreamed with four girls singing a song that you belived you had already listen to. They we’re so gentle, wishing upon a star for a new love, for a new dream. You stay with them, dancing and singing up on a stage for a crowd. Just you five, having fun in black and white.
And then you we’re dancing and singing alone. There we’re no other ladies up on the stage. There we’re no band setting the pace. There we’re no crowd looking at you. There we’re just you, your voice, the music of your shoes beating with the stage wood, and a man watching you.
He was the only one there. And he was looking at you.
Please turn on your magic beam
He was with you, not only phisycally but his soul felt conect to yours. When he walked in your direction, when he stand centimeters away from you, when his hand touched yours: it never seen wrong. If he asked you to beg for his touch you would. If he asked you to beg for his voice you would: thats what you we’re almost doing.
His fingers traced a path up her arms, graced her shoulders, worshiped her face. He rested his forehead on hers, his hot breath mingling with his own, and his fingers tangled in her hair. He was asking, you knew it, and your answer was yes: you kissed him. It was a slow, hot kiss, with no room for breath or hesitation, just two bodies coming together as one.
You held on to the man still unnamed and unsure how you were sure: he was the man of your drawings. The man who bewitched her mind and sang inside her ears. He was a mortal desire and a need that brought her back to life: he was the man of her dreams. He was everything you wanted and more.
His mouth touched your neck, his hands squeezed your breasts, his body clung to yours: you wanted more. More and more and more. It would never be enough. It in parts or whole: you would keep yearning for more. You yourself undid the knot that held your nightgown to your skin. You who slipped your fingers through the buttons that closed his clothes and opened them. You who said, "Please." And he heard you, understood you, obeyed you.
He took you to one of the tables in what was once a room full of people and sat you down. Kneeling between her legs, Morpheus prayed. He adored you and desired more. Morpheus. Suddenly you knew the man's name. His tongue made your body shudder, you no longer had control of your voice. It was just a heat that spread through your body, that made you hold his hair tightly, that made you forget about the world. At some point his fingers penetrated you, cold long fingers that writhed inside your belly as his tongue continued to make you want more and more and more. You came, you know that, but that wasn't enough.
When he entered you, when his fingers wet in his liquid penetrated your lips, when his mouth found space inside yours: you shuddered with a hunger for more. More and more and more. And that's what he gave you. That's what Morpheu gave you.
Everything you asked for, everything.
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

ruwei, if ur still awake? ^^
I did indeed fall asleep lol but I HAVE AWOKEN ONCE MORE to DEPOSIT SPINTOPS UPON THINE DASHBOARD
Tumblr media
I actually don't remember that much about poor Ruway because I watched God back when it wasn't subbed at all, and haven't properly REwatched God because it's STILL not fully subbed, hhgh...so I never knew a damn thing about anything he was saying Ever, BUT
1. This man is running around in his pyjamas. I respect him for that.
2. I think he should have hit more people with that giant stick he had. You can't just HAVE a giant stick and not brain somebody with that thing.
3. This is still hilarious. My guy why were you doing this. How did you even GET there. What was the point of this maneuver. I PROMISE there are better ways to exercise your leg meat and stretch out your tendons or whatever and those better ways do not look nearly this silly.
Tumblr media
4. This is ALSO still hilarious. Xhaka caught that thing. Ruway's fingertips are only barely touching it. He's too much shorter than Xhaka is to be contributing any support here at all. HELPING™
Tumblr media
5. This is normal. This is the most normal thing I've ever seen. How many scars do you think he has on his shoulders.
Tumblr media
Also how buff is that bird. And how is that bird still able to fly while carrying all of that weight. Either that is some kind of ultra hi-tech robot disguised as an animal or Ruway weighs less than 10lbs.
6. He dumped water on himself just because he thought it looked cool. He got the floor all wet. Mr. Coolguy McSlippingHazard. Very badass. Much inconvenience to everybody around him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every time a character dumps water on their head like this I keep expecting them to get up and then immediately slip and bust their ass in the giant puddle they just made on the floor right in front of them. How does that never happen. That would be funny as shit.
7. One of the biggest things I remember about this poor bastard is how many times he just utterly ate shit onscreen. Him just constantly losing all the time was practically a meme by the end of the season. Even HE clearly wasn't even surprised anymore when it happened by that point. He made the fakest Surprised Pikachu Face I've ever seen while watching his bey go pathetically sailing out of the dish right past him one time.
Tumblr media
"Oh dear, it seems I have lost. Again."
8. I still think Ruway should wear his hair around his neck like a scarf. At least occasionally. My hair's longer than his and that's what I do with it sometimes. Gets it out of the way real well and looks funny as a bonus.
This guy is just nuts, I love it. He's the kind of crazy that is completely calm while it is crazying because it thinks it looks extremely cool and not at all entirely deranged. I think this is fantastic. I wanted to see him and Xhaka tear the entire Snake Pit inside-out actually onscreen, I'm forever going to be mad that we didn't actually get to see the carnage happen. Bighuge Brick Of Solid Muscle Xhaka just crushing shit with his bare hands and tiny little insane chihuahua bitch Ruway biting everyone's ankles clean in half. Come on. Please.

heyas! i'm your gifter for the tolkien secret santa :) just wondering if you've got any particular things you'd like to see; any favorite eldritch peredhel bits, especial character preferences, any hcs that are near & dear you'd like? (as vague or as broad as you feel like being! i have a few vague ideas cooking so far)
Hello! Sorry it took me a bit to answer this, I've been Sick this whole past week which put a bit of a damper on my holiday spirit lol.
I always use these event asks as a place to ramble and headcanon dump (here's last year's which might be useful? It has a bunch of headcanons on Doriath and Menegroth culture!) so I hope you find something that inspires or intrigues you, but no pressure to use anything! Also I Cannot Remember what specifically I put in my request, so apologies if any of this is repetitive.
I love worldbuilding and character building and generally making places and people feel alive in a very personal way. Good relationships and fluff in contrast to The Agonies Of The Plot are very much my general M.O. lol, and I tend to prefer my angst as hurt/comfort or bittersweet. I love love love the importance of choice and conscious decisions to the nature of Arda and its people. Sweet family domesticity is like crack to me.
One of my favorite parts about eldritch peredhil is taking these fairy-tale people Tolkien gives us and taking them to their logical extreme of magical Beings and Creatures while still being, you know, good, relatable characters. Fae vibes are top tier, always (circling the fairy-tale idea around!!), and some good animal-esque instincts and body language is just *chefs kiss*, whether as something lighthearted and silly (stupidly massive dilating cat eyes and bird courting instincts my beloveds) or more serious and dramatic (being a little possessive, for instance, hunting instincts, also getting Spooky when emotion runs high)
One thing which I have seen done well but is not my cup of tea is darker takes on this in relation to. Well. Relationships. It's important to me (for Beren/Luthien especially) that just because magic is involved it doesn't take away or minimize the choice of either party. Maybe they don't quite know what they're getting into, but it's more in a "Ah. My girlfriend is kinda nocturnal and doesn't always remember that I need sleep" way and not a love spell way, and that any possessive behavior is still healthy and agreed upon. Also related: they might not be perfect parents, but they try their bests and love their kid(s) and let them make their own choices and please Tolkien I need one mostly healthy and happy family in this legendarium let me have this just two-three generations is all I'm asking-
Ahem. Yeah. So I'd prefer something that isn't on the darker side for that lol. As for character preference, I'm happy reading about whoever! I do have a bias to the earlier generations of Melian's line (more concentrated Spooky!), but I love all the peredhil to pieces, I just haven't given them as much detailed thought, and haven't made up my mind on how some stuff is portrayed in my Arda, so go wild with whoever!
Some general headcanons: I love some good fluffy werewolf!Beren as seasoning after the undeath deal, I think he deserves headpats and belly rubs and also being able to full body shake out his wet fur to spray his wife and kid despite their protests <3
Luthien is so much to me honestly. I could go on for pages. She's mostly vegetarian, except for when she hunts down prey she kills with her teeth and eats raw. She's immutably human by her own choice and nature, she's incredibly inhuman via the same. She loves her parents, she hates her parents. She unfailingly adores the People she's chosen. If she'd adopted Turin his early life would have been much weirder but also much better because if anyone can dodge Morgoth's curse it's her. She makes me insane <3
Daeron is the greatest uncle ever and is super weird about everything (affectionate) and is permanently relegated to "Baby Brother" in Luthien's mind and vibes strangely well with Beren. He's little Dior's favorite person in the world because he travels so far east and comes back with awesome stories and taught him how to play instruments and gives him cool presents!
Beren & Luthien: What do you have there?
Dior: A knife! :D
Beren: NO!
(Luthien: We use our fangs and talons in this household sweetie
Beren, again: NO!!!)
Let's see... I've written a lot on Dior and Nimloth in other places, if you're interested in them, but! Because I will make everything end up ok even if it kills me! Dior technically counts as human in soul but by virtue of rules-lawyering and debating The Lord Of The Dead (and also being a thinly veiled trans allegory haha whoops I was oblivious) alongside Nimloth he gets to be reembodied and counted as an elf. E^2 1.0 are deemed too young to Choose but their parents are like "well they aren't getting any older being dead, reembody them with us and then they can make their Choice later" which to Namo's regret and amusement is perfectly valid logic
Speaking of Elured and Elurin. My dear, sweet, small children. My Frankenstein's monsters :)
Everything ends up fine by virtue of my "no permanent unhappy endings if we have them at all" agenda! But my take on their fate is that they end up pretty severely Changed by virtue of Doriath's ambient Maiarin Radiation And Not-Insignificant Sentience, turned into Something that lets That-Which-Used-To-Be-Elured&Elurin survive but as a fun, monstrous, eldritch cryptid! They end up dying probably because Doriath slowly drains of power as the Age moves on and lets them go- or maybe it's because Beleriand drowns, I don't really know, point being they're in Mandos and (mostly) themselves again and can now get therapy and reunions! I have many thoughts on them growing up in ~2nd Age Valinor and freaking the Amanyar out and being very frustrated that Elwing is the big sister now (until they finally get taller than her).
Elwing is all vibes and incoherent thoughts in my head. She's like 7 mental illnesses stacked in a feather-cloak. She deserves to go feral and bite stuff. She schedules mental breakdowns in her daily planner and abides by it to the minute while dressed up for brunch. She likes to scream for little-no particular reason in the same way that someone might idly use a fidget toy. I think she serves as a seagull mob boss and has a bunch of hitbirds to subtly and classily threaten to torment people with.
Elrond and Elros grew up in an apocalypse and came into their own in a post-apocalypse and they are simultaneously super weird and strangely well adjusted because of it. Elros settles into himself earlier, but Elrond fakes normalcy better. Also they have mary sue "everyone except the bad guys likes them" vibes.
So yeah that was my rambling, I'm so excited to see what you write!

Up, Away, and Gone
Tw: Death
IT WAS A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the river sounded like the kids laughing. The warm light from the sun cast a red shimmer upon the world and it made everything shine like brass. The hot air balloon was standing in the middle of the field. It looked so peaceful and free where it stood. It was an old one with red and white stripes like the ones you saw in old movies, but the colours had faded a little and the white parts had a hint of yellow in them. The basket was woven, almost like a handbasket, but bigger, much bigger.
I looked over at Gale. He was standing near the river. His shirt was off and his hair was wet, I assumed he'd gone for a swim before I came. I looked up the river and saw a small waterfall. I knew that behind that waterfall there was a beautiful little cave full of old cave drawings and tools. This entire scene was almost like what you saw in a movie, but this wasn't a movie. This was real.
Gale waved at me and came running over. He threw a white t-shirt over his shoulders.
"Hi" he said
"Hi"
He looked at me, "are you ready?"
I nodded and he grabbed my hand. We walked over to the hot air balloon and opened the gate. "Are you sure you know how to fly this?" I asked.
"Jesus, Cat, I've told you, I know how to fly it. I've flown with my dad a hundred times."
"Does he know you're using it?"
"Yes! He let me borrow it!" I could tell he was getting annoyed by my incessant fear of doing anything wrong, but I couldn't help it. I didn't like getting in trouble. "You can't get in trouble if you don't get caught," that's what he used to tell me. I thought about that for a moment, and I guess it was true, but on the other hand... you can't get caught if you don't do anything wrong in the first place.
"Now can we please just go?" Gale asked me. I looked at him, smiled, and nodded.
Gale started fixing some ropes, I wasn't really sure what the ropes were used for, but he seemed to know what he was doing and I didn't want to disturb him so I didn't ask either. Now I think maybe I should have. I looked over at the river and the forest and I thought that when I die I want this to be the last place I ever saw. I remembered how my mom always used to tell me that you should be careful what you wish for. She told me that life had a really messed up way of granting wishes, but I shrugged it off. This was supposed to be about me and Gale, no one else. I looked down the river. I couldn't see it, but I knew that it went out into a nice lake a bit further down, I thought maybe we could go for a swim there after the trip.
Gale had finished setting up the hot air balloon and it started to ascend. It was beautiful, and the feeling. The feeling was amazing. It felt like I was free, truly free, like I could do anything. I looked out at the world which just became smaller and smaller with every second. It was beautiful. Right now it felt like I could just stay here forever. Just me and Gale in this balloon forever, or at least until we were gone. Again, you should be careful what you wish for.
Suddenly I felt a ghost of wind, but it wasn't a normal gust. No, this was something else, it felt like a warning like something bad was going to happen. I told Gale this, but he told me I was just being paranoid. Then, out of nowhere, the weather changed. The hot summer breeze, the golden sun, the cloud-free sky that had been there mere seconds before was all gone. The sky filled with dark clouds, the wind became a thousand times stronger, water started pouring down from the sky, like we flew under a massive waterfall, and the sun was nowhere to be seen. I started to panic. Gale was running back and forth in the basket trying to keep the balloon steady and he was yelling at me to call someone, but I could barely hear what he was saying. I couldn't even hear the roaring of the wind or the sound of the water slamming down everywhere. I couldn't hear the thunder that was all around us. Everything sounded distant, like I was a thousand metres under water and I could move.
Gale shook me. "ARE YOU OK?" he yelled at me, but I could barely hear anything over the wind and the rain even though his face was just inches from mine. I swallowed and nodded.
"CALL SOMEONE!" he yelled. I nodded and pulled out my phone, but I could barely see the screen because of the rain. I tried to use Siri, but she couldn't hear me and I assumed that if by any chance I would be able to get a hold of someone they wouldn't be able to hear me either. The water drops made it impossible to use the phone. They messed up the touch screen so it wouldn't react properly with my fingers, but somehow, eventually, I managed to call someone. I could barely hear what they said, and even when I screamed at the top of my lungs I think they only managed to hear fragments of what I said. And then the call ended. I don't know what happened, I figured the storm must have cut the lines or something because when I tried to call them back up nothing happened. At that moment I realised that we were all alone. No one would try to save us because no one knew we were in danger.
I went over to Gale trying to ask if there was anything I could do. I tried to tell him that I couldn't get a hold of anyone, but the storm was so bad now that you couldn't hear anything. I couldn't even hear the thunder when the lightning struck two meters away from us. The storm was getting worse and I could see that Gale was struggling to keep control. I knew what he was trying to do tho, he was trying to get us to the eye of the storm. That's what they tell you to do when you're on the sea, get to the eye of the storm because that's the calmest place. I wasn't even sure if it was true, but right now I was willing to do anything if it meant there was even the slightest chance I would survive this. Because right now I was certain we were both going to die.
I don't really know what happened next. One minute Gale was standing before me, and the next he was dangling from the side of the balloon. I screamed, or at least I thought I did, but I had no way of knowing if the sound actually left my mouth. I ran over to him and grabbed his wrist, trying so hard to pull him up, but it was no use. He was too heavy for my scrawny arms to handle. With no one to control it, the balloon was flying in all directions, but I was pretty sure it had started descending and I knew that my only hope was to hold gale long enough for him to land at least somewhat safely on the ground. The only problem was that I didn't even know how far up we were or how quickly we were descending, I wasn't even sure if we really were going downwards or if it just felt like it.
I looked down at Gale and I could barely see his mouth moving through the thick rain. I tried, but I couldn't hear what he was trying to say. I shifted my focus to his lips. I thought maybe I could try to read them. I wasn't sure, but it looked like he was telling me to let go. I just shook my heart and kept holding his wrist. He was getting heavier and heavier, and all the water from the rain made our hands slippery. My arms felt like they were about to break and the wind didn't make anything better. He kept dangling from side to side and the balloon was flying all over the place. We barely managed to dodge the lightning that struck all around us. I knew it was too late. I knew that even the fact that I had managed to hold him for this long was a wonder. A miracle.
I had always believed in miracles. I believed that if you wished for something hard enough the universe would make it happen. But like my mom told me, life has a twisted way of granting wishes.
In that moment all I wished for was for me and Gale to get out of this together, and I wished it harder than ever, desperate for a miracle to happen. I guess I didn't specify that I wanted us both to be alive because the next thing I knew Gale's had slipped out of my grasp. I could see him falling, I could even hear him scream. I screamed my name. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to act. How are you supposed to act in a situation like that? I was too shocked to cry and too scared to move. I was too confused to think straight and I was too lonely to find any source of comfort in anything. I broke down. I sat on the floor of the basket, shaking without moving, crying without tears, screaming without making a sound.
Then another lightning struck, but this one wasn't a few meters away like all the others, this one struck directly on the balloon. Now that I think about it I guess that was the second miracle of the day. The fact that we had gone all that time without being hit. In school, they taught us that lightning strikes the object that's the highest up, and I assumed that there weren't many things further up than us... or I guess it was just me now.
I saw smoke come from the top of the balloon and there was a huge hole in it, but still, I didn't move. What was the point? I couldn't do anything to stop this anyways, and Gale was gone. It didn't seem like I had anything to live for anymore, like nothing matters. The balloon fell rapidly, and then the strangest thing happened. Just as sudden as it had come, the storm just disappeared and I could see again. I could hear again. I saw the forest and the clearing where we had ascended from. I saw the river and the cave, I could even see the lake I wanted us to go swimming in when we got back. I saw everything. When I got closer to the ground I could hear the birds sing, I could hear the animals running around in the forest. I could hear life, and suddenly, in that moment everything mattered again. At that moment I felt like I had something to live for, but it was too late. It had been from the moment we flew into that storm. The balloon started crashing into trees and I was flung from side to side. I heard the fabric in the balloon tip as we raced through the trees. We hit the stem of a particulate old pine tree and the basket shattered. I fell down on the ground and I could feel what must have been every single bone in my body shatter. My head hit a rock and in a fraction of a second before everything went black I saw him. I saw his body lying beside me. It was shattered and broken, but it was him, and once again I felt safe, like nothing could hurt me.
So, I guess that in a way, in a really fucked up way I did get what I asked for. Like my mom said, be careful what you wish for because life has a really fucking messed up way of granting one's wishes.

Tumblr media
you awake to your phone vibrating somewhere next to you. the hope of it only being a one-time occurrence quickly proven to be false as it just wouldn't stop. brr-brr. a second of silence. brr-brr. pause. brr-brr.
taking a mental note to never go to sleep again without turning off your phone, you roll over to your other side and try to ignore it. you could simply answer the texts, but that meant you'd have to open your eyes. and that whoever was texting you would win this weird battle you've just come up with in your head.
"if you don't pick up your goddamn phone, i'll smack you over the head with it," sasha groans from the other side of your shared dorm, words coming slurry with her tiredness.
brr-brr.
"i could also stick it up your ass, your decision," a pillow comes flying to your head, serving as enough of a warning for you to sit up in your bed, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.
"quit moaning, i'll turn it off now," you yawn, feeling around your bed for your phone, "you never hear me complaining about the shit you do in the middle of the night."
"that's because my shit is funny and not fucking annoying," she scoffs, followed by a muted thump as she is sinking back down into her pillows. sasha's way of ending the conversation.
you find your phone half-tucked underneath your pillow, the display already lighting up again. someone is desperate for attention, you think to yourself and unlock your phone with an annoyed sigh. the messages were coming from an unknown number.
thinking about your wet pussy. this is eren, btw. historia gave me your number. i told her you wouldn't mind you don't mind, do you?
in a matter of seconds, your heart is beating in your throat once more, just like this afternoon in that godforsaken computer lab. ears growing hot at his words, you could almost imagine the sound of him laughing at you again. with trembling fingers, you scroll down further.
anyway, let's do it again sometime i told you. i'll never let you forget about how you moaned my name i'm also not forgetting about how badly i want to fuck that pretty mouth of yours, so it's a win-win see ya, then
staring down at your phone, you don't know if you should answer him. and even if you would answer his texts, what the hell should you say? "fucking bastard," the words escaping your mouth before even realizing that you'd better keep quiet. the only thing that could make this situation any worse was if sasha were to wake up again.
scratch that, you think as you see eren's new messages.
how badly do you want to suck my cock? you looked really hot today, covered in my cum what, you're shy again?
there are two ways this could go: either you stand up, put on some clothes, and then go to eren's dorm to let hell rain upon him - or simply mute your phone and ignore him. deciding to go with the latter, you lie back down and save his number as "fuckhead", a small grin forming on your face. if he wants to be childish, then you can be, too.
the display still lighting up at a steady pace, you have to fight the urge to open his other messages. to physically prevent yourself from grabbing your phone again, you put your hands between your thighs and sigh. what the hell have i gotten myself into?
Tumblr media
"so, who am i gonna have to teach some manners today?", sasha asks in the morning, "because there are only two valid reasons for sending that many texts in the middle of the night," she sits up in her bed and bends over to reach for her phone, "either someone's dead or there's a food sale."
cringing at the thought of having to read the countless other messages eren has sent throughout the night, you try to laugh at her comment, "of course, when there's food involved, you're all for it."
"girl's gotta eat," she claims, thankfully being too distracted by something on her phone to notice your strange behavior, "i'm gonna be back later than usual today, connie wants me to be his wingman again."
starting to go off on a tangent about how connie should just get a dating app already, sasha's words become more of background noise to you. you want to know what he wrote. what he has in store for you. at the same time, you curse yourself out. you're turning into a headless chicken and all of it because of eren fucking yeager?
you nod here and there, offering her a "yes" at what you believe to be fitting moments, desperately hoping she doesn't catch up on your restlessness. all the while the two of you are getting ready for the day. this goes on for a few more minutes and you have no clue what she's talking about now, so you decide to grab your phone and stand up.
"i'm gonna go for a run around campus, you want coffee?" you blurt out, interrupting her monologue. the device in your hand feels as if it's burning through your skin. slipping into your trainers, you're already halfway out the room, her perplexed "uh- yes, please," being muffled by the door closing behind you.
it's still warm outside - not as hot as yesterday, but warm enough for you to be glad to have forgotten your cardigan earlier. you let out a deep breath, trying to clear your mind. even though you told sasha you'd be out for a run, you walk at a slow pace.
some people are already wandering around campus, most of them on their way to a lecture. at this time in the morning, everyone has their heads full with their own worries so no one notices you slowly making your way off-campus.
arriving at a little park surrounded by trees, you sit down on the bench farest off. you notice your heart fluttering like the wings of a hummingbird when pulling the phone out of your back pocket. fuck him, you think once again while typing in your code. fuck him for making me feel this way.
12 unread messages.
didn't seem all too shy when i had my hand wrapped around your throat no need to play hard to get when i already had you if that makes sense? haven't fucked you yet doesn't mean i won't get to fuck you
all you want is to feel appalled by these messages. to screenshot them and send them to the dean. maybe even to his mother. sickened with yourself though, you already feel the familiar warmth creeping up your body, curling up in your abdomen.
i know you want it, too how fucking needy you were for me getting yourself off in public to the thought of me maybe you can tell me what exactly you were thinking of? gonna make sure to let your dreams come true, princess
pet names? you clench your fist at the thought of eren leaning over you, breathing the word princess into your ear. you have an inkling that he'd say it mockingly; spitting it out whilst gathering your hair in a ponytail, arching your back forcefully, and slamming his length into you without mercy.
no. you hate pet names. at least, you've always hated them.
i'm gonna find out if you're ignoring me right now remember, you're not the best actress. fucking suck at it, actually wouldn't want to be punished now, would we?
his last message echoed in your head. still coming to terms with the fact of what happened yesterday, now you have to deal with a whole new revelation: eren yeager being a cocky motherfucker pushing all the right buttons for you. even though you want to blast his ass for this, the mere thought of him being near you again is too sweet of an imagination.
you want to play this game, too. for whatever reason keep on riding this high, and you just know that no one could do it quite as well as eren can. somehow you can only imagine taking him on this ride with you, no one else.
so, in that manner you decide to ignore his messages. if he's desperate enough to keep on sending them in the middle of the night, you're sure it won't be long until he sends another text. and it would give him enough reason to try and punish you, whatever that might entail – you're excited to find out. fucking nervous, too. but then again, who wouldn't be?
you stand up and put your phone in your back pocket, a sense of excitement surrounding your steps as you turn left to make your way to the nearest coffee shop.
"something tells me you're ignoring me," of course, the moment eren's voice comes up behind you, you fucking flinch like a little bird that's been scared away, "mostly because i've seen you reading the messages, but what do i know?"
you turn to see him clutching his heart dramatically, "don't play with my feelings like this," he swoons, bringing one hand to his forehead. he's laughing again, all white teeth and bright smiles – you realize this is the kind of eren you rarely get to see. not the cocky bastard he normally portrays; right now, he seems to be a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, just enjoying himself. still, you want to show him that you can play just as well as he can.
crossing your arms in front of your chest, you slightly raise a brow, trying your hardest to not look as nervous as you feel. it's a lost cause though because you can already feel the tips of your ears glowing with heat again. can't things go my way for once? just once? you think and chew the inside of your cheek. you felt so sure of yourself just moments ago. how the hell can he have this sort of effect on you?
suddenly, his whole demeanor changes. before, he seemed laid-back, entertained by the game he played with you. now he leans forward, hands in the pockets of his jacket and an almost cruel smile forming on his lips, "don't try to challenge me in this. you'll lose."
you know that you should feel frightened. terrified, even. he's looking like a lion preparing to jump the antelope, a sense of alarming calmness around him that's causing the small hairs on your neck to stand up. but alas, the way he's looking at you seems to have the same effect on you his scent has.
"i told you not to ignore me," eren says and takes a few steps closer to you, "yet here you are, doing it again." the chuckle leaving his lips a stark contrast to his stern gaze, still trained on you. somehow, you feel awfully small again - still not frightened, though. you stare right back at him, tilting your head slightly as if you wanted to say "so what?"
"are you seriously that desperate to be punished?"
better now than never, you think and once again place a courtly smile on your lips, "seems like it."
for a split second, you see eren's smug look turn into a genuine smile. realizing that you're up for his game, he lets out a smooth whistle, "you do surprise me."
"if you wouldn't always be so full of yourself, i'm sure you'd have recognized this sooner," you can feel the confidence growing in yourself again. clinging on to it, you take a step toward him, "i'm full of surprises."
"oh, yeah? i bet you are," from the corner of your eye, you can see him lifting his hand. before thinking twice about it, you bat it away, "i'm not one for public displays of affection."
oh, it is on– eren's smirk turns into a full-fledged grin as he takes a grip of your wrist, "you sure about that?" lifting your hand to his face, for a short moment you think he's going to suck on your fingers again. but all he does is place a faint kiss on the back of your hand, "didn't seem like it yesterday."
"you weren't supposed to see."
"but i'm so glad i did," he leans forward, the two of you standing so close you can feel his breath on your face, "or else we wouldn't have this kind of fun right now."
still having a hold of your hand, he lifts his other to your jaw, gently tracing his thumb across your lower lip, "you looked so pretty in your skirt yesterday."
taking a leap of faith, you grab his hand, holding it in place and letting your tongue run across the tip of his thumb before biting down playfully. there's a hiss and then eren pulls away and grabs your arm, "come with me."
finally, you think and let him guide you to wherever he wants, let's have some fun, then.
on your way out of the park, you pass jean and marco. even though they stand to greet eren, he just raises his hand whilst not breaking his pace, "gotta go, have an assignment to work on."
"never seen you that determined, but go off," jean laughs.
Tumblr media
before you know it, you're inside one of the countless maintenance sheds. pushing you against the wall, eren's movements seem to become more and more erratic by the second. pinning your arms over your head, he's looking down at you, breathing heavily. "you have no idea what you just got yourself into," licking his lips, he chuckles.
"oh, but i think i actually do," you smile innocently, fucking glad to have found your normal self again. admittedly, eren threw you off your game since yesterday – but it's just going to play into your hands now. he won't see it coming until it's hitting him straight in the face; that you're just as messed up as he seems to be.
"then prove it," he breathes against your ear, "tell me how badly you want it."
the stuffy air inside the dimly lit shed doesn't help with keeping eren's scent away from you. being so close to him, looking up into his shadowed face and right into his dilated eyes; you're like putty in his hands. you try to move forward, to touch him in some way because you just know that he'll feel so good under your skin.
"now now, princess," he moves even closer, wedging you between himself and the wall, "how about we learn some patience, first?"
you nod, but then grind up against his thigh, hissing through your teeth, "i worry i'll be a real handful." you know you could very well move your hands, too – eren seems to still be testing the waters as to how far he can go with you. but with him actually letting you grind on him; you decide to play into his hands.
your breaths grow quicker as you keep on, pace becoming erratic. all you want is to get rid of your track pants – come to think of it, what you actually want is eren under you whilst you continuously bounce on his cock. you want to hear him call you princess and immediately after call you his little whore because that's exactly what you are.
eren has a little smile on his lips and you know you should ask yourself why – because you're doing exactly what he has forbidden you to do – but you're too far gone. the heat growing, you feel your knees buckle but he's holding you up; one hand now resting on your waist for support. you're so close –
and then he pulls away from you, nearly causing you to topple over. chest heaving, you place your hands on your knees for balance, "what the fuck was – "
"patience is a virtue," interrupting you with a laugh, but his voice heavy with lust, "thought i might give you a lesson you're ought to remember."
you look up to see eren palming his erection through his pants, standing about an arm's length away from you, "but i have to admit, hearing you getting yourself off is fucking hot."
biting your teeth together, you straighten up and take a step toward him – only for him to click his tongue in disapproval, "you're gonna stay right there," tugging at his pants he raises his eyebrow, "i told you what i want, get on your knees for me."
"the fuck i will," you spit out and make a move again, grasping for his waistband. but eren is quick to take a hold of your hand and pushes you back to the wall, "come on, now, princess," he chuckles but his eyes are concentrated at you, "you want this, don't you?". he's asking for permission, the thought feeling very comforting to you. and also, very excited for what's about to come.
"of course, i do," you answer him earnestly, resting the back of your head against the wall, "or else i wouldn't be here."
"fantastic," he breathes, a little smile playing in the corners of his mouth, "then get down on your knees," placing his hands on your shoulders, weighing you down, "i won't ask again."
the change of tone in his voice has you nodding, slowly sinking onto your knees, you're bursting in anticipation. one hand finally pulling down his pants, he runs his other through your hair, then down your jaw until it comes to rest on your chin.
thumbing at your lower lip, he groans "do i have to be careful?"
you just shake your head no. then you break away from his gaze, fixing your eyes on the bobbing cock in front of you. it's tip leaking with precum already, you remember how badly you wanted to lick it away yesterday.
taking his cock at its base, you bend forward and slide your tongue around its head. the salty taste sending shudders down your spine, you make sure to lift your eyes again once you prepare to take it all down your throat. your other hand snakes up to his balls, slightly tugging them which earns you a moan from eren, and fuck, you're so wet at the sound alone, you let go of his cock and slide one hand down to your own center.
he gathers your hair in one hand, taking the base of his throbbing cock in the other, "bet this is what you thought of yesterday," he slowly but surely pulls your head in closer, "of how i fuck the words right out of you."
bucking your hips into your own hand, you can do nothing but whimper at his words. because yes, this is exactly what you imagined. he's only halfway in and you're already struggling to breathe, but not wanting him to stop you hold your breath and push down even further; trying desperately not to moan.
the tears in your eyes causing your vision to be blurry, you attempt to blink them away.
"shit – ", he's pumping into you now, rubbing the tears from your cheeks and then placing both his hands on your head, "you're doing so well – "
getting lost in his words, the fear of being caught is so far away; you finally moan around his cock. saliva soaking the hem of his shirt, you can't seem to take his whole length, no matter how hard you try. you're a fucking mess under him and the thought alone is nearly sending you over the edge.
he's trying to pull away now and you know he's close, so you snake your hand around his hip, hoping this is enough of a sign to him that if he dared to cum anywhere else than down your throat, you'd bite him.
"you really – " his voice is hoarse, "fuck – this is fucking perfect," he moans as he comes to the realization. leaning his arm against the wall behind you, he's fucking himself into your mouth, his panting and the sound of your choking filling the room.
you close your eyes to blink the tears away again, but eren pulls on your hair, "no – look at me."
with this the knot in your belly explodes, leaving you holding on to eren's hip as you ride the waves of electricity that are running through your body like lava.
"such a good little whore – " he's gone as well, holding your head in place as he's pumping his load down your throat, leaving you no other option than to swallow – which you eagerly do. you feel his legs shaking under your hands.
once again, eren hands you his shirt to clean your face. this time, you take it with a smile, noting that, "i still have your other one."
"don't worry, i'll come get it sometime when sasha's away," the two of you know exactly what this means – neither of you are planning on this to be over anytime soon.
"i'll let you know, then," you nod and stand up, hoping you don't look as well-fucked as you feel, and make your way to the door, "she's gone most of the time."

Learning Your Lesson
Tumblr media
A/N: This isn't the first fanfic I've written, but it's the first I've finished. It's on the darker side, which I have no problem writing, I don't want my blog to be only that. That Keishin kitchen one is coming I just gotta get through finals. Thank you @kogo for the idea! You mentioned it, so I took it and bolted. 
TW: noncon/dubcon, yandere, phone sex, masturbation, implied drinking
"Baby," Hawks cooed into the phone, "what's wrong?"
It was in the middle of his night patrol when you called him, the ringtone specifically set for you jingling throughout the empty streets from his jacket pocket. When he picked up, he was met with your soft sobs on the other end of the line. 
"Keigo?" Your voice barely audible. "Can you come get me? I don't want to talk about it here."
"(y/n), what's the matter," Hawks says, voice dropping an octave.
“You were right, Keigo,” you sob. “I shouldn’t have gone. I shouldn’t have gone out tonight.”
“(Y/n),” Hawks said, the seriousness in his voice chilling you more thoroughly than the night air. “What happened?” He was growing restless, pacing the same alleyway. He told you not to go out. You should have listened to him. You should always listen to him. He can only hope you learned your lesson this time. 
Since you and the Number 2 Hero began dating, Hawks had grown increasingly paranoid about your safety. If it had been anyone else, Hawks' possessiveness over you could have been seen as controlling; you told yourself that he only had your safety in mind. Dating a pro hero, especially such a high ranking one, came with its dangers, and your quirklessness made you an even easier target. If anything happened to you, Hawks wouldn't know what to do with himself, a fact he constantly reminded you of. 
You insisted on going out with your friends tonight. “Keigo,” you whined, stretching his name out like you were one of his teenage fans, “Please. I haven’t seen them in months.” You were just a quirkless nobody, making minimum wage and barely scraping by to make rent and survive your shitty neighborhood. Scratch the latter bit. You were just a quirkless nobody, but since your relationship with Hawks kicked off, the pro had moved you into his apartment, a much safer, much more suitable place for you, and you know longer had to worry about your safety. Except on occasions like these. Your friends, all either quirkless or with minor quirks that would be useless in protecting you should anything happen, were gathering to celebrate an engagement, and surprise surprise they invited you.
Hawks tried his best to persuade you otherwise, listing all the dangers of going out without him, or going out at all, especially when you were dressed like that. Your little skirt falling just over your ass. Anyone could drop their wallet behind you and sneak a peek up your skirt. Your shirt was much too tight; and where was your jacket? You're just showing off the goods for everyone, like you were asking for something to happen.
But you could not, would not be swayed. You missed your friends. Though you loved Hawks, “It's Keigo, baby,” he would insist, you craved your friendships, and you were overjoyed to find that they didn’t hate you for practically disappearing on them since your relationship with Hawks, "Keigo", had become serious. 
“What happened?” Hawks repeated, his impatience growing.
“It all happened so quickly,” you sobbed.
“(y/n),” Hawks quite nearly growled out. “What. Happened.” You were really testing him right now, what with interrupting his patrol, albeit his boring, uneventful patrol. How could he help you when you weren't telling him what was wrong.
"I was leaving the bar. You remember which one?" Your voice shook. Hawks held back a scoff. Of course he knew where the bar was. It was the very bar frequented by the League, nestled neatly into the roughest area of town; it's inexpensiveness appealing to your friends' cheapness more than the potential danger drove them away. He told you they couldn't be trusted.
"Well I was leaving," You must be shaking like a leaf. Hawks can hear it in your voice. "And I get this feeling, like someone's following me. So I walk faster, and I—" you cut. Soft cries filled Hawks' ears as he listened.
Hawks can feel himself growing tighter in his pants as you cry. He knows where this is heading. He told you not to go, but you didn't listen. It would be rude of you to ask them to reschedule to a date when Hawks could more easily pick you up, or even better, accompany you. You were too overjoyed when they reached out with an invitation despite your disappearance in their life. But now here you were, sobbing—god how he loved your cries—to him over the phone because some asshole had roughed you up a bit. What did you expect leaving The League of Villains' bar alone at this ungodly hour? 
As angry as he was over your stupidity, he couldn't deny how hot you sounded in your current state. His arousal was confirmed by the decent tent forming in his uniform pants. After a quick scan of the area, Hawks found a nearby alleyway to slip into. He was thankful his designated area to patrol tonight was rather unlively. Leaning against the rough bricks, Hawks found himself quickly undoing his belt, shoving his pants and boxers down just enough to free himself. 
"Go on, baby," Hawks said. It took all his self control not to let so much as a slight hitch in his voice show as he encouraged you to talk.
"Keigo, please. I don't know why I have to tell you all right now." you sobbed. "Please, just come get me."
"Baby," Hawks drawled, suppressing a moan as he languidly stroked himself up to full hardness. "I don't want you to have to relive this more than you have to. So you just tell me now, as detailed as possible. I can fill out whatever reports you would need to for you, and you won't ever have to think about this again." It was hard for you to argue with Hawks in your fragile state. “I know what’s best for you, baby bird. Tell me everything.”
So you did. You told Keigo all about the strange man who you guessed had followed you out of the bar. Who would just be lurking outside the League's bar waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting quirkless? Hawks would bet his next several paychecks just who would be doing exactly that.
You told Hawks about the rough, calloused hand over your mouth accompanied by the low voice in your ear whispering that if you so much as made a squeak, you'd be cremated on the spot. Bingo. At least he wasn't losing much in a bet against himself. Judging by the state of his hard cock in his gloved hand, he was actually winning here. 
Hawks would have just laughed at you had he not been so fucking turned on. He would have to look past that cheesy "cremation" line. How did you not know who was lurking around the sleazy bar waiting for a hot piece of meat, for you, to stumble out the bar, drunk and alone. Were you always such an idiot? How did you ever survive without him?
You told him about how you had been unceremoniously dragged into the alley next to the bar and shoved face first into the bricks of one of the bar's outer walls. Hawks' eyes fluttered shut, his mouth hung up as his head fell back against the wall he braced himself against. His fist picked up the pace, imagining your soft protests and how lovely your weak, slurred cries of "please no" would have sounded as your skirt was flipped up and panties ripped through. Knowing your attacker, a hole very well could have been burned through for easy access. He'd have to check once he got you home and asleep. 
Hawks continued pumping himself as you continued your sob fest, jerking his foreskin up and down over his angry almost purple head. God how he wished to be there, listening to your sobs, cooing at you that everything was going to be okay as he kissed your tear stained, brick scratched cheeks and stroked a finger over that pretty, abused pussy of yours.
His gloved thumb rubbing over his slit, as he pictured how badly your insides were wrecked, how that jacob's ladder would have scraped against your warm plush walls. Were you even wet? You had to be. After all, only a slut would have gone out when he told them otherwise. He could only imagine how rough the man in question was with you and your pliant body. In your drunken state, how hard could you have fought back? Not very hard, Hawks had gotten you nice and drunk quite a number of times, and that was exactly why he protested you going out in the first place. His breathing grew heavier the closer he came to his release.
"Keigo?" your feeble voice called out over the phone's speaker. "Are you okay?"
"Yea, baby. I'm okay." Hawks collected himself. Pull yourself together, man. "Are you okay? I'm just so angry." that you didn't listen to me. 
"Keigo, are you close?" Oh he was close alright. Just a few more strokes, a few more sniffles and whines from you, and he would be right there. 
“Please, Keigo. Hurry up. I’m cold and scared. Keigo, I’m so scared.” That's all he needed.
“I’m coming, baby. I’m coming.” Hawks said, praying you couldn’t hear the breathlessness in his voice. His brilliant wings puffed and gave a few strained flutters before shaking tensely as his hand stilled and streaks of hot white fell on the dirty street below him. You weren’t the most intuitive, so you’d probably attribute it to his anger.
With his lust no longer clouding his mind, a sudden worry stuck Hawks. 
"Did he cum in you?" Hawks practically growled.
"What? No. Why are you asking me this?" your confusion briefly pausing your sobs.
"Just checking to see if you need me to make a stop by the pharmacy," Hawks explained as he stuffed himself back in his pants. "I'm on my way. I just have to make a quick call, baby. I love you." He zipped himself up and fixed his belt back into place. He shook out and stretched his wings. Hawks couldn't remember ever cumming that hard. 
"No. Keigo, please don't hang up," you hiccuped.
"Baby, baby," Hawks cooed, "I gotta let the commission know that I'm taking off early. You don't think I'd just continue working after this?" A smirk worked its way onto his handsome face. He could imagine your cute face scrunched into a pout. "Do you have that little faith in me? It's the least you could let me do before I leave patrol early for you. You think you learned your lesson?"
"Um," your voice trembles, Hawks’ last statement confusing you. "I suppose." You weren’t sure what your lesson was; you just wanted Keigo to take you home.
"Good girl,” a dark smile finds his way on Hawks’ face. I'll call you right back. I promise," Hawks reassures you, the fear in your voice as you feebly protested was almost enough to make him hard again. "I'll let you hang up, okay? I love you."
"Okay," you sniff, "I love you too." 
Hawks hears the light click signaling that you hung up and glances down at his phone for confirmation before quickly dialing another number, his smile growing darker as he waited out the ringing. After about three rings, Hawks broke out in a full smile, his crazed golden eyes gleaming in the moonlight of the alleyway he had hidden himself into. 
“What you do want now, ya fucking pigeon?” a rough, gravely voice answered.
“Thanks, Touya. I really owe you one.”

I- I think I'm dead.
I can't move.
I don't know how long I've been here.
I don't know how I got here, I just suddenly was.
I don't feel pain, but I do feel something. There's a stick poking my neck. It's uncomfortable.
-----
It's night now. I can't see much. I just see clouds.
Something flew over me. I hope it was an owl.
It's colder.
-----
It's daytime again. Not the good kind though. It's raining. The rain keeps falling on me. The water is in my eyes and I can't close them. It's wet and cold. I don't like it.
-----
It's night again. At least it stopped raining.
I'm still cold.
-----
It's snowing now. I thought the rain was cold.
It's covering me. Oh so cold.
It keeps snowing.
-----
I can't see anything. My eyes are open. I can't see. I am completely covered in snow.
It's so heavy. I can feel it smothering me. Pushing down down down, so heavy. There's so much of it.
I'm colder than I have ever been before.
I can move less now. I know I couldn't move before, but this somehow feels like I can move even less.
I must be frozen solid.
-----
Drip drip drip.
The snow is melting.
-----
I feel something crawling on my foot. It has too many legs.
What is it oh god what is it I can't see it it's crawling up my leg I can't move I can't look at it what is it.
-----
There's bugs everywhere. I can feel them crawling, hear them buzzing. That's not the worst part.
They're biting me. I can feel them nibbling away at my skin.
They're eating me. I can feel it.
-----
It's not just the bugs. The birds have found me. They peck and peck and peck. They pull bits of me away.
I can't see them but I hear them, crying and cawing and fighting over who gets the best parts.
I can see one now. It's very big and very black.
It's coming closer. That can't be good. No. No go away. Please don't come closer. Go away. No not there please not there I need those I need those please no no no please go away. No no nono nononono no.
It took my eyes.
-----
I can't see anything.
I can still feel everything though.
-----
Something bigger has found me.
I know this because the birds are gone.
They all flew away. The can leave. I wish I could leave. Why can't I leave.
-----
Bear. Bobcat. Maybe even a cougar. That's what's here now. Scared off the birds. I've never seen a live cougar before.
I can feel it having its fill.
-----
There can't be much left now. I know this because all the animals have left me alone for a while I think. Even the bugs are gone. Nothing left for them here.
There's nothing left for me here either.
-----
I don't know how long it's been. How long does it take a body to be just bones? I've been here longer than that.
There's a tree growing. I can feel it. It's coming through my skull. Right out the place where that bird took my first eye.
It's very uncomfortable. I can feel it, but at the same time I can't. I know it's there.
I hope it grows big.
-----
Something moved my bones.
I don't know what.
I should have felt it, but I couldn't. I can't feel most of my bones anymore. I'm getting numb. I think that's a good think.
-----
Ashes to ashes dust to dust. That's all I am now.
Not even scattered bones in a forest. Not even a forest.
I think it burned down. I could feel a lot of heat. First thing I felt in a while.
It wasn't a good feeling.
-----
I can't feel a thing now.
That's a lie. I feel tired.
I haven't felt tired in forever. I think it's time for me to go now.
I hope my forest regrows.
I hope someone finds me, even though all I am are ashes and dust, blown away in the wind.

My Own Favorite Dialogue and Why
Drake and Liam may be best friends in TRR canon, but for me the dysfunctional bromance that I've created between Maxwell and Drake is my favorite friendship. For this one from The Lake I loved the angsty/comedy so much I couldn't just select a small part, so I had to post all of it.
From The Lake
Out in the middle of the lake the air is still, the water smooth like glass. It's been an hour since the men cast their fishing lines, and for Maxwell an uneasiness was setting in.
"Are you sure there are fish in this lake?"
Drake looks up from the magazine he's reading, his last bite of sandwich in his hand. "Of course I'm sure. I oversaw the stocking of trout myself."
Maxwell looks down at the half empty can of low alcohol beer in his hand, resenting the lack of buzz he was feeling because of it. "I thought we would have gotten a nibble by now."
Drake shrugs, popping the last piece of his bread crust into his mouth. "You just have to be patient, Max. Sometimes they bite, sometimes they don't."
Maxwell shades his eyes with his hand and gazes off toward the Manor in the distance, it was so tiny and the shoreline seemed so far away. He tried not to imagine how deep and cold the water was beneath them, but it still gnawed at him anyway. He squeezed the backpack between his feet, its contents giving him a slight sense of reassurance.
Drake glanced down at Maxwell's backpack sitting in the belly of the boat. Since leaving the shore he's seen him take out a tube of sunscreen, a granola bar, his mobile phone to take pictures, and repack his sweater when he got too warm. Each time he set it back down there was a strange heavy thump against the wood, and so far it didn't seem to belong to any of the things he'd seen.
Drake shifted his ass on the boat seat, trying to combat the numbness he was feeling. The boat rocked slightly, causing ripples in the water, and for Maxwell to snap at him.
"Hey, man. Don't rock the boat."
Drake rolls his eyes, "Jeez, Max. Paranoid much?"
Max rolls his shoulders, trying to loosen up but he can't, "Seriously, you don't find it creepy? The whole time we've been out on the lake I haven't heard or seen a bird, you'd think there would be some ducks or geese or something."
Drake takes a deep breath and looks around, squints up at the sky, and then looks over to the mountains and trees in the distance. He listens for anything other than the sound of the water lapping at the side of the boat.
 "I suppose it is a little odd. Just yesterday there were lots of geese and ducks paddling along or flying and honking over the lake."
Maxwell lifts and bobs his fishing rod and line in the water. Looking down into the depths he's struck by how it goes from clear to pitch black so quickly. He scoffs and makes a joke, feeling uneasy as the words leave his mouth, "Maybe Gaga ate all the fish, and scared the birds away."
Drake chuckles, "Say, what now? Who or what is Gaga?"
Maxwell's eyes go wide and he looks at Drake with disbelief, "You mean you haven't heard the legend of Gargantua? The monster of Lake Valtoria?"
Drake shakes his head and opens the cooler to get another beer, "You can't be serious, Max. Not every big lake has a monster living in it."
"Trust me, Drake. My house sigil is a giant squid remember? I know my monster legends. How many years have you been stocking the lake, and have you ever caught any of the fish afterwards?"
"As a matter of fact, I caught a fish standing on the dock yesterday. So I know there are fish in the lake." Drake insists as he opens his beer and takes a long swallow, wiping his mouth on his sleeve.
"Ok, well what about the lack of birds?"
Drake sets his beer down with a sigh, scrubbing his forehead with his hands and then raking them back through his hair, "So, now you think some monster is yanking ducks down into the water from underneath?"
Maxwell shrugs, "You never know. Maybe Gaga has a taste for water fowl and fish?"
"Now you're just sounding crazy, Max."
Maxwell shifts forward in his seat, causing his pack to fall forward and make another thump, Drake looks at it again and frowns. Maxwell points an indignant, angry finger at Drake. "Don't you dare call me crazy!"
"You're the one talking about lake monsters, when there's probably some logical reason to explain everything." 
Maxwell picks up his backpack again and hugs it in his lap, his hand finds the weighty item from the outside and shifts it carefully. Drake looks at him suspiciously, "Max?"
"What?" he asks, nervously.
"What's in your backpack?"
Maxwell shrugs, "You know, just the usual 'day out on the lake' sorta stuff."
Drake's eyes narrow, "Why don't I believe you?"
Maxwell hugs the backpack a little tighter to himself, he tries to avoid looking at Drake. Off in the near distance, behind Drake, there's an odd rippling splash on the surface of the lake. Maxwell gasps, trying to swallow the sudden fear constricting his throat.
"Why won't you believe me when I say there's something creepy about this lake?" Maxwell croaks out, pointing over Drake's shoulder.
Drake sighs, turning in his seat to see what Maxwell's pointing at. "I don't see anything."
"There..there was a ripple and a splash on the water. Like..like something big moved it."
When Drake turns back around Maxwell has his hand buried in the backpack, fishing for something. "Max, what are you doing?"
Maxwell's eyes are wide and he's scanning the surface of the lake for more movement. "Ssshh, Gaga will hear you."
Drake frowns with concern and then sits up straighter in the boat to look around again.
"It was probably just a big fish, Max," he says quietly. "Maybe we're finally going to catch something."
A breeze ripples the surface of the lake, and the boat tugs at its anchor line. Maxwell jumps when their fishing rods shift as well. He jerks his hand out of his bag and pulls out an antique pistol.
Drake braces his foot against the end of his fishing rod and puts his hands up and waves them back and forth frantically. He looks at Maxwell and can't believe what he's seeing, "What the Fuck?! You brought a gun on a fishing trip?! Put..that...away."
Maxwell breathes rapidly as he searches the water, swinging the antique firearm from his home's armory back and forth. "It..it was Bertrand's idea. Remember his bachelor party all those years ago, when we met up with that bear, he insisted I take it with me." 
He imitates his brother's voice as he quotes him, "No Beaumont will ever go out adventuring in the wilderness again without protection."
Drake ducks as Maxwell swings the gun back in his direction, "Seriously, Max! You know how I feel about guns. I've already been shot twice, and I'll be damned if I'll let you shoot me by accident while we're fishing."
Maxwell's hand shakes as he continues to look around nervously. Drake reaches forward with fear grinding at his stomach, he pleads with him quietly.."Max....just hand over the gun, okay? We'll pull up the anchor and just go back to shore. We don't have to fish anymore."
Nodding, Maxwell loosens his grip on the weapon as Drake wraps his hand around the barrel. Something splashes the water nearby, making Maxwell jump, causing them both to let go and drop the gun. It hits the bottom of the boat and fires. Drake screams out in pain as the bullet tears through the side of his rubber boot and lodges in the wood of the boat beside him. Water starts to trickle in, and warm blood starts to run down into his boot.
Drake yanks his boot off and pulls his foot up onto the seat and clamps his hands around his bleeding calf. "What the fuck?!" he screams, glaring at Maxwell angrily. 
Maxwell picks up the gun from the bottom of the boat and throws it overboard. "I..I'm so sorry Drake!"
Drake leans to the side, his hand shaking as he gets his pocket knife out of his back pocket. Maxwell panics and chops at Drake's wrist with his hand, causing him to drop it when Drake pries the blade free. 
"What are you doing?!" Drake barks at him with surprise and reaches for his knife again, it's now wet from the lake water pooling in the bottom of the boat.
Maxwell folds his hands over his chest, feeling embarrassment flooding his face with heat, "Oh..oh my God, I thought you were going to stab me with it, or something."
Drake grumbles as he cuts open the bottom of his bloody pant leg below the knee with the blade, "There's still time. Now either get with hauling up that fucking anchor, or calling for help before we sink goddamnit!"
Maxwell trips over the drink cooler, and soggy picnic basket as he stands up, trying to pull the anchor rope up out of the water. It won't budge, and his efforts are now causing him to rock the boat side to side dangerously. 
Drake curses to himself as he cuts a strip of denim and wraps it around his bleeding leg tightly. "Careful now, Max."
Both fishing rods teeter into the water and disappear. Drake keeps a close eye on the oars, praying they don't go next. Maxwell tries again to pull the anchor up by the rope but the nylon burns at his hands and he hisses in pain and then lets go. He stumbles back to where he was sitting and flops down heavily, wiping his sore palms on his thighs.
"I...I ca..can't. What the ..heck..did you..anchor...us to?"
Drake rinses his bloody hands in the lake, and then dries them on the sleeves of his denim shirt. "Ok then, I'll try the anchor and you try calling or texting for help."
 He cuts strips from his denim sleeves and then wraps his hands for padding. Wincing in pain he swings his leg over to straddle his seat and then reaches for the anchor rope.
Maxwell holds up his phone trying to find bars of service, "You've gotta be kidding me! Oh, wait there's a blip. I'll try sending a text to see if I can get through. Who should I try?"
Drake grunts as the rope finally starts to come up out of the water, but it was a lot heavier than it should be. Sweat bloomed on his brow and stung at his eyes, he swiped his face against his shoulder, "Preston... is standing by..in case of emergencies."
"What's his number?"
Drake rhymes off his number and grits his teeth, pulling the wet rope inch by inch into the boat. The burn in his calf muscle is intense and he wonders what ancient dirty projectile that antique pistol was loaded with. He could see Maxwell frowning down at his phone. 
"Well, did you get through?"
He shrugs, "I sent it, but don't know if it went anywhere."
Drake looks down into the water, wondering what his anchor could be tangled around to make it so heavy. He pauses to catch his breath, and feels the rope vibrate in his hands and then go still. It's almost as if something rubbed up against it and then moved on. His heart starts hammering in his chest and cold fear creeps into his gut. His throat goes dry as he takes a deep breath and drops the rope back into the water. He didn't want to see what was down there anymore. Maxwell was still trying to send panicked texts to anyone who could receive them.
"Fuck it," Drake mutters and uses his knife to cut the anchor free. 
The nylon rope floats on the surface of the water for a few seconds and then disappears into the darkness as if it were yanked. Drake jumps back with surprise and then watches, holding his breath, not wanting to believe what he was seeing. Several feet down at the deepest point that was reached by sunlight, where the clearest water went dark, an even darker shape slowly sank beneath the boat and then disappeared.
............
I've written many first time moments for Drake and (MC) Kate in various timelines and stories. But it wasn't until I started writing "What Happens in Paris.." from Kate's point of view that I found my favorite passionately charged moment between them. Feeding off the emotional evening with Drake that included Liam's second bachelor party and the never have I ever scenes, I found a way to push Drake over the edge and succumb to the mutual attraction between them.
From What Happens in Paris..
"Uh, Darling?  What do you think you're doing? You know we can't..." he says, although the look in his eyes betrays the way he really feels.
"We can't what, Drake?" I say, stepping away from the door and pressing my body up against his. He's still holding onto my hands, and now our faces are so close I can feel his breath on my cheek. 
"Darling…" he warns, as I flex my hands out of his grasp and undo the next button of his shirt. It's such a tease how he's already left the top button undone for me. My thumbs push the material aside and I slide my hands in. He takes a sharp breath in when I touch him, and I feel his chest rise and fall along with the rapid beating of his heart.
I pop another button out of its hole, and lean in to kiss his throat as my hands continue to explore his chest, tugging his shirt out of the waist of his pants. He hasn't stopped me yet, and I look up at the darkness in his eyes and the pained expression on his face. 
"Kiss me, Drake." I plead. "I know you want to."
Cupping my head in his hands, he tilts my chin up and leans in. I close my eyes. But instead of feeling his lips on mine he plants kisses along my jawline and I hear his voice rasp in my ear, hitching with desire, "And if I want to.. do more than kiss you?"
I gasp, bunching the fabric of his shirt in my fists as his nose traces the shell of my ear, and his stubble bristles against my cheek. "Ye -..."
But my reply is swallowed up by his mouth as it captures mine, and he presses me up against the door.
His kisses are hungry and I struggle for breath as he grabs my wrists again and pins them up above my head. His knee parts my thighs and I can feel how hard he is underneath his jeans.
When he finally releases my mouth, and presses his forehead against mine we're both panting. "Tell me.. to stop," he groans between breaths.
....
Drake is my favorite Choices character and thus he's the one I abuse and make suffer the most. 🤣 This next dialogue is from Cordonia 1885 between Drake and a hotel employee when they share a "holy/what the f*ck" moment that confounds them both.
Because of the grisly, graphic nature of this vampire fic I will just post a link and you can read it if you want. Cordonia 1885 - Chapter One
...
There are so many other favorite scenes/dialogue that this post could go on forever..LOL
Thanks @dcbbw for the tag, it's been so much fun to revisit some of my older stuff and experience it again. I look forward to next week's Monday Funday prompt.

Feedback is more than welcomed ❤️
Tumblr media
°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°~°
She should have seen it coming.
Part of her knew something was wrong.
Her world was in a limbo and everyone could feel it. Whispers and murmurs were the only verbal acknowledgement that anything was out of the ordinary. The sky was a murky wash of dirty paint colors, birds were silent and animals were solemn.
It was as if all matter was resting for a great awakening. The opening act.
Or rather the reopening act.
As superstition tells it, hundreds of years ago the rusted bell in the center of town, once un-ringable, clanged her glorious song, and thus the heavens opened. Hell was released. Dark, zombie-like spirits clambered for their flesh and souls.
Those who weren’t consumed and torn apart, were transformed into mutants, with a mindset akin to their own, creating a being more powerful than humans and themselves. The process was time-consuming and agonizing for both parties, therefore only a few dozen were recruited. The few humans left over gathered with the town mage, closing the portal and casting the spirits back to their dimension. Little is known about the mutants. Some say without a leader, they fled the town, although where they went is unknown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It woke you. It woke the whole town. The deep, sharp bellowing sent chills down your spine and adrenaline coursing through your veins. Everyone who heard understood it’s implications and purpose. Some were at work already, some preparing their meals, saying goodbyes before school, but within a few short seconds chaos erupted.
Clambering out of bed and through the front door, you braced yourself for the blinding sunlight, only to discover a dusky blight had fallen upon the world. Your eyes scanned the streets, men and women, a mass of panic and disarray. Instantly you recognized a familiar face, your almost-next-door-neighbor.
“Sam!” You caught his attention for a second before he shook his head and turned to the sky, fear laced in his eyes. You were afraid to look, almost knowing what you were going to find. Curiosity took its hold on, your eyes slowly trailing up to the apparent spectacle above you.
The sight was one you’ll never get out of your head, the sky opening up, letting darkness and ghost-like wispy creatures flood the earth like ants at a picnic. Any initial terror was magnified tenfold when a scream pierced through the air. Simultaneously snapping everyone to their senses, the crowd began stirring, shoving to get in any direction away from that.
“C'mon we gotta get out of here” Sam’s hand tugging on your arm, pulling you downtown with the crowd. There was shoving, another scream, followed by another, and another. Sam pulls you into a tight dimly-lit alley between two houses, both of your breathing heavy, and eyes frantic.
“Steve!” Sam called to the figure walking past the alley, and suddenly there were three figures in the alley- oh he’s got a plus one. A very large plus one.
Three men heavily breathing on you while the world erupted into chaos? Not exactly what you had planned this morning.
“Who’s she?” The plus one rasped, his voice dry from running, you assume. His eyes are piercing blue, even in the shade of the alley.
“A neighbor.”
“I’m Steve.” Followed by, what was supposed to be an outstretched hand, but in the tight conditions, just an awkward arm spasm, almost hitting your hip.
“Yeah, I gathered that much,” You joked, out of breath “I’m Y/N.”
“Cool. We don’t really have time for this shit.” Oooooh nameless plus one has a bit of an attitude. Duly noted. “We need to get away from the crowd if we want any chance at survival. They’re herding us like bison right now.” Pissy Pants has made a solid point.
“We could go to Natalia’s house?” Steve proposed optimistically,
“Mmm She’s-” An unnervingly close scream cut him off, he quirked a dark eyebrow underneath a long mess of hair. “She’s close to the docks.” he finished, “Let’s go, on three”
“Wait, wait, waaaait. Slow down, Tin Man”
Another quirked eyebrow, but this time it’s directed at Sam. It was a good look on him.
“We’re leaving. If you want to come, then come. Otherwise, just stay here and wait to die.”
“Bucky!” A whisper-yelled scolding from Steve. Wait, is his name Bucky? His mom must’ve been hitting the good stuff when she picked that.
Sam rolled his eyes and looked to you, awaiting your response.
“He’s probably right”
“That’s a big ‘probably’, Y/N.”
“Well there only one way to find out,” something between a scoff and a laugh escaped “Bucky’s” lips, and it would have surprised you, had it not been for his sudden countdown.
And as planned, you all bolted on “three”. Steve and his buddy leading the way through some kind of sick obstacle course. A second wave of adrenaline pulsed through your veins and sends your heart crashing against your chest. The pounding in your ribcage and ears is not unlike the sudden and loud noise behind you.
This had to be a dream.
There’s no other reasonable explanation, right?
A million various anxiety-provoking thoughts streamed through your head on a conveyer belt. Everything, and potentially everyone you know is being destroyed.
That’s lovely.
Upon arrival at Natalia’s house, the brilliant young men discovered that it was locked… And now you’re in the shed. Another dark, enclosed space with the three boys, but fortunately, this one farther from the screams.
“We need to devise a more long term plan.” Shorty with the hair has apparently mistaken this for a boy scouts training mission, and elected himself “troop guide”. He’s right, nevertheless.
“What do you have in mind?”
A glint of metal shifts across from you. A shovel maybe?
“They probably won’t be operating it, but taking the boat would be a good choice.”
“This is Bucky, by the way,” Steve whispers and gestures to him. You nod, Yup, gathered that much.
Bucky’s really got a vendetta against that shovel next to him.
“If we took a boat, we’d either be super screwed or super safe.” Sam offered,
“Okay, but what about our families? We’re just gonna leave them?”
Between Bucky sighing, and Steve grimacing, the answer doesn’t look good.
“Doll, this is survival of the fittest at this point. There’s no telling if they’re alive, and if we go out searching for them, we won’t last. We’re responsible for ourselves right now.” Bucky’s voice was softer than you were accustomed to, but still firm.
He was right. Now wasn’t the time to do something stupid and self-sacrificial-
“We could try-”
“Steve, he’s right. We could be looking for, God forbid, dead people. Or they could be safe and we’d get ourselves killed searching for them.” You hated what you were saying. You hated that the situation has come to this point. It’s been an hour and you’ve already resorted to abandoning your family. What’s next? Eating each other?
You shudder at the thought.
“Should we send someone to scope the docks, or should we all just go on three?” Sam, out here asking the real questions.
“Sendin’ someone to scope would kinda be a terrible idea, but I’ll volunteer if we’re gonna do it.”
“I say we die together.” 6 horrified eyes stare back at you. You clap your hands “Alright! let’s do it!”
“I’m down,” Sam shrugs
Everyone unceremoniously rising at once, serving as a reminder that this was, yet another, very tight space for 4 people to coexist in.
Upon standing, Bucky shifted into a stream of light coming from on of the cracks in between the wall panels. The once presumed shovel, is now very clearly not a shovel
“Oh fuck,” You whisper.
That’s his arm.
This shouldn’t have come as a surprise, mechanical and prosthetic limbs weren’t entirely uncommon in Aeston. You just somehow missed that small detail in the panic and chaos.
Wait, he was running in front of you the whole time, were you really THAT oblivious?
It was only when he let out a small chuckle, did you realize that you were staring, eliciting another mumbled “Oh fuck”
Thankfully, he changed the topic to a countdown. Everyone began preparing for a potential death, and on his cue, they silently fled. Steve and Bucky naturally taking the lead as you began to wonder where is this boat anyway?
That was your largest concern, until you rounded a corner and were met with Steve’s eerily large back. When you saw what stopped him, you wished you’d never left the shed.
A woman in her mid-fifties, half of her body was carnage, clearly having been dragged through the street. She had been consumed from the waist down, allowed her insides to spill onto the cobbled road. Worse yet, she was still being eaten.
Sam was equally as distraught as you, his eyes wet with fear and his hand trembling near his parted lips. The creature snapped it’s head up from her carcass, the gray skin of it’s face coated in blood. Up close you could see that it didn’t have a body, the flesh of the face faded into smokey darkness.
It opened its mouth and released a noise that sounded something in between a squeaky door, and a growl. Chills shot down your limbs, and you had to bite your lip to keep from crying. Your whole body was numb from fear, the blood draining out of your complexion.
Steve and Bucky began to slowly back up, one of their hands took residence on your arm and guided you behind them, and away. The very second they couldn’t see it anymore, Bucky whispered “Run.”
Fighting your shaking legs to function was a difficult task, focusing all your energy on not tripping. The pounding of your shoes on the road mimicking the one in your chest. Bucky’s back was your guiding light, and damn he was fast. Your lungs began to burn.
You were definitely not getting enough oxygen.
He hopped off a ledge and onto the sand a few feet below and ushered you down and under a pier. Grateful for a break, you scurried down and collapsed on the ground, panting. Your hands still shaking terribly, and you’re sure that even if you hadn’t just run 45mph, your heart would still be exploding against your chest. The image of the woman replaying in your head.
That could’ve been any one of you. That’s the reality you’re living in right now.
You don’t want this. This is bad. It’s childish of you to wish for a time machine, but you do. You’re desperate to feel safe for even a moment.
You also really don’t want to cry. Not here, not now, not in front of everyone. Crying isn’t practical and it’s not going to save you. Tough it out, you tell yourself.
Steeling yourself, you take a breath. Steve looks like he’s worse off than you. Though no one is shedding tears, the panic, horror and trauma is spelled out in their features and in their mannerisms. You wouldn’t have to be observant to note the almost tangible air of anxiety under the pier.
You and Bucky compose yourselves first, him being concerningly only half-affected. He opened his mouth to presumably say something comforting but was interrupted.
“Do you hear that?” Everyone held their breath for a moment, and all at once they noticed the whisper of hushed voices somewhere on the pier above. The soft knock of shoes against the wood. Sam and Steve still disoriented from the previous events, but the distraction wholly welcomed.
Bucky held up a finger and ducked out from under his cover, quickly pulling himself up onto the pier. You hear his heavy footsteps carry about twenty feet away, and then his low gravelly voice added to the rest. You’re unable to make out what he’s saying, but his serious tone quickly switched to a surprised and happy one.
Well that’s a good sign.
The engagement draws to an end, and the heavy clunk falls closer and closer to you, and then with a big thump he lands on the sand beside you.
“We’re good. Boat’s leaving in 10 minutes. They’re stocked with clothes and supplies and shit.” His voice was unnervingly chipper.
“And Steve, you’ll never believe who I found,” Another figure hopped in the sand next to him, a small girl who looked only a few years older than you.
The plus one has a plus one.
“Nat?” Steve asked, he still sounded weak, but carrying the same cheeriness as his colleague.
“Hey big guy,” Her voice was smouldering and husky, you’d be lying if you said it didn’t do things to you. It was the perfect contrast to her doll-like charm.
Wow, I can’t believe Bucky recruited an angel to save us.
“So these are the friends you were telling me about..” When she spoke those words, you realized you all probably looked bedraggled and forlorn, crouching under a rather short pier. Both Samuel and You were still in your pajamas. How embarrassing. “They’re cute,” Oh.
Wait, 'friends’?
“C'mon, we’ll get you sorted.” She glanced around her, scanning for any threats, before offering her hand to you. You accepted it and less than gracefully stumbled out into the open, finally taking note of your surroundings for the first.
It was the downtown pier, the one outletting to the Solair River, also known as “the river so huge it should probably be considered an ocean”.
Steve immediately assumed the role of Introducing everybody, awkward, but sweet. Apparently this was the “Nat” whose shed you inhabited. Cool.
Her constant glancing around and hurried steps almost made her seem paranoid, but her demeanor and casual conversation with Bucky told an entirely different story. Her hand on your lower back ushered you into silent line loading onto the ship.
You were boarding, leaving, escaping the life you knew with your neighbor and three people you’ve never met before. Putting your faith in them and trusting them in such a dangerous situation would either be your downfall or your saving grace.
Fear was silent and smelled like sand and cool, murky water.

Imagine you and Spiderman being like Adrien and Bridget from ML
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Incase y'all don't know wtf this prompt is— Basically it's [Name] with a crazy crush on Peter but he's either totally oblivious to it, un-purposefully ignore her, or is focusing on another girl. Meanwhile, he -as both spiderman and peter- completely falls in love with her hero alter ego albeit she shows no interest in Spiderman whatsoever. I got this idea after watching a bit of the Miraculous Ladybug original concept video and just had a sort of breakthrough. Anyways, on with the story.
———
“Hey, Peter...” You scrambled to navigate through the sea of fellow classmen, desperate to catch up to your object of interest. He just wasn't hearing you, and that deeply plummeted your mood. Before you knew it, he was gone— Disappearing into the crowd probably never to be seen again until lunch classes.
Peter Parker, biggest geek in highschool. Always bullied, always harassed in ways you thought were impossible. He seemed like the type to keep his head low and live an honest normal life, but little did anyone have clue on about his contrasting alter ego— Spiderman. As said hero of Queens, Peter could do everything he couldn't do as an average teenager. Who knew red and blue spandex was the key to becoming famous?
You sighed as thoughts of Peter bubbled into your head and revolved without signs of stopping. His nerdish and oh-so dorky quirks were the center of your attention aside from his baby face. Not to admit it, but you were in love with the charmer like a mad puppy. But the thing is— He never took notice of you. Hell, he probably doesn't even know that you exist. The only time you two ever met gazes was during class switches, before school, in the middle of lunch, or after school. Other than that, you were a ghost pretty much.
Today was no different from the rest; besides there being the fact that a pair of tickets were in your left hands hold. They crumpled up when your grip increased tenfold, tears threatening to pour down your eyes. ‘This is so unfair.’ You thought to yourself. ‘Why is it that whenever I try to start something with him... Fate just doesn't allow it?’ Your heart fell heavy into your chest. People would call you callow or petty for thinking what you did, but the thing of the matter is that your crush has been the same since elementary school years and continued from there. There was no doubt in your mind that Peter Parker was the one for you.
But, then again, he doesn't even know who you are.
Thankfully, you had a way to change that.
“Hey, Peter!” This morning, you wasted no time in dashing and shoving anyone who dared to get in your way out of eyesight and tracked the chocolate haired boy to a more secluded part of the hallways. The both of you were panting a bit, tired from all of the post-exercise. “P-Peter... Parker...” You breathed out, hands on your knees. “I am... I'm...” Before you could continue on and let him know who you were, the bell rang. Whoopdy-effing-doo. Oh how you wanted to pummel your bad luck into a pulp. “Sorry, I gotta go... Maybe later?” He cringed a bit, aware of how inconsiderate he was being towards you.
With those words left in his wake on your mind, he hurried off to his next class. It took some moments to pass by until a more than visible red hue formed on your face in a horitonzal fashion. Your pair of hands raised to slap your cheeks and squish them in multiple different ways, meanwhile you wore the most lovesick expression you swore you could make without seeming like you were on drugs.
‘Maybe later, he said..’ You recited his words in your head over and over like a song. Small yelps and cheers of joy escaped your lips as the thought didn't cease to fade away. Step one to getting acknowledged was complete. Now if only you could—
“[Name], there's a robbery down at the city bank.” A robotisized voice rang through your left ear. You sighed heavily. “Uggghh. That's not my problem, Stein. Let the police handle it.” Your hand waved through the air. “It seems to be another one of Electro's heists.” “.... UGGGGHHH.” Getting to the city and back would put your last two periods to waste no doubt and you'd also lose a chance to go out and establish a bond with the apple of your eye. But after hearing that Electro was involved, you found that there was no other choice but to go out and do this. Besides, the cops wouldn't stand a chance against him.
‘I'm sorry Peter, you'll have to talk to me sometime later.’ You silently apologized to your crush in your mind, hoping that he would telepathically get your message. Afterwards, you ran into the nearest bathroom and then was seen jumping out the window into the street, except your attire had changed completely. Instead of being dressed down in the usual ‘[Name] wear’, a skin-tight bodysuit overtook you, a half of a face mask covering your face whilst a horn headband was slapped atop of your shimmering hair.
You hopped and skipped from building to building, the voice in your left earring continuing to speak. “There seems to be several hostages under his clutches. He seems to be anticipating the arrival of somebody... My bet is on you, [Name].” He hypothesized. “Oh put a damn sock in it.” You huffed.
After a few more leaps into the air, you skidded off the edge of a shop building and landed directly in the open circle of crowding people. They had instantly moved out of your way at your arrival, going into a state of indistinctive chattering. “I-It's Queen!” A man exclaimed, noticing you right away as you began to talk to a nearby police officer to get the scoop on what's going on.
Queen— Your alter ego hero self, affiliated with the avengers as a late bloomer type. Your powers consisted of shifting into anything solid along with a side of light generation from your hands. The shifting part of your ability allowed you to increase the speed of your cells, making your body seem as though it were gas, and slipping through solids without a problem. The other part is self-explanatory. To be quite frank, Queen was a alias that your supporting fans had made and you just went along with it, that name eventually sticking to you like glue and becoming your permanent hero name. Funny thing, really, cuz you were the Queen of Queens New York.
“I see,” You nodded at the information the cop divulged with you. “Thank you. Now please, stand back, it may get too hectic alright?” At your words the cop nodded, giving orders to back the people who crowded the front of the bank up. You jumped onto the top of the building, holding your breath and phasing through the roof. It took naught but a few seconds later for you to be landing perfectly on your feet, an all-too familiar laugh echoing from far away. The floors were wet. Oh how you've been through this song and dance one too many times before. “Stein, I need a heat signature scan all around if you don't mind.” You whispered into your earpiece.
“7 of them, each of them with their pulses fulctuating at rapid speeds.” The AI spoke. “He must've already pulled a stunt on them before the police arrived.” The first priority before moving on to Electro was to evacuate the premises of any remaininf victims. And that's exactly what you did. It was hard since most of them were all in different and difficult to reach places of the bank but the number was instantly knocked down to one left.
You scratched your head and thought aloud. “Where's the last one at...?”
“You mean, this body right here?” A menacing cackle interrupted, you turning your direction to whence it came from only to witness Electro standing a few feet away from you, hostage in a chokehold on his left arm. In the other arm was the occasional sack of cash that you were sure he wouldn't get away with. Your eyes rolled, unintentionally getting a glimpse of a familiar spandex wearing hero. He was new and all. Round of applause everyone, for the one and only Spiderman.
When he saw that you were staring directly at him, he waved, then making various hand motions that you somehow in god understood. Basically he was going to shoot a string of web at the hostage and hoist them up, stealing them from Electros grip and giving you chance to take the preemptive and just go wild— But also take caution into not destroying the place.
As Electro went on and on with his planned monologue, Spiderman used the chance for when his eyes were closed to not only shoot some web in his face as a stunning effect, but also managed to snag the hostage in one fell swoop. Two birds with one stone— Neat. “What is this substance on my face!?” Electro screamed, trying to claw it off but to no avail. You laughed at this scene. For some reason, Spiderman had the oddest feeling that he had recognized your voice from somewhere. After the fit of chuckles faded, you made sure to give your target such a hard two-piece, that Spiderman swore he saw some teeth flew out of his mouth.
‘Whoa...’ Was the only thing that crossed his mind. Despite your petite figure, you were strong enough to knock a grown man unconscious with just one slug? “You can take it from here, Spider-guy. I've got better things to do besides turning him in. You can do that on my behalf, right?” You yawned, making your way towards the south exit, away from the mob. “O-of course, miss Queen!” He hopped off the ceiling and landed to the ground, ensuring to web the now knocked out cold ‘threat’ up real good and give the police to bust in finally. Once they did, he trailed right after where he saw you leave, only to catch you flipping and twirling in the air with such haste.
Even behind the mask anyone could see the smile forming as his eyes lit up just from seeing you. Needless to say here, but he was all over you. A complete and utter fanboy who joined the wave after witnessing some viral videos of you committing deeds that he would usually perform.
“H-hey, wait up!” He called after you, tailing the direction you went. “Huh?” Feeling that call be directed to you, your head clocked round to see the same spiderboy from before, flipping onto a pipe in front of you. “Oh, you again.” Your expression deflated a slight bit at his presence. “What is it?” You asked, hoping to get him out of your hair quickly. “Oh, well, I-I, uhm...” He stammered over his words, taking in the beauty of yourself in whole as something to beheld. “Queen, your last period is almost closing. Be sure to wrap this up quickly.” Stein reminded you, causing a shrill screech to release from your parted lips. “CRAAAAPPP!!!!” You instantly turned your back towards Peter and took off without another word, disappearing into the city.
Spiderman just stood there, processing what had just transpired. This was rare. Well, him getting all tounge tied while underneath the mask he called Spiderman. Seemed like your charismatic charms overpowered his. Not like that wasn't to be expected — You were pretty cute if he'd have to agree with your thousands of rowdied fanboys and girls. Jeesh, he felt himself falling head over heels for you instantly.
“I'm here!” You exhaled, busting the door to your last period classroom. There was no reason for you to give a damn about all the eyes laid on you when you performed such an action. After all, “[Name] Stark. Just on time before the bell rings.” You were the daughter of the most famous idol in all of New York, so school imaging meant nothing.
As soon as the bell rang, you were in the hallways being swamped with the rest of your classmates. In the middle of all the traffic, a shoulder bumped into yours. “H-hey, what the hell—” Turns out, it was the absolute love of your life once again— Walking out of your eyesight and never to be seen again until tomorrow morning.
‘Dammit. I still had time and couldn't give him the tickets.’ You mentally pouted with that curse.

Hi, thank you for your very good tumblr! I saw your post on raw diets and while my cat is perfectly happy on canned food, I've always wondered why BARF enthusiasts don't do the obvious thing and just... feed whole chi/cks and r/ats like snake keepers often have to? You seem like you researched raw feeding more than me, I just wondered if you'd ever seen it discussed!
I’ll cover my butt again here and say that yeah, I don’t feed my cats BARF diets for my own personal reasons. The reasons I’ve listed below. Because, anon, I’ve actually thought about providing my cats an all natural prey diet such as one you’ve suggested. And I immediately ran into problems with it. I have my previous post about BARF diets and what I personally think of them, so I’ll reiterate here. This is my personal opinion. This is what I’ve discovered from reading vets personal opinions about raw and BARF diets. This is also what I’ve discovered in my own class that praises raw/BARF diets (I’m the odd one out). If you are personally a fan of BARF diets, and have found one that works, that’s awesome, and I’m happy for you and your animal(s)! 
I have actually found raw food websites that offer feeder animals similar to those a snake or other pets would eat! They do exist, but they’re not as common. The issues are the same as when a cat kills and eats in the wild, though.The cat may not receive the required nutrition for a healthy life. Meaning some vitamins or minerals. Take rabbit, for example. High in protein, not high in fat or other nutrients, (In humans it’s a phenomenon called “rabbit starvation”, which occurs when a human eats ONLY rabbit. Although you’re getting enough protein, or enough calories, you’re not getting enough of anything else so you develop this unique form of malnutrition). Yes, you can feed your cat a combination of rodents or birds so they have a more varied diet, but in the end, you still need to be sure to add the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals for a healthy, balanced diet.Cats can choke on bones, or get clogged up due to eating too much fur (either their own or their prey’s). It comes down to the fact that cats honestly don’t live very long in the wild for these reasons. Wanting to bring your cat closer to a more natural diet is going to shorten its life the closer you get. You want ground up bones and removed skin and feathers to cut down on the choking hazards. HOWEVER the bones are usually where the highest levels of taurine are, and cat nutrition 101 explains that cats absolutely need taurine to survive (it’s one of the main reasons can survive on vegetarian diets). While cats can chew bones and break them for most animals, the way cats eat (basically just surrounding their food with saliva and swallowing the whole darn thing), is essentially just one big choking incident waiting to happen. So to avoid this, you have what you usually get for raw food/BARF diets. You get a meaty sort of paste with necessary vitamins and minerals added in, with all of the choking hazards removed.Another pretty simple reason is that it’s messy as heck. And when you’re handling raw animal, you want mess at an absolute minimum. As of right now, once you start a raw diet, get used to disinfecting everything. A lot. Anywhere your cat might eat, or if they eat and then sit somewhere and clean themselves, you’ll have to disinfect that surface too. If you’re unsure of how much you’ll have to disinfect, think of it this way. Is your cat a messy eater? Do they get food just EVERYWHERE when you give them wet food? Well now not only do you have to clean up any food mess, but you now you also have to DEEPLY sanitize it so you yourself don’t get dangerously ill! While cats can handle raw food a little better than us humans (except in cases of salmonella, as I mentioned in my last post about raw food diets), we’re still susceptible to cross contamination and the illnesses that arise from it. Whole animal prey needs to be torn up in order to be eaten, which basically throws the possibility of contamination through the roof. Do a test run! Throw some wet food in a puzzle feeder and look at the mess it makes. Then think “Wow everything that this item and its insides have touched need to be deep cleaned”. Then cry a little, if you’re me.
Like I said before, if you really REALLY want to do a BARF/raw diet and you’ve done all your research and you know exactly how cat digestion and cat nutrition works and you feel confident that you can reach your cat’s nutritional needs 100% then absolutely talk to your vet about starting your cat on a BARF/raw diet. If you want to try feeder animals, then bring it up to your vet. Some vets are willing to work with people who want to start their animals on BARF diets, so you’ll have to find one first. I absolutely do not recommend any form of raw diet without a vet’s close help. If you can’t find a vet who’s willing to help you, though, you’re going to want to re-think it.Thank you so much for your question!
