Late night cravings

Summary:where the reader is craving  and she wakes Jude up to her her food

A/n: I am well aware of the war that is happening between Israel and Palestine and I just want to say I support Palestine, but I want to let you know that before reading this there will be mentions of companies that are owed by Israel so consider this a warning when reading also the timeline of these events are before the war or the war is nonexistent and is not taking place

__________________________________________

It's 3 in the morning and I'm tossing and turning in bed, I turn to my left and find Jude is fast asleep, how can he be asleep, how can he fall asleep so easily

I sigh, giving up on finding a comfortable position and just lying on my back, my pregnancy bump just slightly peeking out in my line of vision, I stare at the ceiling for a while and think about how life is going to be in a few months, having babies and a  being mother, and in a few years being referred to as mom, the new responsibilities I'll have, I can't lie I'm terrified, I mean you see all these cases of mother's mental health decrease and how they have post partum depression after giving birth, what If I became like that and start hating my babies because of their existence, and those poor children won't understand a thing that is happening, just that their mother doesn't want them, or what if I just get depressed, and the need to do anything just disappears, I mean I can't afford to be depressed, it's going to affect the babies especially when I'll be breastfeeding and all

I sigh again and try not to look at the negative side of the situation, Jude said I should always call him or wake him up whenever I feel like this so he can reassure me and make me feel like everything is going to be ok, but I don't want to bother him, especially when it's so late, he's already got a lot on his plate, I continue staring at the ceiling just tapping on my belly for a while, and that seems to have woken my unborn children because they start kicking, it must be a party in there

"Ok guys go back to bed, it's too early for you guys to be awake" I whisper

I sigh for the 3rd time knowing it won't work

All of a sudden I feel the urge to eat like I haven't eaten in a while, I'm craving McDonald's,  KFC, and oddly enough something sweet, I don't know what but I'm craving something sweet

I try to ignore my hunger but I can't , I use my arms and hands to make me sit up and turn my head towards Jude then sigh again

"Jude"

"Babe"

"Jude wake up"

He wakes up and looks at me with tired eyes

I instantly regret waking him up the minute I see his eyes

"It's ok honey go back to bed"

"No, what is it, what do you need me to do"

"No, it's alright, it's not important anyway"

"Well, it must be if you woke me up at 3:30 in the morning"

"No it's not, go back to sleep, I'm sorry for waking you up"

"You know I'm not going back to sleep if you're not going to tell me what's wrong" he says

We sit in silence for about 5 minutes

"I'm hungry" I say

"Ok" he says getting out of bed finding his pants and putting them, then his socks followed by his shoes and a black hoodie, he then grabs his phone and opens it

"What do you need" he asks

"No, come back to bed, you don't need to do anything"

"Honey I'm already out of bed, you might aswell tell me"

"Ok, I want two big mac's from McDonald's, hot wings from KFC 24 pieces, a medium sized pizza with cheese, chicken pepperoni, apple juice, and something sweet, I don't know what but I want something sweet"

"Is that all?"

I nod and he says

"Ok, I'll be back soon"

He slightly climbs over the bed and kisses my forehead

"Don't feel bad love, I don't mind going out to get you food"

"You sure?"

"Definitely"

He leaves the room and walks downstairs, opens the front door and he's out

It's only after an hour when I hear the front door open again indicating that Jude is home, I hear him come up the stairs, walk down the passage and the door to our room opens

I see him holding take out and he walks over to me and places everything on the bed

"Ok, so I got everything you asked me for but I didn't know what type of sweet thing you wanted so I got you your favorite sweets/candy and your favorite cake, is it too much?

"No no honey it's perfect"

"You sure?"

"Mhm"

"Ok"

"Thank you"

"You're welcome"

He takes his shoes off and goes to his closet to put them away, he comes back and sits on the bed while I start eating my food in silence

I then turn to him and see him lying on his back with his eyes, I place one of the big mac's on his lap and he looks at me

"What are you doing?" He asks

"Have something to eat"

"No it's fine babe go ahead besides you're eating for 3"

"Yes but you still need to eat"

He sighs and takes the burger from his lap and we eat in silence

"You know, we still haven't come up with any baby names" I say

"Babe we'll name them when they arrive"

"We can't name them when they arrive who do you think we are kylie Jenner?"

He laughs at my comment

"Their names have to have Js though" he says

"No"

"Their names will be different but similar"

"Like?"

"What about Ella and Alex?"

"Or Beatrice And Brandon"

"Beatrice?"

"Yeah"

"That's an old lady's name"

"Madison and Mason"

"No, I'm not really feeling it

"What about Brian and Brianna"

"Ok we'll put that in the idea box, it's not bad"

"Really?"

"Yeah, what about Cara and Carter"

"Hmm, Cara and Carter Bellingham"

"Brian and Brianna Bellingham"

"O I like it"

"I know"

"Ok but on a serious note we need to discuss how we're going to raise these kids Jude"

"What do u mean?"

"Ways of discipline, what if they do something we won't approve of how would we react, what if they come out and they're part of the LGBTQ, what then what?"

"Ok, ways of discipline?"

"Yeah, we need to think about those"

"Simple we'll just beat them"

"I'm not hitting my children"

"Fine, then I'll do it"

"Jude"

"I'm joking, we can take away the things the love, like toys ban them from going to friends, you know all the soft stuff"

"Ok what about the age they can Start dating, and being in relationships?"

"Brian can date when he's 13 but Brianna is dating when she's 28"

"That's insane, we going to treat our kids equally, we can't discriminate because of their genders"

"Fine, both at 13 then" he says rolling his eyes at me

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I ask

"yeah why, you wanna pull a Christian Grey on me"

"The fact that you can make that reference"

"Yeah, I can"

"Jude we're supposed to be talking about our Future and the Future of our kids"

"Ok, ok sorry"

"Then the LGBTQ thing"

"We disown them immediately" he says in a dramatic way

"Well it won't make me happy either but I guess we'll live with it, they are our children at the end of the day"

"Yeah"

"And the involvement of our parents in their lives, what boundaries need to be set"

"They need to be present that's for sure, buy them gifts and spoil them rotten, I just want them to make a strong connection and bond"

"Yeah that's for sure"

"What about sleep schedules"

"For us or for them?"

"For us"

"We'll take turns"

"One day it's my turn to stay the night with them, then then the next it's your turn, but if it's the both of them being fussy then we can both be awake, and rotate each twin  by the hour"

"What methods should we use If they don't want to sleep?"

"Music, white noises I heard that's good and relaxation for when you're trying to sleep so we'll use that or classical music it's up to them really

"And their sleep schedules?"

"20:00, that's their bed Time, everything must be done before that"

"And sports , that they'll play"

"You already know the answer to that question, I don't even know why you're asking that"

He laughs and I smile at him

"Social media for them?"

"Well considering who their dad is we need them to use other names, and they must be private accounts"

"At what age?"

"14 is when it can happen"

"So social media and phones at 14?"

"Yeah"

"And a trust fund?"

"Most definitely having that, we never know when things go South"

"Ok"

"And I think we should go for Therapy"

"Why, our marriage is not on the rocks"

"I know but I want us to strengthen our relationship and relate to eachother better, you might have things that I do that you don't like and things you do that I don't like, we were very young when we met, and they say time changes people we aren't the same people we were when we met"

"Fine, we'll go"

"And this will strengthen our marriage as well so it's a plus"

"Ok love, anything that makes you feel comfortable"

"Thank you"

"You know I'm glad we're doing this"

"Yeah same"

"That way if any problem is thrown at us we'll be prepared for it"

"True"

He leans in for a kiss and I do the same, I'm about to attach our lips when I feel something coming up my throat

Puke

I quickly open my eyes and run to the bathroom

"Oh wow if I disgust you so much then why'd you marry me"

"Jude"

"No really answer the question"

"It's the sight of your face, it makes me sick

"Very funny"

"It's not a joke" I say brushing my teeth

"Do you wanna cuddle"

"Yeah"

"C'mon then"

I walk towards him and lay my head on his chest and he plays his hand on my belly

"We've got footballers brewing in there"

"Jude, if they choose that they don't want to be footballers then please don't force them or make them feel bad about it or even force them, I want them to make their own decisions

"Fine, but I will be disappointed though"

"Understandable"

Hehehe...Minnie Drabble about going to the convenience store (based on the text posts I made🥺🥺)/ sneak peek

1:17am

That's the time his phone told him when he saw your texts. He was tired and confused as to why you were up...and wanted to go to the convenience store. "It's 1am...why would you wanna go to the store?" He grumbled to himself,slipping out of bed and throwing a hoodie on. "You're lucky I love you so much." Is what he whispered mumbled, slipping his shoes on and grabbing his keys so he could go to your apartment. It was only a 5 minute walk and soon enough he arrived and was let in. Tiredly he knocked on your door," open the door. I'm tired." He texted you, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. A few seconds later , he was met with you, clad in your matching hoodie and slippers on." Hi Minnie! Ready to go?" You smiled, closing your apartment door and kissing his cheek. "Yeah yeah. Still don't get why you wanna go to the store at 1am." He yawned, conjoining your hands and walking you to the elevator. " couldn't sleep and needed a snack," was all you got out before releasing a yawn and cuddling into his chest." You're lucky I love you," he'd joke , holding you closer to him. " was having a good dream , ya know, bug?" "Ooh did ya dream of me?" You giggled, chin against his chest to look up him, not hearing the elevator door open.

Pulling you out of the elevator and apartment building into the cold night air , he tiredly laughed. "You wish,bug." Pouting, you squeezed his hand." You don't dream of me ?" You whined, furrowing your eyebrows," nope, you're enough to deal with while I'm awake , sleep is a break from you," he laughed kissing your cheek, approaching the store. (That was a lie, he dreams about you, daydreams about you, and is always thinking of you)."Meanie, I dream of you." You pouted, opening the door and walking to the snack aisle, the cashier tiredly greeting you. "Bub, you want anything?" You asked, feeling his arms around you as you picked out some snacks--a few being his favourites. "Yeah, to go to sleep," he mumbled pushing his face in your neck. "Okay okay I get itttttt Minnie," you giggled pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Seriously, I don't want any. You already got mine, bug." He smiled, waddling behind you to the register. Placing your items down, you grabbed your wallet." Bub dont try. It was my idea so I'm paying." You'd chided, lovingly as you tapped your card on the reader. "Alrighty sleepyhead, let's go home." You whispered, as he slid out from behind you to walk by your side.

When you you back to your apartments, seungmim made himself comfortable, wanting to go back to sleep. He laid a blanket over himself and cuddled himself into your side. "Min min, do you want so-" you started to say. But when you looked down at him, he was fast asleep, a small smile on his face. Quickly finishing your snack, you laid back on the couch, him on top of you (not dirty just cute) and kissed the top of his head. "Love you my Minnie," you whispered falling asleep , hearing a soft "love you more my baby," leave his lips.🥺🥺🥺

Megumi Fushiguro ☆ Overwork

Megumi x Fem!Reader

Genre: 🥀/☁️

Word Count: 2673

Trigger warnings ⚠️: a bit of swearing, themes of overworking to the point it is damaging. depression, some gore and violence.

hey ya'll!! this is a request from the sweetest person alive who dm me just to say my Megumi content was good so love you lots @bqvs !! 💜💜🎵🎵

anyways I hope you enjoy!! mwah!

also I haven't edited cause im a lazy bum :P

Second Person POV

All your life, you had felt lesser than everyone else. No matter what you did you would feel like you weren't good enough for anyone.

However, instead of being the type of person to sit around and wait for something to magically happen, you would work towards what you wanted, even if it meant losing sleep and your health being at an all time low.

Obviously things did not change when you joined Jujutsu Tech…yes, there were way less students which helped, but the students were also exceptionally strong, you felt like a puny little shrimp compared to them. Especially Megumi.

When you first joined you were really laid back, you really got along with Megumi, Yuji and Nobara but of course you had to mess up on your first mission together.

Which resulted in you being saved by Megumi and it seems being saved by Megumi was a common occurrence (by common occurrence you mean every mission)

Of course, you ended up falling hard for Megumi after all the times he acted as your Knight in shining armour along with his redeeming qualities. You also envied him and wanted to be as strong as he was and make him acknowledge you and maybe even love you…

As much as you liked Megumi, you were getting more depressed each day. You were completely and utterly useless compared to him. It seemed that Gojo also noticed you struggling a bit more than the others…so he began pairing you with stronger sorcerers to protect you and even then you would be pretty useless there too.

So in the end, not only are you spending less time with Megumi, but also being basically useless on all your missions.

No matter how hard you worked, you wouldn't improve. No one even notice the amount of effort you were putting in.

Usually you would hang out with all the students, especially Megumi, you were used to putting a facade on. Pretending that you weren't depressed and low…but even masking that was becoming difficult.

You had lost weight from not eating properly, you were always tired, you had lost your usual energy and you were extremely slow and sluggish, which further impacted your performance in missions.

You had been sent on a mission by Gojo to defeat a curse with Nanami. Yet another mission with an adult…

"Y/N, you think you will be alright on this one?" Gojo asked seemingly noticing something was wrong too.

You sighed, but immediately tried to put up a fake smile. In all honesty last night you were training so much that you didn't get any sleep and had to drink about 5 cups of coffee to keep you awake.

"Yep! When will I be able to go on a mission with Megumi again…"

You missed spending time with Megumi incredibly.

"Soon! Anyways off you guys go!" Gojo waved you off as you and Nanami began your trip.

You had been on many missions with Nanami (mainly due to protection reasons) so he knew you well, which also meant he knew something was wrong.

"Y/N, are you well and able to do this mission?" you were walking behind Nanami dragging your feet from tiredness as his question made you perk up slightly.

"I'm fine! I'm actually feeling much better I think I'll be more useful today!" you laughed.

That was all a lie. You felt like shit. But, knowing Nanami, if he knew that he wouldn't let you try at all.

When you found the curse and began fighting it, your tiredness made you weak and slow. You were barely dodging the attacks. At some points, you would shut your eyes and they wouldn't open again.

"Y/N! Fall back! Stop fighting! You will get hurt!"

Nanami's warnings went over your head as you went in for another attack. You felt a sharp pain in your side. You looked down to see your side stabbed and blood spreading through your clothes. Your breathing hitched as you fell to the ground with a thud, everything going black around you.

All in all, Nanami defeated the curse and you were just another failure.

When you both made it back to Jujutsu Tech. You had been treated by Ieiri (who had grown accustomed to seeing you) and you were resting in the infirmary.

Megumi POV

I know something is wrong with Y/N.

The day she joined I felt an unusual attraction to her. The way she smiles regardless of the situation and the kindness she shows to everyone around her…

Y/N is the closest anyone has gotten to me and I do have feelings for her as much as I want to deny it.

However, I've seen her health plummeting, she sleeps in class sometimes, constant injuries after missions…something wasn't right and I knew it even if no one else did.

One night, I heard constant banging noises and when getting up to find out what it was I saw Y/N, punching her punching bag like there was no tomorrow.

Her knuckles were bleeding, each hit she gave her legs quivered from tiredness, her heavy breathing sounded as if she was having a heart attack. My heart clenched to see her in this state.

Why is she working herself to this extent? Why is she doing harm to herself? That was when I truly knew something was wrong.

After the mission she went on with Nanami I decided to go and speak to Nanami myself to find out what he thinks, but to my suprise he approached me first.

"Megumi, I have been looking for you. Have you seen Y/N yet?"

"No? Why?"

Nanami sighed as if he was struggling to say something.

"She sustained an injury when we went on our mission, she got stabbed in the side. But her condition is stable and Shoko has treated her."

My eyes widened as a lump formed in my throat. How could she be so reckless? Before I could run off, Nanami stopped me.

"Megumi, please find out what us wrong with Y/N because I fear next time the injury she sustains might not be so treatable…"

I nodded, I agreed with Nanami. I ran as fast as I could to the infirmary. Whatever she was doing was putting her life in jeopardy….

Second Person POV

"Megumi is never going to like me…" you mumbled looking down as suddenly the same person runs in.

"Y/N! Are you okay?! What happened!" Megumi came in shouting. He look horrified as if you had died.

Even though it shouldn't have, your heart fluttered at the thought of Megumi worried about you.

He placed his hands on the sides of your arms making sure not to be to aggressive. You smiled softly at him as much as you could despite the sharp pain in your side.

"I'm okay, I just got caught in an attack but Ieiri said I'll be fine!" you giggled and placed a hand on Megumi's head, ruffling his hair as he sat down on the chair next to the bed sighing.

"Well, next time be more careful because if your not something bad will happen, okay?" Megumi placed his hand on yours making you blush slightly.

"I'll be fine, don't worry, I'll be stronger soon too!" you lifted up your arm and flexed as a joke as Megumi smiled slightly, still looking perturbed.

"Y/N, we need to ta-"

Before Megumi could finish his sentence Nobara and Yuji burst in dramatically.

"Y/N!!!!! What happened!!" Yuji said as Nobara was checking every inch of your face to make sure you were okay.

"I'm fine, just a bit tired…" you all talked about random stuff as Megumi stayed silent and distant.

Truth was, you were very very tired and you hadn't fully recovered but you needed to start working again if you wanted to catch up to Megumi and be the girl he wants, and just like that the evening arrived and you were sneaking out to go and train.

You practiced with your jaw clenched the whole time to reduce the pain you felt in your side everytime you moved, but it was worth it. All for Megumi, and to be able to protect him like he has done to you.

Time Skip

It was morning and you were walking at snails pace to find Gojo to ask if you could go on a mission with Megumi.

You made the best poker face you could to hide the pain lingering in every step.

"Gojo! Please can I go on a mission with Megumi." you said smiling as much as you could, griping your bruised and wounded knuckles together to beg him.

"I'm sorry Y/N, but you got injured and until you feel okay I can't send you out…" Gojo said as you immediately came up with a response.

"Gojo sensei, please believe me I feel much better it wasnt a bad injury I've had worse, I promise!" you we practically on the floor but eventually he sighed and said you could go on a mission to fight a 1st grade curse with Megumi.

Despite the pain, you smile a real genuine smile for the first time in a while at the thought of being alone with Megumi and spending time together.

Time Skip!

"Y/N, why are you here? You got injured. Stop over working yourself."

This isn't the way you thought spending time together would go.

Megumi had been telling you off the whole time you walked to your destination as you tried your best to explain that you were fine (which you were not)

"Megumi, I'm fine, I'm just tired."

"You always say that. Do you not sleep?"

Your worst fear was happening. Megumi was becoming suspicious and instead of being honest all you could do is get mad.

"I do…why do you keep asking questions?"

"Because whatever your doing needs to stop….MOVE!"

Before Megumi could finish his sentence the sharp arm of the curse you were meant to fight came between you two nearly stabbing you before Megumi pushed you out of the way.

You tried getting up but your previous injury hindered you from doing that.

"Stay back Y/N! You'll only distract me…" your heart shattered at his words as tears pricked your eyes and you scowled.

"I'm not a distraction, just watch!"

"Y/N! No watch out!"

Before you could even realise what was happening, a large tree branch pierced your stomach as you stared at Megumi with your eyes wide before looking at the branch stuck in you.

Oh how much you regretted everything. You wish you had listened to Megumi. You wish you listen to Nanami. You wish you weren't even born.

You stared into the sky as you looked down at the large tree branch that had gotten stuck in you.

Blood started pooling from your mouth as you recounted all the times you wished you had lived your life more.

You wish you could confess your love to Megumi and get married and have 3 beautiful kids…a smile graced your lips at the thought.

"Well, I think this may be it…"

Everytime you blinked, it felt as if 10 minutes when by.

You heard Megumi shout at you begging you to stay awake as he defeated the curse. You felt him cradle you in his shaking and bloody arms.

"Y/N, just wait someone is coming to get us. Hang in there." You smiled and reached for Megumi's cheek. Even though your vision was blurred you could feel the tear drop from his eyes.

"Please don't cry…" you smiled as you hand started to go limp and you couldn't stay awake any longer.

Time Skip!

You groaned in pain as you awoke to a bright light. You body ached at any slight movement and as your eyes adjusted to the light you realised what had happened and you sat up looking down at your stomach.

You sighed, thankful to still be alive.

Unbeknownst to you, Megumi was sat down next to you, asleep with his arms crossed, under his eyes had a tint of red, most likely from crying.

You put your hands through his hair combing your fingers through it, smiling at the sight of him asleep.

He stirred awake and you removed your hands from his hair. When he awoke he looked shocked to see you awake. He immediately hugged you.

"I thought I lost you…" you could tell he was being careful making sure not to hurt you as your rubbed his back before pulling away.

"I'm not gone quite yet!" you laughed as Megumi gripped his trousers, clenching his fists.

"Y/N, this isn't funny. You nearly died." Megumi looked down mumbling as your smile dropped yet again to see Megumi scolding you.

You placed a hand on his to comfort him, "Megs, look I'm fine and it wasnt even that ba-" Before you could finish he flung his hand away.

"Wasn't that bad?! Don't be stupid…you nearly died! You think I don't see you every night training until your whe body gives out? Or the amount of weight you lost or even the stumbling in your walk from lack of sleep?"

You gasped and squinted at him.

"Were you spying on me, Megumi? So what if I want to train? I'm only trying to better myself, why won't you support me?!"

"I'm not supporting you? Y/N I have always supported you through thick and thin but what could possibly be making you want to work so hard that you get yourself killed?! Tell me, please enlighten me!"

Megumi was stood up at this point and you could see people through the door window but you didn't care. You were hurt.

"You, Megs, it's you! I feel like a useless person who can't do anything right. Every mission we have ever been on you have had to save me and I want to be as strong as you. So forgive me for putting in some effort!" you shouted at him with tears streaming down your face and your voice cracking.

"I love you the way you are Y/N! I have never once looked at you as if you are useless. I think you are funny, smart, cute and the kindest soul alive! Why would I want you to change? You are working youself to death, that's the least I want! I love you!"

Everything was silent as Megumi dropped to his seat cheeks flushed from his angry confession as you stared at him teary eyed.

"You…you love me?" you asked genuinely shocked he could love someone as weak as you.

"Yes Y/N…I have ever since I met you. I never hated you just please stop hurting yourself like this-"

Before Megumi could finish his sentence, you pressed your lips on his. You pressed your palm onto his cheek as his thumb whined away your tears.

You pulled apart, out of breath as you both had a faint blush on your cheeks.

"I love you too Megs." you pressed your body into his chest as he wrapped his arms around you softly.

"Y/N…I will never ever hesitate to save you and I would do it over and over for you."

You smiled and inhaled his scent. A sense of relief washing over you. Something told you that from now on life would be much easier to live…

A lil bonus:

You had recovered and you were at a dessert shop with Megumi for a cute little date.

"Would you save me if I was like…a worm?" you giggled taking a bite of ice cream.

"Well I suppose, I would try to turn you into a human…so yes?"

"You don't sound to sure Megs…I'm feeling quite unconvinced…"

Megumi sighed putting his spoon down.

"I would save you and give your worm body a massive kiss. Happy?"

"Perfect answer!!" you laughed kissing him on the cheek as he just smiled lightly.

i hope you all enjoyed that especially my girly that I wrote it for, I hope you loved it 💜💜🩷🩷

[peterman-spideyparker]

my tears ricochet (Matt Murdock x fem!Reader) 4/5

Author’s Note: Hi! This part is more angst, I’m sorry. And I'm also sorry for the sad Foggy gif, but, it fits. Things will get better, though! Enjoy!

Summary: You finally wake up, but to devastating news.

Warnings: Angst, unresolved feelings, canon-typical violence, vague wound descriptions, recounting of the end of The Defenders, emotional damage, absent parents/friends

Other Characters: Foggy Nelson

Word Count: 1,006

You can’t get over how heavy your eyes feel. You just want to keep them closed and go back to sleep. Why are you so tired? You weren’t even this tired after pulling all-nighters in college or even at the company. This is an entirely different kind of tired. And how are you so warm and cold at the same time? It’s like . . . wait, that’s beeping. You know that beeping. And paired with the steady awareness of the pain in your stomach, everything is coming back to you—the rooftop, ninjas fighting Matt and Elektra, the sword, the devastation on Matt’s face, and the tears rolling down his cheeks. 

Matt . . . you have to talk to him. 

When you open your eyes, you squint at the bright light from the fluorescent bulbs around you. It takes a moment for your eyes to adjust, but, you find that you’re alone in a hospital room. There’s a small vase of flowers and a card, but not another soul around. Your parents must still be on the wellness retreat in Mallorca, and your friends . . . unless it’s a high-end gala with free booze, they haven’t stopped by. When you hear the door click open, your heart skips a beat as you recognize a familiar blond that you haven’t seen in a decade enter the room with a coffee in hand.

“Hey, Sleeping Beauty,” he smiles, his voice gentle. “It’s so good to see you, and it’s especially nice to see you awake.”

“Hi Foggy,” you greet, your voice scratchy and raspy from not using it, but not stopping the smile on your face. Foggy puts his coffee down and leans in for a warm hug before shuffling to pour you some water. He holds onto the little plastic cup with you, seemingly able to tell that you're not strong enough to keep a good grip on it after being out so long, letting you gulp at the liquid like a fish that needs its drink. “It’s been a long time.”

“Way too long.”

“You cut your hair.”

He gives you a slight smile as he puts down the cup. “You sound like my mom, albeit far less enthused.”

“It looks nice, but I feel the long hair suited you. But I’m glad you ditched that chin fur you had at Columbia, though.”

“Hey, that, the hair, and the beanie was a look,” he insists, making you chuckle. You quickly place your hand on your stomach, wincing at the wound that scars your body. “Sorry.”

“You’re okay.”

“How are you feeling?” His face is filled with worry, probably afraid that it was the wrong question—or a stupid one—to ask given the circumstances.

“Not great. Everything hurts, I’m still kind of tired, but, can you do me a favor?”

“Sure."

“I need to talk to Matt,” you breathe. “Something happened before I got hurt, and, well, I should really talk to him about it.”

“Oh.”

“Foggy, do you still stay in touch with him?”

“We, uh, we do.”

"Would you mind calling him for me, please?”

“(Y/N/N) . . .” He shifts in his seat and holds your hand. The expression on his face is one you’ve seen before.

Oh no.

“Foggy,” you start, begging with him as if you could change what he’s about to say.

“Maybe I should get a doctor, first, make sure—,” he says, starting to stand up, his hands on the arms of the chair.

“Foggy,” you repeat once more, your voice firm and terrified. It stops Foggy cold in his movement, nerves plastered all over his face. “Sit down.”

He lets out a breath and does as you ask, his eyes glassy as they meet yours.

“I really think I should get a doctor to check everything before we talk any more,” he whispers.

“I really don’t want you to. What I want—no, what I need is your honesty right now. For once in my life, I need someone to not lie to me. Where is Matt?”

“He . . . Matt died,” he says, his face scrunching in pain as he hangs his head. 

You feel your heart shatter as you lie in the hospital bed. “He what?”

“(Y/N)—.”

“He was fine on the roof, h-he was holding onto me—!”

“He didn’t die on the roof.” Foggy sighs, tears streaming down his face. “It’s a long story, and you’ve been unconscious for a while, but . . . A building went down with him in it. No bodies were recovered from the rubble.”

“H-H-How long?”

“It’s been a couple of months.”

“What?”

“(Y/N/N), I’m sorry.”

“No,” you breathe. “That’s not . . . This is all wrong. He can’t have died—I can’t have been out that long. Foggy, that couldn’t have happened.” You start to push your blankets off, trying to move out of the bed, but Foggy moves to keep you in. “It’s not possible, Foggy. Matt couldn’t have died. You're wrong, I'm sorry.”

“He hasn’t shown up since that night. No one has talked to him—.”

“He’s holed up in his apartment—!”

“—no one can find him.”

“You don’t understand, he can’t be dead. He has to have escaped—concussed somewhere, recuperating—Foggy, until there’s a body—.”

“It’s been two months since that night. (Y/N), he’s gone.”

“No! Matt wouldn’t do that! You’re wrong!”

“He’s gone, (Y/N)!” he shouts. “Matt’s dead.”

“No! Not Matt, not like that!” Uncontrollable tears fall from your eyes, screams of pure agony falling from your chest as your hearts breaks into smaller and smaller pieces, leaving your body with each tear that rolls down your cheeks. Foggy wraps his arms around you, holding you tight as you continue to weep. A rush if footsteps come in your room, and Foggy says something you can’t quite make out through your cries. But you know that even though the scars on your stomach will heal and the pain from the injury will eventually fade, the pain of knowing that Matt is gone forever will never leave you. “Not Matt . . .”

Summary❕Sleeping with them at night.

Characters❕Ace, Deuce, Jack, Sebek, Silver, Epel, Floyd.

Masterlist ❕

❕Ace❕

❝ The kind to have you in a GRIP literally won't let go.

❝ I'm sorry if you want to go to the washroom in the middle of the night, if you move even slightly he's going to make his grip on your waist tighter.

❝ Mumbles in his sleep and says random stuff like "idiot cat" or "i love you" but you can never know if he's awake and saying it to you or not.

❝ Will definitely make you late for your classes because he'll keep insisting that the both of you stay in bed for just 5 more minutes.

❝ A pillow hogging menace (affectionate) he had at least 6 pillows on bed before you started sleeping with him and you've only convinced him to get rid of One of them, barely any space for everything to fit on the bed.

❕Deuce❕

❝ Probably sleeps in bed all sprawled out, half of his leg is hanging off of the bed while one of his hands whack you in the face.

❝ Has to adjust to sleeping next to you, and trust me it's not easy

❝ Is the small spoon initially so that you can hold him to restrict his movements or him accidentally kicking you.

❝ Once he gets used to it, is the same as ace that he has a strong grip around your waist and doesn't let up easy.

❝ Only difference is he's going to wake you up early in the morning so that the both of you aren't late and will not fall for you asking him to stay in bed for even a little longer.

❕Jack❕

❝ SWEET BOY, he may have trouble sleeping some nights because he's too big for his bed or because he feels lonely, but then you come along!

❝ Not much of a cuddler honestly, but liked having your presence next to him.

❝ Always falls asleep after ensuring that you're asleep first and then he'll keep some space between the two of you but wraps his tail loosely around you.

❝ Wakes up at the crack ass of dawn to go on his daily run but arranges the pillows next to you in a way where you'll not feel the emptiness on the other side.

❕Sebek❕

❝ Not up for the idea of the both of you sharing the bed at first, why can't you share a room and have seperate beds instead? And all you say is, "It'll save money, better to have one bed than two!"

❝ Sleeps straight on his back because it's the easiest way to get up as fast as possible in case something happens.

❝ You usually lay your head on his chest listening to his heartbeat as it lulls you to sleep.

❝ Plays with your hair somedays when he can't sleep, it makes him relax but he'll deny it if you ever confront him, although the redness in his face would give him away.

❕Silver❕

❝ He's so sleepy he'd sleep anywhere you ask him to, probably falls asleep on your shoulder constantly.

❝ However when night falls, it's a different story. He can't sleep, probably paces to try and tire himself out, or reads a book.

❝ Will ask you if he's being disruptive but you'll shake your head, and ask him to lie down next to you as you try to sleep.

❝ He slips in next to you, and as soon as you fall asleep, his eyes go from being on the ceiling to being on you as he traces your beautiful features with his eyes as he smiles to himself.

❝ Won't fall soon but would let you curl up next to him as he traces shapes on your back.

❝ Hard to wake up in the mornings would probably cling on to the sheets but would listen to you begrudgingly.

❕Epel❕

❝ BLANKET HOG !! As soon as he's asleep he'll start twisting and turning so that he can be wrapped around the blanket the BOTH of you were supposed to share.

❝ You're going to have to get your own blankets sorry, he likes you a lot, loves you even so he'd not put on the "charm" he does for others and if you're taking too long to fall asleep he'd tell you to "shut the fuck up and get in bed."

❝ Would want to be the big spoon but would be a little shy to ask you so he just roughly pulls you against him and hopes you won't make a big deal out of it.

❝ Wants physical affection but won't ask for it, if you start playing with his hair as he's trying to sleep, he'll rest his head against your chest or in the crook of your neck.

❝ A little strange but likes when you smell like him, (might make you wear the same perfume/cologne he wears) will make you do a whole 10 step skincare routine before bed.

❕Floyd❕

❝ His dorm room can get a little cold for you sometimes, so Floyd makes it a priority to get as close to you as possible for body warmth as he puts it.

❝ Tells you about his day as the both of you lay in bed, is surprisingly gentle with you as he runs his fingers up and down your arm, his voice soothing and low as he whispers in your ear.

❝ He loves the closeness, he can be moody where some nights he won't want to be as close, and he may not want to talk, but he does appreciate you talking to him instead, and playing with his fingers.

❝ His mood improves around you, you're like his personal recharge button, his mood usually improves before he falls asleep, and as a thank you he smothers you in kisses till you're giggling and asking him to let you sleep.

[iguessweallcrazyithinktho]

concept idea: reader and jack are early in their relationship (1-2 months) and nobody likes her, i’m talking neelam, urb, 2fo, etc. or they just leave her out of conversations and events and jack obviously takes her but they whisk him away and she feels left out. it’s not that she did anything bad they just don’t even have a valid reason for not liking her. then he finds her crying one night and then confronts them about it and they start to actually bond with her and like not just for jack’s sake but because she is actually fun and nice they just never took the time to realize (that was long LMAO)

Silent treatment

PAIRING: jack Harlow x reader

GENRE: Angst

WARNING: reader being ignored, crying I guess

🌸☁️💗🧚✨💅🏾🌺🌷🌠🍓🍭🎠🌼☄️

You watched as Neelam, urban, metta, and the PG guys talked to each other on the other side of the room. You didn't want to see awkward, but you wish you were able to join there conversation.

Ever since you started dating jack two months ago you had yet to do anything with his friends. For some reason when you were around them they seemed to ignore you as if you didn't exist.

It was confusing. You did nothing wrong but they still seemed to ignore you. Jack was too busy doing his own thing that he didn't notice which sucked a lot.

"you ok baby?" Jack asked as he walked over to you. You put on a fake smile and nodded. "yeah, I'm fine. Just ready to go home." You said letting out a nervous laugh.

"ok, I'll tell everyone we're leaving."

"no jack it's fine." You blurted out. "I can wait."

Jack frowned at you as he mumbled an ok.

Even though he Heard you loud and clear he still told the group you both were leaving. As he walked back over to you, you could see them all giving you a disgusted look. It made your heart ache in your chest.

On the ride home you stayed silent. Jack noticed but took it as you being tired.

When you got home jack told you he was going to go home to his place while you went to the bedroom.

As you changed your frustrations was too much. You sat on the closet and cried into your hands. To your surprise jack had entered your place (with his key) to make sure you were ok, but due to the crying he was hearing he knew you weren't.

"y/n?"

He called out your name as he followed the noise. When he noticed you were in the closet he gently knocked on the door before he sat down with you.

"baby what's wrong? Talk to me." Jack rubbed your back hoping it'll help.

"I don't know why they hate me." You started through a few hiccups. "Who?" Jack asked genuinely confused.

"your friends. Every time I'm around them they never talk to and they look at me like I did something to them. I haven't done anything wrong." You said wiping a few tears that have fell down your cheek.

"oh baby, I'm sorry." Jack pulled you into a hug. You cried into his shoulder. It broke his heart seeing you like this because of his friends.

"I didn't notice they were treating you like this."

"it's fine, I don't care." You said, but jack knew that was a lie. It was eating away at you.

"ok. How about we go to sleep? I'll stay over; We'll start over tomorrow ok?"

You nodded and got up off his lap

After you had fell asleep jack knew what he had to do. He snuck out of your bed and began calling everyone telling them what was up.

The next morning you woke up to jack beside you wide awake. "Good morning."

You smiled as you buried your face in his chest. "Good morning to you too."

Jack ran his hand down your back as you both sat there in silence. After a good 5 minutes you sat up.

"I need to get ready for the day." You pushed off the blanket as you got up.

"ok well make sure you wear something pretty. I'm taking you out."

You laughed as you walked over to the door of your bathroom. "Where?"

"you'll see."

-

You got dressed and left with Jack you both arrived at wherever jack was telling you about earlier.

It was a nice outside area with lots of picnic tables and a food trucks.

It didn't take long before you to notice his friends sitting out there. You started to get uncomfortable just by the sight of them.

"jack, why they here?"

"hey calm down mamas." Jack cupped your cheek with his right hand. "I talked to them last night and gave them a piece of my mind. They don't even know why they don't like you so now I'm forcing them to make conversation with you."

You sighed. "Ok fine.. but if they make me upset or uncomfortable we're leaving ok?"

Jack nodded right after He kissed your nose. "Got it."

You both got out of the car and made your way over to them. Instantly they started talking to you.

They started to notice how fun you were to be around, they had no reason to hate you.

By the end of the night you talked to everyone and they seemed to have had a great time with you. Jack loved seeing you smiling and laughing with all his friends. It brought his own smile to his face.

"you had a good time today?" Jack asked as you both returned to your car. "Yeah, I did. Thank you for your help."

"anything for my girl."

This was longer than I wanted it to be

Words Unsaid 2; late night and rainy day

Jamil Viper. I wish I had the courage to speak to you. Even now my words falter and I stutter when you're the topic of discussion. I haven't very many friends but Ace and Deuce unfortunately do tease me about just how obvious I seem to be when it's about you. I can't help it. You take my breath away in the best way possible, make me feel happy.

I'll be the first to admit though that I wish you would never see my more pathetic side. The one that cowers, that freezes in fear, flinches at every little thing. I wish that if you did see me, not that you ever would, I'm not sure I'm quite special enough to be noticed by someone like you, you saw me through rose tinted glasses. As someone who was smart, sweet and whatever else I'm sure you and your darling silver tongue could come up with.

I've hidden away my first.. well I don't want to call it a letter to you, but that's what it is, I suppose. I've seen you around more often recently. I've unfortunately been busy. Recently I've been having a few nightmares and have been hoping to sleep in the afternoons rather than doing as many things as I previously had been. I'm writing this sitting in Savanaclaw.

Somehow I feel like you may know what I've done. I.. was talked into giving up the dorm should I fail to fulfill a contract. But I didn't want to agree to it. I don't like it. It's loud in Savanaclaw. I'm glad Leona is willing to share his room. I'm currently set up on his floor with an extra mattress and Grim, little weasel he is, got a nice cat bed. But even now you keep me awake.

I wonder what it would be like if I could lay next to you instead, run my hand along your back, hold you close and listen to your heart. Those are delusions but they are what has been getting me through. I'm tired and I'm anxious all the time, I just can't seem to relax. That's all I have for now. I wish my dreams were real.

Jamil, recently I saw you when it was raining. I was stuck under a small roof, trying to escape the downpour. I saw you running towards Sam's shop with your hood up. Has anyone told you you look like a snake from the side with your hood up? Your hair makes your Sideprofile look like it has a little fang. It's cute. I don't believe I'll ever say it to you. I did call out to you, saying Sam was in the cafeteria. He was organizing an ingredient bulk buy for the cafeteria ghosts. You thanked me and came over for a moment, ducking under the little roof as well. We were so close. And most importantly, I spoke to you. I saw your pretty eyes again.

My heart was beating out of my chest the entire time, I'm sure you saw how flushed I was. All I can do is hope I did not embarrass myself by saying something weird. I was so happy you were there, hiding from the rain with me. You asked me why I never look people in the eye when they speak. I told you it scared me. And then I told you your eyes were pretty. That you didn't scare me. And I meant it. I can't lie to you. Not when you hold my heart in your skilled hands. I'm glad I found this paper again.

[starlightshadowsworld]

Hajime tries his best to tip toe quietly to the living room. He'd left his phone downstairs and didn't want to wake everyone when the alarm went off.

He jumped when he saw someone sat at the table, the lights still off.

It was Makoto.

Who looked terrified for all of 5 seconds before realising it was Hajime.

"Sorry! I was just getting my phone." Apologised Hajime. Makoto blinked in surprise before smiling softly. "It's alright, I just wasn't expecting someone up at this time."

Hajime nodded, frowning slightly when he saw it was just past 3am.

"Don't you have that meeting tomorrow? I heard Byakuya complaining about how early it was." The Togami heir had been very annoyed about it, with Asahina voicing her thoughts too.

Makoto nodded "sure do."

He was never one for leaving his work late, but Hajime just assumed maybe it was just that much stuff to do.

That was until he caught a glance at the screen, and noticed it was security camera footage.

Hajime frowned, did Makoto think there was gonna be an intruder?

Makoto must've seen his worry because he gently patted his shoulder. "It's nothing I just like to look it over when it gets late."

Hajime felt himself relax a little, that was one less thing to worry about.

He turned to leave but paused, it felt wrong to leave Makoto downstairs all alone. Intruder or not.

So Hajime put his phone in his pocket and he pulled up a chair beside him. "Would it be okay, if I looked with you?" He probably should've asked that before to sitting down.

Makoto nodded, a thankful smile on his face. It made Hajime smile back though he wasn't sure why, Makoto just had that effect on people.

They both sat in comfortable silence looking through the footage.

Though somewhere along the line Hajime had fallen asleep. He knew this because he woke up to hushed voices.

"Hajime" greeted Kyoko with a nod. He nodded back, wincing at how his body ached. Sleeping in a chair, not the best idea he'd ever had.

He looked at Makoto who was fast asleep, now curled up in a blanket on the sofa.

"Asahina moved him. I didn't want to wake you but this makes things a lot easier." Said Kyoko.

"He was looking at the cameras, wasn't he?" She asked, a sad smile on her face. She knew the answer but asked it anyway, needing to know for certain.

"He was. I came down to get my phone, and he was looking at the footage. I didn't want to leave him alone." Answered Hajime, he wouldn't lie to the others anyway but he knew Kyoko of all people valued honestly.

She nodded, her suspicions confirmed. "Thank you" she said genuinely. "Did something happen?" He asked, nervous at what could have rattled Makoto.

"Something did, but it was before we met you guys." Said Kyoko with a sigh. "I won't say because that's his decision, and I won't take that from him. But he checks the footage when he's afraid.

Usually I or one of the others sit with him, or on the rare occasion are able to coax him to his room. It's been a while, we didn't catch it until Asahina was about to go for her morning jog with Nekomaru."

It wasn't a lot of information all things considered but coming from Kyoko it felt like a lot.

It was a show of trust.

And he wouldn't abuse that.

"Well, I'm happy to help." Hajime said simply, he didn't know how to put it into words that he cared for her and her friends too.

Kyoko eyes him and than smiles, and Hajime knows instantly that she knows.

"Thanks, now if you'll excuse me I have to go wake up Byakuya from his beauty sleep." She said in amusment Hajime snorted. He had seen how Byakuya acted when he had just woken up.

"As for the meeting, I've called him out of it. He'd just fall asleep in the middle of it." She gave Makoto one last look before getting up.

"Get some rest Hajime" she said/ordered and he nodded with a tired salute"yes ma'am."

Kyoko chuckled before leaving. Hajime counted down from 10 before hearing the loud annoyed sigh of an awake and disgruntled Byakuya.

Hajime decided to do one last thing before heading up, making a cup of coffee and leaving it with a blue post it note.

Byakuya eyed him tiredly, patting his shoulder in thanks once Hajime pointed to the coffee. All out of energy, Hajime headed up to bed.

He didn't know what had happened for Makoto to be so afraid that checking security footage helped him cope. But he wasn't going to pry, they all had there trauma.

All Hajime could do was be there for Makoto, for all his friends the best he could.

But for now, sleep.

@monthly-challenge 2024 | 5. Holding Hands

I used this prompt for my original characters, Nathan and Patience: the story is under the cut.

Word count: 1,024

Patience stirred and came to full consciousness slowly. She was stiff and tired out, and had been asleep.

“You all right?” Nathan pulled himself away from her, smiling sleepily.

“Just tired,” she said. “Didn't mean to fall asleep on you, sorry.”

“It's what I'm here for, don't worry,” he replied placidly. “Fall asleep on me anytime.”

“Thanks.” She smiled at him and put her hand on his. “You're pretty comfy, you know.”

“Um, thanks,” said Nathan, looking like he didn’t really know what to say in response.

Patience got up, stretching. “Gosh, I’m sleepy,” she told him.

“Didn’t sleep well last night?”

She shook her head. “Lay awake for way too long, unfortunately.”

Nathan scrambled to his feet. “Would a walk help?”

Patience shrugged. “That sounds like effort.”

“Fair enough.” He did not pester, only stretched and grinned lazily at her. “Want to stay in and have a date here playing games or something?”

“That sounds like an excellent idea,” she agreed.

“I'll get a game out - what did you want to play?”

Patience considered the matter. “Whatever you bring.”

He rolled his eyes at her. “Oh, you! Such decision. So much resolve.”

He was a time about selecting a game, and her eyelids drifted shut. Presently Nathan was shaking her awake. “Are you all right?” he asked, sounding concerned.

“I'm fine; I'm just really tired,” she assured him. “I'll be fine after a good night's sleep.”

“Good. You're not usually like this.”

“Thanks for reminding me,” she sniped, but smiled to remove the sting. “What are we playing?”

“Speed. I'm going to thrash you.”

“You’re cruel,” she joked. “How can you do this to me?” It was spoken in a deadpan voice.

“It’s because I love you,” he retorted. “That’s the only reason I play games with you. I love you, and more importantly I love thrashing you. I have to wait until you’re sleep deprived for that, though.”

“Don’t be so down on yourself,” she said, and poked him. It was a decision she regretted when he began tickling her in retaliation, and only let up when she shrieked, “Pax! pax!”

“Accept a compliment,” he ordered her lightheartedly. “You’re good at this game.”

“Eh, maybe: not right now, though.”

“Precisely.”

Her thoughts were sluggish, her movements clumsy. Nathan sneaked several easy victories from under her nose, and Patience yawned her way through about ten games before calling it quits. She had won three, in comparison to her usual nine.

“I’m so tired,” she said, sinking gently onto the floor and letting her eyes drift closed. “Might be coming down with something, honestly, this is ridiculous.”

“Yeah, I was wondering that,” he said, a shade of concern in his voice. “Come on, Patience, get up. You can lie on the couch.”

She did so, and the instant her head had rested comfortably on the arm of the couch she drifted into a still and dreamless sleep.

####

Patience woke to her name being called. She opened her eyes with difficulty, fatigue threatening to drag her back under.

“Are you all right?” Nathan’s concern was looming and much more pronounced than previously. “You were out like a light, this isn’t normal.”

“No, I’m just tired…” she mumbled. “In fact I want…. Oh. Yeah, I’m sick.”

“What do you mean?”

“I only ever want vegetable soup when I’m sick. I don’t know why. Migraine, maybe. I don’t know.”

“I can cook you soup if you want.”

She smiled. “That… that would honestly be lovely, if you didn’t mind.”

“Of course! Do you like it blended or still chunks?”

“Blended, if you don’t mind.”

Sleep claimed her again, and in a too-short length of time Nathan was back, guiding her upright and giving her a bowl of soup. The fatigue was clearing a little, and Patience stared blankly at it before remembering their conversation. “You actually made soup? For me? Because I wasn’t feeling well?”

“Of course I did. I’d do anything, Patience, you know that.”

She smiled and reached for his hand with her own, since it was free. Presently she picked up the spoon and began to sleepily eat. The soup was very good, and she complimented him on it several times. He looked embarrassed and muttered something about a recipe. “It’s all the love you put into it,” she said, eyes half lidded with sleepiness and light sensitivity. “That’s what makes it taste so good. And that I’m sick. A particular type of soup just tastes really good when I’m sick. Do you find that?”

“Sometimes,” agreed Nathan. “So it’s good soup, then?”

“What? Yes, of course.—You should have some, see how it is.”

“Maybe I will. You don’t need any help—you don’t need me to feed you, do you?”

Her movements had slowed and stopped. “No, I’ll get to it again in a second, don’t worry about me.”

“My dear, I am worried about you,” he said, under his breath. “But you’ll be okay, won’t you?”

She scraped the bowl, set it down and claimed his hand in her own. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I just get like this sometimes. It’s normal.”

“Sure it is,” Nathan said sarcastically, then turned their hands over so he could study the back of her hand. “At least you’re not weirdly flushed or incoherent or anything.”

“It’s just a migraine, probably, I just need to sleep it off,” she agreed. “Could have been caused by not sleeping last night, or maybe that was the reason I didn’t sleep so well last night. I never quite know. Thank you for the soup, Nathan. I didn’t quite intend you to literally make me soup! How much did you make?”

“Not too much, so it cooked quickly. Three or four serves at the outside. I can send it home with you, if you like.”

“Would you eat it if you had it?” she queried, rubbing her thumb absentmindedly along his hand. “You should keep it, if you would.”

“I don’t know. How’s about we split it, and I can send some of it home with you.”

Patience released a contented sigh and leaned against him. “That sounds wonderful.”

[gwenllian-in-the-abbey]

Hi! 3 and 7 for the ask, please :)

Sorry it took me a few days to get to this, these are great questions! 3. Which of your fics is most different from what you usually write? This was a hard one for me to answer! I suppose Our Fathers Clad in Red is the first fic I have ever co-written, so even though I do not think it is all that different stylistically or thematically from what I usually write, the process of writing it has been very different, but in a good way. I've learned a lot too-- not to hate outlining for one, and I've learned how having two writers with different but complementary styles can really enhance a piece. @aifsaath is a very talented writer and collaborating on it is so much fun that I would gladly do it again, when a year ago I never would have imagined collaborating on a project in the first place!

7. What's your favorite piece of description or narration? It's probably the second to last scene in Chapter 5 of Our Fathers Clad in Red. The entire scene consists of Aegon alone in bed having a particularly bad morning, and I'm fond of the whole scene, but I'll post the two parts like the best below the cut:

Tears pricked his eyes. Just a nightmare, but for a moment he’d felt as if he were there all over again, on that burning battlefield, the smell of roasting bodies— their own men dying along with Rhaenyra’s loyalists, by which dragon's fire no one could say. Criston Cole had pulled him from the saddle, and this Aegon recalled clearly, for there’d been no poppy milk yet to dull his mind, he’d cursed and had called out, his voice booming across the battlefield, “Your king lives! Protect the king!”

Then there had been pain and choking smoke and a voice murmuring the Mother’s prayer and more voices screaming please oh gods please and get it off him, get it off . There had been a brother’s hand latched to his unburnt hand. “Stay with me,” Aemond had said. Aegon had thought he was dying. He remembered having the wild thought that these were his last moments, and they’d be filled with nothing meaningful, only chaos and burning. There would be no final words, no heartfelt goodbyes, just pain and noise and charred flesh. 

It had taken months for the pain to subside enough for him to manage more than a few moments awake at a time. When he started to be allowed longer periods of awareness, he’d found himself an unrecognizable mass of misshapen flesh, and his skin felt like nothing more than his own funeral shroud. He hadn’t yet then found the will to live. That had come later.

The first few months after that, he’d still wanted to die. He’d stopped begging for it at some point, but every time he’d been woken from the poppy-sleep, he’d prayed that he might not wake again. There had been fevers that would come and go, mild infections. Poppy milk had brought sleep and took away the pain, but it left him groggy and nauseous when it wore off. Food never tasted good, and he wasn’t allowed wine. When he wasn’t sleeping, the pain was constant.

He’d cycled from one misery to the next.  Would that he could say he’d been determined from the start to fight for his children, that he’d thought only of his family, but that would be a lie. At first, there had seemed little reason to live if his life was to be nothing but dream-filled sleep punctuated by hours of agonized awareness.

He clutched the blanket, trying to curl himself into a tighter ball, but his legs would not cooperate. Even the more well healed right leg was stiff from the past week of exertion. He was beyond ashamed to admit that occasionally there were moments when he wondered if it had been worth it, if it was still worth it. He was so tired of it, so sick and tired of living like this. There was not a day when some part of him didn’t hurt. 

Now that he was in the capital once again, holding court, there was the fresh indignity of judgment. Bad enough that his healthy young body was no more, he’d lost his looks too, and his dignity as a man. It was almost too much to bear, the lords asking openly if he could still sire children, the women staring at his scarred face and tittering behind their hands. 

______________________________________________________________

In Aegon’s youth, he’d experienced bouts of melancholy, as his mother had called them. Usually, they happened after a visit with his father, and most often they involved copious amounts of wine. Once he had confined himself to his quarters for nearly a fortnight, sleeping the days away only to wake at night and drink until nearly dawn while scrawling maudlin poetry and composing funerary dirges on his lute. Sing this when I die, he’d write in the margins. Sing this one for father. 

Always, it had been his mother who would eventually force her way in, usually once she realized how long it had been since she’d seen her eldest son. Once, a minor marcher lord had come to court with a trio of beautiful daughters and one equally lovely son. When his mother realized she had not seen him flirting with any of the lord’s children even once, she’d immediately become suspicious and had barged into his room with a troop of maids, directing them to tidy up, and then she’d pulled him from bed, bathed him, clothed him, and fed him as if he were six and not sixteen.

He did not write poetry any longer, or songs. His old lute was in the school room, passed down to the children– Jae hated seeing anyone play it but him, but since Rook’s Rest, he’d not even wanted to try. The last poem he’d written had been an apology to his children and Helaena, for all his failures. He’d left it beside her bed, before he’d flown off to battle. The thought of it made his breath hitch and he pressed his face into his quilts, trying uselessly to staunch the flow of his tears.

You wake up on a couch in an unfamiliar living room in a jolt. Pain races through you, pulsating though every fresh suture.

And then the memories click into place.

Someone took you home last night. They patched you up, respected your insistence to not see a doctor, and let you sleep on their couch. And they didn't ask for anything in return.

You think there might be something wrong with them.

But you aren't going to look gift medical care in the wound.

You're pretty sure there was no blanket over you when you fell asleep, but there is one now. It's fuzzy, but in the soft way and not the weird scratchy way that blankets sometimes are.

"Oh, you're awake. That's good," Pat says from the doorway.

You jump. You can't help it.

"My bad," Pat apologizes immediately. Like its not your fault.

You shake your head and sit upright so you can have a proper conversation.

The stitches stretch and pull as you do, but nothing comes undone. You wonder where they learned to do that.

"Sooooo," Pat drawls. "What do you like to eat for breakfast. I've got cereal and instant oat meal."

They pause, searching for something in your face.

"Or, since it's afternoon, we could do lunch instead. I've got instant noodles and some sandwich fixings," they offer.

You shake your head. "Or we could stop by the store and pick up something you'll like better? I'll warn you I'm not too good at cooking, but I'm sure we can figure something out," they say.

You shake your head more violently. You aren't going to let them feed you on top of everything else. You don't want to owe them more than you already do.

"I'm not hungry," you say. It's not strictly a lie.

Pat gives you a flat look, but then they perk up like something just occurred to them.

"Is it the pain? I get nauseous sometimes when I'm hurt. Maybe something to help with that first. And some juice to wash it down with to keep you fueled," they ramble.

You shake your head again.

"Okay well if it doesn't hurt now it might later," they say putting a hand on their hip. "You're pretty damn banged up."

They disappear from the doorway and come back with a bottle of over the counter generic pain relievers and a cup of apple juice.

"Here. Drink up," they say, handing you the cup and getting out a pill for you.

You feel like you should perhaps maybe not trust a drink or pills from a random stranger.

But.

If Pat had wanted to hurt you they could have already done so at least 5 times over.

You're tired of being scared. You're tired of having to distrust people.

You take the pill and wash it down with the juice.

Pat nods. "Thank you."

You don't know why this warrants thanks, but you've already realized that Pat is kind of strange.

"Now. If you're feeling up to it. We should probably go find you some clothes. The ones you're wearing and kind of... not really functional anymore," they say, gesturing in your general direction. "I can lend you something to go out in, but I don't think it'll fit you too well. I'm a bit taller and broader than you."

You move the blanket away and look down at your clothes. They are bloody and ripped and looking at them kind of makes you feel actively sick so you cover yourself back up with the blanket again.

"Yeah. That's what I thought. I think I have some more masc clothes around you can pick from. You can come with me or stay there and I can bring out some choices," they offer.

"Stay here," you say. You don't want to get out from under the blanket.

Pat nods and leaves you alone in the living room.

#scorpion grass side story

[alivealonealoud]

I want to kill myself. I'm 6 days sober and I can't take it. I don't even want to drink, I hate alcohol, but I can't stand what is happening inside my brain. I'm tired of being late to everything and being dirty all of the time. It's so overwhelming and the only way I know how to calm down is to just drink or do drugs or binge and purge. I'm sick of being awake, I'm sick of being conscious, I'm sick of having awareness, I want everything to shut the fuck up and be quiet. I don't want to have thoughts or emotions. I don't want to be able to feel my body. It doesn't belong to me and I hate it. I hate what it does

I feel like I can't handle my sober brain. It's too much. I'm sick of being angry and confused or helpless. I'm sick of not knowing how to get some control or at least understanding what has been happening to me over the years. I'm so tired of feeling confused and out of control all of the time. I just want to feel normal for 5 minutes, or at least be able to pretend to be normal like everyone else does.

I hate being alive. I hate knowing what's happening. I want to be sinking in the void. I can't cope with knowing what's happening

It took me 40 minutes to get dressed this morning and I don't even know why. I wasn't on my phone or pc. I was just confused and trying to figure out what to wear. Everything was dirty. I don't want to go outside being disgusting and smelly. I hate myself so much. I want to die. It would be fitting to die with helium asphyxia because it's huffing.

I feel like I'm in sensory crisis all the time. I don't know how to cope with it. The weighted blanket my mum got me helps but I can't lie in bed all day forever, it defeats the point of being sober. I might as well just drink and go through the motions of moving around outdoors doing things pretending to know what's going on if the alternative is lying in bed.

I feel like the only way to stim I know is tying bands around my wrist and hand but it's not enough. The only other way I can think of is finding a shag and having a few rounds of it but I can't do that without having a drink first. I think I should probably abstain from sex for a while to get a grip on sobriety but I don't know how to calm down or make my body make sense without drinking one way or another. I can't handle being alive. I hate being dirty. I can't stand the state of my and my grandpa's hygiene. It's absolutely revolting. No wonder neither of us have any friends, we both reek all the time. We are filthy. He doesn't care. Now that I'm sober I can see it and its driving me insane. He's always been a dirty and very smelly person but I have become one too by being an alcoholic and living with him.

I don't want to live anymore. I can't live like this anymore. I don't know to live differently. I can't take it. If I take a quetiapine it will make me fat and suicidal. If I have caffeine it will make me angry and suicidal. If I lie here and sleep I will be doing nothing and still be suicidal. If I go outdoors I will stinky and suicidal. No one can help me. This is my reality. There is no running from this pain. I don't know how long I can bear it. It has been my entire life, and it will be forever. There's just no point. My brain doesn't work. If you don't belong, don't be long. I think Sarah was right about me having depression and ADHD . That would explain why a whole day can be taken up by like. Brushing my teeth, doing laundry, and cooking dinner. And getting dressed. When sober.

If I'm depressed, why do antidepressants make me I'll tho. They just make me want to do loads of drugs and drink and get fucked up and have marathon sex with strangers. I'm so sick of feeling this way being helpless I can't take it anymore I just want to be normal

Personal thoughts tonight

I suppose I don't really Want neverending happiness. I know that sometimes we feel sad, we feel angry, we feel scared, we feel things as a response to the world around us, and to what's inside of us.

It's hard getting a feel for what I need And having the ability to address that need. Its cold outside but I don't shiver, I get anxious instead. If I'm hungry my stomach doesn't growl, I get anxious instead. If I'm sleepy I can't just lie down in bed and sleep, I feel anxious in bed until my body is too tired to stay awake.

The changing of seasons feels a little more difficult for me to adapt to this year. Its not just the cold, the hunger, or the restlessness. I feel like I operate on time limits all the time, like there's always Something that needs doing on the back of my mind even when I try to relax and its been wearing me down for a very long time.

Sometimes I feel.. afraid of how well my friends have been doing. Of the things they're doing, what they're able to do for themselves. Its self-destructive to compare myself and my position in life to all of them and feel subpar for it. Legitimate reasons for needing to take my own pace start feeling like excuses, and the feeling of inadequacy sets in as I struggle to grow against the odds given to me. Beautiful blooms and bounties to share with each other, while I struggle to make a garden out a desert, long deprived of its water and resources.

With my mother in mexico, I haven't been disturbed as frequently which is supposed to feel nice, but the past few days I've been feeling more tired than usual. Hard to fall asleep, hard to get up out of bed when I do wake up. I think about my family and I just feel empty inside because I sometimes remember the good times we used to have, in between a lot of the bad and traumatic. There was a time where I felt like I could feel close to and trust my parents even amidst their fighting. And that didn't last. My dad Wants me to talk to him again but I am so, so tired of trying to argue with him about my life choices. About my gender, my sexuality, my dreams for the future. There was a point where it felt like it was me and my older sister working together and being there for each other when the rest of our family weren't. With my sister moved out, and my mom spending significantly more time with her relatives than expressing any interest in me, I just feel.. alone more often than not. The husk kept alive by online experiences, friends, and the hope for a future where I don't have to be so isolated anymore.

I struggle to save up money, and its becoming an increasing issue as each month goes by and I lose string after string of dependence on my parents for things like insurance, shelter, and food. I need my own insurance, which starts next year. I pay rent, but I ultimately want to save up my money before attempting to move out. And food, I don't know, I just, get tired of looking at so many things that I just have to pass on, leave behind because its just cheaper to get the same things week after week.

I used to feel afraid that every time I fell asleep, it'd be a different person waking up in my body. Nowadays, that feels like a blessing, a promise that maybe I really Can leave behind all of this trouble, and actually start living for myself without the cumulative financial destruction caused by each of my family. I would never have cosigned for my mother's car if she was going to stop paying for it and let it get repo'd, damaging my credit score. I would never have let my dad make me sign up for a school I didn't personally want, and get a loan in my name to pay for it that I'm now struggling to pay 5 years later. I would have never helped my older sister with her payments by overdrawing my bank account almost every two weeks and leaving very little, if any, for myself.

Everything I did, I did to appease them, help them, make them happy. And all I got were blames, shifts of responsibility, that I'm on my own, now. They won't help me. They can't.

I'm Alicia, I'm 26 years old, and I believe there's a better life out there for me somewhere.

Fives – Soldier Boy 13 – An Unexpected Friend

Fives x fem!Reader FF

Warnings: Angst / Tension / Hurt / Fluff

-----------

The journey and the destination that lies ahead of you and Fives is still uncertain at first and Fives is still trying to understand what exactly happened and why to him of all people.

Upon your arrival, you discover that you have unexpected allies. The question remains whether the lurking danger will remain dormant long enough to be stopped.

----------

Part 11 - Live To Fight Another Day

Part 12 - What Lies Ahead

Part 13 - An Unexpected Friend

There was no big make out session. Fives did pull you close as you lay down, and his lips moved over your neck, but it only takes a few heartbeats for his movements to slow down and he finally fell asleep half lying on top of you. Over forty-eight hours without proper sleep, took its toll.

You gently pushed him off you, covered him up and kissed him on the forehead. You felt so incredibly sorry for what he had just been through that no one would believe him, even Rex, at least for the moment. But what he had discovered was too profound and of such magnitude that it was just hard to believe, at least for some. Even you had been puzzled, but you had never doubted Fives himself.

For a while you watched him sleep peacefully, soundly, aware of the deep connection, the warmth and affection you felt for him, with each steady rise and fall of his chest. You realized you would always be by his side, as long as he wanted you.

"I love you," you whispered softly, placing another feather-light kiss on his forehead, right next to his tattoo, before making your way to the cockpit. You were still wide awake and far too restless to lie down yet.

The glow of hyperspace filled the cockpit, you sat down in the pilot's seat, carefully resting your legs on the console and gazing out into the passing lights and colors. A small wonder, hyperspace and hyperspace travel, something so hard to imagine if you weren't used to it or didn't understand the technology behind it.

You allowed yourself for a little while to let go of any negative thoughts, to take a breath and hope that everything would get better. Leaning back in the pilot's seat, you let hyperspace pass you by.

A few hours later.

A touch on your shoulder woke you up. You startled and almost fell out of the pilot's seat, but Fives held you tight.

"Easy, easy, mesh'la, it's jut me," he said, amused.

"Oh," you said softly, blinking and rubbing the sleep out of your eyes "I wasn't actually planning on falling asleep here."

Fives smiled.

"I think we'll be there soon"

You straightened up, and looked at the nav computer. Two more hours and your shuttle would be out of hyperspace.

With a nod, you said, "Yes, soon."

He sat down in the co-pilot's seat and said, "I'm sorry I fell asleep right away, I guess I was a lot more tired than I thought."

You waved it off and said, "You really needed the sleep after all you've been through."

There is silence for a while, you didn't quite know what to say. The situation was nowhere near as relaxed as you would have liked, in the back of your minds of course was still all that had happened and you were sure Fives was bothered by it all much more than you, after all he was personally affected.

"What are we going to do when we get to Batuu?" he wanted to know.

"There were some instructions in my uncle's envelope, among other things he told me that there are credits hidden in the shuttle, enough to keep us afloat for quite a while. We also have a contact in Batuu, a Wookie who has been staying there temporarily, I don't know where from or why, but my uncle knows him. I think he got us a place to stay for now, with a landing pad for the shuttle."

Fives looked at you in surprise.

"Wow, your uncle must have thought of everything. I owe him quite a bit as soon as we can get back."

You laughed softly.

"No you don't. My uncle certainly doesn't expect you to return the favor."

Fives looked serious, "Senator Payne is doing all this out of conviction. He really believes that we clones are human and should have more rights, doesn't he?"

You nodded.

"Yes, indeed."

"Too bad he's pretty much alone in that," Fives said dryly.

You shrugged your shoulders, "Not alone, but he doesn't have a lot of supporters for this goal, that's true. But things can change and that's what he's fighting for".

Fives nodded and for a little while you both lapsed back into silence. You looked at him and finally asked, "How are you feeling?"

He looked thoughtful as he said, "Honestly mostly disappointed and confused. I've put my life on the line for the Republic, risked my life, practically every day, for a Republic that is now turning its back on me and trying to sort me out. In the process, I've discovered something that may be extremely important, that could jeopardize the continued existence of that Republic, cost lives."

He sighed and rubbed his hand wearily over his face.

"I don't know, I guess I didn't expect to be treated like this. I mean I'm a soldier, I'm used to rough manners, but this, this defies description"

You looked at him sadly.

"I'm so sorry Fives, I hope you know that I trust you and believe you, my uncle does too."

He smiled.

"I know my beautiful, that's the only thing keeping me going right now Cyare".

You landed on Batuu, at the coordinates your uncle had given you. The planet was beautiful, covered with forests and mountains, lots of nature, and the air you breathed as you walked down the ramp was fresher than anything you had ever breathed before. A strangely invigorating experience.

The Wookie you were to meet was already standing at the bottom of the ramp waiting for you. You had never seen a Wookie up close before, he was huge, you both had to put your heads back to look up at him. His fur was long and light brown with darker patches on his shoulders and legs.

Next to the Wookie stood a protocol droid, it was a colorful mix of different parts and the typical silver was interspersed with copper colored parts as well as gray and black parts.

The Wookie made a yelping noise that made you wince in fright at first, but as far as you could tell, his expression was relaxed and peaceful.

"My master, Chewbacca welcomes you. He would like to know if your journey was pleasant and safe?"

You blinked.

When Fives spoke up, the Wookie looked at him intently.

"We are fine, we are very grateful to have been allowed to come here".

The Wookie made several sounds and you realized, you would probably never be able to learn that language.

"Master Chewbacca says not to worry, you are safe here for now. He doesn't condemn you, a few of his closest battle comrades are actually clones, he has respect for your kind because your kind helps keep the Separatists at bay on his home planet and have shown him respect as well," the droid translated.

Fives nodded with a small smile.

"I appreciate that very much, Chewbacca. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the respect of my own brothers"

Wookiet tones rang through the air again.

"My master says he thinks it's a misunderstanding, because someone he trusts more than anyone else thinks so too"

You looked questioningly from the droid to Chewbacca.

"Are you talking about Senator Payne, my uncle?"

"Grrraaahl"

"No"

Fives and you looked at each other, then finally asked, "But then who are you talking about?"

After a long series of different wookie tones the protocol dorid translated, "Master Yoda. He is on Kashyyyk at the moment, the Separatists are planning a major offensive, so Yoda is on the ground with a legion of clone troopers, that is where my master must return to as soon as possible. Master Yoda, has contacted your uncle and asked Chewbacca to help. The Jedi Master believes the clone trooper ARC 5555, call sign Fives, is telling the truth. Master Yoda, senses the truth in the Force, Master Chewbacca believes in his wisdom. But for now, Master Yoda, can do little more than remain vigilant, support Senator Payne's efforts, and wait while you remain safe here."

Your head was spinning, and Fives seemed to feel the same way. He slowly sat down on the ramp, as if his legs could no longer hold him upright.

"Master Yoda believes me?"

The Wookie nodded.

Fives was visibly moved and agitated, but he still pulled himself together well, much better than you would have done in his place.

"What legion did Yoda take with him to Kashyyyk?"

The protocol droid translated, "The 41st Elite under Commander Gree."

Fives nodded, "Gree is one of the best."

"My master agrees with that. He must leave now, he is leaving me here to serve you and show you around"

"That is very generous, thank you" you said sincerely.

The Wookie nodded to both of you, bowed slightly to you, and patted Fives hard on the shoulder.

He toned something and disappeared toward another shuttle.

You watched as he boarded and took off, then Fives turned to the protocol droid, "What was the last thing he said?"

"He said the people who really mattered would always believe you as long as you told the truth."

[storiesofsvu]

incoming personal rant about family bullshit, minor work bullshit and holiday bullshit. you're more than welcome to read/reply, you're also more than welcome to scroll on by, feel free to ignore my venting, i just need to get it out

so, as y'all know already, xmas is an extremely stressful and busy time, esp at work and in the industry. we have extra shifts, longer shifts, more complicated functions, everyone's tired, everyone's cold, everyone's sick of the entitled guests. we had group in on tuesday that had a $4500.00 bill and they didn't want to tip the service staff....

2 weeks ago i finally picked up when my mother called because i was finally #1: awake when she called, and #2: not at work and #3: had the mental energy to DEAL with the conversation. she said that my aunt was going out to sask to see my one cousin and we were invited, i declined (and already had) because it's like a fucking 18hr drive, and i didn't want to fly (and that wouldn't have helped, like, look at the airports). she asked if i thought i would come up there (for reference, it's important to know that i do not drive). i said no, i had a bunch of extra shifts, i only had three days off and wanted to spend them doing nothing, relaxing etc. she asks if i want her to come down here, i say no, that i only have three days off and already have plans with the girls from work who also aren't going home to have drinks, order pizza and watch shitty hallmark movies (not a lie).

I FIND OUT TODAY THAT SHE'S FUCKING COMING DOWN TO "SURPRISE" ME FUCKING TOMORROW. ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??!!!

She didn't ask, she didn't tell, she's assuming she can stay with me, and i don't know how long she's planning on staying for. Thanks to numbers at work and cuts I managed to get a full 8 days off and I planned on doing NOTHING but catching up on writing and reading, drinking, watching my tv shows and relaxing, ALONE in my empty house cause the roomate would be gone home to family for xmas.

Not only that but i was supposed to be working tonight, i just got cut because i was the third bartender in and theres only 70 ppl. So i would have been out until like, 3, 4 am, up untl probably 5/6 or later, and sleeping until 5pm. THERE IS NO FUCKING BUFFER IN THERE BETWEEN WORK AND BEING FOCED TO HOST SOMEONE WHO I DO NOT WANT IN MY FUCKING HOUSE ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW.

not to mention i do NOT have anywhere for her to sleep. i'm not giving up my room, i'm not giving her parker's room (technically i own the bed, but like, it's parker's space, you don't get to sleep there or even look in there). there was a futon in the house last year because sam owned it. like, if she thinks she's sleeping on the couch? girl. i couldn't do more than 2 nights on your couch at 30, i doubt you'll enjoy this shitty couch for sleeping at 73... ALSO, last year she went creepign down the hall all "i'm just gonna snoop into your bedrooms" like.. FUCK YOU, NO! Like, MAYBE you deserve to be able to look into my room cause i'm your daughter, but guess what, you have NO right to look at my roomates space?? esp cause both rooms were dirty and the mess from the rest of the house was shoved in there, like, fuck you, you're so fucking invasive.

I have been battling burnout, being sick, and other work bullshit for over a month now. Thanks to having tonight off I at least have time to try and process her coming, and now i get to spend my one buffer day riddled with anxiety, panic cleaning the house and all that shit rather than ENJOYING my fucking holiday?!!?? like FFS. i no longer get to enjoy even my first day off?

she has no clue what my schedule is, she has no idea what my plans are, like i could be out of town with the besties, i could already be planning to spend xmas with someone else's family, or friends, parker and i could be hosting a giant "orphans christmas", yet you think you have the right to just fucking show up on my doorstep and barge into my fucking life when i told you not to just because you're my parent!???

spoiler alert: you don't have that right.

there's a reason i moved away. there is a reason i no longer go home for holidays, there is a reason i rarely talk to anyone from my family. and shit like this? is *just* going to make it fucking worse.

tl;dr: i'm fucking livid and wanted to spend the next week getting as much writing done but apparently imma have to play host even though i didn't ask for it.

and please don't you fucking dare come into my inbox or the replies all "awwe but you should be happy that she cares, you should be happy that she wants to spendtime with you, you should be..." no... you don't know shit about our relationship and if you'd like to hear why i dislike my family so much i will gladly give you some examples.

What's your advice on not being so sleepy and low energy constantly?

I guess I'll give it a shot.

1. I take my temperature and feel every hour to make sure the number isn't low. I've had it over 36.5 degrees Celsius (96.6 F) for months, and when I was younger it would regularly go over 39 for a while. It's possible that this was always a symptom, but I just didn't notice. (I am going to start noticing it again now.)

2. If I get low, I take vitamin D (at least 1000 IU). It's not totally clear how it works but it probably works somehow.

3. Sometimes I will take melatonin 2-3 hours before I get tired. It works well at 2 or 3 hours, but not well at 1. (For a long time it took a while for me to realize that, I thought that melatonin actually worked really late, or something like that, and was just taking it every night because I liked the effects. It only took me until I was 28 to realize it was taking effect 2-3 hours earlier, as I was getting sleepy before then.)

4. When I'm exhausted and going to bed, sometimes I do a "pacing walk" of a particular length, and then I have to lie in bed for a time of length equal to that (not that this helps that much). You have to pay attention to these things really carefully, because once you've done it enough you'll get into a pattern where you do it more and more even if you don't want to. If that happens, it takes a lot of effort to break it, but it's very helpful to break it.

5. If I get exhausted in a way that makes me really sad or depressed and I don't want to sleep because there might be something I'll be missing if I stay awake, I try to look at a book. Usually the depression and sadness go away, at least briefly. I have had this happen to me even if I was very very tired, so I would not put it under any kind of stress that might make it worse. Also, I think the process of reading itself is kind of relaxing. If that helps, I usually find I can fall asleep easily.
