☁︎ oscar piastri x female reader

☁︎ oscar is experiencing thanksgiving with your family for the first time….and boy is it crazy

☁︎ no warnings just fluff and maybe a tad overwhelmed oscar lol

☁︎ i can’t believe october is starting to come to an end, these little fall fics have been making me so happy, i think ill do another one in december too to get ready for christmas 🤭 p.s thanksgiving in canada is beginning of october in contrast to the USA which is end of november in case you’re confused :)

Thanksgiving was a little chaotic in your family, when everyone gathered together and all sat down for the annual fall meal, only this year it was your boyfriend Oscar’s first time attending it with you. He knew you got your vibrant and extroverted personality from your parents, but now that he looks back on it, he’s pretty sure your entire family played a part in it.

“Oscar when do you and my little sunshine plan on having children hmm?” your grandma asked, causing you to choke on your water

“Nana!”

Oscar laughed patting your back gently to help with your coughing

“I think whenever the time is right, we’re in no rush”

“Well you’re only getting older!”

You shook your head at the old woman’s antics your mother stepping in before you

“Mom, leave these two alone, they’re both still in their early twenties, no babies for them, eat your turkey”

“Never too early to have a baby, such nonsense!”

Leaning over to Oscar you looked at him apologetically

“I’m sorry, she’s very persistent”

He only smiled, kissing your forehead as he squeezed your knee under the table

“I don’t mind at all, it’ll happen someday anyway”

The two of you may have been young but you both knew that you were endgame for each other, there was no one else on earth more perfect for either of you, and everyone was starting to see that.

“So Oscar, i’ve been watching your season, looks pretty good this year”

It was your father’s time to chime in, Oscar nodding as he gave your father 100% of his attention.

“Yes, it’s been going really well, the car feels good this year, so i’m looking forward to finishing the next few races and then having some time off” he replied, a bit hesitantly as he always did with your dad

“That’s good to hear, I’d love to come see a race sometime”

You smiled

“You should come to Las Vegas with us dad! You and mom have been wanting to go back there so why not?”

In hindsight you should have asked Oscar first if he was okay with this, but knowing him, he wouldn’t mind at all. He loved spending time with your family as much as you did with his.

“Oh that’s a great idea honey, i’m sure we can figure something out!”

The rest of dinner went off without a hitch, calm conversation and laughter shared between everyone, you could already feel the classic thanksgiving hangover hitting you as you lounged on the couch tucked into Oscar’s side, your eyes heavy and tired.

“NO YOU JUST SLAPPED ME WITH ANOTHER PICK UP UP 4 IM GONNA KILL YOU!!!”

Oscar laughed hearing your little cousins playing uno in the other room as you rolled your eyes. If anyone was the loudest on these holidays it was the kiddos.

“YEAH WELL YOU JUST SUCK AT THE GAME THEN!”

It wasn’t long before your aunt went in there and told them off, quiet chatter resuming after the mini scream fest over the classical card game had ensued. Truth be told you were nervous for Oscar to experience thanksgiving with your family because you weren’t always put together and fancy, you were loud and energetic, your family loved playing games, having treasure hunts and playing games of charades.

You knew deep down it wouldn’t everyone’s cup of tea but Oscar wouldn’t have it any other way. He’d never felt more comfortable and at home like he did with you when you visited your family. It made him feel normal and accepted, he didn’t have to worry about the media, the race track or the constant murmurs going around the paddock.

“How was your first thanksgiving experience love?”

He smiled down at you, his finger tips running up and down your back

“I loved it, really it was so much, I can’t wait to keep experiencing this craziness with you”

“Oscar loves the thanksgiving craziness…never thought i’d say that”

The Aussie laughed leaning down to kiss you

“Well now I get to experience a different craziness from yours everyday”

“Hey!”

You frowned jokingly but he was quick to once again bring his lips to yours, deepening the kiss enough to have your face flush, thankfully your family too enamoured in their own activities to notice your little display of affection.

“I love you and all your craziness darling, it’s what makes you, you.” he stated softly, taking his time to admire you

“I love you more.”

Oscar had all he needed right in front of him, he’d never felt more welcomed and appreciated than he did right now, curled up on the couch at your parents house after a delicious dinner, something he would continue to be apart of for years…and years to come.

if your still taking requests, can you do a Bullfrog and Rayman/ramon of their S/O is Pregnant? if you can't that's okay

Thank you for the request !

I apologize for taking longer than usual , I found myself in need of a break since I was feeling a bit too uninspired to write :,T

Anyway I’ve never really written anything for a pregnant reader before , so this was a pretty fun challenge :,) 

Hope it turned out okay ! 

Details : use of female reader ( thought I’d go for that given the prompt , hopefully that’s alright ! ) ;

established relationships ; 

no warnings needed 

Bullfrog 💚

Deep down , Bullfrog still can’t believe he is actually going to become a dad …

While he is definitely worried about how he is going to keep you and your future child ( or children :> ) safe , this frog is still really looking forward to start a family with you , and he will remind you of this a lot .

< y/n , my dear , I’m just so grateful to have you by my side , you know ?

I’m so happy about our child , je ne peux pas attendre … >

He is the absolute best at taking care of you , using all the spare time he gets when he isn’t out for missions to be there anytime you need something , no matter how small .

< I’m back mon amour ! 

Here , I brought you some more food in case you get hungry , and I also made some tea while I was at it . > 

< Thank you honey ! This is exactly what I needed , you’re amazing ~ > 

When you’re feeling a bit fatigued , Bullfrog loves to just rest by your side , with the two of you often falling asleep into each other’s arms .

And if you ever try to stay up anyway , well … your partner is very good at persuading you to do otherwise .

< Hmm … I’m not that tired , sweetie … we can still … talk , or maybe do … something else … > 

< Non y/n , you need to get some sleep … you had a long day today , and I don’t want you to stress yourself too much . 

I’m going to be right here with you mon cher , so don’t worry , alright ? > 

< Heh , alright , thanks Bullfrog … 

Oof , give me a second , the little one is starting to feel heavy … > 

Your beloved assassin adores those simple moments of intimate bliss he gets with you , and whenever he occasionally opens his eyes to check on you he can’t help but feel an overwhelming happiness , knowing that you’re the person that he’s going to share a family with …

Despite the uncertainty of your futures , Bullfrog knows that as long as you’re with him , there will always be hope for him somehow .

Rayman 🧡

Oh boy is he excited ! 

Rayman loves children , so the mere thought that he’s going to have a kid with you fills him with joy …

He never thought that he’d be able to have something like this in his life , given the way people see him despite his popularity , so you better believe that he will be showering you with affection … even more than usual . 

< Oh y/n , sometimes I still can’t believe this is happening , y’know ?

I just … god , I love you so much ~ > 

Unfortunately , I honestly doubt the Directors would show much care about the fact that their star’s partner is going through a pregnancy …

They need Rayman to be on the show , that’s what matters most to them , so as much as he hates the idea of leaving you alone he doesn’t have much of a choice …

< Damn it …

I’m so sorry … if I could stay with you I would , but the Directors … > 

< Hey it’s alright hun , I’m just gonna lay here and rest until you come back , I should be just fine . > 

< Mm … well , maybe I can convince them to let me go home earlier than usual : I don’t want anything to happen to you because I couldn’t be here , y/n … I … I would never forgive myself … > 

< Ray , love … you worry too much . 

Now come here , I didn’t forget about your goodbye kiss ~ > 

< Heh , thank you y/n … mm … ~ 

I’ll be here as soon as I can , I promise . > 

During the immensely frustrating hours where he can’t be with you , Rayman is still going to remain in contact with you by calling you and sending you texts … a lot .

“Hey sweetie ! 

This should be the last interview for today , I can’t wait to see you ! ❤️

How do you feel ? I remember yesterday night you couldn’t sleep much , did you manage to get some rest ? Oh , you should also remember to drink some water if you haven’t already , it really is important , especially now !”

“Hi Ray ! ❤️

I’m okay , don’t worry , I got some sleep and that really helped a lot !

I think our child is happy you’re coming home … I can feel it kicking since I begun writing you this message ! 

We’ll both be waiting for you ❤️❤️”

After Rayman gets home , I hope you’re prepared to be showered with love and affection for the rest of the day :

he just can’t express how much he missed you , from your voice to your beautiful face … you just make him so happy , and knowing that you’re about to start a family together is just everything he could possibly need .

Ramon 🖤

1 Now that he doesn’t have to care about his job or the orders of the Directors , you better believe that Ramon is never , ever going to leave your side , especially now that you’re pregnant .

He is terrified at the idea of losing his one chance of finding happiness in his otherwise bleak existence … he won’t allow that to happen .

< y/n , where are you going ? > 

< Ah , I’ll be right back Ram , I just wanted to go for a quick walk just outside , my legs are a bit sore and - > 

< I’m coming with you . > 

< You don’t have to do that , love … I know the wounds you got yesterday while fighting those Eden guys still hurt , you should rest . > 

< I don’t … care about that . I need to be there for you . I need to keep you and our child safe .

Please y/n … you’re all I have . > 

< Okay , okay … we’ll go together , hun . I won’t leave you . > 

< Thank you … > 

He finds it especially comforting to gently rest his head on your stomach , listening to the baby’s occasional small movements beneath … 

It’s in little tender moments like these that Ramon can finally put his mind at ease , momentarily forgetting about Eden and the mess you’re in .

< Does this hurt , darling ? > 

< Hmm ? 

Oh no , it doesn’t ! Don’t worry about it …

It actually feels very nice ~ 

Ramon’s mind often gets crowded with unwelcome thoughts about what kind of life will he be able to provide to your kid , given the critical situation you’re currently both in , and as much as he tries to keep those feelings to himself you’re able to understand what’s on his mind . 

< I know you’re worried about our future , I am too … but I just know things will be alright for all three of us . > 

< How do you know that … ? > 

< Oh , that’s easy Ram : 

I have you here with me , and that’s all I need to keep on going !

It’s not going to be easy , but I know we can face what comes next if we stick together , and we’ll be able to make our child grow happily in a good place . > 

< Heh … you always know how to make me feel better , y/n .

I love you so much , you know that … ? > 

< I love you too Ramon … trust me , we are going to be okay . >

One Piece Men As Fathers

Part two here

Monkey D. Luffy

Luffy as a father….whooo boy

Is most likely more of a boy dad than a girl dad, but if he does have daughters, he wouldn’t mind at all.

He will fight your children for food. You can’t tell me he wouldn’t. They may be his kids, but it’s also his food.

He will also forget that he even has kids sometimes. It would go something like this: “Luffy, have you seen the baby?” “Eh? What baby?” “Our baby, Luffy! Your son/daughter!” “Oooooooh, that baby! Yeah I left them with Zoro.” “And where’s Zoro?” “Knowing him, he could be anywhere!”

You don’t leave him alone with the baby after that.

Ability to cheer baby up is a solid 8.5/10. With his Devil Fruit, he can stretch his face into the most absurd expressions and the baby will be laughing and happy in no time flat.

Roronoa Zoro

Just from the way he is with Chopper, you can already tell he’d be a good dad.

He’s definitely very overprotective, no matter what gender your child is, he makes it his life mission to protect them.

Will take regular naps with the baby, and doesn’t mind being woken up by them if they get upset.

Gives them a baby sized sword when they’re old enough to hold it, much to the protests of the more logically minded Straw Hats (i.e. Nami, Jimbe, Robin, Sanji)

However, despite his strong qualities, he is not the worlds most perfect father.

For instance, your kid gets hurt? “Take a swig of this, you’ll forget all about it.” He says, holding out a bottle of sake.

You slap him for that.

Zoro’s ability to cheer baby up varies, I’d say. I’d go with maybe a 6/10

Vinsmoke Sanji

He is a girl dad. But will not be opposed to boys.

He strives to be both the perfect husband, and father, so you better believe that his kids are getting all the love from their dad.

One of your kids is a picky eater? He will figure out just what they like and make it exactly how they want it. He’ll even let them come into the kitchen with him and show him exactly how they want it.

Will not hesitate to spoil your children rotten. You practically have to reign him in every time he sees something he thinks they would like. And then you have to listen to the “But Y/n-chan! Think of how happy they would be!”

Just say no. He will charm you into bankruptcy if you don’t.

Will plan elaborate tea parties with his child, and will also get you to participate.

Will definitely teach the baby to hate Zoro from an early age, so you know exactly who to blame when your child points at said male and babbles “Marimo!”

Sanji has a proud Papa moment, before you whack him on the head.

Ability to cheer baby up is a 7.5/10. With the way he cooks, no one can stay upset for too long.

God Ussop

You’d better believe that your kids are getting the best story times ever with Usopp as their dad. He will spin the best stories, do all the voices, and even include his kids in the story.

At lease one of his kids gets his nose. The genetics are too strong.

He’s the best at doing his kids hair. No matter how long it may take, he will sit there and figure it out.

He has taught his children his “fight or flight” way of life, and they secretly judge him for it.

Like Zoro, gives them a baby sized slingshot, and everyone blames him once your child starts shooting at people.

His ability to cheer baby up is 4/10. In a stressful situation, Usopp has been known to blow things out of proportion, so that combined with an upset baby doesn’t really do anything good.

Simon “Ghost“ Riley SFW+NSFW Headcanons…

…and quotes I found that I believe fit him. With a lil chunk of comforting fluff at the end cause the quotes are sad.

(Just a reminder that these are my personal headcanons for him. Be respectful please.)

Quotes:

SFW

- I don’t think Simon as a person is as ruthless and cold as people make him out to be. He cares a lot about the people around him and locks in when necessary. He may be wary of people when he first meets them, but with the right amount of time and good conversation, he’d definitely be a good companion.

- He keeps work separate from his personal life. The way I see it, him wearing a mask on the field is to preserve his identity and to strike fear into enemies with the skull, like it had been done for him. He doesn’t wear a mask when he’s on leave because he’s Simon then, and people are gonna see him as some random big burly dude, not a soldier when he’s just walking the street.

- I’d say he would like some semblance of a normal life outside of work. By normal, I mean being able to have relationships, maybe get married, and after a lot of convincing, maybe have a kid. If he truly was going to stay alone for the rest of his life, there wouldn’t be as much of a need for him to be so secretive about his face (especially with his background). He has nothing to lose outside of the military. Sad to say, but his entire family is dead, and as far as we know lore-wise, all of his friends are dead except for 141.

- He’s confident and cocky. He’s not shy about his looks. He knows he has attractive features, and he definitely knows his capabilities. Simon is also bigger than most men and has a body sculpted by years of military training. He’s not shy about it. I can see him getting touchy about some of his scars just because they remind him of a dark point in his life, but he also reminds himself that he’s survived through them and takes them with a bittersweet feeling.

- Simon has a lot of mental issues and seems like the type of person to want to deal with them alone. If you were his significant other (you’d obviously have to be extremely close with him to get to that point), he’d tell you about his childhood. He talks about his trauma very casually like it never really affected him, but it subconsciously still hurts to think and talk about. He’ll trauma dump to a close friend/significant other and then think, “My life is kinda messed up.” Later on.

- If he suffers from night terrors or any type of sleeping ailments, I don’t believe he’d push his significant other away. He’d probably need a moment to collect himself because he’d be pretty dangerous in situations where he’s in a panic and isn’t thinking straight, but he’d definitely want to either stay close to you or hold you once he’s somewhat calmed down. He doesn’t mind being comforted; it’s just very foreign to him because he didn’t get much of it throughout his life. When he holds you, he likes to remind himself that he does have a piece of his mother in him and he isn’t 100% a monster. The softness he holds in the deepest parts of himself, he automatically associates them as traits passed from his mom.

- Simon is a soft man. He’d be very gentle as a significant other and as a father. He doesn’t yell or ever really raise his voice unless he’s pushed to a point. But he’d never want to be seen as anything similar to his dad.

- Now he may be soft most of the time, but if someone really pushes him, he can be petty and mean. When he gets angry, he doesn’t think and says things he doesn’t mean just to hurt the other person. He wouldn’t be like this towards his children if he had any, but there are definitely times where he’s argued with his significant other and thrown out a low blow. He’s someone that needs a lot of patience.

- A bit contradictory, but he has anger issues and that’s just that. Of course, he’ll keep level as much as possible, and he doesn’t yell often, but he definitely gets upset at a lot of little things. The someone spills a drink on him on accident, he has to take a moment to calm himself. His coat catches on the doorknob, and he’s gripping the wood tightly, just standing there fuming in silence.

- Carries candy in at least one of his pockets. Seems like the type to have a sweet tooth, and he especially falls into it after getting into a relationship or having a family. He used to just eat candies whenever he had a craving for them, but with an s/o or a family, he eats them whenever he feels he needs a cig or a drink. While sugar isn’t that good for you, he’d much prefer having that than dying of lung cancer or falling into addiction like his brother. He also likes baked goods purely for the fact that they have such a potent smell and can give his dreary apartment a comforting feel when he’s alone.

NSFW (you can scroll past this if you don’t want to see these the mini fluff piece is below this I’ll have it titled bold)

-He’s a gentle lover, doesn’t usually go rough unless asked or he’s upset. He likes to take his time when having sex since his work life is very fast-paced and high-stress. After a mission, he’ll want to make love to his s/o, being soft and gentle with his thrusts, enjoying the grip of you around his cock. After the initial soft round, if you're up for another, he’s not against going rougher.

-He doesn't do casual hook-ups often because they usually require him letting someone into his space or him going into an unfamiliar place. He’d do them in his car, bathroom, or generally anywhere that could give him semi-privacy with the person.

-That being said, Simon is not against semi-public sex. He’s not super kinky but is willing to try anything once. He would never do anything that had to do with blood, bodily harm with a weapon of any kind, and scat/piss. Those are super hard no’s for him. The farthest he’d go with ‘bodily harm’ is spanking, but I don’t see him using a belt at all. Besides, his palm is good enough to get the desired effects.

-Simon loves to cum inside. Not because he has a breeding kink, but because he loves watching his cum leak out of your well-used hole. He enjoys seeing your blissed-out face, knowing he’s to blame for your condition.

-He’s a giver more than a receiver. He loves giving you pleasure and often forgets about himself because he just adores your reaction to everything he’s dishing out for you. He doesn’t mind getting sucked off but would much rather eat you out or fuck you than that. He’s not a very selfish lover no matter his mood. It’s always 90% of his attention on you and the rest on himself. Even if you guys are hate-fucking or he’s in a bad mood, he’ll either edge you into oblivion or overstimulate you until you're crying.

-Simon Riley has a big dick; that’s just a fact. He is thick and he’s got good length. I’d say he’s a bit more girth than most men rather than long. He’s a grower and a bit of a shower. When he’s soft, you're gonna assume he’s like around 5.5 inches, but when you get him all riled up, he’ll get to around 6.7 inches.

-With him having been blessed in his nether regions, he does a lot of foreplay. And I mean a lot. He won’t fuck you until you’ve cum at least once and prepped and ready for him to ruin you. He will start with light teasing once he feels he's in the mood. Gets touchier than usual and will start with innocent little touches and kisses before pulling you into his lap.

-He loves doing and getting aftercare. He’ll lay down and settle for a bit after a good romp, but he’ll eventually either get up or let you get up to do some well-deserved sweet and domestic aftercare.

Mini fluff fic:

You shuffled through the kitchen, humming softly to the song playing through your speaker. The sweet aroma of vanilla and cinnamon filled the room, wrapping its scent around everything. Simon was supposed to be back from deployment today, so you wanted to make his favorite dessert as a welcome home gift.

You were so wrapped up in making sure everything was perfect you hadn’t heard keys jingling or the door open. With thoughts consumed, a yelp doesn’t fail to leave your lips when you turn around, bumping right into your husband's chest.

“Do I need to buy you a hearing aid, love?” Simon questioned, his unmasked face showing his amused expression.

“You are like a mouse when you walk!” You argued, lightly slapping him on the chest before turning back to the oven.

Simon let out a low chuckle and grabbed you by the waist, pulling you into his chest before resting his chin on your head.

You relaxed into him, leaning your head to the side, inhaling his cologne. Simon leaned down, pressing his scarred lips to your neck, mumbling something incoherent into your skin.

You squirmed in his hold, feeling ticklish as a small smile appeared on his face. “Simon, the cinnamon rolls are gonna burn.” Your words fell on deaf ears as Simon swayed you along to the music, saying nothing and just feeling you.

His fingers teased under your shirt and lightly gripped onto the skin of your hips, a soft sigh sliding from his lips as he relaxed.

The two of you stood there for a couple of minutes, just swaying softly, enjoying each other's presence before he reluctantly pulled away, pressing a soft kiss to your neck.

“You need any help with the rolls, hun?” He asked, looking at the golden brown cinnamon rolls in the oven. “When I take them out, you can help me with the icing,” you said, grabbing the bowl with the unfinished icing in it. Simon smiled and took the bowl from you, leaning down to press a kiss to your forehead before going over to the mixer…

﹟sebek : x gn!reader. cw children last two paragraphs. a lot of people headcanon sebek as mean, but i kinda think he’s like his dad in denial, so spreading my soft!sebek agenda.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ as much as i’m a firm believer that sebek is an absolute pain and likes to yell human and things, he’d be actually very soft. i imagine he’d not understand at all how his mother fell for a human but then it hits him like a truck when he realizes he likes you and he’s very soft for you. will still yell in a softer tone and call you human but 10/10 worries for you, carries your things, and acts like a proud puppy when you compliment him for being so strong and cool because he wants you to depend on him like a loyal knight. i’m not saying my portrayal of him in love is canon or anything, i’d just like to see things like soft sebek more often. i think he’d respect his mom and look like her, but resembles his dad more than he thinks, especially when it comes to his way of love.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ sebek can be very degrading and aggressive from an outsider’s perspective, people wondering if you really agreed to be in his general vicinity of your free will at times, but he’s a good boy at heart. not many people can stick it out and stay by him, so if you take the time to just listen and inquire a bit, it’s absolutely easy to make him melt. rather than calling him strange or far too dedicated, tell him he’s doing a great job and he’s cool, he will get flustered very easily.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ sebek tells you about how weird his father is and fails to understand why you chuckle at him. he’s holding your hand in his, the other arm carrying your bag he refused to let you carry because you’re a weak human, one that he really cares for. he proceeds to ask you why you’re laughing, only for you to laugh harder to yourself as you remember the night before he helped you do your assignments and taught you what you didn’t understand without once getting frustrated with you, making sure you understood the material under the guise of wanting you to uphold your honor.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ sebek definitely likes to be the big spoon and have you in his arms because he’s the strong knight, but does not mind being the little spoon on occasion. i headcanon his father is also a little spoon but father zigvolt is a different story. sebek enjoys your warmth as he’s cold blooded, resting his head against your chest as he curls into you, holding you close as he inhales your scent, feeling safe. sometimes he fails to realize you’re the one wearing the pants in the relationship as he follows you around doing groceries, getting what you need done.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ sebek says matching clothes are very stupid and you wearing his clothes is weird but surprise surprise he has matching clothes with you. his clothes are very warm and it makes him really happy to see some kind of him on you, like his clothes. 10/10 denies this but if you ask really nicely he will avert his gaze and not respond because he can’t lie to you when you look at him like that. you also have a matching set of holiday pajamas with his family because his parents loved that idea a whole lot.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ father!sebek who one day has a child with you, adoption or biological, fretting over his child secretly. he tells you he knows the child will be strong, along with explaining to you he’s not going to be weird and gushy like his father. he very much so is and likes to visit the baby when you’re busy or asleep and watches over them, heart melting as the little hands grip his larger ones. he’s smiling to himself with sharp teeth on full display as the baby laughs.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ father!sebek who carries a baby in his baby carrier when you’re busy with work for the day and he’s spending time with the baby. originally rejected the idea but you put it on him and for some reason there’s a baby in there already and he’s gone out to exercise, goodbye, you’re not seeing him or the baby for awhile because they are absolutely bonding, as much as a grown man and his baby can. lilia approves of this because he gets to see the baby during morning.

pairing: kuai liang x reader

sweet or spicy: sweet

word count: 713

prompt: [  WEDDING  ]: as they prepare to exchange wedding vows, sender gazes at the receiver and says “i love you” for the last time as an unmarried couple.

notes: here's day thirteen! it's our last fluffy prompt and let me tell you i was looking so forward to this one bc i love kuai liang so much <3

he truly never thought this day would come. kuai liang had always been so consumed by duty, his desire to work hard to protect earthrealm and represent his clan, that he never even considered that one day he would be married. but there he was, in his golden ma gua adorned with an ornate dragon pattern, standing across from you. 

you were breathtaking in your fiery red and gold cheongsam, the golden thread weaving an intricate phoenix pattern along the fabric. there were white flowers in your hair, and everything about you looked soft. kuai liang could hardly believe his eyes as he gazed at you, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. as he gazed into your eyes, all of the happy memories he’d made with you came flooding back, nearly overwhelming him.

he thought back to when you first met, how you had him tackled and pinned after he and his brothers ‘attacked’ madam bo’s restaurant. of course, you now knew it was nothing but an act, but in the moment, he was convinced that he was too dazed by your beauty to move a muscle. 

his thoughts wandered to your first date, a walk through the wu shi gardens as the new champions trained to try and best the others. you had no interest in the tournament, all you wanted was to get to know this handsome stranger. 

he thought back to his proposal, how it came mere hours after the attack on titan shang tsung’s forces. with every step climbed, he thought he might never see you again, and he had vowed to ask for your hand in marriage the moment he returned. he couldn’t bear to imagine a world where he didn’t have you in his arms. the very thought made him feel ill, and he knew what he had to do to change that.

now, there you were, as vibrant as ever, holding his hands as you prepared to exchange vows, and then your rings. the way the sun cast a glow on you was ethereal, and it was like he was gazing at an angel. you were going to be his, for the rest of your lives, and it was exciting. he knew he was the luckiest man alive, and he would shout his love for you from the rooftops if he had to. the whole world, and all of outworld, had to know how much he loved you. how much he cared, how far he was willing to go to keep you safe. that if any harm were to come to you, he would not rest until cities were leveled, and the culprit’s life had been the price paid. and he knew that if he said this out loud, you would laugh and shake your head, telling him he was being far too dramatic, but it was the truth. you were his everything, and you deserved the world. nothing less would be good enough.

he met your gaze again, and he knew that it was almost time. your lives were about to be forever linked together, and he couldn’t help himself.

“i love you,” he whispered. it would be his last time saying it as your fiancé, and while it might not have meant anything to anyone else, it was a big step for him. you were about to become husband and wife, life partners, one in the same. any future ‘i love yous’ would have a much deeper meaning in his eyes, but this … this one was special.

“i love you, too,” you whispered back, and you felt him squeeze your hands. you squeezed back, a mix of emotions coursing through your veins.

“are you ready for this?” he asked.

“as ready as i’ll ever be,” you replied.

“i … i can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. to create a future worth fighting for, a world of peace that our children will inherit,” he murmured, and you smiled.

“it’s going to be amazing. and there’s no one else i’d rather do it with than you,” you whispered, and again, he squeezed your hands.

it was almost time for your first step into forever, and there was no one else he’d rather take the plunge with.

You were never the one to suffer

Summary: Elrond goes on a bit of a rant.

Elrond was striking a pummel aggressively down his sword, a sword which he should not have had that night and Thranduil was very confused as to how he’d hidden it under such a sheer gown. He did not acknowledge Thranduil’s presence instead continuing with his task while staring out at the lights that flickered in the city below.

‘Do you have any idea of what you did in there? My father is not going to let something like that go, there will be repercussions for your king, why I’d be surprised if he didn’t fire you from his staff for this! Why you decided it was anything but egregiously offensive to wear that brooch tonight I could not begin to fathom, but the least you could have done is show respect to Ada’s perfectly reasonable response rather than lose your temper like that!’

Elrond acted as if he had not heard a word of this tirade and when he spoke his voice was soft and clear with a sharp cut to every carefully enunciated word, punctuated by the rhythmic slam unto his blade, a far cry from the passionate indignation that had bled through his words while speaking to king Oropher. ‘You know,’ his face was concealed by a curtain of black that must at some point have been pulled out of its braid, ‘when I was younger I thought there was something wrong with me. That there was some reason that I wasn’t deserving of the kind of love that children are meant to get, the all encompassing love that comes before all else. My parents may have been good people, and I cannot judge their decisions, but I find it hard to believe that someone who considered their children their highest priority would have left them in the position my brother and I were left in. I know I couldn’t have done that to any children of mine even if it were the right decision.’

He turned now and his voice began to shake with anger while tears began to slip past his lashes and onto his cheeks, ‘I try to understand and be aware of other people’s experiences but I was six and I would have died if I wasn’t lucky that Maglor was in a charitable mood and that he found us first. I should have died at six because my life and the lives of countless other innocents were considered collateral damage in a war over a fucking shiny rock by my own mother when she held onto that silmaril. And I still try to empathise with and love her and my father because they might have been right.’

‘I loved them to! I loved the kinslayers! They were monsters but they were there, they raised me, taught me, loved me but I still came second to those rocks! Because I’m never going to be enough! For anyone. I’m going to keep trying to be every age of this world, but people will always leave me. Because I’m too fragile to be a reason to stay. And don’t you dare try to tell me you know shit about how I should feel or deal with any of that because you don’t. You don’t and neither does he. And neither do I but I have more of a right to make a mess of it than he does.’

Holaaa! I hope you're doing well ^.^

I was hoping you could do HC w/ Itachi & Naruto?

Maybe something along the lines of reader telling them they have a toddler (from previous relationship), how would the 2 react/interact w/ readers kid...

Gracias

-🔮

a/n: hi! i thought this request was super adorable!! <3! so thank you for sending it in! i hope you enjoy :).

characters: itachi uchiha and naruto uzumaki

warnings: modern au, some brief mentions of pregnancy, break ups, some angst if you squint, fluff, wholesomeness, mentions of previous relationships.

Itachi Uchiha:

- now when i tell you this man is respectful, HE IS RESPECTFUL. he’s probably the sweetest man on the planet, so i’d expect nothing else but kindness from itachi.

- you first met itachi on a dating app. he was handsome, kind, and overall just a sweetheart. he was everything you ever wanted in a man, and he was a life saver. he wasn’t like the other men you had talked to previously on those apps, so you felt like you had found a serious one.

- while you were happy to have found someone like itachi, there was a small secret you had yet to tell him.

- you and itachi had gone on about three or four dates. he seemed to really like you. he wasn’t into sex that much, and he brought you flowers whenever he took you out. he was such a sweet guy, and you felt so lucky being in his presence. there was nobody else like him.

- the secret you had yet to tell itachi was that you had a child from a previous relationship.

- the man wasn’t much business to anyone else. he was an asshole, and he wasn’t prepared to be a parent so it left you with the responsibility of raising a baby alone. your mother was supportive and helped you the best way possible, but you felt so lonely without a second pair of hands in the picture.

- not only that, but it was kind of difficult for you to find a partner.

- most people weren’t into the idea of you having a child. they didn’t want to deal with that “responsibility,” and most people you spoke to turned you away the second they found out you had a toddler. it made you very upset, and it shattered any ideas of finding love.

- one day, after a lot of encouragement from your friends, you told itachi about your child.

- at first, he had many questions. you couldn’t really read if he was upset or not, but you answered everything truthfully. itachi didn’t seem to have much of a reaction to the sudden news.

- but, to your surprise, he was comfortable with that. he told you he wasn’t upset at all, and he adored children. he also mentioned that he didn’t see you any differently, and he liked you for who you were.

- you almost cried 😭.

- you eventually brought itachi over once your relationship got serious. meeting your child formed this spark in his eyes, and he loved being around her. itachi would almost act as if that was his own child, and he’d help you out whenever you needed it. it was such a sweet gesture, and you felt so relieved to find somebody like him.

- “you know.. your daughter looks a lot like you.”

- he LOVES taking your daughter out to the park or to play outside. itachi is a strong believer that kids should be outdoors, so expect him to take her out a lot. your daughter loves it more than you do, and it also gives you some time by yourself.

- he sometimes buys her gifts <3.

- HE DEFINITELY PLAYS BARBIES WITH HER AND YOU KNOW HE KILLS THE ROLE.

- he carries her on his shoulders whenever the two of you go out. he likes to let her touch the sky, and it’s super adorable.

- MY GOD HES SUCH A PERFECT DAD.

- itachi doesn’t mind at all, and he thinks your daughter is the sweetest person ever. although she isn’t his, he does his best to be a good man to her. this guy gets serious baby fever whenever he’s around her 🥲, and he’s such a gentleman with you. he feels so blessed to have her in his life with you.

- gonna go cry rn

Naruto Uzumaki:

- where do i even begin with this man? he is such a sweetheart! i cannot begin to describe how nice and kind his soul is. do not expect any bad/negative things from naruto :(.

- you first met naruto when you were at your local cafe. he was a barista, and, to your surprise, he approached you after he made your drink. he asked for your phone number, and you were completely taken back. however, you gave him your number after talking with him for several minutes. he even offered to make your next drink for free because you were pretty to him <3.

- being excited was an understatement. you hadn’t been approached by someone like that in a long time, but, deep down, a side of you believed it wouldn’t last long due to the secret you had.

- naruto was the sweetest guy you had ever met. he would call you all the time, and he even bought you boba one time because he wanted to see you. not only that, he had a big personality that you adored with everything inside of you.

- while it was beautiful, you had yet to tell naruto that you had a child at home.

- the father to your child wasn’t very involved in your sons life. he would come around and then disappear for a while, and it put a huge strain on you. you had to take care of your toddler all on your own, and it was hard dealing with it all at such a young age. your mom had to often step in sometimes if you were overworking yourself.

- many guys were also turned off by the idea of you having a child. it made you feel so hopeless.

- after talking with naruto for almost a whole month, you finally told him about your son. it was very hard for you to do, but you broke the news once you finished your date with him.

- at first, he was quiet, and it made your stomach drop. you knew he’d probably shun you away and do the same thing every guy had done to you, but, to your surprise, he wasn’t upset at all. he was more giggly and excited. he had so many questions that it left your head spinning.

- “a kid?! no way! that’s so cool! what’s his name? does he like ramen? oh, oh! does he play video games?”

- when the two of you grew more serious, you let naruto meet your son and he was in love. naruto thought he was the cutest little boy he had ever seen. he was very gentle, and he made sure to not mess anything up because he didn’t want you thinking anything bad of him 😭. he knew how important your son was to you.

- now, naruto isn’t the greatest with children. however, he tries his best to make it work.

- naruto often plans little movie days with your son. he usually picks out a cute pixar or disney movie to put on to watch with him. he always makes sure to build a fort or make some popcorn so neither of you guys go hungry while watching the film. he loves planning these kinds of things <3.

- naruto definitely does rub his bad habits onto your kid, but it’s adorable 😭.

- HE LOVES PLAYING WITH HIS STUFFED ANIMALS. idk why, but naruto would be obsessed with playing them with your kid and your son loves those kinds of days. sometimes he asks for naruto when he’s out at work :((.

- naruto likes holding his hand while you guys go out in public. he doesn’t want you to strain your back to carry him, so he likes to hold his hand or carry him himself. it’s so cute.

- whenever naruto spends the night, he makes sure to read your son a bedtime story before the two of you head to bed. his favorite thing to do is to watch him fall asleep at night. it gives him a sense of happiness knowing that he’s at peace and sleeping well because of him. he’d honestly die for that little boy 😭.

- UGH HES SUCH A SWEETIE.

- naruto likes playing hide and seek with your kid a lot. he’ll often hide in the oddest places, and he enjoys watching him laugh whenever he’s found naruto hiding. it’s super adorable and it warms your heart whenever you see it 🥲.

- all in all, naruto would be the most kindest boy to your son. he would treat him as if he was his own child, and he doesn’t mind if you need someone to watch him. he will gladly offer any day and he adores your little boy.

- give him some extra sugar <3.

[explosionshark]

The first time Miranda mentions kids, it’s so off-hand, so absent that Jack’s surprised she still remembers it, years later.

It had been a long night. Both of them worn thin by the strain of the war effort: by the looming knowledge that whatever world-saving scheme Shepard has been working on is almost finished, that they’d soon be recalled to Earth for one last stand against the Reapers, that this night could easily end up being the last they’ll ever be able to share together. Technically, that’s been true of their entire relationship, but it had been getting progressively harder to ignore. An urgency had set in, by that point, that hadn’t quite dissipated until months after the end of the war.

Miranda had been lying on her stomach, datapad in hand, composing a reply to the latest message received from her sister, with Jack draped across her back. Jack’s clinginess, and Miranda’s indulgence, were strange, new, guilty things. It was embarrassing to be desperate, to want something so badly, so plainly, to let it be known. But there was so little left to lose, they allowed themselves the luxury of it, stretched their patience with each other, dared to ask for more.

“It’s still surreal,” Miranda had murmured and Jack, nearly dozing, might not have heard her at all if her body wasn’t so dialed in to Miranda’s. When Jack hummed curiously, Miranda had spoken up a little louder, still staring fixedly down at the datapad. “Oriana. Seeing her, talking to her, touching her.”

They’d talked, a few times, by that point. Another one of those facts of Jack and Miranda’s relationship that had been enabled, fast-tracked, by their life-or-death circumstances. The exchanges had been cordial, if awkward. Jack and Oriana had both been curious about each other, both unsure of what they would mean to each other if they lived long enough to share parts of their lives.

Jack had only known the very basics of their history: that Oriana, like Miranda, had been a genetically altered clone of Henry Lawson. That Miranda had kidnapped her sister and fled from Lawson, had ended up approaching Cerberus for protection. The sick irony of the whole thing isn’t lost on Jack, but she tries to push down the still-simmering rage it causes, to stay in the moment, to take the opportunity to learn more.

“How old was she?” Jack asks. Miranda breathes out through her nose, taps the side of the datapad with her thumb. “When you saw her last, I mean? Like, before.”

“Only a baby,” Miranda says, voice soft, far away. “About seven months. He’d been keeping her a secret. Probably so he could — well, let’s not.”

Jack can’t be sure what Miranda was going to say, the reasons she suspects her father had been hiding an infant clone from her, but she knows this: Miranda was not his first attempt at a perfect daughter. And she knows this: Miranda and Oriana have no surviving sisters.

The rage flicks in Jack’s chest again. She imagines Henry Lawson’s skull exploding into chunks like a ripe melon. Remembers the flare of the blast when she and Shepard had blown Pragia to hell. She chews her lip and waits for Miranda to continue.

“Anyway, I… found out. It was the first time I’d ever held a baby. I had only ever been around children my age or older, to challenge me, develop my social skills. I couldn’t believe how small she was.” There’s a tone in Miranda’s voice, hushed, like she’s sharing a secret that Jack will someday be able to recognize as reverence. “I knew we had to get away. It was the most terrifying thing I’d ever done.”

“Running?” Jack asks, when Miranda pauses.

“Yes, that. But also just taking care of her. I was so scared every time she cried and I couldn’t figure out why, so exhilarated when I was able to comfort her. When it came time to give her up I was… relieved, but also devastated. I wanted more time with her. I was convinced that, with practice, I could get it right. I could be really, really good at raising her. I wanted to be able to try.”

“What stopped you?”

“From trying?”

“Yeah.”

“I was sixteen. I had commitments, I knew that Cerberus would help me if I could be useful, but I couldn’t offer them much with an infant to take care of. Besides, they offered me a family for her - people who actually knew what to do, who could keep her safe, away from danger, give her a life where she’d never have to burn everything down and run. Or so I thought,” Miranda pauses again, smiling bitterly and Jack drops an absent kiss to her bare shoulder. “Besides, I thought I’d get another chance, someday.”

The memory has stuck with Jack all of these years because of that admission and the way Miranda had reacted.

The implication was obvious, but the past tense was troubling. The way Miranda stiffened immediately once the words fell from her lips was the most alarming thing of all.

“Hey,” Jack had tried to pitch her voice, low, comforting. “What do—”

But Miranda rolled her over before she could finish talking. Distantly, Jack registered the datapad clattering to the floor, but the insistent press of Miranda's body over Jack's, the soft bite of Miranda's nails against Jack's scalp as Miranda dragged her up into a kiss eclipsed the whole world.

my thoughts on dad!spencer (in a canonical sense)

I love it. Obviously. It’s immaculate and amazing and sweet and we can see the way Spencer showers kids with the love that he didn’t receive when he was a child. But there are obviously some logistics that we need to consider.

1. His genetic makeup.

His mother is a paranoid schizophrenic who also struggles with Alzheimers. Spencer has a bachelor in psychology and has likely read every little thing about these neurodegenerative diseases; he therefore knows that it’s genetic. He suffered so much anxiety as he reached his early twenties because he had to consider the possibility that he might experience a schizophrenic break. When Diana was diagnosed with Alzheimers, Spencer has hinted towards the fact that he was worried about having to wait until he was in his sixties to see if he also had that gene.

It is likely that both of these diseases skipped a generation, but there’s no telling if these will carry onto the next one, namely Spencer’s children. He has experienced how difficult it is to help his own mother. Can you imagine how difficult it will be if he has to help his own child through a schizophrenic break? That’s extra trauma right there drizzled with guilt and regret on the side.

2. His work.

I am an avid believer that Spencer would quit working at the BAU if it meant being there for his child. He already has a good rapport with Georgetown University seeing as he has taught there, meaning that he always has that option. But if we want Spencer to return as a father, there’s a likelihood he wouldn’t be a constantly returning character (that is, if the writers choose to stay true to his character). Obviously, we won’t know their final choices until after the episodes have aired, and MGG has stated that he would love to return; I just doubt he’d return as a dad (unfortunately ☹️).

3. His wife/partner.

The ending between Max and Spencer is honestly very ambiguous. We have no idea if they ended up working through the whole issue with Cat and we also have no idea if Spencer then moved onto another woman. Obviously, whoever they end up pairing Spencer with is going to either be adored or absolutely hated (read: Maeve Donovan) depending on how they create her character. Spencer is considered to be the most loved and favourited character in the whole Criminal Minds franchise, meaning that there is a whole fandom out there made specifically for him. The backlash that the actor/actress and the writers would face should his partner’s character be unsatisfactory would be detrimental to careers, and they need to handle the situation with care.

Final thoughts:

I would love for Spencer to return to Criminal Minds franchise just as much as the next person. Matthew brings such a life into the role and it’s honestly sad knowing that he isn’t in the last season. Seeing him as a father would honestly bring and provide so much closure to the character, but there are also unrealistic standards that need to be met. Maybe (for now) dad!spencer should just be kept as a fandom thing.

This being said, adoption/fostering is always on the table (and I don’t think Spencer would ignore it). Plus, him being a single father is also on the table. It’s all up to the writers’ decision.

This is my opinion!! If you agree or disagree, let me know, I’d love to read your thoughts 🩷

The Miracle of Thanksgiving - Batfamily Imagine

Requested by Anon - I’d like to see some single father Bruce Wayne trying to manage without Alfred

***

Bruce wasn’t sure if he was imagining things when he woke up to the smell of food burning. His eyes shot open as he sat up in his bed at the brownstone house in the city. 

A call to Alfred died on his lips. He shook his head. Alfred was gone, dead. He and you, his youngest child, moved into the brownstone house a month ago. The manor held too many ghosts for Bruce. 

He threw off the covers and got out of bed. There was a chill in the air. Bruce shivered, remembering how he stopped Mr. Freeze from freezing the city last night. Apparently, the temperature still hadn’t gone back to normal yet. 

A loud yelp came from somewhere in the house. The fire alarm sounded. Bruce burst out of his room and down the hallway. Smoke was coming from the kitchen. He skid to a stop when he saw you coughing and waving away the smoke billowing out of the open oven door. 

“(Y/N)? What the hell are you doing?” Bruce hurried over, closing the oven door with his foot while reaching over to turn the oven off. You coughed hard, tears streaming down your face. He scooped you up in one arm, opening windows with the other. The burning smell was even worse than before. He reached up to reset the fire alarm before the fire department arrived at the door.

You rubbed your eyes. Bruce set you on the counter before grabbing a rag, wetting it and placing it over your eyes. “I’m sorry,” you coughed again. Bruce glanced at the kitchen. It was at this point he noted the mess on the counter. Ingredients all over the place. Pots on the stove. He reached over to turn it off when he noticed some of the smoke was coming from one of them. 

Bruce turned back to you. You had one of Alfred’s old aprons on, folded to fit you. Bruce’s heart panged. You had taken on so much since Alfred’s passing and you were so little. His baby. “What were you doing?”

You sniffled, wiping your face with the rag. “I...I was making Thanksgiving dinner.” You looked up at him, tears sparkling in your eyes, lips pulled down into a frown. “I wanted to make it like Alfred used to. As a surprise.” 

Bruce’s stomach dropped to his feet. He glanced around the kitchen again. He felt you tense as he looked back at you. “That was...very thoughtful of you, sweetheart.” Bruce rested a hand in your hair. You leaned into his touch. “But...maybe you should have asked for help.”

“From who? You?” You laughed, coughing a little still from the smoke. “Daddy, you were banned from the kitchen.”

A smirk played on Bruce’s lips. “I suppose that is true.” Who knew you were supposed to put water in the pot before turning on the stove? Or that you were supposed to drain the can before making the tuna salad? Honestly, there was a reason he and you had been living off takeout and ham sandwiches since Alfred’s death.

“And it’s just you and me this year, so I wanted to do something nice for you,” you mumbled, looking down at your lap. Your hands smoothed over the apron. Bruce pursed his lips. The rest of his children had other plans, which Bruce understood. They didn’t want to be here and feel Alfred’s absence as strongly as you and Bruce did now. You sniffled again. “But I wreaked it.”

Bruce pulled you into his arms. You buried your face into his chest. “It’s okay. I love that you tried to make this special for us and I know you miss Alfred.” A sob slipped out of you. Bruce had to blink back tears himself. “You did a good job even if it didn’t turn out like you wanted.”

“But now we have no food.” You pulled away to look up at him. Bruce grabbed a paper towel and mopped up your face. He ignored the wet stain on his shirt. 

Bruce opened his mouth to speak, but the doorbell rang. He frowned slightly. You hiccupped. “Why don’t you go clean yourself up and I’ll answer the door?” Bruce set you down on the floor. You sniffled again and shuffled off toward the bathroom. 

If Bruce believed in miracles, he’d be hoping there was one at the door. However, he didn’t, so as he walked, he tried to remember if there was any takeout places open on Thanksgiving. 

Bruce opened the door, raising an eyebrow at the sight of Clark Kent grinning at him like an idiot. Dorky glasses and all. Bruce wondered if he shouldn’t have given Clark the address, not that it would stop him. “Yes?” Bruce asked when Clark didn’t say anything.

“So you burnt dinner huh?” Clark brushed past Bruce, peeking into the kitchen. “Yikes, now I understand why you were banned from the kitchen.”

“Actually, (Y/N) attempted to make the dinner on their own.” Bruce glared, warning him not to mention it. Clark winced.

“Aww, I see.” Clark rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my place for Thanksgiving. You left so fast after the meeting yesterday, I didn’t get a chance to ask.”

Bruce didn’t believe in miracles, but damn this was close enough to one that he couldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. “Yes,” Bruce said. Clark glanced down at Bruce’s clothes. He was only wearing an undershirt and boxers. A rare blush came to Bruce’s cheeks. “(Y/N) and I need to get dressed first.”

“Of course, take your time. Ma’s just started the turkey an hour ago.” Clark waved a hand and went to make himself comfortable in the living room. Bruce watched him a moment before walking away.

***

Hours later, Bruce sat on the porch of the Kents’ farm house. Your laughter filled the air as Conner Kent lifted you up onto the Kents’ horse. Kara started to lead the horse around the field. Bruce tensed slightly, but relaxed when he saw Conner and Kara were watching you closely. 

“Hot cocoa incoming,” Clark said, bumping the door open with his hip and stepping out. He was still grinning like a idiot, but Bruce found he didn’t mind that much. “Bruce?” Bruce flinched, not realizing Clark was trying to hand him a mug. 

“Thanks.” Bruce slipped the cocoa, wrinkling his nose at the taste. It was very sweet with a hint of peppermint. He turned to look at you, hoping Clark wouldn’t notice his reaction. 

Clark chuckled, sitting in the chair next to Bruce. “(Y/N)’s having fun?”

“Yes.” Bruce cleared his throat. When Bruce told you about going to the Kents, you hesitated. He knew you wanted to make this Thanksgiving special by yourself, but he gently convinced you to come. Now he was glad. This is what you needed. People that were more...normal than him.

Clark sat back, watching Kara jog to get the horse to run faster. You giggled madly in delight. “I’m glad you could come. Ma always makes too much food.”

Bruce hummed. He took another sip of the cocoa. Honestly, it was growing on him surprisingly. The two men fell silent. The sun was setting. Leaves scattered in the wind. 

“Clark...” Bruce said so quietly that most people wouldn't have heard, but of course, Clark heard everything. “Thank you. I didn’t know what I was going to do to make this day...not horrible for (Y/N).”

Clark pursed his lips, chuckling softly. “You’re welcome, Bruce.” He eyed Bruce, snorting when Bruce couldn’t look back at him. The two men fell silent again, watching you, Kara, and Conner play. Bruce’s heart fell warm for the first time in months.

What kind of parent do you think Apollo would be like if the Olympians rules for not visiting their kids weren't in place?

Hope you're doing alright btw

mmmmmmmmmmm that’s a very good question.

i don’t know if i have the perfect answer because everything we know in canon about apollo is so influenced and redefined by zeus/olympus’ rules and views about demigods that i don’t feel we’ve ever seen him act without those being a factor.

by which i mean that even when allowed to interact with his kids freely (eg when he was at Camp in the first and last book), apollo still couldn’t undo years of damage in a few weeks. in THO it was apparent that he knew his children very little, and he still hadn’t shedded his facade of carelessness and immaturity (except in life and death situations). he was considered almost more of a peer than a parent, and for good reason.

in ToN, he was kind of busy not dying, and was mentally preparing himself for the goodbye he believed to be final or almost final.

still, with the little information that we have (including his relationship with Esklapios), i’d say an apollo who’s allowed to parent would be:

1) extremely protective lmao

2) a ride or die, “i stand with my cancelled daughter” type of parent.

3) very fun. let’s skip school and get donuts type of fun. ofc i want to see your bug collection type of fun. let’s sign up to a cooking class together type of fun. love your emo style keep expressing yourself baby type of fun.

4) physically and verbally affectionate. no apollo kid would ever have to complain their father never said he was proud of them.

i really think his main issue as a parent would be that he’d spoil and justify the kids too much lol. can’t envision him as particularly strict.

we do have the halcyon green story which… always me throws me out of a loop, but the main consensus in the fandom is that he was somehow pressured or forced into that decision. not because we don’t believe apollo can be cruel or unfair (he definitely can), but because his love and kindness towards his own kids is a pretty established trait of him. my man has his flaws but let’s be fr.

and i’m good thank you!!! i hope i can write some more soon🤓

[oatmilk-earlgrey]

Someone on here recently pointed out that the Good Omens S2 ending had to happen in order to get the tv version back to the same stakes the book ended with- that the book didn’t have the trials or the establishment of A&C’s Our Side™️…

And this just clicked in my head! That’s why we were shown these minisodes- with the emphasis on Aziraphale’s struggles with morality and human ethics opposed to Heaven’s.

Crowley’s (paraphrasing) ‘I think I understand a whole lot better than you do’ at the end of Ep6 rings true when you look at the history we’ve been carefully and deliberately shown this season- he’s almost always had the moral high ground!

Interestingly, with Job and their thwarting of the ordered killing of his children & animals, they both had the same stance. However Aziraphale still struggled to lie to Heaven, and as soon as he did, he was upset, he assumed he’d Fall and was prepared to be taken to Hell.

Because it’s different for Crowley- he’s a demon who has seen both sides- he is able to see right through Heaven’s bullshit standards and connect with Humanity. He’s been at the lowest point with no power and he’s also been at the very top with no power- because that’s not how it works! You can’t question or undermine God’s Will with suggestions!

And if these two had communicated more, Aziraphale may have

It’s in his nature to question and see things as having many layers to them- and arguably so does Aziraphale- but nothing has happened yet narrative wise that has steered his Good from Heaven’s unwaveringly Virtuous, Pure, Virginal Good.

That’s why he leans towards his ‘shades of very light grey, (I’d rather fancy)’ and his Jane Austen’s fantasies where two people in love drift towards each other in an old fashioned and appropriate courtship- because he’s very much stuck in his ways.

He needs something to happen. He needs to start seeing the cracks in the Institution of Heaven. He needs to fully understand what Crowley meant when he said, ‘When Heaven ends life here on Earth, it’ll be just as dead as if Hell ended it.’ (A very poignant line and beautifully written ). He needs to wake up and see that things aren’t just black and white, that Earth is not worth losing to some unforgiving entity whose decisions he will likely soon learn he has no say in.

And the tragic part is that neither of them are right, per se. It’s all so conflicted. Crowley is extremely naive to believe that they could just run away and be together and that none of their problems would resurface. Aziraphale has been manipulated into a dangerous position he’s not prepared for.

They haven’t communicated with each other about vital pieces of information that could jeopardise the other’s safety. Because that’s how they’ve had to work for 6000 years out of fear of the other’s destruction.

And Aziraphale is intelligent, he knows that they can’t just run from their problems, and that’s why he reacts the way he does as Crowley confesses, as Crowley kisses him, as he continues to want to flee rather than fight and change Everything.

That’s him realising that he’s going to have to do this on his own, without Crowley there as his moral guide. Because Crowley’s always been there to point out another way of looking at things. Over time, he’s taught him the Human way: human ethics, human morals, human empathy.

Chapter 3

Pairings : Marc Spector x Female!oc, Steven Grant xFemale!oc, Jake Lockleyx Female!oc

Genre: Fluff (angst and smut later on)

Summary: About 6 years ago, Marc Spector had a small whirlwind romance fling with a young woman after leaving home, though he fears attachment and leaves her behind. When he finally meets her again after 6 years, with a few surprises, could he bear to face her and reveal his truth?

Kid……kids……his kids? Marc couldn’t believe it. He didn’t know how to react. Terra had sat there, a little tense herself, waiting to see what he would do. He breathed a little faster, hands tense on his lap. It looked like he was close to crying, maybe close to screaming. Then just every so softly she placed her hand atop of his.

“Marc, breathe, it’s okay……”

Marc took a breath, the others in the headspace listening in,waiting to see what would happen. So they sat there a bit, her hand closed around his while he relaxed and finally held onto her own hand. Not too strongly but enough that she knew he was going to be okay. It gave her some peace of mind.

“Look…..I’m sorry….I’m sorry I didn’t tell you…..” she starts with a soft sigh. “Well, honestly, I couldn’t even find you after you left, you didn’t give me anything other than your name” Terra gives a lighthearted laugh. Watching her babies play and mold things out of the dirt and sand from the ground. It had been close to six years but she wouldn’t trade all the hardships for the world. Their laughter the one thing that made her day.

Marc staying silent.

“Listen, you don’t have to do anything.”

That shocked him. What did she say? Was she saying he wouldn’t be able to handle this news? Handle their kids? Huh……

“Marc, you have children! They’re adorable! No wonder that boy looked familiar, he reminds me of…..of Randall”

“Marc, I’m not saying you won’t be able to care for them…” Did she read his mind? “Far from it! And you seem like you’d be good with them..” If he could have a chance maybe? “In no way I’d want you to have to be all ‘I need to be a father and do my part’ kind of deal”

Jake was wary of Terra, how she seemed to rush into inviting them over, but seeing how she got every single thought and insecurity right was actually interesting to watch. At least from the reflection anyway. It was amusing to watch Steven hang on her every word. Not like he wasn’t paying attention too. Just making sure for Marc’s sake that she was as she said she was.

“Marc…..I just…..” Terra looks over at the two kids, and deciding to calm the situation. “The girl, her name is Leia and the boy is Luke….I know I know, I’m a Star Wars nerd, sorry” That got a chuckle out of him at the very least. “Leia is so much like you, super passionate, has a lot of energy, she’s the oldest of the two. Luke is the younger one by two minutes, but he’s super aware, likes to build things. Both super adventurous”

Marc sniffles a bit, red round his eyes. Siblings. That sounded so much like his own childhood he’d lost so long ago. He could see the shine in their eyes, so much like Randall. The brother he’d lost so long ago. He’d felt soft hands cradle his face, wanting to fight it, walk away from showing any emotion, but he’d slowly let her turn his head towards her own. Forehead resting against his.

“Marc, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you cry” she insists, using her thumbs to wipe away the stray tears that had fallen and giving him a soft smile in return. “If anything, if you want, you can be a part of their lives……I just don’t wanna force you to be with me, you probably have a life all your own me I don’t wanna make you drop everything”

“Why are you crying mister?”

Marc sniffles, wiping his tears with his hand and finding the small child, Leia, gazing up at him. No longer in a defensive stance like the other day, but with curiosity and empathy. Her small hand raised up with a small daisy. “Please don’t cry”

“Baby, he’s just feeling some emotions, he’ll be okay.” Terra defends, knowing how empathetic the twins were. And just as she finished, she spotted Luke wiping his hands on his shorts, and grabbing a set of tissues from his pocket. Walking over to hand them over to Marc.

“Here mister, this wipe them away” Luke says quietly with small smile. Opening the packet and raising up on tippy toes to dry the tears that had stained Marc’s cheeks.

Leia ever observant, looked at her mother with concern. “Mommy? Is this a friend of yours?”

What could she say? Yes she knew him, but her children weren’t one to ask questions unless they were really curious about something. At least they could read the room. “Well, this is Marc, he’s a long time friend of mommy’s, we just haven’t seen each other in a while”

Marc was glad that was what she was going with for now. It hurt a bit she didn’t tell them straight out, but hearing Steven’s voice in the headspace. ‘It’d confuse them! Let’s be patient for now mate! That’d be the best option’ ‘I kinda agree amigo, we can wait a bit’

“Hi, I’m Marc, nice to meet you” he hated his croaky voice, he must look awful as he felt the sting in his eyes. But they accepted his hand. Leia giving a huge grin, missing a front tooth. Luke was wary but gives a handshake back with a smile of his own.

**********************************

It was only a few hours after that he left. Seeing their small hands wave goodbye from the front door. Marc let Steven take over for the rest of the way home, exhausted, but a bit happy. Terra even handed them her contact information so he could come visit again. If he wanted to, she still held up that he didn’t have an obligation, but he’d wanted to try. Wanted to try for her, for the twins.

“Mate, those two were so adorable! Luke seemed so smart, Leia has her mothers spirit! Jake agrees, and don’t lie, you seemed to like them too”

Jake didn’t want to admit it but he was amused with how Marc tried handling the kids, though like always he worried for Marc and Stevens safety. Though it seemed sitting there he felt an unknown calmness that hadn’t been there before. The stress and fear having melted away. He’s never seen Marc this awkward yet happy.

“We’ll see them again won’t we? Those little buggers seemed attached to to Marc already, wouldn’t be a bad thing would it?”

“Steven, it could work, but maybe it wouldn’t, those kids are cute but……”

“Terra, she didn’t reject me, she should have been upset that I left, that I left her all alone. What kind of woman doesn’t get angry like that? I’d be mad at myself” Marc sighs, raking his hands through his hair and pacing in the headspace. He had fun with the kids, hearing their made up stories and playing their games, but would it be too much too soon to be involved in their lives?

“Uh…..chaps…..I just remembered, did she say she was only here for two months?”

That’s what made him stop in his tracks, looking at the piece of paper in Steven's hands from the giant fish tank. This might be a long shot but he wasn’t going to walk out of her life again. Didn’t want to lose contact with the twins. He wasn’t going to lose her again.

Not this time.

[enruiinas]

I’m still on my Law novel feels BS, so I thought I’d sit down and sort through a few of my favorite lines/things I feel are most integral to my understanding of Law as a character (and therefore my portrayal of him).

Long, rambly post with many feels and spoilers from the Law novel ahead. Like, direct quotes from the entire thing so… read at your own risk if you haven’t read it.

♡ “And if White Lead Disease had never existed, maybe my parents, my sister Lami and I would be running a hospital by now. For a moment, the scene I imagine dazzles me. Oh yes, what happiness that would be. But at the same time, I know that I will never be able to find this lost world. I must no longer lean toward the past, but move toward the future.”

There is a part of Law that has always and will always think of the “what if”s and how things might have gone differently in every aspect of his life. He wonders what it would have been like if his family survived and he’d had a normal childhood. He wonders what would have happened if Cora-san had lived, what might have happened if he’d given his missive to any other marine besides Vergo, and if it would have been better if Cora had never met him. These are a few of the darker places he goes when he’s left to his own devices or there’s no one around to keep his thoughts from spiraling. It’s stated again and again throughout the novel how seriously Law takes his duty as the leader of the squad, captain of the crew, how much it means to him that people follow and learn from him, etc. Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi need him as a leader role in their lives in pursuit of their own meaning and ambitions- but he NEEDS to be needed in a leader capacity just as much. Knowing people depend on him and need him to keep moving forward gives him the means to keep those “what if” thoughts at arms’ length. Yes, it’s nice to envision the might have beens, but he knows it would be entirely too easy to lose himself in them if he didn’t have a reason to push through and keep moving forward.

Along those same lines…

♡ “I can’t lose, I don’t have the right.”

He’s put himself in the position to lead them- as much for their sake as his. Now he’s committed and this is what he reminds himself when things get hard or they’re facing difficult obstacles. He’s been saved by the kindness of people and handed his life back twice - first in Cora-san’s sacrifice to find a cure and free him, and again after Wolf finds him in the cave following his extraction of the White Lead Disease from his body. Does he sometimes still experience survivor guilt after everything he’s been through? Absolutely. But he’s been given his life and knows he can’t disgrace his late benefactor by letting it go to waste. He has to live make sure his death meant something by living to the fullest extent he can.

♡ “I thought I had nothing more to hope for from anyone, the way Cora acted towards me prompted me to give them a second chance to people and to believe in the human again.”

♡ “Aah… the more I think about it, the more I tell myself that in fact, this world is not that bad.”

These two quotes come up early in Law’s stay with Wolf and pretty quickly following his savior’s death. In the few short months they had together, Cora-san managed to instill such powerful ideas and hopes in a kid that was hellbent on burning the world down.

Law absolutely knows that the world is far from perfect. He’s seen horrible things and was for a very long time a hurt little boy very much afraid of the pain and misery “bad adults” could inflict on children. He was afraid of their disapproval and their resentment. But Corazon taught him to love again and to open up to seeing the good in people again.

This was one of the things where the depth the novel provided really took me by surprise. Prior to reading it, I liked to think about the similarities between Law and Robin and how the latter had come to see good in people again but Law hadn’t quite made it there yet. But that’s not true at all. I didn’t realize how big of an affect the 3 years on Swallow Island and the company of his friends really impacted him.

This fell apart a little as I was writing it because this post is getting pretty long on my phone (I’ll probably edit this part later), but my takeaway from this part is for all his stoic demeanor, Law does see and value the kindness in people and is motivated by hope and good things. The novel even states that his goals when he sets out include:

♡ “Enemies to beat, countries to save, an immense sea on which to travel with his crew…”

For a kid so determined on insisting he’s “not a good person”, umm. Yes, he is. And I think everyone who really knows him would refute that claim of his.

♡ I didn’t save the exact quote, but it’s important to me to note that Law really enjoyed the three years on Swallow Island. He cherished the time spent with Wolf and the OG3, loved their meals together, loved their little makeshift family. He loved the people of Pleasure Town and the work he did in the clinic, and a part of him knows it would have been easier to stay there than you’d think before he learns to pursue his goals and the concept of “true freedom”. (This was another ‘wow’ moment for me because I’d always leaned into unresolved angst and inner turmoil. Prior to the novel I would have said -did say, even, in plotting with @clownquixote- that Law would never want to go back to North Blue because too much bad happened there. But I can absolutely see him looking forward to going back and seeing Wolf again someday now, even if it’s not to stay.)

Lastly, two random lines I don’t have to elaborate upon a lot but that are super important:

♡ “I suddenly have the impression of seizing this ‘joy of the doctor’ that my parents looked for more than anything in the world, they who taught me everything.”

Combined with Law’s insistence to Wolf that he would only ever use his DF to be the best doctor he could be, he takes his profession as a doctor very seriously. It is essential to who he is, even more so than being a pirate or the Captain of the Heart pirates.

♡ “It’s not that I have a heart of stone, but I don’t want my feelings to be a brake on my progress.” // ♡ “Then I turn around so that none of those in the room can see how silly happiness makes me look.”

Law does feel things. I would even venture to say he feels things A LOT and more deeply than most- good or bad. He just knows how to take all of those feelings and convert them into what he needs to keep moving forward and being the other thing he loves being: a leader to those who needed one. And also, he is a dork and will hide happiness just as much as he would hide his tears.

—-

Oops I had to edit to add this: despite all the progress I didn’t know he made and the insight he gained on Swallow Island, I have strong thoughts on what the things he saw unfold at Marineford and time alone on Punk Hazard did to him. I rambled last night that he needs people around him to keep him from spiraling and NOT having them around for a while certainly resulted in steps backwards in many aspects. Maybe he’s lost sight of the good things again temporarily besides his own crew but no, I don’t think the part of him that sees the good in people/the world (or wants to) is gone.
