the creator and friendship levels!

as we know, in genshin you can have a level of friendship with your characters. and at level 10, you get a small reward. but considering the sagauverse, and what if a character's friendship level determines the connection they have with the creator (you)?

for some characters, the creator was just a name that adorned the pages of history books and papyri, just a myth as they would never know the ardor of having the creator's favor. (and of course, just an untouchable figure on a glorious golden throne - the impostor).

however, for others, the presence of the creator was clear and undeniable. characters with a certain high level of friendship were able to recognize the divine presence with just a single look.

"it's you!" they would say, their voice carrying their clear astonishment but infinite adoration. "i always knew you would return, your grace!"

(in my case, my characters with the highest level of friendship are: bennett, layla, yaoyao, yelan, scaramouche, kaeya, barbara, lyney, heizou.)

the impostor may continue to enjoy their moments of glory and power (surrounded in the company and protection of the archons), but the true chosen ones (ur mains) will always be aware of the truth.

Why I think Layla might be related to Khaenri’ah !

she’s the only other character who’s sitting down in their artwork aside from Kaeya, who, in theory, is sitting down because he’s sitting on his throne as a the heir to Khaenri’ah’s royal throne. Her hair and the tassels on her wrists as well as the back of her cape are the four-pointed stars we see on every Khaenri’ahn related character. Also her circlet, or crown (pointing to royalty) has some of the stars and the shading in her hair also is in the shape of the stars in a lighter, grayer color- like Kaeya’s streak of gray hair, or Pierro’s streak of navy hair. She shares a similar enough color palette to Dainsleif and Kaeya and Pierro and maybe even Albedo if you squint. What if she’s another member, or maybe even a sage, of Khaenri’ahn royalty- also sitting on a throne. Especially a royal sage or consultant of some sort, seeing as her pose looks like she’s advising someone to do something.

The four- pointed stars on Kaeya’s eye and clothes:

The four pointed stars on her:

The Official Genshin YouTube channel also posted this about her:

So she’s a sleepy character who apparently has never experienced sleepwalk, and by a stretch, has never had a dream. In the Genshin trailer: Travail, way back, the one where they show a small glimpse of the nations, Dainsleif mentions that “there are those who dream of dreaming.” He also mentions that “Some say a few are chosen and the rest are dregs.” Now I’m really stretching, but what if what happens to her here in this description is connected- what if the stars descending on her paper was her being ‘chosen’- she also calls it “The star’s blessing”. Especially with the fact that she had just woken up from a restful nap- what if she had a dream during that nap, and as a Khaenri’ahn, allowed her to be blessed by these random stars???

ALSO @genshin-impact-updates said that her constellation is apparently called ‘Luscinia’ so i googled it and (copy pasted from wikipedia) Luscinia is a genus of smallish passerine birds, containing the nightingales and relatives. It also said this:

Now who else do we know is one eyed-?? Dain, Pierro, and Kaeya- all of them not only related to Khaenri’ah, but related to Khaenri’ahn royalty. I googled what nightingales symbolize, and apparently they symbolize a LOT like creativity and nature and melodies and mystery even???

I’ve also never seen a nightingale in my life but apparently they sing a lot at night so maybe she’s really supposed to symbolize some sort of magic or dreaming or stars or whatever as a Khaenri’ahn. At this point I’m really stretching but MY POINT IS BABE WAKE UP NEW KHAENRI’AH RELATED CHARACTER JUST DROPPED

Edit; I have something to add on the visual similarities between her and the other Khaenri’ahns we know. her hoodie/ veil is twisted to cover the right side of her face more than her left side. Just like Kaeya’s hair and eyepatch, as well as Pierro and Dain’s covered right sides. I think it’s a more subtle way of pointing to how Khaenri’ahns cover their eye just like their King Irmin mentioned in Hidden Strife.

Edit2: jk she can sleepwalk my bad Idk if she can dream or not tho

Brooke, if you died and got isekai’d which anime mom/dads would you want as your new parents?

I took a lot of liberties with this and decided to choose characters from a wide range of media. I also chose some that would be good platonic yandere siblings. (Also, this ask made me realize how little anime I've watched).

Catelyn and Ned Stark:

There aren't that many good parents in Game of Throne and House of the Dragons. So, if I had to pick one it would be them. The were definitely the best parents and had a very genuine love for their children. Personally, I think the Stark family with a child who was transported to their world would be very interesting. I think at the beginning, Catelyn wouldn't really like you since, like with Jon, she sees you as some random kid trying to ruin her family, but after a while she grows on you. Ned would love having another child, even if he pretends like he doesn't. I view Ned as a caretaker at heart and would love the opportunity to take care of someone, regardless of if they were "his" child or not.

Marc Spector/ Steven Grant and Layla El-fouly:

I know technically they're divorced, but I still think they would be great parents. I like out of the three, Steven would want a child the most. He loves taking care of the children at his museum job and would secretly want a child of his own. Layla would love the idea of a child but wouldn't really warm up to it until she spends time with you. She would teeter on being a strict mother, while also being a fun mom you want to spend your time with. Marc doesn't like the idea of children due to all he's been through. He doesn't think he'd be a good father, but regardless, I think if he happened to have one, he would do everything in his power to be the best dad possible.

Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen:

Another Game of Thrones one, but I had to mention them. I feel like, compared to the greens, their children are the most well-adjusted. I think both of them, regardless of if they are Yandere or not, would be extremely protective of their children. However, if they were yanderes, their protectiveness would be ten times greater. They are both very controlling but would work hard for you to have a great life. It also doesn't help that their children also inherit their yandere tendencies.

Dracula and Lisa (Castlevania)

I think they would be amazing parents. While it's been a while since I watched the show, I know they would care deeply about their children. I can see Lisa finding you, a sick child unable to take care of themselves, and nursing you back to health. During this, her and her husband become deeply invested in you, and can't possibly let you go once you get better. Dracula despises the idea of you growing old and dying, so he does whatever he can to prevent it. He would definitely encourage Alucard to be just as protective in you as him and Lisa are.

Honorary mentions:

Literally any character from LOTR/ the Hobbit

Nearly any Marvel character

the Grayson Family (Invincible)

I'm really sorry I couldn't come up with more. I haven't watched a lot of anime since I don't really have that much time, and because they're all so long. So, I apologize if this wasn't what you wanted.

closed starter ; @kittywriites

“Not that I’m complaining…” Velvet tones purred from her glossed lips, amused gaze flickering across her favourite patron as she made her approach to the velvet throne that had became his home in her establishment. Slow gait, sultry as she stretched to straddle his lap, perching just high enough to create that purposeful distance between them. Manicured fingertip gently tugging his lower lip down as she guided his gaze. “But there are other dancers here. You know? Why am I so special, huh?” Practically oozing sex appeal, like every action was a caricature of arousal, ‘the perfect woman’ if you will. Farrah, or Layla, as he had come to know her, had no qualms taking his money. It helped that he was handsome, charming, and devoted above all, but it hadn’t escaped her that she was benefiting from his obsession. Naturally, she had grown curious. Her question was punctuated with the sudden drop into his lap, leisurely taking her time to perform a figure eight with her hips with a sickly grin.

Wish II JAS: Trivia about Omari

Prince Omari lives in the kingdom of Wahatan. It is located miles away from the sea. Wahatan means "oasis" in arabic, and true to its name, the capital city settles within a large oasis.

Wahatan is also home to various institutions that teaches a variety of subjects like art, science and mathematics. Wahatan is also known for its calligraphy and pottery.

The royal family resides in a beautiful castle at the heart of the capital. Inspiration: Great Mosque of Djenné.

Royal Family: It is believed that the royal family is descended from the legendary figure Sundiata. In real life, Sundiata was the first king of the Malian Empire. In this context his reign is fictionalized for the sake of plot.

King Jabbari is the current ruler of Wahatan. He inherited the throne at the age of 16. He is a stern yet friendly monarch, however he is often too busy with work to look after his son. When Omari was eight, Jabbari's beloved queen Suli died of illness. Jabbari is pressured by his court to find a new wife, but Jabbari is not sure if he wants to move on.

Princess Khadija is Jabbari's sister. She is a sneaky woman who uses magic and alchemy to achieve her goals. Khadija is jealous over being lower in line for the throne, and plots to overthrow her own brother. Shockingly, she is happily married to one of the royal advisors, Sharun. Besides bossing people around, she enjoys the finer things it life. Her name may mean "trustworthy" in Arabic, but honest she is not!

Sharun is Khadija's husband and Jabbari's advisor. Like his wife he is also sneaky and plans on taking control of the throne. He does not have magic powers but makes up for it with his silver tongue. The only thing Sharun loves more than power is his wife. In fact he was the one who suggested stealing the stars, just to make her happy. His name is derived from the Arabic word for evil, "sharir."

Omari is Jabbari's only son. As the crown prince he is taught multiple disciplines, but astronomy has become his favorite. His dream is to create a new way to study the stars. Omari doesn't trust magic. He blames it for not helping his mother recover from her fatal illness.A quiet loner, Omari only has one other companion: his pet lamb. Omari is nervous to go to Rosas as it is the first time he travelled outside his kingdom. His name means "flourishing" in Swahili.

Layla: Layla is the royal lamb. She follows Omari around everywhere. She was named after her luscious black fur. When Layla gained the ability to speak she talks in a quiet, anxious voice. Her name means "night" in arabic.

Bahlwan: The main jester whose job is to entertain the royal court. He loves to play pranks his main targets mostly being Khadija and Sharun. His name means "clown" in Arabic.

Attire

Most people in the kingdom wear durable linen fabric that keeps them cool and protected from the sun and winds. The richer citizens and the royal family wear jewellery made of precious stones and metal. A lot of times you see jewellery made of wood, plants and seashells.

A popular style of dress are made of "mud cloth." Mud cloth are created using fermented mud and plant dyes, creating gorgeous colors and patterns. Other types of attire include kaftans, tunics, and imported fashions from other nations.

The royal family wear warm colors. King Jabbari and his son tend to wear orange and yellow. Khadija and her husband favor red and gold.

Music; Because it's not a Disney movie without awesome music

The music of Wish 2 is inspired by Arabic and subsaharan styles. I also took bits from gamer music (think Steven Universe & vaporwave), gospel. Really I wanted to have a variety of music primarily inspired and created by black people.

My search takes me to songs created by Mali artists: links to playlist

youtube

Another thing with the music i want there to be a blend of modern and traditional. Sweeping orchestral with whimsical gamer energy. Yeah.

Story: King Jabbari and his court visit Rosas a year or two after the events of the first movie. Jabbari's son, Prince Omari, meets Asha and at first they don't get along due to opposite interests and personalities.

However, Omari discovers his aunt and uncle is plotting to overthrow his father by stealing at the stars in the galaxy. He begs Asha for help. Together the two travel to different dimensions/planets aboard a magical flying contraption to try to stop the wicked couple from bringing about eternal darkness.

do not chastise the dove (6) ✧ steven grant, marc spector, jake lockley

do not chastise the dove ✧ a royal moon knight au | ao3 | pinterest board

pairing: knight!steven grant x fem!princess!reader x knight!marc spector x knight!jake lockley

series summary: you were a princess who would rather be anything but a royal; he was the knight her father forced her to marry—a true match made in hell if there ever was one. but, as the wedding inches closer and closer, it seems that, perhaps, your father had finally done something right by you.

chapter summary: feelings get weird when you’re in isolation.

word count: 3478

warnings?: 18+ MINONRS DNI, a little angsty, fluff, smut, unprotected sex, a little bit of fingering, a little cockwarming, pet name (dove), not proofread

You weren’t sure what was a worse fate—hiding in the safe house after Benjamin tried to have you killed or hiding in a hotel room with 24/7 security and next to no access to the outside world. A part of you, the naïve part perhaps, had thought you might be able to return to the palace after Benjamin’s plot was revealed. Why should he get to stay in your rightful home? His actions barred him from holding the throne ever again, regardless of if you were the true heir to the throne. The law was clear: If any member of the royal family attempted to kill, or succeeded in killing, an heir to the throne, then that member could never sit on the throne. While it was still contested that you were the heir, you were still an heir. Benjamin’s actions had consequences. He needed to pay for them.

Alas, Benjamin remained in the palace. Jessica’s investigation had revealed important information, but Parliament still needed to conduct its own investigation to verify her findings. Removing a king from the throne was a big deal unto itself. Add into the fact that the perceived-heir was not the actual-heir? That everything the country had been preparing for when the powers of the crown were passed down needed to change? Parliament couldn’t mess this up, they couldn’t get this wrong.

So, you held your tongue and waited in the hotel room, wasting your hours away by staring out the large windows that overlooked the capital. In the early days of your imprisonment as you so affectionally called it, you had watched the news. But now, you couldn’t stand hearing people call Charlotte a liar, call Marc a manipulator, call you an innocent victim of people who wanted to use you to gain wealth and power and connections. You were a victim, sure, but you were neither Marc’s nor Charlotte’s victim. Some people just weren’t willing to face that. You supposed some people never would. A consequence of the circumstances that would likely never be remedied.

It, perhaps, wouldn’t be so bad hiding away in the hotel room if you had company. But your fiancés were still in police custody—a precaution, just in case they did have something to do with it all. Layla was being questioned, too, and spent most of her days down at the police station being interrogated. After all, if this all was a lie, she should’ve been in a position to protect you from the manipulation. Or at least, that’s what people were arguing on the news. Jessica and Charlotte, and even Karen had to give their sides of the story. While you weren’t close to them, it nevertheless narrowed down your list of people to speak to even further.

You were at your wit’s end. You weren’t sure how much longer you could stand this isolation. You almost wondered if this was an elaborate scheme created by Benjamin, to drive you to insanity so that, even when it was proven that he had falsified Kieran’s birth certificate and later tried to have you killed, you would be deemed unfit to take the throne. You wouldn’t put it past him. If he was willing to kill you, making you seem legally insane wasn’t so out of the realm of possibility.

The only solace you had was flipping through wedding magazines. You hadn’t spoken about it with your fiancés, you weren’t entirely sure that they still wanted to be engaged to you after everything that’s happened, but…Well, it was nice to look at the pretty dresses. It was nice to imagine what flowers you would have in your bouquet, what decorations would adorn the walls. Would you go with a traditional wedding march or would you choose a classical rendition of a modern song? Would Layla be your maid of honor? You hoped she would. What would you do in lieu of a father-daughter dance? What you bypass that tradition entirely? You didn’t exactly have a father figure in your life. Would it be a stuffy ceremony and reception, or would you finally take a chance and make things personal to you?

You found yourself fiddling with your engagement ring every time you got too far into your thoughts. It was a rare comfort in the hotel room. Nearly everything there was property of the hotel. You only have a small fraction of your wardrobe, your phone, and your computer. And, of course, your ring. Everything else belonged to someone else. It reminded you too much of the palace—that someone else was in control, that someone else was positioning you to be a perfect little doll—even if that wasn’t the intent. But the ring was yours, and the ring was your mother’s.

What would she do, if she saw you? Would she hold you tight, smooth down your hair, and tell you you were the strongest woman she knew? Would she tell you stories about when you were younger and how she wondered what kind of woman you would become, and tell you that she was beyond proud of who you are? What would she think of your fiancés? She’d get along with Steven and Jake, you think. Marc, too, but she’d have to warm up to him. She used to tell you about how, if there was ever anything you should look for in a man, it was for him to be smart, and kind, and passionate. And you supposed you did—all wrapped in three wonderful men.

It was hard, not having her. You had gotten good at pushing down the pain of her not being here anymore. There was always an ache, but it was dull. You kept yourself distracted with your duties, trying to live up to Benjamin's expectations. If you kept yourself busy, you wouldn’t hurt. You thought if you tried to build a good relationship with the only parent you had left, that maybe things would be okay again. Maybe the pain would go away. It was funny, almost, how wrong you were.

Now the weight of it all was starting to crash down on you. You didn’t have a family anymore. You supposed you hadn’t really had one for a long time now, not since your mother died. But you had tried to delude yourself into thinking Benjamin and Kieran cared, that they just had a funny way of showing it. You were alone now. You wondered if you would always be alone.

Because, you wanted to believe that Marc, Jake, and Steven would still want to be with you. You thought about how Marc had kissed you, how they all took care of you in the hospital, how they risked it all so you could out Benjamin as the horrible man he truly was. A person doesn’t do that if they don’t care.

But, at the same time, a fear began to settle deep in your heart. They hadn’t asked for any of this. They probably never wanted to marry you in the first place. They were just as forced into this as you were. After all of this was said and done…If they wanted out, you wouldn’t blame them. Letting them go, though…That might just be too heartbreaking. You really, really, really didn’t want to think about that.

And yet, it was the thing that plagued your mind the most.

“And…this is allowed?” you asked, looking between the two lawyers standing before you. You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. It was what you had wanted, but…You didn’t think you would get to see them again so soon.

Foggy nodded. “The investigation has determined they’ve had no involvement in your poisoning. Parliament approved them coming to see you.”

“And…and it won’t mess things up when I have to go be questioned?” You couldn’t afford for this to be ruined. Even if you wanted to see them again…You would rather suffer than for there to be room to argue you were being manipulated.

“You don’t have to worry, Your Highness,” Matt said. “We’ve dotted our i’s and crossed our t’s. We wouldn’t do anything if we thought it would ruin the investigation.”

You nodded. “Okay. Are…are they here?”

“I’m here.”

All self-control exited the building when you heard his voice. You ran past Matt and Foggy, straight to him, throwing your arms around his neck, holding him so tight that he nearly stumbled over. He barked out a laugh, his arms snaking around your waist, catching himself before the two of you fell to the floor.

“I missed you, too, dove. I missed you too,” he said, pressing a kiss to the top of your head. “I’m here now. We’re together now.”

“Please don’t leave me again.”

And you meant it. You really meant it. It felt almost pathetic, how you had latched onto this relationship so quickly, how it started out as a way for your father to pin your death on an innocent. Did they think you were this pathetic?

“I won’t ever leave you again.”

And you hoped he meant it.

“Your questioning is at the end of the week,” Matt said. “We’ll call later to set up a meeting to prepare you for it.”

They then left, and you and your fiancés were all alone again. And nothing could have made you feel as ecstatic and melancholic at the same time.

“Can we lay down? I’m on the verge of collapse,” he joked. “I can’t remember the last time I got to lay down in a real bed.”

“Of course,” you said, unwinding yourself from him, taking his hand and leading him toward the bed.

He kicked off his shoes before climbing on the bed, tugging you with him. You laughed as you fell on top of him, letting him wind his arms around you, rolling over so the two of you were on your sides. Jake held your body close to his, an arm wrapped around you, a hand caressing your face, your legs all tangled up with his. He gave you a dopey smile as he looked at you, what you hoped to be pure adoration brimming in his eyes. His voice was husky as he said, “The others are lucky I share you with them. Though, I don’t plan on sharing any time soon. ”

“Oh? They’re lucky?”

Your heart stuttered in your chest. Perhaps he did truly care, perhaps he did want to stay. But what of Marc and Steven? What if they wanted to go? Would you have to lose all of them? And could you really be sure Jake wanted to stay? Was he just being kind? Was he just acting like this so he wouldn’t hurt you more than you’ve already been hurt? Did he feel like he had no way out?

“Mhm. If I wanted to, I could keep you all to myself, forever and ever.” His lips brushed against yours. You were conflicted—did you want to cut him off, kiss him til you both were breathless? Or did you want to hear him talk, let his voice be a comfort to you? “But you make Steven happy. And you make Marc really happy. Poor guy was giving us wrinkles from all of his brooding. But he smiles a lot around you.”

“That still gives you guys wrinkles,” you giggled, reaching up, rubbing your thumb over the crows feet crinkling around his eyes. You wanted to memorize their face. You wanted to commit every freckle, every wrinkle, every twitch of their lips, every crinkle of their brows, to memory. You wanted to be able to see them every time you closed your eyes. You wanted to be able to remember this. You wanted to remember this moment.

“Mm, but they’re better wrinkles,” Jake said, nuzzling his face into your hand. “Those wrinkles are a reminder of how much we care about you. Those wrinkles are welcomed.”

You bit down on your lip. You never imagined before that someone, anyone, would care about you as much as your fiancés did. Or at least how you imagined they did. You still couldn’t place how they truly felt, if they might have been pretending for your sake. You always imagined that you would be tolerated at best by whoever you married. Benjamin, you supposed, was to blame for that. He, and Kieran, had wrecked your self-confidence, made you feel little and small and completely worthless. But being with them…It made you feel special.

“Kiss me,” you whispered, “please.”

Jake’s mouth twitched up into a smile as he leaned in. His lips molded perfectly to yours. He kissed you like if he stopped, he would no longer breathe. He kissed you like you were giving him life. And you found yourself pressing your body impossibly closer to him, clinging to him like he would disappear if you ever let go. You reached up, your hand gripping his hair, relishing in the moan he let out.

“Fuck, dove, you’re gonna be the death of me,” he groaned, his fingers digging into your flesh as he held onto you.

“I need more,” you whispered against his lips. “Please, I need all of you.”

He pulled away, his eyes wide. For a second, you were worried if you had gone too far. If this was the thing that was going to send him running. But as you looked at his blown out pupils, listening to his labored breath, you hoped you were wrong.

“I don’t have a condom, dove—”

“I don’t care,” you said. “I just want you, please. I want you inside me. I need to feel good.”

Jake moved faster than you could’ve expected. His clothes were removed in a flash, revealing a toned body. If you were honest, you had imagined what he looked like before. You imagined the thick muscles he hid beneath the suits he was forced to wear at formal events, beneath the hoodie and jeans he wore at the safe house. You imagined each ridge and dip, thought of what it would be like to trace his body, to pepper every inch of him in kisses. But nothing could have ever prepared for just how beautiful he looked. You were no stranger to this kind of pleasure, but god, you had never seen anyone who looked quite as angelic as your fiancés.

But when he finally tugged off his boxers? His hardened cock, already leaking with precum, springing free? The sight of him made your fucking mouth water. You couldn’t stop yourself from reaching out, from touching him. He was so thick, your fingers couldn’t touch when you wrapped your hand around him.

Jake let out a hiss as you stroked him, grabbing your wrist and stopping you. “Shit, dove, you’re gonna make me cum on the spot.”

“Good,” you whispered, leaning in to kiss him.

“No, no, we’re focusing on you, okay? All about you,” he said, pulling off the sundress you wore followed by your bra and panties, leaving you bare beside him.

Part of your heart ached. The irrational part of your brain made you wonder if he didn’t want you to pleasure him because he wasn’t attracted to you, because he didn’t want you like that. That he would do what he could to take your mind off of things, but that he didn’t and wouldn’t derive any pleasure from it. That he was only hard because he wanted to have sex, that he would only cum because of the stimulation. That it had nothing to do with you. That it had everything to do with biological responses to stimuli.

The other part of your heart soared. You’d had sex before, but it was never anything great. You’d been with men who only cared about getting themselves off, where you were only a vessel for that pleasure to be achieved. You always had to pretend you came, always had to finish yourself off later. No one you had ever been with cared about your pleasure, about making sure you had a good time. And you didn’t doubt that Jake would make sure every moment was enjoyable.

His hand dipped down between your legs, swirling over your clit, pressing into your slick cunt, making sure you were completely ready for him. One finger pushed past, then another, slowly curling in and out. Jake leaned in, his lips ghosting over yours. “I only care about making you feel good, dove. That’s all that matters.”

“Fuck me, please,” you said.

Jake pulled his hand from between your legs. You let out a whimper at the loss of contact. But you didn’t have much time to whine, as he rolled you onto your back, his body hovering over yours. Still, he was moving to slow for you. You reached between your bodies, taking his cock, guiding him into you.

“Fuck,” Jake groaned, slowly thrusting into you. “You feel so fuckin’ good, dove.”

He kept a slow pace, letting you feel every inch of him as he fucked you. His head dipped down, pressing sloppy kisses up and down the valley of your breasts, nipping at the soft flesh of your breast. You hooked yours legs over his hips, arms wrapping around him, holding him close to you. You didn’t know how long this would last—this moment or him being with you. You wanted to cherish every second while you still could.

A tension started to build, a cord deep in the pit of your belly began to tighten with every thrust. He one particular spot, and you found your nails digging into his skin. You felt his smirk against your skin as he kissed you, making sure to hit that spot again and again and again with near deadly precision. Fuck, it was almost unfair how good this felt.

How long would this last, you wondered? How long would Jake, and Marc, and Steven stick around? Would this be the only time you got to feel like this? Would you get to do this more, get to experience it with Steven and Marc next? Or was this just a one-time thing, something to remember them by? If the investigation had already revealed they had no involvement…What reason did they have to stay? With all the outrage, with all insanity happening, it would be the perfect opportunity to leave. And they certainly had every reason, every right, to do so. But god you wanted to be selfish, wanted to make them stay.

You choked out a sob, a hand flying up to cover your mouth. Jake hesitated, slowing his thrusts, lifting his head. You felt his question of concern on the tip of his tongue. Quickly, you said, your words slightly slurred, “Feels so good. Don’t stop, please.”

“Whatever you want, dove,” he whispered, “it’s yours.”

Then don’t ever leave me, you wanted to say. But that was too unfair to him, and to Marc and Steven. Instead, you said, “I’m so close.”

His thrusts picked up again, hitting that tender spot again and again. Stars began to dot in the corners of your eyes, the cord in your belly tightening and tightening until—it snapped. You cried out as the tidal wave of pleasure consumed you, your eyes squeezing shut, your legs tightening around Jake’s waist, holding him close to you. He came soon after, filling you with his spend, his breaths labored as he came down from his own high.

“Was that good?” he asked, pressing his forehead against yours.

“Perfect. It was perfect,” you said, reaching up, pushing his messy curls out of his face. “Thank you.”

He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “You’re so adorable, dove. C’mon, lemme clean you up.”

But you grabbed his arm as he started to get up, started to pull out of you. “Can we…Can we just stay like this please? I wanna enjoy this a lil while longer.”

He nodded, but adjusted the two of you so you were lying on your sides, your limbs entangled together, his cock still buried inside you. He still wore a dopey smile as he looked at you, caressing your face in one of his large hands. “I’m just gonna rest my eyes for a minute, okay, dove?” he said.

You nodded, watching as Jake’s eyes fluttered shut, as he nestled into the pillows. You reached down, grabbing at the blanket, pulling it up and over your bodies. He snuggled into it, into you, keeping his arm wound around you, not letting you go.

“I don’t want to lose you,” you whispered, sure that he couldn’t hear you as a quiet snore escaped him.. “Of all the heartache I’ve ever had…That would be the worst, I think.”

Fanfic's snippet - How Hans became a pirate

Hans is telling the story of what the hell is he doing here to Anna and Elsa after three years of the events portrayed and from his own perspective, mind you.

Just like he expected - when he got back home, there were hard days waiting for him. Weeks. Months.

When he got pulled out of a jail-boat, he was in all seriousness expecting to be executed. Especially since he didn’t exactly initiate his father into his original, brilliant plan beforehand, so whatever he did in Arendelle, he did it on his own account. Well, to be honest, even if he would have done so, his father would probably deny everything anyway.

It wouldn’t be correct to call what happened next a trial. Guards took him to the king, the king read Anna’s letter and he got so mad that Hans could almost sense a blade on his neck. In the end, a whole family was called into a throne room and the judgement was passed. Nobody tried to defend him, including himself, because he knew that whatever he would try to say for himself, it would only make things worse. Anyway, he was oficially stripped off all his titles, a chance for a throne even if all of his relatives would die of plague, his possesions and all his privileges. He could still live on the castle’s property, as his father mercifully allowed, but as a servant. More specifically – a stable boy. Hans knew he should be happy that it was the end of it, but he saw his brothers’ faces, immediately knew what exactly was waiting for him and thought something along the line of „a death wouldn’t be the worst option, actually”.

But what was the worst, was his mother’s face. And the fact that she, as always, said nothing.

Hans liked horses, but his brothers… well, he didn’t want to go into details, because he really didn’t want to remember all this.

„This” lasted three long, excruciatingly painful years. The king’s wrath didn’t pass, no one seemed to be advocating for him, every message from across the sea was as meaningless as any other. There was no chance to escape, because even the most unwanted princess from the smallest and most insignificant of kingdoms wouldn’t want him as a husband. And no one was going to let him go to the hermitage of Islanders’ Brotherhood, which started to seem like a really nice place to be. He also didn’t manage to gain the other’s servants friendship – everyone was treating him as he was a carrier of some highly contagious disease. Maybe because everywhere he went, there was a probability that one or more of his brothers will follow to make fun and/or a punching bag of him. And it seemed like it will be like that till the end of his miserable days.

One night, he went to sleep. Not in his own chambers, obviously. They gave him some sort of a closet next to the stables. In theory, it wasn’t a cell. In reality – of course it was. Especially since he wasn’t allowed to leave it on his own.

Anyway – he was woken up by a cannonball which went straight through the wall and almost decapitated him.

When the dust settled, he saw Layla for the first time. She entered through the hole, her saber in one hand and a colt in the other, her hat crooked. She looked like someone fully ready and happy to throw hands.

„You” she said, when she finally noticed him in all this mess. „Where is a treasury?”.

Hans had no idea how to react in a situation like this.

„How… how did you manage to break it?” he finally asked, being stunned. Not to mention – almost deaf. These walls were his father’s – and the whole Isles – pride and joy, built of the finest, famous black stone. Nothing should be able to…

„See how nice our cannons are?” she asked, coming closer and putting a tip of her blade under his chin. „And if you don’t want us to load the next one with you, tell me where a treasury is”.

„And why do you think I know…?”

„Oh please, that nice little pyjamas that you have is most definitely not jail’s clothes.” She rolled her eyes. „And also, we know bloody well that it is not a prison, because it is in the entirely different direction. So?”

Hans looked at her saber. Then at her. In her… eyes. Then at the hole in the wall. At the other one, mirroring it, in the place where used to be a heavy, iron door with five locks and a chain. He could hear someone screaming nearby. When he squinted and looked through a gap again, he saw a ship on a sea, suprisingly near. The darkness of a night was being chased away by raging fires. He could see a flag. A black flag.

„Are you a pirate?” he asked, just to be sure.

„Oh, you are so smart!” she smiled ironically. „That’s why they keep you here?”.

„I have an offer”. He evened his breath; the saber’s blade was still near his throat. „Let’s parley”.

For a moment she was looking at him like he was speaking gibberish. And then she started to laugh and laugh madly.

„You, sunshine, read too many books”. She scoffed. „It doesn’t work like that, you can’t just say „Parley!” and expect to be protected from all the evil!”.

„I imagine, but I have an offer which you may want to hear”.

„Sweetie, I didn’t come here for a tea party, make it quick or I will gut you”.

„You can gut me” he said, all calm now, slowly getting up from what used to be his bedding; he has made the decision already, now all he needed to do is to execute it. „or I can lead you to the treasury and even more, I can open it. Because I know where my father keeps his keys”.

She blinked. He managed to suprise her, it was a big step ahead.

„Father?”

„I am Hans Westergaard, not so long ago one of the princes of the Southern Isles” he introduced himself; he didn’t bow his head, because the blade under his chin was still making it impossible. „And I will gladly help you, under one condition”.

She glared at him, visibly annoyed.

„You are not exactly in a position to make any conditions”.

„As we have just established, I am. Unless you prefer to toil with this treasury on your own. And I have to warn you, it has a really great lock and a really solid door.

„You know what, I just gonna cut you a little”.

„Wait!” he put his hands up defensively. „It is a good deal. You can cut me, I don't have anything against it. If you still haven’t noticed, I am not exactly in the best place right now and I don’t see any changes in a foreseeable future. But we can go, I will open that door wide and you will take as much gold as you want.

She sighed.

„And the condition?”.

He went all serious.

„You will take me with you on your ship”.
