fanfic writer emoji ask: ✍ 🎢 👀
✍ Do you have a beta reader?
For a while, I did, and they were and are great (we have not had a falling out! We are still friends!), but real life kind of got in the way for both of us, and that's fine. Sometimes, I do miss having someone look over my stuff so that I know I don't sound insane, but it's fine.
🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?
I feel like "wildest ride" could mean so many different things. Like, content wise, just on the basis of it existing? ABSOLUTELY A Soft October Night, mainly because I don't think I'd ever gone as far as "Incest Murder Threesome" before. (I will make no promises that I won't do so AGAIN, but it definitely is a shocker from the usual.)
Though this is ALSO from the same creative team that brought you "Romeo has sex with the personification of Death on a crucifix" and "Ronan and Lazare have sex on a printing press" (which seems MUCH tamer compared to the other two), so, really, you can pick your poison.
As far as plot? Either The Midnight Mass or Pour la Peine, depending on if you think "Ronan discovers his old friends are zombies that want to kill him" or "The Thing that happens in Pour la Peine that changes the whole plot" is more shocking. (Personally, I am still REALLY proud of that twist in PLP, since I'd sat on that for years.)
If you're talking about in a crackficky sense? ...I mean. Goosefic. Goosefic. The fic that solidified my reputation in the 1789 fandom. If I say so myself, every single fic I've listed before that has some larger motivation for why it's Like That. Goosefic was just me reading a writing prompt and thinking "I want Lazare to get chased by a pissed off goose." And it is beautiful.
👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!
I don't think it's a SECRET I'm working on writing out my playthrough of BG3, or at least. Key parts of it. (I am NOT. Novelizing. An 125 hour playthrough. Yet.) I have about 11k words into it at the moment, but I'm not publishing a word of it until it's in a place where I know I can very likely finish it, or at least make a dent. We are NOT doing that thing where I just publish one chapter, hit a major bout of writer's block, and can't go through with it. (I can't make any promises for AFTER one chapter.)
Tumblr media
It deals, primarily, with Kitrye's Happy Fun Times in the game, her ongoing verbal game of cat and mouse with Raphael, her relationship with her sister, and her relationship with her culture, as well as her overall development during the course of the game. (I don't really consider it a spoiler, given I put it in an actual gifset, that Kitrye breaks her oath as a paladin at one point -- there is a LOT dedicated to the circumstances around that and how it changes the game, even though that's a late development.) A spoiler that literally only you and a couple of people will understand and so I can give without any worry is:
Tumblr media
"Ich will dich nicht, ich brauch' dich nicht. GEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
(Honestly, thus far, it's looking like how I'm writing out every act is taking inspiration from something else. Like, if Pour la Peine and its related stories drew a lot of inspiration from the Evilious Chronicles, I would say that the third act in particular is very, very Elisabeth tinted if you know where to look; second act is looking to have at least one scene inspired by a very memorable moment from one of the branches of the Mabinogi; and the first act, which is still the roughest, is a little bit more up in the air, with all of them borrowing at least a LITTLE bit from The Last Trial.)
Of course. It would be much easier to work on it. IF I HAD MY GAMING PC THAT COULD RUN THE GAME SO I COULD DOUBLE CHECK MY FILES. MY CUSTOM MADE GAMING PC THAT I CHOSE EVERY SINGLE PART FOR SO THAT IT COULD BE A MONSTER AT RUNNING GAMES.
(I'm cool, I'm chill, I'm fine.)
Tumblr media
Anyway, have the Symryvvin girls, out of context. (Malla 🤝 Raphael: Being in an eternal state of Done.)

My first ever Cillian Murphy fanfic
No warnings: just a shy and loving Cillian
Summary: you are Patrick Cillian’s friends sister and one night whilst out having a few drinks Cillian asks if it’s okay to date you his sister.
@look-at-the-soul @gypsy-girl-08 @queenshelby@runnning-outof-time @elenavampire21 @ohmysatansstuff
Whole hearted meeting Cillian Murphy
Cillian had just finished another session of his radio show and got a text from Patrick.
*hey mate know you where busy doing your show thought you’d like a couple pints. Cillian texted back saying he’d be 15-20 minutes he showered changed and fed his dog scout.
He decided to walk as it was a nice peaceful night he friendly nods his head to others who are out for a walk. Once he arrives at the fully packed pub he texted his friend to let him know.
You stood out side the pub waiting for your friends and blow air into your hands.
Cillian turns and smiles “cold night isn’t it you can go in front of me I’ve just texted my mate to come find me.”
You smile. “oh are you sure wait your not thee Cillian Murphy are you, guess you probably don’t recognise me I’m y/n Patrick’s sister.”
Cillian looked shocked at how beautiful you were and how much you’ve changed since being kids.
“Sorry y/n I didn’t recognise you wow you’ve changed so much, what have you been up to lately.” Patrick managed to weave through the crowd “ahh cill seems like you’ve bumped into my annoying sister.
You smack Patrick “oi I’m not the annoying one, well are you gonna help us get to the table because it’s freezing.”
As they all squeeze through the crowd and meet Patrick’s wife Ella.
You immediately sit next to Ella and start having a conversation.
Cillian and Patrick managed to order a Guinness and wine both head back to the table. Cillian hands you a glass of wine.
After you’ve finished your conversation with Ella you face Cillian and Patrick.
“So Cillian I’ve just heard your latest show that was some amazing music tonight.”
He takes a sip and smiles “thanks I’m enjoying making them means I can still give my fans something to listen to whenever, so y/n what have you been up to didn’t get to answer because Patrick found us.”
“Oh I’ve been out running and ticking off books on my reading list.” Cillian smiles “oh I’ll have to give you a list of some of my favourite books.”
You go back to have a conversation with Ella.
Cillian thinks for a moment and turns to Patrick “mate do you think y/n will be interested in going out to dinner one night.
Patrick smiles “mate listen if you like my sister go for it but if I find out you’ve cheated or broke her heart then this could seriously have a problem with our friendship just promise never hurt my sisters feelings”
Cillian thought about how dearly Patrick cared about his sister even though she was a fully grown woman he still deep down was the protective brother.
As you got up to say this round was on you Cillian also got up to help carry the drinks back.
You’d both managed to weave through and arrive at the bar just waiting as the bartenders were supper busy you turned to Cillian and smiled still waiting to grab one of their attention.
Cillian took a deep breath in and leaned closer so you could hear him over the chatter and loud music.
“Y/n I hope you don’t find this weird you know me being friends with your brother but I was wondering would you like to go out for a date because even since I’ve been friends with your brother.”
“I didn’t realise how much my feelings for you have slowly grown over these years and seeing you tonight has made me not wanna lose you and I promise never to cheat or break mine and your brothers friendship he’s still the protective brother.”
You’ve got a massive grin and also
Lean in “Cillian it’s not weird you’re my brother’s friend but we’ve known each other since we were young.
“I have also realised just how much my feelings for you have also grown your good person Cillian and I’d know you’d never cheat or break the relationship between us and my brother.”
“plus it’s annoying by loving him still seeing me as his little sister even though I’m a grown woman and to be totally honest I’d hate to lose you to anyone because I’ve known you for a very long time and I’ve never said this even though we’ve been to family gatherings but Cillian Murphy I love you.”
One of the bartenders eventually get to you and Cillian “hey I’m so so sorry for the wait what can I get you two.” You smile “I’ll have a 2 red wine’s and 2 Guinesse’s and I’m paying.”
Cillian shook his head “no put your money away it’s my round, you got the last one.”
You glare at Cillian “Oi please don’t make a scene I’m paying and that’s final.”
The young bartender smiles at you and Cillian’s little argument.
Cillian handed the bartender his card and payed for the round.
“Excuse me Cillian that was not fair I said it’s on me.”
He smirks “No girlfriend of mine is paying for these drinks and as from before i love you too.”
You were already thinking of a witty come back “no I said it was fine and wh.. what excuse me did I hear you right girlfriend Your joking right.”
Cillian laughed “y/n I’m not joking I really want you to be my girlfriend as I truly love you and I promise never to hurt you.”
You look at Cillian a little shocked “I..I love you too and I want you to be my boyfriend in a not joking way too.”
You both make your way back to the table.
Patrick then eyes Cillian carrying a tray with drinks and also has a huge grin.
He faces you then looks at Cillian “hold up let me guess you two idiots have finally admitted you love each other.”
You smile and pat the space next to you where Cillian sits down after handling everyone their drinks.
Both of you smile and kiss each other.
“Cillian asked me to be his girlfriend I thought he was joking at first but he was being serious.”

Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi part I
Ok let’s go
Yeah, let’s put in a recap just in case the Prequel Trilogy doesn’t haunt you
“Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi,”
featured in “the top ten sentences that break my heart”
So Hayden being hyped for this was just preparing me for how this is All About Anakin Again
God they were both so hot in RotS
Pun non intended for once
HAAAAA LETS GO
show Order 66 as many time as possible challenge
Yeah those kids are dead
Bye kids
SAND TITLE CARD you’re so sexy
Wait i have a great idea: every opening should be another Order 66 scene i want to see all over that Temple as it falls down
SPACE SHIP SHADOW my beloved
Idk why space ships, especially big ones, make me incredibly excited and a not insignificant part of why I’m a fan of this franchise comes from the fuck you big ships it has. Yes i did like the Last Jedi a lot. ‘cause it had the biggest ship.
Inquisitor Squad! I spent like 2 hours earning them all in GoH a couple weeks ago now I’m gonna see if their attacks are accurate lmao
Another reason why I’m a fan of star wars is that the villains know how to dress
Yeah my dudes, you get why the dark side is fun
“You know who we are.”
“Yeah bro, you’re all dressed like an evil elite force and not the ones wearing red.”
Hehehehe evil monologue let’s go
LOL
THIS FIXATION WITH KENOBI WELCOME TO THE CLUB THIRD SISTER
What is that.
I don’t wanna say Krayt because i don’t know much about them besides that they’re dragons on tatooine and at least some of them are black but Krayt? 👀 (please it’s important to me because of themes)
ARE THEY PROCESSING IT
That meat looks good tho
HE’S HERE
HELLO THERE
OH I MISSED YOU SO
you look good with a knife ngl
scratch that he just looks good in general oh my god i need to find a pirate version of this i want to take all the screenshots
The Obi-Wan Show Episode1: Obi-Wan starts an union
Meat Wars reborn but this time it’s Meat Workers War
No i not will elaborate, know your crack
He’s so beautiful i missed him so much i wanna die
@forcearama i know your pain
SAD MAN IN A CAVE TIME
SMELLY MAN IN A CAVE 😂
Jawas are the best actually. Love how they talk.
They sound like sped up anime characters
“I’ve heard the Jedi are all but extinct.
Courtesy of my best friend.”
Anakin is so bad for business.
Welcome to the stinky wizard club Obes.
He’s still dreaming about him 10 years later no one touches me.
*makes miserable noise at Anakin laughing in the speeder and then the i hate you*
LISTEN
I KNOW ALL THAT ALREADY
WHY IS IT HITTING ME SO HARD
Part of me is like “answer the phone Qui-Gon” the other is like “no that’s good i don’t want to see him anyway and also Obi-Wan needs to be alone and miserable because i love angst”.
Baby Luke!
Oh that’s hitting him hard
*claps gleefully* yes more pain
It’s like he’s paying for child maintenance after his divorce
Oooooh he called him master of course he knew him everyone knew him
“You were once a great Jedi”
Yeah 😭
Is that Alderaan?
Yes!
Tiny Leia!
“Try to not make anyone cry”
lmao that’s daddy Vader’s girl
And that is Anakin and Padmé’s girl <3
Do they have binary classes or did she just learn to interpret by having a droid around from a young age
I’ve got to read up on that it’s important for fanfic reasons
Leia and Lola
Don’t give promises you can’t keep babygirl
You know when we used to talk about a Kenobi movie all i wanted from it was seeing Obi-Wan be sad in the desert and today I’m being finally fed.
Owen vs Ben
“Like you trained his father? Anakin is dead, Ben. I won’t let you make the same mistake twice.”
Might as well stab him in the heart it would hurt less.
Cut off hand count: 1
Is Reva’s Force sense tingling?
Hate to break it to you Reva but Owen’s not dying for nine more years.
Today in Everyone Hates Tatooine
Today in Everyone Wants Obi-Wan
What did he do to her lol
“What I’m owed.”
Like what? Revenge? (Cause her name is Reva) Loads of credits? A promotion? Darth Vader’s attention?
“I didn’t do it for you.”
I knew you would say that you dumb fucking farmer (affectionate) guess what he was probably not saying thank you for himself either
“I didn’t come here to end slavery”,
said most people in Star Wars.
“Then i guess i don’t need manners when I’m talking to you” nice burn.
“You’re not even a real Organa” nah she’s a Skywalker, which is worse
She’s reading your mind cuz
“You have to rise above Leia”
wait til the third trilogy she’ll rise alright
She’s so dramatic i love her
I wonder if her cousin gets blown up with the planet
See, promises she can’t keep
“I know who she’s like”
me too
Bounty hunters?
Who you gonna call?
He’s our only hoe after all 😌
“I’m not who i used to be”
why, because you lost your sparring partner?
Great now i have to go and look up the travel time between Alderaan and Tatooine to know how long it takes for Bail to arrive
Yeah it’s something like 4 days give or take
“You couldn’t save Anakin”
here’s your daily reminder
“There is no one i trust more with my child than you”
hey that’s a sentence I’m sensitive about
Funny how it doesn’t hit the same at all tho 🙃
Ewan has really pretty eyes
A whole army no but I’ll do you one better
Is he
IS HE
digging for his lightsaber?
Did he find it by pinging the kyber?
Oh man i keep pausing on shots of Ewan looking hot that’s not good for my psyche
I’m going to have so much fun drawing him in something else than beige.
I mean come on he has LEATHER GLOVES i love drawing that shit
Ah shit no he was digging for his Jedi robes i hate this show
Bro do you actually wanna get arrested
They really do be hunting themselves

Mackenzie Confides in Moira.
Mackron fanfic.
"Aaron I need to tell Moira about me killing our dad" said Mack.
"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Aaron who was concerned about Mackenzie feeling so guilty.
"I need to Aaron" said Mack "She's the only one who will understand why"
"You were pushed to breaking point Mack" said Aaron "Is there any point in raking it all up?"
"I promise after I tell her I'll never mention it again" said Mack.
"OK I know you won't rest until you tell her" said Aaron. "Do you want me to come with you?"
"Only if you want to" replied Mack.
"I know you'll get in a state so I'd better come" said Aaron "I'll drive"
Mack and Aaron arrived at Butlers to find Moira cleaning the tractor.
"You should have rang" said Mack "I could have done that for you"
"What brings you here?" Moira asked.
"I've got something to tell you but you need to be on your own" Mack explained.
"That's fine. Cain's taken the boys to the cattle market" said Moira "Come in and I'll put the kettle on"
Mack and Aaron followed Moira into the farm house.
"Right. What's so important?" Asked Moira handing two mugs of tea to Aaron and Mack. "You're shaking Mack. Sit down or you'll scald yourself with that mug of tea"
"Me and Aaron are getting married again" said Mack taking a gulp of tea.
"Congratulations. But why have I got the feeling that's not what you came here to tell me" said Moira looking at Aaron who was shaking his head.
"Tell her Mack" said Aaron taking hold of Macks hand.
"I killed dad" Mack blurted out.
"What?" said a shocked Moira "He fell over a cliff while out of his skull on whiskt" said Moira "I read it on line as I read the local Scottish papers every week"
"I threw him over" said Mack who was trying not to break down.
"Why now Mack?" said Moira "Why come out with it now?"
"I thought I'd buried it. I struggled with it for years but as time went on I did manage to put it to the bsck of my mind. It all came back to haunt me when I found out Catherine was our sister" Mack explained.
"You can't tell her Mack" said Moira. "In fact you can't tell anyone else. You can't let those beautiful kids of yours would grow up without a father"
"He knows that Moira" said Aaron.
"Come here" said Moira going over to give her brother a hug. "You did yourself a favour Mack. He was evil. I was horrified when you told me he'd broken your leg after I left"
"This stays between us three. If you need to get more of your chest I'll always be here for you" said Moira just as Cain and the boys came home.
"Have you been crying uncle Mack?" said Kyle.
"Tears of joy" said Moira "These two love birds are getting married again"
"Wow. That's great" said Isaac.
"You need your head testing taking on soft lad on again" said Cain.
"I need you for my best man Cain" said Aaron "How about it?"
"That will be a yes from me then" said Cain.
"Yipee" shouted Kyle. "Can I be your best man Uncle Mack?"
"You certainly can" said Mack ruffling Kyle's hair. "And you young man can be our page boy" he said to Isaac.
"Yes" shouted Isaac punching the air.
"We'd best get back" said Aaron "Brenda is looking after Isla"
"Congratulations again you two" said Moira as Aaron and Mack left.

so for y’all on ao3, i’ve been getting some people asking about my megalomaniac series! asking about if i will do journeys soon, so i just wanted to say:
with the fic i posted this morning, i have finished my alola arc for the series and i will now move on to journeys! i’m planning on doing a bigger, multi chapter fic, and i haven’t even watched the show yet, so it might take a little while, but that is coming next in the series!!
i did just get super inspired to do some more alola stuff!! but outside of the series. so i’m going to work on that first, but i’m probably going to get it done relatively fast considering i’m feeling so inspired. so just wanted to say that! yes!! journeys is next!! but it is not coming immediately. this is vague terms, but i should be starting it this summer!

A Thousand More...
Tumblr media
Masterlist
a.n.: I WROTE ANOTHER FANFIC!! and yes it's about Druig because I'm a whore for him, but my next one however will be about Mr. James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, but for now enjoy another fanfic I wrote based on the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri
Druig (what's new 💀) x fem!reader
warnings: suggestive dialogue but mostly fluff and sort of proof read (heavy on the sort of)
word count: 2,045
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
We were sent here for a purpose. Destroy the Deviants and keep the humans safe. That’s all we were here for, right? Then why do am I almost getting myself killed while trying to make sure the man I’m in love with doesn’t die? Druig can take care of himself.
I don’t know how it started, but I know when. We were summoned on The Domo for the first time. I saw Phastos first. My first instinct was that I could trust him. I knew we’d be best friends and I was right. Sprite, feisty little one. Kingo, a bit of an ego, but a nice spirit, nonetheless. Ikaris, bold. Someone I felt that I would challenge one day. He also has older brother energy. Makkari, the kindest soul here. So pure and so full of love. Another close friend I sensed I would have. Sersi, full of compassion. We’d probably bump heads, but as someone I sensed would be like a sister figure, I didn’t doubt that we’d bump heads. Thena, another sister. I felt like I would need to protect her though. She’s bold like Ikaris, but with less of a god complex. Much humbler. Gilgamesh, more dad energy, but like a cool dad. Ajak, mother energy. I felt safe when I looked into her eyes. Lastly, I saw my love, Druig. I had never seen someone so beautiful. My heart felt like it was about to beat out of my chest. Everything just seemed so much brighter. The minute I saw him I knew my heart had made a promise to belong to only him.
How to be brave?
How can I love when I’m
Afraid to fall?
5000 BC Mesopotamia
“How is my favorite mind controller today,” I asked in a teasing tone to Druig. This is my most favorite part of the day. Teasing him when he’s minding his own business. I can tell he enjoys my company though. I see it in his eyes. Not the shimmering gold but the bright blue irises that I’ve fallen even more in love with.
“Better,” he said with a smile. “How’s my favorite flying fire starter today,” he asked with an equally teasing tone.
I started ranting about how Makkari stole my book and then ran off somewhere, “and of course, I can’t just chase after her for obvious reasons. Like I was just minding my business. Why-,” I continued on with my rant as he stared at me with such a loving look in his eye. I know that look because I have the same one when I look at him when he’s talking, fighting, breathing. I hope he never stops looking at me like that. I just wish I could allow myself to truly fall for him. Why am I so afraid?
But watching you stand
Alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away
Somehow
Druig stood before us with tears in his eyes as the carnage happened below us. He was actually going to leave us. Seeing him stand up there with tears in his eyes looking so broken pushed away any doubt I had of not loving him. I didn’t get to ponder on the feeling too long due to hearing Druig say, “If you wanna stop me, you’re gonna have to kill me,” and then he turned around and just left. Didn’t even look my way. It’s times like this where I wish I could feel nothing because then I wouldn’t feel my heart breaking. After Ajak told us we could go our separate ways I took one last look around and flew away. From that moment on I learned to keep to myself. I never stayed in one place long enough and I made sure to keep myself hidden from the other Eternals, so I’d never be found.
1130 AD Iceland
Life in Iceland isn’t that much different than in Babylon. Different culture, but the people are nice. Whenever we’re not working, Sigrún, my best friend, and I go to see the Northern Lights. Sometimes when I’m looking up at the sky, I wish that Druig was here with me... It doesn’t do well to dwell on dreams.
“Y/N,” Sigrún shouted, “you were daydreaming again. Come on, who is it? You’ve been so quiet lately and whenever you finally talk it’s like you’re here but you’re not here.”Guess I wasn’t hiding it as well as I thought.
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” I teased.
“Uh, obviously. That was my whole point in asking.” She’s my best friend, yes, but I left that part of me behind. In order to leave it in the past, I cannot talk about it. “Well, if you must know, it's nobody. You know I just get in my thoughts sometimes.” Hopefully that will hold her off until I can come up with a better lie.
“Are you sure it’s not,” and then her eyes turned into that shimmering gold I wished to never see again.
“Druig?”
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Druig’s POV:
I found her. I finally found her. God, she looks amazing even over 6000 years later. I come from behind a tree and face her. The only person who can render me speechless. Also, the only person who I’d rather die than see in pain, and when I look into her eyes all I see is pain. “What are you doing here? How did you find me?” These are the first words she says to me. She used to look at me like I put the stars in the sky and now she looks at me like I’m the scum of the Earth. I really messed up.
“I’d follow you to the ends of the Earth milady.” Nothing. She didn’t even blink.
“Why now? You had absolutely no problem not following me in Mesopotamia.” A fact that has haunted me since the day I left.
“You left me. You didn’t even look my way. You said what you said to Ajak and left. Is that something someone who would follow someone else to the end of the world would do,” she asks, “Did I not matter enough to you? I thought you loved me Druig. You talked about following Arishem blindly yet here I am the fool who followed you blindly just to be left in the dust. If you’re here to beg for forgiveness then forget it. I forgave you a long time ago. You did what you felt was best for you and now I must do what I feel is best for me.”
And then she flew away. In the blink of an eye, she was gone. I wish I could stop the tears from falling from my eyes, but in truth, I don’t want to. I deserved to feel this guilt. I put her through so much pain and might not ever get to make up for it, but I will spend eternity trying. If there’s one thing she said that was truly right was that I loved her and I still do.
1492 AD Guanahani
It’s so beautiful here. I never realized how much I loved islands until now. The people are so nice even though I’m not like them. In exchange for me lighting their fires, they let make food for me as well as their families. I also may or may not have gotten rid of this weird European man named Christopher away. Like death away because he was giving me weird vibes. I know I’m not supposed to be interfering with human matters, but since when do I listen to Arishem anyway? Anyway, I can’t help but still feel lonely. I have grown to love these people as I did in Iceland, but I miss my fellow Eternals. I miss Thena, and Sersi, and Phastos, and Gilgamesh. I lost contact with them years ago. Running away from Druig also meant running away from my other family. It hurts but seeing him hurts more. I’m planning to leave again. I’ve been here a tad bit too long. Might check out what’s going on in Italy.
1503 AD Italy
The Italian Renaissance. One of my favorite things these humans have created. Leo released the Mona Lisa to the public today. Probably one of my favorite paintings he’s made. No one knows this, but I made a bet with him that he couldn’t make a painting without having inspiration from someone or something. He obviously proved me wrong. She’s absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of Sigrún. Speaking of, I believe I saw a glimpse of Druig the other day. It might’ve been my mind playing tricks on me. Is it bad that I wish it wasn’t? It’s been 6500 years. I stopped hating him so long ago, but I’ve just been too stubborn to admit it.
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died every day waiting
for you
Druig’s POV:
I think I almost got caught the other day. Yes, I’m watching over her don’t judge. I still watch over the Peruvians; I just also watch over her. I’m still waiting for the right time to talk to her again. I figured giving her another 6000 years would give her enough space before I tried. She’s in the courtyard today. Her skin practically glows against the cobalt fabric she’s wearing. I notice her turning too late though. She stares back at me, and I feel like I’m in a trance. I can’t move.
“I see you’ve found me again,” she says nonchalantly.
“I have. I told you I’d follow you until the ends of the Earth.” She doesn’t say anything. She just looks at me. I can’t quite place the look in her eyes and then, she kisses me. It’s not rushed and uncoordinated. Its slow and sensual. Like this is something we do every day.
“It’s been 6,128 years. 6,128 years of me trying to convince myself that the day you left is the day I stopped loving you. I can’t do it anymore. I can’t. I don’t want to.”
And all along I believed I
Would find you
Time has brought your heart
To me
Peru 1945
“My love, did you get the wood?” I hear Druig ask me.
“Yeah, it was by the tree in the middle, but Dario came and got it.” It’s been like this for the last 400 years. Not that I’m complaining. As much as I loved traveling, this is truly where my heart lies. Maybe not in the amazon, but wherever Druig is; you will find me.
“You know maybe my super cute and super strong boyfriend would like to get the wood for once.”
“I’ve already got wood for you, beautiful.”
“You’re disgusting and 100% the reason no one is about to see us for the next few hours.” He gives me a knowing smile and leads me to our little cabin.
Once we get in there though, the energy shifts. After a few minutes, he starts to speak. “I have something I need to ask you”
“What is it? You know you can talk to me about anything.”
Darling don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand
More
“I have loved you for thousands of years.” He says to me. I look in his eyes to detect any lies or hesitation. I find none.
“And I’ll love you for a thousand more,” I say with a smile.
“Only a thousand my love?”
I know he’s only joking, but I still feel the need to say, “Yeah. I think I may be tired of you after that.”
“I’m sorry to hear that because after this ring goes on your finger, you’re stuck with me for life.”
We finish our vows and then put on the rings we got for each other. We chose not to have a normal mortal wedding due to neither of us having a last name. Also, I think I prefer it being just us. I wonder how we’re gonna explain this to our fellow Eternals when the time comes.

Wildmoore week 2022 - Day 5 Alternate meeting/AU
A childhood promise - Wildmoore fanfic 
12-year-old Sophie ran her palms along her fatigues for the fifth time in less than 15 minutes. She was nervous for her first field trip with the cadets and was eager to make a good first impression. This is also why she insisted her mom drop her off 30 minutes early. 
She dragged her eyes from her sweaty palms back to the dojo in front of her, hoping that watching the class currently on the mat would help prepare her for her own session. The students were currently running through forms, copying the teacher at the front and although they were all doing identical moves one student stood out to Sophie. This was probably because this student was at least a head shorter than most of her classmates and the only other black girl in the building other than Sophie herself. In fact, she reminded Sophie of her younger sister, Jordan. They were probably about the same age: 8 or 9  and had the same small in stature but big in spirit vibe going on. So it only made sense that Sophie’s attention stayed on this girl as the class progressed from forms to sequences to sparring, only leaving her as she approached the sidelines where Sophie sat, seemingly to take a break. 
Sophie forced herself to refocus her attention on the athletes still on the floor. However, this was short lived as her attention was quickly recaptured by the kid, when she heard coughing and sputtering coming from beside her. She looked over to see that the girl appeared to be choking on a tortilla chip, if the open bag in her hands was any indication. 
Sophie had learned first aid at her cadets meeting just last week and suppressed the urge to jump into action with the Heimlich, knowing that as long as she was coughing she could still breath and any intervention was likely to do more harm than good. But the idea of doing nothing was equally unappealing, so Sophie elected for a happy medium as she grabbed the water bottle from the side of her backpack and offered it to the other girl. The girl looked at her quizzically but ultimately took a swig from the bottle and her coughing immediately subsided.
“Thank you,” she remarked handing Sophie her water bottle back, “but I can take care of myself.” 
“I noticed,” Sophie replied pointing to the mats where she had watched the young girl take down opponents three times her size not a few minutes before, “but even the toughest people need help sometimes. Especially when those chip corners get stuck in your throat. That’s just the worst.”
The kid just shrugged but a tentative smile had appeared on her previously stoic face. 
“There’s not a lot of help to go around in Gotham,” she finally said. 
“Well someday I hope to change that.”
“Do you really think you can change the whole city?”
“Maybe not alone but as part of a team, maybe,” Sophie replied gesturing at her uniform.
“Like the justice league or the teen titans?” the kid asked and for the first time since she came off the mats Sophie saw a spark return to her dark eyes.
Sophie didn’t have the heart to clarify that she had meant the military or law enforcement not a superhero squad. After all, who was she to stomp on a child’s imagination. 
“Something like that,” she finally replied.
“Well if you’re going to be a superhero, you probably shouldn’t wear a name tag,” the kid said pointing at Sophie’s name embroidered to the breast of her uniform, “you know secret identities and all that.”
“That’s good advice. I’ll keep it in mind.”
“I know my stuff when it comes to superheroes. Do you like comic books, Moore?”
“Moore’s my last name, you can call me Sophie,” Sophie clarified, “and I can’t say I’ve read many comics. I prefer mysteries.”
“I’m Ryan,” the kid replied, “and if you want to be a hero you should really read the comics. Or maybe I could help you,” Ryan continued, “be your sidekick?”
“Why would you want to be a sidekick when you could be a superhero in your own right?” Sophie questioned.
“You think I could be a superhero?”
“Why not?” 
The kid’s face seemed to light up a little bit more with that.
“I’ll make you a deal,” Sophie said, “we both work really hard and don’t give up until this city is a better place. And when we’ve done that and can truly call ourselves heroes we team up.” 
“You promise?” Ryan asked extending her pinky to Sophie .
“I promise,” Sophie confirmed linking her pinky with Ryan’s, “20 years from now we’ll be the heroes this city deserves.”
For many years Sophie held on to the promise she made that day with a virtual stranger. Every time she wanted to give up during her training, she saw interlinked pinky’s and fierce eyes above a small smile and it pushed her through. And although she clung tight to the memory, she had long given up any hope of seeing Ryan again. That is until she walked into an interrogation room, almost 15 years later, and saw those same fierce eyes staring back at her, now in the face of a beautiful young woman. And seeing her little beacon of hope there, in that dingy concrete room, it broke her heart a little. Luckily, over the next several years that woman would repair it three fold.

You Came For Me (NSFW Elriel Fanfic)
Tumblr media
image source
Summary: The night after Azriel rescues Elain from Hybern Elain goes to his tent to make sure he's okay.
Word Count: 5,800
Warnings: NSFW
Notes: This is my first fanfic. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated it. 🖤
AO3
She couldn’t sleep. Every time she closed her eyes she shivered remembering the things she was trying to forget, the feelings she wanted to scrub away. She couldn’t make herself trust that she was safe. She tried to focus on Nesta’s steady breathing and failed. Sounds that had once assured her of her safety now felt meaningless. Nesta had always been her safe haven, the only person who wouldn’t fail her or leave her. But the last time they had slept in this tent Elain learned that she was not safe. The cauldron could find her anywhere.
Not that it was Nesta’s fault, really she only had her own stupidity to blame. Her heart and mind warred with themselves, trying to decide what feeling made her cringe more, fear or shame. If she had allowed herself to see what everyone else saw, that Graysen now detested her, then she could not have been so easily lured. But last night she hadn’t wanted to accept that his affection could be anything but true. Even now a part of her brain defended him, reminding her that Graysen had been the one to lead her to the cauldron, is was the cauldron acting alone. She felt an internal embarrassment for continuing to defend Graysen to herself, that she allowed her stupid heart to create some hope that wasn’t there. She was pathetic.
Everyone in her village had grown up hearing terrifying stories of the Fae above the wall. She had always believed them to have godlike strength. Nothing could, or would, break them. Often she envied them. She was always the meekest of her sisters. Everyone assumed she lacked an opinion on anything, just doing whatever her sisters, mostly Nesta, wanted. In reality she lacked confidence in herself, she always told herself that letting her sisters lead made them happy, why should she push back. But she could imagine herself gaining everyone’s respect by becoming Fae or revealing some secret magic. Now, that secret dream made her feel even more pathetic. She had become Fae and had gained no one’s respect. She was still told what to do more often than she was asked her opinion. The lack of any transformation into the strong female she had imagined she truly was only added to her shame. No, even as Fae she was pathetic and boring. Perhaps Graysen had tired of her before her transformation, he just now had an easy excuse to end their engagement.
How many times did she need to suffer embarrassment in front of these people she barely knew? Starting with Graysen making the very public proclamation that he did not want her. Then, she made herself a further fool by wandering off and getting herself captured. In some ways it would’ve been easier if she had died in captivity. Then she could have been spared everyone’s pity that was so palpable she could almost see it hovering over them as they looked at her. But no, because of her stupidity she had to be rescued forcing Feyre and Azriel to risk their lives to save her.
Azriel.
Although now she thought very courageously about her death she had to acknowledge that that had been a very real fear just a few hours ago. She would swear she felt the world shift when she saw Azriel appear in the tent in Hybern’s camp. She had never felt relief like that. His presence had a way of making her feel like the person she imagined herself to be, certain, fearless. He looked at her as if he knew her. Well maybe not her, not the her that everyone saw, but the her she wanted to be, the heroine in her daydreams.
She exhaled loudly and rolled over, trying again to fall asleep. Mother, she was pathetic, creating some romantic scenario in her head where Azriel was the one person who saw her. He was probably the angriest with her. He suffered the most injuries attempting to rescue her. Would he resent the fact that he was injured before the battles had even begun? All because Elain couldn’t let go of her fiancé. What if Azriel’s injuries hindered him in the battle? What if because of Elain’s rescue he couldn’t fight as well and he …
Elain sat up quickly.
No she couldn’t think this way. She would have to speak to him, ensure he was fully healed before he could be allowed to fight. Surely the others had thought of this but if they hadn’t, she wouldn’t allow that to happen, couldn’t allow it. If there was a time for Elain to speak up it would be now. Well not now, not in the middle of the night with everyone sleeping, but now in there proverbial sense. Would he be angry with her if she was the reason he couldn’t fight? It didn’t matter. She was sure he was angry with her anyways.
Maybe that was why she couldn’t sleep.
She slowly pulled back her blankets and set her feet on the ground. Keeping her eyes on Nesta the whole time, making sure she didn’t stir. She pulled a blanket off her bed and wrapped it around herself as she moved towards the entrance of her tent. A part of her brain was warning this was a very bad idea. If she was worried about everyone being mad at her then she should definitely not make it worse by wandering the camp at night. Again. But another part of her brain, likely the sleep deprived part, was urging her on. Telling her a conversation with Azriel was the only way she would be able to calm down and get any sleep. She slowly pulled back the tent flaps and, with one more glance at Nesta, Elain slipped out.
She was almost positive Azriel’s tent was to the left of theirs and Cassian’s to the right. Too soon she and began to doubt herself. Was he sharing a tent with Cassian? Or Mor? Possibly even both. This was a bad idea. She couldn’t even knock and announce herself because how did you knock on a tent. She would just need to go right in.
She began to turn back to her own tent suddenly Azriel was there at the opening, catching her off guard and leaving her standing there speechless, like an idiot.
“Elain?” Azriel seemed to exhale her name after a few seconds of silence.
“How did you know I was here?” A perfectly appropriate greeting.
“My shadows. They patrol while I sleep. They told me you were outside my tent but I didn’t … are you okay?” Azriel’s eyes narrowed as he ran his gaze over her, looking for a source of harm.
“Yes. I’m okay. I just … I wanted to see you. To apologize.” Azriel gave her a look of surprise as a wind whipped through the camp causing Elain to pull the blanket tighter around her shoulders.
“Come in. Please.” Azriel quickly opened the tent further and stepped to the side so that Elain could get out of the cold.
At first his tent seemed smaller than hers, but she saw that was due to the amount of things he had inside. Not that he was messy, but he had a desk covered in neat piles of paperwork. Armor on a dummy in the corner and an impressive display of knives lied out on a small table top. A fire burned near the middle of the tent, immediately warming Elain as the tent flaps closed.
“Are you okay?” Azriel asked again.
Elain turned away from his things scattered throughout the tent to look at him. “Yes. I promise you I am okay. I couldn’t sleep and I wanted to … I hope I didn’t wake you. Were you asleep?”
“No I wasn’t asleep. I was reading.” He motioned to his desk of papers and Elain caught him wince as he lifted his arm.
“Please sit down. I’m sorry I made you get up. Are you okay?” Everything came out in a rush. Gods. What was she thinking coming here and bothering him in the middle of the night. She touched his arm, gently guided him to a chair and sitting herself down across from him.
“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.” She noticed how he slowly lowered himself into the chair.
“You’re not okay you’re hurt.” Elain reached to touch his bandage before catching herself, leaving her hand hovering between them. “Is there anything I can get you? Maybe some tea?”
“I’m fine. You don’t have to get me anything.”
“Please. I would like to help.”
Azriel paused, ready to repeat his no, before seeing that accepting the tea from Elain would help her more than himself.
“Some tea would be great. Thank you.”
Elain busied herself bringing water to a boil over the fire and, after Azriel’s shadows brought her the dried tea leaves, making a pot for the two of them.
“Cups?”
“Over there. There are drawers under the table with the knives. They should be in there.”
“Thank you.” She located the cups as the tea steeped in the pot. As she poured the tea she realized how calm her body not felt. Perhaps she shouldn’t have come here. She suddenly felt exhausted and very ready to sleep.
“Here.” She set Azriel’s cup on the table in front of him. She blew on her own and began to take a sip before thinking better of it and setting it down. Finally, with nothing else to busy herself with, she looked at Azriel. He was already looking at her.
She wasn’t sure where to start.
“I’m sorry.” She decided to lead with the phrase she couldn’t stop repeating. “My foolishness put Feyre and you in danger. I will never forget myself for that.”
Azriel closed his eyes, as if steeling himself for what he was about to say. “You have nothing to apologize for. It isn’t your fault the Cauldron tricked you.”
“If I hadn’t been such a fool about Graysen it wouldn’t have been able to trick me so easily.”
Azriel shook his head. “It is not foolish to believe the best about the person you love.”
Elain grimaced. “I don’t love him.”
“You don’t?” He responded, slightly tilting his head to the side.
“Well,” she blushed. “Perhaps a part of me does but no … not anymore. I see the situation for how it is. How everyone else sees it.”
Something in that statement made Azriel pause. He looked away from her, as if considering something. “Does it matter how everyone sees it?”
“A few weeks, even days ago I would have said no. It only matters what we, or I, felt but …” She gestured in a direction that she believed was south. “Before today I thought everyone was wrong and didn’t understand what we had. Now it appears I was the only one wrong. When the majority of the people in your life disagree with you, at some point you have to admit it’s probably you who’s wrong. Don’t you?”
Azriel didn’t say anything from a few seconds, continuing to stare at something on the ground, before responding. “That logic makes sense.”
They lapsed into a brief silence where Elain attempted to drink her tea again. This time only slightly burning her tongue before turning back to her next question for Azriel.
“How bad are your injuries?”
“They are fine.”
“I could see you grimacing as you sat down. Please Azriel, be honest with me.”
He raised his head when she said his name and met her eyes. “They are bad, but I have had worse. Rhys, however, has already implied that he doesn’t want me in the battle if it starts tomorrow.”
Elain started to apologize again but he waved her off.
“It’s fine. I don’t plan to listen to him. I will be fine.”
That caused her to gasp. “You cannot fight tomorrow. Not if it’s not safe.”
He offered her a grim smile. “I don’t think battles are ever considered safe.”
Elain did not return the smile. “You know what I mean. You are already injured from rescuing me. You’re already vulnerable. If you were to hurt yourself more, I couldn’t…” She trailed off, not being sure what it was she “couldn’t”.
“I will be fine. I have seen many battles and survived.”
She felt her anger grow, both with herself and his casualness. “You shouldn’t have rescued me. You are more valuable than me. Your life means more than mine.”
His grim smile quickly changed to something close to a glare. “My life means nothing compared to yours.”
Instinctually she reached out to touch his arm, wanting to offer him comfort in any way she could. “How could you say…” But when her arm touched his she was too overwhelmed with images to speak.
They reminded her of the dreams she had been having. Ever since she was Made every night she dreamed like she never had before. Dreams that were as vivid as Feyre’s paintings. Sometimes that how they started. She would be looking at one of Feyre’s paintings and not realize she was dream until it came to life or pulled her into it. Some of the dreams were filled with light, the warmth of the sun, the feeling of a new day. Some filled with shadows and whispers, hidden objects that she could never find clearly.
Surprisingly the dreams of the sun were the ones that preceded her worse days. Days filled with anxiety and unease that made her long to go back to sleep but also made her afraid to. These are the days she spent her time in the garden. Dedicating complete focus to her plants and flowers, working through meal times and until the night was so dark she could no longer see the roots. It wasn’t until day turned to night that her heart stopped racing.
But now she was sure she was not asleep. She could feel Azriel’s arm and hear the crackling of the fire in his tent. Smell a combination of musk and sweat that she noticed whenever he was close. But what she saw was out of place with the war time tent.
Golden, barely-there sunlight coming in through the windows. Another fire in a different hearth. Windows left open, light grey curtains blowing in the breeze. A garden could be glimpsed through the windows full of red roses. A soft moan that sounded vaguely familiar. Was it her own? She looked around to see white sheets were gripped in her hands. She felt a heat climbing through her body starting at her core. She felt something between her legs. She moved her gaze down her body. Heavy breathing moved her peaked breasts up and down as she tried to find air. Scarred hands on her hips. A head of dark hair between her legs. Another moan. She couldn’t help but move her hips in time with his tongue.
Her dreams had never felt this real.
“Elain?” She heard someone call her name, but she wasn’t sure who. She could still feel a tongue moving between her legs, bringing her to the edge of something she had never felt before. Her body began to shake at the feeling, getting closer and closer to a feeling that wasn’t familiar with but was desperate for.
Then her body was truly being shaken.
“Elain!’
Her eyes fluttered. Had she closed them? She tried to focus on why she was shaking.
“Elain? Are you okay?” The scarred hands were no longer on her hips but on her arms. Holding her firmly, shaking her gently. Azriel’s head was no longer between her legs but looking her earnestly in the eyes.
“I … yes. I think. I’m okay.”
“Did you have another vision?”
“Yes. I think so.”
“Have you been having many?”
“I’m not sure. I have dreams every night, but I’m not sure if they are visions. They aren’t like this.” She motioned to the air as Azriel lowered his hands.
“What was this one of?”
She hesitated.
“Even if it doesn’t make sense it may be important, for the war.”
“It was of us.” She couldn’t help but answer.
Azriel gave a brief pause, concentrating on keeping his face neutral. “Who do you mean by ‘us’? You and me?”
Elain nodded.
“What were we doing?”
A description of the images flowed out of her. “We were in a house, I’m not sure where. It was peaceful and beautiful. There was a garden outside. We were in bed.” She could feel a blush creeping up her chest to her cheeks. Why did she answer his question. She could have deflected. She must not be fully awake.
Azriel’s cheeks began to blush as he sat up straighter. “Oh. And what were we doing in bed?”
Was it a repercussion of the visions that they had to be spoken whether she willed it or not?
“We … your head was between my legs and you were…”
Azriel stood up suddenly, effectively cutting her off. “I got it Elain. Thank you.” He quickly walked over to the fire and angled himself away from her.
After a few moments of taut silence Elain braced herself and stood. “I don’t know why I said all that. I’m sorry I’ve made things uncomfortable for you. I will go now. I’m glad you’re okay.”
But before she could make it more than a few steps Azriel was behind her. Placing his hand gently on her arm, quickly dropping it as she turned around to face him.
“It’s okay. I know what it’s like being a seer. Some visions must be spoken.”
Elain raised her eyebrows. “Are you a …”
“No.” Azriel cut her off. “But my mother is, I know what it’s like.”
“Did all of her visions come true?” Elain asked, pink staining her cheeks again.
“I cannot remember if all of them did, but I believe most. Although, not often in the way she suspected.”
“Oh.” Elain breathed. The air filling with tension and words left unsaid, until Elain had to say something.
“I would not be upset, if this one came true.” She surprised herself speaking so boldly, but she supposed the vision of the possible future gave her courage that her feelings would be reciprocated.
“Elain.” Azriel repeated her name in a rough tone she hadn’t heard him speak before.
She wasn’t sure who moved first.
His scarred hands were on either side of her cheek, pulling her towards him.
Her hands found his shoulder blades, pulling him to her.
A few touches they had shared before. His hand on her elbow. Her hand on his shoulder. Their fingers brushing. Always they had been gentle, reverent even.
This time their lips clashed. A different kind of reverence, as if their bodies were made to worship one another’s.
The line between sin and sanctification had never been so thin.
With Graysen Elain had been always been demure, unsure of herself. She had rarely felt much pleasure of her own and had the vague impression that he didn’t expect her to have any.
With Azriel she felt uninhibited, she could be herself with him. Elain Archeron, the naive, mortal girl and Elain Archeron, the high fae, the seer. Either way Azriel knew her and accepted her. It drove her confidence now.
Her hands moved to his chest, broad and firm. She had been held against it many times when he winnowed her, but she would never forget how it felt earlier today when he rescued her from Hybern’s camp. Now she allowed herself to give into the temptation she had felt so many times before and ran her hands over it. Unbuttoning the top of his tunic.
His tongue ran across the seam of her lips, urging her to open them for him. She did so eagerly and when their tongues met they both exhaled quiet moans. His hands moved down her hips, over her ass, gently squeezing before moving further down to the backs of her thighs. He bent slightly to get a hold of them and life her up. Pulling her closer to himself, so that their bodies were perfectly aligned. Her hands moved from his chest to circle his neck, one hand threading through his hair.
She felt his pause. His uncertainty in what she wanted next. She pulled his mouth away from his only far enough to speak. “Take me to bed.” Azriel emitted a louder groan before moving his mouth back to hers as if to claim her. After a few steps he was gently lowering her to the bed before positioning himself on his elbows above her, ensuring no weight was put on her. But she didn’t want to be treated so gently. She wasn’t afraid of the weight of him, of this. She pulled his neck down towards her as she lifted her hips up to his. Her body responding on it’s own.
Azriel shifted to one elbow so that he could move a hand to her cheek, gently, down to her neck. His hand circled her neck and he squeezed, lightly. Now it was Elain’s turn the moan, the idea of being at his mercy making her come undone. He squeezed harder before releasing and moving his hand down her body, pushing down her loose nightgown until her breasts were exposed. He broke their kiss to look at them.
“Gods.” He muttered before moving his mouth to her neck. Kissing and nipping until he reached her breasts. She arched her back, begging him to take them into his mouth. He looked up at her as his mouth hovered over her right nipple. His breath causing it to tighten, nearing pain. He kept eye contact as his tongue darted out. Barely licking the peak. Elain trembled and moaned his name.
“Azriel.”
It was his undoing. His mouth covering her nipple, a hand moving to the other. He sucked and bit until she couldn’t stop writhing beneath him, then he moved to her other breast and repeated his worshipping. She felt ready to explode from the feeling on her breasts alone, not to mention the hard length she could feel through his pants when she rubbed against every time his teeth closed around her nipple and she couldn’t help but rub against him.
“Take off your clothes.” She managed between breaths. She knew she was shaking too much to manage removing them herself, not to mention she wasn’t sure how to remove them from his wings.
He removed his mouth from her breast and lifted his head up so that he could look down on her and meet her eyes. He paused, as if he wanted to capture the moment like he was afraid that when he moved to take off her clothes she would suddenly disappear. She gently placed her hand on his cheek, hoping to offer reassurance through her touch. He lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her lips but raising himself to stand at the end of the bed.
He made quick work of his clothes and she pushed her own night gown the rest of the way off her body. The soft blues of her gown melting into the dark greys of his clothes at the end of the bed. She barely had an opportunity to take in his hard length, standing straight at attention.
Then he was on her again. Without the barrier of clothes every inch of their skin is touching. Elain had never felt so alive. Like her skinning is on fire and freezing at the same time. Every inch of her taut and screaming for more of Azriel. In any way. In all ways.
He leaned forward to leave another kiss on her lips before moving down her body, leaving a trail of kisses between her breasts, her stomach, above her sex. When he was between her legs he looked up at her. “Is this what you saw in your vision?” He didn’t wait for her reply before his mouth was on her. He wasted no time kissing her legs, her thighs. Suddenly his lips and his tongue were between her legs, her sex, exploring her, feasting on all her. “Gods Elain.” Azriel moaned into her, causing her to write more. “What do I taste like?” She had to ask, had always been curious. Her question caused Azriel to moan again, she felt the vibrations in her core. His tongue dove into her, as if he was trying to distinguish her taste. “Sugar.” She laughed gently at his general assessment. Something, anything, sweet. She wondered how he would taste.
His tongue was unrelenting. Licking her up and down. Moving between her folds. Pushing into her. There wasn’t a spot of skin between her legs that his tongue didn’t touch. Over and over. Her hands moved to his hair, gripping it hard enough that she was sure he must be in pain. But he didn’t relented. She couldn’t help as her hips began moving on his mouth, riding his tongue. He brought one of his hands to her ass, helping to lift herself onto him. She didn’t spare a thought for the fact that they were only in a tent, did not stifle her shouts with the fear of being overheard. She became overwhelmed with the feeling that she was about the explode. Her body barreled towards some kind of release, but there was some a part of her mind that seemed to hesitate, fearing there was something she wasn’t doing right, that her sounds were too loud or her writhing too much.
As if sensing her hesitation Azriel moved his hand from her ass to her clit, rubbing it while his tongue moved inside her.
She saw stars.
Her hips bucking into him as he helped her ride out her orgasm. He continued to lick and suck her until she had all but stopped moving. Once he saw that she was exhausted he left one chaste kiss on her before moving back up her body until they were eye to eye. They held their eye contact until Elain lifted herself up to kiss him on the mouth, tasting herself as she did. “You’re right, like sugar.” She offered, surprised that her own voice was deeper and scratchier than usual. Hopefully that wasn’t an indication of how much she had been screaming.
Her declaration pulled another groan from Azriel as he moved to kiss her more deeply. After a few tangles with their tongues she pulled away, bringing her palm to rest on his cheek. “I’ve never felt like that before.”
“Never?” He asked with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
She laughed softly. “No. Never.”
He kissed her again, at first gently, before she was lifting herself to deepen the kiss. To take more of him in. She wasn’t done devouring him, having him. Tension began to find it’s way back into her body, her veins. The satiated bliss she felt just moments ago being replaced with the need for more. One hand remained on the back of Azriel’s neck, gently holding his mouth to hers while her other moved down his body. Over the planes of his broad chest, down to his solid stomach, further down until she could feel course hairs and then her hand found what she had been looking for, had been so curious about. The touch of her hand caused Azriel to hiss.
“Are you okay?” She began to feel embarrassed that her inexperience had somehow hurt him. She and Graysen had had sex yes, but there was no extra touching aside from what was needed. She had been content with what it was, but the orgasm Azriel had already given shattered all illusions of satisfaction she had had with Graysen. She now knew how much she had been missing.
Azriel moved his hips so that his hard length was again touching her hand. “With you I am always okay.”
Her lips turned up in a smile as she kissed him again, capturing his moans with her mouth and she touched his length with her fingers, her hands. Running them up and down him. Marveling at how hard he was, with skin smooth as silk. She wrapped her hand around as much of him as she could and squeezed, pulling another moan out of Azriel. He bucked into her hand once, twice. “Fuck Elain. Fuck.” He moved his mouth to her neck and bit down on the skin between her neck and shoulder, causing her to gasp as the pain and squeeze him harder.
Suddenly he was pulling her hand away from him. “If you keep doing that I’m going to explode.”
“Is that such a bad thing?” She went to move her hand back to him, but he caught her wrist.
“It just depends on what you want.” Azriel didn’t make it a question, not wanting to push her in any direction she didn’t want to go. He wanted to be sure it was completely her decision, her call.
“I want this. I want you.” She had felt that draw towards him, that longing, ever since he first showed up at her father’s estate. Cassian had been the Illyrian who had caused her paused, caused her palms to sweat and her legs to tremble with fear at his presence. But upon seeing Azriel in the doorway she had felt a calm wash over her and had somehow known that if Azriel was with Cassian, then she had nothing to fear.
“Have you ever?”
“Yes. With … yes I have.” She didn’t want to ruin this by speaking Graysen’s name. She didn’t want any thoughts of him in her mind ever, much less in this moment.
Azriel nodded, understanding, before lowering himself, lining himself up with her.
“Stop me if it hurts.” She nodded but he before he moved he looked her in the eyes and repeated himself. “Ask me to stop.”
“You won’t hurt me in any way I don’t want you to.”
He kissed her as he pushed into her, slowly, only a inch but still causing her to gasp. He pulled out slightly before pushing in further. Her gasps mingling with his moans. On the next push her eyes fluttered close, a pain mixing with the pleasure. He moved his left hand to where they were joined, his right staying by her head where is elbow was propped. He moved his thumb between her legs, above where they were joined, he rubbed her until she began moving on him, arching into him, wanting more.
Then he gave her more.
He pulled out nearly all of the way before sheathing himself inside her fully. Pushing her legs wider to accompany his hips. Her hips arching up further to meet his as she let out a loud moan. When he had allowed himself to picture this with Elain he had imagined going slowly. It was an image he had tried to stop himself from thinking but one what often came to him in the time between waking and dreams, when he didn’t have full control of his consciousness. But now that he was inside her, her perfect tightness surrounding him, all rational thoughts were gone and every instinct he had took over. He kept himself from unleashing completely, but only barely.
He squeezed her breast as he moved inside her. She pulled his hair. The sounds coming from her mouth were better than anything he could have imagined. No matter how much he wanted this to last all night he knew he would not last much longer. He raised one of her legs slightly, so that he could push deeper into to her and also be closer to her. He kissed her mouth, her jaw, her neck. Grazing his teeth down to her pulse point, he bit down, claiming her in all the ways he knew how.
The sudden pain of his bite mixing with the wild pleasure she felt every time he reached a spot deeper inside her pushed her over the edge. She clenched around him, bucking wildly to ride out that final explosion of pleasure, moaning her first coherent words.
“Azriel.”
The feeling of her coming around him, the sound of her moaning his name, brought Azriel over his own the edge. He spilled himself inside her, glad for her clenching walls milking him till he was thoroughly spent.
He stayed on top of her after, catching his breath. Hearing her labored breathing in his ear, feeling her breaths gently moving his hair. He gently kissed her cheek, ending their passionate fucking with something so sweet she struggled to catch her breath.
Then he moved, pulling himself out her. She groaned at the absence of him. He got up and walked over to his wash basin. Dipping a cloth into the water before returning to her and gently wiping her between her legs. After he was finished he tossed the cloth back towards the bin. It landed on the floor near by and he didn’t bother picking it up. Instead he turned back towards her, taking her in as she lay bare in his bed, starting at her toes and ending with her eyes, as if committing her to memory. Then he brought his hand to his face, as if wiping at the shadow of hair covering his jaw. Finally he sighed, seeming to reach some internal decision, and picked up her nightgown from the floor and holding it out to her.
She frowned as she took it from him, hoping that he would lie down next to her instead.
But he caught her disappointment, as he seemed to catch all of the emotions written on her face.
“I don’t want you to leave. Never that. But if Nesta wake and you aren’t there, there would be hell to pay.”
She smiled at that truth. “Do you think I can get in without waking her?”
“I will put you in your bed with my shadows. She will never know.”
Elain pulled on her nightgown and picked up the blanket she had wrapped herself in to come to his tent before turning to face him.
For a moment they both looked at each other. Trying to read each other.
Finally Azriel broke the silence.
“Was that like your vision?”
She blushed. “Yes. Well. It was similar but we weren’t in this tent, we were somewhere else and I didn’t see us do everything.”
He offered one of his rare smiles. “Good. So we don’t have to be worried this was the last time.”
“No.” She agreed, returning his smile. “We certainly don’t need to worry about that.”

call it even
Chapter 1: you’ll always know me
A/N: This is the first chapter of a 2 (or possibly 3? who knows) chapter Muggle AU fanfic inspired by tis the damn season and dorothea by taylor swift hehe hope you like it :) You can also read it on AO3 here.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and took a deep breath. It was way too early in the morning, she had just gotten off a long flight where she barely slept a wink, and she just didn’t have it in her to talk to any fans without the coffee she was impatiently waiting for at the LAX Starbucks.
But she turned around anyway, bracing herself, and then saw a face that jolted her so much she supposed she wouldn’t need the coffee anymore. “Harry?”
“Hey, Ginny,” he smiled. Harry Potter was standing in front of her for the first time in almost a year, looking as handsome as ever. He was tired, his green eyes looking glazed behind his glasses, his hair pointing in all directions- though she could tell he didn’t try to comb it- wearing the grey-blue sweater she knew her Mum bought him years ago.
Without really thinking about it, she moved forward and hugged him, throwing her arms around his neck, and he put his around her waist and hugged her back, but he also let go first.
“What are you doing here?” she asked incredulously, trying not to think too hard about him breaking the embrace before she could.
“My students had a tournament against a school out here,” he explained. “We lost though.”
“I’m sorry,” she offered.
“Oh, don’t be, I don’t mind. But the kids all seem like they’re going to jump out of the plane before we can make it home. I was up until 2am consoling the quarterback. My assistant coach is talking them all down now out there while I grab us coffee.”
She nodded, biting her lip. And then blurted out, “Why didn’t you call?” At Harry’s confused look, she added, “to tell me you were in L.A.?”
He cleared his throat, and Ginny saw a light blush creep up his neck. “Well, I knew you were away for your match. I caught some of it, you played great, as always.”
“Oh,” she responded, feeling stupid. She sometimes forgot that as a member of the U.S. Women’s Soccer team her schedule was often public knowledge. She felt a tug at her heart thinking about Harry still supporting her after all this time. “Right, thanks. I wish I could’ve shown you around the city. Did you like it here?”
He shrugged. “Not bad, but big cities aren’t really my style. You know that,” he ended, a solemn note in his voice. “Have you been enjoying it out here?”
She mirrored his shrug. “It’s fine, I suppose. I like the weather, if that counts.”
“Nothing else?”
With most people she’d probably just lie and say she loved it, but with Harry she had a bad habit of always being blunt. “The traffic here is worse than what they warn you about, and honestly, it’s hard to make friends when it seems like everyone just wants to use you for your fame- or for the more famous people that you know.”
“Well, if you’re ever tired of being known for who you know, you know you'll always know me.” Harry offered her a sad smile. “I’m always a call- or a FaceTime- away. Not that a tiny screen is my ideal way of seeing you, but better than nothing.”
She wasn’t sure how to respond right away, as she could feel her whole body burning up and her throat closing. There was so much in the air between them. But the barista called out a cold brew, and at the same time they both said, “oh, that’s me,” then looked at each other and laughed. The first one had Ginny’s name on it, the one that followed five seconds later had Harry’s.
They walked away from the coffee pick-up area together, and Harry checked his watch. “Well, we have to board soon. I’m sorry this is the only way we got to see each other.”
“I’ll be home for Christmas,” Ginny told him in response. She originally didn’t plan on reaching out to him when she got back home, because she knew her brother and Harry’s best friend Ron would just tell him, and if he wanted to see her he could make that decision for himself. But suddenly this became information that she couldn’t hold in.
“Oh,” responded Harry, running his free hand through his hair. Her heart fluttered at that motion, as she knew what it meant- that he was nervous in a good way. “Well, that’s great! Let me know when you plan on getting in, I’d love to catch up, properly.”
“Yeah, me too,” she said, the sincerity spilling out against her will. She never could truly play it cool with him, not even when they were kids. She hugged him again, smelling home lingering on his sweater. “I will. Have a safe flight, Harry.”
His grip on her was tighter this time, even with coffee in hand, than the last. “You too,” he replied. And then stiffened and let go. “I mean, you already had your flight, so that made no sense. Have a safe...cab ride home, I suppose?”
Ginny laughed at his stumbling. “I’ll do my best.”
He smiled, raising a hand in a small wave as he walked back towards his students. “See you later, Gin.”
She returned the smile and watched him reach his students. She noticed one of them looking at her as if they recognized her. She saw him nudge Harry with his elbow before she turned around and began walking to find her cab driver. As she continued to stride forward she faintly heard him ask, “Mr. Potter, was that just… Ginny Weasley? Do you know her?”
***
It was her fault for thinking her brothers would give her some indication that Harry would be there. They knew she still had feelings for him, no matter how much she denied it and how many times she tried to move on, and yet they couldn’t even give her a heads up.
When Fred and George saw her exasperated expression, they rolled their eyes in unison as Fred put his arm around her. “Are you reverting back to your 11-year-old self, little sis?”
“Fuck off,” she said, shrugging out of her brother’s embrace. “You could have at least warned me.”
“I thought you were bold, or whatever,” said George. “Wasn’t that one of the three qualities you used to describe yourself in People Magazine?”
Harry began walking over to them. She mentally prepared herself as he hugged Fred and George and congratulated them on the joke shop’s expansion. As he turned his attention to Ginny, the twins quickly left to talk to other guests. He didn’t smile.
“Hi,” she said nervously. “I didn’t know you’d be here.”
“Hi,” he replied, one hand in his pocket, the other holding his drink. “Ron told me you landed three days ago.”
She gulped, feeling his hurt absorb her. “Well, I just got settled in and recharged, you know. I- I was going to text you.” Which was true; she did intend on keeping her promise to Harry at the airport, but didn’t know when the appropriate time would be- how do you know the right time to text your ex and first love to casually catch up?
He hummed, taking a sip of his beer. She absolutely despised cold Harry, she could feel it emanating off of him. “It’s fine,” he said, ostensibly lying. “I was catching up with some other people from school anyway. Remember Cho?”
Oh, he was cruel, bringing up his ex like that. “Obviously,” she almost spat. As if she could forget.
“Saw her and Neville, Hannah and Luna the other day.”
She had half a mind to mention Dean Thomas, her boyfriend right before Harry in her sophomore year, reaching out to her asking to go for a drink, but couldn’t find it in her to do it, so instead she just mirrored his cool and pretend unbothered tone. “I don’t remember asking, but thanks for the information.”
Harry’s frown became more clearly defined. “Fine, sorry to bother you.”
She felt a chill as he walked away from her, a familiar ache pooling in her abdomen. They were fighting like they were teenagers rather than grown adults. It was unlike him to start it- it was usually her- but she couldn’t really blame him, though. She knew at the end of the day that she was the main culprit, that she made him ache the way she did because she didn’t know how else to hold it on her own.
She watched him return to her brother Ron’s side and take another large sip of his beer. Ron’s wife and one of both Ginny’s and Harry’s closest friends, Hermione Granger, gave Harry an appraising look and then walked over to Ginny. Hermione gave her a short hug and then said, “Alright, which one of you said something stupid this time?”
Ginny scoffed, pulling away from her friend. “Oh, it’s nice to see you too, Hermione.”
“I saw you yesterday. So which one of you started it?”
“Obviously he did! He had the audacity to mention hanging out with Cho Chang to me.”
Hermione gave a look of utter exasperation. “That’s a new low for him.”
“I know!”
“But I’m assuming you replied with equal spite?”
She sputtered, crossing her arms. “Maybe so.”
“Well, you should have texted him, Ginny.”
“He should’ve texted me! ” she whispered sharply.
“But you told him at the airport-”
“No, I know that, but- I mean, he should have texted me after…” she trailed off, feeling ashamed of herself for being this upset. “After your wedding last year.”
“You mean after you two slept together again after my wedding last year.”
“Well, yeah. Once I got back to L.A. at least. But nothing.”
“You could’ve texted him then, as well.”
“Whose side are you on, anyway? I know Harry’s been your best friend forever and everything but I’m your sister-in-law! Doesn’t family by marriage mean anything to you?”
Hermione shook her head and rubbed her temples. “You two really need to sort out your issues on your own. But if it helps to know, he wasn’t really ‘hanging out’ with Cho. We were out with him and the others as well, Cho wasn’t in our group, she just happened to walk in with Michael Corner and they stopped by our table and said hi for a quick minute.”
“She’s dating Michael? My ex-boyfriend Michael?”
“Oh, yeah, they’ll be engaged any day now,” Hermione informed her.
“That lying piece of-”
“You’re both to blame here,” Hermione declared, using her I’m Putting My Foot Down voice. “Just act like adults for once and sort it out. Properly.”
Guilt enveloped her throughout the rest of the night and she hated how such a small exchange could do this to her, as she had to act like everything was okay, be happy for her brothers and talk about her life in L.A. and as a famous soccer player and sell the life she was living as one she was satisfied to have.
By the end of the evening, before he could leave, she found Harry by himself sitting and reading something intently on his phone. She took a deep breath and walked over to him. “Mind if I sit here?”
He looked up for a second, shook his head, and continued staring at his phone. She eased up just a tad, as she could tell his silence wasn’t his I’m Ignoring You silence, but rather his I’m Deep In Thought and Concentration silence. “Everything okay?” She asked, and when he glanced her way she gestured to his phone.
He gave a half-laugh, half sigh, looking back at his screen. “Yeah, it’s just some of these parents have no boundaries… emailing me during the holidays- on a Friday night no less. I’m just reading through them to decide if any of them are worth responding to outside of my automatic away signature.”
“Is this for the football team kids, or your English Literature students?”
“My Lit students, but there is some overlap. I have this one student, Danny, who’s a really great kid, and his parents are real dickheads, and they’re mad that he got a B+ instead of an A, despite me telling them last quarter that a B is a great grade, and Danny’s already self-conscious as it is and could use encouragement rather than nitpicking over bullshit-“
He caught sight of her face and quickly cut himself off, a blush spreading across his cheeks. She realized she was smiling- it was always nice to see Harry talk passionately about something- and quickly adjusted her facial features. He cleared his throat and closed his phone. “They can probably wait until after the holidays for me to repeat myself, I suppose.”
“I think that’s the right call,” she assured him.
He exhaled, running his hands through his hair and then over his face, trying to wipe off his exhaustion with it all. “Thanks.” He put his hands on his lap and looked at her fully, as he refused to do a couple of hours ago. “Ginny, I’m sorry-“
“No, I’m sorry,” she interjected. “I told you I’d let you know when I’d be here and I didn’t. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I let my frustration get the better of me,” he said with a sigh. “Classic Harry for you.”
She laughed, folding her legs into a pretzel in her seat. “Can’t blame you, really, as I’d probably behave the same.” She let out a breath and continued on. “Look, I did mean to text you and tell you I was back. I just… I don’t know, I was stupid, I thought it had to be the right timing, but I guess that doesn’t make much sense.”
“What, were you waiting for a sign or something?” he asked. He was joking when he asked, but as he processed the look on her face he rolled his eyes and chuckled. “Wow, Gin. You never stop amazing me.”
She blushed and laughed nervously, thinking of all the times in the past Harry had said something like that to her. She wanted to hear more of it, over and over, even when he’s saying it in jest. “That is what I do best.”
His features sharpened a bit and he leaned forward. “Well, how’s me asking to see you tomorrow for a sign?”
She put her hand on her chin and pretended to think about it. “A pretty good one, I’d say.”

Wounds: A Nessian Fanfic
Authors Note: Welcome to Nessian month day 11!! Prompt: My Immortal. (Warning this one is angsty!!!) @illyrianet
Ever since his death, Nesta had felt as if she were floating in between a state of consciousness and the overall feeling of dread and grief.
She would consistently get flashbacks to his death. The last moment she saw him. Her broken and bleeding on the ground, Kosheci looking for a life to take, wanting hers as Cassian pressed a kiss to her forehead telling her that he loved her. That he would find her again in the next life, He’d always find her.
The scream falling from her bruised and swollen lips as he told Kosheci to take his life instead. Remembering her sobs of grief and despair as she watched KoscheI slit her mates throat. His hazel brown eyes keeping his gaze upon her so she was the last thing he would see before death came to claim him.
She had watched, unable to move as his body collapsed to the ground beside her. She clamped a hand to her mouth, Rhys appearing a second later killing Koschei. But Nesta hadn’t been able to tell what he had said to her afterwards. Could feel nothing but the excruciating pain of her and Cassian‘s bond breaking. As she begged him not to leave her. Rhysan’s eyes shone with pain for her and of a different sort.
Still after the battle was one, Nesta had refused to let go of Cassian‘s body. held him for dear life as if her love could magically bring him back to life. Even Feyre could not persuade her.
She had laid with him for twelve hours before it set in that he was gone. Feyre and Elain was there, refusing to leave her side as her sisters pulled her into a hug letting her broken sobs fill the room.
Nothing felt right after that, She kept expecting it to be a dream. For him to come walking through the doors to their house and announce his presence to her. She would do anything to hear his voice again. But the worst part of the pain happened a couple weeks later as she smelt a faint shift in her scent.
Her hand had went to her stomach, her hand clasping over her mouth as she thought the gods could not be so cruel. Had went to Madja as a sad smile crossed over her face confirming the news that she was indeed pregnant with her and Cassian‘s child.
She had sobbed for hours, cried at the fact that the love of her life would never know of her pregnancy, that she would never get to see his reaction when she told him he was going to be a father. That they would never share in this experience together.
She had broke down in tears when Feyre had scented it on her resting a comforting hand on Nesta’s shoulder promising her that her and her child would never be alone. And they hadn’t been.
She never spent a spare moment alone as she watched her belly grow, had had many conversations with Feyre about motherhood what to expect, had been gushed over by Gwyn and Emerie. had conversations about how lost she felt without Cassian to Azriel and Rhysand, It wasn’t until she felt their daughter move for the first time that she let her tears flow again.
Now she stood there by his grave with their six month old daughter in her arms. Her blue-gray eyes looking up into Nesta’s as her daughter pressed her tiny hand to Nesta’s cheek.
Nesta ran a hand over her black hair that she had inherited from her father prsssing a soft kiss to her forehead.
“Let’s go meet your daddy sweetheart.” She cooed walking up to his gravestone kneeling down beside it as she ran a hand over his name there,
She had insisted on the last name on the gravestone. Her last name attached to it, knowing that Cassian would always be her home. the love of her life, she read the words a love husband, brother and friend on his tombstone had told Rhysand her plan as she held their daughter close to her chest.
“There’s someone I’d like you to meet. This is our daughter, Cassandra, She just turned six months a couple days ago. Her aunts and uncles spoil her rotten espicially Feyre. I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard without you through all this, I would have done anything to see that look on your face when you found out, but-“ She took a deep breath, “But that didn’t happen. Perhaps when we meet in the next life, I’ll get to share this with you. Perhaps in the next life, I’ll get to see that look on your face, I’m always thinking about that look on your face.“ she told him, her tears escaping as Cassandra cooed wiggling in her arms.
She knew she would get restless soon. She pressed a kiss to her daughters head. as she rummaged through her bag getting what she was looking for, as she pressed the tool to Cassian‘s tombstone wiping off the excess as she read the words father on his grave. She thought of he had a tombstone, he should at least be recognized for everything he was.
“I love you.” She whispered pressing her forehead to the cool stone before standing up with their child,
“Let’s go home.” She told her walking away from the grave but turning before she resched the carriage looking at his headstone, the sun shining upon it as if he was watching them from above as she lifted her eyes to the skies whispering.
“To the next life, my love.“

Promise You’ll Look After Her
Spoilers: do not read if you have not watch season 3 🙃 this is a short little one just because it’s a little part from my fanfic I am writing on Wattpad. I wanted to see what you guys thought of it (: let me know. I’m going to change it a little bit of course, work better on the writing. I wrote it pretty quick.
We made it to wall Maria, everything is kind of going to shit. We thought it was going to be easy to patch the holes. Oddly enough it was. At first we didn’t see any titans…. We had it we were so close.
Reiner came out of the walls.
“Reiner!” Levi yells and jumps off to go after him.
“Levi!” I yell down to him. Levi stabs Reiner in the neck, and then in the stomach. Obviously he turns into a titan, how? Who knows. He should’ve been dead.
The beast titan appeared, as well as others. He throws a boulder towards us. Everyone takes cover.
Erwin figures out their plan. He sends Levi to go after the beast titan.
“I am going with him.” I tell Erwin.
“No!” Levi yells, “I need her safe.”
“Nowhere is going to be safe dumbass!” I tell him.
“She’s right, I trust her with you.” Erwin says, “otherwise you die. Protect my sister, the horses and everyone else. I trust you.”
Levi nods and grabs my arm and shots off on his ODM gear.
“Listen Rei, I can’t watch you die. I don’t know what I would do if I lost you. So I’m going to have you hide in a house.”
“Excuse me? Levi! You know i can fight just as good, if not, better than everyone else.”
We land on top of a roof, “I know! I know you can! But I’m scared to lose you! I love you Rei, and if I lost you, I’d lose part of myself…” Levi mentions looking down at his feet. I stood in shock… not knowing he had this side to him.
“Wow, the great Captain Levi Ackerman, does have a soft side.” I let out a small giggle.
“Hey, Im not messing around… I really do care for you and if anything did happen..” I cut him off.
“I know. You’d lose a part of yourself.” I go in to hug him. He pulls me into this deep hug, he was squeezing me so tight, it honestly got hard to breath.
“Stay safe, I’ll be back to check on you.” He tries leaving, but I grab his arm.
“Excuse you? And what about me? What if I lose you? Huh? You don’t think I’d lose a part of me?” I question him with tears in my eyes. He pulls me in for another hug, this time it was soft. I balled my eyes out, he rubbed my back.
“Look, I know I’m not this soft ever… and I may be-“
“An asshole?” I laugh.
“I was going to say jerk, but yeah, asshole works. I promise you, im not going to die. I can’t. I promised your brother, and myself, that I’d protect you. I’m not breaking that promise.” He kisses my forehead and takes off.
“Levi!” I yell out to him. I look up and see my brother staring down to me from the top of the wall. He turns around and walks away. I know I have ODM gear and I can easily follow Levi, and/or go fight. But he really worried me with how he acted today… I know it’s not going to end well and there’s going to be more death than there normally is..

Genshin Impact Fanfic Rec List
(because this is my most current obsession~~)
The Narwhal of Dihua Marsh by GreyLiliy
Childe hears of a strong Adeptus living at the Wangshu Inn. Despite warnings from Zhongli that fighting Xiao would be a deathly mistake, Childe seeks out the Adeptus living in the Dihua Marsh eager for a proper fight.
However, Childe severely underestimates his opponent, and the consequences of his actions may keep him from returning home to Snezhnaya.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: This fic is interesting primarily because it's not necessarily what you would call an easy story to read. The content can surprisingly get quite heavy as the relationship between Childe and Zhongli isn't healthy and it becomes increasingly obvious as the story progresses. You swing between wanting to separate the two and also desperately wishing that they'll work out because there is something there. The story snowballs from what seems like an innocuous, if stupid and rash, decision on Childe's part to a complicated mess that you can’t help but be enthralled in. I went in expecting your typical romance and ended up in something that was more complex than I expected but also beautifully thought provoking.
Entirely Out of Spite by Bgtea
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very, very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the shitty, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Fuck that noise. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to unfuck himself.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: Whenever this updates, I squeal. If you’re a fan of The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System or just transmigration/reincarnation plots in general, you’re going to love it. Bgtea does a beautiful job in balancing humor with the trauma that comes with the whole reincarnation plotline. The whole of it is beautiful written and watching Childe/Ajax interact with the other characters (and the perspective of those characters) is a delight! 
the sister by glassdrachma
The tragic and unexpected death of Zhongli-xiansheng of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor occurred to the sorrow of many and the deep skepticism of a few.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: glassdrachma has a gift for humor and romance. In short, Zhongli fakes his death for plot reasons and comes back as Jianlao, the bereaved twin sister. Shenanigans ensue, featuring overprotective Liyue-ians (?), chaotic gremlin Venti, and Kexing. Very light hearted, good for the soul.
The White Cicada Society by clementinesgulag
After his little brother is bundled back to Snezhnaya, Childe makes good on his promise to the traveller and takes the first boat out of Liyue Harbor. Any sense of homecoming lasts about as long as an uncooked steak in front of Xiangling, however, when his boat sinks, grounding him back in the mainland.
It's just as well, because the next morning, a body is found in the Northland Bank. A visit from a fellow Harbinger reveals a far more insidious plot than anything Childe could concoct with a god of the vortex and twenty minutes without supervision. The murders aren’t limited to the one Bank. They’ve been trailing down the Liyue border, getting closer and closer to the city. The Tsaritsa has a new mission for him: to figure out who, or what is targeting Fatui forces.
Against his best wishes, Childe is forced to see Zhongli again at the morgue. It becomes clear that he’s going to need a guide, and Childe resolves to quash his pride, and their differences to request his help to navigate Liyue and solve the case.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: A diamond in the rough that I slept on and then stumbled back to by accident. I had it marked for later on AO3 and forgot about it for like a good week to my utter self-disgust. It. Is. So. Damn. Good! The mystery is intriguing but I live for the realistic portrayal of the aftermath of the whole gnosis plotline. The betrayal, the bitterness, but ah, the sexual tension. The harbinger interactions in this fic make it gold though.
Lungs full of Roses by SecretlyACatLady
Childe had always assumed that he would die young. He had accepted that a long time ago, ever since he accepted the mantle of a Fatui Harbinger. However, he always thought that he would die in a glorious fight, his body broken but spirit relishing the strong opponent that had bested him. He was okay with that type of death.
Unfortunately, it seemed like Fate had decided to add one last insult to injury, because, here Childe was, dying because he had fallen in love with the ex-Geo Archon. The same Archon who seemed to have discarded him like an old toy ever since the Osial Incident. --- In which divine beings are cruel and a cursed Childe starts preparing for his inevitable death because no Archon could ever love a mortal.
…Right?
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: The fic that started it all for me, the one that sucked me into the fandom. This fic is heartbreaking. We always do love a hanahaki plotline but something about the way it frames the disease and the shame that comes with it...I highly recommend giving it a read. The angst is real I tell you.
The Bride of The Golden Dragon by Erika_Bee
“You’re to be sent on a special mission, Tartaglia.”
The young man’s eyes gleamed in interest. “How special?” He asked as he wiped the blood off his daggers.
His superior grinned. “Special enough to put your name in Snezhnaya’s history books.”
In which the Archon War ravaged the land of Liyue and to ensure the people’s survival, the God of Geo established the Harvester Contract: One bride per village, every year, in exchange for protection and a good harvest.
Or: Childe is sent on an undercover mission to kill the Geo Archon, but things don’t go as planned.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: Don’t let the title scare you off--this isn’t one of those fics where they feminize one of the male characters and reduce their personality to a mindless submissive bobblehead to the point that I want to throw my laptop out of the window. Not that there’s anything wrong if you like that kind of thing, just not my cup of tea. This fic though---READ IT! There’s just something refreshing about the writing and the plot, the way that Childe’s character reads off the page. I live for the interactions between the characters and how the author has mapped the relationships. Warning that recent chapters have swerved decided into NSFW territory though.
the brothers grim by izabellwit
Left in an unfamiliar land with a mission he never wanted, a young Kaeya lies, survives, and somehow finds a family in the process.
Or: How Kaeya came to Dawn Winery, and why he left it. Includes lore, sibling bickering, found family struggles, and a more in-depth look at the years between Kaeya’s arrival and Crepus’s death.
Ships: N/A
Notes: Ahh, little Kaeya. Cheeky ass little shit that’s too angsty and adorable for his own good. I don’t have words for this fic. It makes my heart warm but also makes me want to weep because god, this fic covers exactly how traumatic Kaeya’s situation is and why child soldiers/spies just shouldn’t be. And the dynamic he has with Diluc and Crepus--do me a favor and read it. Screams found family.
the wind through the mountain tops by glassdrachma
Boredom brings Barbatos of Mondstadt to bother a certain ex-Archon of the Earth.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: A light-hearted, humorous and fluffy as hell piece. Short word is that Venti comes to Liyue for some fun, causes chaos, accidentally plays matchmaker, and steals some vegetables. A get-together fic for Childe and Zhongli that includes a surprisingly self-aware (if blunt and snarky) Zhongli and jealous Childe that gets increasingly flustered.
melt (speak or forever hold your peace) by anatakana
Falling into bed with Diluc was an unbelievably bad idea given their tumultuous shared history, but Kaeya’s impulsive urge to amuse himself knew no bounds.
It’s all fun and games until emotions got involved.
Ships: Diluc/Kaeya
Notes: THIS IS NSFW. With plot though? This is THE FIC that got me shipping the two (though the game did a good job on its own). The angst is real here and we love the sheer gal of both of these two stupid men.
Cascading (In a good way) by Hubbleablubble
Kaeya is a fascinating annoyance.
(Or: A series of events in which Albedo gets to know Kaeya, and they slowly go from strangers to acquaintances to something more.)
Ships: Albedo/Kaeya
Notes: Sweet fic. Not my typical ship pairing. Loved the Khaenri’ah mentions. Kaeya is Trans FTM here though it’s only briefly mentioned. There is also an incomplete sequel (as of May 2021) featuring an Overprotective Big Brother Diluc on a warpath giving shovel talks to everyone except apparently Albedo that’s also worth reading.
The Language of Flowers by Jules (Penwyn)
Kaeya Alberich has made a habit of lying—after all, the only truths he’s ever spoken cost him everything—but there are only so many lies a man can tell before the truth comes spilling out.
Ships: Diluc/Kaeya
Notes: Hanahaki! Except not! Basically, Kaeya pukes up flowers that say the truth whenever he lies. Cue, angst! Lovely and quick read--love Kaeya’s voice here.
i know i'm where i'm meant to go by paperclips (pastel_paperclips)
"Childe," Zhongli says suddenly. "I am enjoying myself greatly."
Childe’s face breaks into a grin. "Then-"
Zhongli gasps, grabbing his wrist and tugging him over to an unsuspecting peddler with a cart full of rocks. "Is that an intrusive igneous pegmatite formed in the Inazuma regions?"
Childe’s grin smooths into a small, adoring smile. He has all the time in the world to figure the other man out.
OR: Finding the Geo Archon is on Childe's to-do list but hanging out with Zhongli is significantly more fun.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: Childe, you idiot. Humorous and funny, very light hearted. Makes you wonder if Childe has an IQ. He’s too busy pining/lovesick to realize that he told his target that he’s going to kill him for his gnosis. Zhongli and Liyue remain confused on how Childe still DOES NOT get it but half-ass hiding his Archon status anyway.
the bird without wings by Anonymous
"Kaeya!" someone yells. Small arms wrap around his waist tightly, red hair spilling out of the ponytail, and Kaeya's heart almost stops.
He's talked his way out of all types of situations. From placating international disputes to buttering up his informants, he's always had a quick response to everything.
But for once, Kaeya is speechless. He stares down at the boy with puffy cheeks, slightly crooked teeth and sparkling bright eyes.
Eight year old Diluc beams back.
Ships: Diluc/Kaeya
Notes: Diluc gets de-aged and Kaeya gets angsty. The interactions between the two are heartwarming and will induce tears. Childe makes a brief appearence that *chef’s kiss*
call me "lover boy" by Anonymous
Zhongli turns back, eyes bright with amusement, a stray lilypad still stuck in his hair, and Childe thinks, wow. I want to kiss him stupid.
Childe's not into the whole "swooning maiden patiently waiting for his beloved to swoop down and smooch the daylights out of him" thing. Nah, that's not his style. He's Tartaglia, eleventh of the Fatui harbingers, and he's going to kiss Zhongli right now.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: FUNNY AS HELL. Childe is straight up just trying to plant one on Zhongli but fate and people just keep interfering. It’s a weird trope aversion where the character is actively trying to confess rather than avoiding it but life gets in the way. 
springtime in snezh-nya-ya by miaomaomei
Tartaglia’s body moves before he can even think about it. He arches his back and flattens his ears against his head, baring his teeth in a hiss. Considering he barely even reaches Scaramouche's knees — Scaramouche, of all people! The guy is practically the size of a fourteen-year-old — he doubts that he is cutting as imposing a figure as he hopes.
It isn't a surprise, though. No one could become a Fatui Harbinger if they were scared of a little cat.
OR
Tartaglia is turned into a cat and he goes to Zhongli for help. It goes about as well as expected.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: TOO ADORABLE FOR WORDS. This is just pure fluff I swear. Love how Childe is written and the interactions between the two are just ahhhh. A balm on the soul.
Melt by tanktrilby
“My name is Diluc,” he says. A scowl naturally furrows his brow, and Kaeya looks like he wants to laugh.
He’s looking at him through his lashes again, blue eyes teasing and warm. “Diluc,” he says. “A knight in overalls isn’t quite where I thought my preferences would lie, but here we are.”
(or: Kaeya loses his memories and makes some assumptions. Diluc can't honestly tell him that he's wrong.)
Ships: Diluc/Kaeya
Notes: As the summary says, Kaeya loses his memories. Diluc plays babysitter for plot reasons. Meanwhile, Kaeya freaks out and has an essential crisis because his instincts freak him out which = angst. Simultaneously, sort of love confessions? 
you are cordially invited by ktenologious
When the Traveler receives a mysterious invitation from a Snezhnayan businessman, they seek out help from the only Snezhnayan they are on good terms with. They decide it is a wonderful idea to go to this business party in the middle of the ocean because, well, what could be better entertainment than watching a Fatui Harbinger at work? It is too bad Childe couldn't come with them...
Meanwhile, the Tsaritsa needs someone to track down the source of a brand new drug at a party on a cruise; it just so happens that she has two Harbingers who specialize in causing chaos and sinking ships. Scaramouche is a sadist and loves this, and Tartaglia... Well, Tartaglia just wants to know why is he the one in the dress again.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe, sort of Diluc/Kaeya & Scaramouche/Childe
Notes: Features a crossdressing Childe and Kaeya for plot reasons. Funny as hell. Love Fatui dynamics/interactions. Highly recommend. Go read it. I’m serious. It’s so beautiful, I can’t. Also Zhongli is so love-sick and jealous, it’s hilarious.
The Road to Snezhnaya by paranoid_fridge
Everything's done and over. Now, Zhongli only needs to adjust to living like an ordinary mortal. Or that is what he thinks until a familiar face shows up in Liyue. Teucer comes looking for his brother who failed to return to Snezhnaya on the Fatui ships. And as Childe's declared "friend", Zhongli must help Teucer find him.
Or: Teucer drags Zhongli on a cross-country goose chase looking for Childe. Zhongli just happens to find a bit more along the way.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: I have no words for this fic outside of the fact that it is clear that Teucer has the only functioning brain and should be Best Man because he obviously did all the work here. Features an oblivious Childe and overprotective Zhongli, plus bystander Kaeya that is getting allll of the gossip. And also the most destructive group of children ever.
basket of knives by oronine
“I just want to be loved,” Childe says to himself, to whoever is listening. “Is that too much to ask?”
They are on the roof once more, this time Childe’s foot touches the edge of the building as he daydreams of something that cannot be. The sky is blank and cloudy and perhaps Lumine fears it’ll all end when he takes a step.
“Not at all,” she says. It’s still the truth.
Contrary to popular belief, Childe hates his family but loves them all the same.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: TW for suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, self-harm, depression, etc. Not a light read by any definition. Set in a modern AU, not in the genshin impact universe. Features a Childe that is Not Okay, good friend but also probably traumatized friend Lumine (and her brother Aether), and Zhongli. Family dynamic is messed up as hell and explores mental health quite well in my opinion. I’m not sure how healthy necessarily Childe’s relationships are but I think that’s a given considering the context and how derailed his mental health is in this fic. Definitely angst as heavy, made me tear up quite a bit. Read, but pay attention to the content/trigger warnings as it does get quite explicit.
Bane of All Evil by tzitzimeme
When Chongyun unintentionally offends Liyue's second most powerful adepti, he vows to mend the thorny relationship between Adeptus Xiao and human exorcists-- even though no one has succeeded in currying Xiao's favor for over a thousand years.
His best friend Xingqiu offers to come alone, mainly because he's worried about what kind of trouble Chongyun will run into. Along the way, they receive help from others: Xiangling packs them meals for their journeys, while Zhongli gives them advice on what demons to track.
Childe is just there because he thinks the whole thing is hilarious.
Ships: Chongyun/Xinqiu
Notes: JFKLFJS I LOVE THIS. I love Chongyun’s characterization and the interaction between all the characters. The dynamic between Chongyun, Xingqiu, and Xiangling are to die for. Also, this line: “Stuck-up Persnickety Bastard.” Random note but Xiao throws Chongyun off a balcony yet is also 100% a softie.
Talks about Nothing by tzitzimeme
In which Zhongli unlocks the Memory of Dust, only to find out:
1. Guizhong is 100% alive (just disembodied) within it, 2. Guizhong has been watching over him this whole time, and 3. Guizhong is very excited by the prospect of Zhongli getting a cute Snezhnayan boyfriend.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe, Venti/Xiao
Notes: The pure judgment that Guizhong unleashes on Zhongli (as well as her sass in general) is pure comedic gold. The dynamic between Xiao and Venti are also adorable. Meanwhile, Childe misunderstands and also just wants to know what the fuck is going on.
xi wangmu by tzitzimeme
Xiangling scales entire mountains to satisfy the palettes of her two pickiest customers.
(Or, two men who are emotionally stunted by their own immortality inadvertantly turn an overly enthusiastic chef into their messenger pigeon.)
Ships: Zhongli/Xiao (?)
Notes: Not sure if it reads romantic exactly, can definitely be read as platonic. The fic boils down to Xiangling trying to expose Xiao to variety because just eating plain almond tofu is a no no. Zhongli gives advice/uses Xiangling as a messenger pigeon. Backstory is explored!
Falling (Fallen) by asinglecrow
It’s only when Childe finds himself in front of Zhongli, a spear protruding from his stomach, that he thinks oh I might have fucked up.
Or: The worst (best) day of Childe's life.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: Funny and lighthearted! Gets sort of NSFW with passing mention of mpreg but otherwise, it’s just pure humor/fluff. Get-together fic featuring deadpan dragon Zhongli and Childe that is just done with everything. 
the louvre by morisuke
Here in Liyue, the air is filled with the ocean, and the sun shines through the mountains like it’s flowing through a crack in the sky. Here in Liyue, there is a man with no wallet at a vending machine that is going to waste the rest of his day showing a stranger around their school campus for a pocket sized can of iced coffee.
It’s interesting here in Liyue, Childe thinks.
or
Where Childe flirts with a stranger at a campus vending machine.
Ships: Zhongli/Childe
Notes: Set in a modern/college AU. This is a relatively quiet, soft kind of story. Childe comes to Liyue because reasons and falls in love quietly. It’s more of a snippet of life type of fic that’s sweet and peaceful. Love the change that comes over Childe as he finds a home.

Mack is Disturbed by an outburst and Aaron Has a change of Mind.
Mackron Fanfic.
"Are you ok Mack?" Aaron asked Mack.
"No" said Mack brushing a tear away" It's killed me seeing what I did to Lucy"
"Mack come on" said Aaron "It could have been worse you could be crying coz you lost. Please cheer up"
"She's the last person on earth that I wanted to hurt" said Mack.
"Let's go Mack. Everyone is waiting at the bar for us" said Aaron "Belle and Brenda have put on a little celebration so don't let them see you've been crying"
Mack and Aaron went to the bar with Isla.
"Congratulations" said Brenda giving Mack a kiss on the cheek.
"Mack doesn't look too happy Aaron" said Chas.
"He's fretting over Lucy mum" Aaron explained "It's hit him hard seeing how upset she was yesterday. She collapsed when they read the verdict out"
"Well that's understandable. Any mother would be heartbroken" Chas said just as Lucy's sister Melanie walked in.
"I hope you're proud of yourself Mackenzie" Melanie said as the room went silent. "My sister is at home with a broken heart and hasn't stopped crying since yesterday she's wasting away and it is killing us watching her deteriorate"
"Melanie I'm so sorry it's truly hard me knowing how she's suffering" Mack replied.
"You selfish pig" yelled Melanie "It's not all about you. My sister is starving herself to death because of you. She says she has nothing to live for"
"Calm down Melanie" said Aaron "I'm so sorry it's come to this"
"Well maybe your selfish boyfriend could put it right. We'll take the baby and look after her" said Melanie.
"It would break him if he gave her up Melanie" said Aaron.
Tumblr media

"No that's not true" said Mack "I think the world of her, of course I do, she's the mother of my child but I'm committed to Aaron and we're getting married"
"You heartless bastard" Melanie screamed as she stormed out. "You've swept her away like a piece of rubbish"
"Sit down before you fall down Mack" said Belle bringing a chair for Mack who was grabbing onto Aaron to stop himself from falling over.

"I don't know but all I know is you're in the middle of the mess" Chas replied.

"No" replied Mack grabbing the bottle and smashing it. "I'd choke on it. Let's go home Aaron I don't feel like celebrating. I'll just leave you all to it"
"Mack you've got to sort this" said Aaron when they got home "You're thinking about Lucy aren't you?" he said as Mack sat on the settee cradling his daughter.
"I love my daughter so much Aaron" said Mack.
"I know you do Mack" Aaron said sitting next to Mack and putting his arm round his shoulder. "But you're crying over Lucy"
"No I'm not" said Mack.
"Mack don't lie to me" said Aaron "You promised I'd be the only one in your life now Mack and I dont think you can keep that comitment"
"I can honestly" Mack said.
"Mack we can't get married when you've got Lucy constantly on your mind" said Aaron.
"Please Aaron you'll break my heart if you call the wedding off" Mack replied.
"I can't marry you Mack while you feel like this" Aaron replied.
"Please Aaron" said Mack "You're killing me"
"Look Mack go to Lucy" said Aaron "It's obvious you've still got feelings for her and I can't handle you suffering"

Tumblr media
"Mack I want to marry you more than anything but I can't bear to see you hurting so just go" Aaron replied tearfully.
"Are you positive coz I don't want to lose you" said Mack "Are we still getting married?"
"Yes" Aaron replied."It hurts seeing you like this"
"So you still want me?" Mack asked.
"I wouldn't say it if I didn't. Now just get out of here and if she needs you to stay just do it" said Aaron.

"Just go Mack"

*claps hands together* So, it has come to my attention that there are nearly no fanfics of Luisa & that my newest hyperfication needed a break from planning. With that being said, have this little story I whipped up this morning. 🙂
Tumblr media
Warnings; a sad, melancholy Luisa Madrigal, fluff, cheering up, nickname, bad jokes.
>>I read a headcanon somewhere that Luisa was sensitive about her strength. Not in the sense that she was ashamed of her gift, but in the sense that she feared being too strong & ends up breaking something or hurting someone. Maybe she ends up locking herself in her room after doing one thing or another that she didn't mean to do & won't come out.
"How long has she been in there?" You whisper to Maribel at your side as Isabella & their parents try their best to talk Luisa out of her room. Meribel had personally gone to fetch you from your shift at your family shop which you were already leaving the backroom of the shop where you were taking stock but you were already halfway to Casita once a gut feeling panged. Your mind immediately to Luisa after you overheard some worried farmers talking about a downed donkey. "Nearly two and a half hours. Ay, she's not usually like this! Normally, she'd let just Mama & Papa in & no one else but even they can't get in. You're the first person I thought of when everything else didn't work." Your brows lift in alarm. "Nothing?" Maribel pulls her lips in & shakes her head, her curly hair swishing as she did so. "Nada." You purse your lips in thought while glancing over to her parents & second eldest sister finally spotting you. Without a moment's hesitation, you walk to Luisa's door with her family moving down the steps behind you.
The knocks you landed on the dark, light speckled barrier that is your dearest friend's bedroom door. You already know her folks asked her all the basic questions that you'd expect them to, so you'd have to think a little further than the rest. You sit on the floor, cross your legs, then lean against the door. "Hola, Lulu. It's Y/N. Do you mind if I sit here for a bit?" Silence. You had grown accustomed to people shutting you out of things & now was no exception. If there was one, single thing you learned from El Familia Madrigal, it was that being steadfast & patient with everyone is always a wise choice. At first, after some soft shuffling sounds, the sudden sensation of weight leaning onto the other side of the ethereal-like door shows that you had gotten through. Judging from the shadows under the door, you could tell she was leaning her shoulder into the door, sitting coiled against it. "Y/N..." She pauses to think over her words as you answered her patiently. "Si, mi amiga?" She shifts on her side & mumbled something. "What was that, Lulu?" "I said I'm sorry about the leg-breaking thing earlier. I didn't mean to do it, I promise." Her voice sounds shaky as if she had been crying for the whole of the two and a half hours she had been in her room. She must have been.
"I know, Lulu. You'd never do anything like that & everyone knows that." You pause when you hear her sniffle feebly, seemingly taking consolation at your gentle words of comfort. You think back on the times the two of you had shared since before her candle ceremony & a light bulb switched on. "Hey, Lulu? What did the grape say when he got pinched?" She tries to get you back on the subject at hand but you insisted. "I don't know, Y/N. What'd he say?" "Nothing, he just gave a little wine." A snicker is enough for you to give another joke you knew she'd like. "What did the cupcake say to its frosting?" Luisa stilled her voice & asked what the nonexistent pastry said. "It said 'I would be muffin without you.' I heard the frosting was so sweet after that." You both lost track of how much time had passed like this & you had the strong woman practically cackling on her side of the door. You stopped only when you noticed the smell of food floating from the kitchen. "Ah, it smells like dinner is ready. Mmm, smells really good this time." You stand with Casita's assistance to stretch away your stiffness.
Luisa's laughter faltered which you noticed quickly & caught to assist back into fruition. "Lulu? Ya' hungry?" You offered as she breaths from her side. "I'll stay & have dinner with you if you'd like." You extend your warmest vocals through the door as it clicks open partially. Through the crack, you see her tall form in the dimming room. You instantly look into her visible eye as its dark browns bring you some joy at seeing them despite the reddened whites & puffed spots. All mostly faint, but you had developed a talent for reading people like an open book effortlessly. Instinctually, your arms lift to give her a playful squeezing gesture, suggesting a hug was greatly in order. It takes a moment for the physical offer to settle in for her until she shuffles from her room & embraces you thankfully. "Thank you, Y/N." Her low voice makes you chuckle. "No hay problema, mejor amiga. Now, let's hurry & get our plates before Camillo pretends to be one of us & takes ours as seconds." You both playfully race to the dining room where the rest of the family was just starting to gather, an extra seat being set beside Luisa's by Augustine. "We figured that you'd like to have dinner with us tonight." His hand lifts to the chairs as you & Luisa smile at each other.

Fanfic Friday #6
Welcome to Fanfic Friday! Each Friday I will post a new fanfic here and on A03. Enjoy x
Read and save it on A03 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/32370130
{Peter Parker’s Field Trip to Stark Industries}
Ships: peppertony, wandanat, sambucky
Warnings: mild anxiety, swearing
Status: married or dating
Wc: 3,281
“-and so that wraps up this lesson. Your homework is to do this worksheet, please hand a sheet back to everyone. I have a quick announcement, and it is very exciting. Given that this is one of the most advanced classes we offer, the school has arranged for us to have a field trip!”
Peter refocused on the word field trip. He didn’t have a good track record for those.
“We will be going to Avenger’s Tower! This is a very exclusive opportunity and you all should be very excited-”
No, no, no, no, this couldn’t be happening to Peter. Not now. Oh god. He had a suspicion this was set up by his basically-father. He was going to kill Tony. His teacher went on to blabber about permission slips and NDAs.
“Class dismissed. Please hand your forms in tomorrow as the field trip is on Friday.”
FRIDAY? How could it be so soon. Peter wanted to die. He headed for the door, but was stopped in his tracks by Mr. Blaze calling his name.
“Yes?” he said, turning around. The class had mainly cleared out by now.
“Peter, you're a good kid, and I understand not being the most popular student in school, but we need to talk about the lie you made up about working at Stark Industries.”
“But the internship is re-”
“This field trip is a great opportunity, and I do not want your lies ruining it for yourself or your classmates. Please do not mention it whilst we are there, or there will be serious consequences.”
“It’s a real intern-”
“Please Peter. You should know better than this. See you tomorrow.”
He was tired and fed up of school when he headed into the hallways to see his best friend.
“Hey,” Ned said, meeting him in the hallway.
“Hey,” Peter replied weakly.
“What’s up? Something happened?”
“Nah, just that field trip.”
“Oh the one to Stark Tower! It’s going to be so fun!”
“Right..”
“You’re not excited? I know you work there and stuff, but still.”
“Hmn uh yeah. No it was more Mr. Blaze being a bitch,” he replied, half lying.
“Still thinks you're lying about the internship?”
“Unfortunately.”
“Wanna come over to mine? Build some lego?”
“Nah, got to be home. Too much work to catch up on with all the patrolling I’ve been doing.”
“Gotcha. Well, see you tomorrow.”
“Yeah, yeah see you.”
Peter walked to the carpark expecting to find Happy in his black SUV. He was, instead, met by Black Widow.
“Nat?”
“Hey spider boy.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Figured I’d pick ya up and bring you home. Had a second free.”
He jumped into the passenger seat of the jet black convertible.
“How was school паук?”
“Не очень хорошо,” he said easily slipping into Russian. (Not very good)
“Зачем? что-то случилось? (Why? Did something happen?”)
“Да. У нас есть производственная практика в Stark Industries. Что было бы не так уж и плохо, но мой глупый учитель не думает, что я действительно проходил там стажировку, поэтому он отругал меня. Плюс мое паучье чутье сегодня сильно пошло на убыль.” (Yes. We have a field trip to Stark Industries. Which wouldn't be so bad, but my stupid teacher doesn't think I really have an internship there, so he told me off. Plus my spider sense were going off so much today.)
“бедный ребенок. Я могу чем-нибудь помочь?” (Poor kid. Anything I can do to help?)
“Убить Tony за это? (Kill Tony for setting this up?”)
“Нет, детка. Сожалею." (No can do kiddo. Sorry.)
“Разве ты не можешь рассказать другим Мстителям? Особенно папа.” (Can you not tell the other Avengers? ‘Specially Dad.)
“Я не обещаю.” (I won’t, promise.)
"Спасибо.” (Thanks.)
They’d arrived at the tower. There was more to it than he was telling. Ever since he’d moved into the tower, he’d been his safe space. It was his and his families. And he knew it was supid because so many people used it, but still. It felt awful for people from his school to come there. Peter pulled his security card out of his bag, scanning it.
“Peter Parker-Stark, clearance level Alpha 5, all access. Hi baby boss,” Friday, the building's AI called out, “Shall I tell Mr. Stark you’re home?”
“Yeah sure. I’m going straight to my lab, though.”
“Okay sir. Morgan would also like to inform you that she is looking for you.”
“Send her down to the lab.”
“As you wish.”
He hopped in the lift and allowed Friday to take him to floor 89. It was his personal lab. Oren, he’d reprogram Karen, allowed him entry through the glass door.
“Hello Peter, welcome back. What would you like to work on?”
“I’m going to do some work on my web shooters. Play my “workin after school” playlist on, please.”
“Yes, sir.”
He worked peacefully on his shooters design and mechanics for about 30 minutes before Oren alerted him that Morgan was coming up.
“Morgan Stark is requesting entry.”
“Granted.”
The door opened and revealed his basically little sister.
“Hey Mo,” he said, picking up the little girl, “Who let you roam around all on your own?”
“Mummy sent me up,” she smiled.
Peter nodded.
“What are you working on Petey.”
“I’ll show you,” he said, placing Morgan on his work table. He’d quickly made sure there was nothing that could hurt her.
“Web shooters?” she guessed.
“Yep. See I wanted to make them even more efficient so I changed the gears and trigger mechanism.”
She nodded knowingly. She was very smart for her age.
“Nice! Can we build our robot?”
“Sure thing. Oren, pull up the files for Petey-Pie and Morgana’s Robot.” He’d let Morgan handle the name for their creation.
Peter went and grabbed the box that had all their pieces in it. Being careful around the young girl, they continued to work on building the robot, Peter teaching her little things on the way.
So he had a normal evening. Did some fun work, some homework, ate dinner with the lunatics called the avengers, and went to bed.
“If it isn’t my two favorite small children!” Tony said, entering his lab.
“Daddy!” Morgan said, running into her father’s arms.
“Oren, I thought I told you to lock Dad out.”
“Unfortunately your father runs the building, so I could not follow your wanted protocol.”
“Love you too kid.”
“You set up the field trip.”
“Field trip?”
“Yeah. My school’s coming here on Friday!” Peter said, looking up from his work.
“Really? Nope wasn’t me. It was likely someone from PR, kiddo. You do go to one of the best STEM schools in the country.”
Tony had a point.
“Right...sorry.”
“It’s good, kid. What’s got you so wound up about it?”
“Daddy, I’m going to Mummy.”
“Okay kiddo, Friday take little Potts to bigger Potts,” he said with a smile.
“Yes sir.”
Once Morgan left, Tony asked again, “So wanna talk about it?”
“Just, just this is home. My home. And I know that’s stupid because it’s a fuckin 100 floor tower, but I know it. I know it so well, and I just don’t really want kids from my school here. I know I can’t gatekeep a building bu-”
“Hey, hey, it’s not stupid. It makes sense. This place is home and you don’t want them messing with any part of it. I bet most kids in your class wouldn’t love it if people came into their home for a field trip.”
“Yeah. And i-its my safeplace. From everything.” Everything being all the people he lost. His parents and uncle and aunt.
“I get it. Want me to have Pep cancel the trip?”
“N-no, no. All the kids in my class were so excited.”
“Always so selfless,” Tony smiled, “When is it again?”
“Friday.”
“Kiddo, I promise it’ll be fine. If anything, anything happens just get Fri to call me or Pep. Most of the avengers will be around too so you can call ‘em too.”
“Yeah. Thanks. They’ll just try to embarrass me, though,” Peter laughed.
“They will. Do I need to sign something?”
“I’m just going to have Mum do it because her signature is less recognizable.”
“Yeah, okay. Your teachers still don’t believe you?”
“How did you know th-”
“Come on kid, I’m Tony Stark.”
Peter smiled, “Fair enough. Yeah they don’t. I mean they will after the trip.”
“Yeah, that’s the bright side.”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, I’ll leave you to it then. Don’t stay in here too late.”
The night before the field trip he was so nervous. He ended up eating dinner in his lab. Pepper complained but Tony just told her he’d had a long day and deserved a break.
He knew he should have gone to bed but as each hour passed, he got more and more anxious about the trip. He needed something to take his mind off it, so he just kept working and working. Suddenly it was seven in the morning and he needed a shower. Finishing his eighth coffee of the eve, he headed to the 91st floor where he stayed. Hoping that neither of his parents would notice his all nighter he crept into his room.
After getting ready for school, he made his way back out of his room.
“Morning,” Pepper greeted him, “How was last night?” She wore a knowing smile as she continued to tap on her computer, presumably doing work.
“Fine,” he smiled, “Don’t tell dad.”
“I won’t. You're turning into him, though.”
“What else was expected?”
Pepper just smiled, “Sam and Bucky had loads of pastry delivered to the main kitchen if you wanna pop in there.”
“Yeah, sounds good. Thanks.”
“By sweetie, have a good day at school.”
“Thanks. Love you.”
“Love you too, hun.”
Peter jumped in the lift taking him up two floores to the Avengers hang out space.
“Spiderling!” Sam and Bucky greeted
“Old Man, bird boy,” he smirked.
“You look like shit, паук,” Nat said from the sofa.
“Thanks,” he said, putting a few of the delicious looking treats onto his plate. He also grabbed himself another cup of coffee. He plops himself down next to Nat on the sofa.
“Did you not sleep again? You look like hell.” Tony said, entering the kitchen to get himself another cup of coffee.
“Right back at you dad.”
“Fair.”
Steve entered, coming back from his run.
“Hey,” he said, addressing the room, “God kid, you look like yo-”
“OKAY NEXT PERSON TO TELL ME I LOOK SHIT IS GETTING IT!”
“Oh sorry,” Steve said, rolling his eyes. Clint came in with Pietro at his side, “What’s this about Peter looking shit?”
“I hate you all,” he said, finishing his last bite. He laid down on the sofa.
“Oh ah kid, something I needed to tell you. Right, you can stay here. No need to go to school and back. Pepper wrote a note saying you’d meet at the school because you had a doctor's appointment or some shit.”
“Why is spider boy here?” Sam asked.
“School field trip.”
“Only you Parker,” the White Wolf laughed.
“No embarrassing me, please,” he begged.
“Hell no, this is a great opportunity,” Sam said, looking over to bucky.
“I won’t,” Nat said with her hands up.
“I’m in, team embarrass Peter,” Clint said, high fiving Bucky and Sam. At that moment, Wanda walked in heading straight for her girlfriend’s arms. Nat happily let her fall into her lap.”
“What’s wrong with you?” Nat asked with some level of concern.
“Everything,” Wanda said.
“Drama queen,” Pietro scoffed. Peter closed his eyes and let the conversation happen around him. At some point, Tony had left. Clint had gone off to train with the Dumb and Dumber, and Steve claimed he had a mission brief.
Friday’s voice startled him, “Peter, I recommend you head downstairs as your class is arriving in 5.”
“Five what?” Peter questioned.
“Four,” The AI continued.
“A LITTLE MORE WARNING WOULD BE NICE!”
Peter grabbed his shit and jumped into the private elevator as fast as he could. Luckily, he was in the lobby mere moments before the class entered. He pretended just to be standing around.
“Peter,” Mr. Blaze called, “Please come and join the class.”
Peter nodded, spotting his best friend amongst the crowd.
“Hey,” Ned greeted.
“‘Sup.”
“Good morning everyone,” said the tour guild, “My name is Tamiko Hiroki and I will be taking you on your tour today. To start, I will be giving you all badges. When I call your name please step up and collect it.”
She made her way through the basket and by the time she was done only one student had not received a badge.
“Hey, Peter didn’t get a badge,” Cindy Moon, a kind girl in his physics class, called.
“Apologies, there doesn’t seem to be one in here for a Peter.”
“Uh I-i, I have m-my own. Thanks Tamiko.”
“Oh okay, cool. Please follow me to security.” The class seemed shocked. Was the kid telling the truth about his internship?
“So, there are many different levels of pass here. Guests get Beta levels 1-5 depending on what they are doing. Then there’s Omega’s who are interns and such. Next is the scientist and important employees with Zeta. Finally there’s Alpha for major important roles such as department heads. The top level, Alpha 5, contains the most important people like the Avengers who live in the tower and CEO Pepper Pots.
“Tamiko Hiro, Clearance level Beta 5.”
“Don’t worry everyone, that's Friday, the AI who runs the building. Just keep passing through.”
“Philip Maiko, Clearance level Beta 1.”
“Michelle Jones, Clearance level Beta 1.”
Peter headed towards the back, allowing all the students to go in front of him. He prayed they didn’t hear his security protocol. The rest passed through with Beta 1. Then, Peter came up.
“Peter Parker-Stark, clearance level Alpha 5, all access. Hi baby boss,” Friday, the building's AI called out, “Shall I tell Mr. Stark you’re home early?”
“I’m on a field trip, Fri. No need to tell D-Mr. Stark. Thanks.”
The class, once again, looked shocked.
“Why does Penis Parker have all access?” Flash called to Tamiko.
“I do not believe I have clearance to disclose that information, but Peter here may answer,” Tamiko said, glaring at Flash.
“I mean I’ve said it before. I am a personal intern of-”
“PETEY!” Bucky yelled, giving him a hug from behind.
Deflated, he responded, “Hey Buck.”
“Is that all I get?
The two settled on one of the many sofas in the lab. Pete’s head in Tony’s lab.
“Sorry about that, Pepper explicitly told all tours to stay off this level, but it seems as though her assistant made an exception because she thought it was okay as you were on the tour. Pepper fired her.”
Only his mum, “She didn’t have to do that.”
“She was furious.”
“Oh I’m sure.”
“I know this is your safe space, so-”
“It’s okay. No one came in.”
“Yeah.”
“You feeling any better?”
“Just tired. Thanks.”
“Always kiddo. You wanna go upstairs? Take a nap?”
“Sure.”
