Quirky representations of dementia should go die actually
#pardon me my friends i know I'm in a Good Mood today and will probably continue to be once I've taken some time to be mad/sad#but god the other night our ex-neighbour was obvs trying to comfort me#by talking bout a lady with dementia she knew who was onviously sick but in her mind she went out and did things and danced#and i was at the dinner table with my own sick lady#and therefore could not say honey. good for her i guess.#but my mum is almost aggressively trapped in her here and now#she doesn't know how to exist without us#her safe person is the husband her marriage was failing with#if we go out for five minute she panics and scratches at the door#she is sad and confused 95% of the time#content and confused the other 5%#and i can barely even visualise her as my mum anymore#because the mum who raised me would've killed herself if she knew this was coming#(like she used to tell me that. frequently tell her small child she'd rather kill herself than be unable to look after herself)#(which had a very normal impact on me I'm sure)#anyway. I'm a huge hypocrite and will still go and listen to marbles by the amazing devil and think it's the loveliest most romantic thing#and maybe some people do get lucky and find some joy in their minds when they have nothing else#but i have to just watch her brain fester and decay every day and there's just nothing quirky or beautiful about it#and all i can think is about how there's those mums who don't like raising small kids but enjoy parenthood when the kids are grown#and how that was supposed to be her#for a little while it was her#for a brief window of a couple of years she and i were each others best friend#and now she's this sad scared anxious thing shaped like my mum#who doesn't trust me as much as the man she was maybe a year or two out from leaving#and she's trapped in her brain and swiftly rotting#and it's just not cute and it's not funny#anyway#it is what it is#mr. bees speaks

Bucky put the truck in park once he arrived at the bar. It was a nice night, the air still warm enough that he had his window down on the drive over. He had to work a little later than usual and would’ve felt guilty missing dinner, but you had already made plans to go out with the girls. You still had a meal wrapped up and waiting for him once he finished out his day. Steve and the other boys were jealous of your home cooked meals and for good reason.
Always taking care of me, Sunbeam.
Now he had to take care of you.
The familiar sound of chatter and live country music greeted Bucky as he walked through the door. It was a slower night, but still crowded enough that he had to dodge a few people. Like many in the town, the two of you were regulars there and it was rare for you to be there without him. He tipped his hat when he made eye contact with Scott behind the bar, who nodded toward your usual table along the far wall.
"Bucky!" he heard you shout before he looked your way. "You're heeeeeeere!"
He wondered just how many drinks you had. Enough that you were feeling good, but not enough to get sick. You could hold your own.
"Now we can get the party started," he smirked.
What followed was a beautiful laugh as you stood up from your chair and he couldn't stop himself from staring. Your smile was like watching the sunrise and he felt lucky he was worthy enough to see it another day. You chose to wear one of his favorite sundresses and paired it with the perfect pair of boots, giving him a chance to appreciate your perfect body. He unconsciously licked his lips as he sauntered toward you and noticed you did the same.
"Seeeeeee, what did I tell you?" you asked the group at the table when he stopped a foot away from you. "I said I’d bag the hottest guy here tonight.”
"We know. We all know," Darcy playfully rolled her eyes at the other girls. "Bucky's hot and he has a big dick and you love him. Blah, blah, blah."
“I thought ladies didn't kiss and tell," Bucky smirked when you invaded his space.
"Oh, I stopped being a lady the moment you had your wicked way with me," you smiled sweetly. "You ruined me. Congratu-fucking-lations."
"Is that right?" he asked, knowing he'd never forget that night.
He'd also never forget to treat you like a lady.
He inhaled the sweet liquor on your breath when you framed his face and leaned in close. You didn’t quite kiss him, but you did smile when your lips ghosted against his. He yearned for more.
“It is right ‘cause I’m right. You’re hot and you do have a big dick you know it. You ruined me, mister,” you said, moving a hand to poke his firm chest. “And you're soooooooooooo cute. How’re you hot and cute? Explain.”
The laugh Bucky let out was enough to make your friends laugh along with him. You could be a sweet or feisty drunk depending on the mood. The last time you got feisty was when some out-of-towner tried to hit on him. You made sure to let her, and everyone else in the bar, know he was a taken man.
As if he could want anyone else when he had his Sunbeam.
“Just the way I'm made,” he smiled, placing his hands on your hips and lightly swaying you to the music. “Like I'm made to love you.”
You didn’t say “aww” along with your friends, but your gaze softened a bit more. He didn’t believe the bullshit that a man had to be silent or embarrassed about loving anyone. He loved you and he was going to say it as often as he could.
“Is that why you’re here tonight?” you asked, a dreamy smile on your face as you plucked his hat from his head and placed it on yours. The smile you gave him was one of his favorites. “'Cause you love me?
"Yeah, I am,” he smiled back, one reserved just for you. It was one of your favorites. “You called, so I came running."
Where you go, I go.
"Then it’s a good thing I'm ready to go home with you, handsome. But I'm warning you, I’m not planning on sleeping. Gonna keep me up from dusk to dawn," you said happily before a thoughtful look crossed your face. "Or is it dawn to dusk? Doesn't matter. You're fucking me. That's what matters."
"You know I gotta get up early tomorrow," he reminded you as he tried not to laugh.
He worked hard to keep the place running and so did you. The tasks wouldn't do themselves, but the enticing thought of your legs wrapped around him as he indulged in your wet heat was worth dragging a little tomorrow. He'd catch up on sleep later.
"Not the only thing that needs to get up," you said, smirking when the realization crossed his face. "Ohhhhhh. You picked up what I put down."
"Now you're just teasing me," he said.
You yanked him closer by his belt buckle. "Teasing you would be telling you I'm not wearing anything under this dress."
He groaned quietly, suddenly jealous of the chair you occupied before he showed up. "You want me to fuck you before we get home?"
He took pride in seeing a tremor wrack your frame. "You better, Bucky Barnes, otherwise I'm fucking myself."
Hot, but not tonight.
"Where?" he smirked.
"My pussy. That's where," you said without skipping a beat.
A random guy nearby drinking his beer might've heard the exchange since he began to cough. The two of you certainly had a way with words. He didn't care if the entire bar heard it.
"Oh, I'm fucking your pussy," he promised. It was a feat he didn't start to twitch in his jeans. "I meant where are we doing this."
You hummed as you contemplated. "Bathroom or truck bed."
The image of your pussy soaked and waiting for him to fill it took over his thoughts more and more. He wondered how much shit he'd get if he dragged you off to the bathroom. It wouldn't be the first time. Throwing inhibitions out the window was something he grew used to with you.
But the truck bed might be better. He could also least lay you down. Not the most romantic gesture, but also not the worst place two of you had fooled around.
The fun part would be deciding if it would be done in the parking lot or if he'd pull over on the way home.
"Truck it is," he announced as he pulled you away. "Say g'night, ladies."
"Yeah. Please, leave," Darcy teased.
You looked over your shoulder as the rest of your friends said their goodbyes. "G'night, ladies! I'm going home with that hottest guy in town. Don't come looking for me."
And I got the most beautiful, amazing girl in town.
"Take care of her!" Darcy yelled.
"He will! I'm his Sunbeam," you said proudly before you went out into the night air and leaned into him with a giggle. "Hey."
"Hey," he smiled back, keeping you against him.
"Did you hear me? I'm your Sunbeam," you whispered before you giggled. "I'm your girl! You know that, right?"
"Yeah, I know that," he chuckled at your happiness.
What you didn't know was that he had a ring ready for you so he could make it official. It wasn't fancy or flashy, but it was bright and beautiful. Like the sun.
Like you.
"Forever your girl?"
"Forever my girl," he replied, his voice thick when he put a hand to the back of your neck. "You'll always be mine, Sunbeam."
Butterflies fluttering from a kiss isn't just something that happened with girls. Because the second he put his lips against yours, he felt like he'd float away if you didn't keep him on the ground. Even with your tipsy gaze when he pulled away, there was so much love in your eyes. It was brighter than all the stars above you. It was unconditional.
And he wanted to treat you like he was still trying to win you so he'd never lose you.
"Promise?" you asked so softly he almost missed it.
"Even if the sun stopped rising tomorrow, you'd still be mine and I'd be yours."
You were it for him.
"Good," you sighed in relief before you began to drag him to the truck. "Now get inside me," you ordered.
"Oh, I will," he promised, watching your hips sway.
You didn't stumble once as you found the truck, You were an impressive woman. And he was so far gone for you.
I'm going to fucking ruin you.
He heard your sharp inhale from the words he didn't realize he said out loud. "Told you, Bucky. You already ruined me, but you can do it again," you said, tapping the top of your head. "And I'm keeping your hat on."
"Yes, ma'am," he chuckled, knowing those two words would send more shivers up and down your spine.
And he'd do a lot more than that before the sun came up.

Tumblr media
 Aegon’s never felt this way before. The swelling in his chest so unfamiliar when you smile softly at him, a smile you typically reserve for your husband, directed towards him across the table at dinner.
Your hair is down this evening, something you’ve only started doing recently. Foregoing the braids and just letting it fall down your back, it looks better with the way it frames your face when it’s down, Aegon thinks to himself. By the looks of it, Aemond thinks so to.
Aemond loves you, his sweet and kindhearted lady wife, so very deeply. At one point it would’ve made Aegon sick to his stomach to witness, willing him to throw up whatever . The way he dotes on you, holds your hand while you walk through the Keep, brushes your hair back when it gets in the way of your reading, tenderly rubs your face with his thumbs when you get excited while talking.
It still does make him sick to his stomach, just not in the same way it used to. No. This sickness crawls at his chest, a feeling so cold yet so hot, and his stomach twists into tight knots, hands clamp up and throat swells in an unfamiliar way. It makes him feel like he’s dying.
Perhaps he is. Maybe not having a love like the love you hold for Aemond will ultimately be what kills him. He’s sure Helaena could love him if he could show her any kindness. He doesn’t want that kind of love from Helaena.
Aegon’s eyes watch as Aemond continues his conversation with Jason Lannister, but hand reaches for yours as you speak animatedly with Helaena about something.
His ears are ringing as he grabs the cup full of wine and downs it in two gulps. Aemond’s hand squeezes yours twice, you smile at Helaena as you squeeze his back. The servant girl refills his cup for him, tearing his eyes away from your joined hands he looks to her.
Her hair is the same color as yours. Though, her eyes aren’t the same color, eyebrows aren’t the same shape, lips are quiet a bit smaller than yours. Her hand looks about the same size as yours, even if it is rougher and has callouses.
She will do. He supposes.
“What is your name?” He looks away from her as he asks, and her hold on the pitcher tightens.
“I’m sorry?” Her voice is shaky, she’s already annoying him.
His head snaps back to hers, eyes boring deeply into her own as the girl feels her blood run cold, “I asked you for your name.”
She looks around the table. Her eyes lingering at the Queen, his mother, Helaena, and you for a moment.
“My name is Elaine, my Prince,” He hums a bored tone before nodding.
“I will require wine in my chambers after dinner, Elaine.” His voice isn’t soft, and he doesn’t hide what he plans on doing later.
His mother looks furious, Helaena just looks down at her plate. You, however, you look almost disappointed. As if you couldn’t believe he would do such a thing, let alone in front of his own wife.
Aemond pulls your eyes away from Aegon, a frown adorning his face when he notices the grimace on your own. His eyes looks at the shame on Helaena’s and the anger on his mothers as she looks at his older brother before he puts together what must’ve occurred.
He clears his throat and gives lord Lannister a tight smile, “I must apologize, my Lord. My wife is quite tired today and seems to be ready to retire,”
The words are a courtesy, not much else, everyone at the table except Jason Lannister seems aware of that, “Can your lady wife not see herself to bed, my Prince?”
Aemond’s hand twitches at the implied disrespect, but it’s Aegon who speaks up, “Are you implying that that my brother should allow my Good Sister, his lady wife, to head to bed alone?”
Jason Lannister looks uncomfortable at the attention of the table now being on him, “I meant nothing of it, my Prince. I just meant a Lady can typically see herself to bed while her husband continues his evening,” He ends the statement with an awkward escaping his mouth at the heated eyes of the two Princes as well as the distressed eye of the Queen at the impending argument.
You clear your throat, dainty hand reaching for you husbands nervously, “Ah, yes, Lord Lannister. I am sure I could find my rest alone, however; my husband has been very tired as of late, and I require him to have an appropriate amount of rest.”
Aegon watches Lord Lannister like a hawk, demanding him to imply any further sort of insult to you. When the Lord stays quiet, averting his gaze to the Hand of the King, Aegon allows his eyes to travel back to you and Aemond, watching distastefully as he places his hand on the small of your back to lead you to your private quarters.
εїз
The servant girl, Elaine, doesn’t struggle when he grabs her waist and pushes her face down on his bed when she walks in. She knows what she’s here for, but Aegon can’t help but feel irritated she didn’t even bother to actually bring any wine. The lack of drink will make the experience harder for him, the more sober he is the more he’ll be able to realize the woman beneath him isn’t you.
She doesn’t struggle when he grabs her hair tightly, groaning when he thinks of it being you beneath him, his cock stirring to life at the thought of you being beneath him as he lets his imagination run wild.
She does, however, cry when his cock enters her. She isn’t nearly as wet as Aegon would like for her to be, but he can make do. It’s not like he truly cares much for her pleasure anyway.
When she gets to loud, he presses her face harder into the mattress and thrusts into her a little faster. Her sobbing ruining his mood, but not enough for him to stop.
He thinks of you. Your soft smile that you sent him at dinner, the way your eyes lit up when you spoke with Helaena as she talked about the twins, the way the neckline of your dress dipped almost too low to be considered modest.
Fuck, he can’t stop wondering what your bare chest looks like, if you like it when your nipples are sucked on, if you prefer being on top.
The thoughts of you have him cumming after a few more thrusts. When he pulls out, the sobbing maid stands shakily and looks to him, silently begging to be dismissed. He waves his hand towards the door after telling her to expect a visit from his mother.
εїз
Aegon doesn’t spend much time in the library, he’s never been one to care for learning any histories or reading silly stories, but he knows you do, which is maybe why after hearing Aemond would be gone for the afternoon he heads towards the library. Silently hoping for a moment alone with you, just to be in your presence for a mere moment before leaving the Keep for the remainder of the day until he’s drug back to the castle and more than likely forced into bed with Helaena.
When he turns a corner around a large shelf housing books, his eyes nearly pop out of his skull in surprise.
His eyes must be deceiving him, there is no way Aemond would have you in such a position where people could see you.
But he does.
Aegon feels like he’s intruding on something, and honestly he knows he is. But he can’t tear his eyes away.
Aemond has you pressed up against a bookshelf, one hand pressed against your chest to hold you in place. He’s under the skirt of your dress, though Aegon can’t see what Aemond is doing, he has an inkling of what’s going on beneath your skirts.
He’s heard whispers of your husband’s insatiable appetite for you, how maids would often be searching for you only to find you in a semi-public area with your husband’s head between your legs or roughly fucking you from behind. He’d thought they were lying, honestly. There was no way Aemond would doing such a thing, his self-righteous brother wouldn’t dare do such a thing to his sweet wife.
Apparently he does.
You’re biting your lip to keep any noises from coming out, whatever Aemond’s doing with his mouth beneath your skirts, you’re very much enjoying.
It’s not really the first time Aegon has seen the two of you in such a position, but never in a public place. Not that anyone but the two of you really visit this particular library.
Usually when Aegon watches, he watches from a distance. There is a balcony on a tower that if he stands at the right angle he can see in your room is his go to spot. Or, when he’s feeling desperate, he’ll hide in the tunnels of the Keep, standing outside the one leading to your room with his cock in his hand as he listens to your moans and pleas as Aemond fucks you harshly.
“Aemond,” Your voice is a breathy moan, it sounds like heaven.
Your hands rest at your sides, clenched tightly as your husband eats you as if you’re the last meal he’ll be allowed to have. Which Aegon can’t ever say it out loud, but he would do the same. He’s never been one for giving oral, but if he could live and breath between your thighs, he mouth would rarely leave your cunt.
Your moans have Aegon’s cock stirring to life beneath his pants as he watches. He doesn’t know how long Aemond has been committing the taste of you to his memory, nor how close you are to cumming, but if he had to guess you’re close.
Your body is tensing, hands gripping the edge of the bookshelf so tightly he wonders if it will break, moans getting louder and nose scrunching up. Chants of his brother’s name, Aemond, Aemond, Aemond leave your mouth is desperate, pitchy whines. Whole body shaking as his brother’s hand moves from your chest to take one of your own and intertwine your fingers.
The loving gesture has Aegon’s cock softening as he bites back a scoff. It’s easier for him to watch when Aemond has had a rough day, more interested in taking in the moment rather than giving. When Aemond is soft, it’s not as easy for him to remember who you are to him, who he is to his brother.
Your breathing evens out but your hand stays intertwined with his brothers, eyes still closed in the afterglow of your orgasm. Aegon decides to take his leave when he notices his brother moving under your skirt. He doesn’t want his mother to think any less of him than she already does; for not only lusting for is good sister, but for watching as his brother pleasures her.
He can always find you later, he supposes.
εїз
Aegon does find you later.
He finds you sitting in the Godswood, praying to the Old Gods just as you pray to the Seven in the Sept with Helaena.
“You pray to the Old Gods often, sister?” His voice startles you, a laugh slipping past his lips as you turn to him with wide eyes.
“Prince Aegon, you frightened me,” Your voice is as soft as it always is, steady as if not to show how much he actually frightened you moments before.
“Apologies, sweet sister,” He hums out, as he makes his way over to sit next to you in front of the weirwood tree, “I did not know your family had the faith of the Old Gods,”
You hum softly before glancing over at him, “During my time in Winterfell I became quite fond of their faith,”
Aegon feels his stomach turn sour at the mention of your time in Winterfell, when Cregan Stark had been the one your father had been leaning most towards for your betrothal, up until his grandsire and mother sent a letter offering Aemond’s hand.
“You spent a lot of time there?” He know how long you spent there, how fond you became of the North and the people, of Cregan. His brother spoke about the distaste he held for the Starks often after you had been moved here permanently as his.
“Hm, a little over a year, it was very different than Highgarden, and very different than here,” You trail off, talking highly of the North.
Aegon stops listening to your words, opting to watch the way your mouth moves as you speak. He doesn’t know what comes over him, maybe it’s the close proximity, or perhaps it’s the fact that it’s the first time you’ve actually been alone with him, he isn’t sure.
But one minute, your speaking and smiling, then the next, Aegon’s mouth is on your own. A gasp of pure shock escapes you, eyes wide in horror.
Your mouth is as soft as he imagined it would be, but you rip yourself away from him before he can truly savor the taste of you.
You look like you’ve been struck, eyes wide with tears lining them and mouth open in shock. Aegon’s throat tightens up at the look of betrayal on your face, “What have you done?”
His hands shake as he reaches for your own shaky ones, bile rising in his throat as you stand quickly and move to leave the area, more than likely to find your husband and tell him what his brother has done.
“Wait,” He rushes to follow you, “Wait! I’m sorry, fuck! I don’t know what came over me?”
His hand grabs your wrist, squeezing tightly as he turns you towards him, “I’m sorry. I don’t- Please don’t tell Aemond,”
You struggle to pull yourself away from him, causing his grip to tighten even more as he shoves you up against a nearby. You can feel it bruising, “Of course I am telling him! He is my husband, and you have dishonored me!”
He winces, “No, no I haven’t. I would never, you don’t understand. It was a mistake. I did not mean to,”
“You did not mean to? What was your intention then, Aegon?”
He sighs, frustration rising in him as he looks at you and your stupid, beautiful face, “I love you,”
Horror bleeds into your features, “No!”
A halfhearted laugh escapes him, “Indeed, my Lady,” he nudges his nose against your own, causing you to jerk away from him.
“Aegon-“
“Don’t say anything,” He whispers softly, mouth ghosting against your own, “Don’t ruin the moment.”
Tears fall down your cheeks as you look at the man before you. He’s smaller than his brother, but still bigger than you. And his nails are now digging into your wrist painfully, blood seeps through his fingertips.
You’ve heard the whispers, your own handmaidens doing their best to keep you from the older prince due to them. The whispers of how when he travels to the streets of silk, he requests women who look similar to you, or enough like you from behind. How your husband never allows you to be alone with his brother. You didn’t want to believe them, refused even.
You cannot ignore the words as they whirl around in your head now.
His face is in your neck, nose nudging at the junction of where your shoulder and neck meet as he inhales your scent and sighs.
“When I’m King, I could take you from him. I’ll get rid of him, rid myself of Helaena. Just you and me, sweet girl,”
Your ears are ringing, fear rushing through your veins as you begin struggling against him as sobs escape you, “Please let me go, Aegon. Please don’t hurt me,”
The fear that bleeds through your words cause him to rip away from you, as if your touch burned him. He looks as if he’s actually seeing you for the first time since he kissed you.
Your face is wet with tears and snot, hair slightly disheveled from the struggle, wrist bruised and bleeding from where he was gripping you. It shames his to watch you struggle to catch your breath, you are obviously struggling heavily with what he’s done, and his veins are on fire looking at you. He’s disgusted with himself as he feel his cock harden at your appearance.
“I’m, fuck, I’m sorry,” He’s sorry he hurt you, but he’s not sorry about much else. He knows your going to tell Aemond, and he won’t be lying when his brother comes to confront him. He may be a pig, but he can’t bring himself to dishonor you or imply you a liar.
He watches as your wipe your face, watching him wearily as you slowly leave, surly rushing to find a handmaiden to help you clean yourself up.
He decides to go to his room and wait for Aemond to visit him, or his mother. He supposed it’ll be whichever you run into first.
εїз
Aemond feels his blood boiling as he marches from your room to Aegon’s. Fury flooding his veins as he grinds his teeth together.
The state he found you in was heartbreaking, blood on your wrist still flowing as you cried and sobbed out what had happened before getting on your knees and clinging to him like a child, begging him to not be angry with you.
Anger was never an emotion Aemond felt like he could possess towards you. After all, you’re his sweet, sweet wife. He loves you.
Aegon, on the other hand, is a different story. He knows that no matter how bad he wants to, he can’t kill his brother. He wishes he could, but his mother would be furious if he did so.
He dismisses the guards as he walks into his brother’s room. Aegon stands, preparing himself for a fight immediately, only to be caught slightly by surprise as his brother gives him a once over and then starts laughing.
Aemond laughs, an actual humor filled laugh, “I’m sorry, truly, this is just so fucking funny,”
Aegon flushes, a deep red covering his face, “What?”
“Are you fucking stupid?” Aemond grits out through clenched teeth, “She is my fucking wife. My wife!”
Aegon loathes the tone in Aemond’s voice, the way he’s talking down to him as if he’s actually done something wrong, which he knows he has. But it’s not as if he raped you.
“I am painfully aware, brother-“
“No, you spoiled fucking cunt, I don’t think you are,” Aemond pushes him up against the wall harshly. “And, quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck if you are or not.”
Aegon rolls his eyes, “I know she is your fucking wife, Aemond.”
Aemond’s hand is on Aegon’s throat before the bitter sentence spits its way out of his mouth, squeezing in a threatening manner, but not tight enough to choke him fully. If Aegon hadn’t pissed him off, and if he couldn’t see the look in his brother’s eyes, Aegon could assume he was jesting.
“If I find you even breathing near her again, I’ll cut your fucking cock off and feed it to Vhagar. You dishonor our mother, you dishonor your wife, I will not allow you to even think about attempting to dishonor mine just because you’ve decided you want her,”
It’s not a time to pick at him, Aegon knows this, yet the words come out anyway, “And yet you fuck her anywhere you can get your hands on her, that is a bit dishonoring, do you not think? Hm, little brother?”
Aemond’s fingers squeeze at Aegon’s neck, “I will fuck my wife anywhere I please, brother, because I am her fucking husband.”
He rips his hand from Aegon’s neck when he starts turning slightly purple, “I pity you, Aegon.”
Aegon growls and considers lunging at him, “I don’t want your fucking pity,”
Aemond huffs out a laugh, “No, but you do want my fucking wife. And you cannot have her,”
A fit of rage fills Aegon as he watches his brother laugh at him, “When I become King, I could annule your marriage to her, and take her for myself,”
Aemond’s face is hard again, eye gleaming in a deep anger, “If you attempt to do anything of the sorts,  you will be disappointed when I turn to our older sister and back her claim,”
Aegon knows it was a low blow, and he truly never would annule your marriage to his brother. He wouldn’t want to have you against your will, despite what people say about him.
His head falls slightly, “I wanted her, at one point.”
He’s never admitted it out loud to anyone of importance, when you’d come to court with your father all those years ago, been kind to everyone you’d met, Aegon had been taken with you. A small similarity the two brothers shared despite their many differences.
He’d heard his father speak to his sister about how you’d be a good match for her son, a true Queen you’d be one day. He silently hoped his mother would try to take you from Rhaenyra and give you to him, and he’d been partially right.
His mother did fight for a marriage for her son, Aemond. While Aegon was stuck marrying his unhinged sister, his crippled brother would be given your hand if your father agreed.
Sometimes he wonders if he would have turned out different if he would’ve spoken up, but he knows he’ll never know. Aemond would probably kill you if it meant saving you from the horrors that you would most likely live if Aegon took you. His sexual appetite alone would never be satiated, Aegon knows Aemond would see it as doing you a favor.
“I know,” Aemond’s words surprise Aegon. “You know?”
“I’m not stupid. I see how you look at her, how the whores and servants you tend to ask for look like her. I know you watch when I take her,”
Aemond’s words should bring Aegon shame, but they don’t, “I am not sorry,”
It’s clearly stated, the clearest thing he’s said to Aemond in years, if they had been closer Aemond may have cared.
“And I am not sorry, either.” His hurt tone hurts Aegon’s heart, but it doesn’t hurt it more than knowing that he’ll have to watch you be with Aemond for the rest of his life. “She is my wife. You have a wife. If for whatever reason you are still unsatisfied, you have plenty of whores at your disposal, find one that looks enough like my wife to state you,”
Aemond closes his eye takes a deep breath, a look in his eye that Aegon does not recognize when Aemond looks back at him, “If you touch her again, if you draw blood from her body again or tears from her eyes, I’ll take your fucking head and gift it to her. I won’t see you near her again. I may not be able to kill you right now for harming her, but do not take this as me letting this go. You are lucky our mother loves you, because if she didn’t I would not let you live for what you’ve done. If it happens again-“
Aemond cuts himself off and shakes his head, giving his brother one final bitter look before storming out of his chambers.
As he watches Aemond walk away, Aegon’s bitter feeling molts into something deeper. His brother is right, he does have whores satiate him, plenty of them can look like you. He can shove their faces into whatever surface is near and pretend it’s you under him.
Aemond will ruin this for himself, Aegon knows it deep down, feels it in his bones. He knows Aemond is only possessive because he knows how unworthy he is of you; he’ll slip up somewhere. And when he does, when he does somehow ruin things with the pretty little rose from Highgarden in an unmendable way, and only then; Aegon will step in and show you a new form of undoubtful devotion.
Aegon will be King, a fact everyone but his cunt of a sister knows. But you? He’ll worship your body and fill you with his son before Aemond even knows what hit him. You’ll be the Queen.

Aegon’s never felt this way before. The swelling in his chest so unfamiliar when you smile softly at him, a smile you typically reserve for your husband, directed towards him across the table at dinner.
Your hair is down this evening, something you’ve only started doing recently. Foregoing the braids and just letting it fall down your back, it looks better with the way it frames your face when it’s down, Aegon thinks to himself. By the looks of it, Aemond thinks so to.
Aemond loves you, his sweet and kindhearted lady wife, so very deeply. At one point it would’ve made Aegon sick to his stomach to witness, willing him to throw up. The way he dotes on you, holds your hand while you walk through the Keep, brushes your hair back when it gets in the way of your reading, tenderly rubs your face with his thumbs when you get excited while talking.
It still does make him sick to his stomach, just not in the same way it used to. No. This sickness crawls at his chest, a feeling so cold yet so hot, and his stomach twists into tight knots, hands clamp up and throat swells in an unfamiliar way. It makes him feel like he’s dying.
Perhaps he is. Maybe not having a love like the love you hold for Aemond will ultimately be what kills him. He’s sure Helaena could love him if he could show her any kindness. He doesn’t want that kind of love from Helaena.
Aegon’s eyes watch as Aemond continues his conversation with Jason Lannister, but hand reaches for yours as you speak animatedly with Helaena about something.
His ears are ringing as he grabs the cup full of wine and downs it in two gulps. Aemond’s hand squeezes yours twice, you smile at Helaena as you squeeze his back. The servant girl refills his cup for him, tearing his eyes away from your joined hands he looks to her.
Her hair is the same color as yours. Though, her eyes aren’t the same color, eyebrows aren’t the same shape, lips are quiet a bit smaller than yours. Her hand looks about the same size as yours, even if it is rougher and has callouses.
She will do. He supposes.
“What is your name?” He looks away from her as he asks, and her hold on the pitcher tightens.
“I’m sorry?” Her voice is shaky, she’s already annoying him.
His head snaps back to hers, eyes boring deeply into her own as the girl feels her blood run cold, “I asked you for your name.”
She looks around the table. Her eyes lingering at the Queen, his mother, Helaena, and you for a moment.
“My name is Elaine, my Prince,” He hums a bored tone before nodding.
“I will require wine in my chambers after dinner, Elaine.” His voice isn’t soft, and he doesn’t hide what he plans on doing later.
His mother looks furious, Helaena just looks down at her plate. You, however, you look almost disappointed. As if you couldn’t believe he would do such a thing, let alone in front of his own wife.
Aemond pulls your eyes away from Aegon, a frown adorning his face when he notices the grimace on your own. His eyes looks at the shame on Helaena’s and the anger on his mothers as she looks at his older brother before he puts together what must’ve occurred.
He clears his throat and gives lord Lannister a tight smile, “I must apologize, my Lord. My wife is quite tired today and seems to be ready to retire,”
The words are a courtesy, not much else, everyone at the table except Jason Lannister seems aware of that, “Can your lady wife not see herself to bed, my Prince?”
Aemond’s hand twitches at the implied disrespect, but it’s Aegon who speaks up, “Are you implying that that my brother should allow my Good Sister, his lady wife, to head to bed alone?”
Jason Lannister looks uncomfortable at the attention of the table now being on him, “I meant nothing of it, my Prince. I just meant a Lady can typically see herself to bed while her husband continues his evening,” He ends the statement with an awkward escaping his mouth at the heated eyes of the two Princes as well as the distressed eye of the Queen at the impending argument.
You clear your throat, dainty hand reaching for you husbands nervously, “Ah, yes, Lord Lannister. I am sure I could find my rest alone, however; my husband has been very tired as of late, and I require him to have an appropriate amount of rest.”
Aegon watches Lord Lannister like a hawk, demanding him to imply any further sort of insult to you. When the Lord stays quiet, averting his gaze to the Hand of the King, Aegon allows his eyes to travel back to you and Aemond, watching distastefully as he places his hand on the small of your back to lead you to your private quarters.
εїз
The servant girl, Elaine, doesn’t struggle when he grabs her waist and pushes her face down on his bed when she walks in. She knows what she’s here for, but Aegon can’t help but feel irritated she didn’t even bother to actually bring any wine. The lack of drink will make the experience harder for him, the more sober he is the more he’ll be able to realize the woman beneath him isn’t you.
She doesn’t struggle when he grabs her hair tightly, groaning when he thinks of it being you beneath him, his cock stirring to life at the thought of you being beneath him as he lets his imagination run wild.
She does, however, cry when his cock enters her. She isn’t nearly as wet as Aegon would like for her to be, but he can make do. It’s not like he truly cares much for her pleasure anyway.
When she gets to loud, he presses her face harder into the mattress and thrusts into her a little faster. Her sobbing ruining his mood, but not enough for him to stop.
He thinks of you. Your soft smile that you sent him at dinner, the way your eyes lit up when you spoke with Helaena as she talked about the twins, the way the neckline of your dress dipped almost too low to be considered modest.
Fuck, he can’t stop wondering what your bare chest looks like, if you like it when your nipples are sucked on, if you prefer being on top.
The thoughts of you have him cumming after a few more thrusts. When he pulls out, the sobbing maid stands shakily and looks to him, silently begging to be dismissed. He waves his hand towards the door after telling her to expect a visit from his mother.
εїз
Aegon doesn’t spend much time in the library, he’s never been one to care for learning any histories or reading silly stories, but he knows you do, which is maybe why after hearing Aemond would be gone for the afternoon he heads towards the library. Silently hoping for a moment alone with you, just to be in your presence for a mere moment before leaving the Keep for the remainder of the day until he’s drug back to the castle and more than likely forced into bed with Helaena.
When he turns a corner around a large shelf housing books, his eyes nearly pop out of his skull in surprise.
His eyes must be deceiving him, there is no way Aemond would have you in such a position where people could see you.
But he does.
Aegon feels like he’s intruding on something, and honestly he knows he is. But he can’t tear his eyes away.
Aemond has you pressed up against a bookshelf, one hand pressed against your chest to hold you in place. He’s under the skirt of your dress, though Aegon can’t see what Aemond is doing, he has an inkling of what’s going on beneath your skirts.
He’s heard whispers of your husband’s insatiable appetite for you, how maids would often be searching for you only to find you in a semi-public area with your husband’s head between your legs or roughly fucking you from behind. He’d thought they were lying, honestly. There was no way Aemond would doing such a thing, his self-righteous brother wouldn’t dare do such a thing to his sweet wife.
Apparently he does.
You’re biting your lip to keep any noises from coming out, whatever Aemond’s doing with his mouth beneath your skirts, you’re very much enjoying.
It’s not really the first time Aegon has seen the two of you in such a position, but never in a public place. Not that anyone but the two of you really visit this particular library.
Usually when Aegon watches, he watches from a distance. There is a balcony on a tower that if he stands at the right angle he can see in your room is his go to spot. Or, when he’s feeling desperate, he’ll hide in the tunnels of the Keep, standing outside the one leading to your room with his cock in his hand as he listens to your moans and pleas as Aemond fucks you harshly.
“Aemond,” Your voice is a breathy moan, it sounds like heaven.
Your hands rest at your sides, clenched tightly as your husband eats you as if you’re the last meal he’ll be allowed to have. Which Aegon can’t ever say it out loud, but he would do the same. He’s never been one for giving oral, but if he could live and breath between your thighs, he mouth would rarely leave your cunt.
Your moans have Aegon’s cock stirring to life beneath his pants as he watches. He doesn’t know how long Aemond has been committing the taste of you to his memory, nor how close you are to cumming, but if he had to guess you’re close.
Your body is tensing, hands gripping the edge of the bookshelf so tightly he wonders if it will break, moans getting louder and nose scrunching up. Chants of his brother’s name, Aemond, Aemond, Aemond leave your mouth is desperate, pitchy whines. Whole body shaking as his brother’s hand moves from your chest to take one of your own and intertwine your fingers.
The loving gesture has Aegon’s cock softening as he bites back a scoff. It’s easier for him to watch when Aemond has had a rough day, more interested in taking in the moment rather than giving. When Aemond is soft, it’s not as easy for him to remember who you are to him, who he is to his brother.
Your breathing evens out but your hand stays intertwined with his brothers, eyes still closed in the afterglow of your orgasm. Aegon decides to take his leave when he notices his brother moving under your skirt. He doesn’t want his mother to think any less of him than she already does; for not only lusting for is good sister, but for watching as his brother pleasures her.
He can always find you later, he supposes.
εїз
Aegon does find you later.
He finds you sitting in the Godswood, praying to the Old Gods just as you pray to the Seven in the Sept with Helaena.
“You pray to the Old Gods often, sister?” His voice startles you, a laugh slipping past his lips as you turn to him with wide eyes.
“Prince Aegon, you frightened me,” Your voice is as soft as it always is, steady as if not to show how much he actually frightened you moments before.
“Apologies, sweet sister,” He hums out, as he makes his way over to sit next to you in front of the weirwood tree, “I did not know your family had the faith of the Old Gods,”
You hum softly before glancing over at him, “During my time in Winterfell I became quite fond of their faith,”
Aegon feels his stomach turn sour at the mention of your time in Winterfell, when Cregan Stark had been the one your father had been leaning most towards for your betrothal, up until his grandsire and mother sent a letter offering Aemond’s hand.
“You spent a lot of time there?” He know how long you spent there, how fond you became of the North and the people, of Cregan. His brother spoke about the distaste he held for the Starks often after you had been moved here permanently as his.
“Hm, a little over a year, it was very different than Highgarden, and very different than here,” You trail off, talking highly of the North.
Aegon stops listening to your words, opting to watch the way your mouth moves as you speak. He doesn’t know what comes over him, maybe it’s the close proximity, or perhaps it’s the fact that it’s the first time you’ve actually been alone with him, he isn’t sure.
But one minute, your speaking and smiling, then the next, Aegon’s mouth is on your own. A gasp of pure shock escapes you, eyes wide in horror.
Your mouth is as soft as he imagined it would be, but you rip yourself away from him before he can truly savor the taste of you.
You look like you’ve been struck, eyes wide with tears lining them and mouth open in shock. Aegon’s throat tightens up at the look of betrayal on your face, “What have you done?”
His hands shake as he reaches for your own shaky ones, bile rising in his throat as you stand quickly and move to leave the area, more than likely to find your husband and tell him what his brother has done.
“Wait,” He rushes to follow you, “Wait! I’m sorry, fuck! I don’t know what came over me?”
His hand grabs your wrist, squeezing tightly as he turns you towards him, “I’m sorry. I don’t- Please don’t tell Aemond,”
You struggle to pull yourself away from him, causing his grip to tighten even more as he shoves you up against a nearby. You can feel it bruising, “Of course I am telling him! He is my husband, and you have dishonored me!”
He winces, “No, no I haven’t. I would never, you don’t understand. It was a mistake. I did not mean to,”
“You did not mean to? What was your intention then, Aegon?”
He sighs, frustration rising in him as he looks at you and your stupid, beautiful face, “I love you,”
Horror bleeds into your features, “No!”
A halfhearted laugh escapes him, “Indeed, my Lady,” he nudges his nose against your own, causing you to jerk away from him.
“Aegon-“
“Don’t say anything,” He whispers softly, mouth ghosting against your own, “Don’t ruin the moment.”
Tears fall down your cheeks as you look at the man before you. He’s smaller than his brother, but still bigger than you. And his nails are now digging into your wrist painfully, blood seeps through his fingertips.
You’ve heard the whispers, your own handmaidens doing their best to keep you from the older prince due to them. The whispers of how when he travels to the streets of silk, he requests women who look similar to you, or enough like you from behind. How your husband never allows you to be alone with his brother. You didn’t want to believe them, refused even.
You cannot ignore the words as they whirl around in your head now.
His face is in your neck, nose nudging at the junction of where your shoulder and neck meet as he inhales your scent and sighs.
“When I’m King, I could take you from him. I’ll get rid of him, rid myself of Helaena. Just you and me, sweet girl,”
Your ears are ringing, fear rushing through your veins as you begin struggling against him as sobs escape you, “Please let me go, Aegon. Please don’t hurt me,”
The fear that bleeds through your words cause him to rip away from you, as if your touch burned him. He looks as if he’s actually seeing you for the first time since he kissed you.
Your face is wet with tears and snot, hair slightly disheveled from the struggle, wrist bruised and bleeding from where he was gripping you. It shames his to watch you struggle to catch your breath, you are obviously struggling heavily with what he’s done, and his veins are on fire looking at you. He’s disgusted with himself as he feel his cock harden at your appearance.
“I’m, fuck, I’m sorry,” He’s sorry he hurt you, but he’s not sorry about much else. He knows your going to tell Aemond, and he won’t be lying when his brother comes to confront him. He may be a pig, but he can’t bring himself to dishonor you or imply you a liar.
He watches as your wipe your face, watching him wearily as you slowly leave, surly rushing to find a handmaiden to help you clean yourself up.
He decides to go to his room and wait for Aemond to visit him, or his mother. He supposed it’ll be whichever you run into first.
εїз
Aemond feels his blood boiling as he marches from your room to Aegon’s. Fury flooding his veins as he grinds his teeth together.
The state he found you in was heartbreaking, blood on your wrist still flowing as you cried and sobbed out what had happened before getting on your knees and clinging to him like a child, begging him to not be angry with you.
Anger was never an emotion Aemond felt like he could possess towards you. After all, you’re his sweet, sweet wife. He loves you.
Aegon, on the other hand, is a different story. He knows that no matter how bad he wants to, he can’t kill his brother. He wishes he could, but his mother would be furious if he did so.
He dismisses the guards as he walks into his brother’s room. Aegon stands, preparing himself for a fight immediately, only to be caught slightly by surprise as his brother gives him a once over and then starts laughing.
Aemond laughs, an actual humor filled laugh, “I’m sorry, truly, this is just so fucking funny,”
Aegon flushes, a deep red covering his face, “What?”
“Are you fucking stupid?” Aemond grits out through clenched teeth, “She is my fucking wife. My wife!”
Aegon loathes the tone in Aemond’s voice, the way he’s talking down to him as if he’s actually done something wrong, which he knows he has. But it’s not as if he raped you.
“I am painfully aware, brother-“
“No, you spoiled fucking cunt, I don’t think you are,” Aemond pushes him up against the wall harshly. “And, quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck if you are or not.”
Aegon rolls his eyes, “I know she is your fucking wife, Aemond.”
Aemond’s hand is on Aegon’s throat before the bitter sentence spits its way out of his mouth, squeezing in a threatening manner, but not tight enough to choke him fully. If Aegon hadn’t pissed him off, and if he couldn’t see the look in his brother’s eyes, Aegon could assume he was jesting.
“If I find you even breathing near her again, I’ll cut your fucking cock off and feed it to Vhagar. You dishonor our mother, you dishonor your wife, I will not allow you to even think about attempting to dishonor mine just because you’ve decided you want her,”
It’s not a time to pick at him, Aegon knows this, yet the words come out anyway, “And yet you fuck her anywhere you can get your hands on her, that is a bit dishonoring, do you not think? Hm, little brother?”
Aemond’s fingers squeeze at Aegon’s neck, “I will fuck my wife anywhere I please, brother, because I am her fucking husband.”
He rips his hand from Aegon’s neck when he starts turning slightly purple, “I pity you, Aegon.”
Aegon growls and considers lunging at him, “I don’t want your fucking pity,”
Aemond huffs out a laugh, “No, but you do want my fucking wife. And you cannot have her,”
A fit of rage fills Aegon as he watches his brother laugh at him, “When I become King, I could annule your marriage to her, and take her for myself,”
Aemond’s face is hard again, eye gleaming in a deep anger, “If you attempt to do anything of the sorts,  you will be disappointed when I turn to our older sister and back her claim,”
Aegon knows it was a low blow, and he truly never would annule your marriage to his brother. He wouldn’t want to have you against your will, despite what people say about him.
His head falls slightly, “I wanted her, at one point.”
He’s never admitted it out loud to anyone of importance, when you’d come to court with your father all those years ago, been kind to everyone you’d met, Aegon had been taken with you. A small similarity the two brothers shared despite their many differences.
He’d heard his father speak to his sister about how you’d be a good match for her son, a true Queen you’d be one day. He silently hoped his mother would try to take you from Rhaenyra and give you to him, and he’d been partially right.
His mother did fight for a marriage for her son, Aemond. While Aegon was stuck marrying his unhinged sister, his crippled brother would be given your hand if your father agreed.
Sometimes he wonders if he would have turned out different if he would’ve spoken up, but he knows he’ll never know. Aemond would probably kill you if it meant saving you from the horrors that you would most likely live if Aegon took you. His sexual appetite alone would never be satiated, Aegon knows Aemond would see it as doing you a favor.
“I know,” Aemond’s words surprise Aegon. “You know?”
“I’m not stupid. I see how you look at her, how the whores and servants you tend to ask for look like her. I know you watch when I take her,”
Aemond’s words should bring Aegon shame, but they don’t, “I am not sorry,”
It’s clearly stated, the clearest thing he’s said to Aemond in years, if they had been closer Aemond may have cared.
“And I am not sorry, either.” His hurt tone hurts Aegon’s heart, but it doesn’t hurt it more than knowing that he’ll have to watch you be with Aemond for the rest of his life. “She is my wife. You have a wife. If for whatever reason you are still unsatisfied, you have plenty of whores at your disposal, find one that looks enough like my wife to state you,”
Aemond closes his eye takes a deep breath, a look in his eye that Aegon does not recognize when Aemond looks back at him, “If you touch her again, if you draw blood from her body again or tears from her eyes, I’ll take your fucking head and gift it to her. I won’t see you near her again. I may not be able to kill you right now for harming her, but do not take this as me letting this go. You are lucky our mother loves you, because if she didn’t I would not let you live for what you’ve done. If it happens again-“
Aemond cuts himself off and shakes his head, giving his brother one final bitter look before storming out of his chambers.
As he watches Aemond walk away, Aegon’s bitter feeling molts into something deeper. His brother is right, he does have whores satiate him, plenty of them can look like you. He can shove their faces into whatever surface is near and pretend it’s you under him.

Aegon will be King, a fact everyone but his cunt of a sister knows. But you? He’ll worship your body and fill you with his son before Aemond even knows what hit him. You’ll be the Queen.

Coming Home (Part 8)
Azriel x Reader
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six | Part Seven
Just saying again if I’ve accidentally missed you off the tag list, please drop me a message and let me know! I don’t want to miss anyone ❤️
Warnings: Nah. I think we all know I eat angst for breakfast by now. 🫣
A week later, your only relief was keeping busy.
Day in and day out, you threw yourself into the world of your work, lost yourself in the glorious art that was magical healing. Every minute of the day was filled with walk-ins at the clinic, or the more urgent home visits you travelled out to. And come evening time, when the patient footfall thinned out into nothing, you crushed herbs and mixed ingredients until you were healing your own cuts, your own burns, making salves and tonics and long-forgotten medicinal recipes that were fading on the pages of the dusty old book you so often buried your nose into. 
Anything to keep your thoughts off of him. To keep that ache from ripping you open inside.
That evening, like every other over the past week, you hid yourself away in your little back room. It had become a solace of sorts, a place that was yours to linger in for as long into the night as you needed. Sometimes you even slept there.
You wiped a sheen of sweat from your brow as you drained the water from the herbs you’d been boiling. Lost in the punchy aromas and the steam creating a shroud around you, you just about jumped out of your skin when you turned to find a figure in the doorway. You winced as a few droplets of boiled water sloshed over the rim of the ceramic pot, spraying your arm.
“Shit.” Lucien marched over, easing the pot from your hands and placing it on the counter. “Sorry — I did knock. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s nothing.” You wiped your hands on your apron, the sting already gone. “What brings you here?”
“I was on my way to that family dinner I’ve been so generously invited to. Thought I’d drop by here and offer to walk you there.”
Shit — you’d forgotten about the dinner you’d agreed to. And thus, forgotten to come up with a good excuse as to why you couldn’t attend. You knew you wouldn’t be able to avoid these things forever, but to see Azriel so soon — to sit across the table from him and act like everything was fine — was a prospect that made you feel sick.
Lucien seemed to notice your hesitation. He frowned. “Is something wrong?”
“No.” You quickly said — you really didn’t feel like explaining the Azriel situation right now to anyone; even him. “No, I just…forgot. Uh…I’ll clean myself up.”
“Good idea. You have a little…” He reached out a strong, broad hand, the pad of his thumb brushing just beneath your eye. “There. Some sort of powder.”
With a somewhat nervous laugh bubbling up your throat, you brushed past him, his touch still tingling on your face. 
You didn’t see the point in fixing your appearance beyond the basics of dusting yourself down and throwing your hair up that had begun to curl in the humidity of the room. You discarded your apron, shucking your jacket on, and turned to Lucien expectantly.
You snorted as you found him sniffing at the various different pots of salves and tonics, a frown pinching his face. You pointedly cleared your throat. 
“If you’re done shoving that pregnancy prevention tonic up your nose,” You gestured to yourself. “Do I look presentable?”
One side of Lucien’s mouth kicked up into a delicious smirk. “Ravishing, Lady Healer.”
You prolonged the walk to the house as much as you possibly could, dragging your feet slowly and keeping Lucien lost in conversation. It reminded you how easy it had been to be around him before — how the gaping chasm inside you didn’t ache quite so badly as he regaled you with wicked stories that drew genuine laughter from you.
You were undoubtedly late, though — and that much was obvious when you could put off the inevitable no longer, and you entered Rhys and Feyre’s home. 
Everyone was already seated at the table when you and Lucien strolled through, mid-laughter. They each looked up with raised eyebrows, taking the sight of you in.
Azriel’s was the only gaze you didn’t meet, no matter how badly your eyes wanted to stray to him.
Your laughter died in the expectant silence, and you cleared your throat. “Apologies for the lateness. I got…held up. At the clinic.”
It didn’t occur to you, in the moment, how those two words — held up — may have been construed, given the appearance of the situation. That you and Lucien had wandered in later than everyone else, talking and laughing and flushed from your walk in the brisk air. You took your usual seat beside Mor, reaching for a glass. 
“Can we eat now?” She pouted. “I’m starved.”
“Yes.” Rhys replied, his eyes not moving from you. “We can.”
Rhys’s hard gaze wasn’t the only one trained on you throughout dinner. 
Elain sat directly opposite you, and you were surprised she actually managed to eat anything, with how intently she stared at you. Glared at you. If she was trying to make you uncomfortable, it was working.
“All I’m saying,” Cassian said from across the table, cutting into his dessert, “is that it’d be pretty cool to have a Night Court pet. A mascot, of sorts.”
Amren narrowed her eyes at him, draining her glass. “Where are you going with this, you stupid boy?”
“A cat. I think we should get a big, Night Court cat. A black one.”
The verbal sparring between Cassian and Amren, through all three courses of food, had been dinner entertainment in itself. Kept you distracted enough that Azriel was simply a shadow in your periphery, and nothing more. 
And Lucien had helped, of course — like he could sense that you needed easing. His reassuring glances from the chair on your other side, his quiet comments in your ear that had you laughing to yourself, had all been the comforting presence you’d needed.
“Perhaps we should get a cat.” Amren hummed. “It can replace you, Cassian. And probably provide us with more stimulating conversation, too.”
Lucien leaned down to your ear, his breath tickling your skin as he murmured, “He can join our band of rejects.”
The laugh that broke from your throat was so loud, so sudden, that everyone turned to look at you. Lucien pulled away, clearing his throat.
Shifting in your seat, you pushed your plate away from you. You’d barely touched a morsel of food all night.
“If we’re done eating.” Rhys said, his hard, violet eyes on you. “Perhaps we should move to the sitting room.”
Hums of agreement sounded around the table, and you didn’t hesitate to stand up from your chair. This was the perfect opportunity to make an excuse and retire early — to leave the heavy, pressing atmosphere that was making your chest uncomfortably tight.
You opened your mouth to announce you were leaving, but your brother turned to you, holding out an arm. 
“A walk around the garden, Y/N?” He asked. The fact that nobody else said a word was indication enough that there was intent behind the innocent suggestion.
Still, he was your brother — and you barely got to see him anymore, partly through your own doing. You smiled tightly and linked your arm through his.
“Save some whiskey for me.” Rhys called over his shoulder, leading you out.
The two of you strode in silence for a while. 
The night was peaceful, if not uncomfortably cold in your thin clothing. Content, playful snippets of conversation occasionally floated out of the house and reached your ears. The floral scents that drifted through the air were pleasant, soothing, reminding you of simpler times.
You would have felt blissful if you didn’t have warring emotions eating you up from the inside.
Rhys slowed to a stop beside a flowering shrub, his fingers toying with the petals of a soft purple flower. “Y/N.” He said quietly. “What’s going on?”
You stared at him, willing an expression of cluelessness onto your face. “What do you mean?”
“I mean,” His jaw ticked, “I mean with you and Lucien.”
Gods, you were already tired of this conversation. You felt yourself bristle as you folded your arms.
“Oh, don’t give me that look, Y/N.”
You cocked an eyebrow. “What look would that be?”
“Like you don’t know what I’m talking about.” His tone was sharp, biting — verging on angry. “Everyone was aware of you leaving your party with him. I overlooked it because I knew you were overwhelmed. But afterwards, I found out you had…history with him. And then tonight, the two of you turn up late together after doing the Mother knows what—“
“I’d thank you,” You interrupted with a snap, “to watch what you’re insinuating, brother.”
“You were sat directly opposite his mate, Y/N, while he was whispering in your ear.”
“Elain doesn’t even acknowledge him!”
Rhys whipped round to face you so fast, he tore the flower from the shrub. It floated from his fingers to the ground. “Your opinion on their bond is completely irrelevant. He is a mated male, to a female in our family, our court. You will not interfere with that.”
You clenched your jaw. “Since when do you involve yourself in other people’s relationships?”
Your brother stared at you, his lips slightly parted. Slowly, he shook his head. “You truly have no idea, do you?”
“About what?”
“About what I have to deal with!” His voice was almost a shout. “This isn’t about involving myself in relationships. This is about my duties as a High Lord. Our relations with many of the other courts are already stretched at best. If they sense conflict from within our court, our family, it will be used against us.”
“Conflict?” You repeated. “For fuck’s sake, Rhys, Lucien is my friend. If Elain has a problem with that—“
Your words were stopped short as Rhys marched over to you. He cut an intimidating figure, towering over you and gripping both your shoulders in his firm hands. 
“Do you know what they say about you in the other courts?” He shook you. “Do you? They talk about the Night Court High Lord’s flighty younger sister who cannot settle in any one place. Who moves from court to court, taking lovers and doing as she pleases. Who was fucking and drinking to her heart’s content while the whole world went to shit.”
“I,” You snapped, shoving him off, “was healing mortals and helping rebuild villages and lives that our kind were destroying. And I wanted to come home, to find some way to help — you told me to stay away!”
“Yes, because I couldn’t let Amarantha get to you! I knew she’d use you to get to me and I couldn’t let that happen!”
“So you can’t hold it against me, Rhys—“
“I’m not holding anything against you.” His tone was low, dangerous, his face moulded into one fitting for the Court of Nightmares. “But I have duties. Important ones that cannot be compromised. Stay away from Lucien.”
You stared defiantly up at him, your arms crossed over your chest. “Are you saying that as my brother? Or as my High Lord?”
“I’m saying it as a gentle warning as your brother. But if I have to pull rank to keep things on the straight and narrow, I will.”
“Gentle.” You scoffed. 
That single action of yours seemed to incense Rhys beyond anything else.
“Do you even realise what hell we went through? The things we had to endure? I barely survived!” He spat, his wings flaring behind him. “But those dark days are behind us, Y/N. We’re trying to rebuild, to regain strength. And I can’t have you making poor decisions and breaking us apart from within. I cannot have you bringing shame down on our court!”
He may as well have slapped you.
You felt your breath hitch in your throat. Felt your clenched fists uncurl themselves. Felt the cold slither of hurt snake its way through you until it was chilling your bones and turning your blood to ice. You’d fallen deadly still.
Rhys knew immediately what he’d said. The realisation seemed to drain his anger from him instantaneously. His eyes shuttered, his jaw loosening. “I shouldn’t have said that.”
“Shame?” Hot tears pricked at your eyes; you blinked them away. “Is that how you feel about me, Rhys? Ashamed?”
“No, look, that’s not what I meant—“ He was scrambling for words as he reached for you, his face, his eyes, infinitely softer — the expression you recognised as your brother. “I just—“
But you were stepping away from him, shaking your head. Wiping your eyes. You didn’t want to hear another word he had to say. 
“Y/N—“
“Wow.” You laughed bitterly, shooting your brother one last, scathing glance. “Congratulations, High Lord. You truly sound like our father.”
Vicious, vicious words that you knew would hurt more than anything, but you were beyond caring. You turned, running back up the steps to the house and sweeping through on a wind built of your own anger, your own hurt. You didn’t know whether you wanted to scream or cry. Maybe both. 
As you passed the rest of the Inner Circle gathered in the main sitting room, you didn’t spare a single one of them a glance. Even though they could see the tears spilling over and rolling down your cheeks. Even though you looked seconds from breaking completely.
You held your head high, and you left.

Stupidity
⁠♡ Hwoarang x (fem) Reader ⁠♡
♡ Drabble ♡ Wordcount: 622 words ♡
Summary: Your cocky ass boyfriend came back home with a few bruises and cuts on his face.
♡ dividers by: @saradika-graphics ♡
Tumblr media
You were waiting for Hwoarang to come back for dinner, it has been 10-15 minutes and he hasn’t arrived home yet. You stood up from the dinner table with a sigh escaping your lips, looking at the clock above you, “Just where the hell are you, you idiot?” 
A sound of a door unlocked alarmed you as you rushed over to the hallway and gasped out of  shock, seeing that Hwoarang arrived in his messed up state. Some parts of his face were covered in bruises, a knife cut on the right cheek which was dripping blood down to his chin. Hell, he’s got another cut at the right corner of his forehead. 
“What the fuck happened to you, Hwoarang?!” You shouted in worry, cupping his face to take a closer look at him. Not too rough since he’s a little hurt. Hwoarang sighed with a scowl, “Nothing! I’m fine!” you could feel the obvious lie coming from his mouth, you didn’t appreciate his tone towards you. 
“Don’t give me that fucking attitude, mister!” You dragged him to the front room to clean his face and to disinfect the little cuts on the cheek and forehead. Looks like your man got some explaining to do while you sort his cocky face out and put some ointment on his minor bruises. 
ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ
So apparently Hwoarang got into a big aggravating fight with a group of street gangsters. It’s insane how he managed to beat the shit out of them all on his own. How it all happened; One of the street gangsters bumped into Hwoarang and demanded him to apologize WHEN that bastard should be the one apologizing to Hwoarang. Your boyfriend was so furious, he threw a roundhouse kick towards the man and the rest of the street gangsters started to rush against him. Hwoarang struck them down without hesitation. 
“So there’s that..” Hwoarang slammed his hands onto the table along with his eyes rolled in frustration. You put his empty plate away in the sink and began to wash them, shaking your head at his brashful behaviour, “You are such an arrogant bastard sometimes, Hwoarang..” 
“Hey! They fucking started it!” 
“...I was worried sick, Hwoarang. I thought something terrible happened to you..” your tone changed sentimentally. You moved your hands away from the sink and began to dry them with a clean tea towel. 
Hwoarang noticed the sudden change in your voice, there are times where he always seems to make you worry a lot. Especially when it comes to problematic situations and getting into a lot of fights with street gangs outside. He walked up to you, holding your hands as his softening gaze became locked on yours, “Look, I’m sorry. It was stupid. I couldn’t help it. Guys like them always seem to find a way to bite me in the back. They piss me off so much and-” 
You shut him up by pressing your lips on his, gripping his shoulders as you deepened the kiss. Hwoarang scooped you into arms and pulled his head away for a moment, “So does that mean you forgive me?” 
You giggled, pecking a soft kiss at the right corner of his lips, “Honestly, sweetie, I don’t know what to do with you at times.” 
“Sorry for making you worry, babe.” 
“It’s all good, sweetie..” You caressed the side of his face tenderly, a gentle-warming touch giving Hwoarang a flush. You pulled yourself away from him and said, “You know…you can make it up to me by sorting your clothes out in the wardrobe..” you cooed, walking off in a speeding manner with a chuckle. You legged upstairs as he chased you from behind, “Oh come on baby! Cut me some slack!”

emily is your sugar mummy
erm mainly spice ?
more of a plot filler.
part 2
Tumblr media
i heard the ping on my phone and quickly glanced at it, seeing emily’s message pop up. i excused myself from the table, sliding away from my parents nosy glares and headed to the bathroom.
e - you have half an hour to be at my apartment or they’ll be consequences.
i gulped. i was busy, there was no way i was getting there in half an hour. not a chance. and consequences? what consequences?
y/n - i’m busy. can it be 2 hours?
her reply came through almost instantly and i didn’t really want to look.
e - 2? are you having a laugh? i said half an hour. be there in 30 minutes.
y/n - emmmm, i’m at dinner with my parents.
e - and?
y/n - and i can’t just leave !
e - you have half an hour little lady.
she went offline then and my heart sped up even higher. even if i left now i won’t be there in half an hour, not with the dinner time traffic. i walked out of the bathroom and slid back into the seat beside my mother.
“you look awfully pale,” she said in her typical British accent.
“oh, erm,” i muttered, lowering my head. “i don’t feel too good.”
“would you like to skip dinner today darling? maybe rearrange for tomorrow or when you feel better?” my father asked. i looked up at him and nodded meekly.
“what? no! we leave in a few days and she can’t get over her silly sickness for some food?” my mother asked my father, whispering in her stupid angry whisper.
“she needs to enjoy herself. she can’t enjoy herself is she’s feeling poorly, would you like her to make a mess in public?”
“any daughter of mine can control themselves!” my mother said, voice raised. i rolled my eyes, set down my napkin and got up. i wasn’t going to let her talk about me like that - sick or not.
“where do you think you’re going?” she asked, slamming down her own knife and fork.
“to control myself,” i smiled. “good day, mother.” i nodded my head at her and walked out of the restaurant, quickly hailing a taxi.
it got to 30 minutes and i wasn’t there. we were still round the corner and i felt my heart hammer in my chest. consequences. i paid the taxi man and climbed out of the car, knowing it would be quicker to walk than sit in the traffic.
i slid into the elevator and pressed the top button. of course emily has the pent house. well, one of them.
i knocked on her door, awaiting her answer and tapped my foot anxiously. god, what was she going to do with me. i could hear her behind the door and i gulped as she approached it. i heard the lock click and then the door opened, just a crack.
her brown eyes peered round the door and her greying hair dropped down -
“can i help you?” she asked.
“i’m sorry i’m late,” i muttered. she sighed and opened the door more. she stayed rooted to the spot though, not allowing me to enter. she checked her watch, sitting humbly on her wrist.
“i said 30 minutes not 34 minutes.”
“i know! i tried to get here as quick as possible!” i whined. she sighed and moved to the side, letting me in.
i slid under her arm and waited in her hallway. it had been a week since we had had sex and to be honest, i was expecting her to pin me against the wall but she didn’t. instead, she put her hand on the bottom of my back and walked me through her apartment to the living area.
“sit down,” she ordered. i sat with no hesitation, confused on what was happening. “would you like a drink, some biscuits?” she asked me and i grew more confused. i shook my head and she sighed.
“you know i expect verbal answers, y/n.” i gulped again and gave her a polite ‘no thankyou’ to which she nodded.
she sat opposite me, leaning back in her chair and crossed her ankle over her knee. i, sitting on the edge of the seat, was full of anxiety.
“i have a proposal.” she said quietly.
“what’s that?”
“i have this work thing,” she whispered, moving her hands all over the place. “next week.”
“okay?”
“i need you to be my plus 1,” she said, looking at me through her eyelashes.
“really?” at the start, we agreed we’d keep everything private. no one was to know who i was, no one was to know who she was. as the unit chief for the bau, i understood that - she had high stakes in her job and she needed to be respected but now this?
“thursday. everyone is taking their partners. Luke and JJ suggested i bring, you,” she said.
“they know about me?”
“they know i have a close friend,” she said gently, sitting up. “y/n, it’ll be a busy night. i’m hoping people will be too busy to question our relationship. all you need to do is look pretty and hang off my arm,” she smiled, leaning forward in her seat.
i gave her a side eye, thinking it over. my feelings for emily prentiss had never gone away and now i had to pretend to be in a relationship with her? god.
“400 if you agree,” she muttered, pulling out the money from her pocket. my eyes bulged. 400?!
“emily, that’s a lot,” i whispered, backing off slightly.
“and im asking a lot from you sweetheart,” she said gently.
“i don’t need 400,” i told her, shaking my head.
“that doesn’t mean i won’t give it to you. you’re my baby, i’ll pay you as i like it.
do you agree to join me?” she asked, rising to her feet. i gulped and nodded. she took my hand and smiled, brining me to my feet.
“good, 530 on thursday - be here ready to get ready,” she whispered, planting a kiss onto my forehead.
she dropped my hand and went to walk to the front door.
“you text me when i’m in the middle of dinner with my parents, making me come and you won’t let me stay?”
she tutted, turning on her feet. “you still underestimate me, darling.” she pulled out the drawer by her front door and pulled out a red key. i gulped.
slowly, she walked down the hallway but i didn’t dare follow her. i heard the key in the lock, turn twice and the door click open. the light buzzed as it fired up and goosebumps rose on my skin.
“take them clothes off little girl,” she said, down the hallway. i instantly began stripping off, my shoes, my socks, everything.
when she came round the corner, she had the pink rope in her hands, a devilish smirk on her face.
“why am i punishing you?” she whispered slowly as she reached me. she dragged her nails down the front of my stomach as the rope tickled my sides.
“i was late,” i replied.
“i don’t like people being late,” she told me again. she quickly grabbed both my hands and pinned them behind my back. i felt the rope tie around them and she worked her magic, working it up my arms and over my shoulders. the next thing i knew, my arms were supported behind my back and rope dug into my curves. emily stood back, examining her work before leading me through the house.
i stood in the doorway of the locked room, taking it in. for once, i couldn’t wait to be punished.

Blue Sunday
Pairing: Joel Miller x fem!reader (plus platonic Ellie Williams x fem!reader)
Author’s note: I love a big happy family <3
Summary: “You are here to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart.” - Louise Erdrich aka Ellie calls you mom for the first time
Warnings: fluff, time jump (Charlie is 5, Ellie is 21, and JJ is 2), talk of deceased loved ones (Anna, Sarah, Jane), Charlie being curious, Ellie being a good mom, Jesse’s alive!!
Tumblr media
"Bellie, I have a question," Charlie announces from her place next to Ellie at the dinner table. Joel smiles at the nickname and leans forward to watch his girls interact. 
"I have an answer," Ellie says. 
"Why do you call mommy and daddy by their grown-up names?" She asks, and the table freezes. You knew this question would come up eventually, but you didn't think it would hit you as a rapid-fire question from your five-year-old.
"You know how sometimes we talk about how you lived in my belly, and JJ lived in Auntie Dina's belly? Well, Ellie didn't live in my belly. She lived in someone else's belly." You explain. Charlie nods as she listens and looks between you and Ellie. 
"Who?"
"A very nice lady named Anna." 
"Anna," Charlie tries the name on her tongue. "Anna is Ellie's mama?"
"Yep."
"Why doesn't Anna live with us?" She asks, her eyes full of curiosity. You look to Ellie, unsure of how much of her story you're allowed to tell. Ellie puts her fork down and folds her hands together.
"Do you remember how we talked about Sarah and Jane?" Ellie asks, and Charlie nods. "Do you remember how we talked about the tattoo Cat did for me?" Again, Charlie nods, before reaching out to trace the ink on Ellie’s forearm with her little fingers. "Well, my mommy got hurt in the same way I got hurt when I was little, but my mommy got really sick, and she died."
"That's sad." Charlie frowns. 
"It is, but she made sure I was safe. When I got hurt, your mommy and daddy found me and brought me all the way here to Jackson to get medicine. Then, they got married, and then they had…" Ellie trails off and points to Charlie for dramatic effect.
"Me!" Charlie yells, and she laughs.
"Yeah, that's right. So, even though my mommy died, I was okay."
"Because my mommy and daddy were your mommy and daddy for a little bit?" She asks, and Ellie takes a deep breath, looking at you and Joel. 
"Yeah. Yeah, they were. That's why we're sisters."
"Do you remember…" Charlie trails off, scowling as she searches her brain. 
"Anna?" Joel supplies, and Charlie lights up.
"Yeah! Anna! Do you remember your Anna mommy?" She asks, crawling into Ellie's lap to play with her bracelets. Ellie takes it in stride, tucking Charlie's hair behind her ears. 
"No, I don't remember my Anna mommy, but I know she was funny and kind and a badass just like me," Ellie says. You don't have the heart to correct her swearing, especially in such a sweet moment with Charlie. You just sit and watch.
"So, you call mommy and daddy by their grown-up names because you have an Anna mommy in Heaven just like I have Sarah and Jane sissies in Heaven?"
"Mhm."
"Does your Anna mommy take care of my Sarah and Jane sissies?"
"I hope so." Ellie hums as she wipes crumbs from Charlie’s shirt.
"Oh," Charlie says. "When are Auntie Dina and Uncle Jesse gonna come over with JJ?" She transitions seamlessly, and you laugh. The mind of a five-year-old will forever be an elusive one. You get through the rest of your family dinner without a hitch, although you have to admit that you miss Dina, Jesse, and JJ, too. 
It's hard to get everyone together, especially with Ellie splitting her time between her own little family and us. Every Friday, the motley crew of parents switches off where they go for dinner. Some Fridays, JJ, Dina, Ellie, and Jesse go to Dina's mom's house. Some Fridays, they all go to Jesse's parent's house before finally coming to yours and Joel's. It's pretty complicated, but they have a system. The other three couldn't come this time because Jesse unexpectedly got assigned a patrol shift, JJ got the flu, and Dina didn't want to risk giving it to Charlie. But Charlie practically begged to see her sister, so she made the solo journey out. 
Once you're done with dinner, Joel gets Charlie ready for bed while you and Ellie do the dishes together. You didn't ask her to, nor do you expect her to when she comes over, but she always takes a place next to you at the sink. She tells you about JJ's birthday party coming up and how difficult it's been trying to find a time that fits all sides of the family. You tell her about how Charlie's doing at school and how she's taken a particular interest in music, one you're sure was influenced by Ellie and Joel. 
"I'm sorry for what Charlie asked about at dinner. I had no idea." You say as you walk with Ellie towards the front door once the dishes are all dry and put away. She waves you off.
"No, it's okay. She's smart. I didn't realize how much she understood," she says, and you nod, tucking your hands into your back pockets. "She has a point, though."
"About what?" 
"Maybe… I should start calling you and Joel my parents. At least until she's old enough to know the whole story. Same thing with JJ. I mean, he already asks for Grandpa Joel." She explains hesitantly, wringing her hands as she talks. You smile at the nervous habit and take a deep breath, processing her request.
"I'd really like that," you say, and she smiles back. "But do I have to be Grandma? I mean, I'm old but not that old." 
"No. I'm sure Jay will come up with a cool, non-old name for you. Plus, he's already got Dina and Jesse's moms," she says, furrowing her eyebrows as she thinks. "And two moms and a dad. And an aunt that's really not that much older than him. Oh, god," she scrubs a hand down her face, and you laugh. "I'm going to have to explain so much to him."
"Welcome to the club," you grab her jacket off the hook and hand it to her. "You're a really good mom. I hope you know." You say, and Ellie blushes as she pulls the jacket over her shoulders. 
"I've learned from the best." She says, and your heart feels like it could burst. You pull her close and hug her tightly like you always do when she gets ready to leave. You never thought you'd miss the days when she was just down the hallway, playing guitar loudly or gossiping with Dina in the late hours of the night. You kiss her temple and squeeze her. 
"I love you, kiddo."
"I love you, too, Mom."

BunBun’s Spoop-tober Collection Masterlist / Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
It was the Samhain, All Hallow’s Eve…Halloween. A storm raged on outside, but you could still feel the moon’s power from behind the clouds. The storm itself actually made you feel calm, content, knowing you were safe for the night in your cozy cabin. You’d put out an extra place setting on your table and even dribbled some candy across it just for fun. You were planning a mute supper of the delicious smelling stew bubbling away in your crockpot (much more convenient than a cauldron, in your opinion).
Cooking was your specialty in magic, infusing spells and potions into food to help absorb them faster, and strengthening the effect. Tonight, you were testing a new potion to infuse with the stew; made to keep you warm and give you strength through the cold winter months. After dinner, you planned to cozy up to by the warm fire and tuck in with a collection of scary stories with some Nina Simone records.
 Suddenly, a loud banging noise outside the door made you jump. At first, you thought it was just the storm, but you heard someone hollering, you rushed and threw open the door, fearing it was some poor lost soul. Instead, there stood a mountain of a man.
Tall and stocky with a wide brim hat doing its best to keep rain off his face where dark blue eyes peered at down at you. Soft pink lips pursed in a thin line were framed by 5 o clock shadow. He wore a black windbreaker with a shiny gold star pinned to his chest. You knew him; Lee Bodecker, the sheriff of the local mortal town just outside the wood.
                “Evening ma’am, may I come in?” Wiping your hands on your sweater and crossing your arms over your chest, you eyed him suspiciously. However, you couldn’t sense anything too malicious about him. You stepped back, letting him enter and watching as he easily crossed your threshold. You knew your dwelling was protected from negative forces. You’d made well and sure of that.
                 “Is there something I can help you with?” you asked as you shut the door, not wanting any trouble and trying to be polite. You knew sometimes the teenagers of the town came into the woods to drink or fuck, especially on Halloween night. You’d hoped the storm would keep them away, but if the sheriff was here, maybe something had happened.
                “Wellness check, ma’am. I got a call from some little old lady that said she knew there was a woman living in the woods. She wanted to make sure you hadn’t been flooded out.” He explained. A smile spread across your lips as you breathed a silent sigh of relief.
 There was a woman whose farm backed up almost into the woods. Since her husband died a year ago, a few times a week you would go and help her with some of the chores; and she would give you milk, eggs, and fruits and veggies from the farm. You would also bring her soup and healing herbs when she was sick. She wasn’t aware of your powers, but always thanked you when she remarkably felt better the next day. Of course she called it in; knowing where your house was after you’d brought her there for tea one afternoon.
                “Well, I appreciate you coming all this way Sheriff-”
                “Lee, please” He interrupted. Your skin bristled a little at the interruption, but you nodded gently at him, knowing mortal men could be a little brash sometimes.
                “Lee.” You continued. “But I really am alright. Can I offer you some tea or something for your trouble? I did just mix up some stew.” You’d heard stories about the sheriff, the town hero, who seemed to always be in the right place at the right time. But you were always suspicious of things that were too good to be true. It was your nature as a witch.
However, the man HAD come all the way into the woods in a storm just for one little old lady’s request.  He must have something resembling a heart, you reasoned. You decided to give him some nice warm, strong, stew and slip a little forgetfulness potion into his coffee; then send him on his way, never to remember this place. You could return to your cozy evening.  No harm done.
                “Coffee would be appreciated if you have it.” Lee requested. “And that stew sure does smell good.”
“Have a seat.” You gestured to the chair at your small round table, only fit to hold 3 chairs, 2 of which already had a place set. Lee sat down at the one without, setting his hat down on the table.
“Can I take your coat?” you offered.
“Thank you kindly.” He took his coat off, handing it to you before setting his hat on the table and sitting across from the set place as you hung his coat by the fire. Going back to the kitchen cupboard and grabbing a mug and a bowl. You shook some grounds into a filter, infusing your forgetfulness spell.
Filling the coffee machine with water, you pressed the buttons and let it brew.  You ladled a healthy serving of stew into the bowl and carefully placed it in front of him. He dug in as you sat across from him and tried to think of anything to say. You never had mortal company, only the nice lady who liked to knit and read, just like you; But Sheriff Bodecker didn’t seem the type to knit. Finally, he cleared his throat and asked you.
                “You uh…live alone out here? You had another place set.” He gestured to the table. “Your husband leave you all alone out here?”
                “Of course not.” You answered and he seemed taken aback. “Well, I mean… I don’t have a husband. But I’m not alone. The animals live out here too. And the plants. And my books.” The burbling of the machine caught your attention. “Do you take anything in your coffee? You asked him as you went to pour it into the mug.
“No thank you, ma’am.” He answered. “This stew is absolutely delicious.”
“Thank you, kindly.” You beamed as you set the mug down in front of him. “And I must admit the place setting is more of…personal thing. It’s a Halloween tradition to set a place for those who you have lost in the past.”
                “That’s mighty sentimental of you. Though I’ve never heard of that one. Where’d you learn that?” Lee asked.
“Oh I uhm. I read about in a book.” You said, technically not lying. You just didn’t mention it was a magic book.
“I see.” Lee looked around the room. “You sure do have a lot of books.”
                “Yes, well, sometimes I find the company of the books better than that of people.” You joked, looking to the coffee and hoping Lee would take a sip soon. You looked back at him but his body suddenly seemed a lot closer, his leg resting between yours, leaning against your right knee.
                “Ah c’mon people aren’t too bad. Look at me for example, I wanted to make sure you were okay.” Look at him you did. He was decently handsome. Strong arms and a well-built frame. He was heavier set than other men, but you kind of liked that. You knew food was a comfort and you would rather people knew too much than not enough. Even the face you’d been suspicious of when he arrived had a more homely charm as he slurped up the last of his stew. He took a swig of coffee, then turned to face you fully.
“Mmmmm…damn…That’s the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. And I just love the taste of the forgetfulness potion you added.”  Your heart dropped into your stomach.
                “What did you say?” He didn’t answer, only leaning back in his chair. He blinked and where crystal blue eyes had seemed to make him handsome and rakish; now were two inky black pits. He blinked again and his eyes were human again, but now his irises were crimson red.
You took a deep breath, trying to steady yourself. You’d dealt with a few lower-level demons in your travels, but never someone who you could walk through your house’s defenses so easily. Usually, any malevolent force was neutralized before it even touched your house. But he…he was something darker.
“I’d heard about a pretty witch living out here in the woods.” Lee continued. “Thought it was just another one of them dippy mortals wearing peace signs. But then that little old lady came in, bringing some brownies she said you’d made. And when I tasted them, I knew for sure. There was a real little witch somewhere in town.
“Though it took me a while to find ya, darling. All them wards and runes…you’ve kept yourself pretty well hidden. But when that same sweet little old lady called in, worried about her friend in the woods, I knew I’d found you and here you are. Hidden away from the world, cooking up spells your nose buried in a mountain of books. All that defensive magic and you opened the front door for me and invited me in. Silly girl.” His eyes raked over your body, studying you.
“Damn, you are something pretty. You got a name, sweetheart?” But your lips tightened. You didn’t want to say another word to him, fearing what else he might be hiding. “Oh, come now, darling. I won’t bite.” But his wolfish grin spoke otherwise.
 You told him your name in the strongest voice you could muster, trying to think of a plan to drive him out. As if reading your mind, Lee gently shook his head.
“Now let’s not do anything foolish sweetheart. I don’t want to get too nasty with you.” He warned.
“What-what DO you want then?” you asked. Lee paused for a moment, reaching across the table to grab a piece of candy, unwrapping it slowly and staring into your eyes as he placed the candy in his mouth, licking his lips as he chewed and swallowed.
“Quite frankly, darling…you. You’re clearly pretty good with the magic, and you’d be even more so with a little training. I’ll have all the power I need. See, I’ve been living like a king for years, feeding off the darkness of the souls in this town.”
“Darkness…?” The woman from the farm was always talking about how wonderful the town was, how safe it was…all because of him.
“Oh yes, sweetheart. There is a darkness in this here town. Seems half the people are born just so they can be buried. And I’ve managed to feed off of it for years. You’d be surprised how many people will give truly anything to get what they want. Sometimes they surprise me, just wanting basic mortal shit they could get if they tried a little harder. But some of them want to watch the world burn. They offer their souls and what happens? The town sheriff stops their crimes before they’ve even started. I look like got damn hero and never have to lift a finger.” He grinned wide. “All the praise of the good people feeding my pride. All the sin of the others feeding my powers.”
“But why…why do you need me?” You asked, meekly. His smile faded and his jaw clenched. His steely gaze and making you shiver and squirm in your chair.
“The good people have started to question me. Why I haven’t settled down with a wife...  And if the good people are questioning me, I can’t clean up the filth in the town. See, I’m thinking about a run for state senator, maybe even governor. And the higher up the ladder you climb, the darker people will get. I can’t do that without a little lady with me to keep me in their good graces.” He stood up now, his hand on the table, leaning in close to you, but you managed to shove the chair away and rushed to the sink, grabbing the sharpest knife you had and pointing it at him. But Lee only shook his head and smiled.
“Now what are you gunna do with that, huh? You certainly don’t have it in you to use it” He mocked, stepping closer to you. He let out a low groan. “And that’s exactly why I want you. Your innocence, and your kind heart are exactly what I need. Someone to look good for the town, show off at all the little local town events, and keep my bed warm at night.” He licked his lips. “So, here’s the deal. You keep my bed warm and my stomach full, and I'll keep the town safe; keep being the hero.” He was standing in front of you now; still holding the knife in your trembling hands as you shook your head. Lee reached up, grabbing the knife like it was nothing, and throwing it somewhere.
Blood ran down his hand but he made no move to wipe it off. Instead, he grabbed your wrists and pinned them to the cabinets behind you, his lips thundering down upon yours in a harsh and punishing kiss. He bit your lip, making you gasp, giving him a chance to force his tongue into your mouth. Your eyes widening as you swore the end of it was forked. When he pulled away, you were gasping for air. He leaned in close to your ear, his breath hot on your cheek and neck.
 “Maybe you didn’t understand me clearly in that dumb little brain of yours, but I could ruin this town. Your poor little old lady friend? Out on the street. Your library? Closed. I could stand back and make you watch this town suffer. Or you can be my good little housewife.” He leaned back to look at you, his eyes soulless black pits.
 “Or maybe I'll take you out to the town square. And show them what you really are. Some mortals around here get scared, they start getting jumpy…and pretty scary themselves.” Your breath hitched; you knew some mortals, even as time moved forward, who still got too scared of what they didn’t understand and could get violent quickly. It was one reason you kept yourself hidden. “So, what’s it gunna be, little witch?” You stared back at him, your breathing shallow.
 In a flash of quick thinking, you thought to the holy water in your cabinet, and it manifested in your hand. You managed to dump it on his hands, and he roared in pain, letting you escape. If you could make it to the bedroom, your sacred room, you might be able to ward him out, or at least escape to somewhere else.
You were steps away from the threshold when you were suddenly wrenched back and slammed against the wall. Your hands were pinned above your head and your legs were spread wide. You heard Lee down the hall; his heavy footsteps getting closer and closer until he stood directly in front of you.
                “Tsk tsk tsk. Just couldn’t make it easy could you? But that’s okay, Nothing worth having ever is.”
                “But…how…no other magic works in my space…” you stammered. But he only chuckled, relishing in your fear as you struggled against the bond, studying you like a work of art.
“Seems to me you’re in MY space now.” As you fought to free yourself, you realized he was right; nothing in the house, none of your powers were working. “Now Let’s try that again shall we, sweetheart?” 
                “Please…” you begged. “Please don’t do this.”
                “Oh, come now. It ain’t all bad... A powerful demon husband, access to magics you wouldn’t believe, I can make this so good for you.” He forced his hands up your sweater to run them down over your breasts, one hand stopping to fondle your nipple with his thumb while the other slid into your pajama pants, between your legs and cupping your pussy over your panties and rubbing his ring and middle fingers back and forth.
“Well well, for such a good little witch, you sure are dripping wet for me. I’m must say I’m flattered.” He kissed you with a fire that stirred something dark and twisted within your heart and soul.  Something you ignored as a witch who tried to do only good to others.
“God…please...” Your voice was soft, but Lee heard you growled, his hand going from your breast to grab your hair and force your head back. His voice was soft but dangerous in your ear.
“Trust me sweetheart, Even if he gave a shit about you, there’s not a damned thing he could to stop me. You worship me now. Go on, say my name.”
                “Lee…” you breathed heavily. Your resolve was slowly crumbling as you realized there was no way out of this. And that fear, that resolve, was being replaced with desire. The way Lee looked at you seemed like he wanted to devour you whole should’ve terrified you, but you couldn’t deny how wet you were. You didn’t want to want him, but your whimper gave you away.
                “Yeah, baby? You want something? Go on…beg for it…” he ordered; his fingers moving faster as he kissed down your neck, biting gently in just the right spot to make your toes curl. You let out a low moan. Your breathing was heavy as you spoke.
                “You…you promise you won’t hurt the good people?” You asked, tears forming in the corners of your eyes. Lee scoffed with a smirk, staring down at you.  
                “Good people, oh if only you knew…but you’ll learn.” Without another word Lee pulled his fingers from your shorts, making your whine in loss and feeling yourself clench around nothing. Lee snapped his fingers and your clothes were gone.
 Before you could react, he grabbed you, lifted you over his shoulder, smacking your ass then storming into your bedroom, slamming the door behind you two and locking it. He tossed you unceremoniously onto your bed, hardly giving you a moment to breathe before he was on top of you. He leaned over you and his black soleless eyes bore deep into yours.
                “The people in this town are bathed in sin. Just you wait and see.” His gaze softened, his eyes returning to their crimson form. He ran one hand down your cheek, using his thumb to hold your chin and force you to look at him. “But you know what, I think you want something darker… I saw some of those books on your shelves. I think you wanna be a little damsel in distress. And I’m more than happy to oblige.” His hand wrapped around your throat; then he leaned down so his lips were just ghosting against your trembling ones.
“How long have you wanted the touch of a strong man?” Your whimper in response only made him grin wider. “You’re adorable and you reek of loneliness. He kissed you deeply before leaning back to rake his eyes fully over your naked form. “So fucking purty…” he growled. “And you taste sweeter than any mortal sin.” He stood up, but you were still unable to move. Your arms crossed over your head and your legs were forced wide.
Wasting no time, he stripped out of his own clothes; Finally he pulled his boxers down to expose his cock which bobbed against his stomach. Your eyes widened in shock at the size.  It had been some time since you’d been with a man, but his thick cock was bigger than you’d ever had. You tried to shy away from him a bit but he stroked it up and down a few times, laughing at the more than apparent shock on your face
“Never had a cock this big before, have you?” he slowly climbed on the bed, kneeling between your legs. “Well not to worry, little witch. I’m here now and I’m gunna take good care of you. Starting by fucking you like the little bitch in heat that you are and making you cum.” He stroked his cock while gently running his fingers up and down your slit.  You wanted to struggle, scream, fight back. But when Lee pressed his thumb down on your clit, you let out a moan and seemed to almost grind against his hand. It was wrong, but it felt so good. He brought the fingers he’d been rubbing you with up to your lips.
                “Suck on em, slut.” Pushing his fingers in your mouth, rather than be repulsed, your tongue laved over his fingers; thoughts clouding your mind of kneeling before him and sucking his cock. “Oh don’t worry, little witch. You’ll be doing that soon enough.” Lee promised. “Tell me you want this cock. Tell me how bad you wanna be my little whore.”
                “Want…want your cock in my pussy Lee…want to be your slut..” you begged.
                “You gunna be my good wife? Give me whatever I want?” You could feel the head of his cock brush against the inside of your thigh.
                “Yes…please…”
                “Open your mouth.” He ordered. You did as he said and he squeezed your cheeks, making sure your mouth stayed open as he leaned over and snarled something in Latin before spitting in your mouth. Your eyes widened as you realized what he was doing but he covered your nose and mouth with his hands. “Swallow it, slut. Swallow it if you wanna breathe again.”  You had no choice but to swallow. Your veins came alive like fire travelling through you as you were now soul bonded together. He let go of you but replaced his hand with his lips in another hard kiss.
You felt the last of your resolve crumbling. You hated yourself, but you wanted him…and he knew it. He snapped his fingers again and now your arms were free to move, but they didn’t fight him, instead they sought to hold him close to you. You wanted to feel him against you, he was so warm compared to the chilly night air. Like a blanket wrapping around you on winter’s first night.
                “Well now, we certainly have changed our mind, haven’t we?” You didn’t answer, turning away, and trying to not meet his leering gaze. But he gripped your chin and forced you to look at him.
                “When I ask you a question, you answer, understand? I’m being real nice here, but I can go back to being mean if you want.” He threatened. But you shook your head softly.
                “No please…I’ll be good…” you whimpered and he smiled.
“I know you will.” He kissed you, taking the chance to push his cock inside you making you moan into the kiss.  His hands were on either side of your head and you dug your nails into his shoulder to try and pull him closer to you.
You pressed your knees tight against his sides as he set a torturous pace. Dragging his cock out slowly so you could feel the head rubbing the walls of your pussy, making you keen and moan. Then pushing back in hard so you felt like you were going to be split in two. 
“Lee…please.” You wanted to beg him to stop but it came out as a plea for more.
                “Such a powerful little witchling, reduced to my wanton whore…” His hands grabbed your breasts, tweaking and rolling your nipples between his calloused fingers. “Gunna be so pretty on my arm. And if you be a good little wife, I’ll buy you all the books you want, and I’ll fuck you to sleep every night on my cock.” He took one hand away from your breasts to smack your clit…hard. Your vision went white with pleasure as you screwed your eyes shut; your pussy clenching hard around his cock.
                “Fuck and a pain slut to boot. You’re gunna be lots of fun, little witch. I want you to cum. Cum for your new husband.” His thrusts increased to a punishing pace and he used his thumb to rub your clit. “And when you cum on my cock, I own you. Heart, body, and soul. You understand?”
                “Ye-Yes I understand…Lee…” His eyes flickered to black as he pinched your nipple hard and ordered you in a voice much lower and darker than his usual tone.
“Then cum.” The sound of it making your eyes was the final straw as your eyes rolled back in your head and you felt every muscle in your body clench as you came harder than you ever had before. Lee had made your body feel like it was on fire but your orgasm was like a cooling only water could bring. You called out his name as you bucked your hips up, like you were trying to draw him in more.
He kept fucking you through the waves of pleasure crashing down on you, chasing his own release. “Look at you, all fucked out and all mine. Can’t wait to get you home, gunna bend you over and spank this ass hard before I fuck it…”  His words made your breath hitch and you clenched his cock one final time before he stilled above you, growling and snarling.
You could feel his hot cum filling you as he pumped his cock into you a few more times. For a few moments, only the sound of your combined breathing’s filled the space. You lay there with your eyes closed as your feelings washed over you; shame, embarrassment, but at the base of it all, satisfaction and power. Power stronger than anything you’d felt before. Lee chuckled above you as you opened your eyes to meet his, now back to crimson.
                “You can feel it, can’t you? All that new power from being my mate flowing through you?” You nodded weekly. “Good but just remember. I’m the one in control now, you’re bound to me so if you even think about hurting me or doing something stupid, I’ll strip them away and leave you for dead. We clear?”
                “Yes, Lee.” You sighed, accepting your fate. His eyes flashed once more to black before turning back to the blue that had drawn you in so easily. You bit your lip, staring up at his rugged looks and acknowledging there were worse options to be bound to for all eternity.
“Fuck, I hope you never lose that doe eyed look. I just wrecked your pussy and you still look like the shy little bookworm you are.” He pulled his cock from you slowly, the first gentle action of the night. “Do you need some stew now, little witchling?” He asked, teasing you and tickling your side, forcing a smile onto your face that didn’t last. Lee let out a small sigh.
“Listen, you might look cute when you cry on my cock, but you’ve got one hell of a smile, darling. I’d like to see it for real.” His words struck a chord, all night he’d teased and degraded you, but now he seemed gentile, almost trying to be charming. He brushed a strand of hair back from your face. “You have to remember sweetheart, I may be strong and powerful, but I have to lure in my pray first.”
Lee gently pounced on you, placing hot, open mouth kisses to your neck, nipping and kissing until you were squealing and laughing in pleasure, forgetting for just a moment the rude and brash way he’d taken you, sexually and literally. When Lee stopped, he pulled back to press a kiss to your forehead.
“I told you sweetheart, if you’re good for me, I can be so good for you.” Despite everything you’ve ever known about demons, you decided to trust him; hoping that as his wife, maybe you could do some good and help the people of the town on a wider scale.
“Can I ask for one thing, please?” you asked, reaching for his hand and squeezing it.
“Well, I am feeling awfully generous.” He said, smiling coyly.
“Please let me keep this place. I promise I’ll come home to you every night but…a witch needs her sacred space.” You asked, batting your eyelashes just a little.
“Hmmmm, I suppose that can be arranged.” Lee conceded. “But I have complete and unfettered access, understood?” You nodded, knowing the road ahead as his wife would be rough, but seeing who he was and hoping you could smooth down the rougher edges gave you a sense of relief.
He lay on his side, wrapping his arms around you and holding you against him. You were almost shocked how comfortable you felt in his embrace. But it happened easily, his leg feeling so natural wrapped around yours in your bed.

A Night on the Town
A Bellova x Coriolanus One-Shot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own The Hunger Games franchise, the images above, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, or any of the characters in this fic other than Bellova and the made-up places I included. I also do not condone the beliefs or actions of Coriolanus or Bellova.
SUMMARY: After drinking more than they initially planned during a night out with friends, Bellova and Coriolanus exchange secrets and promises.
⚠️Warnings⚠️: swearing, alcohol consumption, mentions of violence and assault, Festus being creepy, slight angst
A/n: This takes place the school year before TBOSAS occurs, so during the equivalent of their junior year of high school. Also, I HIGHLY recommend you catch up on my series, A Lady Made of Snow, before reading this.
“I am so glad that’s over with,” Festus Creed grumbled.
“It wasn’t that bad,” Lysistrata Vickers said as the group of students exited Professor Demigloss’s classroom and started down the staircase to the dining hall. 
Persephone Price nodded in agreement. “I found it to be a pretty straightforward exam, all things considered.”
Festus snorted. “Maybe for you, but for me, it felt like reading another language.”
“I thought it was easy. You’re just an idiot, Festus,” Arachne Crane said smugly. 
Festus opened his mouth to argue, but shut it when he noticed Bellova Reginelle had joined their group.
“Is Festus complaining about the exam?” she asked, giving the boy a teasing smirk. Lysistrata nodded. “I’m starting to believe you’ll flunk Demigloss’s class, Creed.”
He scowled. “I won’t, I’ll pass with flying colors, you just wait and see.”
Bellova laughed. “Keep telling yourself that and maybe it will come true.”
Bellova, like most of the students in her class, had been worried about Demigloss’s exam for the past few days. She and her study group had studied vigorously, but the stress kept mounting. The tension had put her on edge, and she’d lost her temper while bickering with a certain blonde boy. 
Thankfully, the test was not nearly as difficult as she had expected it to be. She found that she had time to spare at the end of the period, which she spent passing notes back-and-forth with Persephone. They both agreed that their friend group should spent some time together outside of school to celebrate the completion of Demigloss’s exam. However, they weren’t sure what to do. They could visit someone’s penthouse or go shopping, but they’d done that several times already. Doing something new and exciting would give them all a chance to let loose a bit.
The group, consisting of Festus, the Ring twins, Arachne, Lysistrata, Persephone, Felix, and Bellova, sat at their usual lunch table. They were soon joined by Sejanus Plinth, to the chagrin of several people. Bellova ignored their silent attempts to shoo him away, and allowed Sejanus to sit next to her.
After chatting lightheartedly about some mundane gossip for awhile, Bellova cleared her throat, silencing the group.
“Persephone and I,” she began. “Were thinking that we should all go out tonight. But we weren’t sure what we should do.”
The group exchanged glances, waiting for someone to suggest something.
Finally, Sejanus spoke up.
“My Ma told me that there’s some kind of show happening at the Odysseus Theatre. You know, the one on Aleona Street? We could get dinner beforehand and go to that.”
Miraculously, the group seemed to like Sejanus’s idea. Festus added that it was an illusionist show reserved for the Capitol’s elite, and that unlimited drinks would be provided during the performance. 
Lysistrata frowned. “Festus, some of us have never had alcohol before. What if someone gets sick?”
He shrugged. “Then that’s their problem.” 
Bellova gave Festus a look. “Anyways,” she continued. “Are we all in favor of that plan?”
“Excuse me, what plan are you all forming without me?”
Bellova rolled her eyes when she heard the voice or Coriolanus Snow behind her. 
He took a seat next to Sejanus, and gestured for Bellova to speak.
She sighed. “If you must know, we are thinking of going out tonight to destress and have some fun. Sejanus suggested going out to dinner and then going to a show. I was about to ask how everyone felt about it before you so rudely interrupted me.”
Coriolanus scoffed. “You’re so sensitive.”
“You’re one to talk about sensitivity, Mr. I throw a tantrum when I don’t get a perfect grade.”
“Guys,” Sejanus said, preventing them from continuing to bicker. 
Bellova gave Coriolanus one last scathing look before turning to the rest of the group. “All in favor of the plan raise your hand.”
Everyone raised their hand, including Coriolanus. She raised an eyebrow at him. 
“Bold of you to assume you’re invited.”
“Bellova, don’t be mean,” Persephone said, frowning. “Of course you can come, Coryo.” 
Coriolanus smiled charmingly. “Wonderful.”
Bellova glared at him, but didn’t object. “Fine. Let’s meet at The Ambience on Heirloom Avenue at five o’clock. And make sure to wear something nice, we are going to an exclusive event after all.”
Everyone nodded and went back to talking as normal, except for Bellova. She was watching Coriolanus carefully, observing the way his body had tensed when she mentioned dressing formally. 
‘How odd,’ she thought.
Little did she know that Coriolanus was internally panicking, wondering how the hell he was going to find something to wear that his classmates wouldn’t look down upon.
______________________________________________
“There she is! Oh, you look so gorgeous!” Diana Ring gushed, waving Bellova over.
Bellova smiled as she stepped out of her limousine, walking towards her friends who were standing outside of the restaurant. Sejanus greeted her with a warm hug, which Bellova generously accepted. She gave Lysistrata and Diana a friendly kiss on the cheek, and nodded politely at the others.
“Nice dress,” Arachne said, not even trying to hide her jealousy. She wore a dark green velvet dress, which Bellova thought was pretty but overall unimpressive, especially compared to her own outfit. 
The sheer, glimmering material of her form-fitting silver dress made her look like a diamond personified. Her matching heels wrapped around her ankles, the straps resembling silver snakes. On top of her dress was a white fur shawl, which protected her from the chill of the evening air. 
“Thank you, Arachne,” Bellova responded. “That shade of green really brings out your eyes.” 
Arachne grinned proudly at the compliment. Festus, who was standing next to her, was obviously fixated on the bare skin revealed by the shortness of her dress.
“Festus,” Bellova snapped. “Stop ogling or I’ll rip your eyes out.” 
The boy smirked. “Fine, fine. But it’s hard not to stare when you’re so…exposed.” 
Lysistrata smacked him on the arm. “Stop it, Felix! You’re embarrassing yourself.” 
“Damn right you are,” Bellova agreed, rolling her eyes. “Alright, are we ready to go in now?”
“We’re still missing Coriolanus,” Sejanus spoke up. 
She huffed impatiently. “If he doesn’t show up in the next thirty seconds, we’re ditching him.”
“You’re out of luck then, Bellova.”
Bellova scowled as she saw the Snow heir approach the group. “I was hoping you’d get hit by a car on your way here so we could all enjoy our evening.”
“Guys please,” Apollo Ring said hastily. “Let’s not argue now. We should head inside, our table is waiting for us.”
The group of students filed into The Ambience restaurant, chatting amongst each other as usual. Bellova linked arms with Persephone, complimenting her outfit. She had chosen a less flashy dress than Bellova’s, which made sense given her more reserved personality, but still looked gorgeous. 
They all took their seats around a circular table, which had been reserved by Felix’s father for the occasion. Unfortunately, Bellova ended up sitting between Arachne and Coriolanus. 
So much for a relaxing evening. 
She hoped that some alcohol would mellow the two out, but knowing them, it was safe to assume that wasn’t likely. But she had never been around them while they were intoxicated, so perhaps they were entirely different people while they were drunk.
As expected, waiters soon came to place small glasses of sparkling wine in front of each of them. Festus eagerly took a sip and immediately shuddered, making the group laugh.
“I suppose we’ll see how well Creed over here handles his wine,” Apollo joked. 
“I bet he’ll be a mess by the third refill,” Arachne added, smirking.
“I disagree,” Bellova chimes in. “He’ll be a mess by the second.” 
She saw Coriolanus grin at that, which gave her a strange sense of pride. 
Felix raised his glass, indicating that he was about to make a toast. “To us, for surviving Demigloss’s exam.”
The rest of them raised their drinks. “To us.”
A chorus of clinking glass followed, as well as the sound of many of them coughing as the liquid burned their throats. Bellova, who had become familiar with the drink recently, had no trouble downing half of it in one go. 
Coriolanus nudged her, making her cringe in surprise. “Someone’s been indulging themselves with alcohol recently, hm?”
She scoffed. “None of your business, Snow.”
“Easy there, I’m not judging you.”
“You judge me every fucking day, so forgive me if I don’t believe you.”
Coriolanus smirked. “Fair enough. But I feel like actually having some fun tonight, so I’ll try not to agitate you, regardless of how amusing I find your angry expressions to be.”
Bellova rolled her eyes. “How kind of you.”
“I know, my generosity is quite admirable.”
Bellova couldn’t help but laugh, making Coriolanus smile. She could tell it was a genuine one. He rarely gave those out, especially to her. 
She secretly hoped she could elicit a few more before the night came to an end.
______________________________________________
By the time the group left the restaurant, several of them were quite tipsy. Bellova, as well as Sejanus, Lysistrata, Persephone, and Coriolanus stayed unaffected, thanks to either their higher alcohol tolerance or their choice to only have a glass or two of wine. 
While waiting line to enter the Odysseus Theatre, Bellova listened to her friends chatter excitedly, speculating about who would be at the show. Apparently, there was some famous television star attending, but she wasn’t particularly interested in that. She decided to focus her attention towards Sejanus and Coriolanus, who were having a hushed conversation.
“What are you two conspiring about?” she asked, pulling a compact out of her purse to re-apply her lip gloss. 
“We’re just talking about Festus,” Sejanus murmured. 
Bellova looked over at the Creed heir, who was trying and failing to subtly steal glances at her.  She gave him a cold stare, making him turn away quickly. “What about him?”
“He’s being a creep,” Sejanus said. “Looking at you like that.”
“I know,” she agreed. “If he keeps it up, he’ll be dead by the time midnight rolls around.”
Sejanus sighed. “You should talk to him and get him to stop before it gets to that point.”
Bellova huffed. “Fine, but don’t make me do it alone. He gets angry when he doesn’t get his way. And I don’t want things to get physical.” 
Coriolanus laughed. “That’s a first.”
“Shut the fuck up, Snow.”
Sejanus ignored their exchange. “Coriolanus and I will be by your side to make sure Creed doesn’t try anything funny, okay?”
“Hey,” Coriolanus protested, pouting slightly. “Why am I getting dragged into this?”
Sejanus sighed. “I don’t want to see Bellova get harassed any more, and she wants some silent support while confronting him.”
The young Snow looked at Bellova, clearly annoyed. “Fine,” he relented after a moment.
“Thank you, boys,” Bellova said. “I appreciate it.
The group was allowed into the theatre without any trouble after showing a man their ID’s. Many of the Capitol’s richest were socializing loudly with one another, glasses of posca in hand. 
They made their way through the crowd, eventually finding their way to their reserved area. Felix’s father, being the president and all, had ensured they had the best view possible. 
“I want to sit next to Felix,” Arachne said obnoxiously, latching onto the arm of the president’s son. 
“Relax, Arachne, nobody is going to steal him from you,” Diana teased, sitting down next to her twin brother. Arachne gave her a look before taking a seat as well, still holding onto Felix’s arm.
Noticing Festus move to sit next to Bellova, Sejanus quickly took the seat before he could. Coriolanus followed suit, sitting on the other side of his rival. Scowling, Festus reluctantly chose the seat next to Sejanus, and began chatting with Apollo.
“Creed!” Bellova said sharply. He turned back around, his eyes going straight to her cleavage. She scowled, covering herself with her shawl. “If you keep eyeing me like I’m a piece of meat, I’ll ensure that you end up like one: cut into pieces and served on a pretty platter.”
Festus gulped. “U-Understood.” 
Bellova gave him a sickly sweet smile. “Lovely.”
She picked up the flute of posca set before her. After finishing the drink, she started to feel slightly warm, the effects of the alcohol beginning to set in. She folded her shawl on her lap, resting her hands on top of it.
Sejanus smiled at her. “You didn’t need our help after all.”
She shrugged. “It was nice to know that you two had my back. Or at least you did.”
Coriolanus frowned at her, setting down his empty glass. “Do you really think I’d let Creed assault someone and get away with it?”
She pursed her lips. “If it was me he was after, then maybe.”
He shook his head. “Bellova, I would never let harm come to one of my friends.”
“Hmm” was her only response. 
Loud music began to play over the speakers, causing the chatter around them to quiet down. The lights dimmed, and the stage was illuminated a moment later, revealing a group of performers with sequin-covered costumes. 
The illusionists were brilliant. They made white doves appear as if they vanished into thin air, and re-appear in a cloud of purple flame. The crowd was enthralled, gasping and applauding loudly. Avoxes walked through the room, keeping the guest’s glasses full of posca. 
After the third glass, Bellova was definitely intoxicated. She felt slightly dizzy, and was trying desperately not to say anything that would embarrass her later. 
While the performers were setting up their next elaborate trick, Bellova glanced at the two boys sitting next to her. Sejanus was in a dark blue suit that complimented his chocolate brown eyes. Coriolanus, on the other hand, wore a black long-sleeved dress shirt that he had rolled up to his elbows, paired with matching dress pants and black leather boots. There was a silver watch on his slender wrist that was engraved with the Snow family crest.
He looked like he was attending a funeral, but he looked as handsome as ever.
She giggled. “I’m in a Snow and Plinth sandwich.” Sejanus chuckled, making her eyes widen. “D-Did I say that out loud?”
“Yes, you did,” Coriolanus said, smirking. She sighed, rubbing her temples gently.
“I’ve got to stop drinking after this glass,” she murmured. “I’m going to keep saying stupid shit like that if I keep this up.” 
Two more refills later, Bellova and Coriolanus were completely, utterly drunk.
Bellova had no idea that Coriolanus was the slightly giggly, honest type of drunk. She expected him to be meaner while intoxicated, not more pleasant. He was more boyish and cheerful, and had an almost goofy smile on his face. 
Bellova looked at him, her eyes glassy and a bit unfocused. “What’s making you so happy?”
He shrugged. “Nothing. I just am.”
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Yes it does.”
“No it doesn’t!”
Coriolanus pouted, crossing his arms. “You’re so mean all the time. Why can’t you cut me some slack?”
Bellova smirked back. “I would if you weren’t such a cunt on a daily basis.”
“Watch your language, we’re in public.”
“Yes, I’m aware of that.”
“Stop giving me attitude,” Coriolanus said, glaring at her.
“You’re one to talk about attitude, Coryo,” Bellova muttered.
He suddenly placed a hand on hers, making her shudder slightly. His hands were cold, which was fitting, given his last name. 
“What’s this for?” she asked, confused.
“You would be so much nicer looking if you weren’t always glaring. You have a pretty face, you shouldn’t waste it by scowling at me all the time.” 
Bellova was too intoxicated to stop herself from blushing slightly. “You think I’m pretty?”
He rolled his eyes. “It’s an objective fact that you’re gorgeous. Everyone with eyes thinks so. You should hear what the older boys at the Academy say about you.”
Bellova winced. “I don’t want to know. They’ve harassed me before, have I ever told you that?”
“No, you haven’t,” he said, his eyebrows furrowed. 
“Okay, well I don’t want to talk about it,” she snapped, suddenly feeling tense. 
“Why?”
“Because,” she said, biting her lip. “It’ll…make me upset.”
“Why?”
“Coriolanus, I had to stab three boys in the arm to escape being forcibly stripped,” she whispered, her eyes filling with tears that she hastily wiped away. “That was why I almost got expelled last year. I would’ve been if the boys hadn’t been threatened to confess by my father.”
Coriolanus stared at her in silence for a moment.
“That’s awful,” he said quietly. “I had no idea. I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine,” she said. “It’s in the past now. Just…don’t mention it to anyone. I don’t want the drama to start up again.”
He nodded. “I won’t, I swear.” 
“Good,” she replied, giving him a small smile. She saw him yawn, covering his mouth with his hand. “Tired?”
Coriolanus nodded. “Exhausted. I was up late last night.”
“How come?”
“I couldn’t sleep. Nightmares.”
Bellova frowned. “What about?”
“My mother. And the night she died. You know I was supposed to have a little sister? She died minutes after being born.”
Bellova felt her heart tighten. Coriolanus’s baby blue eyes were watery, and he looked more vulnerable than she’d ever seen him. He was still holding onto her hand, his grasp tightening slightly. 
“I’m sure that your mother was a lovely woman,” she said softly. He nodded. 
“She was. I keep her old compact by my bedside when I need to calm my nerves. There’s still rose-scented powder in it, and it makes me feel as if she’s in the room with me.”
Bellova gave him a soft smile. “That’s sweet.”
“I suppose,” Coriolanus said, his eyelids beginning to droop slightly. To Bellova’s surprise, he let his head rest on her shoulder. His golden curls brushed against her bare skin, making a warm feeling bloom in her chest. 
Sejanus looked over at Bellova to see how she was doing, and his jaw fell open when he saw Coriolanus resting comfortably on his fiercest rival. 
‘What the hell is going on?’ Sejanus mouthed at her.
Bellova gave him a dazed smile. ‘No clue,’ she mouthed back.
She felt as if she’d fallen into an alternate reality. This felt so odd, having Coriolanus cuddled up at her side and holding her hand while half-asleep.
But she wasn’t complaining. Not in the slightest. 
______________________________________________
With a good amount of difficulty, Sejanus managed to convince Coriolanus and Bellova to accept his offer to call a cab to take them home. 
Both were almost unconscious, and had forgotten to call their drivers to ask them to pick them up. Sejanus knew they both needed to be at home in bed soon, or they’d regret it in the morning.
In the back of the cab, the two academic rivals sat on opposite sides of the back seat. Bellova assumed Coriolanus had finally fallen asleep, as his head was resting against the window. 
Her head was still swimming, the posca affecting her thoughts greatly. She had urges she’d never have while sober, such as the urge to run her hands through Coriolanus’s curls. They looked so soft, almost like a kitten’s fur. 
She turned away to look out the window, staring at the pristine Capitol buildings in the distance. One day, she’d have one all to herself.
“Bellova?”
Coriolanus’s raspy voice startled her out of her fantasies, making her sit up. “Yes?”
“Maybe…” he said slowly. “Maybe we should stop being mean to each other.”
Bellova sighed. “Maybe. But it’s part of our relationship. It’s fucked up, but that’s how it’s been for years.”
“I don’t always enjoy fighting. It’s stressful and frustrating,” Coriolanus said. “And it gets tiring.”
“What exactly is your point, Coryo?”
“Let’s make a pact,” he said, his glazed eyes looking into hers. “An agreement to stop arguing for no reason. Maybe we’d be happier if we work together instead of against each other.” 
Bellova hummed. She supposed he was right, bickering with him could get exhausting. It would be hard to stop trying to get under his skin on purpose, as it had become a habit. But was worth a try.
She extended her hand. “Okay. Let’s do it. No more pointless fighting.” 
He grasped her hand, giving it a firm shake. “Promise?”
“I promise.” 
When the cab driver reached Bellova’s estate, Coriolanus gave her a parting kiss on the hand, making her giggle loudly. She blew a kiss back to him before one of her guards escorted her through the gates, putting an official end to her night out. 
______________________________________________
The next morning, Bellova and Coriolanus both woke up in their own beds, their hangovers giving them splitting headaches. 
Coriolanus ended up vomiting in the bathroom, worrying Tigris immensely. He assured her he was fine, but she insisted on making him a cup of tea and coaxed him back into bed. 
Bellova was prepared for the hangover, and took some medicine she had in her bedside cabinet in order to quell the pounding in her head. It was the weekend, so she had no obligations. After her headache had lessened, she slipped back into sleep.
Neither of them realized they had blacked out the previous evening. They didn’t remember anything after having their fifth glasses of posca. 
Along with forgetting the deep conversation they had at the show, the promise they made to each other was forever lost in the recesses of their minds. They would continue to fight over the most mundane things, and do whatever they could to get a rise out of the other.
Until, of course, the conflict came to an end once and for all on that fateful October day.

Warning : Angst, smut Masterlist (Part 4 - Part 6)
Summary: This is your last night at Storm's end before your depart for King's Landing. To be truthful, you haven't expected it to go smoothly anyway. Aemond is an unpredictable man, and you'll have to start to get used to it.
You were invited to dinner with Lord's Baratheon's family for your last night at Storm's End before your departure, or rather, Aemond's departure for King's Landing, as his status forced Lord Borros to throw a feast for his guest of honour. And to his greatest dismay, he has been obliged to invite you as well.
You were seated rather far from Aemond, who was placed between his betrothed and Borros Baratheon, himself placed next to his wife and others you did not know. As for you, you were on the side, next to your aunt and the youngest Baratheon's daughter, placing the four sisters between you and Aemond, who was for the moment intensely looking at his cup, body slightly turned your way.
You were uncomfortable, as Lord Borros unhidden dark glare toward you and clearly indicating that he was still not happy about the idea of you riding with his daughter's future husband, and you suspected that what transpired between Aemond and yourself in the courtyard earlier had reached his ears.
So you made yourself discreet, and didn't talk much through most of the diner, the Baratheon's daughters clearly the most talkative, all except the youngest next to you. But it didn't prevent you from hearing everything Cassandra, the eldest, had to say to the assembly when she was not whispering into Aemond's ear.
"It was positively exhilarating! Vhagar is such a huge beast, it feels like you own the whole world when you are up in the sky!" Cassandra was happily moving in her seat, her eyes proud from the memory of Aemond taking her for a ride on Lord Borros' suggestion this very day. "I long to see my sons riding dragons as well when their eggs will have hatched!" she continued, her other sisters listening with envy.
Aemond next to her, only bore a polite smile as the conversation continued around him, seemingly still taking more interest in the patterns of his cup. He hasn't said much, at least that you could hear. He sometimes answered the Lord Borros’ questions about his dragon or about other subjects, and sometimes approached his future bride to answer one or her many whispered questions, her hand touching his arm each time they talked.
It was the first time you saw Lady Cassandra. She was lean, pretty, young, and she clearly was eloquent and quick-witted. All qualities that would fare well in the Red Keep, you thought. However, you were already sick of listening to her, bragging about Vhagar and her time with Aemond, of how she would be in her element as his wife and always bringing the subject of the ceremony as soon as a silence needed to be filled.
You quickly realised that you hated where you were seated, because you could see the couple much too clearly for your taste, as well as being very close to the other sisters, and you could feel their curious glares at you, judging everything you did.
"I heard that Rhaenyra gave birth to a deformed stillborn!" said the second sister. "People say she is cursed. What do you think my Lady? You were present when she went into labour, were you not? Was it truly deformed?"
She had to speak loud enough for her voice to reach you clearly now that she was addressing you, her quiet sister separating you not bothering her in the slightest.
You tried to calm your nerves as memories of Rhaenyra screaming in pain came back to you. Some people around you were waiting for your response with interest. 
"I do not know my Lady, only that the grief of losing a child must be beyond any pain I know," you said coldly, the implication of your words heavy around the table as some people glanced at Aemond. "And I do not believe in curses."
You held your gaze to the sister who watched you with a slight grin, then you dared to glance at Aemond, only to find him with his eye already on you. You quickly resumed looking at your plate.
You were perfectly aware of the fear that surrounded the ‘Kinslayer’ curse. You had no care for it.
"The Black Queen sure wears her name well," stated Lord Baratheon who has heard your reply and chose to ignore it. "Darkness would surely fall on the Seven Kingdoms if a woman was ever to rule it."
You ticked at the comment as conversations carried on this new subject. You retreated in your silence when you felt something softly pulling your sleeve.
"Is it true that the Princess Rhaenys escaped on the Red Queen during King Aegon's coronation?"
It was the youngest Baratheon girl, her voice as quiet and sweet as her eyes, evidently eager to talk more about dragons. You smiled, you were the same at her age.
"I did not witness it with my own eyes, my Lady, for I was not at King's Landing at the time. But I saw the Princess arrive triumphantly at Dragonstone on Meleys, the very image of the fierce wife of Aegon the First himself," you said tenderly as her eyes widened in amazement, glad that you found someone to talk without feeling constantly put to the test.
"I was there," you heard Aemond said amidst the other discussions still going on around you.
You weren't aware that the Prince was listening to your conversation, as far as he was from you. But the interaction instantly took all of the sisters’ attention as they looked between you and Aemond.
"Rhaenys burst into the Dragonpit on dragon-back, killing many subjects of the King in the process, not caring one bit for the consequences of her deeds, and threatened us during a royal event, me and my family," he said as to defy your claim, looking right at you. 
You swallowed.
"Maybe both the Princess and her dragon did not appreciate being imprisoned for days when the Princess's cousin had just passed away, an honoured guest in your home. Would you not have done the same if you were separated from Vhagar, my Prince?" you managed to answer, sounding more annoyed that you wanted to appear.
Aemond hummed, grinning slightly as he put his cup down before him. "Are you implying that I would murder innocent bystanders for my own personal reason, for the sake of my dragon and because of my rank? I am not that cruel."
Somehow his words sounded false, but you were both in a game, and you were losing.
"I beg to differ on that matter," you replied. "But I would not sully your good name under our host's roof, for surely he does not want to witness your cruelty, only use your name and title to break an oath for the sake of his daughters while you indulge him."
The table went silent. You realised what you had said too late, not even knowing why your mean words were aimed at Lord Baratheon as he sent you a terrifying glare, clutching on his cup. You shrank in your chair as your aunt lowered her head, bracing for the storm.
"How dare you, young Lady, insult me and my house, when you have done nothing but betray your word and cast shame on my family!" he yelled. "Do you not think I know that you came as a messenger for the false Queen? The Crown could have your neck for that, you'd be well to remember your place!"
Aemond jumped on his feet, all your previous spoken battle forgotten. Although you couldn't see his face, his stance screamed for violence and all eyes were turned to him as he now stood, looking down at Lord Borros with a deadly glare. The latter’s expression passed from fury to careful anger, and began to stand up slowly, almost coming to the same height as Aemond as the two men stared at each other tensely.
"I would be careful boy, you are a royal guest here, but your manners of late has been nothing but disrespectful," Lord Borros said through gritted teeth, trying to remain unfazed by Aemond's surprising reaction. But the Prince spoke nonetheless.
"I would only remind you, my Lord, that this is no proper way to treat a lady, especially Lady Y/N who was obviously forced to do as told by my traitor of a sister... Your anger is misdirected, if you wish to blame someone, blame me for not having her removed sooner from your home." His voice was menacing, and you shivered.
Lord Baratheon didn't take the Prince’s statement as sincere, without even mentioning that he had just been insulted, and you saw him grab the hilt of a dagger at his belt, his jaw tense.
You clutched the arms of your chair in anticipation, waiting for their next movements, but you saw Lord Borros' wife grab his elbow in an attempt to soothe her husband. Aemond for his part, hadn't flinched, and you guessed that he was only glaring at the Lord in defiance, eye wide in focus and anger.
Lord Borros finally let go of his dagger. "You are to marry my daughter under the next moon my boy, this is the new agreement, make sure not to forget it."
And he stormed out of the room, leaving his many guests to finally relax from the tense atmosphere. You didn't move as you watched Aemond turn, seemingly regaining his composure, take Cassandra's hand to deposit a kiss on the back of it before departing from another doorway. You were sure that he had quickly glanced at you before leaving the table, and you prayed that he didn't see the pang of jealousy displayed on your features.
For the rest of the dinner, you felt every eye on you, making you desperate to retreat to your chamber, to leave the very castle, even. Your salvation came under the form of a message that had arrived by raven. The parchment was sealed with your House's emblem, a badger, and so you were able to excuse yourself and leave the room.
The message was from your father.
"My daughter,
I learnt recently that you were at Storm's End and unwell. I do not understand why you have travelled this far, but I hope that you are feeling better as you receive this message. I wish to know by return of raven when you are to come back to King's Landing, to us, as Dragonstone is now a dangerous place to be. Finally, daughter, I would advise you to mind the words you say in court, as I know you are always eager to put honesty above all other matters. However, this is not the wisest course of action currently. Especially given your current entourage.
Long live the King, love, your father.
You folded the parchment in one of your dress's pockets, and lied on your bed. He had signed Long live the King , an obvious reminder that no matter where his loyalty truly laid in regard to the true heir, caution was now of the highest importance. You would follow his advice, and you were glad to have in your possession a piece of your family among this unwelcoming place, especially after tonight. You could see him tomorrow, you thought, in person, if Aemond would really follow his plan and bring you back with him. You smiled as you already felt lighter about your future ride on Vhagar. You couldn't wait, you admitted, and you didn't want to confess why.
Tumblr media
You couldn't really sleep that night, too riled up from the many emotions you had to go through today. You settled to read a book near the fire, finally enjoying some peace before you heard a knock on your door. Cursing internally, you grabbed a cloth to cover yourself, your nightgown a little too revealing for visitors and went to open the door.
He was standing there, tall, fully dressed. He didn't wait for you to welcome him as he walked straight inside, passing by you and heading to the middle of the room.
"Are you prepared to leave?" he asked.
You watched him, astounded as he turned to you in his usual stance, hands behind his back.
"W-what?" you only managed to say, your hand still on the doorknob.
"Did you pack your belongings for our departure?" he repeated. 
You still didn't understand the sudden intrusion. It was highly improper for him to even be here, the dinner still on your mind. You were not sure that you could survive another of Lord Borros’ outbursts.
"I only came with very little, so I do not have to pack really but-"
"Perfect," he interrupted. "I spent the last hours in thoughts and have concluded that it would be better if we were to leave as soon as possible."
"You mean now? Tonight?"
"Yes."
Silence.
"Surely you jest Aemond. It's the middle of the night and it's pouring outside, without mentioning the storm!"
"Vhagar has seen worse. And you should trust both of us to find King's Landing as if we were in daylight," he said proudly. 
What was with him? He was not thinking clearly.
"What about Lord Borros? What about your duty to your betrothed? I do not feel comfortable with this. Surely you cannot think about flying ahead of what has been settled without notifying the court, this is not how it is done!" you tried to reason.
"I don't care!" 
The next moment, he was on you, so fast that the door you were still holding open closed with a loud slam behind your back by the force of both your bodies colliding.
"I don't care, and neither should you! They have been nothing but cruel to you! You have no idea what they all say about you when you are not in the room and they think I am not listening, depicting you as what you are not. I grow tired of feeling like ripping the throat of everyone around me in this damned court. Restraint is exhausting..." 
As he said this, his eye went to your lips and stayed there. You could feel his hand squeeze your waist as you processed what he had said.
"What do they say about me exactly?" you asked, curious, your voice a mix of pain and anger.
He looked up at you before speaking to you like he would to a child. 
"They think you are a curse, given to you by your time at Dragonstone, perverted by the Black Queen. They say you are the reason I do not spend time with my betrothed, among other things."
You watched him with hurt. Of course they thought that. It wouldn't surprise you if the realm was to whisper about the possibility of you being the Prince's paramour in no time, maybe assuming you had been for years even. After all, you were still unmarried, your father too picky in the choice of finding you a husband even though your House was not the wealthiest of the Westerlands.
"Maybe I'm so irritated because they are right to some extent," he whispered when you didn't answer, putting a strand of your hair away from your face.
"My reputation is ruined, Aemond" you said, a tear appearing in one of your eyes. Nothing you'll ever do will ever erase that."
"They are nothing," he kept on. "When you'll be in the Red Keep, nothing will harm you, not even their meaningless words."
He was caressing your face, tenderly, wiping away the tear that fell from your eye. He was right, you shouldn't care.
"We shouldn't leave now, Aemond. This is folly, even if I hate it here, it would worsen our situation."
You grabbed his elbow in an attempt to weigh your words to him. He looked disappointed at them, even if he did expect them.
"I heard you received a message," he inquired.
"From my father. He is expecting me, it seems."
"And rightly so. So why make him wait, hm?"
The sound he made resonated deeply into your being, giving you goosebumps, almost faltering your focus. You glanced at the window, the storm had passed, and the moon was high, radiating its light onto the sea, a good weather for flying. Still you wouldn't yield.
"Aemond...-" you began, fully intending to make him see reason again.
"Raah," he groaned, head falling down over your chest, and hand onto your shoulder. "Why must you always go against me, always so stubborn..." he said as he lifted his head again, shaking it slightly in disapproval.
You watched him, amused by his reaction and almost proud of your character trait's effect on him. Your smile seemed to soothe him as he cupped your neck with his hand that left your shoulder, a grin on his face.
He was greatly enticing, in the moonlight now filtering through the glass. His lips seemed soft, and you felt your heart beating faster. Oh no, you thought.
Your eyes on his lips was enough to shift the atmosphere completely, making you more flustered than you have ever been. He placed his forehead against yours, his breath on your lips, so close they would touch if you moved by only an inch. You shot up to his eye, a fire burning inside it.
"Tell me that you want it," he exhaled, eyes closed. "Tell me that you desire it too."
You struggled to breathe, he seemed to have taken your very being hostage. Your lips apart, you waited for your words to be able to form again, but your arms moved on their own as you put them around his neck and pulled him closer, pulled to him by a force you failed to understand.
Then his lips crashed onto yours. His hand at your waist squeezed so hard it made you wince, but you didn't care, you needed it. His scent invaded your senses as his skin was as hot as burning fire, alike to yours, pressing against each other. He tasted so much better than you ever dreamt of, it sent your head spinning, your shame forgotten.
You moaned as his kiss was turning into a more heated and passionate one as seconds passed, he groaned in frustration when you felt his hardness against your belly.
He kissed you more and more roughly as you allowed your hands to pass through his hair, touching the softness of it, even daring to pull it a little. He groaned at that and left your mouth to kiss your jaw, throat and neck, licking his way down.
"You smell so good, gods you feel so good Y/N," he said in a trembling voice. His tongue was where your neck and shoulder met, kissing it hard, biting even. You didn't mind, it was exhilarating. 
You whimpered when one of his hands struggled with the fabric hiding your chest, warm hands at the base of your neck, squeezing it lightly as he tried to untie the laces of your front.
"Aemond that's-" Good, you wanted to say, but he prevented you from finishing your words, convinced you were going to resist him in some way, so he pressed his knee in between your legs, making you gasp hardly as he pressed against your sensible part.
He watched your reaction with a satisfied smirk, taking the opportunity to speak over your mouth.
"What is it, my Lady? Is there something you want to say? A complaint perhaps? Or did you wish to say how much you like it."
You whimpered again, feeling your heart throbbing against his knee, and you felt his smile through the kiss he gave you as he kept on his ministrations on your laces, satisfied by your silence.
He cupped your breasts, finally able to touch them as he liked, squeezing and caressing them as he once more kissed the base of your neck, getting closer and closer.
You fidgeted a little on your position, causing your middle to flatten against his knee again and you hissed at the unexpected pleasure, cursing at your movement and holding on to his shoulders for dear life as you couldn't help but dig your nails onto the fabric of his clothes. You suddenly hated the many layers he wore, your fingers wanting to feel more of him.
"Ah..." he breathed against your breast, voice low. "Eager already are you? That's good, but I wish to take my time with you Y/N. I have waited all of these years, I can wait a little while longer.”
You whimpered again. Yes .
"I thought-" you hissed as he bit your nipple. "I thought we were in a haste to return to your family."
"Surely you cannot travel in this state," he replied. "Look at you, so gorgeous and needy..." he growled. "I have to take care of you first."
This thought made you weak, his knee now departing from between your thighs. He then proceeded to press himself against you as you closed your eyes, taking pleasure in the sensation.
You felt one of his hands rest on your stomach before absently making its way down, reaching your middle. He growled against your skin as you tensed at the touch.
"Fuck." His hand was now touching the warm and now damp fabric of your gown, discovering your arousal.
His swearing and the position of his hand would have shocked you if you were in any other predicament. Only you realised that you liked it very much with that specific voice of his, as you didn't often hear him swear in your presence. I suited him.
"I'm sure you taste so sweet Y/N, would you like me to taste you?" he asked, in the process of lifting your gown to your thigh and his palm was soon on your warm skin. You gasped.
"You can't even imagine the many nights I spend thinking about you in this way, and now you are everything and more than I hoped," he whispered, his fingers pressing against your inside. His eye went from lazy arousal to hot desire in a matter of seconds, as he stared at your features now completely at his mercy.
You wanted to reply, tell him that he was not alone, but you couldn't, your pride and playful tendency telling you that it would be better to make him beg for you to admit it.
Pure lust showed from his face now, and he began stroking your sensitive spot, pleasure eliciting sweet sounds from your mouth. Suddenly he stopped, took hold of your leg under your knee and put it over his hip. You held on to his shoulder at the change of position when he lifted you up from the floor, carrying you easily.
The loss you felt as he removed his fingers was quickly replaced by his hard state pressing against your soft one as he carried you over to the bed, his tongue lashing into your mouth in the process, and laid you down on the sheets, his body over yours.
It was now easier for him to hold up your gown even if he really wanted to rip it apart, stopping himself for your sake, rather sliding a hand beneath it to caress your belly and finding his place once again between your thighs. His breath was heavy as he watched you arch your back when he finally put his fingers inside of you.
"So tight..." He thrust his fingers again, making shameful sounds resonate through the room. He rested his head on the inside of your neck, glancing at you sideways. You were loudly moaning now, and you worried that you were to be heard outside.
"Gods Aemond I-" you gasped as you felt his fingers hit at the right spot over and over, making you pull his hair in despair. "I need-, I need more."
He chuckled next to your ear, visibly more than delighted that you fulfilled his deepest wishes. You at his complete mercy. But you were not quite there yet.
"It's not very lady like to demand such things without any manners, love. I should be asked properly," he replied, not stopping his movements inside you. You sighed in despair as you considered indulging him, begging was not something you usually did. But his thrusts were making you crazy. So you said it.
"Please Aemond," your voice trembling as you said his name, arching your head back, enjoying the sweet sensation of building pleasure. You reopened your eyes just to see him with an indefinable expression over his face, something between the most menacing stare you’ve ever witnessed, and absolute satisfaction. He then moved his body down from you, levelling his head to the spot between your thighs. You ached in anticipation. He rubbed his thumb on your sweet spot at first, too slowly for your taste, before flattening his mouth on your wetness.
You screamed loudly, and your hand shot to your mouth to stop other sounds from escaping it. His tongue hot against your folds, he was holding on to one of your legs tightly, sure to leave a mark on it later on. You didn't know how much time had passed since this moment, only that you were unable to properly register anything else than the pure pleasure you felt at Aemond kissing you this way. You only knew that at one point, you had put your hand into his hair, grabbing it, and that the other clutched so tightly to the sheet underneath you that you feared you would rip it apart.
At some point Aemond sucked, hard. It was too much, you were close, and your back arched so much that he had to force his hand on you to keep you still. He glanced at you when your moans were beginning to sound more desperate, taking in your sight as you struggled to keep quiet. He kept on his ministrations, devouring you as his fingers found once again their way inside you, and your muscles began to tighten around them.
Pleasure overcame you, your release left you panting heavily. You felt over sensitive as Aemond rubbed your sweet spot softly one last time. When you looked at him, he was already looking intensely at you, lust in his eye, as he had not missed one piece of your expression when he contented you. He licked his lips as he came to rest beside you on the bed, kissing you, your taste still on his mouth.
"You taste so good I would have you attached to this bed all night if I could," he said in a low voice, putting your hair aside from your neck to grant him access. Your breath evened as you find the ability to speak again.
"Would it be so bad?"
He smiled at that, one hand reaching to rest on your stomach.
"Unfortunately, this is not the right place to entertain such thoughts. But soon, maybe," he said mysteriously. You began to shift toward him, curious of what he would do now, his arousal still evident when you looked at his lower half.
But he unexpectedly got up and walked toward the door, leaving a cool sensation as his warmth left you.
"I will let you rest," he said, reaching for the door. "We depart as soon as the sun is up."
When the door closed, you felt the gloom of the quiet room again, engulfing you. You almost felt disappointed, he had put your pleasure over his, at least that is how you viewed it. You shivered, your heart still beating fast.
Soon sleep took you. You were soon to depart, rest will do you good.

The Enemy PART 8: (Aemond Targaryen x Reader FANFIC) 18+ SMUT WARNING
Tumblr media
Pairings: Aemond Targaryen x f!reader 
Summary: (Y/N) pulls a stunt at dinner which leaves Aemond seething with rage, the fallout unfolds.
Warnings: strong language, sexual themes throughout, SMUT, Aegon because he needs a warning all to himself, Dark!Aemond, incestuous relationship between uncle x niece, violence, predator/prey themes, Dom!Aemond, Switch!Reader.
Authors Note: Hello lovely people! I am back on my Aemond bullshit again so decided to finish this chapter that I have had in the works for the last couple of weeks! I am hoping to update again soon and am working on that today. Toying with the idea of writing a Modern!Aemond story.
IF YOU WISH TO BE ADDED TO THE TAGLIST PLEASE DM ME!
Several hours later you woke still laid bare on the table in the library, Aemond was nowhere to be seen. A wave of shame washed over you, you couldn’t believe you gave in to him so easily, allowed him to touch you to be with you after all the pain he has caused.
No more you thought, this would not happen again it simply couldn’t. What would your mother think, she would be ashamed of you opening your legs for this man so easily. The man who murdered your little brother, who has kept you locked in a room for an extensive amount of time.
Gathering yourself you make the journey back to your room praying to the gods the journey is as swift as possible fearing you may encounter members of the court in your current state. Questions would be asked, eyebrows raised, and your honour called into question. This man has taken too much from you already you would not let him take your reputation as well.
For the remainder of the day, you confined yourself willingly to your chamber, changing from the garments you wore previously and scrubbing yourself until you felt clean again. Until you washed away any trace of him from your skin, if you had to smell him on you any longer you were going to claw your own skin off. Your own body still betraying you as it begs for the smell of him to remain, to linger in the air.
You spent that night on the ledge of your window staring out into the night, your mind playing the events of the last few days over and over in your mind on a sick loop. You wished for the comfort of home right now, for the joyous feeling of tumbling with your brothers, the smell of the salt air, the cool lick of the sea and most of all to be held by your mother. You longed to be in her arms again, for her to run her fingers through your hair as she whispers words of love in your ear. You wanted your dragon, to feel the wind rushing through your hair to watch the land below you grow smaller.
You must have fallen asleep on the ledge as the heat of the rising morning sun kissed your face, the light rousing you from your sleep. After hearing you pacing around your room your maid Torra had entered bringing water and fresh clothes as well as more makeup.
“My lady?” she voices causing you to turn as you step into the dress after washing.
“Would you like me to brush your hair?” The look in her eyes tells me there is more to this request and so you gladly accept.
Sitting in the chair in front of the dresser she gathers your long hair and begins to brush through it gently, after several strokes she whispers low enough only for you to hear.
“Do you still have the blade my lady?” you nod lightly “Good my lady, there have been whispers around the castle of Prince Aemond’s escapades, you must tread lightly. His appetite seems to have significantly grown the last day or so…”
“Torra, is the lady Alicent in the castle at the moment I wish to spend more time with her.” There was a glint of something in your eyes, Torra could not work out which emotion only that there was a glint of scheming behind them, and she understood fully that you had to enact on something to rile Aemond.
After spending the afternoon embroidering with Alicent she had insisted you join the family for dinner that evening to which you gladly accepted.
A last-minute decision saw you change from your garments into something slightly more eye catching. The dress was black, pure black adorned with lace and a low neckline with a light application of kohl and a flush of rouge across your lips you made your way down to the hall where the family had gathered as music filled the space.
Everyone’s eyes had turned to fall upon you as you entered the hall lightly nodding to Alicent as you proceeded towards her. A light embrace and a kiss on the cheek was gifted as you arrived at her side.
“You look beautiful my dear” she placed her hand on your shoulder as you thanked her for her compliment.
The evening progressed with idle chat and small bouts of laughter, Aemond’s gaze had burned you the entire evening. His knuckles void of any colour from clenching his fists so hard, struggling to contain the anger bubbling below the surface at your total disregard of him over the entire evening. You had not spoken or looked at him once, it was plain as day he was suffering craving your attention.
From the corner of your eye, you could see Aegon approaching with two goblets in hand as you conversed with Helaena. Upon seeing his incoming arrival Helaena turned from you to converse with her mother, leaning down Aegon passed the goblet to you which you gladly accepted being all too sober for what you knew was going to happen in mere moments.
“(Y/N) you are looking far too ravishing tonight; I simply must have a taste of you.” The hair on the back of your neck stood on end at Aegon and his advances but you must appear convincing, so you lower your gaze and let out a small laugh.
“My King, it is far too early in the evening for us to be disappearing don’t you think?” you raise the goblet to your lips drinking down the wine, it settles your nerves as it makes its way through your body.
You are startled as a thud sounds from the other side of the table and Aemond’s goblet is cast aside.
Alicent throws a curt warning to Aemond as he strides over to his brother and yourself, his eyes are dangerously dark and for the first time you think he might hurt you or his brother.
“If you know what is good for you brother you will leave (Y/N), now!” he has his brother held by the collar of his shirt with one hand.
You sigh in annoyance at his attempts to assert dominance and rise from your chair and out of the hall into the large corridor, hearing your lover and enemy furiously stalking after you. An audible growl echoes off the walls sending a violent shiver up the length of your spine.
Determined to outrun Aemond you pick up your pace, now breaking out into a slight run. As your feet took you away from him your mind ran at a great speed, every possible scenario flashing before your eyes. Had you pushed him too far this time by taunting him with his brother?
“Darling if you know what’s good for you stop running. You can’t escape me!” he roared after you leaving you almost instinctually frozen in fear.
With shaking hands, you reached for the handle on your chamber door throwing it open but before you could take the leap into your room a breath from behind you made the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. He was behind you; you are certain of this you can feel the rage radiating off his body as he traps you between his firm body and the safety of your room.
“I thought I warned you not to get cute.” A hand grabs the back of your neck forcing your head back to see Aemond, his eyes black with fury and arousal.
“Aemond…” you manage to choke out, his nose pressed to your hair and lips grazing your ear.
A hand grasps his wrist that has a hold of your neck, a dry laugh heaving its way to the surface. Surprisingly the fear has turned to confidence as you simply say, “Payback darling”.
The small of your opposite hand holds his hard cock applying light pressure, pride swelling in your chest at the affect you have had on him over dinner.
“I am going to have you until you forgot how to form words, that cunt of yours will be ruined when I am finished with you.” He snarls as you are pushed into your chamber the door slamming behind you.

Part 1
Summary: You and Eddie have known eachother since childhood, though a falling out between the two of you has led to you guys becoming distant. Can Uncle Wayne and your parent's meddling solve this issue?
Pairing: Eddie Munson x reader
A/N: Sorry it's been so long since I posted, but I don't have much motivation atm. If you wanna send any requests, please feel free! Anyways, hope you enjoy :)
<><><>
When Wayne told Eddie to wear something nice, he thought maybe Wayne was bringing home a lady friend, but not this. Wayne had invited the family from across the street over, and with them their daughter, you.
These dinners used to consist of a younger you and Eddie scheming on one side of the table while the adults conversed on the other, but you hadn’t really talked to each other in years. Mostly because of high school. Eddie didn’t like your taste in friends, and he never really invited you around his either. I wonder what made her decide to come. Must have been her parents blackmailing her of some kind.
Eddie fully walks into the living room and takes his place by Wayne’s side. He greets your family politely before awkwardly saying hi to you as well. You give him a half-smile before turning back to the others.
“Alright everyone,” Wayne claps, “who is ready to eat? Eddie, can you go grab the ham for me?” Eddie nods as he sees your mother whisper in your ear before pushing you towards the kitchen as well. Eddie tries to pay it no mind as he enters the room and heads towards the drawer holding the potholders. He reaches the drawer just as you enter the kitchen.
“Hey, my mom said you might need help carrying stuff?” you question looking around at the dishes on the counter.
“That’s okay, I got it” Eddie dismisses before grabbing the two handles on the dish. It would take him more trips but he didn’t really want you in his way.
“What about these green be-”
“Yeah sure” Eddie cuts you off as he walks out the door. You give a weak glare at his back before grabbing the food and returning to the dinner table.
Dinner is fairly uneventful other than the subtle brags from both sets of parents. You put it down as your mom trying to get brownie points for having a good kid. Wayne mainly bragged about Eddie’s band and his new job at the local mechanic shop. This was news to you since the last you heard of Eddie, he was working at Family Video.
During the night, as the adults bordered on a little too tipsy, your parents and Wayne stopped focusing on you two and were engaged in conversation amongst themselves. Choosing to break the silence, rather than wallow in the awkwardness, you turn towards Eddie who Wayne had seated right across from you.
“So… how are you liking the new job?” you ask politely, hoping for an easy connection, but Eddie never made it easy for you.
“It’s alright I guess,” he stabs the food on his plate muttering, “I don’t think you’d really know what I was talking about if I told you anything else” he dismisses turning back to the meal. You are unfettered by his comments as you continue,
“Oh well, what made you wanna work there?” you ask.
“I got sick of Steve being my manager, so I quit. Just so happens that Wayne knew this guy that owns the shop, and he got me a job there.” He explains quickly as if trying to get out of the conversation as soon as possible.
Feeling dejected by his replies, you give a quick “well, that’s nice” before going back to eating silently. Neither of your parents seemed to have noticed the exchange between you two, as the atmosphere doesn’t change much after.
Finally, it was time for the awkward goodbyes and waves before you were hopping in your dad’s chevy and headed home. You barely made it into bed before you were fast asleep hoping to forget the weird night you just had.
<><><>
Saturday came as a blessing, as you were finally allowed to catch up on some much-needed rest. Crawling out of your cocoon at around 11, you walk downstairs to an empty house. Looking out the living room window, you see that both of their cars are gone. A large yellow piece of paper draws your eyes as you wander through the kitchen doorway. Picking up the note, you begin to read:
Hey Hun, me and your father have some stuff that we need to get done today so we won’t be back until late. Don’t forget that Aunt Janice should be getting there at around 3 pm so please make sure the house is clean when she gets there. Love you!
-Mom
You groan out loud before slamming the paper back down. It took you a couple hours to finish cleaning the house. You plop your exhausted body down on the couch right before the doorbell goes off. Struggling to stand, you slump to the door. Opening the curtains reveals the face of Eddie Munson equipped with a shiny red toolbox in hand. You shoot him a confused look, but open the door anyway. He walks in, casually hanging his jacket, before turning to explain.
"Uncle Wayne sent me here. He said you were having a problem with your car and to come look at it." he says imploringly impatient. You don't give him time to say anything more before you're already bounding off towards the garage with a wide grin (with a hesitant Eddie following behind).
<><><>
“Maybe you should try to convince him to go to prom with you?” you teased.
“Yeah, probably not,” he dismisses while turning back to the car. Wow, he actually looked at me for longer than two seconds this time. I think that’s a record.
“Plus, I’m not even going to prom, so it won’t matter much.” The statement cuts through your thoughts abruptly, but your reply is quick.
“Wait, you're missing your senior prom again?”
“y/n, you know this is my second senior year, I don’t think it matters much anymore.” He replies easily while grabbing a tool from the box behind him.
“Yeah, but this could be your last one and you haven’t been to prom since your junior year!” you exclaim quickly as you move into his sight to give him a disappointed look, “and didn’t you say that this was your year, it can’t be your year, if you don’t do all the typical high school things,” you reason with him.
You don’t know why you have decided that you needed Eddie to go to prom so badly. Maybe it's that thought that if he was there, you wouldn’t feel so alone or weird or that you’d at least have someone to talk to when your friends ignore you all night. Before you could say anything more though, the doorbell rings throughout the house, muffled by the garage door. With that, your conversation with Eddie is cut short as you leave the garage and head towards the front door.
Upon reaching it you look through the fogged glass and recognize your Aunt Janice’s bright white fur coat. Taking a minute and a breath, you open the door with the biggest smile you can muster.
“Hey Aunt Janice, you made it!” you welcome as you automatically reach to help her with her suitcases.
“Oh hello dear, lovely to see you again.” She responds not giving you much notice as she steps into the house. Her eyes seemed to be searching for all the small new things she could bring up about the place. It only took her a few minutes for her to find something that she disliked, commenting that the new rug would probably look better if it was donated. You chuckle along, as you feed her small comments and information to tide her over.
“Well Aunt Janice, I’m gonna go put these in your room for you.” You tell her as you make hast towards the guest room. Taking a breather while you set her stuff down, you try and decide if you should tell her about Eddie being here or not, and also what you should say to Eddie as well.
<><><>
Aunt Janice had been a bitch your whole life, but you'd think she would at least have some restraint when strangers were around. I guess maybe she didn't see Eddie as much of a stranger since she wasn't holding back.
"Are those the clothes you are gonna be wearing tonight?" She said, haughtily. Aunt Janice had always seemed to dislike you the most out of the family. No matter how primped and polished you are, there's always something wrong for her to comment on. This time it seemed to be the outfit choice that you had picked, although this was a casual setting and you hadn't left the house at all. This wouldn't have made you think twice if it was just family around.
"No," you blush, looking down at your outfit embarrassed.
"I don't know what I'm gonna wear to the party yet. I haven't given it much thought."
"Clearly girl, if you ever want people to take you seriously you have to dress the part." she leaves the room before returning quickly with an expensive looking blouse, "Here, you can wear this. It probably costs more than your whole wardrobe so be careful with it."
You begin to reach for the blouse before Eddie's hand stops you. You look up at him confused, but he's already stepping up beside you with a hard gaze pointed at Janice.
"I think she looks just fine in what she's wearing, but if she wants to change that's her choice," He pushes the shirt back towards Janice's shell shocked face.
"I also think that the price of the thing doesn't always mean that it's better." He gives a shark-like grin before turning back towards you. Before he can speak, Janice cuts him off loudly.
"I don't think anybody asked what you thought, boy."
Oh no, Eddie was in for it now.

lil snippet of some pining!aegon and aemond’s wife (angsty on aegon’s end) i expect it to be finished and uploaded by tuesday! please let me know what you think!!
Tumblr media
Aegon’s never felt this way before. The swelling in his chest so unfamiliar when you smile softly at him, a smile you typically reserve for your husband, directed towards him across the table at dinner.
Your hair is down this evening, something you’ve only started doing recently. Foregoing the braids and just letting it fall down your back, it looks better with the way it frames your face when it’s down, Aegon thinks to himself. By the looks of it, Aemond thinks so to.
Aemond loves you, his sweet and kindhearted lady wife, so very deeply. At one point it would’ve made Aegon sick to his stomach to witness, willing him to throw up whatever . The way he dotes on you, holds your hand while you walk through the Keep, brushes your hair back when it gets in the way of your reading, tenderly rubs your face with his thumbs when you get excited while talking.
It still does make him sick to his stomach, just not in the same way it used to. No. This sickness crawls at his chest, a feeling so cold yet so hot, and his stomach twists into tight knots, hands clamp up and throat swells in an unfamiliar way. It makes him feel like he’s dying.
Perhaps he is. Maybe not having a love like the love you hold for Aemond will ultimately be what kills him. He’s sure Helaena could love him if he could show her any kindness. He doesn’t want that kind of love from Helaena.
Aegon’s eyes watch as Aemond continues his conversation with Jason Lannister, but hand reaches for yours as you speak animatedly with Helaena about something.
His ears are ringing as he grabs the cup full of wine and downs it in two gulps. Aemond’s hand squeezes yours twice, you smile at Helaena as you squeeze his back. The servant girl refills his cup for him, tearing his eyes away from your joined hands he looks to her.
Her hair is the same color as yours. Though, her eyes aren’t the same color, eyebrows aren’t the same shape, lips are quiet a bit smaller than yours. Her hand looks about the same size as yours, even if it is rougher and has callouses.
She will do. He supposes.
“What is your name?” He looks away from her as he asks, and her hold on the pitcher tightens.
“I’m sorry?” Her voice is shaky, she’s already annoying him.
His head snaps back to hers, eyes boring deeply into her own as the girl feels her blood run cold, “I asked you for your name.”
She looks around the table. Her eyes lingering at the Queen, his mother, Helaena, and you for a moment.
“My name is Elaine, my Prince,” He hums a bored tone before nodding.
“I will require wine in my chambers after dinner, Elaine.” His voice isn’t soft, and he doesn’t hide what he plans on doing later.
His mother looks furious, Helaena just looks down at her plate. You, however, you look almost disappointed. As if you couldn’t believe he would do such a thing, let alone in front of his own wife.

Tumblr media
Taking a sip of wine from the glistening golden-coloured glass cup, your eyes scanned the dinner room lit by the flames of the candles.
The sound of quiet chattering surrounded the large, wooden dinner table – and occasionally, some loud, sudden laughter could be heard, meaning everyone was having a pleasant betrothal dinner ceremony. It was quite unlike you had always imagined, it was far more dreamy and tranquil than the original idea of being betrothed and soon-to-be-wed to a sick bastard who'd either ignore, or use you as his personal plaything. Instead, the young Prince – and Lord of the Tides – Lucerys Velaryon, second son of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen, had accepted your father's proposal of accepting the Queen as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, only if he married you.
Barely knowing him, you could already tell he'd be a charming gentleman and husband – especially noticing the way he stared, slightly grinned, and lightly blushed the very first moment he saw you upon his arrival to Storm's End. His voice and presence was of warm and quiet nature, and you found yourself enjoying that, even if throughout the entire dinner he had yet not spoken to you.
Your hand gently descended to place back the shining golden cup on the table, and your hands now sat on your lap, being clasped together. As you were sitting by your betrothed's side, there was a slight awkward silence between you – none of you yet daring to speak a word, even if a growing spark of mutual love increased in between both of you. But you distracted yourself by staring at the new faces that you were yet to be familiarised with, and admiring the grandeur of the Castle that you'd probably live in soon.
As your eyes wandered around the large dinning room and quietly admiring it, an intense, burning feeling of someone's eyes being placed on you wouldn't let you distract yourself with your own thoughts, trying to escape the awkwardness of the silence between your betrothed and you. Strangely enough, you couldn't spot anyone staring at you in a deep way – since everyone was pretty much lost either on their own world, or simply having a conversation with whomever was sat by their side. As you gently turned around to your left, you finally spotted your betrothed's green hazel eyes being fixed on you – and immediatly lowered his gaze to his lap, as a notoriously warm fluster grew on his cheeks, a shy grin formed on his face from having been lost in his thoughts at how dreamily pretty you were. In response, you sweetly chuckled at him, and leaned to his side.
“No need to stare, my Prince, you can talk to me.” you whispered, with a hint of teasiness on your voice, in hopes of making his fluster to grow. His eyes shyly lifted to look into yours; your eye colours both highlightened by the flames of the candles that lit the room. “After all, I don't bite... or do I?” some chuckles spewed from your lips, as he nervously and awkwardly giggled at you. “I, uh– yes, I apologise, my Lady, for the staring.” his words came stuttering, and shyly stumbling upon each other as he tried to say something coherent, and not so awkward-looking; but his attempts seemed to be futile, as your charming and naturally teasing personality provoked a certain enamoured fluttering feeling on his chest. At seeing how he stammered, you slightly tiltered your head to your side, and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. “I was just joking with you,” you reassured, looking into his green eyes. “I don't mind being stared at... especially, when you're the one doing it, my Prince.” flashing him a quick, playful wink, a nervous giggle escaped his lips – resembling that of a schoolgirl gushing at her crush, as he fidgeted very slightly with his fingers.
“Please, call me Luke, my Lady.” he responded quietly, not having idea of what other appropiate answer he could give you to keep the conversation going. “Very well... Luke.” his name rolled smoothly from your lips, and you found yourself loving saying his name outloud, as much as he loved – and was absolutely smitten – about how perfect his name sounded when you said it. “Then, it is only fair you get to call me (y/n) as well.” your hand was raised from his shoulder, to cup his warm, rosy cheek, and tenderly caressed it with your thumb.
“(y/n)... yes, of course.” Luke awkwardly mumbled your name, enjoying the mutual satisfaction of hearing each other names on escaping from your lips. Upon the feeling of your soft and delicate thumb stroking his cheek in a loving, soothing manner, the crimson-red colour glistened all over his face, and kept growing with every passing second, as his lips quivered with excitement at the pleasant feelings he had around you – and of course, you noticed it in a heartbeat. “You know, Luke,” you began speaking once again, “You look pretty when you blush. Do it more often.” his eyes widened in surprise, and his lips partly opened to respond something regarding it; but nothing except mere astonished stuttering came from him. “I like you already, Luke. You're cuter than I imagined my betrothed would be.” Seeing him in such state, you adoringly chuckled at him, and leaned closer to him, giving him a quick peck on his flustered cheek – then quickly went back to your original position in your wooden chair, leaving him speechless at your actions, yet lowly stuttering some things.
Your hand leisurely descended from his cheek, and found it's way to his soft hand, interwining fingers and gently squeezing his hand under the table, seeing how nobody had seemed to notice your interaction. While a broad, joyful grin began forming upwards on the corner of his pinkish lips, a satisfied smirk was seen on your lips – and a small blushing as well, which you were better than him at hiding it – as you realised the effect you had on the young, enamoured Prince... leaving him red, as a rose.

The first few days living with this new human were weird. Michael had been allowed to eat as much as he'd wanted, sleep as much as he'd liked and generally been left to his own devices. He hadn't ventured much further than the kitchen table other than a few trips to the bathroom where again he'd been left alone to bathe in private without a strict time limit. Definitely weird. Bit by bit Michael started to feel slightly less tense, and with every passing day when he wasn't hurt or humiliated he started to hope that maybe that part of his life was really over.
It had been so long since he'd felt safe. His mother had died when he was very young and her couldn't remember much about her, just a little tune she would hum to herself when she was sewing. It had just been him and his dad since then and he'd been taken out to start learning how to borrow when he was 10. He'd never been as good at it as his dad but he was keen to learn and eager to help. Then his dad died when he was 15, he'd had a nasty cut from a nail and got really sick. Michael had even borrowed some medicine from the humans cupboard but it must not have been the right kind because after a few days his dad was gone.
All alone in the world Michael had carried on as best he could, the human in his house was an old lady who lived alone but when she died a new human moved in. Michael knew he would have nightmares about that man until the day he died. It was just meant to be a quick trip along the kitchen counter in the middle of the night, he'd taken a couple of grapes from the fruit bowl and was on his way back home when the lights suddenly switched on and he was seen.
Michael shuddered wanting to push away the memories of that horrible man.
Vince didn't seem like that at all, he seemed to actually want to be friends. Michael just wanted to know for certain so he decided to test his limits
"Vince?" Said Michael one evening as they finished their dinner
"Yeah bud?" Vince replied
"Um, I was wondering if it would be ok for me to sleep somewhere else tonight?" Michael asked nervously
"Yeah of course you can! You don't need my permission for stuff you know you can do as you like! Where were you thinking of?"
"I'd like to try in the walls" said Michael
"In... the walls?" Asked Vince confused
"Um that's where Borrowers usually live, in the gaps in the walls or under the floor boards." Answered Michael nervously
"Oh OK, is that so you can stay hidden?"
"Yes. It's meant to be somewhere humans can't reach"
"Ok so do we just knock a hole into the plaster?"
Michael chuckled at the human being willing to wreck his home to help him "no I'm sure I can find a gap somewhere, there's usually space under the sink where the pipes come in"
Michael was right there was a tight gap where he could squeeze in around the pipes under the kitchen sink. Vince had provided him with a new hook and string as well as a pin to use as a weapon if needed. He'd thought being back in the walls would give him that sense of safety he'd been missing for so long. He'd always been safe in the walls but now the darkness wasn't comforting. The tight space felt like it was closing in around him Michael closed his eyes and tried to breathe through his oncoming panic attack but with his eyes shut he could see the face of his captor laughing as he was closed into the tin. He couldn't breathe he had to get out.
A moment later he was back under the sink thankful for the light where Vince hadn't closed the cupboard door yet. He fell to his hands and knees sobbing and crying to get his breathing back under control
Vince noticed Michael back sooner than he'd expected but when he saw how upset the little man was he dropped to his knees to get a better look
"Michael! What happened are you OK? Are you hurt?"
Michael just shook his head not trusting himself to speak yet
"Can I pick you up?" Asked Vince
Michael gave a small nod and was gently scooped up into Vince's hand. Holding him to his chest Vince gently rubbed his thumb down the little man's back like he had done that first day. Michael gripped onto the huge shirt in front of him and sobbed.
Eventually the crying quieted and stopped but Vince kept gently stroking down his back.
"Sorry" sniffed Michael quietly rubbing his face and trying to pull himself together
"Don't be daft, nothing to apologise for. Are you OK?"
Michael sighed deeply "no, not really"
"You can try again later if you like?"
"Urgh! I hate this!" Exclaimed Michael. "Small dark spaces are meant to be safe, to feel safe. But all I could think of is being trapped in that tin again, thinking I was about to die. How is it that I'm free of him and still not free of him? It's not fair" Michael began to cry softly again.
"Give it time, give yourself a break. You said you were stuck with that guy for years right? Well it's barely been a week of course you're still gonna struggle. I'm positive it will get easier with time" Vince lifted Michael so he was at eye level and gently brushed a tear from the tiny man's cheek. "You know the offer still stands to beat the shit out of that guy, you just tell me where he lives and I'll go tear him a new arsehole"
Michael chuckled softly and hugged the giant thumb, "We moved 3 or 4 times when I was with him I wouldn't know where to start. I don't even know his name, he always insisted on 'master' or 'sir'. "
"What do you want to do about sleeping then? Do you want to try something else?" Asked Vince
"I dont know what else to try, I've always either lived in the walls or in a cage" replied Michael sadly
"Ok so we need somewhere that's your space, that you can get to easily but not feel trapped or in the dark" Vince said as he began wandering around his flat still holding Michael in his hands "what about the bookcase? I could empty out the bottom shelf?"
"Um yeah that could work" said Michael "as long as its not too much bother"
"No bother at all! Here look" Vince placed Michael on the floor by the bookcase and started removing books from the shelf. When the shelf was about half empty he arranged the books in stacks on the floor in front so that the empty space behind was partially hidden. He fetched the blanket that Michael had been using as a makeshift bed and put it on the empty shelf
"How's that?" Asked Vince
Michael stepped into the space, it was small enough to be cosy without feeling trapped, covered enough to feel private without being too dark
"Its perfect" said Michael with a smile
"We can definitely work on it, set up something more permanent for you. I'm off work tomorrow I'm sure we can get at least the bones of a house up for you. Oh wait a sec I've got an idea" Vince suddenly stood up making Michael back up nervously. The giant returned a moment later with a small pen torch. He clicked it on to show Michael how it worked then placed it on the blanket
"This way if something spooks you, you can switch on the light. Or you can leave it on all night if you like" said Vince
"Thank you" said Michael, genuinely touched by the gesture. He could feel tears threatening to fall again. Blinking them back he walked towards the giant's hand resting his smaller one on top of Vince's finger. "Thank you for everything" he said smiling up at the kind giant
Vince smiled back and gently brushed his thumb over the tiny hand
"Happy to help, you deserve to feel safe Michael. Anything I can do to help that just let me know"
