HIII! HOPE YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! I would like to know if you can do one where Reader dies to protect them (jujutsu boys) like there's a special grade curse and Reader know that just one can go left alive so she pushes them away to save them (I have this idea while I listened to Tinkerbell Strange Sight, I don't know it's just hits perfectly whit the jujutsu boys *sigh*)
Hey lovely, I listened to the song, and I see the vision. And even if it's pain, I shall deliver. It'll be done drabble style for each so I can fit it all here w/o it being too long!ā™”
Content: Reader death, sad jjk boys, mourning, depression (mentioned), violence, gore (slight), mentions of blood, it's angsty, so be warned and read at your own pace. Not proofread. Gojo. Getou. Nanami. Choso. Toji.
Tumblr media
Gojo
Shock. Everyone knows he's the strongest. Which is why this hurts so bad. Everyone knows, you knew and still you shoved him out of the way. Taking the brute force of the hit that eventually led to your death. He could barely process it. Why hadn't his eyes seen this? They shook behind his blindfold, even his hands shook too as he looked down at your mutilated body. Blood pouring from many places, he should try to stop it. But in his heart, his soul, he already knew you were gone. It hurt. It felt like his heart was ripped out, smashed, and placed back inside his chest cavity. I wouldn't be surprised if he went overboard when killing the curse after he finally got his bearings.
Getou
Immediate anger. Full on, eyes squinted with his brows furrowed as he clenched his fists. He was angry. With the curse, with society, and even you. How dare you sacrifice yourself like that? He knew he preached for a world where Sorcerers sacrificed themselves for one another. But you were different, as much as he tried not to let you be. He could've taken that curse in seconds, absorbed it. But the stabbing pain of your death to his heart had him obliterating the curse instead. There was nothing left for him to absorb.
Nanami
Pissed off. We saw that episode, he would be extremely pissed off. But unlike Getou, his anger wasn't aimed at you. No no, it could never be. His love. His everything. As your bloody lay on the ground by his feet, he yanked off his tie. Wrapping it around his hand, he didn't care if he died trying to avenge you. He knew this was a special grade. And he understood what your intentions were. Even if he so desperately wished he could've taken your place. Maybe, in his pursuit of revenge, he'd meet you again.
Chosou
Crying/Anger. I think at first anger would boil in his veins. We saw how pissed off he was about his brothers. It'd be the same with you. And like Nanami, he wouldn't blame you or point his anger towards you. Even if he didn't understand why you sacrificed yourself like that, he still would never be angry. Though he hated this decision. It took you away from him. Once the curse was dealt with, his anger slowly subsiding. He'd clutch your dead body in his arms, attempting to somehow move the blood back inside your body. Attempting to fix what had already been broken beyond repair. And it's then, he'd cry. Holding you close to his chest as he weeped over your body.
Toji
Disassociating. I personally believe his mind would go blank. Not in a shocked sort of way, but simply he would go elsewhere. While he ultimately took care of the curse, subconsciously making sure it was erased away from your body, his mind would be long gone. Slicing over and over through the curse, blood splattering on his skin. His brain would be lost in some of his favorite memories with you. And thats where he'd stay for at least a week. Forcing himself to push it down, forget it. I see that as how he chooses to deal with his pain. Though he rarely admitted it due to his personality, he cared a lot about you. And I think he holds some regrets not telling you that more.
A/N: Just a disclaimer that this is how I think they'd handle/react. If you think they'd feel differently, that's okay! You can even tell me about it if you'd like, just be nice about itā™”

Hey. I have an idea for pedro and reader
The reader's ex calls her in the middle of the night begging her back to him and the reader gets out the bedroom trying not to wake pedro up and avoid any fight but he wakes up and gets jealous and angry
Jealous Pedro is my own personal curse lol, I genuinely donā€™t get why you like him. But for you? Anything babes. Also, happy ending won in the poll, but thanks to an anon I've decided to write both endings bc I'm an asshole
warnings: jealousy, angst
Pt.2
Tumblr media
Oh fuck please not again.
Your phone buzzed on the nightstand, and you didnā€™t even need to look at the caller to know who it was.
Only one person would call you at 4:45 am. the same one that had been flooding you with texts and calls for a week now.
You had been ignoring him, telling yourself that ā€œItā€™s just a phaseā€ and ā€œitā€™ll passā€, but god, had you been wrong.
You and Jason had broken up two years ago now, and casually, just when you had finally made your relationship with Pedro public, he felt the need to connect with you again.
That's not how Jason had always been, he was once caring and fun and everything you needed... until he wasn't.
He hadn't taken your breaking up with him well, and you tried to be understanding of it, god knows you had been in the same position too once or twice, your heart broken, your mind confused- but then when after two months he'd still call you crying, you decided to give him a little tough love by texting him something that could be summarized in "I know you're hurt but this is getting kind of ridiculous at this point" and by blocking him.
Somewhere after that, for some godforsaken reason, you had decided to unblock him, and to really show off your decision-making skills, you even answered the phone when he had called you last week, finding him in tears, begging for a second chance.
If you were anyone to judge, this call wasn't gonna be much different, but this story had to end at one point, and as you got up from the bed, sneaking out of the room as Pedro breathed soft snores into the air, you decided the time had come.
"Jason?" you whispered, tiptoeing to the living room.
"baby? Oh my god it's really you, I've been trying to call you"
"yeah I saw" you stated, not short of sarcasm
"Oh t-that's ok, you were busy I jus-"
"no Jason I wasn't busy, this is inappropriate"
"Wha-what are you talking about baby, I love you"Ā 
there went the tears again
"Jason I'm sorry alright, but I don't, I have a boyfriend, I'm happy"
"no you don't understand babe I can't live without you, I love you more than life y/n, more than anything... I- I need you"
"Jason we broke up a long time ago. It's over. It has been for a while now"
"you don't mean that baby, we love each other, remember how good we were together? I know you do"
"stop calling me baby and stop calling me in general Jason. I don't love you and I don't want to get back together" Your voice raised to a whispery-yell as you got more frustrated.
"Why are you whispering- Is he there? Let me talk to him"
"why would I do that? What would you even want to tell him?"
"I'm sure I can make him understand, man to man y'konw-"
"oh shut up" you rolled your eyes "Jason stop calling me"
"but bab-"
"No. No buts, it's over. we're never getting back together. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going back to sleep, and I suggest you do the same"
"y/n please- I love you, I need you I-"
"goodnight Jason. Don't call me again" You didn't give him time to finish as you hung up, throwing your phone on the couch and closing your eyes as you took a very well-deserved deep breath.
Fuck this shit man.
"Who was it?"
You jumped on your feet, a shiver of fear running down your spine as you turned towards the ominous voice.
"Pedro-" you sighed, taking in his sleep-filled expression.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you" he apologized, with a soft chuckle "Who were you talking to?"
shit
"uh- don't worry, it was no one"
"I don't think it was no one if you got up at 4 in the morning to answer, did something happen?"
"no-no nothing like that, it's stupid, don't worry"
He frowned as he studied your expression, clearly confused at your secrecy.
"Who was it?"
Your eyes focused behind him at the glimpse of your room the opened door granted.
Everything was fine just 10 minutes ago...
"It was Jason"
Pedro paused a moment, taken aback by your answer
"Jason as in your ex-boyfriend Jason?" he asked "And why exactly wasĀ JasonĀ calling you in the middle of the night?"
"it's not what you think"Ā 
This was why you didn't want him to know.
He had a history with unfaithfulness, the woman before you had cheated on him multiple times and left him hurt and bruised, and it was hard for him to fully trust you - or anyone for that matter- after that.
you didn't want him to close off again, you trusted each other, and you feared this would have given him a reason to get back to old habits.
"It's not? 'cause it sure looks like it"
"no, let me explain-" you got closer to him.
"I'm so fucking stupid" he huffed, not listening to youĀ 
"no you're not, just-listen to me" you said, putting a hand on his chest in an attempt to calm him down
He watched you, hurt and anger in his eyes, but he took a breath, nodding as he grumbled a "fine"
"He's been calling me for a while-"
"is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"Baby, let me talk" you reminded him, and he gave you another non-enthusiastic nod "He's been calling me since I made our relationship public, saying that he wants to get back with me and that he loves me..." you paused, glancing at the way he tightened his fists by his side "and I've been ignoring him because-" your lips turned into a soft smile as you reached for his hand "...well because I've got you, and I don't want anybody else in the world except you"
You intertwined your fingers with his and brought his hand up to your mouth to leave a quick kiss on it.
"and the only reason why I answered tonight is because I was sick of it, and I wanted to tell him once and for all that we're done because I love you, and only you Pedro" You stood on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek "I promise"
You saw the way your words affected him.
And as much as he tried to fight it, you were always the only one able to calm him down, even when his worst fear came to life. Because he loved you, but most importantly... he trusted you.
"are you telling the truth?" he finally asked, as if in his mind he wasn't praying for you to be doing just that.
He didn't want to lose you, he couldn't.
"I am baby. I swear"Ā 
His eyes left yours for a second as he took a deep breath
"why didn't you tell me? I would have done something, I would have gone have a talk with that asshole"
You let out a small laugh
"yeah, a talk" you teased, raising your eyebrows "And besides it didn't matter, it was just a stupid thing not worth your time"
he took your other hand in his, shaking his head
"if he, or anybody else, does this again you tell me, ok?"Ā 
As much as you wanted to joke about how many crazy exes he believed you had, you decided this wasn't the time.
"ok" you smiled "I promise"
"good" he nodded, bending down to ghost your lips "Now let's go to bed so I can remind you of a few things I'm sure I'm better at than Jason"
__ __ __
or... (angst with no happy ending)
__ __ __
"It's not what you think"
"It's not? 'cause it sure looks like it"
"It was just a phone call Pedro, just let me explain"
"A phone call with your ex-boyfriend"
"yes, exactly myĀ ex-boyfriend"
"This is unbelievable," he huffed, passing a hand through his hair in a frustrated gesture "I fucking trusted you. You made me trust you, and then... then you go screw that fucking asshole behind my back"
"I'm notĀ screwingĀ anybody"
"sure you aren't" he turned to walk away, but you grabbed his arm.
"Listen to me"
"To what? more lies?" he snappedĀ 
"No Pedro I can explain if you just let me talk"
"I don't need an explanation, I know exactly what's going on, just- leave me, I'll go"
"Just like that?" you questioned "You don't even wanna hear me out for a second? You so easily lose all the trust you had in me?"
"Can you blame me?"Ā 
"This is ridiculous, I've answered the phone to tell him to stop calling, that's the only reason why! I'm not cheating on you" you spoke, your tone getting louder "And the fact that you came to that conclusion so quickly is fucking insulting"
"right" he snickered "so you answered the phone at four in the morning to tell him to stop calling, very believable y/n" he shook his head "and to think you're a fucking actress"
"fuck you Pedro" you spat out "You know what? I deserve someone who trusts me, who lets me fucking speak and explain myself, not someone who at the first mistake throws me out like trash"
"And I deserve someone who's not a cheater. Guess we both deserve better"
"I guess we do"

a/n . . ā—Ÿą©­ hereā€™s part one! heyy, loves! iā€™m sorry for the long wait, i have been busy writing other fics and with real life things!
Tumblr media
four months.
it has been four months since you left miles and you couldn't feel anymore miserable, your entire world had revolved around him and it was like it stopped the motion the moment you broke up with him.
he hadn't tried anything to approach you or even contact you, part of it made you mad but the other part was relieved because you didn't know what you would do if miles tried to explain himself again while you were still vulnerable.
you have tried to go on multiple dates since then, but they turned out really badly since either the person was the rudest one you have ever met or stood you up. you were tired of that, what was wrong with this people? asking someone on a date just to treat them like shit, then never trying to speak with you again or not show at all.
now you were getting ready for a party, almost done with your look. you had spent most of the time stressing out on what to wear because you wanted attention but not that much attention so you had to figure out something fast.
after deciding which dress to wear you did your makeup and hair, before putting on some short heeled stilettos to finish off the look. you sighed looking at the mirror, maybe today you could forget about him for a while and focus on having fun for once.
grabbing your purse and double checking that everything you needed was inside of it, you left your house. breathing in the fresh air, you started walking to the convenience store, wanting to buy something before calling an uber.
however your plans changed when you noticed a group of men standing there drinking, smoking and looking crazy. you turned, deciding to just make your way back home and call the uber. the streets were dangerous ever since captain morales died and you didn't want to fall victim to any of this men.
"hey, sweetheart! where you going?" one of them noticed you and called out.
you cursed under your breath, squeezing your eyes together and walking faster.
"now, why are you walking so fast? huh?" the same one that had talked before had ran towards you and caught your arm in his grasp.
"please, leave me alone." now you were scared.
"and why would i do that?" he eyed you from head to toe. "aren't you a doll, wanna go back to my place?"
it sounded like a question but you knew that it wasn't. "listen, i just wanna go home."
"i can go home with you too." he laughed and the others, who you didn't notice had gotten closer, started laughing too.
five grown men surrounding you. this night couldn't get any worse. the one holding you took out a pocket knife and ran it across your face.
"let go of me!" you said, trying to keep it together and not show any fear.
"i don't think so." the man shook his head with a sick grin on his face, lifting the knife from your face and shaking it as well. "nowā€”"
there was a loud slashing sound and suddenly the man was on the floor, blood pooling around him, four deep slashes across his back.
you knew who it was from and you didn't hesitate to run, it was hard on heels but you made it home, locking the door behind you and putting a hand over your mouth to muffle your sobs.
miles had just killed someone. right in front of you, he just killed him. you slid down the door, your hand still covering your mouth as tears fell down from your eyes.
"don't cry, mami." the voice scared you but you had no energy to jump at the sound or to start yelling at him for what he did. "that man ain't worth it."
"just leave me alone, please..." you managed to say.
"what if someone tries to break in?" miles asked, kneeling in front of you. "what if you get harassed again? won't you want me there for you? to protect you?"
you finally looked over at him, a claw was laying beside him, covered in blood and his suit had some fresh blood on it.
"you killed them all?" you asked.
"of course i did," he nodded with a sweet smile, making him appear so innocent. "one laid his hands on you while the others just watched. they all deserved what they got."
"you killed them."
"yes, and i would do it again to protect you."
"miles, you killed." you took a shaky breath. "because of me."
"no, princesa." he shook his head. "i killed for you. there is a difference."
"what difference?" you asked angrily. "it's all the same. for me, because of me. it's my fault they died."
"no, it's their fault for messing with what's mine." miles corrected. "i was just protecting you, princesa. if i had let them live they could have attacked you again or another person."
you thought about this, he was right. "they could've attacked another person." you repeated and nodded. "you're right."
"of course, i'm right." miles smirked, knowing that he was breaking through. "i always make sure you're okay, even checking in on the guys you set up your little dates with."
"what?" you asked confused.
"well, some of them weren't nice to my princesa so i had to take care of that. and others didn't deserve a date with you." he shrugged.
"but you only did that to protect me, right?"
"of course, mi angelito." he nodded.
"everything that you have done was for that too?"
"yes," miles nodded, encouraging your thoughts of you needing him. "so will you take me back?"
"yeah," you nodded, wiping your tear stained cheeks with a smile.
"good," miles nodded and grabbed your chin with the same hand he used to kill, pulling you in to leave a peck on your lips. "you are never going to leave me again, understand?"
you nodded.
"i asked if you understand?" he said more forcefully.
"yes, bonito." you answered verbally this time.
miles smirked. "good."
he pulled you back in for a real kiss this time, his mouth coming in contact with yours into a blissful kiss. his tongue pushed its way inside your mouth, fighting yours and winning, exploring every inch of the place he missed so much.
"don't ever think about going out with other men again." miles said between kisses. "los matarƩ, entiendes?"
"yes." you nodded and pulled him back in to kiss him.
you just missed him so much. why were you so stupid to leave him in the first place? all he wanted was to protect you.

Mine?
Summary: Grayson's world is about to turn upside down.
ā€¢ā—‹ā—ā›¦ā—ā—‹ā€¢
A/n: ehehehe
ā€¢ā—‹šŸŒ‘ā—‹ā€¢
Grayson sighed, rubbing at his brows.
"So you're telling me we need to get Y/n's approval for this project?"
"Yes." Aaron Galathynius stared Grayson down until he looked away, frustrated.
"But she is missing. She won't answer my calls, and you refuse to give me her location. What am I supposed to do?"
Grayson was sure that even if she hadn't been ignoring him like her life depended on it, she would have rejected the idea without even considering.
Galathynius gave him an unamused glance before turning to the papers spread on the table. "You do know that's my daughter you're talking about."
Grayson refrained from letting him know exactly who he was talking to. That without Grayson's grandfather, the Galathynius family would still be some nobody business, hoping desperately to make it.
But he only stopped himself only because he was friends with Aaron's daughter and would do anything to talk to her again, and fighting with her father was probably the fastest way to make sure she never talked to him again.
Grayson sighed again, picking up his coat and shoving his arms through. "Call me when you are ready to answer my questions, and maybe we can proceed."
Turning, Grayson stalked over to the glass doors and stormed out, letting them swing shut behind him.
Once in his car, Grayson pulled out his phone, staring at her contact name. She would not pick up, Grayson knew. She would leave it ringing just like she had been doing over the past year.
But still, trying to contact her was better than wondering about what he had done wrong for his best friend to ignore him so.
So he tapped his screen, and stared until the call cut off by itself after ringing for a good few minutes.
Grayson sighed, turning to stare out the window at the scenery that passed by.
Gray knew sleeping with her was a bad idea, but he hadn't been thinking. He hadn't thought that it would get this serious when he refused to apologise.
But he'd just found out about Eve's betrayal a few hours before Y/n had visited him in his bedroom and he wasn't really thinking, and that led to things escalating faster than Grayson could understand. And the next thing he knew, he stared down at her limp and spent form in horror, sated with the pleasure he had delivered.
She had smiled at him softly before she realised he did not look happy. Then she had shot up, reaching out for him. He leaned back, staring at her before stumbling out of bed. He could see her heart breaking, but he could not let himself think too much about the fact that he was the reason she got hurt.
"This was a mistake."
He'd mumbled out the three words that had broken the friendship that the two of them shared, and as he walked away towards his wardrobe to clean up, he could have sworn he had heard her curse him.
Heard her heart shattering.
But he could not bring himself to care as he hurriedly put on clothes. When he'd stepped out, she was nowhere to be seen, the clothes he had ripped off her body and discarded haphazardly on the ground gone, the only thing left behind her lingering scent.
He had seen her once after that, coming out of his mother's house when he went to visit her regarding something about the foundation. She'd had tears in her eyes and her arms wrapped around her body, as if to protect herself. He had tried to talk, but of course, he had been ignored.
Now, as the Hawthorne house rolled into view, Grayson told himself what he was about to do was not wrong. That this decision was for the best.
"Zabrowski? I need you to find someone for me."
ā€¢ā—‹šŸŒ‘ā—‹ā€¢
The apartment complex looked posh, but it was nothing compared to what Grayson was used to. Still, he had to give it to Y/n. She had always been good at picking out the perfect things.
Grayson stared at the elevator door, making sure he did not let his anticipation and nervousness show as he neared the fifteenth floor, where Y/n had taken residence in according to Zabrowski.
Zabrowski had also mumbled something about a child in passing, but Grayson had forgotten all about it until a few hours ago.
As the elevator doors dinged open and Grayson stepped out, he wondered if Y/n had finally found someone. Wondered if she had stopped just having hopeless crushes and actually acted on her feelings for whoever, that maybe she was now pregnant as he rang the bell of apartment 1502.
He got his answers the moment the door in front of him opened, and out peeked the head of his best friend.
"Y/n."
Her name escaped him on a thin exhale, a weird feeling spreading through Grayson's chest. He watched as her lips parted in shock, her eyes only widening a fraction.
"Grayson?"
He dared to smile at her. "It's me-"
A loud cry broke the moment between the two, and Grayson's interest piqued when Y/n whipped around, letting go of the door as she ran towards where the sound was coming from.
Grayson knew it was wrong of him to push the door open and look for himself. but he could not help the curiosity.
He watched as the simple white button up shirt she was wearing puffed a little with air, her leg muscles flexing and contracting as she moved, stared as her shirt rode up a little to show the denim shorts she was wearing.
He watched as she ran towards the couch set in front of a wall of glass, looking out over the forest of buildings, and bent to...
Pick up a baby.
Looking at her cooing softly at the child was a shock to Grayson's system as she had always said that she did not want kids, or at least not until she had seen the whole world and was far older.
Grayson was damn sure she could not have seen the world in just one year, so either she had changed plans, or the baby was unexpected.
Grayson also knew he had been her first time.
Horror spread through his chest when Y/n turned around a little, smiling down at the... blonde baby with grey eyes wearing a cute litte pink onesie, who giggled back at Y/n. Her mother.
Grayson could not take his eyes off of the child, and it was a long moment before Y/n turned to him fully, her eyes widening.
Grayson finally glanced up, meeting his best friend's eyes. His voice cracked when he finally spoke, his eye stinging.
"Mine?"
Y/n did not reply, stalking over to the door and slamming it shut in his face. The loud crash echoed in the empty hallway, the sound deafening, heartbreaking.
But Grayson did not pay it much attention, the only thing ringing in his ears his own voice asking the question and the unsaid answer.
Mine?
Mine.

katieeee i just finished a rlly sad book (the song of achilles) and iā€™m just imagining aaron coming home and finding you crying on the couch and heā€™s trying to figure out what happened but youā€™re a blubbering mess and he finally calms you down and you tell him that the ending was really sad and he laughs but is like aww baby iā€™m so sorry and you cry in his arms but he was soooo worried about you
šŸÆ anon
(un)happy ending
omg omg omg cw; fluff!!!
a shudder of a breath escaped you just as aaron entered the room, causing him to immediately freeze.
he didn't dare skip a beat. "what's wrong?"
of course, all the worst case scenarios filled his head. he immediately took notice of your tears, trailing down your cheeks and landing your (his) crewneck. some had dried, some were fresh, and he mentally cursed at himself that he hadn't known you've been crying- being too preoccupied with the files he had brought home- for who knows how long now, alone.
you opened your mouth to say something, but you dissolved into more tears instead.
"honey, you have to help me understand. what's wrong?" he asked again, a buzz of adrenaline racing through his body. there were only a few times he could recall you crying this hard, so whatever had gotten you so upset, it couldn't be good.
the expression on your face was absolutely broken, gazing up at him through your tears as you held up your closed book.
oh.
"aw sweetheart," a soft chuckle left his lips, his brown eyes sad in your regard, but slightly humorous all the same. "sad ending?"
your face crumbled even more as you simply nodded your head, while aaron let out another small laugh as he crawled onto bed with you.
"c'mere." he said quietly as he gathered you tightly into his arms, while you nearly molded yourself into his chest, trying to be as close as humanly possible.
"it's okay." he mumbled into your hair, placing a soft kiss on the top of your head. he could feel your body trembling against his, and his hand found placement on the width of your back, moving it in all different directions to calm you down.
"it was so sad." you whispered, taking another shaky breath that shuddered through you as you attempted to recall the ending. "so, so sad. they didn't... it..."
"i bet it was darling, i'm sorry." aaron granted your head another kiss as his hand moved to your forearm, rubbing it in a up and down motion. "wanna watch a happy movie? would that help? could get your mind off it."
"and cuddles?" you whimpered, your bottom lip sticking out in a pout as you looked up at him. tears were still brimming your eyes, and they dropped onto his shirt this time as you blinked.
"and cuddles." he confirmed, pecking your lips gently. "whatever'll make you feel better."

Myriad ā€¢ Aizawa
Tumblr media
I kind of hate this, but also, it was fun to write - that being said, which character should i do next (after shiggy)
also, these will all be drabbles because I can't commit to fics. It just never works out
myriad masterlist
Tumblr media
****
You were an enigma.
Aizawa, in all his years as both a Pro-Hero and a teacher, had never come across someone like you.
What was your quirk?
He'd been your teacher for nearly a whole semester, and he wasn't any closer to guessing the nature of your quirk.
The Quirk Registration Database had, shockingly, been little help. You were barely mentioned in the directory - your name was only accompanied by the vague mention of the number of quirks you possessed.
Two.
Was it a quirk passed down by one of your parents? A combination of both?
The longer he observed you though, the more certain he became that you were one of the few anomalies within society, someone who'd mutated a quirk, rather than had one passed down.
If pressed for an answer, he, quite frankly, wouldn't be able to tell what your quirk was. Of course, he had his suspicions (many of which were proven wrong), just like the other teachers and students (also wrong), but no one ever really knew for sure. And they wouldn't know until you told them yourself.
That same uncertainty that surrounded your quirk was a large part of the reason why you were paired against him in the semester's final practical exam.
With such an unpredictable quirk, the only way to truly gauge your proficiency as a hero was to take that quirk away.
It was more than obvious to everyone, teachers, and students alike, that your quirk was always active. It seemed instinctual, active without so much as a thought from you.
This time, Aizawa would test you, find out just how reliant you were on this mysterious quirk of yours.
****
Aizawa didn't curse, especially not in front of his students or fellow faculty, but he felt that, in this particular situation, it was warranted.
He'd been wrong. So laughably, terribly wrong.
Your quirk wasn't a crutch. Far from it.
He'd caught up to you quickly, neutralising your quirk almost immediately, and had gone in for the kill, capture weapon slicing through the air with a swift swoosh, and-
You'd evaded it.
Fast.
Too fast.
As far as he was aware, your quirk didn't include speed enhancements. Even if it did, your quirk was neutralised, made useless.
So why then were you so fast? How did you manage to evade his capture weapon in an instant?
He didn't have time to linger on it at that moment.
You were fast, yes, but he was faster.
Talent would only get you so far. In life, experience tended to trump talent.
As much as he hated it, he'd have to get in close.
He jumped down to street level, intent on ending things quickly.
****
He'd underestimated you. They all had.
Honestly, it was foolish of him to believe you relied on your quirk that heavily. It was clear to him now that while your quirk, whatever it was, might have been strong, your endurance and physical capabilities far exceeded even your fellow classmates.
It made him wander why you held back so much. Because you did.
The entrance exam, the USJ incident, even the sports festival - you seemed to hold back during all of it.
Aizawa didn't understand.
If your goal was to be a hero, to do well, why would you hold back?
You'd defeated him with little to no effort, barely breaking a sweat the entire time. He'd managed to wrap you in his capture weapon, with a lot more of a struggle than he'd anticipated, and it'd be pointless. The moment he blinked, your quirk had reactivated, and he'd been back to square one.
It was embarrassing - the fact that it seemed so easy for you to beat him and complete the exam without a quirk. Even your classmates had been shocked.
The only person who hadn't broken out into a cold sweat was principal Nezu, the small animal-like mutant cackling like a maniac, as if he knew something they didn't. He probably did.
****
"What exactly is your quirk?"
He'd finally reached his limit. He had to know.
Not only to satiate his curiosity, but also to determine exactly how they'd test you during the training camp. He'd held off for as long as he could, but enough was enough.
"Sensei?"
"Your quirk. What is it? Tell me."
You tilt your head, looking an awful lot like a small cat, even with that ridiculous blindfold he was certain you couldn't see through. How could someone so formidable in combat look so innocent?
"You don't know?" you ask, mouth pulling upward into a small grin.
Irritation creeps into his expression, making his brow twitch. You seemed shocked, amused, as if you'd given him any sort of indication regarding your quirk. To be frank, certain aspects of your personality grated his nerves.
You were, to put it bluntly, annoying. Childish beyond words, playful, and you often tended to tease others to the point of furor.
"No. I don't."
"Oh. Well, I have two quirks."
You speak slowly, as if using big words would confuse him.
He feels his jaw tick.
ā€œYes, yes,ā€ he says impatiently. ā€œI know. But what are they?ā€
ā€œI canā€™t just tell you sensei. Thatā€™s no fun.ā€
Youā€™re still grinning, but your tone has taken on a whinier quality, one that makes him rethink his choice to become a teacher. He feels a headache developing in his temples, fingers uselessly massaging the throbbing area as he groans.
ā€œJust tell me.ā€
ā€œNope. Iā€™ll give you three hints, and you can guess!ā€
Aizawa grinds his teeth together.
Sheā€™s a child. You donā€™t hit children.
Patience. Have patience, he reminds himself, sighing heavily.
You were like a more annoying version of Mic, except Mic didnā€™t make everything a game. You were like a toddler stuck in a demons body.
ā€œFine,ā€ he sighs again, gesturing for you to continue.
You hold out your hand, holding up one finger.
ā€œHint number one!ā€ you say, in a tone similar to a game show host.
ā€œIā€™m like Buzz Lightyear!ā€
Thatā€™sā€¦ extremely unhelpful.
ā€œBuzzā€¦ Lightyear?ā€
You pout slightly, flopping down into a chair opposite his desk with a groan.
ā€œAw, maaaan, youā€™re no fun sensei. How old are you anyway?ā€
A noise of disbelief rumbles through his chest.
ā€œThatā€™s not- Obviously I know who Buzz Lightyear is! I just donā€™t see how thatā€™s relevant!ā€
That infuriating smirk finds itā€™s way back onto your face, and you kick your feet up on his desk while you lean back in your chair, the absolute picture of nonchalance. From somewhere inside your blazer pocket, you pull out a lollipop, mindlessly gnawing the red candy.
ā€œFine. Next hint then.ā€
You show him two fingers, head lolling back as you speak around the lollipop in your mouth.
ā€œIā€™m like a dragonfly.ā€
Aizawa closes his eyes, a disgruntled sigh of disbelief escaping him despite his best efforts.
ā€œWhat do dragonflies and Buzz Lightyear have to do with one another?ā€
You shrug, biting down on the hard candy, crushing it between your molars.
ā€œNothing.ā€
A toddler. An infuriating, know-it-all toddler. Thatā€™s what you are.
ā€œJustā€¦ give me the last hint.ā€
You hold out three fingers.
ā€œIā€™m like a combination of pi andā€¦ Hmā€¦ā€
You pause for a moment, sitting up straight.
ā€œAnd a sonar scan!ā€
ā€œI give up.ā€ Aizawa responds plainly.
ā€œWhat?! But you didnā€™t even try to guess!ā€
He shrugs, arms crossed over his chest. ā€œI give up.ā€
Your mouth pinches into a scowl, and he was sure that if you werenā€™t wearing that blindfold, youā€™d be frowning.
ā€œTell me, or donā€™t. I have no guesses.ā€
ā€œNot even one?ā€
ā€œNope.ā€
You groan and slump in your seat, grumbling about how boring he is, and he has to fight to hide a small smile.
Okay. Maybe you were endearing. Slightly.
ā€œFine! Youā€™re no fun.ā€
****
To say he was overwhelmed was a gross understatement.
Your quirks were terrifying. There was no other way to put it. They were powerful, and overwhelming, and just plain terrifying. You really had been holding back all semester.
When he asked why you hadnā€™t told anyone about your quirks, your response was simultaneously simple and off-putting.
ā€œNo one asked.ā€
As if youā€™d expected them to.
Butā€¦ you had a point. In the entire four months youā€™d been in class 1a, no one had openly approached you and asked what your quirk was.
Come to think of it, you werenā€™t exactly friends with any of your classmates either. Was it because they were thrown off by your mysterious quirks or your personality? Maybe.
Now that he knew though, he felt strangelyā€¦ protective of you.
It wasnā€™t as if you needed his protection or concern.
Regardless, he decided that during the summer training camp, heā€™d pay you some extra attention. Not to help you improve your already flawless quirk, rather, he wanted toā€¦ observe you. Youā€™d piqued his interest.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were a part of (G)I-dle but before that you had been in Produce 101 with Soyeon. You were the youngest in Produce 101, having been 14 when you went on Produce along with Soyeon and Eunbin. You were exceptional in both singing and dancing, even though you were so young you had managed to keep your position in a class (b at the lowest) throughout the entire show. Before Produce 101 you hadn't had many friends seeing as you spent all your time training. Sure you had Soyeon, but she was more of an older sister to you than a friend.
When you joined Produce 101 and met Somi you were overjoyed, you finally had someone your age that you could relate to and talk to. From the moment you joined Produce, Somi caught your eye, and after one conversation with her you knew you two would get along very well. She completely matched your personality. You and Somi had been very popular after the episodes were aired as both of you didn't lack in visuals or talent. Sadly you hadn't been popular enough and didn't make it to debut with Somi. Despite this, your determination to debut and become famous never faded, telling yourself it was better like this and that youā€™d debut with Soyeon instead.
Tumblr media
Ever since their debut you had been a huge fan of aespa, having listened to all their songs and bought all their albums. You had spoken out about it too, how much you loved aespa and their music. Most of all, you loved one japanese member in aespa. Ever since you heard their first song it was her voice that caught your attention, and when you saw her? You knew you had to have her, you wouldnt rest until you did.Ā 
Somi coincidentally had been good friends with Giselle too, and after a lot of begging she finally introduced you to her. You and Giselle completely hit it off, at the first meeting you two were already planning the second.Ā 
After having met, you two were inseparable, with her always being at your dorm and you at hers. With how close you became with Giselle in such a short time, it was no surprise to any of your friends when your friendship progressed to more.
When Soyeon was first told of your relationship with Aeri being more than friends, she became very wary of the girl. She considered you her younger sister and had heard a lot of rumors about Aeri and all her flings with girls. Aeri was known to be a rumored heartbreaker, having a new girl every week. The last thing Soyeon wanted was for you to end up with a broken heart. She also knew how easily manipulated you were and the thought that someone would use you made her sick.
Tumblr media
ā€œAeri where were you?! I've been waiting literal hours for you, you promised you wouldn't do this again!ā€ you yelled as soon as Aeri entered her room.Ā 
Today was one of the rare off days you both had and she planned a date. You were left waiting at the restaurant for 2 hours telling yourself she would come any minute, minutes turned to hours and you eventually realized she wasn't coming.Ā 
You felt humiliated, stood up at the reservation she made. After confirming with Karina that Giselle was indeed off today you went to the aespa dorms and just waited in Aeriā€™s room.Ā 
ā€œGet off my back holy shit, you're so dramatic. So what I had other things to do and I forgot we can reschedule.ā€ she responded starting to get mad, who were you to yell at her.Ā 
ā€œThis is literally the second time youā€™ve done this, why can't you consider my feelings and how i mustā€™ve felt getting stood up twice.ā€ you tried to reason, make her understand why you were upset.
ā€œLiterally shut up oh my god, if all youā€™re gonna do is complain get the fuck out of my room and leave. I'm tired. It's been a long day, either get in bed and sleep or go back to your dorm. I really don't care.ā€ Giselle said as she stripped from her current clothes and put on her pajamas.Ā 
ā€œI fucking hate you.ā€
ā€œGet in bedā€
And thatā€™s exactly what you did, you laid down and turned your face away from her, you laid at the very edge of the bed trying to get as far away from her as you could. You wanted her to know that you were upset and werent gonna cuddle. In response to this she simply put an arm around your waist and pulled you closer to her body, spooning you. This is what would always happen, and you would let it happen. this was her way of resolving fights because she knew you could never refuse her.Ā 
The next morning when you woke up Giselle wasn't there next to you, in place of her laid a small note declaring her love for you and how she would take you out again. But she didn't apologize, she never did.
Giselle was someone who simply couldn't accept their mistake, her pride never allowed her to. It was as if she was allergic to apologizing, even if she wanted to she couldn't ever bring herself to apologize. The thought of her having to bend down and admit she was at fault? Never in her wildest dreams would she do that, she had too much of an ego to ever admit that she was at fault.
That same day Giselle had gone to your dorm when the time was nearing midnight. Showing up with a bouquet of roses in one hand and a basket in the other.Ā 
Tumblr media
ā€œWait right here.ā€ she said as you two arrived at the park near your dorm.Ā 
You watched as she quickly ran over to a spot that was out of your sight, you assumed that there had been a blanket (maybe some snacks) in the basket. Either way you didnt move from the spot she had left you at. feeling excitement growing in your chest the longer she took.
You wished and hoped she had set up something big but you tried to stay realistic and not get your hopes up too high. you told yourself that she might be having troubles with setting up the blanket.
When it almost seemed like too long of a wait time (only a couple of minutes had felt like forever) she came back excitedly telling you to cover your eyes, to which you did as she led you towards where she had been. You couldn't help but feel excitement when she did all this, you had seen this scene multiple times in movies and you couldn't help but wish this would be like the movies
She tapped your shoulder and told you to open your eyes when you two arrived at where she had been. As your eyes opened you couldn't help but let out an automatic gasp at the sight of everything. It was exactly like the movies. She had led you into a small area completely surrounded by bushes and a couple of trees that she had covered in fairy lights. It was completely concealed from anyone else, being a small personal space for the two of you. On the grass she had laid a pastel blue fluffy blanket and on that she had a bunch of your favorite snacks, her laptop, and a bunch of pillows.Ā 
ā€œI found this place when i was still a trainee and i haven't told anyone about it so i guess it could just be our little spot from now on.ā€ she said as she waited for you to jump on her and shower her with compliments for being so sweet and planning all this.Ā 
ā€œI love you sosososo much this is actually so amazing and thank you so much for planning this!ā€ you said as you went to kiss her.Ā 
After breaking off the short lived kiss she sat down on the blanket and patted the spot next to her. You sat down wordlessly as she opened her laptop and put on mean girls, a movie that was favorited by you both. You both laid back and ate as you watched the movie happily. You felt like a character in a movie or book, you loved her so much and you couldn't believe she had been this thoughtful.Ā 
Tumblr media
Before you knew it the movie had already ended and as you checked the time on your phone your eyes widened. It was already 2am and you had a schedule tomorrow, you pondered on leaving right now and getting some sleep but ultimately decided against it. You'd rather stay with Aeri, sleep was overrated anyways.
You woke up the next morning to your phone ringing, lifting your head from Aeriā€™s chest and drowsily answered the call. You were immediately woken up by the shouting of your roommate Yuqi on the other end.
ā€œWhere the fuck are you?! I told Soyeon you were in the bathroom but youā€™ve now been in the bathroom for 10 minutes to her! Get the fuck back right now before she kills both me and you!ā€ Yuqi yelled at you through the phone
ā€œOkay, okay I'm sorry.ā€ you replied before hanging up at checking the time on your phone, whispering curses when you realized you had 20 minutes to get back to the dorms and get ready.
Hearing all the noise you were making, Aeri woke up and tiredly asked you what had happened and you quickly explained the situation to her. She immediately got up and grabbed her laptop and your hand to walk you back to your dorm. You both walked back in a comfortable silence as she was still half asleep and you were stressed out of your mind.Ā 
ā€œThank you for last night babe, i love you.ā€ you kissed her goodbye as you two arrived at your dorm.Ā 
And as if sensing you were there Soyeon opened the door of your dorm mid kiss and you immediately jumped away from Giselle. She just stared at you and told you to get in and ready seeing as you had close to 10 minutes left. You awkwardly waved to Giselle and Soyeon shut the door looking at you disappointedly she never approved of your relationship with Giselle.
You wanted to say something, but nothing was coming out of your mouth. You felt bad disobeying her but you loved Giselle. Why couldn't she understand that?
Tumblr media
ā€œwhy, why canā€™t i ever be prioritized? you always ditch me and it hurts. it fucking hurts to know youā€™re at a bar flirting with others and ditching me.ā€ you sobbed out, you had lost count at how many times she had done this
she always did this, she always ditched you. at this point you didnā€™t even know why she kept you around. you loved her so fucking much it hurt, it hurt to stay with her. you wondered what you had ever done to deserve this, you had never been this bad to anyone.Ā 
ā€œbabe no matter what i do i always come back to you no? youā€™ll always be my priority, i just like to talk to people. you know it doesnā€™t mean anything.ā€ she said in a calm voice, you knew it was all an act, she was pretending to be sober.Ā 
but you could taste it on her tongue when you kissed, you could smell the perfume of the girl she had just fucked on her dress when you took it off. you didn't know what to do.
you didnā€™t want to believe it. so you didn't, when you were left standing outside of her room hearing the moans of a girl that wasnā€™t you.
you just stood in front of the door, you didnā€™t make an attempt to stop what you knew was happening. none of the girls were home, if they were they never wouldā€™ve let you enter. they probably wouldā€™ve said some bullshit like Giselle was out. whenever they told you things like this you just left, you knew they were lies. you werenā€™t stupid.Ā 
you knew any sane person would leave, but you werenā€™t sane, she made you insane. you loved her like crazy, you werenā€™t like this before, she changed you. made you the perfect girlfriend for her who never said anything.Ā 
you sometimes wondered if you ever even had any self respect, it was humiliating, to know what she was doing yet actively doing nothing about it.Ā 
when you first caught her with another girl you just stood there in shock, you didnā€™t know how to react. as if she could feel your presence, Giselle turned to face you, her fingers still deep inside the other girl. she didnā€™t stop though, she just stared at you while fucking the girl. and you just stood there crying, you were heartbroken. weā€™re you not enough? did you not do enough? did she not like you anymore?Ā 
eventually when the girl noticed you standing there crying she pushed Giselle off of her apologizing to you saying she didnā€™t know Aeri had a girlfriend. apparently Aeri didnā€™t remember she had one, judging by her actions.Ā 
ā€œbabe you know itā€™s only you that i love, sometimes i just need someone else to satisfy my needs when youā€™re away but theyā€™re nothing. theyā€™re nothing to me, you should be glad that i always end up back with you. youā€™re the one for me, theyā€™re all just side hoes that donā€™t mean anything other than a quick fuck.ā€ Giselle said as she approached you, her fingers still wet from the other girl.Ā 
you didnā€™t know what to say or do so you just nodded and let her comfort you.Ā 
You couldn't fathom ever losing Giselle, that was probably your worst nightmare, to have Giselle tell you she no longer loved you. You knew staying was terrible, maybe even worse than losing her. You were stuck in a never ending loop with her breaking your heart and you acting upset but ultimately letting it go. after a while you stopped getting upset, there was no point. talking to her was talking to a wall.Ā 
You felt like you were suffocating keeping all your emotions to yourself, Soyeon already hated giselle, why would you want to add to the fire? Somi? Somi was Giselle's best friend, she probably only fell second to you. Your members? They would probably stop supporting your relationship with Giselle and be like Soyeon.Ā 
Whenever you told yourself itā€™d be the last time for you to let what she was doing slide she would make it up to you extravagantly. How could you stay mad when she was trying so hard and doing so much for you. She could really fuck you up sometimes but she always knew how to make it okay afterwards.Ā 
This wouldn't go anywhere, you knew that full well. She would never change and neither would you. in the end all you could do was take it.

It had been a long time since Jeremy had reason to comfort anyone. When his younger sister had gone missing in 1985, Jeremy was too steeped in his own grief and frustration to be of any help to his family. His step-father thought so too and had kicked him out of the house for his negligence.
Jeremy had been too preoccupied in 1987 to comfort the parents of the children going missing. He'd been terrified of the animatronics, and it turned out his fears were warranted when they'd attacked him. During his day shift.
Now it was 1993, and Jeremy was once again working behind a desk, clicking through cameras and watching for danger. It was nice to have a day shift, he supposed. And these animatronics did not leave the stage at all. But Jeremy could still feel the itchiness of his face from the pain they'd caused six years ago. The animatronics may have been long gone, but the scars remained.
The shift was easy enough. Arrive at 6 a.m., relieve the night shift, and unlock the doors for the kitchen crew when they arrived at 10 a.m. No need to worry about animatronics in the morning since their free-roam turned off like clockwork. Jeremy could understand why the room had a certain odor in the mornings sometimes. He had worked a nightshift before, after all.
The thing he hadn't anticipated was a near-hysterical high school student curled up in a ball under the security desk. Jeremy peered at the boy, fiddling with the hat on his head. "Kid?"
The boy shuddered as he gasped air into his lungs. "Is it 6 a.m.? Is it morning?"
"Yeah, I'm here to take over. Do you need a minute?"
The night guard crawled out from underneath the desk, nodding weakly. Jeremy grabbed one arm and helped him up. He reflected that this was exactly how he'd reacted after his first night.
Jeremy wrapped his jacket around the kid as he sat down in the chair. "First night on the job?"
The kid nodded. Jeremy flipped through the cameras quickly, ensuring all the animatronics had returned to their places. Everything was fine, but there were clear tears in Foxy's curtain. That wasn't Jeremy's problem, thankfully. Parts and Services would handle that, just like they'd handle the seemingly broken camera.
"I... I don't think..."
"You going to quit?" Jeremy replied, absently pulling his keys from his pocket. He figured there was no way this kid was sticking around for much longer. Jeremy gave him a week at best.
"I don't want to have to do this," the kid said quietly.
A sharp searing pain shot through Jeremy's entire body. He identified it quickly, realizing it came from behind him. From where the kid was sitting. He stabbed me? Jeremy thought to himself as the keys fell from his hands.
"Nothing personal," the kid said, but the terrified undertone was long gone. "I just needed a way to get your keys."
Jeremy leaned heavily on the security desk, reaching one hand toward the phone.
"I cut the line. Maybe you'll survive. Or maybe not." The kid hesitated for a moment. "My boss might decide you don't deserve to live."
When Jeremy stumbled to the floor, he cursed his luck. Of course the killer was back. Of course he had help this time. And of course they'd choose today to steal his keys and prepare their break-in patterns. No one came in on Sundays. The place was completely closed, save for the security guard. That meant this kid and his child-killing boss had plenty of time before the next guard arrived in six hours.
Jeremy wasn't even originally supposed to work today. Fritz had been fired a few days prior, and Jeremy's boss practically had to beg him to cover. Maybe Jeremy could last until the next guard arrived, but he didn't think it was likely.
The tell-tale sound of the power plummeting seemed to echo in Jeremy's ears. Lights out, he thought to himself as the music box started up in his ears. He couldn't see Freddy, but he'd worked here long enough to hear the rumors. Freddy always got up and moved when the lights went out. He always came straight for the security office unless it was after 6 a.m. Jeremy assumed that whatever was going on had broken Freddy's normal routine.
The bear wasn't coming for him though, much to his surprise. He could hear the terrified scream of the other security guard as Freddy sought him out. Always after the night guard, Jeremy thought to himself, feeling his blood soaking through his shirt and pooling around him.
When he opened his eyes again, he didn't expect to be staring a golden bear in the face. He laughed, a gurgling sound as blood filled his throat. "You're not real," he told the animatronic.
One eye gleamed white, studying him. The animatronic didn't move, didn't speak, but it continued to occupy the space in front of the desk. And suddenly the animatronic did move, reaching out to brush the hair from Jeremy's face.
"You were a victim?" the animatronic said in a voice rusty from disuse. It sounded too small, too frightened, to be coming from such a large animatronic.
"We were all victims," Jeremy spat blood, rolling away from the animatronic. "Just let me die in peace."
"You don't deserve to die." There was an underlying fury as the animatronic rose to its feet, scooping Jeremy up in its arms. "We will fix you."
"I don't need fixing," Jeremy whispered, but he had no strength to resist the giant bear.
The carry reminded him of the last time he'd been near an animatronic. All the animatronics at the last restaurant had tried to kill him. But the Bonnie model from the back room hadn't. The old, worn, faceless Bonnie model. Jeremy didn't recall the other models appearing at all though. Just Bonnie.
Maybe it had been sympathy, or maybe it had been something else, but the animatronic rabbit had fought off two of the toys by himself, giving the rest of the staff an opportunity to drag him out of the mess.
The bear carried him gently, like he was something precious. The same delicate way Jeremy had wished to be held as a child in the thralls of nightmares.
"I must be imagining things," Jeremy mused to the yellow fabric of the bear's suit.
"This is real, I swear," the bear replied.
"Who are you?" Jeremy asked, swallowing back another mouthful of blood. "I've never seen you before."
"They buried me. They wanted to forget. They wanted to keep the children from getting nightmares," the bear muttered. "My name has been mostly forgotten. But I remember well enough. You weren't the first bite."
"I'd love to meet the other guy. Compare notes," Jeremy replied, eyes fluttering shut again.
"You already have," the bear whispered, but Jeremy was no longer conscious enough to hear him.

demon whumpee begging, with either angel whumper or angel caretaker
tw dubious angel caretaker, demon whumpee, religious whump, lethal injury, non-descriptive gore
"Please," the demon tried again, weaker, more earnest this time. "Please. I used to be one of you. I, I just made a mistake, please. Please have some compassion. Please help."
"I can help." The angel's many eyes surveyed the demon's broken body constantly, over and over again from top to bottom, assessing their injuries. "But I can only help those who are willing to devote their lives in exchange."
Deep in the valley of the shadow of death, that didn't seem to faze the demon much. "I understand. I do. Please. I'm ready to correct my mistakes, I'm ready to do whatever it takes."
The angel didn't respond right away, finding themself looking for a different way to explain the situation, as if continued pleading and a will to repent hadn't been the correct reaction. As if despite all the blood and gore peeking out from under their tattered clothing, the demon's request and behaviour had been unreasonable. As if it had shown a lack of comprehension rather than acute awareness of the danger they were in.
"I suppose the question is... would you rather die as your own person, or live serving a god who had banished you to Hell once before?"
Maybe some of their own bitterness had gotten out through the cracks in their mask. They didn't mean to sound like that, really. Like they were jealous. Envious of the courage it must've taken to survive in the face of continuous injustice and curses after falling. They doubted they could've done it, had they ever been caught making a mistake.
But was that twisted admiration really some sort of justification for phrasing their question that way? Making this pitiful creature feel like choosing life over death was some sort of failure, just because they wished their own life looked a little different?
"No, that's not the right way for me to ask," they muttered. "There are so many things to ask. So many things you might have forgotten already." So many things I wish to warn you about right now, but if I do, it might be taken as being disloyal to Heaven and God.
"I don't have time to answer them all," the demon rasped, getting that hint of a gurgle in the back of their throat that let the angel know everything about their condition that they needed to. From where they stood, protected and safe in their gilded cage, dying as a free being seemed honourable. Desirable, even. Yet, if they had no courage to throw themself into a situation like that by choice, what right did they have to force someone else to stay in it? What right did they have even attempting to live and die vicariously through them?
They knelt next to the demon, putting both of their pristine hands over their wounds and trying not to let the wet feeling of blood underneath them bother them too much. The sleeve of their robe started soaking up the viscous liquid immediately, but they resisted the urge to lift their arms any higher to avoid it.
"Do you believe I can heal you?" they asked finally, their heart shattering when they saw the desperate demon nod frantically. "Very well. According to your faith let it be done to you."

Do you have any clean timkon fic recs?
i went in search of some just for you anon
See What You Wanna See
As horrible as it sounded, the young clone of Superman had spent half his life not getting along with the world and as such, had learned to get along without it. But Tim wasn't like that. Tim needed people to function. It was the one trait Bruce wished his son hadn't inherited from him. Conner Kent could survive getting his heart broken. Tim Drake could not. And Bruce Wayne was not going to lose another son. Or, Bruce doesn't understand what Tim could possibly see in Kon. Until, of course, he does.
~~~
What's Real and What Isn't
Konā€™s eyes almost glow in the dark, a luminescent blue so vivid Tim almost canā€™t stand looking at them, though he has a harder time trying to look away from them. ā€œI thought you were having a nightmare or something. Your heart was beating so hard it woke me up.ā€ Tim feels himself a flush. He canā€™t even sleep without bothering someone else. ā€œOh,ā€ He replies, voice small. ā€œSorry. Iā€™m fine, you can go back to sleep.ā€ ā€œYouā€™re shaking,ā€ Kon points out and Tim curses internally.
~~~
Think Cupid, But Aim Lower
"Well", Bruce ignored his question, "I don't exactly have a rule against dating metas" "Ok?" Tim had no idea what his dad was trying to lead up to, but he put on his best listening face. "And I mean any meta", Bruce emphasized, searching his son's face for comprehension in vain, "any meta, at all. Regardless of gender" Or, the Batfamily will make sure Tim gets his guy, even if it entails a lot of beating around the bush, dropping hints so veiled that they can be misconstrued surprisingly easily, and basically giving the bird and his clone boy a headache in the process
~~~
Hey, Sunshine
"Kiss me, Kon", he demanded. He could already hear the smile in Kon's voice when he spoke. "Whatever you want, Sunshine" Or, Kon loves giving his boyfriend nicknames and Tim wants to know the reason behind this particular term of endearment.
~~~
I'll get back to you as soon as possible
Hey, this is Superboy. Iā€™m probably busy kicking ass and saving babes but if itā€™s urgent just give me a shout and Iā€™llā€¦ Rox, can you shut your big mouth for one second or. The effect Connerā€™s voice has on Tim is instant. His gasping breaths become slower and easier to control. His whole body relaxes. Or: Tim calls Conner a lot while heā€™s dead. He calls a few times after he comes back too.
~~~
Dinner Rush
Tim decides it's finally time to tell his family that he and Conner are dating. Madness ensues.
~~~
Blind
As much as Kon had begged Clark not to send him to school, to while about his day doing equations and learning about dead people, when he could be doing something useful (like punching bad guys), Kon had actually come to like school. Well, he didn't so much care for the classes, but it was nice to make friends who were just normal people. It was interesting to hang around people who had no idea that the unassuming Conner Kent was actually the famed hero Superboy. Kon got to take a bit of a break from being a hero and pretend to be normal for a while, which could be fun under the right circumstances.
His friends were pretty neat, as well.
~~~
Just My Luck It's You
One night as Kon was dosing off to sleep it suddenly feels like he's been suckered punch and left breathless. As he gasps for air he knows something big has just happened to Tim, his very human soulmate, and knows he needs to go and find him no matter what.
~~~
Friends Are The Family We Choose
Itā€™s really nice to know that both of their families watch out for one another no matter who it is. Clark would do anything for any member of Bruceā€™s family and even know he wonā€™t admit it, Bruce would do the exact same for his.
Or, Kon nearly runs himself down to the ground with worry after Tim gets hospitalised and the Batfam are there to make sure he actually takes care of himself.
~~~
fill in the blanks
ā€œYou?ā€ Tim blurts.Ā Holy shit.Ā ā€œYouā€™re Kon?ā€
A nod. ā€œAre you in any pain?ā€ he asks again.
Konā€™s skin is sun-kissed, cheekbones dusted with a fine smattering of freckles; he is, without exaggeration, the prettiest person Tim has ever seen. ā€œNo, Iā€™mā€”great,ā€ he says, fidgeting. ā€œDo you, uh, come here often?ā€
Kon raises a brow. ā€œTo the medbay?ā€ he intones. ā€œDefinitely more often than Iā€™d prefer.ā€
~~~
Say Amen, there he goes again
Tim and Kon get together. That prompts their respective families to tell them how much they love and support them.
Which is quite frankly a terrible development, if you ask Tim.

Hey, i saw your wifeā€™s TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRb9wduc/ and was wondering if you could do a one shot based on it?
Haha, I'll do one, sure!
--
Ghost had never seen Rodolfo so frazzled. It was Christmas Eve and he was already awake (it was 7 A.M) and rushing around trying to get tamales made. Several people had already been cursed at in Spanish.
Ghost could definitely understand the rush. With the 141 there, and the Vaqueros, and Valeria was bringing over several cartel members... Rodolfo had to cook a lot of fucking tamales.
Rodolfo had decided to let Alejandro sleep in that morning and when Ghost tried to ask about it, Rodolfo had just said he'd had a rough night. Ah, makes sense. Everyone was still on edge... Oh yeah, Graves and several of his shadows would be there, too.
Ghost had kind of just tried to stay out of the way. Alex, Soap, Laswell, and Farah had all volunteered help, so thankfully Rodolfo was not doing this alone.
Gaz and Price were trying to fix something that was broken and apparently essential to the process. Rodolfo had almost had a break down over it and so they'd stepped up.
Ghost? Ghost was awkwardly standing in the corner and trying not to think about how much this reminded him of his own mother on Christmas. Soap kept occasionally smiling at him.
Roach suddenly popped up beside Rodolfo, and Rodolfo didn't even flinch. "Hey, buddy." He was mixing something in a bowl. "Laswell and Price brought over cookie mixes, please get started on that." Rodolfo handed him a box of stuff.
Roach had seemed disappointed Rodolfo hadn't even noticed but then he just shrugged and went on his merry little way to a small table that was free of debris. Ghost shook his head, amused.
Rodolfo tensed as the front door swung open and Ghost chuckled as he watched him sigh.
"I have arrived!" Valeria called, entering.
"Ā”MantĆ©n tu PUTA VOZ BAJA!" Rodolfo half screamed. Ghost found even himself flinching and everyone covered their ears. Then, Rodolfo turned back to mixing everything.
Valeria, however, came in laughing. "My bad, Rudy. Is Alejandro still asleep?"
"Yes." Rodolfo nodded. "Though he needs to be woken, soon, for Asada."
That's right, Valeria and Ghost were supposed to help him with that. "Why is he still asleep?" Valeria huffed, unfazed by Rodolfo's glaring.
"Because, he had a rough night and he'd not needed as early as I am." Rodolfo huffed, wiping his hands on his apron. "Valeria, can you please go get the meat from the freezer."
Valeria made a face, setting several alcohol bottles and boxed on the counter. "Yeah, sure, whatever." She left and Rodolfo shook his head.
"Ghost, go wake up Alejandro." Rodolfo ordered.
Soap and Price's head whipped to look at Rudy. Ghost, however, grinned under his mask. "Okay-"
"Rudy, are you sure you don't want someone else to? I can do it." Soap started to get up.
"Ah! Ā”SiĆ©ntate!" Rodolfo immediately pointed at Soap's seat and Soap sat down. "No! I need you to continue to spread the masa on the ojas."
"I can go, then." Price nodded, chuckling. But Rodolfo glared at him.
"Ghost is the only one not doing anything, which is completely fine and I'm not upset at you," Rodolfo smiled at Ghost, who relaxed because he had genuinely worried he was doing something wrong, "and he's Ale's friend. He can go and wake Alejandro up."
Soap sighed. "Be nice to him, Ghost."
"Yeah, yeah." Ghost chuckled. "I will be." He absolutely would not be. He headed down the hallway, considering all of the ways he could wake Alejandro up.
Alejandro was curled up with a pillow, actually almost looking... peaceful. Ghost could not wait to destroy that. He pulled his mask off and laid on the bed beside Alejandro. He was a lot more comfortable around Alejandro and Soap with his mask off than anyone else, since he was closest to the two of them.
He reached forward and nudged him, gently. Alejandro groaned and buried his face in the pillow. Ghost rolled his eyes and nudged him harder.
Alejandro caught his arm, half smiling, though it was clear he wasn't fully awake. Ghost's eyes widened when he saw Alejandro move his hand to his mouth and then he was kissing up Ghost's arm.
Alejandro was murmuring something that Ghost assumed had to be romantic as he did so. Ghost had to stifle his laughter and went dead silent, just letting Alejandro do so. Man, and poor Rodolfo had to wake up to this every morning.
Okay, maybe it was kind of cute but it would drive Ghost insane. He'd tried to very gently kiss Soap's cheek one morning, while he slept, and had gotten punched in the nose so... Soap would not be able to handle that, either.
Alejandro stopped once his face was close to Ghost's, his eyes still shut. "Good morning, hermoso."
Ghost chuckled. "What up, baby." He made his voice as deep as possible, letting it rumble.
Alejandro's eyes flashed open.
-
Rodolfo's eyes closed and he let out a deep, exhausted sigh, as he heard Alejandro scream from the bedroom. Soap and Price were on the floor, practically crying from laughter.
Rodolfo turned around, pinching the bridge of his nose. Poor Gaz looked alarmed and Alex and Farah were stifling their own laughter.
Laswell shook her head, though even she was clearly amused. Graves, who had stepped in the door, just looked confused. He came over, propping a giant pot on a part of the empty table. "Hey, I know it's early but I brought Jambalaya."
Alex's head turned, immediately. "Jambalaya?? Is it good jambalaya?"
"Of course." Graves grinned. "Anyway, where can I put it?"
"The fridge until we get set up to eat." Rodolfo gestured and Graves nodded.
Alejandro was suddenly rushing out of the bedroom, fully dressed. Funny, he usually took longer. He hadn't even bothered to take care of his curls. However, even they could not soothe the irritation in Rodolfo's heart. "Ghost! I told you to wake him up!"
"He is awake!" Ghost casually followed Alejandro out, his hands in his pocket. "Your husband is quite the romantic."
Alejandro glared deep into Ghost's soul and Ghost only laughed.
Rodolfo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Patience, Rudy. If you kill them all, they cannot help you finish the tamales. "Cook." He pointed at Alejandro.
Alejandro pouted but went outside, nodding. Ghost grinned. "I'm sorry, Rudy. I'll never do it again."
"Liar." Rodolfo huffed but accepted the pat on his arm. It was going to be a long Christmas Eve.

okay iā€™ve figured out how i can make it work as a prompt, so angelus is the big bad of the moment and the scoobies are after him however he gets a spell or something put on him from some other baddie and he gets amnesia and he doesnā€™t remember heā€™s a vampire or the angel side of his memory just completely lost/afraid/almost human like and while running from the scoobies somehow gets into readers place of living cause in the depth of his mind he remembered it and reader obviously scared doesnā€™t know what to do
A/N: Warning for violence against reader, typical Angelus stuff and swearing but a bit of maybe fluff/angst too. Popped it under the cut cos it felt a little long. Hope this is okay love !! šŸ’–
Love Bites:
Another night alone. Ever since your fiancƩ had succumbed to the curse and become the big bad, formerly known as Angel, you had been inconsolable. You hadn't felt up to patrolling with the others, in fact you had barely seen them all week. You were older than them and insisted you had some really urgent work deadline that was too important for them to understand.
You had dimmed the lights, watching some rerun on the tv and settled in to cuddle up with your broken heart. You heard a noise. The lights flickered.
Okay, you were officially spooked.
You got up to look out of the window, but there was nothing there. When you turned, though, a presence had appeared from the shadows.
Him.
"Y/n?" he asked. Angelus. You jerked in horror, frantically looking around for a stake.
The only thing he could remember was you. Your face, your name, the love you had given so freely. Memories fractured in his head but one thing remained. You. Your name.
"Shit! How did you-?!"
"I don't know who I am I just know that, uh, I'm safe here" he admitted, looking at the ground.
"Yeah, well, funny, 'cause I'm not safe here. Fucking Willow and her no good spells" you cursed loudly. She was meant to have uninvited him from your house but she had barely mastered levitating pencils yet.
He rushed over to you and you braced yourself, waiting for the inevitable pain. And it, of course came, just not in the form you expected. It was purely emotional. He had pulled you into an all encompassing hug.
He needed it. Needed you. You're the only thing he knew was right. The only good thing in his world right now.
Tears welled in your eyes as you breathed in his familiar scent. What had once meant safety had then been fear when he had turned into Angelus after the night he had asked you to be his. You had blamed yourself. But this, his embrace, his love, it brought back all the good memories. It reminded you that it had all meant something once. You knew it.
What you didn't know yet was that Angelus had been cursed. On top of his other curse. The creature that had been trying to kill the slayer that week had become a bit jealous that Buffy's mind wasn't solely on him and so had removed Angelus from the game.
It left you vulnerable, your friends knew this. They were fighting hard to try and get to you, try to warn you about what had happened to Angelus. To try and get to you before anything bad happened.
When you broke from the hug, you stared at him, frown lining your face. You were on edge but hope had taken over. What a dangerous thing hope was. He didn't like the way you were looking at him with such suspicion.
Had he hurt you? Was he a bad person? Is that why he couldn't remember anything, was he blocking out what he had done to you?
"You... you really don't remember do you?" You asked softly, tracing his cheekbone with your thumb.
"Remember what?" he snapped slightly, confusion looking like it pained him.
"Your name is... Angel, uh, Angelus and you're a..."
"A what? Say it." he moved from your embrace, turning away from you knowing that he probably didn't want to hear what you were about to tell him.
"Vampire"
At the same moment, Buffy killed the demon blocking their way to you. As the demon died, the spell broke. And they could only hope they would make it across Sunnydale in time.
He turned back slowly to face you, the confused look that had knitted his brows had darkened. His eyes black with violent desire.
"Oh yeah. Thanks, now I remember. I'm a vampire. And you're mine"
He launched at you, slamming you against the wall and roughly his possessive streak that he had felt ever since he had been cursed coming to the fore. He had loved you as Angel, but as Angelus he was obsessed. Possessed with this feeling that he had to have you.
He slammed you against the wall again, boxing you in. There was no escape. You were his. He wrenched your neck to the side, danger glinting in his eye and a satisfied smirk on his changed face.
You only had one hope left. Buffy. But you weren't sure that she would make it in time before he-

What He Deserves
Geraskier, rated T, cw: angst
Geralt stared at the Dandelion poking out through the slowly melting ice, and his heart sank.
Yet another reminder, a message from destiny herself.
Clenching his hands around Roach's reins, Geralt pulled his horse forward and away from the obnoxiously bright flower that reminded him of Jaskier.
You sent him away. Told him you didn't want him, that he was at fault for every wrong in your life.
He wasn't, though, and Geralt knew that. The only person at fault that day was him. Not Yen and certainly not Jaskier.
Melitele, Geralt missed him. Just like that sunshine personified flower, Jaskier could light up a room, fill any moment with so much chatter and laughter that Geralt couldn't help the small upturn in his lips.
You sent him away. You deserve to feel this pain and more.
Geralt swallowed hard and closed his eyes. He deserved this hurt. Gods, Jaskier should scream at him, tell him how shit of a friend he'd been.
He'd take anything if it meant Jaskier would be back in his life, but Geralt couldn't gather enough courage to face him.
Coward.
He was. He knew that inner voice was right. Maybe that's why he fought with destiny.
Roach huffed and Geralt's eyes snapped open. A cart laden with goods was up ahead, one of its wheels bent and twisted.
It couldn't be fixed, Geralt knew that without getting any closer, and he doubted the person would want a witcher's help, even if they are in the middle of nowhere.
Ask, you cretin.
Geralt sighed. Squaring his shoulders, he walked towards the cart with intentions of helping if asked.
The man had a mop of brown hair and a blue shirt. He cursed and kicked the dirt beside the cart. For a second, Geralt thought it was going to him, Jaskier, but why would the bard be a cart driver?
If it was him, would you just walk away like the monster you are?
That made Geralt stop still. Would he? If Jaskier was in danger, would he just walk away because it was too much for his heart to bear if he was rejected?
Always running away from your problems.
No. He wouldn't do that. He didn't want Jaskier to be hurt.
You did it anyway.
Yes, he did it anyway. Fuck.
Walking forward again, he watched the irate man kicking the cart.
Roach snorted, and Geralt had to agree. Kicking the thing wouldn't help. Not at all.
"Fucking piece of shit," the man grumbled under his breath. He leaned over the cart, head bowed and not paying any attention to the world around him.
When he finally notices that Geralt is right there beside him, he jumps, squeaking loudly.
"Holy- balls," the man swears. One of his hands rests above his heart as it thuds fast in his chest.
"Your wheel is broken," Geralt says, pointing at said thing like the man hadn't noticed.
"Bleeding tits, I know that," the man growls, kicking the wheel once more. "How on earth can I get everything to town before nightfall?"
Geralt frowned.
Sunset was in two hours.
The wheel was broken, it wasn't going anywhere. Not in its current state.
It needed something to keep the broken part from bending.
Geralt scratched his head, staring at the wood, while the man ranted in the background. Words bled into one another, with little room for breathing. It was impressive, even if Geralt couldnā€™t admit it.
It must've made something ping in his head, because suddenly he stood up, knowing exactly what to do.
He could use willow to twist in between the spokes. It wouldn't last long, and the cart would still lurch. He would have to walk beside the cart and adjust it as they went, but maybe it would keep it steady enough for the journey.
"I have an idea. I won't be long," Geralt said. It shut the man up, who looked at him like he was mad, but he nodded his understanding.
It was only when Geralt wandered over to the river, knife out to cut some willow branches, that he realised.
See how much you miss him. It would be him filling your life with endless chatter, and see how it helped today. You never should have sent him away.
Geralt dropped his head, staring at the muddy riverbank. He was a fool and a coward and he deserved every harsh word.
It was only the truth.
Stripping the willow branches was easy. Threading them through the wheel spokes wasn't hard either.
Persuading the man to move the cart and try it was, though. He folded his arms across his chest and outright refused.
"What if Maise here gets hurt?" the man pointed to his horse.
Geralt's eyebrows rose, but he accepted the man had a point.
"Roach will do it. Means I can walk beside her and make sure the wheel is okay."
He half assumed there would be more complaining, but now that Geralt was fully in charge of this expedition, and the manā€™s horse wasn't involved, he seemed content to walk ahead and lead them to town.
It was a long trip. Sunset had gone down ages ago, and they'd had to stop three times so far.
He could see the town ahead. Probably half an hour more to walk.
Roach was tired, and bored. Geralt couldn't blame his girl. Petting her mane, he urged her forward once more.
She grumbled, but Geralt slipped her a sugar lump and she went happily, smelling more in his pocket.
"That's it, girl. We are almost there," he said encouragingly.
It had been tough on her. He might have to stay in the town two nights to make sure Roach got enough of a rest.
The town gates came into view. The man dutifully ran forward, calling on the guards and explaining why they were late, and please open the gates, thank you.
Geralt was impressed. He was charming, like Jaskier.
Jaskier can do better than you.
Yes, he definitely could. It didn't stop Geralt's heart from hurting.
When the gates opened, Geralt was relieved. It would mean Roach could stay at a proper stable. She deserved it, even if he didn't deserve any comforts.
Once inside, the man directed them to his house. Geralt could have stood back and let the man empty his wares himself, but he just couldn't. He helped.
After that, the man led them to the centre of town, over to the woodworker. The shop wouldn't open till the morning, but the man pulled out the willow branches and the cart slumped once more.
"Can't be too careful," he explained.
It wasn't going anywhere. Anyone who tried would be heard a mile off in this quiet town.
"Is there a tavern? Stables?" Geralt asked.
"Yeah, up ahead," the man pointed northwards. "The Ice Maiden, a great tavern."
Geralt huffed a laugh, and the man patted him on his shoulder.
"Don't let the name fool ya, it's a great place. Very friendly. Come on, I'll show ya."
Nodding, Geralt walked behind the man, Roach in tow. It didn't take long to get there, lively music playing inside.
"Stables are round to the right. I'll let the innkeeper know you'll be needing a bed for the night."
"Thanks," Geralt said, nodding his head in agreement.
He found the stables easily. There was one stall left, so the place must be busy. A mark of a good tavern, but not one that would be quiet.
You liked the noise earlier.
He did. The noise had helped him think, and he had a lot of thinking to do.
Like, how could he apologise to Jaskier, let the bard rant and then allow him to walk away.
It was the only way Geralt could see it working. Any other ideas about the bard staying, or accepting his apology, seemed like fantasy.
You're a fool.
Swallowing hard, Geralt focused on getting Roach sorted. He gave her a few more sugar lumps and she settled, calmly grazing on the feed Geralt laid out.
He took his time, though he knew he shouldn't. The man might have persuaded the innkeeper, but when they saw he was a witcher, they might not feel as happy about letting him stay.
He couldn't put it off forever.
It was definitely times like this that Geralt missed Jaskier the most.
Walking round to the front door, Geralt almost wanted to be denied the luxury of a soft bed and be forced to sleep out in the stables near Roach.
Just at the door, Geralt stopped, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He could do this. Heā€™d faced hate before. The worst that would happen wasnā€™t that bad, after all.
The music was muffled, a lulling sound that reminded him so much of Jaskier.
Of the sing-songy twit, as Yennefer had said one time.
The voice sounded so familiar. Geralt could almost let himself believe that it was his bard.
Heā€™s not your bard.
Heā€™s not. If he was at any point, he never would be again.
Heā€™d fucked up. He deserved this pain. It was his to bear.
Sighing to himself, Geralt pushed open the door. The music hit him in the face like a ton of bricks.
There on the stage was Jaskier. His hair was longer. He was wearing a hat. Gone was his usual attire of bright colours, and instead he wore a burgundy coat and a gold waistcoat.
The bard danced around the tables, singing into peopleā€™s faces. The audience cheered, singing along with him, and Geralt could almost smile at seeing Jaskier in his element.
That was until he heard it.
ā€œAt the end of my days when Iā€™m through
ā€œNo word that Iā€™ve written will ring quite as true as ā€˜burnā€™
ā€œā€˜Burn, butcher, burnā€™.ā€
No. Fuck. Jaskier couldn't be singing those words. He couldn't mean them.
He does. He means every single one of them because itā€™s what you are.
Geralt crumbled, his armour clanging against the stone and sawdust floor. The noise was deafening in his ears.
The singing stopped abruptly, but the music carried on for a few more beats. Then silence filled the space.
Someone was walking towards him. Someone was standing in front of him.
Geralt risked looking up into the blue eyes he knew he would meet.
Fuck, there was Jaskier, and there were tears in his eyes.
How could he have caused this? Why had he said those things to his bard?
You're pathetic. Snivelling on the ground when you should be kneeling, begging for forgiveness. Forgiveness you won't get, but have to ask for anyway.
Right. Geralt closed his eyes for a second, then got up onto his knees.
"Jaskier," he began, but he didn't get to say anything else.
"I'm not doing this here," Jaskier whispered loudly. "Get up."
Shaking his head, Geralt remained where he was, hand reaching up in pleading.
ā€œTell me to go, and I will.ā€
ā€œGet up,ā€ Jaskier hissed, leaning over and talking in a low voice directly into his ear. ā€œIā€™ll tell you to go when Iā€™m ready. Follow me.ā€
The bard didnā€™t wait for him to say anything. Jaskier just walked past him, like he meant nothing, and truly that is what he was worth.
Butcher. Killer. Monster.
He was all of them. Helping one man with his cart didnā€™t change what heā€™d done. It never would.
A public flogging is what he deserved. It wouldnā€™t hurt, not really, his healing wouldnā€™t allow for it to hurt much, but it would bring him low, where he belonged.
Everyoneā€™s eyes were on him. He didnā€™t dare look up, but he could feel them on him. He stood up, eyes trained on the ground, and turned around.
Thatā€™s when the whispers started.
ā€œItā€™s him. The one the bard sings about. Jaskier should throw him out on his ear.ā€
ā€œIā€™d have kicked him out the second he stepped in, if Iā€™d known. How can he hurt Jaskier that way?ā€
How, wasnā€™t the best question. Heā€™d hurt Jaskier because nothing good or nice should ever be within his grasp. It all just turns to dust.
Why heā€™d hurt Jaskier, well, he knew the answer to that, too.
Geralt kept on walking, letting the whispers fill his mind. When he got to the stairs, he looked up and there was Jaskier.
His sad eyes. A distressed look on his face.
Jaskier turned, walking up the stairs. Geralt followed him, every step creaking unbearably as they made their ascent. It felt like it took forever, like the whole world had ended and it was just Jaskier, unbelievably, and him at the end of time.
Fanciful nonsense.
ā€œGet in and shut the door,ā€ Jaskier ordered when they reached the door of his room.
Geralt obeyed, quicker than he expected. This was it. This was the moment Geralt would get everything he deserved and more.
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ he started apologising, but when he looked up, Jaskierā€™s angry expression made him stop talking.
ā€œYou hurt me, Geralt. I spent all my life trying to help you, make people see the good in you, and you hurt me.ā€
Jaskier stepped back, his legs hitting against the bed and forcing him to stop.
ā€œI just wanted you to like me, to see me as a friend, and you couldnā€™t even do that. What was so unlikable in me that you had to do that? Huh? Why did you let me hang around, then discard me on a mountain. A fucking mountain, Geralt.ā€
He was shouting now. Everyone downstairs would hear, not that Geralt minded. They already thought the worst of him.
ā€œGot nothing to say. Typical.ā€
Jaskier turned around, his shoulders shaking.
Fuck, I made him cry.
Not for the first time.
No, not for the first time. Jaskier had been hurt so much by him and yet here he was, hurting him all over again.
ā€œJaskier, I donā€™t want you to cry. Not over me.ā€
The bard whipped around at speed. He stepped forward, pointing a finger into his chest.
ā€œYou donā€™t get to choose how I feel,ā€ he snapped. ā€œYou never cared. Why care now?ā€
Geralt let himself be pushed backwards till his back hit the door. ā€œIā€™m- Jaskier, I-ā€
ā€œFuck off, witcher.ā€
ā€œPlease,ā€ Geralt pleaded, dropping to his knees. ā€œPlease, I need you.ā€
Jaskier scoffed. ā€œSure, thatā€™s how you get me back, telling me you need me. Leave. Iā€™m over this.ā€
Those eyes werenā€™t cruel. They were begging Geralt to do as he was asked. Even now, Jaskier didnā€™t think he had the right to ask this, but he did, and more.
ā€œOkay,ā€ Geralt acquiesced, standing up. ā€œIā€™ll give you some space, but tomorrow, would you see Roach? She misses you.ā€
That gave Jaskier pause. A small smile appeared on his lips for a second, then disappeared. His face deathly pale with exhaustion.
ā€œYes, okay,ā€ Jaskier agreed. ā€œJust, leave me alone tonight.ā€
It takes everything in Geralt to nod and leave the room. Heā€™s barely closed the door when he hears Jaskier sobbing.
He doesnā€™t even notice the glares from the tavern patrons as he leaves.
All he does is lay his bedroll outside Roachā€™s pen and try his best to fall asleep.
Images of a dandelion poking through the ice fills his mind.
Destiny had brought him here. He shouldnā€™t hope. He shouldnā€™t.
He couldnā€™t help it.
Fuck.

Belle called up a smile when she recognized the man standing in wait at the bookstore door. In her time as Rumpelstiltskin's companion, she had met several of the more important tradesmen in the Dark Mountains both out of necessity and in the odd social occasion she convinced Rumpelstiltskin to attend.
The seamstress and her husband were among those Belle met more often, after she won the argument for everyday dresses that weren't thrown together with magicked cloth and a stitching spell.
Her compromise had been to allow Rumpelstiltskin free reign on her ball gowns.
(The man had good taste, after all, if loud and showy. Belle always enjoyed the result on the mirror, and, well... Wouldn't it have been a shame not to allow his power that harmless outlet?)
"Master Frank," she greeted the man, offering a hand.
He looked at it with obvious hesitation. The curse had ingrained in all of them the manners of Maine culture, but there were several who hesitated now that Emma had broken the curse.
He did take the hand, but quickly bowed over it to kiss the air over her knuckles.
Belle fixed her smile, but inwardly groaned. A bookstore owner didn't get this gallantry. The Dark One's maid, however, when called upon by an inhabitant of the mountains that surrounded the Dark Castle, was treated like an ambassador between the people and the power none else would dare interrupt with small matters.
"Madam," said the seamstress' husband, "I've come to beg for your time and patience..."
"Of course," she agreed at once. The better to get it over with. "Please come in," she said as she unlocked the door, "We can talk at my desk."
He smiled in obvious relief, following after her. Once seated, he refused the offer of a beverage.
"How may I help you?"
He fidgeted a little before taking a deep breath. "We heard... My wife and I, I mean. Is it true there is a way back to our world?"
Belle bit her lip. Of course the rumor had started as soon as Snow White and Emma had disappeared. The whole of Storybrooke was now as obsessed with portals as Rumpelstiltskin had once been. "Not as such," she told him gently. "Queen Snow and the deputy were taken by force, and we do have reason to believe they're now in the Enchanted Forest... Whatever remained of it after the curse swept in." She saw him pale and too late regretted including that last tidbit. "We are working to recover them, of course, but..." She shrugged. "It's still a work in progress."
His face fell further.
"Are you having difficulties in Storybrooke, Frank?" she asked, worried now.
These people were not under the Dark Castle's purview anymore, but Belle felt a bit of an obligation anyway. While Rumpelstiltskin had plotted, Regina grew bitter, and Belle herself had struggled to believe in happy endings, the common people had been betrayed out of their very homes.
Thankfully, Frank shook his head. "Not as such, no. Of course I wouldn't come to you to complain, m'lady!" he rushed to reassure her. "Our house is grand enough for us and the littles. And the amenities! This world is truly a wonder." He sighed, though. "We just thought... My wife and I, I mean. If we could reach our lands, perhaps we could get some decent fabric for our work..."
Belle blinked. "Fabric?"
"Exactly!" He grew more animated. "The quality here is, well. Have you tried the cotton, Lady Belle? My Bertha would die of shame if she had to present you with even a sock in this world!"
"...I see."
Belle didn't, but she was broadminded enough to understand that priorities would differ. Personally she hadn't noticed much of a difference in the local clothing aside for the shorter fashions. but she also had already complained to Rumpelstiltskin about the lack of leather covers for newer books.
"Well," Frank said dejectedly. "Nothing to do about it anyway."
Belle smiled encouragingly. "I trust your wife's work to triumph, no matter the available materials." She rose, making to accompany him to the door and answering his bow with a slight curtsey. "In fact, please do tell Miss Bertha that I'll visit her soon."
The seamstress' husband grinned, giving her a lower bow. "We'll be glad to have you, Lady Belle!"
Once the man was out of sight, Belle sat back at her desk and considered the situation.
Rumpelstiltskin was busy breaking the town line. Regina was recovering her son's trust.
Happy endings were closer at hand this time. Perhaps she could keep an eye on what happened around them this time.

Tumblr media
"I love you Namjoon."
Your last words still rang strong in his mind even after three years had passed since he last saw or heard from you.
During those years his main focus was his career, doing everything in his power to make sure everyone would forget about you and not harass you or your family - serving also as a way to distract himself.
But it's in the moments where all is calm and quiet and he has time to himself that his thoughts and memories of you are stronger.
He missed you - your voice, your smile, your eyes, the way your body seemed to fit perfectly with his as if two pieces of a puzzle, how you could calm his over-reacting mind especially after a stressful day, how being in your mere presence would light up his entire worldā€¦
It was worse in the beginning - would barely eat and sleep, focusing most of his mental energy on writing lyrics that would be thrown in the trash at the mere remembrance of you. Every time he closed his eyes memories of the times you spend together invaded his mind and would abruptly wake him, to which he would cry silently until either falling back to sleep or getting up to start his day.
The rest of the members had tried their best to help in any way they could think of, from giving Namjoon time and space to get himself back on his feet to receiving an earful once he got too lost in his thoughts and damaged himself.
He appreciated their concerns and he knew they were acting like that because they were worried about him but a lot of the time, he wished they would just leave him alone, wallowing in self-pity as you haunted every second of his life - moments where he didn't have to pretend that everything was fine.
Moments where he wasn't RM, the strong and dependable leader, but Kim Namjoon, the man left broken by the breakup that cost him a future with the love of his life.
Moments like right nowā€¦
He was walking around the park for a while now, trying to distract himself of thoughts of you and in search of inspiration for a new song. The sky was gray, looking like it could rain at any moment. He kept his eyes on the ground, watching his every step as he walked without a real direction.
Namjoon had gotten better at not thinking about you all the time, mostly because the stress from work kept him busy, but that hadn't stop the thought that, maybe, just maybe, he had choose wrong when he picked his career over you.
He would often imagine what his life would've been like if he had chosen differentlyā€¦
His brain told him that it wouldn't have worked - your life would be filled with bullying and death threats, accusing you of breaking up BTS; you would agree with the comments and blame yourself; maybe he would grow to resent you, as would the other membersā€¦ hell, what would he even be doing for a job?
His heart, however, told that everything would've worked out - you would've gotten married as soon as everything calmed down; maybe with a child on the way; the members would be understanding and supporting of his decision; you would get through the hard times togetherā€¦
Namjoon stopped as he felt raindrops fall on him, it felt as if God himself was saying that he should stop thinking about such nonsense.
He sighed, honestly in doubt on if he actually believed in these scenarios or was fooling himself into believing them.
If he could only see you one more time, just one more time, that was all he was asking.
Then, as if to curse or bless him, there you were.
You were sitting on a bench, staring up at the sky, most likely wondering if the rain was going to pick, and looking just as beautiful as he remembered.
The eyes he stared into and see galaxies in them, the lips he kissed so deeply until you both ran out of breath, the body he grasped so close to his until there was no space in between, the hands he hold close to his heartā€¦
ā€¦Used to, he reminded himself, it was all in the past now.
He was frozen in place, scared that the slightest movement would reveal that it was all a dream, all the while you remained unaware of his presence.
He wanted to see if you were really there.
But before he even had a chance to move, someone else got to you first.
A child, that didn't seem to be older than three, ran up to you and showed you the flowers it had picked while you were distracted by the weather, a smile gracing both of your faces.
Both of you were so caught up in your own world that neither noticed him, as he stood there in shock staring at you, mouth agape, and his thoughts running wild. Had he heard the child's words correctly?
As the rain started to fall you were quick to pick up the baby and walk away, carrying the infant tightly in your arms to protect it.
You never noticed that he was there but the little girl in your arms did. As you walked the child peeked behind your shoulder, her eyes landing on him. She waved her tiny arm at him and he waved back as tears were starting to well up in his eyes.
Namjoon was sure that he would never forget the words that were breaking his heart in even more pieces:
"Mommy"
