I made a pillow!
It took four months of non-stop cross-stitching, but I finally finished a pattern I bought from @8pxl a little bit ago, and tonight in a bizarre burst of productivity I finally sewed a back to it and stuffed it into a cute little pillow! It ended up being pretty much perfectly sized for a neck pillow, but I'm a bit worried about it getting dirty that way.
I highly recommend the patterns from 8xpl's shop, there are SO many gorgeous ones to choose from. I might end up getting another one soon o3o

Can't Say No to You
Request: Could I request one with Sam and Dean (they are all best friends and either Sam or Dean has a crush on y/n; you can choose who!) where they all had just gotten back from a hunt and y/n decides to take a shower and then clean up a little bit around the bunker, and then while she is doing the dishes she’s listening to music on a speaker and she dances/sings along to the music (any choice of music). The boys catch her.. something like that? Sorry it’s such a long request I’ve been trying to look for someone to write this idea :))
Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader
Masterlist
Story:
"I am very much looking forward to getting home", [Y/N] sighed from the passenger seat in the Impala. Dean was driving, as usual, and he nodded in agreement. It had been a quick enough hunt, but the drive back had been a long one, and they were all looking forward to a rest.
"I'm just looking forward to being able to stretch my legs since someone stole my spot", Sam said from behind Dean, and [Y/N] looked around to smile sheepishly at him. "And someone else", he flicked Dean on the back of his head, "let them".
"Hey", Dean reached around to rub the back of his head. "That someone just saved both our asses back there. She can sit up front if she wants".
"Mhmm, she can have whatever she wants, because that someone else can't say no to her". Sam sat back and crossed his arms, and [Y/N] giggled as he reminded her of a child throwing a tantrum.
"Sam, are you saying that you can say no to me?" [Y/N] asked him. He mumbled something and looked out the window. She caught Dean's eye and they shared a quiet laugh at Sam's expense, before she turned up the music and the three of them listened to it for the rest of the ride home. Truth was, neither of the boys could say no to her, because they both had an above-average soft spot for her. Dean's soft spot just may have been slightly bigger and may have run deeper than Sam's, but she had both of them wrapped around her finger, and they knew it.
***
[Y/N] announced that she was taking a long, hot shower first as soon as she got out of the car in the bunker's garage. The boys watched her almost skip off towards the bathroom as they pulled their hunting gear out of the car. "She's gonna be the death of you", Sam chuckled as he closed the trunk.
"What?" Dean asked, pulling her bag up over his shoulder and grabbing his own.
"When was the last time she carried her own bag in from the car?"
"She hurt her arm on the hunt", Dean shrugged, starting to walk out towards the bedrooms.
"You mean that scratch on her elbow? She lost what, two drops of blood? Maybe you should go find her and stitch her up", Sam said as he caught up with Dean.
"Yeah, and who was it that drove to not one, not two, not three, but four different grocery stores last week because we were out of her favourite ice cream?" Dean chuckled and Sam paused for a moment in contemplation before sighing.
"She's gonna be the death of both of us".
***
Later in the evening, Dean was in his room, lounging on his bed and scribbling down some notes in his journal about how the hunt had gone, when he heard music playing. Not just any music, but one of his favourites, Ramble On, a song that made it on to nearly every one of his mix tapes. He closed his journal and tossed it to the end of his bed before getting up and wandering out of his room, following the sound of the song. He stopped outside the entranceway to the kitchen. There she was, one of his cassette players set on the counter beside her, while she was cleaning up some dishes that they'd left behind before the hunt. He watched as she swayed her hips from side to side and nodded her head in time with the beat, and he crossed his arms and smiled as he listened to her humming along. He leaned against the entranceway and watched in adoration, the attraction he felt for her was just different to other women, he couldn't quite name it though.
The song had ended and the next one started playing when he felt a nudge on his shoulder, and he looked over to see Sam chuckling and shaking his head, watching her too. "How is she so carefree, when we hunt monsters for a living?" He asked quietly, and Dean shrugged, thinking about it for a minute.
"I think she just makes time for it. You know, time to just not worry about monsters and demons, just be a girl, listening to music, and screw everything else".
Sam looked at his brother, who's eyes were still glued to [Y/N]. He'd seen desire in Dean's eyes before when talking to attractive women, but this was more than just desire. Sam knew [Y/N] was special to Dean. He turned around to walk back towards his room, but stopped to pat Dean on the back and leaned in towards him. "Tell her how you feel", he said, not waiting for Dean's response and leaving the two of them alone.
Dean waited a moment longer, enjoying the sight in front of him, before he pushed himself off the doorway and stepped down into the kitchen. He walked up behind her and smirked to himself before leaning close to her ear and whispering "Boo". She yelped and twisted around to slap him in the face with a scrubbing brush and frowned as he laughed at her reaction.
"You scared the shit out of me, Dean... Jesus", she shook her head but gave him a small smile as she realised she'd just wet half of his face with her attack. "Sorry", she reached behind her to drop the brush into the sink and grab a towel, and lifted it up to dab his face gently. He studied her face as she did so, and he felt a warmth inside him as she concentrated on the task. She was about to turn around and put it back when he took it from her.
"You have suds on your forehead", he grinned as he started to wipe her face too, and he laughed as she blushed in embarrassment. He threw the towel behind her when he was done, and then hooked his thumb under her chin to tilt her face up towards him, looking to see that he hadn't missed anything. He tucked her hair behind her ear and let his hand stay on her cheek, feeling the warmth from her blush. She closed her eyes and leaned into his touch, humming quietly in content.
"How long were you watching me for?" She asked, opening her eyes and looking up at him. Now it was his turn to blush.
"You uh, knew I was there?"
"I'm a hunter, I'm always aware of my surroundings", she smiled up at him. "I don't mind, I like watching you too".
"You do?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Mhmm", she nodded. "I like watching when you work on Baby. You know, when you have your sleeves rolled up".
"Really? Why is that?"
"You're nice to look at", she said, looking up into his eyes.
"Yeah... yeah so are you", he said, lowering his hand from her cheek to her neck, wrapping around the back of it. They were standing very close together now, [Y/N] leaning against the counter and Dean's hips pressing into her stomach.
"What would you say if I asked you to kiss me?" She asked, her forwardness raising Dean's eyebrows.
"Well", he chuckled, "you already know I can't say no to you". She grinned up at him as he leaned down, and slowly but firmly, with purpose, pressed his lips to hers. They closed their eyes as [Y/N] wrapped her hands around his waist and Dean held her face between his hands. They fit together perfectly. He broke the kiss for a moment, keeping his eyes closed and leaning his forehead against hers. It was now or never. "[Y/N]... I uh.. I'm not really sure how-".
"I know", she cut him off. "I like you too". Relief flooded through him and he immediately kissed her again. It was like she transfered some of her carefree thoughts to him in that moment, as all he could think about was her, and how happy she made him. Sam was right, she was going to be the death of him, and he welcomed it.
The end

I fucking adore you for that prompt bc the fact that Adam knew Angel by name was/is stuck in my brain too and I've been meaning to write pornstar!male!reader for a while, you simply gave me an actual reason to do so. Also the warmest, cuddliest hugs to @ultimateissuessimp who not only helped me to come up w a plot but also fixed my writers block xoxo to you bro.
Any way you want me, baby, that's the way you got me

warnings: language, smut, sex without consent (it's not Adam guys, chill), mention of sexual abuse, choking (with and without consent), unprotected sex, reader dies (then he ends up in heaven)
note: not beta read bc fuck you I don't have beta readers
Your pimp massaged his temples and sighed, “Stop acting like a fucking picky whore, if you want your fucking money you'll do the job.” You crossed your arms over your chest, you were having none of it.
It had been a couple of years since you started doing what you did, it had been a couple of years since you had dedicated yourself to that fucking asshole who was trying to force you into something that was way outside your comfort zone. So you have learned to stand up for yourself, to say no. And usually that was fine because usually your clients weren't some snobby bitches with an ass full of money. This time your client was exactly that though, and that asshole of boss - at this point you were sure you could call him that - saw the money and nothing but the money. So a ‘no’ wasn't on the table for you this time as it seemed.
“Fuck you, I'm telling ya, I'm not doing that bullshit,” you told the man in front of you. He however simply grabbed your wrist and pulled you in, “You’re gonna drop that fucking attitude of yours right fucking now because you're gonna do it, if you want or not is irrelevant.” You huffed and ripped your arm from his grip, “Fucking fine, but if that whore breaks me it's on you.” At that your boss chuckled deeply as he gave your cheek a light pat, “Good boy.”
So there you were huh? In a room with some asshole you didn't trust the slightest bit.
It didn't take long for the man to not only undress himself but also to basically tear the fabric off your body - quite literally because your shirt was being ripped open and he yanked your pants down hard enough for the stitches to give out on it.
Your mind went blank after that, everything was just a hazy blur as you tried to get it over with. There were cold hands on your body, then you fell, the landing was surprisingly soft.
A scream filled with pain ripped from your throat as the man thrusted in, in, in until he was fully inside of you, no lube, no preparation. A hand was firmly pressed against your mouth and while probably not intended, he also covered your nose leaving you no way to breathe but you took it, what were you supposed to do? Say no? With that hand on your lips? Yeah, pretty impossible. You also doubted that the asshole would care about your wants. It all went down when his other hand wrapped around your throat and squeezed, he didn't even try to ask for consent, he just took what he wanted, maybe needed.
Your hands were on his wrists in an instant, your nails dug into his skin in order to try and push his hands off of you but to no result, he was stronger. And then the hazy blur faded to black.
-
When Adam read the news about his favorite porn actor being killed he was quite furious.
The news articles all stated the same, that some rich bitch had paid for a session with you - an recorded one on top of it - and had choked you to death. And on top of that the manager of you had published the video, hell Adam was even able to see you die at his hands.
The news articles also blamed you for not giving him any signals to stop, Adam thought that was bullshit. He had followed your porn career for a while now, he had seen interviews too, if only two - it wasn't like many people wanted to interview pornstars on a daily base - he knew you had this little rule about consent and therefore he knew you had given the man signals he just tended to ignore them.
“Can you fucking believe it, Lute?” he asked angrily as he held his phone in front of her face, on the tiny screen there was a news article about your death, a picture of your corpse covered by a white sheet was also featured. Lute looked at it briefly, then shrugged, “Who cares? Just another whore that'll end up in hell.” Adam put down his phone and grabbed Lute by her shirt, “Watch your fucking mouth, he wasn't like the rest of those disgusting sluts.” Lute just shot him a weird look and mumbled a quiet, “Whatever, Sir,” as Adam let go of her clothes.
-
When the world around you got bright you were confused, what had happened?
You found yourself in someone's office, the walls were painted white and there were golden accents to make the room seem less stirile. “Where the fuck am I?” you asked, visibly confused as three pairs of eyes stared at you, one of them was a small girl, she looked delighted to see you. Then there was a woman, you figured it must have been her mother or something like that, she offered you a small smile. The last one was the face of a man who seemed to be equally confused as you were at first, but soon his expression softened a little.
“Well look who we have here,” the man spoke and got out of his seat to walk over to you. He wrapped an arm around your shoulders as he shot you a sharp grin.
“Welcome to heaven, Y/N.”
-
It took a good while for you to get used to the afterlife you were expecting, it looked like your beliefs had been with you and that God had decided to put you out of your misery and send you to heaven a little sooner than you had thought. Not that you complained though, the company was better than the people that had surrounded you on earth.
Adam and you had grown to be close friends in no time and soon after your bond had increased so much you had asked the first man out. He had agreed and so the two of you started dating.
He was surprisingly soft with you - was it really surprising though, given that he knew how you had died? No, not really. But it was nice that he accepted your ‘no’ without further questions - sometimes, when he was really into something you said no to, he sat down with you and talked it out, gave you all the options to stop whenever it got too much or you simply didn't like it. Consensual sex without fighting for what you wanted and didn't want was new to you, it wasn't something your former boss or former clients had ever given you.
But that all shattered when Adam requested something that really didn't sit right with you.
“Fuck no,” you exclaimed, and got up from the bed, “No choking, not after-” you cut yourself off, you weren't able to say it out loud, not yet at least, “No.” Adam sighed, he wasn't annoyed or frustrated, he was actually able to understand the situation you were in quite well. “Babes, I’m not gonna hurt you like that bastard did,” he explained himself while also giving you the space you needed, otherwise you'd feel cornered and that was the least thing he wanted you to feel in that moment.
You knew that, in the name of God, you fucking knew Adam wouldn't choke you unconscious and he most importantly wouldn't kill you again by doing so but it felt wrong to let anyone grab you by the throat with the slightest bit of force. “Adam,” you pleaded, your eyes begging him to drop the topic. Adam's body language softened and he patted on the bed, a nonverbal request for you to sit down again. You hesitated for a moment, then you sat down again.
His wing wrapped around you immediately and his arms pulled you to sit on his lap. His chin was resting on your shoulder as he softly spoke, “I’m not asking you to live through a full fucking session, I'm asking you to try it, to let me show you how it's properly done. You can always tell me to stop and I'll be off of you in an instant. I won't ask you to ever try it again if you don't like it.” The brunette's hands rested on your chest, one of them slowly moved upwards to caress your neck and acting out of instincts you leaned into the soft and warm touch of his.
You thought about it. You thought about it for a while and you came to the conclusion that Adam was right. Trying was okay, trying meant you were allowed to hate it. So you hummed in agreement adding a quiet, “Okay.”
-
Soft lips were kissing your throat and you tilted your head upwards to offer Adam more excess. The first man gladly took it as an invitation to leave hickeys on the soft skin of yours which earned him a throaty moan. “Someone’s fucking horny,” Adam grinned and pressed his palm against the slowly growing bulge in your pants. You immediately lifted your hips to chase the friction that was given to you, a deep groan was ringing through Adam's ears, fuck he could listen to the sounds you were making all day. “You’re one to talk,” you breathlessly countered and lifted your knee against Adam's crotch. The taller man's hips stuttered and his wings flapped in excitement at the newfound and unexpected friction. “Oh fuck,” he mumbled against your throat as his fingers clawed at your shoulders and his nails dug into your skin, the pain it caused was different than the pain men had brought you back on earth, the pain Adam was giving to you always felt so deliciously holy and you could drown in it.
You have had sex before with all kinds of men, rude and harsh ones, shy and soft ones, ones that took what they wanted and then left without the slightest thought of satisfying you. But with Adam it was different, Adam always made sure you were feeling as much pleasure as he was experiencing and if he were to get too caught up to jerk you off, he'd blow you afterwards.
Your fingers itched towards the hem of Adam's robe and pulled the soft fabric up until his lower half was exposed. “Get that stupid shit off, it's cockblocking us,” you growled with lust audible in your voice. That was something Adam was quick to do, he was always so eager to get undressed for you, no matter what, no matter when.
Once Adam's robe had hit the floor, your clothes were joining it in no time. Your naked bodies were pressed together, his lips never left your skin long enough for you to actually miss them, they were on you constantly. “Gonna fuck that brain out of your pretty head babes, it'll be all you will be able to think about for the entire week,” the first man whispered in a deep, aroused voice that gave you the most pleasant kind of goosebumps you've ever had and your body shuddered against his lips. “You gotta try real hard for that, you sure you can fuck me that well?” you teased, very much aware that, yes, he was able to do as he had just said, he had proven it before and he'd prove it again. “Watch it, whore,” he grinned up at you and then your nipple disappeared between his lips and another moan tore from your throat to let the first man know what an incredible job he was doing.
Back on earth you had disliked, maybe even hated the term. It was always used as an insult that was supposed to play down what you were doing but when Adam said it, it sounded like the most beautiful thing to achieve, to be called whore by Adam was something you took with pride, something that made your body heat rush to all the right areas.
“Nah,” you replied and even though it was more of a whine than an actual statement, you confidently continued, “You like it when I use my mouth and we both fucking know it.” Adam's wings twitched at the thought of you sucking him off and his eyes revealed that he liked the idea - not for now though, now you two had other plans. “Sure do, babes, sure do,” the brunette agreed as he reached for the bottle of lube that he had placed on the bedside table earlier.
That was also another thing you appreciated about the sex with Adam, while he made sure you were feeling that holy version of pain earth could never compare to, he was also gentle, well as gentle as someone like Adam could be. But he prepared you, always did, and he was the type of guy who'd rather use too much lube than not enough.
At first it had been weird for you that Adam knew about your carrier, in the name of Lord above that motherfucker had seen you die because of that stupid porno. But it turned out to be quite useful for him to have all that knowledge about your past, that way he knew how far he was allowed to go without constantly having to ask you. He did check on your well-being during sex though, a thing you appreciated very much. He also knew about the things you were into, figuring his kinks out was as easy as breathing, the first man did nothing to hide the things that turned him on.
Adam covered his fingers in lube, waited a moment for the liquid to warm up and then slowly started to push his index finger inside of you. Your back arched and your hips rocked down on his finger, taking it like it was a daily thing - maybe because it was. “Gimme the second one,” you breathed out and watched as Adam moved his hand a little, his index finger almost slipped out and you were about to complain but before you had the chance to, two fingers were thrusted inside of you and you groaned, “That’s what I'm talking ‘bout, pretty boy.”
“Just look at the filthy little slut you are,” his hand moved up and down your side before it stilled on your hip bone, “So fucking eager to take the first dick ever made.” You nodded, “And so fucking ready too, so what ya waiting for, big guy?” Your lips had curled up into a shit eating grin as you challenged him, “Scared you'll hurt me?” Oh and that made something inside of Adam snap.
He quickly withdrew his fingers, causing you to complain about the emptiness you were left with. “Adam,” you whined and wiggled your ass closer to his hips, “I can take both, your fingers and your dick.” That earned you a light slap on your hips, “Don’t be so fucking impatient, you'll get what is needed to shut your mouth.” “I think it'll make me open up instead, moaning yo-” you cut yourself off with a loud moan because the brunette had just bottomed out inside of you without any kind of warning. And the burn that came with it from how wide his dick stretched you was beautiful through and through.
“Don’t just fucking talk about moaning my name, do it,” he demanded and gripped your hips firmly to keep you from squirming, he didn't move however, gave you the time you needed to get used to the feeling. Oh the self control this man had was driving you insane. “Goddamn it, fuck me already, what use is it to have the first dick inside of me when it doesn't fucking do shit,” you whined as you threw your head back into the pillows.
Adam didn't move his hips, however he leaned over you and wrapped his left hand around your throat, there was no pressure at all, just the feeling of his hand. For a moment panic flooded your brain and your body screamed at you to make him stop, to tell him not to fucking touch you like that, but then he spoke up and his voice was so soft, sounded so worried, “You decide when it is too much, if this is too much you simply say so and I won't touch you like that again unless you ask for it like a good fucking boy you can be.”
You closed your eyes, took a deep breath and relaxed, his hand was still on your throat but you relaxed. “No, it's okay,” you whispered without looking at him, then added, “Now get to the fucking point and fuck my brains out like you promised.” And then there was pressure on your throat but at the same time the brunette started to move his hips, the pace at which his hips slammed in and out was bruising but it was exactly what you needed. You bared your throat as much as you could, showing him that it was okay, showing him that you trusted him with this, “Fuck, Adam.”
The sound of Adam's balls slapping against your ass filled the room and while one hand was firmly yet not painfully wrapped around your throat, the other slowly slid up your torso until it reached your nipple, the skilful fingers of your lover twisted it in such delicious ways that moan after moan spilled from your lips and Adam admired it, admired you. He was purely enchanted whenever you got vocal during sex - which was quite often.
“Fucking right, whore, moan for me ‘n’ my dick,” he hissed before he caught your lips in a bruising kiss, your back arched off the mattress even more, your hips tried to chase his whenever he pulled out only to slam himself back in again a second later. A whine fell from your lips and seeped into the kiss, your wings closed around his back, trapping the both of you behind feathers but neither of you minded, you were both too caught up in pleasure to care about such things. “Adam, please,” you moaned as your hips helplessly moved in sync with his own, “Fucking touch me.”
Normally Adam would make you beg for it, deny you your orgasm for as long as he could, but not that day. You had been doing so well for him, had tried something that neither of you were sure you would like. You had given him your trust by allowing you to touch in ways no one ever touched you with consent and he wanted to reward you for it, wanted to give you what you so desperately graved. As he attempted to let go of your throat you stopped him. Your hand tightly gripped his wrist in order to keep his hand where it was and you looked him in the eyes as you said, “I fucking dare you to stop choking me, use your other hand to jerk me off.”
He couldn't help the chuckle that rumbled through his body but he did as he was told and once his hand had started to stroke your dick, it only took you a few moments to reach your climax. The white wetness covered your stomach, a few drops even reached Adam's chest but you were too fucked out to pay any mind to it, all that you were able to focus on was Adam, Adam, Adam. Adam, who was fucking you through your orgasm to chase his own, Adam who didn't take much longer to reach his peak, Adam who filled you up with his cum until it started to leak.
The first man breathed heavily on top of you as he pulled out, a weak snap of his fingers cleaned both of your bodies before he fell into the sheets beside you. Well to be fair he had landed on your wing instead of the mattress but you couldn't bring yourself to care. You turned around to face him and curled up against his chest, Adam wrapped his entire body around you in order to keep you warm and protected.
“Thank you, Adam.”
He kissed your head softly.
“Anything for you, babes.”

"Nobara, what am I looking at?" you laughed, staring at the carefully laid black gown on your bed.
"I don't know but it's awful" Nobara replied, staring at the dress's lack of detail, and poor stitching. "Megumi is expecting me to wear this. Tonight. In front of his entire family," you added, standing next to Nobara as you both looked at the dress.
"Well, Megumi is going to just see you in the dress I personally picked out for you" Nobara smiled, walking towards your wooden closet, and dramatically opening the doors. There was one of the most beautiful corset dress you've ever seen, elegantly  dangling on the coat hanger, basically begging you to wear it.
"Judging by your silence, I'm going to assume that the dress that I have so gracefully blessed you has left you speechless. However, if you could say something it probably would be 'Nobara Kugisaki is the best lady in waiting ever and she has the nicest hair in this castle." Nobara mimicked, a grin on her lips.
"It's perfect" you uttered, tracing your finger on the hem of the dress. "Thank you, Nobara" you added.
"I know. I'm great" Nobara laughed, crossing her arms.
"Well, I'll trust that you can get changed by yourself because I also intend to look my best if I'm going to meet blood thirsty conquers " Nobara added, patting your shoulder as she walked passed you.
---
You were tightening the corset of your dress, looking at yourself through your bedroom's vanity as Megumi walked through your door- not bothering to knock, pausing in this track, scanning your outfit.
"You're not wearing the dress I picked out" he uttered, eyes narrowing. "Well, I thought I would wear something nice when I'm meeting my future in-laws" You replied, a passive-aggressive smile across your lips. Megumi huffed, blowing a strand of dark hair off his forehead, "Let me tighten that for you, you're taking forever."
"You don't have to" you replied but it was pointless, Megumi was already behind you, so close to you that you could feel his breath hit the nape of your neck. His fingers trace your corset before wrapping the ribbons around his digits and gently pulling them.
He wrapped his palm around your waist, slowly spinning you to face him, "the dress is...alright. I suppose" he mumbled.
"Well unlike you, I understand women's fashion" you teased causing Megumi to roll his eyes. "I don't care what you wear or even how you look like. Honestly, it'll all be about the way your actions that matter to me. All the dresses I've assigned you were meant for mere comfort, not fashion" he added.
God, of course, a guy like Megumi doesn't care about looks- He's already naturally beautiful.
"What happened to your hand, Y/n." Megumi huffed, his voice snapping you out of your thoughts, his eyes widening as his attention was caught by your bandaged hand.
"N-nothing" you replied, trying to laugh his worries away, hiding your palm behind your back. "It's not nothing. I'm your fiancé. You can't hide these types of things from me" Megumi mumbled, gently holding your bandaged palm, tracing his thumb on it.
"Sorry," you replied, unsure what you were apologizing for. "Did someone do this to you? Was it one of the twins?" Megumi asked, slightly panicked, aware that his family could be quite... impulsive sometimes. "No-no, this was all me. I picked up a shard of glass by mistake" you replied, trying to wave him off. Megumi sighed, shaking his head, "god, please be more careful next time."
"I usually am" you mumbled, unsure why Megumi is such a concern when he almost fed you to wolves...Maybe because he thought someone else hurt you?
"Tonight is going to be one of the most important dinners you'll ever have. That's why I want you to let me do all the speaking for you" Megumi advised.
"So, you want me to shut up and just eat dinner. That sounds unreasonable, doesn't it?" you asked, eyes narrowing. "Well- If you put it that way of course it sounds bad" Megumi muttered, an irritated expression on his face.
"Well is there anyone I'm 'allowed'  to talk to" you replied. Megumi took a moment to think, "Am I not enough conversationalist to entertain you, Y/n?" Megumi questioned causing you to roll your eyes.
As the night approached, you found yourself at the birthday dinner you had been dreading all day, a chair filled with members of the Zenin clan, each one of them looking more rugged than the first.
And of course- you're 'fresh meat' so you'll be their subject of interest tonight. There was a person that made you sick to your stomach, a certain blonde hair, ear pierced, brown-eyed Zenin member. Also known as Naoya Zenin.
"Y/n, how are you liking living in the Zenin manor," Naoya asked, sitting across from you on the long wooden detailed dining table, his head resting on his palm.
"She's getting used to it" Megumi answered for you, blue eyes narrowing at Naoya. "I think she can answer for herself. There's no reason to be quiet, I mean we're going to be family soon, right?" Naoya laughed. Megumi directed his glare at you, giving you a subtle nod to speak.
"I'm still learning what things are like in this family" you uttered.
Naoya clapped his hands, "I suppose us, Zenins, is a bit different from... Wherever you came from" Naoya laughed.
"My father told me that you and Megumi were arranged, is this correct?" Naoya questioned, leaning over the table.
"Yes, my father agreed to Mr. L/n's proposal" Megumi answered for you again, his tone stern.
Naoya clicked his tongue, "You should be lucky, Toji agreed. Y/n here is quite the looker" Naoya chuckled to himself, knowing that he's overstepping boundaries.
Megumi rolled his eyes at the comment, "that's a bold statement to say to her fiance" Megumi replied.
"What? It's not like you actually love her" Naoya blurted.
"We're Zenins. We don't fall in love" Naoya added.
Megumi went silent, unable to argue with Naoya's logic causing a big smirk to lay on Naoya's lips.
"So, when will you be giving us the next Zenin child?" Naoya asked, shamelessly.
"Excuse me." you laughed as a response.
The rest of the night was quite...unpleasant, filled with constant nagging and a drunk Toji who tried to find someone to gamble with.
As you try to laugh off a somewhat controversial joke made by Naoya, from the corner of your eye you spot Megumi slipping away to the balcony. You excused yourself from a disappointed Naoya- only letting you go because you promised you'd 'consider' letting him give you a speech at your wedding.
"Megumi" you called out, pushing the window's curtain aside as you stepped onto the balcony, the midnight sky illuminated the stars, a soft breeze brushing against the branches of the forest, Megumi's back pressed against the balcony's railing, his eyes closed as if he's trying to regain his composure from that awful dinner.
"It's cold out here, you should go back inside" Megumi uttered, his eyes remaining closed, admiring the breeze pushing his hair off his face.
"Probably...but I wanted to give you your gift first" you responded, opening your purse to pull out a tiny silver gift box.
Megumi sighed, reluctantly taking your gift into his hand, "You didn't have to get me anything, honestly I don't care about my birth-" Megumi paused, his pupils dilating as he unboxed the chain, holding the piece of jewelry up.
"Where did you get this" he asked.
"In a box store in the cellar. I figured the 'F' stood for Fushiguro. So I polished it for your birthday gift" you lied, praying Toji's story was believable.
"It's not mine. It's my mother's" Megumi confessed, putting the chain back into its box.
"I-it is? Sorry, I- I seriously had no idea" you apologized, feeling guilty about reminding someone about their dead mother...on their birthday.
"No. Don't be. It's a lovely gift. Thank you." Megumi responded, his lips subtly turning into a sweet smile.
"If you don't mind me asking...why do you go by Fushiguro- and not Zenin?" you questioned.
Megumi sighed, "My father took my mother's last name. When I was four- the old assholes in there asked me if I wanted to go by Zenin or Fushiguro like my dad. I picked Fushiguro, I don't know why- maybe to honor my mom or something. Never really got the chance to know her" Megumi answered.
"Because of the trials," you uttered, remembering Maki saying something about Megumi's mother not exactly...passing her tests.
"It wasn't fair. Those bastards forced her to take the trials the week after she gave birth to me. Didn't even let her body recover" Megumi huffed, closing his eyes and imagining his poor mother having to go through god knows what right after the pain of labor.
"I'm sorry" you replied. "Don't be it's not your fault" Megumi added.
Megumi slowly approached you, the silence being filled with his footsteps, standing in front of you.
"I want you to wear this" he uttered, leaning over to wrap his mother's golden chain around your neck. "But it's supposed to be your gift" you argued, holding the 'F' shaped pendant in your hand.
"A much better gift is seeing my wife wear something so dear to me" Megumi mumbled, stepping back to admire you with the lovely piece of jewelry.
"Besides, I think the word Fushiguro suits you. "
"Nobara, what am I looking at?" you laughed, staring at the carefully laid black gown on your bed.
"I don't know but it's awful" Nobara replied, staring at the dress's lack of detail, and poor stitching. "Megumi is expecting me to wear this. Tonight. In front of his entire family," you added, standing next to Nobara as you both looked at the dress.
"Well, Megumi is going to just see you in the dress I personally picked out for you" Nobara smiled, walking towards your wooden closet, and dramatically opening the doors. There was one of the most beautiful corset dress you've ever seen, elegantly  dangling on the coat hanger, basically begging you to wear it.
"Judging by your silence, I'm going to assume that the dress that I have so gracefully blessed you has left you speechless. However, if you could say something it probably would be 'Nobara Kugisaki is the best lady in waiting ever and she has the nicest hair in this castle." Nobara mimicked, a grin on her lips.
"It's perfect" you uttered, tracing your finger on the hem of the dress. "Thank you, Nobara" you added.
"I know. I'm great" Nobara laughed, crossing her arms.
"Well, I'll trust that you can get changed by yourself because I also intend to look my best if I'm going to meet blood thirsty conquers " Nobara added, patting your shoulder as she walked passed you.
---
You were tightening the corset of your dress, looking at yourself through your bedroom's vanity as Megumi walked through your door- not bothering to knock, pausing in this track, scanning your outfit.
"You're not wearing the dress I picked out" he uttered, eyes narrowing. "Well, I thought I would wear something nice when I'm meeting my future in-laws" You replied, a passive-aggressive smile across your lips. Megumi huffed, blowing a strand of dark hair off his forehead, "Let me tighten that for you, you're taking forever."
"You don't have to" you replied but it was pointless, Megumi was already behind you, so close to you that you could feel his breath hit the nape of your neck. His fingers trace your corset before wrapping the ribbons around his digits and gently pulling them.
He wrapped his palm around your waist, slowly spinning you to face him, "the dress is...alright. I suppose" he mumbled.
"Well unlike you, I understand women's fashion" you teased causing Megumi to roll his eyes. "I don't care what you wear or even how you look like. Honestly, it'll all be about the way your actions that matter to me. All the dresses I've assigned you were meant for mere comfort, not fashion" he added.
God, of course, a guy like Megumi doesn't care about looks- He's already naturally beautiful.
"What happened to your hand, Y/n." Megumi huffed, his voice snapping you out of your thoughts, his eyes widening as his attention was caught by your bandaged hand.
"N-nothing" you replied, trying to laugh his worries away, hiding your palm behind your back. "It's not nothing. I'm your fiancé. You can't hide these types of things from me" Megumi mumbled, gently holding your bandaged palm, tracing his thumb on it.
"Sorry," you replied, unsure what you were apologizing for. "Did someone do this to you? Was it one of the twins?" Megumi asked, slightly panicked, aware that his family could be quite... impulsive sometimes. "No-no, this was all me. I picked up a shard of glass by mistake" you replied, trying to wave him off. Megumi sighed, shaking his head, "god, please be more careful next time."
"I usually am" you mumbled, unsure why Megumi is such a concern when he almost fed you to wolves...Maybe because he thought someone else hurt you?
"Tonight is going to be one of the most important dinners you'll ever have. That's why I want you to let me do all the speaking for you" Megumi advised.
"So, you want me to shut up and just eat dinner. That sounds unreasonable, doesn't it?" you asked, eyes narrowing. "Well- If you put it that way of course it sounds bad" Megumi muttered, an irritated expression on his face.
"Well is there anyone I'm 'allowed'  to talk to" you replied. Megumi took a moment to think, "Am I not enough conversationalist to entertain you, Y/n?" Megumi questioned causing you to roll your eyes.
As the night approached, you found yourself at the birthday dinner you had been dreading all day, a chair filled with members of the Zenin clan, each one of them looking more rugged than the first.
And of course- you're 'fresh meat' so you'll be their subject of interest tonight. There was a person that made you sick to your stomach, a certain blonde hair, ear pierced, brown-eyed Zenin member. Also known as Naoya Zenin.
"Y/n, how are you liking living in the Zenin manor," Naoya asked, sitting across from you on the long wooden detailed dining table, his head resting on his palm.
"She's getting used to it" Megumi answered for you, blue eyes narrowing at Naoya. "I think she can answer for herself. There's no reason to be quiet, I mean we're going to be family soon, right?" Naoya laughed. Megumi directed his glare at you, giving you a subtle nod to speak.
"I'm still learning what things are like in this family" you uttered.
Naoya clapped his hands, "I suppose us, Zenins, is a bit different from... Wherever you came from" Naoya laughed.
"My father told me that you and Megumi were arranged, is this correct?" Naoya questioned, leaning over the table.
"Yes, my father agreed to Mr. L/n's proposal" Megumi answered for you again, his tone stern.
Naoya clicked his tongue, "You should be lucky, Toji agreed. Y/n here is quite the looker" Naoya chuckled to himself, knowing that he's overstepping boundaries.
Megumi rolled his eyes at the comment, "that's a bold statement to say to her fiance" Megumi replied.
"What? It's not like you actually love her" Naoya blurted.
"We're Zenins. We don't fall in love" Naoya added.
Megumi went silent, unable to argue with Naoya's logic causing a big smirk to lay on Naoya's lips.
"So, when will you be giving us the next Zenin child?" Naoya asked, shamelessly.
"Excuse me." you laughed as a response.
The rest of the night was quite...unpleasant, filled with constant nagging and a drunk Toji who tried to find someone to gamble with.
As you try to laugh off a somewhat controversial joke made by Naoya, from the corner of your eye you spot Megumi slipping away to the balcony. You excused yourself from a disappointed Naoya- only letting you go because you promised you'd 'consider' letting him give you a speech at your wedding.

Thee Antwerp Gig Overview (by #5)
me and @jeevm arrived around 7:50am at the gig, numbers 4 and 5 bc belgians simply are not a queuing people. not much happened beside chaotic uno and trix doing a short interview with us seven? i think at that point i forget
the bus arrived a little before ten am, and we were allowed to sit inside at that point so we just all went outside again and just stood there for a whole ass three hours being clowns.
jaakko, jukka and jesse walked by a few times entirely undisturbed bc belgians also do not talk ever. (and dutch ppl ig). respectful times.
eventually, at around one, Häärijä got off the bus (mostly as a distraction for K going the other way). This man came by like proper we thought he was gonna just walk by, but he waved and then decided to ignore everyone and beeline straight into my direction for a hug? hello? unsure how he still knows what i look like (was not in the yellow tshirt yet bc cold and he hasnt seen me since simerock).
K and Jesse came by as well -- please note at this point there were like goddamn 40 people there. Nothing like the Munich papal visit scenes at any point.
K just the nicest. Didn't remember me from simerock (fair, it was a factory of photographs) and was like wtf rollo (as per ushe), complimented my boots bc he likes them (they are r+ but usually kids sizes) and i got to be "mean" abt the r+ ticket sale and the bus making it stressful. When he asked it I wanted him to sign anything, I didn't have anything and he just offered to sign my boots? Man did not expect the clown to clown communication that was happening bc he seemed very oh god for real when I agreed.
Someone gave him a necklace and instantly wanted to put it on. The person who gave it couldn't fasten it bc nails/shaking hands so I offered to try and then idk how it got fastened bc christ I shook as well. Not helpful: Mikke both filming that and the boot signing up close 😭
Told Jesse he told me at simerock that I should just join the tour bus and he went "yeah that sounds like something I would say." then scolded me for not having been in Berlin for that 😭
H wandered back and forth a bit, had another weird football chat (rip hazards career) where I was sitting on a little wall, back to the bus still at that point, and he just leaned into me turning around and just held my shoulders the entire time? When I got sweaty and took my hoodie off later he also suddenly grabbed my tshirt when it was riding up I am Feeling Fine.
Was wearing the yellow tshirt w the cross stitch and he made me turn to show Jesse??? And Jesse did the nicest "wait can I touch this?" bc I guess he thought it would be fragile???
People formed a nice selfie line and K just said he's santa claus 🎅
H vanished, then came back out of the bus, and we had a weird mime moment bc I wasnt sure if he was motioning at me to get to him away from the rest. He was and I got fucking free merch??? Like free, not yet available merch. Genuinely what the FUCK. Im making an extra post abt this most likely bc I cannot explain what the hell happened in that moment and the things around it.
When Mikke did the interview w the first queuer, H just stood behind the glass door into the venue and started miming at us. Like not even properly in character? Help.
Gig
Jesus Belgian audiences proving once again we just Are like that. Refusing to goddamn shut up. Every time. Man disallowed to banter by loud belgian screaming. He seemed so touched though jesus christ time to cry
Got roasted for basically slut dropping and shooting my Häärijä sign up in the air before Mic Mac. "yes that mean fucking häärijä" local man fed up w my antics.
Got roasted AGAIN straight after Mic Mac because I was the person he pointed at during the "this is your home now" bit. (promptly decided diving behind the barrier and Face In Hands was the best reply)
Mild bit before the 2nd Cha Cha Cha as I was the front row person he called out for not sitting down. Just yelled that I got bad knees and I'm not sure anyone caught his reply properly 😂
Overall 10/10 excellent gig what the HELL. The belly flop on the balloon, the whole banter before paidaton bc so much of the queue ppl I was with took their shirt off, the way we refused to kept chanting, him trying to eat the bubbles, him talking about Hs dick and the whole balls convo??
Post Gig
Had to pick up merch for a few people, so went with the hope of a third Häärijä hug. He eventually got a bit held up outside of merch by people (lit at the door into the merch room) and I got to just "Sorry it's me again" but he just instantly hug. We talked a little about the gig (did I like it, how I was doing) and like K feeling much better/doing better ft. some dumb crap.
Merch was in fact gotten after I just LOST my friends bc of H.
CANNOT wait for London. and Glasgow but thats with normal people. Like met so many fun people in the queue who are going to be at London jesus christ. Party time.

Dear Doctor | Chapter 3: Appearances
Tumblr media
Summary: Shalnark suffered a small injury while investigating some things for the Gen'ei Ryodan, his intention was that a doctor would cure him and nothing else, unfortunately that doctor was you and what you least expected is that one of the most wanted criminals in the world would end up becoming obsessed with you.
Pairing: Shalnark X F.Reader
Warnings: Stalking, theft of clothes, mention of male masturbation, harassment, installation of cameras and non-consensual recording
Author’s note: I always mention it in all my writings in English, but better safe than sorry, English is not my native language so it is very likely to find many mistakes and also that I know practically nothing about writing “X character and Y/N”
I am not a doctor so I will say my life excuse for everything, “I am a social science student”, so if something is wrong I apologize
Sites: AO3
Tumblr media
When you got home and started rummaging through your things, you realized that the clothes you had worn in the hospital were missing, your first thought was that someone had stolen them, with all your heart you wished that it had been some nurse who didn't like you and not a pervert, you would hate that too much, the only thing was vomiting.
You preferred to stop thinking about it, telling yourself to finish some of your earrings before going to sleep, out of nowhere for some reason you thought of Shalnark, of that nice and sweet boy you had seen a few days ago, you liked to think of seeing him again, after all, he looked like a good person incapable of doing anything bad.
It was impossible for it to cross your mind to associate the disappearance of your clothes and that boy with such an angelic expression and behavior, although... really, the least thoughtful idea was the closest to reality.
You lay in your bed and the night passed quickly, from one moment to the next you were on your way to your doctor's office again, when you arrived a smile formed on your face.
"Shalnark?" You asked with a sweet and kind voice.
Shalnark reacted somewhat nervously, he was so focused installing the camera in your office that he didn't notice when you entered.
“Doctor!” He turned to you with an innocent and bright smile as usual.
It was probably because of how clueless you were and the good opinion you had of him, any normal person would have perceived the great love and obsession present in those turquoise eyes that remained fixed on your person.
"Did you come here to get your stitches removed?" You asked leaving your things in your locker without looking at him
“Exactly, but now I'm going to pay for it” Shalnark replied while hiding the tools he had used to install the surveillance camera.
“No, no” You refused, turning to him “Don't worry about that”
Shalnark sighed at your kindness, resigning himself and melting, resisting the urge to squeeze you in his arms, cover you with kisses and other less decent things.
Finally, he sat on the stretcher waiting for your care, seeing something funny how you had another uniform and knowing why.
"Did you change uniforms?" He asked innocently.
You approached him, leaving the medicine cabinet next to him and you looked at him.
"No, I just... I lost my uniform" You said embarrassed starting to lift the suture knots with a pair of tweezers
"Oh! What a tragedy! Are they very expensive?”
“It's not because it's expensive...”
“So?”
You sighed cutting the suture and pulling gently.
"Well... I hope it's just lying somewhere and that's it... imagine some kind of pervert has it..." Your tone of concern was evident
"Oh... I hope it's not that" Shalnark tried to encourage you with false empathy while you covered the wound to keep it dry "How many perverts are there on the streets... they always do disgusting things..."
You soon felt how he held your hand when you finished, for you there was no nobler gesture than that, you looked at him with such affection and warmth, for you he was like an angel, someone sweet, a kind and respectful man.
Shalnark almost felt bad seeing your look, your lovely sparkling eyes, almost felt guilty for being the one who stole your clothes and had spent the last few days masturbating while he smelled it.
"Thank you very much, doctor" Shalnark said, getting off the stretcher.
“You're welcome, come here more often, it's nice to see you” You proposed with a slight blush on your face, turning around to put away the first-aid kit
"Of course, doctor!” Shalnark accepted instantly, it was impossible for him to hide his blush and his joy, so he was infinitely grateful that you had turned around
It was almost adorable, at first glance you could only see a boy in love, no one would suspect that behind that angelic appearance was hiding a member of the Gen'ei Ryodan, a thief and serial killer, the man who had you as his goal, who planned to catch you sooner or later and never let you escape.
Unfortunately, Shalnark could not last long by your side, he had to leave because the rest of your patients began to arrive, however, he had many reasons to be happy.
He was able to speak, see and touch his beautiful and perfect doctor, he still felt the sensation of your fingers on his arm, the memory of your hand under his and the tone of your voice was continually drilling into his mind.
And even better… he had finished installing the last camera he had pending.

Thank you so much for reading my shit 🖤

˗ˏˋ hello again, dear reader ˎˊ˗   Here is my new series :3
Tumblr media
Chapter One
masterlist | Next Chapter 2  | ao3
Pairings: Satoru Gojo x afab!reader x Suguru Geto
A/N: hehehe I am so excited for this one. I've already written 20k words and are planning on posting once a week. I usually write these for myself and will almost always make the reader afab, however, I am always open to requests and can write for any gender. As always, thanks for reading my brain rot :3
Summary: Years had passed since you last saw him—the formidable sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, with his innate six eyes, your old classmate, and first love. When Suguru Geto decided to part ways with Jujutsu High and abandon sorcery altogether, you went with him, both of you unintentionally breaking Satoru's heart. Now, after years and years, your heart aches as Suguru, your now lover, succumbs to the ancient curse of Kenjaku. Suguru—no—Kenjaku threatens to kill Suguru inside of his own mind if you do not confront your once-beloved Satoru Gojo, killing him to bring balance back to the world of curses.
Warnings: (current, may change throughout the story) **Possible Anime/Manga spoilers throughout** PSTD, Death, depression, angst, possessiveness, jealousy, uneven power dynamics (obviously because Gojo is the strongest), eventual lemon/smut, slowburn, right person wrong time, friends to lovers to enemies to lovers again, touch starved, unprotected first time, virgin!reader, virgin!gojo, betrayal, possible pregnancy (undecided but will make it cute, not annoying), fuckboy!gojo, kind of poly!reader (she loves them both at the same time), gore/blood/violence scenes that will be graphic

Monday, July 9th 2018
“Do you want to go see Human Earthworm 3?” Mahito annoyingly leans into your shoulder hoping that Suguru won’t see him pestering you. You roll your eyes internally and move your head to the left a little now that Mahito is blocking all the sunlight. He sits in the beach chair next to you after he realizes you’re not going to answer him. “Oh c’mon, Geto has you on such a tight leash it’ll be fun.” He says this in a sing-song voice hoping to get you on-board. 
You scoff and try to ignore his childlike teasing and pull your sunglasses down from the top of your head to block your eyes from Mahito in hopes of getting him to leave you alone. 
“No one will even see me so it’ll be like you’re seeing the movie alone. No need to be embarrassed.” He adds hoping this would somehow change your mind. Ugh, he was so aggravating.  You remember when Suguru introduced you to Mahito, the patch-faced, human-like curse. You initially thought he was cute until he opened his mouth. Nothing has changed since then, he’s just gotten more and more under your skin. 
“Enough Mahito,” Suguru interjects and is suddenly standing over the two of you with his arms crossed. His voice made it seem like he was unbothered by the situation entirely but his body language read a little differently. Mahito slumps back into the beach chair with a clear frown plastered across his face. “Y/N, can you come with me please.” He doesn’t look at you when he says this. Instead, he turns on his heel and walks towards the floating door in the middle of the sand. You were in Dagon’s beach domain. It was mostly relaxing and this was where most of you spent your time in hiding these days. 
“What is it?” You ask as the two of you approach the door. You avoid his blatant eye contact. Lately, you’ve been having a really hard time looking at the man you love because that's just it; He isn’t the man you love, well, not anymore. One day last year he came back from a “mission” extremely injured with stitches across his head. He said that he was no longer Suguru Geto but instead a man by the name of Kenjaku. At first, you thought that the injury on his head made him lose his memory but soon you realized he had been possessed by a curse that you had no idea how to exorcise. He stopped touching you and acted like he barely knew who you were and became very serious-natured. Suguru was never this cold. He tried to imitate his love for you but you knew better. It was all a facade. After all, he had told you the truth, that man was no longer Suguru Geto. You weren’t sure if you were supposed to mourn him or save him. You chose the latter and never gave up hope that one day you would get him back. You knew he was still in there, somewhere. Until then, you would do whatever he wanted you to do. It was like you were his slave. You would cry yourself to sleep at night almost every night since. Your Suguru was no longer there to hold you close, to tell you how much he loved you, to have you by his side. You were no longer of importance to him.
Only once had you attempted to exorcise him. That was the day you almost died. He was too strong and you got the only evidence you needed that he was still in there, trapped inside his own body. His body betrayed Kenjaku and didn’t allow him to hurt you anymore. Suguru had stopped himself from killing you. 
“There is something I need from you.” He shuffles his hands awkwardly. Seeing him come off so confident is weird, although his body language betrays him whenever he speaks to you. In the beginning, it was tough to watch but now, you're just numb to it. God, you wish he’d just get on with it so this conversation could be over. It still hurts and you feel your tears threaten to spill. Now all your relationship was was transactions. You stayed close because you loved him and he took advantage of that. “I need you to kill Satoru Gojo.” Your heart sinks at his request. You had secretly hoped that Kenjaku wouldn’t find out who Satoru was or who he was to you and Suguru but several months ago Kenjaku had devised a plan to trap Satoru. That plan you could live with but this? Satoru’s name still sounded foreign on his pseudo-Suguru’s tongue. Your mind flashes to Satoru’s ocean-blue eyes and his cocky but warm smile. How could he say that about his best friend? Your best friend? He probably had this planned this whole time. You were being naive. It was probably because Satoru posed a serious threat to him. How could you forget that Satoru was the strongest Sorceror? You couldn’t, but instead, you just wished he wasn’t.
“I thought we planned to trap him in the prison realm, that’s what you said!” Your voice betrays you now and you’re not trying to shout but you are. You’re upset and visibly so, why is he saying all of this?
“We’re not certain the prison realm will be enough to hold Satoru Gojo, after all, he is the strongest.” He laughs and you just scoff at his words in disbelief. If Suguru heard himself say this he would be so heartbroken. It had been years since you saw him, the strongest sorcerer, the man who held the innate gift of the six eyes, your old classmate, your first love, Satoru Gojo. Almost ten years to be exact. He would be almost 30 now. So much has changed since then. You wondered if he remembered you and if he thought of you as much as you thought of him.
“I can’t. I won’t-” your voice cracks, “-do that.” The tears from earlier start to spill now. You had hoped that running away with Suguru to follow his dream would mean that you would never have to see Satoru again. You were fine with that but this, you weren’t fine with. Your heart would never allow you to kill Satoru Gojo. You weren’t even sure why Suguru was so confident that you could. Maybe because it wasn’t a request from Suguru…
“Yes, you will. If you have any hope of seeing Suguru Geto again you will.” Your eyes flick up to his forehead where you look at him through wet lashes. You look at the stitches that hold his skull together with haste. He’s still in there and you just wanted him back. “You’re the only one out of all of us that has the best chance of getting close to him. After all, he once loved you. Didn’t he?” Your cheeks burn and your stomach drops at his words. You feel like you’re going to be sick. If you were being honest with yourself, you didn’t know if he once loved you or not. “Even if you don’t kill him, you’re able to get close and weaken him, then we can trap him.”
“Fine.” You wipe the single tear from your cheek and turn to walk away but before you can Kenjaku reaches for your arm and grabs a hold of your wrist tightly making you wince.
“I think you should go with Mahito. It could give you a chance to scope out Satoru’s whereabouts. I hear he has a few students of his own now.” His voice is deep and low making you curious as to why he was whispering. Is this because he doesn’t have faith in the little curses he keeps around him? Are you the only person completely loyal to him? Maybe, you thought. Then your mind wanders to Satoru. You wonder if he’s gotten any taller, his hair any longer, or if he is the same old Satoru. Your lips turn upwards slightly at the thought of his laugh as you leave Suguru and make your way over to Mahito.
“Come on patch-face. We’re going to see your movie.” You throw a towel at him and roll your eyes at the excited face he makes. He reminds you so much of a child and sometimes you don’t know why you can’t stand him. 
Later in the day
You arrived at the movie theater and bought one ticket for Human Earthworm 3. Mahito stood next to you eager to get into the theater. There were only a few other people in the theater, a few boys sitting by the front and a lone teenage boy. Good thing you didn’t care about the movie all that much because the boys up front would not shut up. The lone boy sitting at the top left of the theater wore a purple shirt and his dark hair fell over his face. He looked sad but you tried not to think anything of it. 
“Should I shut them up?” Mahito leaned over to whisper in your ear. His words were laced with evil and you could hear the smile across his lips. You shiver at his words but try to play it off.
“If you want, I don’t care.” You wave him off with an annoyed sigh. The boy in purple looked up at you and you imagined he thought you were crazy for talking to yourself. Whatever. You had gone through your wallet during the movie and found your old jujutsu high ID card. Yep, just as you thought you were once a grade-one sorcerer. You flip over your ID and run your fingertips over the scratched-up surface. There was a smiley face drawn in Sharpie that was slightly smudged. That’s right, Satoru drew this. You smiled sweetly to yourself at the memory. He was so annoying back then but you adored him and his goofy self. He was somehow always so cocky. He was beautiful though, he was tall and hadn’t completely grown into his height yet. You remember his messy white hair and his angelic blue eyes. You even remember him stealing your ID card and holding it above your head so you couldn’t reach it. He always made it a point to joke with you about being short. He was always so playful with you. 
Your mind wanders to something darker as you hold the plastic between your two fingers. Were you really going to have to kill him to bring Suguru back? What if he could help you instead? Did he even still care about you or Suguru enough to do that? This all felt so heavy. Were you even going to be able to kill him if he said no? Kenjaku seemed to think you could. Yes, you were once a very strong sorcerer and if you had to guess you’re probably well past a special grade now but that just means he is too. Even back then Satoru was the strongest, he was a special grade even then. You sigh to yourself. You try to remind yourself that you were the descendant of one of the strongest sorcerers in history. You were part of the Kashimo clan, your great-great-great grandfather was titled the god of lightning. You tried to talk yourself into feeling stronger but it wasn’t helping. The truth is Satoru would kill you in an instant if he wanted to. Maybe because you deserved it and wouldn’t fight back or maybe just because you were weak.
Before you knew it Mahito was bored. He no longer had any interest in the movie and you were snapped out of whatever trance you were just in. He stood up and started walking to the exit but not before completely transmuting all three of the boys who were talking during the entire movie. You roll your eyes and follow him out stuffing your ID card back into your wallet and then into your purse. Such a drama queen.
As you’re walking back to the building where your hideout was you hear someone call out to you. You consider ignoring it but then he yells out, “Hey, you, patch-face with the lady!” Suddenly your eyes widen as you turn around to face the same sad boy from earlier—the one who wore purple and had one side of his face covered by his dark hair.
“Y-you can see him?” You blurt out pointing at Mahito, not even acknowledging that he was going to say something first.
“Yeah, and I also saw what he did to them.” He steps back a little, losing the confidence he just had. He seemed sweet and you knew he wasn’t at all a real threat. Suddenly he seemed sweaty and scared. 
“What, were they your friends or something?” Mahito interjects and you allow him to speak to the poor boy. You feel a small drop of water fall on your face and when you look up you notice it's starting to rain. You pull your hood over your head and lean against a wall under an air conditioning unit so you don’t get wet.
“Can I..” he hesitates, “Do that too?” The boy asks while staring down at his feet. There seems to be something troubling him for him to be asking dangerous strangers for help.
“Come on, I’ll show you.” Mahito grins creepily and that was your queue to leave. You didn’t care to listen to him go on and on about curses when he just learned about it not too long ago himself. After all, he was a new curse.
“You two go on without me. Suguru will want to hear about this.” You share one last look at Mahito and the boy before drifting back into the shadows of the alleyway to make your way back to the hideout. 
The next day 
Mahito tells you that the boy's name is Junpei. He can see and manipulate cursed energy and Mahito has taken it upon himself to personally “train” the boy. You’re slightly annoyed but just happy that Mahito won't be bothering you as much anymore. You tell him to be nice to the boy and that if he hurt him in any way, you’ll kill him. You can’t help it, something about him reminded you of a younger Suguru and it warmed your heart. 
Suguru on the other hand didn’t care as much as you thought he would. He was more disappointed to see that you had returned with no news on Satoru’s whereabouts. You promised to go back out today and see what you could find out. You met up with Mahito who happened to be spying on Junpei. Apparently, Junpei had crossed paths with The king of curses, Sukuna’s vessel, Yuji Itadori, a young boy with bright pink hair and a red hood attached to his Jujutsu High uniform. You could feel just how powerful his cursed energy was from a mile back. His aura sent chills down your spine. Everything about Sukuna freaks you out. You’ve only ever heard stories about him as you and Suguru spent a couple of years searching for his twenty fingers. You also remember that your great-great-great grandfather made it his dying wish that one day he would get to fight Sukuna. You guessed that never happened since your grandfather was the one 6 feet under. 
“He told him about us,” Mahito says while playing with the ends of his hair and swinging his feet out beneath him. He was sitting on a park tree near where Junpei and Itadori were talking but was careful to be out of sight.
“What do you mean?” You weren’t following what he was saying.
“Junpei told Itadori that he saw us yesterday and described what we looked like. Should we go ahead and kill him to preserve Geto’s plan?”
“No, that would just stir the pot. Maybe this could work in our favor. We got word from Jogo that Sukuna’s vessel was one of Satoru-I mean- Gojo’s students, right?” Now Mahito was the one not following. His face is full of confusion. You flick him in the forehead, “That means that Gojo will come to us stupid. Now we won't have to find him. He isn’t going to send his weaker sorcerers to fight us knowing that we’re multiple special grades.” 
“Oh, right!” Mahito smiles and turns to face Junpei once more. “I also fought a blonde sorcerer yesterday! Even more the reason to come.” Mahito sings as he continues to swing his feet humming a tune. 
Your heart drops. A blonde sorcerer? Could it be? 
“Mahito… this blonde sorcerer…” you start but your voice gets stuck in your throat. “Did you kill him?” Your throat suddenly felt like pins and needles.
“The businessman? No, it was a pretty even match actually and we had to draw.” 
Nanamin.. Of course, it was him. You anxiously ran your fingers through your hair. Thank god, he’s still alive. You tried to keep tabs on most of your other old classmates, except Satoru. You thought Nanami quit being a sorcerer but maybe your intel was wrong. 
“Please don’t hurt him.” You turn toward Mahito practically begging. 
“I never thought I’d hear you say that Y/N! Wow, you are a softy arentcha? Well, either way, I do what I want.” Mahito gets close to your face and smiles. You had about enough of him and were this close to exorcising him right then and there when you noticed Itadori and Junpei leaving. Killing Kenjaku’s favorite curse would have to wait. The two of you continued to follow Itadori and Junpei.
Later that day 
You had devised a plan. You overheard Kenjaku and Mahito talking, they were going to use Junpei to create a diversion to see how much control Itadori had over Sukuna, or best case scenario, they were planning on getting control over Sukuna’s vessel themselves. 
The whole plan made you sick. Poor Junpei. You knew what you had to do. You had to be there in the shadows to protect Junpei and to leave with Satoru, however you needed to. This was your only hope of saving Suguru. 
When you weren’t sleeping in Dagon’s domain, you were in a room over at the motel you were all staying at. You used to share this room with Suguru and you just couldn’t be alone in there anymore, it was too much. You began packing a few of your things when you heard someone knock on your door softly.
“Come in.” You call out to them. 
The door opens and when you look up you see Mimiko, her long brunette hair laying at her shoulders and her body language makes it seem like she has been tiptoeing around Kenjaku herself. You can’t believe how much she has grown since you and Suguru found her and her twin sister years ago. For a long time, you all felt like a family. You and Suguru even used to make sweet jokes about how Mimiko and Nanako were your daughters. You once asked Suguru if he thought if you had children together ironically you would also have twin daughters. He chuckled but you knew deep down he never wanted to bring more kids into the world. Sometimes you wish your relationship with him could’ve been different. You would’ve really loved just being about to go on dates and worry about paying rent with your normal careers. Maybe you both would’ve worked at Nanami’s office and made Fridays your movie nights and Tuesdays would be when you invited Shoko, Nanami, and Haibara over for Dinner. Satoru would come sometimes when he wasn’t busy with his new girl of the week. Sadly though, that was all just a dream; but maybe in another life, it wasn’t just a dream. 
“It’s just me.” You say and turn to continue packing with a straight face.
“Oh, okay,” she immediately relaxes. “Where are you going?”
You completely ignored her question, you didn’t want her to start getting worked up. “Where is Nanako, I want to say goodbye to the both of you.” 
“You’re leaving us? No! You can’t, please don’t leave us here with him.” Her voice cracks and it breaks your heart. They both have been through so much. 
You rush over to her to quickly stop her from crying. You lower your voice so that it is above a whisper while you gently rub her shoulder, “It’s okay, it’s not for good. I’m doing this for us Mimiko, I am going to get help so that we can get Suguru back.”
“Really?” She questions while sniffling. 
“Yes, but I need to hurry before he notices. Can you cover for me?” 
“Well, Nanako is with him…” 
“Where?” You say with slight irritation in your voice.
“Upstairs.”
You give her a big hug before making your way up the dirty motel staircase. Luckily, you see Nanako’s blonde hair coming around the corner and she is alone. You run up to her and give her a big hug as well. 
“I love you. Tell Mimiko I love her too. She’ll explain everything.” You don’t even give her a chance to ask any questions before taking off down the other side of the outside hallway. You try to be stealthy and quiet but you’re not quiet enough. Suddenly an arm reaches out to you, jolting you to a stop. It was him. His grip made you wince once more.
“And where are you going, Y/N?” He asks with a borderline sinister smile. You shudder as you go to look at him trying your hardest to pretend like everything is fine. 
“I’m going on your secret mission, remember? I just said goodbye to our daughters.” You hiss up at him. This time you look directly into his eyes so that he feels your anger. 
He didn’t seem to like this, he reached out and grabbed your throat to pull you closer to him. Your teeth clench together and cry out in pain. He’s not quite choking you but he’s holding you hard enough to leave bruises behind. 
“Good luck then.” He mutters in your ear. When he pulls away he places a small chaste kiss on your lips making your heart flutter a little. The entire interaction was giving you whiplash. You figured this was his way of saying ‘Don’t betray me or I’ll kill you’. He lets go of your throat and you cough trying to catch your breath.
You look at him with hate in your eyes one last time before turning and running down the motel stairs. You had one more stop to make for your grand plan to work. Mahito. 
The next day
You wake up the next day in a room unfamiliar to you. The night before you had left your motel and went to a hotel that was closer to Jujutsu High. You showered and put on a little bit of makeup. As you were getting dressed in your family's traditional attire you couldn’t help but feel nervous. Today you were going to see Satoru. What if he didn’t want to see you? Who were you kidding of course he didn’t. You would be lucky if he paid you any mind at all. But what if you had to fight him? Your heart was beating out of your chest as you put on your all-white haori. As you wrapped bandages around your fists and lower arms you breathed out deeply preparing for the worst. You pulled your hair back into two buns and grabbed your quarterstaff before leaving for the school. It had been a long time since you’d had to fight anyone let alone dress in your traditional attire.
You arrive at the school that you heard Mahito mention to Kenjaku the day before. It was the school where Junpei attended. You decided to keep your distance from the fight because you couldn’t give up your position or your plan. When you walk toward the back of the school you see the veil had already been lowered. This was Mahito’s viel which means Kenjaku wasn’t here. He most likely didn’t want to run into Satoru to raise any red flags about your arrival. When you entered the viel you hoped that Mahito had noticed your energy like you planned. You walked through the school and up the stairs. It was dead, where was everyone? There was glass all over the floors from the windows. They must’ve already started fighting. 
You turn the corner to where you thought you heard fighting and that's when you see him. Junpei. No, no, no, you were supposed to protect him. You were too late. Mahito had already gotten his hands on him and turned him into a transmuted beast. You clench your eyes shut as you walk past his body. Your heart sinks and your face twists in anger. Maybe the next part of your plan would be real then. Mahito of course will think you’re putting on a show for the sorcerors like you had planned.
When you walk over to the windowsill you see them. Sukuna’s vessel, Itadori and Nanami were fighting Mahito. Quite frankly, Mahito was getting his ass whooped. You wanted to see how this would play out but that's when you realized one of the most important parts of your plan. Satoru isn’t here. Where was he? Why did they only send Nanami? 
You take a deep breath. Okay, you had two choices. Bail or improvise. You chose the latter. 
With a war cry and your charged cursed energy, you jump from the window and land behind Itadori and Nanami. You tap into your rage and your hair starts emitting cursed lightning that bounces from each of your buns. Your eyes began glowing yellow and you lightly tap your quarterstaff on the ground causing the school courtyard to shake.
“MAHITO!” You scream at the top of your lungs, haste dripping from your tongue. Just as planned, Mahito would change direction and start fighting you. 
Both Itadori and Nanami look your way. Itadori is extremely confused about whether or not you’re also an enemy and when he starts to make his way toward you Nanami reaches his arm out to stop him. He looks back at Nanami and he simply shakes his head signaling him to trust him. 
Mahito then takes the opportunity to shape himself into a giant spiked beast and attempts to slice you where you stand. You jump over his additional spiked body parts and use one of his arms as leverage to jump across to the other side of the courtyard. He tries to hit you again and you redirect his hand using taijutsu and infuse your quarterstaff with cursed lightning and hit him directly in the chest. The impact makes him fly across the courtyard and he starts shaking from the electrical energy in the blast. Damn, you need to dial it back a bit if you want this to be believable. You turn toward Nanami and Itadori. Your eyes meet Nanami’s and your heart flutters in your chest, you haven’t seen him since his hair was long. He was so tall and cute and now he is a big, strong man. His blue dress shirt is snug across his chest and you’re just completely surprised by how much he's grown. His cheeks were much more defined and he was aging like wine. He still wore his signature frown.
Perfect moment to be distracted. Mahito takes the opportunity you give him and turns his arms into little spikes. He pierces the back of your thigh causing you to scream out in pain. What was he doing? This wasn’t the plan. You cry out as you feel two more spikes go through your gut. When he pulls them out you look down to see your all-white haori covered in blood, your blood. Well so much for dialing it back, you trusted Mahito enough to not kill you but maybe that was his plan all along. This fake fight was a ploy for him to kill you.
“Y/N!” Nanami yells out as he runs over to catch you before you fall. 
“N-na-namin” you respond breathlessly as you fall to your knees. There was blood pouring from your mouth. Nanami catches you and you hold your stomach as you shake in his arms. Did Kenjaku know your plan all along? Why would Mahito kill you? You felt yourself slipping out of consciousness and all you could think about was the fact that you wouldn’t get to see Satoru after all. Maybe this was for the best. If you can’t be with Suguru you don’t care whether you lived or died. 
As your eyes start to close you can feel Nanami squeeze you tighter as he hugs you against his chest. You hear Itadori yell out that Mahito is getting away and Nanami tells him to let him go, and that it wasn’t worth it. Then you hear Itadori ask if Nanami knew who you were to which he replied, “Yes, I know her well.” 
---
Two days later
You wake up to the smell of cigarettes and hear muffled talking in the background. When you sit up frantically in shock you see that you are handcuffed to the bed. You begin to panic, your charged cursed energy threatening to spill out until you realize that you recognize where you are. You’re in the medical office at Jujutsu High. You’ve been here for many injuries, most of which were self-inflicted from your training with Satoru. Damn, his stupid infinity, your attacks would almost always bounce back causing you to get hurt. When you look down you see your thigh wrapped in bandages as well as your lower abdomen. 
“That special grade curse got you pretty good.” You scoff at the statement that Mahito was a special grade curse. Screw him. But wait, you know that voice, that sweet voice coated with years of cigarettes and liquor.
“Shoko?” You yell out whipping your head back and forth to search for her.
“Hey squirt, it’s me don’t get all frizzy on me now.” She wheels her chair over to your bed and stands to take your temperature while simultaneously rubbing your head trying to stir up your electrical cursed energy. That’s right, she always called you that because you were a little younger and a little shorter than her. She also loved annoying you by making your hair frizzy. You didn’t even care that she was making your hair a mess, a huge smile was plastered across your face. She looks much older, you bet it's from her bad smoking and drinking habits. She’s still beautiful though, just has dark circles under her eyes and her hair is much much longer. She’s still the same Shoko. God how you missed her. 
“Why am I chained to the bed?” You ask but you already know the answer to that question. 
“You know why squirt…” Her face drops and she wheels away from your bed now. 
“Well, what happens now? Am I to be executed now that I am in the school's possession again?” You ask with a small laugh but deep down you have a genuine concern that that might be the case, this was one of the reasons you never came back after deserting the school with Suguru. 
“You know there are very strong people here that would never allow that to happen.”
Was she talking about Satoru? She had to be. Unless someone else from your class sprouted up and became strong enough to overpower those in charge. You decide to assume she’s talking about Satoru.
“I’m not so sure about that. Last time I saw him he seemed perfectly okay with the idea of me dying.” Your voice gets quiet as you say this, it’s as if the wound is still fresh. You don’t allow her to say anything to that, “Anyways, where is he?”
“He got back yesterday, as soon as he heard you were here.” Suddenly there are butterflies in your stomach. You thought you were going to die at Mahito’s hand but it seems he missed all of your vitals. So you get to see Satoru after all. Why were you suddenly so nervous?
Without warning, the big metal door to the facility opens and you see Shoko stand to greet whoever it is. Part of you hoped it was Satoru and the other part of you was scared shitless. 
“Y/N.” A stern male’s voice states your name causing you to jump a little.
Your eyes start watering, “Nanamin?” You turn your head to see him walking over to you. 
“You know I hate when you call me that.” Nanami gets closer to your bed and unlocks your handcuffs freeing you. You giggle at his defensiveness, it’s good to see he hasn’t gotten any more expressive with his emotions. You jump into his arms and hug him. He is reluctant to return your hug but he ultimately does. You’ve missed him so so much. 
“Why are you freeing me?” You step back and rub your wrists looking down to see they’re starting to bruise. When you reach up you feel a bandage around your neck too. You look at Shoko confused until you remember the moment you had with Kenjaku before you left. You rub the bandage gently reminding you of why you’re here. He had hurt you. You want Suguru back.
“We have some questions.” He reaches around your back and puts new handcuffs around your wrists. He is gentle with his movements though so that he doesn’t hurt you. You sigh, just when you thought you were free. You understood why though, it was going to take a lot of work for anyone here to trust you again. Nanami walks you down the hall to Principal Gakugangi’s office. Memories of this hallway flood your brain. You remember the time you, Satoru, and Suguru raced down this hallway. Of course, Satoru won because he had the longest legs.
You’re brought to a room next to the principal’s office that has a chair seated at the front of the room directly under multiple TV screens. Across from that, there were a bunch of seats that were set up auditorium style. All of your old teachers and classmates were already seated, all except Satoru. You started to explain to ex-principal Yaga and principal Gakuganji why you were there. It was as if you were reading from a script. It was the story you fabricated to get here, although most of it was true. You told Shoko, Nanami, Utahime, Mei-Mei, Gakuganji and Yaga. You wished Satoru was here to listen but you figured there was a reason he wasn’t. You went on about how after you left Jujutsu High years and years ago with Suguru he was possessed by Kenjaku and forced you to work for him. You lied and told them how you heard that Mahito could transmute souls and that you went looking for him to help touch Suguru’s soul to kill Kenjaku inside of him. Everything in your story came together so perfectly, you mentioned how you were fighting Mahito at the school because he had betrayed you and told Suguru your plan and was ultimately trying to kill you. This explained why Itadori told them Junpei saw you at the movies with Mahito and why you were trying to kill him afterward. 
Finally, Utahime spoke up and asked, “Why did you never come back to us, Y/N?” She sounded so dejected as she said this. You were starting to regret coming back at all, it was already stirring up way too many old emotions that you thought you tucked away years ago.
This question hit harder than you expected it to. Your chest started to feel tight. You held your wrists together to wipe your face of the tears that were now spilling out on their own. Bending forward you rest your head in your arms before continuing, “I wanted to come back, trust me I did!” You pause and look at all your old friends sitting on the edge of their seats listening to you with such care in their eyes. “I was scared because of the death penalty and also I wanted to protect you guys the best I could from Suguru, h-he was not himself.” You sniffle and stare down at your bound hands, you internally debate saying this last part but they deserve to know, “a-and, I loved him.” You hesitantly correct yourself, “I do love him.” You’re suddenly brought back to the first few years together with Suguru after you both had abandoned Jujutsu High. You were severely depressed and would cry almost every night to Suguru about how you missed everyone at Jujutsu High and how you wanted to go back. He would comfort you but couldn’t understand your reasoning. He didn’t ask you to follow him and he never really understood why you did. He did, however, reassure you of his love whenever you need it. You don’t think he ever felt sad about his past which allowed him to pour himself into both you and his purpose. 
You watch as everyone’s eyes quickly dart toward the door behind you. When you look over your shoulder with puffy eyes you see what they were looking at. You finally see him. The strongest sorcerer, the man who held the innate gift of the six eyes, your old classmate, your first love, Satoru Gojo. He is, where do you even begin? If your heart wasn’t hurting so bad you could probably talk about how he was taller than the door frame for hours. His hair was slightly longer than you remember and still as white as snow. It sat perfectly on top of his head with a black blindfold that covered his beautiful blue eyes that had been burned into your memory for years. He upgraded from the little black sunglasses you used to steal from him. His lips looked as soft as you remember and when you look down you see his arms crossed over his chest. His arms look so much bigger now that he has grown into his lanky self. He looks strong and his hands are huge. You can’t even focus, the room was spinning and your heart was beating out of your chest. How embarrassing. No one said a thing. You hated that you couldn’t see his eyes. You knew him though, more than probably anyone else in the room. Your presence made him uneasy and nervous just as much as yours did his. He continued to stare at you through his blindfold. Everyone fell into an unbearable silence. It felt like you were swallowing nails every time you took a breath. You wanted him to scream or yell at you, you wanted him to do something other than what he was doing. Your eyes were begging him to take you away from all the eyes in the room so that you could talk one-on-one, but he wouldn’t do that. Not anymore. You wanted to know if he still cared at all if he even missed you.
“I thought I told you not to get distracted in a fight,” Satoru speaks in a calm voice but his posture stiffens against the door as he speaks.
You open your mouth to reply but instead, Principal Yaga interjects and stands before you causing you to turn your attention to him. You just wanted to be anywhere but here. You were now very unsure about whether or not Satoru would allow the higher-ups to kill you or not. Suddenly you feel very small and weak.
“The Kyoto sister school exchange event is about to begin,” he gruffs in annoyance and points to the TVs above your head. “We’re done for today. Gojo, she is your responsibility, put her in the talisman room until we figure out what to do with her.” 
Your head shifts from Principal Yaga to Satoru, suddenly very nervous. The talisman room is where sorcerers bring special-grade human-like curses, “evil” sorcerers, or anyone who poses a threat to the sorcerer world. It was like a holding cell that drained all your cursed energy. It was where the school put those who were on death row. You freeze in your chair when you see Nanami coming over to drag you out of the room.
“N-Nanamin, please, no,” you beg, catching a sob in your throat. 
“I’m sorry, Y/N.” His eyes seem sincere but you knew he had no choice. He walks you over to Satoru who takes the chains on your wrist without saying a word. He is neither gentle nor harsh in the way he leads you down the hall. A tense silence falls around you. This is the closest you’ve been to him in years and you just want things to go back to the way they were. You’re too scared to look at him so you stare at the ground rethinking this whole thing. Should you try to fight Satoru here and now? No, he’s too strong and the others would be behind him. Should you make a break for it and run back to Suguru? No. You stop abruptly causing Satoru’s infinity to hit you causing you to lose your balance. He had his infinity up around you? This was ultimately a test to see if he still trusts you, even a little, but the answer was no. Your heart breaks, things are never going to be the same. Now that you are out of the sight of the others you turn to Satoru as much as your position allows, your last hope was talking to him.
“Satoru,” You hum his name, it coming out much sweeter than you meant for it to. “Please, l-listen to me.” You look up at him and try to ignore how he towers over you. He tilts his head down at you. You’re still unable to see his eyes so you just assume he’s looking at you. “I-I know you don’t trust me anymore…” Your voice wavers as you say this. “But, you’re in danger. Please list-” 
“’m the strongest.” His voice is gruff and cold as he cuts you off. It’s his way of saying ‘Shut up, no I’m not’. 
You start pulling your arms away from him to get him to understand how serious this is. He eventually gives way and you’re now facing him with your hands behind your back. He cockily puts his hands in his pocket allowing you to continue talking. He is straight-faced and almost looks bored. Oh, how you wished you could see his signature Satoru Gojo smile. 
“Suguru has been possessed by a very strong cursed spirit who has lived many lifetimes. He is planning on sealing you away!” Your voice strains as you try to plead with him. 
“Suguru is dead,” His voice is still just as monotone as before. “I should know, I’m the one who killed him.” 
First, your heart drops. Then your eyes widen and your muscles tense up. “What?” You grumble through gritted teeth as you slowly blink up at him as your mind tries to wrap around what he just said. The electric cursed energy you possess begins to flow through you in anger. You can feel the static electricity start to form between the two buns in your hair, like a radio frequency. Your hair begins to float from the friction. Suddenly your arms are free from their shackles. You must’ve tensed up so much that your strength snapped them off.
“That was you?” You say with furrowed brows as your feet naturally start to take a fighting pose. You remember when Kenjaku came back in Suguru’s place that day and explained that he found his body ‘without a host’, aka dead. You didn’t believe it, you never did. Who could’ve possibly killed him? Whoever it was had to be strong, you never guessed it would be Satoru. He was his best friend. And Suguru was still in there. He had to be.
“You know I had to do it. Don’t start this Y/N, you know I’d win.” His hands were still in his pockets and now he was just getting on your nerves. You hated that the first time you heard him say your name again was under these circumstances. 
“You’re just going to have to kill me too,” Your tears stop and you reach your arm out to summon your quarterstaff using your cursed wavelength, after a moment it shatters a window and is in your grip, “Gojo.” You twirl your staff around your head and tap it on the ground making the rest of the windows in the hall shatter. You revert to his last name and for a split second, you think you see him release a pained breath but you no longer care. There was no going back for either of you. You were now enemies. 
You run at him at full speed while building up your cursed energy in your staff. You had no idea how you were going to get him to turn off his infinity but you were okay with it ending here. There was something so beautiful about dying at Satoru’s hand. As soon as you’re close enough, you jump above him and hit right where his head would be. You can see your attack absorbed by his infinity. However, the floor and the wall behind him weren’t as lucky. They both take a huge hit and crumble away. Why wasn’t he fighting back? Why wasn’t he killing you?
Attack after attack after attack, he just allows you to come at him. You’re extremely angry and you feel like you’re going to explode. You throw your quarterstaff at the wall frustrated and instead walk up to him preparing to try hand-to-hand combat. Your lips are trembling now, you’re a sobbing mess. He finally pulls his hands out of his pockets as you incessantly pound on his infinity until you feel it slowly dwindle. Then your arms make contact with his chest. Tears run down your cheeks as your arms feel his heartbeat where they are resting against him  It even annoyed you that his heartbeat came out slower and calmer than yours. Who were you kidding, you didn’t pose a threat to him at all. You may be a special-grade sorcerer but your weakness was him, and maybe you were his too. You fall into him completely exhausted from over-exerting yourself. He allows your forehead to rest on his heart completely swallowed by sadness. You finally gave in and cried your heart out into his chest. He then slowly reaches up to grab your arms, his touch is hesitant but still gentle. It’s almost like he doesn’t want to touch you but does so anyway. He ever so slightly rubs his thumb across your wrist making you raise your head to look at him. Your eyes were wet, your lips were red, and your hair messily fell around your face. You still couldn’t see his eyes, those beautiful eyes, and that stupid blindfold.
“He’s not dead. He can’t be.” You plead again, not even sure what you’re expecting from him anymore. “I-I love him, Satoru.” You can’t believe you’re sitting here telling him this, crying into his chest like you once did what felt like lifetimes ago now,  “I know you once loved him too, he was your best friend. Please, plea-” 
He brings his hand up to your cheek and caresses it softly before bringing his two forefingers up to your forehead and gently draining you of all your energy, ultimately putting you to sleep. Your eyes roll back in your head and you fall limp into his arms. Satoru leans down to pick you up bridal style before walking over to your quarterstaff and picking it up in one swift motion. You were so light in his arms. Your head lulls on his chest as he carries you to the talisman room. Your hair was completely out of place and your lips were slightly parted as if this was the most comfortable sleep you had gotten in a while. He can't help but stare at you through his blindfold as his chest tightens with emotion. You were the same girl he fell in love with years ago, you just matured and there was a certain confidence in the way you carried yourself that you didn’t do before. Your hair was much longer and your cheeks had thinned out a bit with age. It was so strange seeing you again, now his heart was starting to beat fast. He honestly never thought he’d see you again. When he ran into Suguru last year he was sure you would be with him, fighting alongside him… but you weren't. He had hoped that meant you ran away from it all and maybe even married a nice ordinary man, someone you wanted to marry, settled down, had a family like you always talked about, and abandoned sorcery altogether. But here you were not only before his very eyes but in his arms again, still tied up with his best friend and still tied up with jujutsu sorcery. He wondered what you had been through all this time away from him. He had tried to move on, he did. He’s been on plenty of dates with other women and he even tried pursuing both Utahime and Shoko, they were the closest thing he could get and it wasn’t close at all. Shoko knew he was trying to fill your void and she respected herself too much to give in to his motives. Utahime on the other hand liked him back and for a while, they tried dating but in the end, they just weren’t compatible. None of them were you, you hurt way too much. How was it fair that in the end, you chose Suguru? Did you not love him too? Did you just love him more? Why didn’t you stay?
Satoru was suddenly very thankful that you were asleep and that he had a blindfold on, his tears escaped anyway. 
He walked past his room with you in his arms. Part of him wanted to lay you on his bed in hopes that you would wake up and this would all just be a bad dream. You would be back in 2006 laying in his bed again but instead of thinking with his heart, he went with his head. He brought you to the talisman room, sat you in the chair in the center of the room, and left to return to watch the Kyoto Sister School Exchange event.

TOGETHER AS ONE ➵ F. CASTLE
Tumblr media
Summary: After the events of season 2, all Frank needs is some care and a hug, so you tend to his wounds and hold him tight.
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, description of physical trauma
Word count: 1k
Author’s note: I am really blown away by the attention my two other fics received and I’m definitely more inclined to keep posting here now :) I think I will post more PTSD-related works but for now, here’s this short-ish one about Frank receiving some love.
Ps. I’m totally up for receiving Frank requests!
The bathroom reeked of coppery blood and you wondered when exactly you had developed a stomach strong enough to avoid gagging at the smell, when exactly you had become immune to the horrors displayed all over your lover’s body. Well, physically, at least. Emotionally… you weren’t quite sure you’d ever get used to this.
You were both silent apart from pained grunts and huffs from Frank when you helped peel off his sweater, no longer black with all the dirt and blood it had gathered — barely even in one piece, with slashes all over his arms and back. You were seated behind him on the bathroom floor, gently tugging on the fabric until it was tossed near the door and you could assess the damage done to him.
You choked up, tried to swallow the lump in your throat while your shaky hands ghosted over the dozens of cuts, stabs and swelling bruises across his shoulders and back. You dreaded to even imagine his chest, but for now, you focused on what you could see. You so badly wanted to suggest a hospital, but considering he had barely managed to break out of one just days ago, you chose to say nothing. Some of the stitches that he had been equipped with still remained on the gashed skin, but for the most part, he had ripped open everything.
”Can hear you overthinkin’”, Frank murmured, his raspy voice filling the bathroom, and you tore your gaze away from the old scars mingling with what would surely turn into new ones. You looked at the back of his head, how he was hanging it low, almost like he was ashamed.
”I’m glad you’re here with me”, you whispered, not realizing just how close to losing him you had been. He didn’t say anything, but reached over his shoulder with one hand to grasp yours and squeeze it tightly.
You took in a deep breath and turned to reach for a handtowel before switching on the showerhead as lightly as you could, just enough to trickle water down Frank’s muscled, torn back. The droplets trailing down his spine quickly turned red, and you made sure to carefully press the towel against them before they could slide down the waistband of his jeans.
You cleaned him up, gentle and dedicated to not causing him any more pain, and he sat quietly, letting you take care of him. He wasn’t usually so good at accepting it, but after everything he had been through, he was just so goddamn tired. And after all, if there was anyone he trusted to look after him, it was you.
Evening turned into midnight quickly as you moved to step two: stitching the worst gashes up. His back looked like a piece of cross-stitch by the time you were done, and maybe, in a few days, you’d be able to joke about it. You did the same for his arms, and eventually, crawled around him so you could make sure his chest was okay, too. You could feel his eyes on you, burning through you as he watched you do your thing.
”Gotten good”, he noted quietly, licking his lips. ”’M sorry”, he added, wishing that you could have learned to stitch from your own volition and not because he kept coming home beaten to a pulp.
”Don’t apologize”, you were quick to cut him off, giving him a warm, genuine smile as you placed a hand on the back of his head and met his gaze. ”You look after me, I look after you. That’s just how this works, baby”, you promised, and unable to respond in any way, utterly amazed and grateful for everything that you were, Frank simply looked into your eyes until you asked him to move.
His jeans came off next, and with the heavy atmosphere, there was no sly comment or joke, only complete solemnity as he undressed in front of you. There was a nasty wound on the back of his thigh, and you didn’t think twice to disinfect it and do the same for everything else he couldn’t reach himself. Hell, even if he could have, he was entirely sucked out of all energy. Knowing him, he would have neglected the cuts for as long as he could.
Eventually, you climbed off of the floor, not quite meeting his height as you stood in front of him and placed a hand on his broad chest. ”All fixed up”, you smiled before nodding towards the bedroom, ”want me to get you something comfy to put on?”
Shaking his head, Frank took your hand and swallowed. ”Nah, just wanna get in bed. That alright?” he whispered, and unsure how you’d ever be able to reject him when he sounded so fragile, you simply nodded.
You led him into the bedroom and after switching your bloodied t-shirt into one of Frank’s old ones, you got under the covers and let the man twice your size get on top of you, his head resting on your belly and his arms around you. You wrapped yours around him, too, and gently caressed his hair, smoothing the unruly curls out and rubbing his scalp with your fingertips.
You didn’t realize he was crying until the tears came in contact with the revealed skin from under your tee, the exhaustion finally wearing him down. After facing off with Billy, evading the police time and time again, saying goodbye to Amy… he was just happy to be in bed with you, free to breathe and sleep.
His quiet cries got you to tear up, too, and you leaned down to press a kiss on the top of his head. ”I love you, Frank”, you whispered, ”you’ve earned your rest, okay?”
The squish he gave your sides was enough to decipher a thank you and an I love you all at once, and you smiled weakly.
”Dunno what I’d do without you”, he admitted.
You chuckled softly. ”Lucky for you, you’ll never have to find out”, you promised, continuing your gentle touches on his hair. ”I’m with you as long as you want me”, you added, and now, it was Frank’s turn to chuckle.
”Sweetheart, I ain’t ever lettin’ you go.”

Hey!! If it's okay for you, may I request something about elf&innocent!reader and Geralt? Like they know each other and meet often in Novigrad. She helps Geralt when he is injured and so on 🥺
Blossoms of Beggartick
A/N: Of course!! I hope this works for what you were thinking of because I absolutely loved writing this little ficlet!
Pairing: Geralt x Reader
Words: ~700
_______________________________
The day had felt like a sack of bricks on your mind, squishing all of your grey matter into one flat and exhausted pancake. You just couldn’t wait to get home so you could relax and unwind a bit. 
As an elf, you had made the hard decision to take some time away from your people and were currently taking courses at the Oxenfurt Academy. You were already well-practiced as a healer in the use of elvish medicines but had yet to fully delve into the ways that humans and other species used theirs. There was a lot of overlap between them all, so you were making your way through your classes without too much trouble, but the three-hour lectures were starting to wear on you. 
You crossed the bridge into Novigrad, bag slung over your shoulder, medical kid in hand, and made your way up the stairs to the balcony of your apartment. 
“Oh..?” you paused as you noticed the beggartick blossom tucked into the door frame and the droplets of blood leading up the steps from where you came. You knew it could only mean one thing. 
“Gwynbleidd?” you asked as you poked your head inside, excited to see him again after so long. 
“In here…” he mumbled from the other room, sounding tired and gruff. 
You set down your bag of books and brought your kit in towards the living room where you found Geralt sitting on the couch, holding a head wound that was still dripping blood- amongst other injuries. 
“Oh, Geralt… you’re bleeding all over my rug,” You said with a smile as you came over to look over his wounds, fingers wrapping around his wrist as you gently but firmly pulled his hand away. You rummaged your free hand around in your kit before finding what you needed and pressing a gauze against his forehead. 
He snorted, “Well that’s one way to say hello, I missed you too.” He said and rolled his eyes with a small smile playing on his lips. “It’s been a little longer than usual, how are you holding up?” 
You smiled and kneeled down to his level as you got to work fixing him up, your gentle and easy hands working over his already scarred and time-roughened skin. “It's good. I’m almost finished with my certificates actually.” You said with a proud smile as you handed him a mortar and pestle. “Would you crush this, please? Thank you. I actually finish this spring… but I’m thinking of sticking around for a while. How would you ever know where to find me otherwise?” You said with a bit of a playful scrunching of your nose as you spoke.
As Geralt crushed and helped you prepare what you needed, you began stitching up the wounds too deep to heal on their own properly. “You’re right on that. I’d be shit out of luck in Novigrad without you around.” 
“Language, my dear Witcher,” you warned and tied off a line of stitches, straight and concise just like you had practiced hundreds of times before. 
“Oh, ‘your dear Witcher’ am I..?” he teased, with a cheeky smile about him. You never understood the rumors of witchers having no emotions- dulled? Maybe. But you look at the smile he gives you now and you know the rumors can only be that. Rumors. 
“Not if you keep that up.” You said with a gentle swat to his arm before taking the mortar from him, ”Thank you for your help.” You slathered the poultice over his wounds before bandaging them up with care. “There you go, all fixed up,” you said with a warm smile and stood once again, wiping your hands on the front of your dress. 
“Really though…. I don't know what I would do here without you.” Geralt paused to say, his hand now wrapping around your wrist to make sure you stay beside him just a little longer.  
Your smile softened and grew even wider as your free hand came up to graze his cheek. “Then it's a good thing you’ll never have to worry about that, My dear Witcher. Now rest up for a bit and then maybe you can help me get to work on dinner?”
Geralt smiled an easy smile and nodded, hand loosening away from your wrist and lingering on your hand before fully dropping away. “Of course, my little elf….”

hi hello anne! i hope you're having a lovely thursday afternoon, i just returned from the post office and i am SCREAMING. your BEAUTIFUL art in my home, i am so honored. thank you so so much :)
anyways, im here to ask, how do you recommend to store/display/care for it? (is this a stupid question? i'm sorry if im being dumb lol i dont know what im doing lol but i want to keep it beautiful!)
okay done being annoying in your inbox im sorry you can take me to jail now lol
Rachel! I'm so happy it arrived!!
There's definitely no one way to display a cross stitch, but if you don't do anything with it and just leave it as is, the edges will start to fray, so it's probably a good idea to do something.
I washed and ironed the piece before I mailed it, but if it got wrinkled in transit, you can get it damp, flip it over, and iron the back of it on low to get the wrinkles out. You don't want to iron directly on the front of the stitches, so only iron the back side. The thread is color fast so you don't need to worry about getting it wet, it will be fine and the colors won't run.
As for how to display it, there are lots of different options. The way I usually go with for the ones I display is to just stick it in a frame. I think that's probably the best way to keep it protected and keep it from getting dirty. Usually I will also buy some adhesive mounting board like this. You can cut the mounting board to the size of the frame, stick the cross stitch on it and then pop it into the frame! That's what I did for all of these:
Tumblr media
I use variations on this technique for framing as I think it's the easiest, but there are actually lots of different ways people do it, just google "how to frame cross stitch" if you want some different options!
My other favorite way to finish a project for display is to have my aunt turn it into a pillow (I can cross stitch but I'm not great with a sewing machine, so I have to go to my aunt for this part). This is what she did with a Schitt's Creek project I finished a few years ago:
Tumblr media
There are other ways to finish a project for display, including sticking it in an embroidery hoop and covering the back (or not, that's not necessarily required if you don't mind the back showing). I did that for my cross stitch ornaments that I made for my Lone Star tree. I just put them in these little hoops and glued some felt onto the back.
Tumblr media
This youtube video shows a fairly simple way of doing this, and again there are a million different ways people do it, so you can google for different options!
Feel free to ask me any follow up questions or send me any and all messages because AS WE'VE ESTABLISHED, YOU ARE NOT ANNOYING!! 💜

I just feel you - part II
*Still listening to moon song because it’s the wolfwren anthem (to me)
Shins eyes open slowly and all she sees is a grey wall. Out of sleep, she forgets where she is, and for a moment she panics. She lifts herself up on her elbows, but everything sets into place when she feels a harsh pain in her abdomen. She lets out a deep, relieved sigh and looks to her side, seeing Sabine in a peaceful slumber. Shin thinks it might be late morning, but isn’t sure. It takes all of her energy to get out of the bed, especially since she has to crawl over Sabine. Once she stands, she holds most of her weight against the nearest wall, her other hand holding her wound. She lowers her head to see the damage, but it is already looking better. Their droid, Huyang, stitched her up and cleaned the wound thoroughly and neatly. Shin is silently grateful.
Shin wears a grey tank top and a pair of baggy pants she has never seen before. Her bare feet are cold on the metal floor. It makes her uneasy to think that maybe Sabine saw her undressed, but she tries to think of other things. She reaches for the door and exits the room, taking in the rest of the ship. Her attention is drawn away from the table raised in the middle of the room when she sees Huyang, who raises his robotic arms in surprise.
“You’re awake? How are you feeling?” The droid chirps. Shin glares at him, unsure. “Fine.” She replies. “Wonderful.” The droid says. “Where is the Jedi?” Shin asks, still glaring at the droid. “Lady Tano is outside with the Noti.”
Shin exits the ship, covering her eyes with one hand as the sun beams onto her. Her other hand still holds over her wound. She walks down the ramp and onto the grass, where she enjoys the feeling of fresh earth on her feet. She’s looking down at the grass when she hears the voice of the Jedi:
“Shin Hati, I see you’re awake.” Ahsoka has a warm grin on her face, evident she saw her and Sabine sharing the same bed. Never in her life did Shin think she’d blush over such childish things. Nevertheless, she was blushing.
“I wanted to thank you for helping me.” Shin says, ignoring her red cheeks. Ahsoka takes a few steps closer. “Thank Sabine. She found you. She begged for us to help you. You’re lucky I’m a hospitable person.” Ahsoka looks around at the small village of nomads. Shin follows her gaze. It’s hard to believe she was once an enemy to these people. “I still don’t know how she did it,” Ahsoka brings her gaze back to Shin, “found you, that is.” Shin looks down at her feet. “I was looking for you, first. Which reminds me; I need to talk to you and Sabine.” Seriousness fills Shins words, and Ahsoka gives a stiff nod.
Sabine, Ahsoka, and Shin are standing around the table in the T-6’s main room. Shin is now in her regular attire; cloak and armor, but she wears a new shirt and pants. Sabine wears what Shin believes is her training outfit; a tank top and baggy pants. Ahsoka is wearing a usual outfit with a shawl. “So what is this about?” Sabine says, familiar yet cautious. Shin gives the girl a piercing look, not menacing, but of importance. “The raiders which almost killed me,” Shin starts, moving her glare to Ahsoka, who has her arms crossed, “they plan on taking you out. All of you.”
“What? Why? They’ve always lived on this planet together. What’s different?” Sabine says, doubt in her tone. “You. Me.” Shin says, looking at the table. “I became one of them. They looked up to me. Saw me as their leader. I planned an attack on you and the Noti of this tribe. I thought it’s what I needed to do. But—“ “So you lied. You said the raiders were planning an attack but it was actually you.” Sabine scoffs and raises an eyebrow. Ahsoka watches the two girls. Shin sighs. “Yes, but here I am now. I tried to make things right. I was too late. They turned on me in an instant.” Shin says with a remorseful tone. “So why are you telling us this?” Sabine says.
“Because they’re coming here now.” Ahsoka understands, giving the girls an adamant look. “We must gather the nomads and move. Now.” Ahsoka slams a hand on the table and moves out. “No.” Ahsoka stops in her tracks, dropping her head. Shin shakes her head. “These nomads move too slow. We must stay and fight.” Shin places a hand on her lightsaber. “These people can’t fight. They are primitive. Peaceful. We can’t force them to learn something they’ve gone generations without.” Ahsoka turns back to Shin and Sabine. “We don’t need them to fight. We need to keep them safe.” Sabine says. Shin nods her head. “Let’s start gathering them, then.” Sabine says finally.
The three of them start going around the small village of Noti, explaining to their best degree that they need to stay in their pods and hide. Shin has an especially hard time communicating, and her frustration is apparent on her face. From afar, Sabine smirks a little as she watches the girl lose her patience.
Once all of the nomads are “packed up” and safe, Shin stands with her hands on her hips, surveying the different pods. She can’t begin to imagine life in one of them; so small, compact, and always on the move. It makes her nervous just thinking about it. And to think, the boy Ezra had been living in one for a decade. Shin couldn’t bare—
“Thank you.” Sabine appears behind Shin, causing her to jump and spin around to meet her. Shin keeps her face blank, eyes wide. “For helping these people.” Sabine steps closer, her hands behind her back. “Yes. I owed them. And you.” Shins face softens ever so slightly, but enough for Sabine to notice.
Sabine breathes in deep, sensing that uncontrollable force once again. It hums through her body, vibrates through her limbs, sends shockwaves to her fingertips. She feels as if the only relief is to touch the girl in front of her.
Sabine watches her hand shake as she lifts it to meet Shins cheek. The girls eyes get impossibly wider and her eyebrows quiver. Shins mouth opens just slightly, but she finds no words. Uncontrollably, her eyes dart from Sabine’s eyes to her lips. Her heart races, her fingertips twitch, and her mind longs for the purple-haired girl.
“Do you feel it, too?” Sabine whispers, desperation in her expression. Shins own expression softens with unsatisfaction. Shin shakes her head very lightly, not understanding. “Feel what?” She whispers, still looking at the girl. Sabines hand falls from Shins face as she turns to walk away. Shin shakes her head, reaching out to grab Sabine, any part of her. She can’t stand to be away from her touch.
Sabines head shakes as she lifts a hand to her mouth. “Forget it.” She says coldly. Shin stops reaching out for her, an angered expression crossing her face, but it quickly vanishes. She is speechless; what had happened? How had she lost her? It happened so fast. “The force.” Shin says quietly, starting to understand what the girl was referencing. Sabine stops and drops her head. She turns back to look at Shin. “I feel it too, Sabine. Before we arrived on this planet you had no power. Now you do. And I feel it.” Shin takes a few steps forward. “How did you do it?” She attempts to show a warm expression, urging Sabine to open up to her.
They gaze at each other for a moment, but their desperate state is interrupted by the piercing sound a spear, which shoots through the air inches from Shin and stabs into the earth. Both girls’ reach for their sabers, ducking and scanning the environment. When they see nothing, they hop into a run towards Ahsoka.
Ahsoka is surprised to see Shin and Sabine approaching with such anticipation; both have their blades ignited, their other hands intertwined. When they notice, they immediately drop their arms to their sides in a professional stiffness. “What is it?” Ahsoka asks, wondering she should, too, have her sabers ready.
“They’re here.” Shin says coldly.

Hi there can I request a doctor reader where she’s the only one Levi allows to treat him and he’s so soft when it’s just the two of them behind closed doors but they are too stubborn to let themselves give in and love so in their minds, if they don’t talk about it, they’re not crossing any lines
I love this, Anon 🥺 I’ve got you! 💙 Sorry it took so long for me to respond, but I wrote and wrote, and I sincerely hope you like it :)

“Levi?” Hange knocks loudly. “Levi, are you in there? Let me in!”
“What do you want, Hange?” Levi instantly recognizes the booming voice behind the door, and gets up from his chair, brushing off any evidence that showed he was sleeping. He twists the doorknob and allows the crazed looking person into his room.
“You’re never gonna believe it, I—” they finally take a look at Levi after ten seconds of being let in. He looks more tired than usual. Fatigued would be a better word to describe what he looked like. “Were you sleeping?” Hange looks him up and down, then begins to examine every inch of him from afar.
“Definitely not. Now, are you gonna tell me what i’m never going to believe, or are you leaving?” He crosses his arms, waiting for them to stop walking around him.
“You should get that checked out by a medic,” they say, pointing to a dark spot on the back of his shirt. “I thought you would have noticed it before me, Captain Clean.”
“What are you talking about, four eyes? I would have felt it, and seen it if there was something…there.” He sees the crimson spot on his back, and furrows his eyebrows in confusion. “What the hell?” He’s more upset that his shirt is ruined, but nonetheless, it’s strange that he didn’t feel the wound.
“I would check it out for you, but I have to go check on Bean. That sweet, lovable, giant baby is trainable! You guys will be so impressed when I teach him how to talk!” Their eyes gleam with excitement, a blush noticeable on their cheeks as they go into full detail about the things they’ll teach the giant.
“You’re still obsessing over that thing?” Levi rolls his eyes, his loss of interest visibly expressed.
“Of course I am! He’s so cute! I would pinch his cheeks if I wasn’t put in danger for doing so. Anyways, gotta scram. I left some of the new cadets in charge and they’re so scared of him.” They cackle like the cadets’ fear of the monster was unreasonable.
“Wait. Who’s on duty right now? Which medics?”
“Not too many. Mainly because there aren’t too many injured soldiers. Most of them are there for physicals. I saw Oscar and Lynn, and they didn’t have any patients. You should go to one of them.” They step towards the door, grabbing ahold of the doorknob, stopping when Levi shakes his head.
“I’m fine. I’ll just bandage myself up.” He heads towards some cabinets, searching for gauze.
“You shouldn’t let things like that breathe for too long. Something as minimal as that can hinder you in the future.”
He moves objects around, not seeing the gauze anywhere. “I don’t want to talk to those two. They always ask me stupid questions.” The area between his brows creases when the roll of medical white fabric isn’t where it usually is.
“Gabe is also on duty. He’s one of the best medics in the division. He doesn’t have any patients with him, but I think you should get going right now if you want him to check you out.”
“Why the hell is this area so disorganized?” Levi mutters to himself, disregarding Hange’s recommendation.
“That pretty lady you stare at all the time is there too.”
He stops moving objects around, turning around with a confused expression.
“I’m not blind. I corrected that a while ago,” they chuckle wildly. “I think she has one patient right now. You can see if she’ll take you right after, but i’m not sure if she has a waitlist.”
Levi stops scrambling through the cabinet, shutting the doors in defeat. He’ll have to reorganize the whole thing later.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I observe everyone all the time,” he defends.
“You stop aging when you look at her, and i’m gonna leave it at that because regardless of how much you argue the opposite, i’m right. Bye now!” They pull the door open, closing it for two seconds before peeking in again. “Seriously, though, go see her. You look pale as a ghost.” The door shuts again, leaving Levi in his loneliness like before.
It’s not the conversations with the other medics that bother Levi, it’s their levels of expertise. He knows the medics Hange mentioned before are more than capable of taking care of a simple scratch or a gash, and they can tell him everything that’s wrong with him, but they’re not on your level.
He trusts you solely because he knows you work like you run the place, which you basically do. He’s seen the way you handle the rush of injured soldiers when an expedition has gone horribly. There are hundreds of them, and you treat them all to the best of your ability. You divide your time with every soldier so that each one gets the proper medical care. You want them all to live, and if they aren’t allowed that luxury, you want them to rest easily.
You take control when other medics begin to panic, too overwhelmed by the image of missing limbs and blood drenching the wooden wagons the half awake soldiers are carried off of. You talk to the medics, and remind them of why they are so important—why they are so depended on. It eventually calms them, and they carry on to fulfill their duties. You will never fall apart on them, and Levi respects that of you most of all. He aspires to be that kind of role model for his subordinates.
He sees right through your brave façade, though. The way you struggle to eat, hours after taking care of a soldier who got his leg torn off by an abnormal titan. He sees the bags beneath your eyes, the aftermath of seeing just as much gore in your dreams as in real life. You’ve trained yourself to be professional, to not look away when you see a bone that is supposed to be covered by muscle, tendons, veins, and skin.
Sometimes he wants to sit with you when you’re the only one in the mess hall. He wants to verbally empathize with you, bring the slightest bit of comfort to your discouraged soul, but he gets so nervous. The sight of your face in your palms is a sad one, one he hates seeing, but he isn’t sure if he can fix it, and if he can’t, he would hate to have the knowledge of having tried and failed.
Levi finally pipes up and makes his way to the medical tents. The last name of every medic is labeled on the entrance, so he heads for yours. He hears groaning and a scream that is immediately hushed by a soft voice.
“I’m sorry you’re in pain, but I promise you’ll feel better once i’m done. Two more minutes, please. Be as still as a statue for me, Mr. Ellis,” you say as you stick the needle into the man’s bicep and pull the suture through.
Levi looks through the open part of the tent and searches for you, scanning left to right until he sees you with your hands on a fellow scout. The space between your brows creases due to the amount of concentration you devote to stitching the man’s arm up correctly. You don’t want it to heal incorrectly, so you keep the sutures as straight as possible. The needle goes in one more time, a few bitten back groans leaving the trembling man.
“Good to go, Mr. Ellis,” you say as you snip off the thread attached to the final stitch. “Please, make sure to come back if the stitches come undone, or if you have symptoms that do not seem normal.”
“Symptoms such as?” The man asks, standing from the chair.
“Such as redness or swelling around the area. If the stitches come undone, please return immediately. Otherwise, those are just some symptoms, but if you see that it just doesn’t look right, come back as soon as possible.” You smile politely.
“Thanks, doc.”
You nod, and watch as he makes his way to the exit. He stands near the entrance of the tent and you can see his right elbow bend, so you assume he’s saluting to someone.
“Afternoon, Captain Levi.”
Levi nods wordlessly, moving aside so that the man can get out of there.
“Am I cutting any sort of waitlist?” He asks, entering the tent.
“Well, technically my next patient won’t be here for another thirty minutes. Depending on what you need, I could just say my last patient took more time than I thought he would.”
“Aren’t you an angel,” he sits down in the chair near you.
“I guess you could say that,” you chuckle. “To what do I owe this visit, Captain Levi? Need some charts? Need a massage? Need some stitches?”
He snickers, remembering the adorable look on your face earlier as you poked into the poor man’s skin. “None of the above. I might take up your offer for a massage some other time, though.”
“It’s a once in a lifetime act, so save it for when all your muscles ache,” you grin.
“Will do, miss. So, i’m here to get something checked out. I didn’t even notice it until Hange pointed it out.” He turns his back to you, showing you the blood-stained spot on his back.
“Wow, that’s a lot of blood. Do you mind taking your shirt off so I can take a look at the wound?”
“Not at all. One second.” He pulls his shirt out of his trousers, unbuttoning every button quickly before pulling the shirt off and setting it on his lap. He turns his back to you again, and you can see the damage.
“Yikes, that’s some injury. You might actually need some stitches.” You place a hand on his side to balance yourself as you lean forward to further examine the gash. He jumps a little at the contact, the coldness of your hands contrasting his warm skin. He remembers the last time your hands touched his bare skin. The scene shows up sometimes in the dreams he occasionally has.
“Sorry, just wanted to take a closer look.” His skin is as smooth as ever, regardless of the scars and bruises that litter it. There are more there than the last time you saw him like this. “I’ll have to disinfect it before anything else. We can’t let it get worse. Since it’s such a deep cut, if it gets infected, the infection will spread within your body, and cause some serious damage to the tissue beneath your skin.”
“Do what you must, doctor. I trust you.” He turns to face you again, eyes taking in your appearance. You always look like this, so disheveled and messy. Your hair is in a bun, hair sticking out of the round shape like blades, and your bangs are tucked behind your ears, the strands reappearing beneath your earlobes. The only time you ever looked more beautiful was that night he stayed with you in the tent. You didn’t sleep, and he didn’t sleep.
“I’ll need you to lay on the bed over there. Let me just grab some supplies really quick, and i’ll be right there.”
He follows directions and lays on the bed, on his stomach. You grab some gauze, and your needle and thread, unsure of whether you’ll need to use them.
“Okay, i’m going to sterilize your wound quickly. If it hurts too much, let me know and i’ll give you a minute. I doubt something like this would hurt you though, Mr. Humanity’s Strongest,” you talk to distract him from what you know hurts like hell. “Now, how in the world did you rip yourself open like this?” You ask.
“It’s not as interesting as you may think. It wasn’t during a heroic act or anything like that. I was landing really quickly onto a tree, and I full on slid against a thick branch that stuck out of it. I think that’s when it happened, but I wasn’t focused on the damage at all. I was just trying to make it back here alive.”
You pat the area dry with some cotton pads.
“That’s pretty interesting in my opinion, and I strongly believe that anytime you’re out there beyond the walls, on your expeditions, you’re committing heroic acts because it’s for the good of humanity.”
“That’s an interesting statement coming from the person who brings every one of us back to life when we return. I want you to know, your work doesn’t go unnoticed. Not by anyone. Not by me.”
You feel your face grow warm. The Captain has always been sweet to you, complimenting your courageousness, and asking how you’re feeling once all his soldiers have been mended. It’s…sweet.
“Thank you, Mr. Ackerman.”
You determined the severity of his wound, deeming stitches unnecessary. You’ll just patch it up, and send him back out with some extra gauze and ointment.
“Today is your lucky day.”
He smiles against the cushion. “Why is that, hm?”
“Looks like you don’t need stitches,” you spread some ointment on the wound, patching it up right after.
“Damn, I was really looking forward to getting a needle poked through my skin. Maybe next time.”
You rub the patch, making sure it stays on. “Right? I was really enjoying my time with you. Now I have to take my next patient.”
Levi sits up on the bed, his feet dangling on the edge.
“I’m sure we can find some time to chat later on.” His slate colored eyes peer into yours. They have that mischievous glint to them that had you sweating beneath him last time.
“Or…my patient took more time than I thought he would?”
“You’re bad, sweetheart,” he grins. “We’ll find some time later. Right now, we both have responsibilities,” he tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
“Fine. You better find me later, then.”
“Hello? Doctor, are you in there? Oh, Captain Levi. Good afternoon,” another scout enters the tent.
“I’ll be going now,” Levi says, putting his shirt back on.
“Don’t strain yourself too much out there.” You say, putting away your unused supplies. “I’ll see you later,” you mutter.
He nods, walking towards the exit.
“Doc, I have this really sharp pain in my knee. I think it’s from the time that…” the soldier’s voice trails off as you hold eye contact with the Captain again. It’s not an innocent glance—far from it. It makes your heart race, and your face flushes when he mouths ‘focus’. He finally exits the tent, leaving just you and the patient. The young man had to repeat the entire story again because you weren’t paying attention the first time.
The day ended with Levi continuing to train the cadets at his full extent, regardless of you telling him to take it easy. He won’t just stand there and watch the young soldiers-to-be fail continuously. Two, three times is okay, but after the fourth and fifth time of seeing most of them falling like rag dolls, he decides it’s time to show them how it’s supposed to be done.
Afterwards, he spectates the soldiers that have been put into pairs, as they go against each other in hand-to-hand combat practice.
“Firm stance,” he advises to a young man with wobbly knees. The cadet adjusts his stance and prepares to spar with his partner, only to be laid flat on the ground within seconds.
“That wasn’t a very firm stance now, was it?” Levi says, looking down at the cadet who just lays there, groaning from the pain of the impact on his head. “I barely put any force into that kick. Now get up and show me a stable form.”
He spent time with every group, pointing out the flaws in the way they fought, and correcting them. Many of the cadets hated him by the end of the day. They hated him for how rough he was, and how violent he seemed to be, but Levi couldn’t care less about what they thought. He was told to watch over the new kids for the day, and he fulfilled his duty. How was he supposed to know that they were babied up until then?
The sky had darkened completely, the stars and the crescent moon now visible in the sky. Levi left his office in search of you, but when he arrived at your tent, you weren’t there. Maybe you were in the mess hall again. He searched there and didn’t see you anywhere. There was one more spot he could think of where you might be. If he doesn’t find you there, he’ll call it a night.
Not finding you will be his sign to stop looking for you all the time. He shouldn’t be spending this much time with you, anyway. You’re busy, he’s busy, and this thing between you guys is giving off the illusion of living the perfect life.
Aha.
“I was looking everywhere for you,” Levi says, sitting on the grass next to you. He can clearly see the piles you made with the grass you ripped out of the ground. “Did the grass piss you off or something?”
You laugh through your nose. “No, it’s a habit of mine.”
“Ripping the dirt’s hair out? That’s a pretty violent habit.”
He notices the blank look on your face, like you’re lost in thought. “What are you thinking about?” He asks, not looking away.
You stare at all the buildings, and appreciate how beautiful the moonlight makes them look. The blue hue giving the city a dream-like appearance.
“Have you ever thought about leaving this place?”
He considers calling you insane, but instead softens the blow to avoid being hated by you as well. “What gives you an idea like that?”
“I don’t know. I would never do it, but sometimes I like to imagine what it would be like to run away from my responsibilities.” You finally turn to look at the man sitting next to you. He’s not wearing the tan jacket he usually wears over his dress shirt, nor does he have his forest green cape with him. For a second, he looks like an ordinary man with no affiliation to the crowd of people who search for the monsters that are waiting outside for them. No title, no wings of freedom. Nothing. He’s just Levi. Nothing but himself.
“That’s an easy way out, don’t you think?”
You nod, flustered by how easily he shut down the things you pictured.
“If I were to ever do it, you know I wouldn’t tell anyone. I’m only telling you this because you understand how I live. You live the exact same way.”
He leans back on his palms, watching the sheer clouds move slowly in the sky.
“You said you would never run away. How did you go from talking about that to planning your escape if you ever were to run away?”
“I would want you by my side, Captain.” Your face shines in the darkness, the pale blue light painting it. “But…” you sigh, a dispirited smile on your face. “That’s one for the next life.”
The wishful look on your face was heartbreaking as you stared at the countless amount of specks littering the sky. Something about the way your eyes gleam, like there’s a dam about to burst, makes Levi’s heart wrench. He’s usually so quick to think of things to say to you, but for once you have him stunned.
“Ah, enough sappiness. Maybe I should head back to my tent.” You uncross your legs and place one hand on the ground to aid you in getting up. Levi sits up and looks up at you.
“I’ll come with you.” He stands from the ground, peering into your shiny orbs.
“Come with me, then.” You walk ahead, turning to look at him with a grin on your face. He knew what he wanted in that moment. To be realistic, it was all he wanted all the time.
“This place looks familiar,” he jokes, sitting on the chair.
“Yeah, you’ve probably been in here before. Say, I think you were here just a few hours ago.” You smile tenderly, a sight that makes Levi’s heart go: bum bum bum bum bum bum.
“How’s the gash?” You ask, folding your coat and setting it on the table.
“What gash? I can’t even feel it.”
“That’s good to hear. Want me to take a look at it again? See how it’s doing?” You wash your hands with some extra water you keep in a jug for emergencies.
“Is that just an excuse to get me to undress?” His lips twitch upwards.
“Jesus, Captain. What is it about this tent that turns you on so much?” You chuckle, heading towards the bed.
“It’s not so much the tent, but the treatment I receive in the tent. Speaking of being turned on, I guess we’ll just ignore the fact that you mask your desire to see me naked with your medical procedures.” His right eyebrow quirks mischievously.
“No, no. I can get you to undress regardless of whether it’s a medical examination or not.”
“Prove it.”
“I will. Come closer,” your index finger does a beckoning motion. He takes slow steps towards you, his eyes on yours the entire time. As he approaches you, standing directly in front of you, you grab his hips and pull him against your body. He’s now wedged between your thighs.
“Remember that time you spent the night in here with me?”
“Very vividly.”
“What if I told you I wanted you like that again?” Your hand comes up to his face, your thumb gliding across his bottom lip, before pulling it down and letting it bounce back in place. Levi was not okay after that. You had this look of hunger in your eyes, and he wanted nothing more than to satiate you.
“I’m in no position to deny you of your pleasure, but I think it should be a fair fight,” his hand grabs ahold of your collar, his thumb brushing the smooth fabric until it reaches the pointy edge.
“You think so?”
He nods, staring down at your exposed neck.
“Oh, Captain Levi,” you sigh, unbuttoning the first two buttons of your shirt. You stop there, enjoying the look of pure enamor on Levi’s face. His eyes scan every inch of skin you reveal, chasing the movement of your hands as you further expose your torso. “I didn’t know you had such a weak spot for an ordinary medic like me.”
He inhales, exhaling deeply, his eyes hooded and feline-like as he takes in your attractive features. “You’re anything but ordinary, precious.”
“Mmm,” you hum, satisfied with the feeling of his hands on your waist. “Because the Captain isn’t a dick to me, but instead, dicks me down every now and then?”
You leave him speechless for a few seconds, a rosy tint appearing on his cheeks. He loves it when you talk like this. You secured your win with that statement, because he immediately began unbuckling his belt, and untucking his shirt from his trousers. His shirt is set aside, and his trousers are partially lowered, his underwear lowered enough to release his throbbing length.
“You fucking win. Now, be mature and take accountability for what you’ve done.”
You look down at the erect figure below, fascinated by how flushed the tip is. You haven’t even touched him that much, and he’s already craving more of you.
You fucked like wild animals, the bed creaking beneath you as Levi thrusted into your wet heat. He had to cover your mouth because your moans were only getting louder as he continued to screw your brains out.
“Oh! Fuck, fuck! Captain!” You cry out, holding his shoulders to steady yourself.
“Shh… Let’s keep this between me and you, sweetheart.”
You rest your chin on his shoulder, biting it to muffle your moans as you continued withstand the push and pull of his cock inside of you.
“My—agh—favorite…little medic,” he grunts. “I’m gonna come, i’m gonna come!”
“Shh…come for me. Give it to me, sir.” Your hand goes to the back of his head, gently running your fingers through the smooth strands of hair.
His thrusts are quicker and stronger, and he fucks you like you’re a doll. Shuddering, he watches as you throw your head back in ecstasy, high pitched moans held in, resulting in cautious whimpers being expelled.
“Oh fuck,” he groans, pulling out of you. He gasps as he pumps himself until white, hot, spurts of his cum release.
For a while, all that can be heard is panting as you both attempt to catch your breaths. You giggle as you stare at his dazed expression, his mouth hanging slightly open with short puffs of air leaving and entering.
“That was fun,” you say, breaking the silence.
Little did you know that Levi was head over heels for you. He just didn’t know how to let you know, so he played the part of the fuck buddy. Sex with him was exclusive to you, though. You fucking anyone else was none of his concern, but he didn’t want to be this intimate with anyone else but you.
“What’s wrong?” You ask, when he doesn’t say anything. He just shakes his head, and gets dressed.
“Um, well, thank you for making my night so passionate,” you say through a giggle.
“Same to you. I should probably go get myself cleaned up.”
“Right. Wouldn’t want anyone to know that our beloved Captain actually gets laid, huh?” You smirk.
He laughs through his nose, a slight lift on the right corner of his lips.
“Goodnight, miss,” he says, only tenderness in his tone. He wonders if he should kiss you. Would that be too intimate? Would it make you uncomfortable? He doesn’t want to think about this right now, so he settles for squeezing your thigh, before heading back into the Scouts headquarters.
You smile like you’re satisfied with that goodbye, but all you really wanted was to feel his lips against yours. It’s all you thought about while he rearranged your insides. When is he going to kiss me? We haven’t kissed once this entire time. Is this the part where he kisses me? Should I kiss him?
You didn’t, though, because much like him, you were also afraid to push the intimacy to a level that created a permanent bond.

"Look, she's well steep."
Tumblr media
Character Name: Montgomery “Three-Card Monty” Barker
Fandom: Realms of Peril & Glory (@realmspod), Liminal London campaigns [Podcast]
Played By: Naomi Clarke (@naomithinksit)
Yarn Used: Hair: CraftSmart Value - Toasted Almond Skin: CraftSmart Value - Taupe Birthmark/Mouth: Caron Lava Cakes - Sour Cherry Tracksuit: Red Heart Super Saver - Spring Green Zipper: CraftSmart Value - Heather Grey Shoes: CraftSmart Value - Tomato Soles: CraftSmart Value - White
Basic pattern here.
Tumblr media
Monty, our beloved chicken nugget wizard. I fell in love with this kid pretty much from the moment I heard him (him being Naomi’s creation helped with that) and he’s just…adorable. And after Episode 4 of Loose Change (the fourth mystery), Great Googly Mooglies, that boy needs all the hugs. I hauled ass to get him finished in time for Episode 5 (I am writing this paragraph prior to actually finishing him, so we’ll see if I manage since it’s, uh, Sunday night). [Crafter’s note: I did not. I finished him two weeks later, in time for Episode 7.] He differs from the base pattern as follows:
Shoes: I actually used a different color for his soles this time! Like with Joseph’s, I did the soles in white, then switched to red for the body of the shoes. However, I did use white for the decreases at the toes in the first round of decreasing the shoes to give that white toe cap that’s so distinctive on Converse and Converse knockoffs (per Naomi, everything Monty owns is a knockoff). I also added an extra round of decreases to make longer flat tops to the shoes and skinnier ankles. The shoes went up to R9 like that, and then: R10: Ch 1, sc in front loops of first 5 sc, sl st in next 2 sc, sc in next 5 sc, sl st in first sc (12 sc).
Tracksuit: I asked on the Light & Tragic Discord, and Naomi was kind enough to inform me that Monty wears high-tops and tucks the hem of his tracksuit into them. I also wanted the pants to have a kind of baggy effect. So once I joined the tracksuit yarn, I chained 2, then did 2dc in the back loop of the first sc in R9, then dc in the back loop of the next 10 sc in R9, then 2dc in the back loop of the final sc in R9, sl st in first dc (15dc). I then continued as normal. I used the same method for his shirt as I did for Joseph and Gerry, just a bit higher up when I started the hemline. I also formed his torso the same way as I did Gerry’s—square most of the way up and then starting the decreases at the very end. Neither of these decisions were intentional, I just wasn’t paying attention to how many rounds I’d done. For the zipper, I tied three knots on top of one another to make a zipper pull, then embroidered in straight lines up and down either side of the zipper track before doing a cross stitch up the middle.
Head: Naomi said in S4E5 that Monty “had one of those big birthmarks” and I knew I had to include it. I didn’t really plan the defined edges of the birthmark, just changed color back and forth as seemed appropriate. Came out a bit Ziggy Stardust, but you know, it’s Monty. I also used safety eyes for him again. Think I put them in too far up too soon, because stitching around them was a pain in the ass, but it worked out.
Tumblr media
Hair: I, uh. Forgot to start adding his hair in as low as I usually do, so his hairline is a bit higher in the back than normal, which is one of the reasons there are no pictures from behind, the other being that for some reason the seam got really jagged up the back (I’m guessing I wasn’t counting carefully enough and my joins got off). I’d meant for him to have a textured stitch to his hair, but I got to that point while I was away from home and didn’t have my book with all the stitches in it with me, so I improvised. I gave him a fun little swoosh of hair at the front. Turns out I was overcomplicating things with Hux’s and Mini’s hair. There’s a legitimate stitch called the hair stitch or fur stitch that does exactly what I was trying for on them with significantly less stress, so I used that here for Monty. Gives him kind of a cheeky look and I love it.
Arms: I used the same method I used for Joseph. I only stuffed up to R20 so he would have a little more flexibility in the shoulders.

Hello! May I please request a one piece matchup? If you're too busy please feel free to delete! <3
--
BASICS
Name: Mochi
Gender: Female (she/her)
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual (any gender match is ok!)
SIGNS AND TYPES
Zodiac: Libra sun, Libra moon, Leo rising
MBTI: INFP
Enngram: 4; the individualist
Alignment: Chaotic good
House: Slytherin
Love Language (Giving): Physical touch, quality time
Love Language (Receiving): Quality time, gift giving
PERSONALITY
Likes: Video games, reading, drawing, writing, crochet, cross stitch, Sanrio, frogs, mushrooms, cows, coffee, sweets, summertime
Dislikes: Chores (executive dysfunction), cold weather, bitter foods, crowded places, overload of sounds (sensory issue)
Personality: I'm a very quiet person, but I'm also very friendly and bubbly. I love making friends even though I have social anxiety around new people. I'm not the most talkative, though I can hold a conversation: I'm a great listener, at least! I love spending time with my loved ones, especially my special person. I try really hard to make people feel welcome and relaxed when they're around me. Despite being quiet, I'm generally quiet communicative. When it comes to negative feelings it does have to be dragged out of me a bit, but otherwise I'm an open book!
I'm very chill most of the time, and can be very laid back. More a follower personality. I can be a bit cavalier as I deal with everything through (often quite dark) humor, but if I ever make someone genuinely uncomfortable I'm good to stop. I do need to be told peoples feelings directly though as I'm not a good judge of others unless I already know them well. Because of this I don't sus out peoples intentions well and see the best even when maybe it's not there. I'm pretty naive and gullible tbh. If you dig my humor, though, I'm really funny.
I'm very mental health aware. I suffer from anxiety and bipolar II, so I can be a lot. That being said, I'm very observant with those I love and very good at dealing with ups and downs in myself and others. I'm very introspective and always in my head for better and worse. I'm always striving to better myself, but tend to doubt myself and give into negative self talk.
I value my found family above all else. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them and I've been told I'm too loyal. I also value accountability, a growth mindset, and ambition.
Im very indoorsy and a bit of a homebody. That being said, I don't mind being spontaneous from time to time or going out if there's something interesting to do.
I have my moments of insecurity for sure but I'm pretty confident most of the time. Like I said, I'm an open book - I'm not shy to talk about anything with someone who asks and is seemingly well-intentioned! I honestly just have a huge interest in how people think and love picking their brains lol. I also love silly theorheticals for this very reason.
I'm a big softie who unsuccessfully pretends to be a tough guy. I've got a major weakness for cute things and wouldn't hurt a fly in reality. Soft candy with a gooey centre fr.
APPEARANCE
Hair: I have shoulder-length very dark brown wavy hair with a side part and grown out fringe. My hair is plain but it's soft!
Eyes: I have beautiful, big chocolate brown eyes with long lashes. They're one of my favourite parts of myself!
Body: I have olive skin, a pear figure, and am overweight. I have about 7 smallish tattoos, and piercings in my lips, ears, and nose.
Style: usually I'm very hobo-chic with all sweats but my preferred style is either full alt or cute pink dresses and bows.
--
Tysm for your time! Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions!
Author's Note: Thank you so much for this request and how detailed and well structured it is! It made my work really enjoyable. As a side note, you seem such a nice person. Hope you'll enjoy it! 🌹
I ship you with...Trafalgar D Water Law!
Tumblr media
(lovely gif is not mine, please show appreciation to the OP)
- Your chill and laid-back way of being is what naturally draws him to you. Afterwards, your bubbly side is what keeps him close, all whipped and annoyed.
- He hates to admit that you are exactly what he needed.
- You both seem loyal, mature and ambitious. Once he discovers those traits in you, he decides that he wants you close. An ally, maybe. That's what he sees in you initially.
- A softer demeanor is what Law needs to heal from his past. You being a softie is what will keep him getting better. Is also a side of you that he wants to keep as a secret, not wanting others to try to use it as manipulation.
- Being introspective is a mutual trait so at times, it will be a little complicated for you to figure out and communicate what's happening between you two.
- He's the first to notice that you're feeling anxious. Maybe because he's a doctor or maybe because he worries for you, who knows? (Hint: It's both.)
- The innocent gullibility you mentioned is something that triggers Law to take care of you. And also to tease you, good luck.
- Soft hair? Lay next to him as he's studying and let him run his fingers through your hair while he's reading.
- A cute scenario? You two would have late night convos about tattoos and piercings. Both being half asleep, talking about what other tattoos or piercings you want/consider cool.
- About your style, I think you two would make a great power couple when you go for the alternative aesthetic. If you go for the cute pink aesthetic, there's something about it that makes him whipped.

I'm rather proud of this, even if it did take me about a month to complete.
Let me explain.
I'm normally a cross stitcher, but I'd been seeing a lot of embroidery tricks on Pinterest (chronic scroller) and have been wanting to try the tulip button stitch for quite some time. Unfortunately, I had no jackets or cardis appropriate enough to try it on, so I hit up the Rockmans website and got this fuzzy thing for $20 (marked down from $80, mind, so I'd call that a win). It eventually arrived and it came with buttons like this:
Tumblr media
Blingy, no holes, and so heavy they were drooping off the cardi and making it a lop sided garment when worn unbuttoned.
In other words, perfect.
Before I could start lopping them off, I had to make sure I had replacement buttons. As I live in small town with barely any decent crafting supplies, I needed to wait for a day off work where I could travel the hour and a bit away to my closest Spotlight. The day finally came, I took in the spare/replacement button the cardi came with, hunted through the minimal button section (why do buttons not come in those long tubes with the sample button on the lid anymore? Sometimes I would like to buy more than one button? Or more than three??) and walked away with a packet of mixed white buttons.
Then my stupid brain hit.
When I finally had another day for me to work on my cardi, I opened the button packet and started rummaging. I pulled out the various buttons that had been the same size as the original buttons, lamented that the creamy ones with the slight flower petal design on them only numbered 3, and realised that in order to find enough of the right size buttons that were all the same type, I was going to have to sort them.
I ... may have a problem when it comes to sorting.
Sorting things takes me AGES. Not that I think I'm bad at it, I think I'm too GOOD at it. My usual sorting items of choice are books. You won't believe how much enjoyment I get at spending days sorting our library after every time we've had to move house. And just like with sorting books, buttons seem to have their own distinctions. Buttons with 2 holes. Buttons with 4. Buttons with writing. Buttons with SHEEN. SPECIFICALLY COLOURED SHEEN. THERE WERE SO MANY BUTTONS WITH GREEN SHEEN AND, LIKE, THREE WITH PINK?!
Anyway.
I believe the task of sorting them into pairs or more of identical buttons - with a small pile of Lonesome Larries to the side - followed by bagging up the piles, and followed THEN by glad wrapping the rest of them because I had limited amount of little baggies, took me a good couple of hours. In the end, I had a pile of 7 of these plain white buttons of the right size, so at least I have 2 spare if I ever lose any in the future.
And then I discovered just how difficult a French knot can be.
Mini videos on Pinterest generally don't explain how to do things in words. I'm a visual learner, I think, so I thought I'd be able to do this just by following the example. I struggled for a long time, @itchylimpet 's Ma even tried to help me to no avail, and after watching many videos and reading one article on how to do it, I finally managed to do it without making a horrible mess. I continued on, paused for dinner, and by the pitch of night I had finally finished.
So, there you have it. One project that resulted in barely much but took forever to do. I am proud that I eventually managed to get it and I am excited at trying out some other embroidery projects I have in mind. I know this is probably silly, considering it was just a button change, but I like this.

good mornin' everybody! here's a reyna prompt for you all to enjoy!
prompt: Can i request an fluff/angst about a male reader (it can be female too, depends which gender you're more comfortable with but male is what i'll prefer) confessing his feelings to Reyna? [A/N: for the sake of fairness, i made it gn!reader, as i don't write male readers]
words: 1500
warnings: blood, cursing, reader being painfully oblivious
Tumblr media
Reyna comes into the infirmary looking like she went to town on somebody with a chainsaw, and though it’s not the worst in terms of blood you’ve seen, it’s still enough to make your heart drop straight through your chest. 
“Oh— for fucks sake, Reyna, get on the bed,” you say, dropping the report you’d been working on. It had been a quiet day in the infirmary; you were holding it down because Sage got put on another mission and Skye was out of town for a routine family visit back home, but you shouldn’t have been holding your breath that the day would’ve been easy. 
To your credit, Reyna does lean against the bed, crossing her arms with a rather bitchy look on her face. Customary, really, for the Empress to look like that. You get a rag and dampen it with some warm water from the tap, as well as filling a small metal bowl. You’re going to need to clean off the blood. 
Luckily, Reyna does not complain, which is unusual for anyone but you. You think she begrudgingly respects you, given your status as a medically trained doctor in both the Radiant field and in humans. Much of the blood comes off her face and clothes without a fuss, and you have to have a tight-knuckled grip on the rag in order to avoid thinking about the way Reyna looks at you the entire time. 
“Fucking hell, did you bring a fucking lawnmower with you on the mission?” You pick out a shard of glass from a cut on her cheek with some tweezers. You clean the wound again; the cut isn’t deep enough to warrant stitches, but you place butterfly bandages over it to keep the skin together while it heals. With the rate Reyna heals at, she should be clear to take them off tonight. 
“I brought a gun,” Reyna supplies helpfully. You give her a glare, prompting her to grin. “Am I clear, Doc?” 
With a roll of your eyes, you put away the supplies, swallowing the lump in your throat. It shouldn’t be this fucking difficult, being near Reyna. You’re a goddamn doctor, for fucks sake. You’re supposed to be professional; this isn’t professional at all, but it doesn’t stop how you feel about Reyna. 
How you’re practically in love with a woman who is untouchable. 
“You’re clear,” you say, and your voice is a little too tense to pass off as normal. You clear your throat. “If there’s nothing else that needs tending to, then you’re good to go.” 
Reyna’s footsteps move toward the door of the infirmary; you’re waiting for her to leave so you can start breathing right again, but there’s no sound of the lock twisting or the door shutting or anything. 
“If there’s something on your mind…” Reyna starts. 
Turning to her, you plaster on your best smile, one that is familiar to anyone who’s come to you for medical help. “Nothing is. Just been a long day, that’s all.” 
“I don’t think that’s it, cariño,” Reyna replies, tilting her head to the side to run her hand through her slightly blood-encrusted hair. Flakes fall onto the ground and you make a mental note to disinfect the floor later. Reyna glances at the door in thought, then twists the lock. “You’re not usually this mopey, Doc. Something’s bothering you.” 
“It’s nothing, Reyna, just some personal—” 
“That’s a lie if I’ve ever heard it,” Reyna cuts you off, and god if it isn’t attractive when she gets that cocky, self-assured smile on her face. It makes you insane. 
Still, you stay strong (as much as you can be, when Reyna is looking at you in that way that makes you feel like you’re prey and she’s predator). “I promise, it’s nothing I can’t handle.” 
“You sure, cariño?” Reyna tilts her head to the side, her body following in the movement like she’s snaking toward you. “You think I haven’t noticed the way you look at me?” 
You freeze. 
“If you want to fuck me, all you have to do is ask,” Reyna remarks, putting her hand on the edge of the bed she was sitting on and leaning to you. 
Your heart drops through your stomach. 
So that’s what she thinks this is. 
“Excuse me.” The words come out of your mouth. “I need to go.” 
You don’t care that the infirmary is dirty and that you need to clean it, or that someone else might come looking for you for help later because they scratched themself or something stupid. You don’t care, because you can’t be close to Reyna when she’s giving you an offer for something you can’t have. 
You’re selfish with your feelings. 
You wipe at your eyes, pushing off the tears that are threatening to come out. You thought you’d done a fairly decent job at disguising your feelings under professional concern as a doctor, but maybe it started showing more and more when Reyna kept coming back with wounds and injuries you know wouldn’t hurt her in the long run, but it hurt you still. 
She could never possibly want you anyway. 
You’re so stuck in the metal wheel of your thoughts that you don’t notice footsteps, quick and fast, behind you until your arm is grabbed and your momentum comes to a full stop. 
Turning to look over your shoulder, it’s Reyna, and her grip doesn’t ease up. 
“You don’t run away from me that easily,” Reyna says, a teasing tone in her words. 
You snap. 
Shoving her arm off of you, you back away a few steps. “This isn’t a fucking game to me, Reyna. Stop it.” 
Reyna swallows, her throat bobbing as she lowers her arm. “Then what is it, Doc?” 
You glance aside at the wall, realizing you’re in a public hallway that is empty, but anyone could turn the corner at any time and be witness to whatever the fuck is happening right now. But truth is, your emotions are running high and you’re done. 
“I like you,” you say, the words plain and clear, no way around them. “A lot, Reyna. And it’s painful, because I know I’m just a human and you’re a Radiant and you don’t like humans. You never have, but you treat me with dignity and respect and it makes me confused. But then you go and pull bullshit like that in the infirmary and it makes me all twisted inside and I can’t fucking think whenever you’re around because I like you so much.” 
Your breathing is labored when you finish speaking. Taking in a few gulps of air, you divert your gaze toward the ground, looking at the suddenly very interesting material the floor is made out of. Reyna’s silence is all the answer you need. 
You turn around and start walking away. 
Only for her to reappear right in front of you, eyes alight with a pink flare and her body shimmering the way it does whenever she’s in her immaterial form. Reyna’s skin and body comes back into reality as she grabs you by the front of your pristine white lab coat and yanks you in. 
Her kiss is bruising. 
You don’t realize you’re being backed into a wall until you hit it, scrambling for purchase. Your hands hold to Reyna’s hips and she pushes them forward into you, making a delighted sound into your mouth. 
“Wait—” You pull away, gasping for air. “This isn’t—” 
“I don’t like humans,” Reyna says, staring into your eyes. “But I like you.” 
“You… you do?” 
“You’re infuriatingly oblivious,” Reyna retorts, her hand sliding behind your neck and bringing you in for a kiss. You sink into it, handing over every ounce of control and giving in to the thrumming of your heart inside of your chest. With how close she is, you wouldn’t be surprised if she felt how hard it was pounding behind your ribs. 
You’re so engrossed in the way her lips feel and how warm her body is, all the lean muscle under her clothes and the way she smells that you don’t hear someone singing something as they come down the bend. 
“—know who I’m with, or none of my shit, ain’t nunya business—” The singing comes to an abrupt end and you pull away from Reyna, eyes wide at the sight of Raze stopped dead in her tracks. She looks like a deer caught in headlights. 
Slowly, Raze raises her phone and the flash goes off with the sound of a camera click.  
Next to you, Reyna growls. “Be back in a second, mi corazón.” 
And then she’s dematerializing, disappearing in a haze of movements to chase down a gleefully laughing Raze.  
You stand in the hallway, a little perplexed, but happy. You bring your fingers to your lips and you can’t hold back the giddy smile that comes to your face. 
~~~~~ A/N: reyna isn't good with words so she just gets aggressive and kisses her love interests <3
