redditors are so fucking weird, sometimes they don't even know what hill they're dying on all they know is that they're gonna die on it for sure
#told a dude on reddit who was asking how much violence is allowed in YA books that you can put as much as you'd like#& he was like ''books sure have changed since i was an adolescent'' & i was like. no. they've always been that way. read them & see#(literally gave Watership Down as an example. it was published in the 70's)#& he started ranting & raving about how actually i'm wrong because liberals & kids these days don't understand#what it's like to be an adolescent (kept using that word) in a time where all books were banned for even the most minor of implied violence#& i was like ''what the fuck are you talking about'' & he was like ''where do you live & how old are you'' about a hundred times#i wish i was exaggerating. it really escalated that fast#oh also they were assuming i'm a guy & using he/him pronouns which is like. fuck off lol yeah you're obviously an old white guy from Americ#literally i should just leave reddit forever but i can't stand by watching people say ''quit forever'' when newbies ask simple questions#like redditors are insane. batshit#i want to be the ''do whatever you want forever'' person in a sea of ''you're 12 & only have a 12yo's reading level? die''#also the blocking on there is bullshit. you can't reply to comments if one of the people in the convo is blocked#& you can't block someone twice in 24 hours#& if you want to report someone for. say. harassment. like asking for your location repeatedly. you have to report the specific comment.#which you now can't see because you blocked them#more & more i become astonished that people use every other social media EXCEPT tumblr#couldn't imagine living like that. it must be horrible

[7:29 PM]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stumbling into the shared apartment with Yeosang, you swiftly covered your mouth to suppress any whimpers upon seeing your boyfriend peacefully napping on the living room couch.
After carefully placing your heels by the shoe rack, you quietly tip-toed past his slumbering figure and slipped into your shared bedroom, closing the door behind you with utmost care to ensure he wasn't disturbed from his much-needed rest.
It was only upon reaching the sanctuary of your room that you collapsed onto the bed, tears streaming down your face as you cradled your injured arm close. It had been a horrible day, marked by a minor accident at work amidst ongoing tensions with your boss and difficult encounters with customers. Throughout the day, you struggled to keep yourself together, merely waiting for this moment to release all pent-up emotions.
As you sobbed into your pillows, the door to the room creaked open, causing you to panic. Swiftly wiping away your tears, you sat up, trying to compose yourself.
"Darling, you're back already? Why didn't you come say hi to me first, hm? I've been waiting," Yeosang's voice greeted you as he entered the cosy space, "You know you could've just woken me up..."
His words trailed off as he noticed your bandaged arm and tear-stained cheeks, "I-I'm sorry, Yeo, it's just—" You couldn't stop the sobs escaping your lips at the sight of his concerned expression, cursing yourself internally for being such a crybaby.
Hearing your anguished cries, his heart clenched, and he swiftly moved to join you on the bed. He pulled you close, showering your head with tender kisses, "Hey, hey, it's okay. What happened to your arm? Are you alright? Please, talk to me, darling."
Your sobs only grew stronger in response to his care. Nestling your head against his neck, you stuttered out, "One of my c-colleagues didn't see me approaching and accidentally s-swung her envelope opener toward me. I tried to shield myself with my arm, and that's how..." You gestured to your injured arm, feeling miserable.
"I'm so sorry, darling. Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up from work if I had known you were hurt. And don't try to hide it from me; I know that can't be the only reason you're upset." He whispered, his lips gently pressing against your temple as he offered a comforting squeeze, careful not to worsen the pain in your arm.
The following words that left your lips broke his heart, "I d-didn't want to burden you with something so trivial, Yeo. You're already s-so busy; my work troubles must seem insignificant compared to yours."
Drawing back a bit, he cupped your face, meeting your tear-filled gaze, "What did I tell you about thinking like that? Your problems, no matter how minor you think they are, bother me if they bother you. I never want you to keep things from me again, understand? Promise me you'll always come to me first, no matter what."
He couldn't help but chuckle when your only response to that was an adorable wail, finding your vulnerability endearing as you nuzzled your face against his shoulder once more, "Y-you're the best boyfriend ever, Yeo. I l-love you so much."
Placing a gentle kiss against your hair, he grinned softly, "I love you too, darling. More than you can imagine. Now, I want you to tell me every single thing that happened at your workplace today. I'm not usually one for aggression, but I won't hesitate to deal with anyone who dared make you cry."
With a light giggle, you pulled away slightly, "Oh, you wouldn't, you little Maltese."
You squealed as he playfully tackled you onto the bed, glad to see you lightening up and teasing again as he leaned in for a firm kiss.
"A Maltese, huh? I'll show you a Doberman."

✧˚ · . happy birthday (malleus draconia x reader)
summary: from what malleus understood, birthdays are supposed to be celebrated merrily with family and friends. that is why the fae was so happy to receive your invitation for your special day, but why did he find you alone and crying under the night sky?
warnings: mild angst + slight ooc (its been a loooong time since i wrote for twst 😭)
note: i hope u guys will enjoy and if you ever experienced something like this i am so sorry 🫂 + i am late for malleus birthday so i wrote for twst en 2nd anniv instead hihi
recent fics: in sickness and in health & so what are we? & when your hopeless streamer gets a girlfriend (ace x reader)
Tumblr media
for faes, time is a fleeting moment. having to watch others age and wither away, it was no surprise that malleus finds them so fragile and consistently succumb to age. and yet, malleus still discovers them to be fascinating - especially after he met you.
"are you a visitor? that's surprising. i am (name), the housewarden of the ramshackle dorm. sorry if you want to visit. our place is a little rundown right now, but how can i help you?" 
the peculiar house warden of the ramshackle dorm who never seems to be afraid while being in his presence and even asks him to be his friend. having someone other than his found family in diasomnia, he never thought he would get to learn new things after living for so long.
"oh yeah, i remember now. mal, can you come the day after tomorrow?"
"hmm? i can come here every day if you want, treasure. but why the specific date?" he watched as you became silent momentarily as if hesitating to say something before giving him your usual smile, sending butterflies raging again in his stomach. 
"nothing, i just want to celebrate my birthday with you."
imagine how he was on cloud nine after you invited him on your special day! from what malleus understood, birthdays are supposed to be celebrated merrily with family and friends. and he is very determined to make his gift the best you can get. and a determined malleus draconia won't stop finding a way to make you the happiest one on that day.
"do you think they would like this?" 
"having to receive a gift from you, my liege, is already a blessing!" sebek sobbed with tears comically running down his face, mumbling how he envied you for having the chance to receive a gift from the malleus draconia.
"oh malleus, i am sure little bat would love it." lilia chuckled, seeing the fae panicking over his present, even after spending two whole days and nights to find the perfect one to give you. 
silver, who was watching it all unfold, had a somber expression before sighing deeply. "father is right. i noticed how (name) looked like they were in low spirits earlier, i'm sure it will cheer them up." that seemed to stop malleus in his tracks; you were sad on your special day?
"silver, can you explain more about that?"
"it seems like they were having a bad day; when i greeted them a happy birthday, they looked happy for a moment before walking away looking glum."
that seemed to dampen the mood in the room, not knowing what to say. one look at his watch, lilia couldn't help but gasp in horror. 
"if you spend more time here, you will miss the opportunity to make little bat happy on their special day."
"that would be horrible. i must leave immediately!" in an instant, the dragon fae disappeared, leaving traces of green fireflies in his wake. seeing how rushed he went out, lilia couldn't help but let out a loving sigh.
"ah, young love!"
the fae appeared in his usual spot at the massive tree by your dorm, expecting to hear cheers and singing of happy birthday for you because, according to lilia, birthday celebrations are usually loud. but to his surprise, he was met with silence and a seemingly empty building.
"...oh? has the party not started yet? or is it finished?" 
malleus looks around to find any signs of you or your friends - a pout forming on his lips, feeling sad that he might have missed your birthday celebration. that is, until he passed by the field you two always walked by during your night trips. that is when he finally found you, facing the flower field while curling yourself into a ball. from where he was standing, he could see your figure shake, followed by the sound of your voice
'(name)...?'
"i just want to feel special just one time..." he watches as you try wiping the tears rolling continuously down your face but to no avail, echoes of your cries being carried away by the wind. malleus knew he should do something but couldn't bring himself to move from his spot.
because it is the first time he has ever seen you cry. 
"... i already knew i wasn't worth anyone's time," you mumbled and sighed deeply. "i am an adult now. i shouldn't feel this way. but why..." you didn't even get the chance to finish as your voice cracked at the end, lips trembling in an attempt to stop the sobs from coming out, but it was as if your body had another plan and let it all out. 
"why am i so easy to forget? haven't i done enough to be loved?" looking at the flower field ahead of you, despite the tears blurring your vision, you couldn't help but laugh. "am i that so isolated that i am talking to flowers now?"
the wind picked up for a moment before someone put their blazer around you, followed by a voice you knew all too well. "they are a wonderful companion too."
"m-mal! how long have you been standing there?" in a panic, you start to wipe your face with your sleeve and avoid eye contact with the fae, covering your face with your hands as you nervously laugh. before you could speak, cold yet gentle hands found their way to your hands. this caused you to turn your head to look straight at malleus, who was looking at you with his face filled with worry, his eyes reflecting the turmoil of his thoughts.
"give me names." you blink at the sudden statement, confused.
"what?"
"give me the names of those who made you sad today. how dare they make you cry?!" the harsh wind stirred up the fallen leaves, clouds covering the starry night as malleus frowned, his hands getting tighter and tighter as the moments passed by. one closer look at your features and he could tell you've been crying for a while now, making him angrier. 
you were silent for a moment, shadows covering your eyes after, before wrapping your arms around him, burying your head into his chest. malleus was confused. the world stopped moving around him - his heightened hearing focused on your breathing and the sound of... laughter?
"... (name)?" hesitantly, he raised his arms before slowly wrapping them around you, hearing a hum of approval. the two of you stayed in each other's arms for a minute before you broke the hug and malleus could see you looking at him.
"thank you for coming. sorry if you had to see me that way." you turn to look over your dorm and shake your head disappointedly. "i thought you would also forget my birthday. i didn't expect you to come." playing with your hands nervously and taking a deep breath, you glanced him in the eye and gave him a strained smile.
"no one remembered my birthday until sebek and silver greeted me. i thought grim, and the others were acting like they didn't know; maybe they were going to surprise me, that's all!" malleus stayed silent, watching as you tried holding back your tears while telling your story. 
"i would never expect their genuine shock after hearing it." remembering the look on your friends' faces was enough for you to feel the raw emotions over again. "it might sound petty, but i just expected better, you know?" you sniffled. 
"whenever someone in the group celebrates their birthday, they remember every detail and all; the effort is there and everything. but when it comes to me, all effort disappears." you turn to malleus, and everything breaks down.
"all i ask is to feel special just this once. for people to see me as me - not the magicless human or the one who came from another world. is it hard for anyone to see me as their friend?" feeling the strength in your legs disappearing, you would almost fall to the ground if not for malleus catching you at the last minute.
the dragon fae held your hand in his, grasping it as your hand was made of glass. "didn't you invite them like you've done with me?" even though he was angry at your friends, malleus held back the voices in his head as he remembered about you talking about them so proudly.
"i did. but there were so many activities and exams for us first years this week."
"but being busy shouldn't be an excuse." he stopped before going on after finding you listening to him. "human friendship still confuses me, but the fact that they are not exerting the same effort they have to others - aren't you being... what do they call? taken for granted?" judging from the look on your face, he knew he had hit a sore spot.
"..."
"but that doesn't mean you should see yourself as someone lacking. you are worth so much love, my treasure." he runs his hand over your cheek before grabbing his gift and handing it to you. "i know how you treasure them, and how much they adore you too. maybe they are not still used to it but never think of yourself as the problem." you opened the box and stood unblinking, trying to process what you just received before staring back at malleus, demanding an explanation.
"i don't think i deserve this." inside the box was a beautiful emerald necklace. the enchanting green emerald reminds you the same way you would get lost in Malleus' eyes.
"nonsense. this is my gift to you, something that holds my magic to protect you whenever i am not around. without you, i don't think i would ever learn the joys of being friends with you as well as falling in love." he then wrapped the necklace around your neck, feeling satisfied with how it looked on you. he knelt down and took your hand in his, giving a kiss on the back of yours before staring back at you.
"happy birthday, my treasure. sorry i am late with my greetings. i was looking for the perfect gift-" without wasting another moment, you crouched down. you shared another hug with the fae, burying your head into his shoulder. he could still feel your body shaking not from sadness but joy. his hands wrapped around your back and gave you small rubs, attempting to soothe you.
"you silly dragon, just your presence is enough for me."
"is that so?" he hummed, letting your body relax into his.
"...thank you mal."
"anything for you, dear."
bonus!
heartslabyul, savannaclaw, octavinelle, scarabia, pomefior and ignihyde gang hiding in the bush to surprise you but ended up hearing everything you just said:...
silver looking at the big group, sighing: you guys messed up big time

Series masterlist
Part 6 of this
I still can't believe writing more than 5000 words, there were times when I thought this would never come to light and it frustrated me so please give it a lot of love and let me know what you think of this chapter 🥰💖💖
As always comments, reblogs and likes are greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading 💖
My inbox is open so I'm always willing to read your headcanons, opinions and answer your questions.
Disclaimer: English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes.
Tumblr media
When the Queen was informed that Harwin had been seen leaving your chambers in the middle of the night she felt her heart skip a beat. She was afraid that for some reason you had decided to forgive your husband for his indiscretions with the princess and give your marriage another chance.
When it was time for lunch that Alicent, Larys, and you had, there was no need for the Queen or Larys to ask you about your husband's sudden visit because you told them yourself. Harwin offered to help the twins put to sleep and you accepted because you were tired Alicent instantly offered to hire more maidens to take care of the children at night so you could rest but you refused saying that you didn't want other women to take care of your children. While you were saying that Alicent couldn't help but notice that you were looking askance at Larys as if you were expecting a reaction from him but she thought it must have been her imagination because when Larys changed the subject you didn't seem disappointed or upset. Unfortunately, the Queen's worries did not disappear throughout the meal so when you left to go spend time with your sister and mother she shared them with Larys.
"I'm afraid that he will once again occupy a place in her heart," the woman admitted, clasping her hands under the table. "What happens if he convinces her to give him another chance? What if she leaves us?" As she spoke, she took off part of the cuticle of the thumb. If her father was watching her he would be scolding her. She knew it was a horrible habit but the anxiety she felt at the thought of losing you was too great. Alicent wouldn't know how to live alone as your friend again, not now that she had tasted what true love was. No one cared about her like you do.
"You heard her, she only let him stay because of the children" the man reminded her as he poured them both more wine "She will never forgive him" he declared and the Queen was envious of his trust. Larys must have noticed that her concern was great because she added "Besides, she will never leave us, especially you. She always seems to want to kill Criston Cole for daring to breathe the same air as you."
Alicent hurriedly brought the wine glass closer to her mouth to hide her smile. Larys' statement had to upset her, after all, Criston Cole is one of the few people she trusts and she should be upset that you want to hurt him, but instead, she managed to calm her down a little.
But Alicent's worries soon grew worse as the days went by because Harwin kept coming to your chambers and the worst thing was that now the two of you with the twins were walking around the castle together. At first, Larys wasn't worried that Harwin would spend time in your chambers after all you made it clear that you were only using him to babysit the twins. But now Larys felt sick every time he saw the four of them together at court. They seemed like a happy family. Aethan shouldn't look so comfortable tied against Harwin's chest with one of the special clothes your mother had ordered for you from Essos, and you shouldn't look so calm when Harwin's hand is on your back while you hold Alyn. You should move away every time his brother kisses your forehead but you don't. You're never the one to initiate the physical contact but Larys still doesn't like it, he's not sure if you're really not pulling away because you don't want to make a scene or because you're bonding with Harwin now that he's spending so much time in your chambers.
One day Larys reaches his limit. You, Alicent, and Larys are eating together again but the man instead of joining the conversation you two are having is too busy thinking about the image of Harwin with his hand on your back again while you were both talking to some Lord and how later his brother left the conversation but not without kissing you on the cheek before leaving.
"Why do you let Harwin spend so much time with you?" he suddenly interrupts your conversation with Alicent. She looks at him surprised but at the same time seems grateful for him to dare to question your closeness with Harwin since she would never do it for fear of upsetting you.
"I told you he's just helping me with the twins," you replied, frowning at his rude interruption.
"You shouldn't be depending so much on Harwin to take care of your own children."
"Larys" Alicent's intention was a reprimand but he could detect the nerves in her voice and her eyes.
Larys knew he said the wrong thing when he saw how your eyes seemed to spark and how you abruptly dropped the cutlery.
"Our" you corrected him. "And maybe I wouldn't be depending on Harwin so much if you took charge" you spat every word like it was poison.
"We should take a moment of silence before saying something that we regret," the queen proposed in an attempt to calm the waters as she tried to take your hand but you pushed her away and barely looked at her.
"It's not fair. We both knew that when you got pregnant the child couldn't know the truth" Larys said, appearing calm, not wanting to let you see that your words bothered him.
"Of course, they won't grow up knowing the truth but you're not even trying to help me" you crossed your arms. "Even Daemon and Rhaenyra seem more interested in them than you," the bitterness in your voice was clear.
And the only reason for that was because they both wanted to fuck you but Larys wouldn't tell you that because it would only make your anger worse so instead he told you the reason for his distance.
"I stay away to avoid making people suspicious"
Not wanting the court to suspect him of being the father of your children was not the only reason for his distance. The truth is that Larys had no idea what to do with the twins. He saw the immense love you had for children. Not just you, your parents and your siblings too. Everyone seemed to love Alyn and Aethan from the minute they saw them but he didn't. Of course, he was worried about their safety the second you announced to Harwin and Lyonel that he was the father. He didn't want anything bad to happen to them but he wouldn't say that he loves them and he's sure they don't either, especially Aethan because the few times he carried them, they became instantly agitated and cried demanding to come back to you. Their crying made his head hurt and he's sure it made your head hurt too so he stayed away thinking it would save both of you the stress of hearing the children scream.
"People think you're their fucking uncle, no one will suspect that you spend time together. You're family." It was obvious that you were dissatisfied with his defense by the exasperation in your voice. "And don't tell me that you're afraid that someone will realize the truth because Aethan has the same eye color as you because months went by and no one said anything. So stop being paranoid and spend time with your children" You got up from the table "I'm sorry, my queen, but I lost my appetite and I have to continue with my duties"
Neither Alicent nor Larys had any doubt that you were angry but you confirmed it when you left without even giving them both a measly kiss goodbye.
"You have to fix it," Alicent ordered, looking at him furiously. "If we lose her because of you..."
"That's not going to happen," the man interrupted, throwing his napkin at the table angrily. "I'll fix it."
Of course, after that argument, Larys couldn't allow you to get even closer to Harwin so that same afternoon he sent you a message through one of your maids. He asked you not to allow his brother to come to your chambers tonight because he was thinking of coming to see you. In the middle of the night, Larys entered through the secret passage that had your chambers hidden behind one of the paintings. A snort left your mouth when you saw him appear with a small bouquet.
"If you think I'll forgive you because you brought me flowers, you're wrong," you warned him but your anger shouldn't have been so great because you didn't leave his side when he sat next to you on the bed, in the middle were the twins lying awake. Face up they seemed entertained trying to turn around on their own. Larys was relieved that neither of them burst into tears when they saw it.
"I'm not stupid to think that, I know your character.," he said and extended the bouquet to you waiting for you to take it, you looked at it doubting whether to take it or not "It see like someone wanted it more than you" he commented when you saw Alyn stretch out her small hand as if he wanted to touch one of the flowers. "Do you mind sharing?" you shook your head and couldn't help but smile when you saw him remove a flower from the bouquet to give it to Alyn. You hurriedly pulled another flower from the bouquet and gave it to Aethan before he got jealous. "I will get better at this parenting thing. I will come at night and help you take care of them" he wanted to see your reaction but his attention went to Aethan when he saw him put one of the petals in his mouth so he moved the flower away from the baby making him squeal. Not wanting Aethan to start crying, he gave him the flower again but he had to take it away because he put the petal in his mouth again.
"Why does he want to eat it?"
You laughed as you saw the frustration on Larys's face because every time he gave the flower to Aethan he kept wanting to eat it and then squealed when Larys pushed the flower away. But he wasn't a squealer like when he was about to throw a tantrum, it was one of the ones he did when he played with you or your brothers.
Alyn must have also thought his father was making a funny face because he joined in with your laughter.
"I'm sure that at first the color of the flower caught his attention, but now he just thinks that he's playing with you," you reassure him. "Larys, I want actions, not just empty words. I want you to be there for us," you asked, returning to what your lover had said before.
And Larys showed that he was serious. He started coming to your chambers in the middle of the night to help you with the children. You noticed that at first, he seemed to struggle when they cried but after you taught him that skin-to-skin contact helped calm them down and told him that talking to babies helped too, Larys seemed to handle it well, although the first few times you had to stop yourself from laughing at how uncomfortable and lost the man looked because he had no idea what to talk to babies about. You had to tell him to stop thinking about it so much and just talk. Larys didn't make silly voices like Laena, Laenor, or Harwin but Alyn didn't seem to mind because he happily responded to his father with babbling. It didn't take long for Aethan to join in as well because she didn't want to be left out of the "talk."
You will never forget Larys' smile when for the first time he was greeted by Alyn's excited screams as soon as he saw his father enter your chambers. You feel happy with all this development, not only that but Larys also starts to join you during the day, of course not every day, but sometimes he happens once at the nursery with you or they meet by "chance" with you in the gardens and show the twins the flowers together. Even Princess Helaena joins you a couple of times but she soon loses interest in the flowers and entertains herself with the bugs she finds on the ground. At those times Larys and you have to make sure the twins don't try to put any insects in their mouths.
Everything seems to be fine again...Except for Harwin, who feels displaced when you no longer allow him to spend the nights in your chambers and starts seeing you and Larys together during the day. Harwin knows that he should be happy with the fact that you no longer seem to hate him and with the rapprochement that the two of you had during the time that he helped you with the twins. You don't seem angry when you meet him at nursery, nor do you reject him when during the day he insists on spending time with you and the twins. You don't even yell at him when he proposes that Jacaerys join the four of you. He should settle for that but he can't. He just wants to get your love back.
Tumblr media
You should not have been surprised when one of your maids came to inform you that your husband was in the princess's chambers. You didn't expect that now that you could stand his presence and have the occasional civil conversation with him, he would magically forget about Rhaenyra. You weren't stupid, you knew he was still seeing her but you hoped he would at least have a little respect for you. You couldn't believe he dared to be in Rhaenyra's chambers while she gave birth. People were already talking about you three but this would only make it worse. You didn't think they could dare to humiliate you any further, at least at the birth of Jacaerys, Harwin hadn't dared to do this.
Fury took over your body. You ignored your maid's calls as you strode out of your chambers.
You felt the blood in your body heat up, noticing that you were getting closer to your destination. You couldn't stop thinking about your hands around Harwin's neck. You wanted to kill him. But you couldn't do it. If you kill your husband you will not go unpunished and you will suffer some punishment, your death, or your exile, and the last thing you want is to leave Alicent and Larys. So you'd have to settle for making a scene.
If Rhaenyra and Harwin wanted attention then you would make a damn spectacle. Tomorrow there wouldn't be a single person who wouldn't talk about you three.
When you finally reached your destination you abruptly opened the doors making as much noise as possible. You entered, leaving the doors open with the intention that anyone who passed by could hear you. You found Rhaenyra lying on her bed with Harwin kneeling next to her and holding her hand.
All eyes were on you, Laenor looking at you with fear, the midwives tensed while the princess and your husband looked at you with pure surprise. For a moment Rhaenyra thought that you would be at her side and accompany her while she gave birth.
“I tried to get him away from her,” Laenor said quickly, from the corner, seeing the fury in your eyes not wanting to be on the receiving end of it. Not when he had struggled to obtain your forgiveness.
You ignored your brother and headed straight for Harwin. One of Rhaenyra's handmaidens thought you would try to hurt the princess so she tried to stop you by standing in front of you. You barely bothered to look at her before pushing her in Laenor's direction. Your brother, as you expected, caught her before she could fall to the floor. The screams of the other maids irritated you even more. You hadn't even put all your strength into the push, of course, they had to be just as dramatic as Rhaenyra.
“What are you doing here?” with every second that Harwin passed in silence you felt your fury grow even more, the worst thing was that he didn't seem to have any intention of separating himself from the princess because he was still holding her hand. “Why does a sworn shield need to be here? “You questioned but again you didn't get any response causing you to lose what little control you had “You can't protect her from the birthing bed, you idiot! You shouldn't be here! Do you understand how humiliating it is for me, for my children, that you are here?!” As you spoke, you raised your voice more and more to the point that you ended up shouting, you were sure that at least your complaint had been heard by anyone who was there. will be found in the hallways. You were sure that from today the court would be sure that Harwin was the father of Rhaenyra's children.
You saw Rhaenyra flinch, you didn't know if it was because of your screams or because she was having a contraction. You didn't care anyway, she did this to herself you thought. If she were smarter she would not have gotten pregnant by your husband again and much less would she have allowed him to accompany her during her birth.
“She needs me,” said Harwin, looking at you with pleading eyes, hoping you would understand, you should, you know Rhaenyra and you know that she is afraid of childbirth after everything her mother suffered.
“Harwin, we're leaving,” you demanded.
Harwin loves you but he loves Rhaenyra too so he couldn't leave her alone right now, not when she knew she was scared and needed him.
“No,” he said painfully, knowing that the little process he had done between the two of you would be forgotten. Now you would get angry but then he would work hard to win you over again.
Your dragon blood or your Baratheon blood had to have taken over your body because suddenly your hands were on your husband's scalp. Years ago you had caressed his curls tenderly but now you found yourself pulling him with all your strength, if he wasn't willing to get out then you were willing to drag him. You would embarrass him in front of the maids and anyone in the hall.
Harwin quickly let go of Rhaenyra's hand to prevent you from ending up dragging her with him. The princess didn't know what to do as she watched in shock as Laenor grabbed you by the waist and tried to pull you away from Harwin, but you didn't give in, your hands seemed to be clinging to him. All Rhaenyra could do was shake her head as one of her handmaidens approached the door ready to call the guards and silence the rest. The last thing she wanted was to get you in trouble.
“Please, sister, let go. Please,” Laenor asked desperately. He feared that at any moment a guard would walk in and you would end up having an audience with the king for disturbing the princess in the middle of her birth and attacking her sworn shield. The worst thing is that he saw you capable in your state of the fury of telling Viserys to rot for pretending not to know what was happening right under his nose, how his grandson was a bastard: "It's not worth getting in trouble for them. Please release him. If the king and queen find out about this…
He stopped talking when he watched you loosen your grip on Harwin carelessly causing his head to hit the floor. Laenor couldn't help but grimace at the noise. He had to have pushed you away instantly because you once again grabbed Harwin by the hair, lifting his head and then slamming it back onto the floor. This time when you let go, Laenor took the opportunity to lift you up and left Rhaenyra's chambers with you on his shoulder while you shouted curses in Valyrian.
They hadn't even reached the end of the hallway when Laenor stopped, a few seconds passed before he put you down. But you understood his reaction when you saw his father standing in front of you. He was looking at you angrily and again you felt like you were a little girl getting into trouble running away from your babysitters. Laenor must have felt your anguish because he took your hand and intertwined your fingers like he used to do when you were children and you were both scolded, not only that but he put his body in front of yours.
Tumblr media
"Did you expect me to stand by and do nothing while they humiliated me?" you questioned your father once he finished scolding you and Laenor. During all of Corlys's talk, your brother didn't let go of your hand and you loved him more than ever for it. He could have avoided witnessing this, he could have left you alone but he didn't. Your brother wasn't to blame for your attitude but he was still scolded for not being firm enough to stop you before making a scene. You were sure that if Laenor had excused himself, your father wouldn't have bothered to scold him later.
"You humiliated yourself," he declared. It didn't matter that he had been ranting for what felt like hours he was still angry.
His words were like a slap. Unconsciously you tried to make yourself smaller in your seat as you felt a lump begin to form in your throat. He is your father, he should be on your side, he should be furious with Rhaenyra and Harwin, not you. He should be shouting and defending your honor. But instead, he's yelling at you.
You remained silent without knowing how to respond, feeling small, pathetic, and humiliated under your father's gaze. Not being able to take it anymore you lowered your head looking at your lap. You didn't like feeling like this, you hated it.
You loved your mom. It was a silly and childish thought but if she were here you believed she would take your side. She may not agree with your actions but she would never make you feel this way.
"Tomorrow the whole court will be talking about how you lost your mind, entering the princess's rooms and beating your husband," your father said making you feel worse. You had wanted to make a scene to get people talking but you thought it would be to your benefit, you thought the court would side with the poor faithful wife but maybe your father was right, maybe in the end you would be the one who would end up badly. Perhaps Rhaenyra and Harwin would not be the ones to make the Velaryons the laughingstock of the court but you. The pain in your throat worsened at that thought. "What if this reaches the king's ears?"
"That will not happen, Father," you were surprised by the firmness in your brother's voice. "Despite the distance between my sister and Rhaenyra. The princess still has great esteem for her and does not want to get her into trouble with the king. If Viserys decided to act and punish my sister that would only encourage people to talk more about the true paternity of Rhaenyra's children" he said as he gave your hand a squeeze hoping to get you out of whatever was scheming in your head knowing that it wouldn't. It must have been nothing good."Besides, I doubt people will think my sister is crazy. "The court will side with her after all it is normal to see a woman hurt by her husband's cheating."
"A maester had to see Harwin," Corlys reminded them with a frown.
"An accident. One of the maids dropped hot water and the idiot slipped and hit his head. It's his fault for being in the delivery bed when he shouldn't be" You couldn't help but laugh at the easy lie your brother made up. You wouldn't be surprised if there were people who believed her. Laenor turned to look at you with a smile, feeling satisfied to see that you were settling back down normally in your chair instead of trying to hide. "The only thing my sister did was go yell at her stupid husband for daring to snub her like that."
Before Corlys could say what he thought about it there was a knock on the door. After your father gave permission to enter a maid reported that Rhaenyra had given birth to a second son named Lucerys and that the three of you could now go and meet him.
"Come on Laenor, we have to meet the future lord of Driftmark," the Lord said once the maid left.
The fury you felt when you heard those words made you forget any feeling of smallness that your father caused you. You could allow your father many things but not this. You weren't going to stay silent while he took away your son's birthright and gave it to Rhaenyra's bastard. You knew that your father was an ambitious man and wanted to go down in history—that's why he had pushed you to spend time with Viserys as soon as Queen Aemma died and when you didn't become queen he made Laenor marry Rhaenyra even though he knew his preferences—but you never thought he would be able to deliver the legacy of your ancestors as if nothing had happened. It was insulting. This was outrageous.
When you least expected it, your father always found a new way to disappoint you.
"You can't be serious," you said, standing up abruptly from your chair while resting your hands on the desk.
"Please don't start again," your father said as if he was treating you like a tantrum child making your fury only grow even more. You could feel your blood heat up.
"He can't be Driftmark's heir," you said, emphasizing each word to get it into his head.
"He is the son of Laenor. It is his birthright"
"He is my son in name only," Laenor reminded him. He loved Jacaerys and was sure he would soon love Lucerys too, but he still knew he couldn't give any of them Driftmark. It would be an insult to Laena, to you, to his uncles and cousins.
“And why is that?” Corlys accused him. He didn't need to say any more words, the three of them knew that he blamed the lack of legitimate children on Laenor's preferences. You would think that after years your father would have accepted it by now.
“Driftmark belongs to Aethan,” you said, watching as Laenor clenched her hands into fists clearly frustrated, putting her attention back on you “He was born before Lucerys, it is his birthright” You tried hard not to raise your voice thinking that if You looked calm and confident. Your father could listen to you for once.
“You know perfectly well that the line of succession follows the lineage of Laenor.”
“That's the point,” you exclaimed. “Lucerys has no Velaryon blood and no offense to Laenor, but we all know you will never have descendants. "You turned when you saw your brother but he didn't look offended by your words so you turned your attention to your father "If Laenor doesn't have children then the line that follows is Laena's but she still doesn't have children so until that happens follow my line. Alyn was born first so he will have Harrenhall but Driftmark belongs to Aethan.”
“Lucerys will inherit Driftmark after Laenor,” your father stated as if he hadn't heard anything you said.
“He doesn't have Velaryon blood!” you argued, losing your patience, a part of you wanted to throw yourself at the desk and beat your father to the point of exhaustion. Maybe this way he would come to his senses.
“History does not remember blood, it remembers names”
Again he was looking at you like you were a little girl, like you were stupid and couldn't understand what she was talking about. But you understood, he was always going to care more about his ambition than his family. This time you did not hide from his gaze but instead took refuge in your fury.
Nightwing shouted angrily from the Dragon's Pit.
Slapped.
Your father looked at you in shock. You didn't feel guilt or regret, in fact, you felt satisfaction. You hoped the mark of your hand would remain on his face. You weren't going to apologize, he deserved it for choosing Rhaenyra and his bastard over you and your son, his own blood.
Laenor was the first to react, taking your arm and pulling you back and then standing in front of you, ready to protect you in case his father tried to do something to you. But you weren't afraid. Your father had never hit you before and you didn't think he would start doing it now, not when you were already a grown woman, not when you could still hear the furious screams of your dragon, not when you both knew that if he dared to touch you your mother wouldn't hesitate to feed him to Meleys
“Get her out of here,” Corlys ordered, regaining his patriarchal composure.
You broke free from your brother's grip. You didn't need an escort. You could go alone but you had one last thing to say. You expected this to torment him.
“You will be the one to ruin our name, you will make us a laughing stock if you leave that child as heir.”
Tumblr media
Of course, your fury can't last forever. That's why when Larys entered through the secret passageway that your room had, he found you curled up in bed.
"Are you angry?" You turn your back on him as you feel him lift the sheets to get into the bed next to you.
Your voice was weak and unsure like you were afraid to know his answer. And Larys didn't like it.
"Just for not being able to see how you hit my brother" he replied and you wanted to laugh but it came out more like a sob making the look in Larys' eyes soften. If it was someone else they would find it annoying or feel uncomfortable but you are the exception. He just wanted to make your pain go away. "What happened?" he asked, ready to listen to you complain about Harwin and Rhaenyra.
"My father wants Lucerys Velaryon to be heir to Driftmark instead of Aethan" You turned around and dared to sneak into your lover's chest now that you knew he wasn't upset with you.
You took Larys by surprise because he didn't expect that to be the reason for your discomfort.
"That's not going to happen," he assured you as he gave you comforting strokes on your back. "Not many children make it to the age of two. Even if they do, they can always have an accident during their childhood. And if that doesn't happen, then we'll take care of Lucerys."
You should be horrified by what Larys just said and its implications. You should be scared at how calm he seems at the idea of murdering his own nephew but instead, you feel more in love with him. It's twisted but his words gave you comfort, knowing that you weren't alone in this, that you had someone on your side who was willing to do something so heinous just for you and so that your child would have his birthright. You and Larys must be crazy thinking about the death of a newlyborn baby. You're probably not as good a person as you thought and you don't know how to feel about it. You send a silent prayer to the gods and apologize for your thoughts because that's what a good person would do. You convince yourself that your fury is still poisoning your head and that's why you think of Lucerys dead. Your usual self would never think of that. How would you wish for the death of an innocent baby?
"We won't do anything," you say but both you and Larys can notice the lack of determination in your decision. But he's smart enough not to highlight it, it would only worsen your mood. "It's not Lucerys' fault that my father chose Rhaenyra over me," your voice breaks at the end and it seems like you're about to cry again.
"He didn't choose her, he chose the power he thinks she possesses," he said in an attempt to make you feel better.
"I'm sorry that your father disappointed you," he gently wiped your tears with his thumb. "But you don't need it. You have your siblings, and your mother and you have me. I'm always on your side."
At his last statement, you felt your heart warm up along with a sudden huge need to kiss him. So you obeyed your desire and leaned towards him and then captured his lips. You kissed him again and again, you tasted his lips as if it were the most exquisite wine you had ever tasted, but the thirst you felt for him did not seem to disappear.
"Be good and make me forget about today" you asked with heavy breathing.

Daddy Issues
Tumblr media
words: 1.1k
Nobody knew about your past.
Not even a bit. Your presence in Alexandria was regarded by the suburbanites as the disposition of a survivor, someone who had really been shaped by the cruel world outside the gates. Even the members of your own group, your family, didn't dare delve into the rocky landscape that was your life before the fall.
Despite the distinct mystery that followed you wherever you went, some could still sense the trauma you had ensued before. It was in the way you walked, the way you carried yourself, in your defensive impulses and your kind nature. And by 'some', this meant a certain archer who you had taken an interest in since the start.
Daryl Dixon was a man of few words, but since the beginning, you knew there had to be something else underneath his thick skin, a hidden treasure of sorts. And how right you were. You two remained by each other's side at all times, never once leaving the other in fear of losing them. If Daryl had lost you, oh God, he would have lost the one thing keeping him going, the light in his life, the oasis in the vast desert that was this harsh world. You had been so kind to him, and seeing you and your perfect smile was like medicine, and of course, he couldn't help but fall for you. He practically knew everything about you, or at least, he thought he did.
"Ya' alright?" he spoke. The two of you sat side-by-side in the front of a truck, heading out on a run. He had noticed your quietness and how it differed from your usual animated, cheerful manner. He rested both hands on the steering wheel and looked over at you. It had not been long since your father had died, out on a run, not unlike your current mission. Eaten alive by walkers, it was a terrible sight to witness for all involved, especially you, who remained silent for days after.
"I'm fine." Quite the opposite. Such a strange feeling, the man who had abused you your whole life, emotionally and physically, trapped you in the ghetto of Atlanta, and forced you to humiliate yourself to make a living, died at the hands of the new natural world? Did he get what he had coming? Did he deserve it all along? Were you supposed to be grateful, or satisfied? You always imagined that your father's death would feel like a gratifying weight lifted off your shoulders, but for some reason, you were never able to shake the trauma, the anxiety of it all. It was as if the world couldn't let you go, and you were being held hostage in your own dark memories.
Daryl might have been the most observant person you knew. You really thought you'd be able to keep the truth from him and he wouldn't know? Maybe, just maybe, it was time to let it all out. After all, if you were going to confess to anyone, it would have been him.
"I can tell you're not, ya know," he drawled.
"You remember my dad, right?" you spoke, softly and quietly. Even with his eyes fixed on the road, Daryl could sense that you were frowning.
"Ya, I remember tha' prick. Shoulda knocked him out while I had the chance." He also remembered your strong feelings against him, and how he had made a scene in the prison once by ordering you around with a less-than-polite tone. Daryl had obviously stepped in to defend you, which practically began your friendship. You thought of this often, and couldn't help but see Daryl as your protector from then on.
"Well, it's just that- I don't know, it's stupid," you began. "Can't stop thinking 'bout him. The way he died. It just- It seems wrong."
"Shit. I'm sorry, I shouldn't 've said-"
"No, it's okay. He was a horrible man." He was indeed, and though everybody shared your feelings about your father while he was with your old group, not one of them was aware of what he had done to you before the fall.
"There's- there's things I haven't told you. About him, and, about me." Daryl furrowed his brows. Of course he knew there must have been something deeper within your relationship with the man, but he never expected himself to be one whom you would share it with.
"It's alrigh'," he drawled. "Take your time."
"He hit me. All the time. Whenever he was mad or depressed or drunk, or even happy." The words came so easily, and you had underestimated how good it would feel to release some of this pressure build-up, especially to Daryl. Still, you couldn't help but let your eyes glass over as the memories came flooding back. You weren't sure, but despite the horrific things you had endured, it felt right to let it out for once.
He simply stared at you, and even with his brown hair falling over his eyes you could tell he was in shock. How could someone do something like that to you, the most beautiful person, in all ways, that he'd ever met?
"I'm- I'm so sorry Y/N. I never knew 'bout any of it," Daryl was at a loss for words.
"You wanted to know what I did before the world went to shit?" you paused for a moment, understanding that right now, you could not take any of this back.
"I was a- I was-" tears began to stain your cheeks. "I had to- I was a hooker." Silence.
Shit. How could he maintain a friendship with you after that? You were in total disbelief at your confession. Things will never go back to the way they were, you thought.
You sat there, shaking in your seat, forgetting where you were and paying no attention to your surroundings.
It was true, every part of it. You had been a hooker living in the hood of Atlanta before the fall, and you hated it. Every part of it. But there was no escape from the ghetto, and the route you had chosen to survive was safer and steadier than a life of crime. Still, every day you dreamt of a man who could take care of you, love you for your mind and soul, somebody to treat you right. Had you been shaped by the apocalypse, or had you always been like this?
"It's okay. I'm gon' take care of you. Ya don't have to worry 'bout anythin'." Daryl's soft words came like the arrival of the man you had always imagined late at night. You didn't need a man, of course you didn't. But Daryl, maybe you needed him.

MY YOUTH | SKZ NINTH AU
stray kids x ninth member!reader (platonic)
<---------- back to my youth
<---------- back to main masterlist
Tumblr media
chapter 3
genre: fluff, angst content warnings: bullying, implied death
word count: 1.2k
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Worried about who was on the other side of the door, Lou braced herself. Whatever happens, we take it with a pinch of salt, she thought, expecting it to be someone that wouldn't take too kindly to her.
She was right to expect that exact kind of person.
"So, finally decided to stop whoring around our oppas?" one girl asked as she barged into Lou's studio.
"Look, poor baby can't go anywhere without a teddy," another girl mocked as she held up a plushie of a little ginger cat.
Lou could only helplessly look around as another headache came on.
"Ouch," she said quietly to herself as she held onto her head.
"Mina-unnie, Sora-Unnie, maybe we should leave this for another time..." a girl who hovered by the doorway said, looking around in case someone appeared.
Lou shut her eyes as she saw something else in her head.
"Promise me, Louisa, that you won't stop yourself from reaching your dreams, okay? Don't do it just because of me," a woman in a hospital bed held Lou's hand as she cried.
"I promise, Mum," Lou wiped her eyes, holding on so tightly to a hand that slipped away from hers, as a machine started beeping.
"Guys, it's gone quiet in the next room, I think we need to go," the younger girl scratched her head awkwardly, watching as Mina and Sora noises around Lou's belongings.
"Hey, Lou-ser, guess you won't mind if we take these. Yah! Don't ignore us!" Sora prodded at Lou who was holding onto the wall for balance and her head in pain. Meanwhile Mina was holding onto that very plushie, sensing it meant something, and onto Lou's purse too.
"Hey look at Lou's plushie, so cute," the members of SKZ cooed as they looked around her room as part of a house tour they were doing in a vlog.
"Guys why are you all in my room?" Lou burst out laughing in her vision.
"Who got you this, so so cute," Felix held up the plushie.
"Ah, my, my mum, my eomma got it for me," Lou sadly smiled, Lee Know going up to her and giving her a hug noticing her slight discomfort around the subject.
Lou blinked her eyes seeing Mina flipping through her notebook too.
"Hey, give that back!" Lou went over to take back her own things. It felt like a big thing for her because in the normal way in her home reality she hated confrontation, but something within her now was bubbling.
"Jiah! Don't just stand there, don't let her win!" Sora hissed at the younger girl who clearly didn't want to be there. She didn't understand why her unnies chose to harass an idol, they were still trainees. This would not look good for them.
"Jiah!"
And so the girl went behind Lou and pulled her back, stopping her from snatching her own items from Mina.
"Stupid girl actually writes some decent songs, mine now," Mina tore out the most recent pages from Lou's book, nodding her head towards the door as she held onto the money and toy.
"Guys, leave her like that."
And so they left, Lou beginning to feel a horrible choked feeling in her chest. She didn't know her mum in this universe, yet she still felt the heartache of her loss and the last thing her mum must have gotten for her being taken away. She couldn't imagine losing her actual mum so having to be forced to live through a life where that was the reality wasn't all too ideal.
Wiping her tears away after doing some deep breathing to get rid of the horrible feeling, she stood up and went back to her notebook, trying to remember as many of the words she had written to 'She Plays Bass' as she could. There was a new found determination to finish the song, before any of those girls could claim it as their own and take all the credit for her hard work.
"Ah! For fuck's sake!" Lou slammed her pencil down, rubbing her temples as the next lines, which already existed, weren't flowing out as they should be.
"Woah, this a bad time?" Seungmin had popped his head through, but was clearly regretting it now as he saw the rarely angry Lou.
"No, it's just, ah maybe..." Lou stared at her notebook tiredly.
"Hey, where did Garfield go?" Seungmin said, pointing at the little seat where the plushie usually sat, shocked at it not being there.
"Ah, I lost it."
"Really? You ok?" he tiptoed around the obvious as he asked Lou, standing next to her now to gage her reaction.
"Yeah, I'll find it, I'm sure, I probably left it at the dorms earlier," Lou hummed in thought.
"Ok well, come on then, let's have some fun," Seungmin had a mischievous grin on his face.
Soon they snuck into the 3RACHA studio, seeing Changbin and Han had fallen asleep and Chan was deep into the zone with his headphones on.
"Okay, so on the count of 3, you press play," Seungmin instructed Lou as they hovered around the doorway.

'Shoot Me' by DAY6 came blasting through the Bluetooth speaker that Seungmin was holding and the two of them started crazily jumping around and dancing as Changbin and Han's screams shocked Chan out of his creative mode.
"YAH"
"AHHHHHH!"
"Guys what the f-"
"Bang bang!" Seungmin and Lou sang along whilst trying to fit the Miroh choreo to the song.
"Turn it off!"
"So loud!"
"Guys I'm on live!" Chan shouted over them, which quickly froze the two mischief makers, Lou rushing to stop the music from her phone as Seungmin did the same trying to find the off button on the speaker.
Lou slowly walked to where Chan was sat and looked over his shoulder at the screen,
"You're live?"
The comments came rushing in:
Hahaha Flo looks so confused
The way Binnie and Han jumped out of their skin 😂😂😂
Seungmin definitely made Lou do this ahahaha
How did Chan not notice ahhhhh
"Yeah, how didn't you see us?" Lou poked Chan's shoulder.
"I was too invested in showing stays how I produce," Chan rubbed his head tiredly.
"Today isn't even Sunday?" Lou carried on confused.
Han burst out laughing, "Yah, Lou doesn't know the days of the week!"
"What day did you think it was?" Seungmin laughed from his spot on the sofa next to Changbin and Han.
"Tuesday?"
Chan shook his head fondly. "We'll leave it there stays, Lou needs to go back to school!"
As Chan was doing his outro, Lou facepalmed and went off camera.
"That was so embarrassing."
"And you don't think it's not embarrassing in the normal way," Changbin joked as he sat back with his arms folded.
"I'm just going to lay here and never move again," Lou laid across all three of them, her head resting in Han's lap who automatically played with her hair. This was sort of Lou's kryptonite because she was already feeling tired.
"Hey don't make her sleepy we haven't had dinner yet," Chan turned around in his chair.
"What's for dinner?" Lou sleepily muttered.
"Bulgogi, kimchi-"
"I'm up. I'm awake!"

WISH YOU WERE HERE - WANDA MAXIMOFF X FEMALE READER
ㅤㅤ
Summary: 17 years ago, a New Jersey high school girls’ soccer team travels to Seattle for a national tournament. While flying over Canada, their plane crashes deep in the wilderness, and the surviving team members are left stranded for nineteen months. Based on Yellowjackets
Jules is portrayed by Adelaide Kane. Here.
ㅤㅤ
THIS CHAPTER HAS SERIOUS WARNINGS: +18 Angst, death, violence, blood, mentions of abuse and allusion to anthropophagy -cannibalism- if you squint; minors dni. Please, as I said before, this is going to be harder on this chapter. And I'm responsible for letting you know that, but if you don't like it, you can choose not to read it. Or skip the 'BEFORE' and go to the 'NOW'. ㅤㅤ
Author's Notes: I must clarify again, all of them are 18 years old or more. Many characters -not the main ones- will not survive, and some will act in a way that is not okay. That doesn't mean I hate them or I don't like them. I just need the story to make sense.
ㅤㅤ
CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CHAPTER SIX CHAPTER SEVEN FINALE

Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤCHAPTER SEVEN
ㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤBEFORE
ㅤㅤ
That night marked the beginning of one of the worst moments of their lives. The horror got worse when they came back to the cabin, found the worst scene they could have imagined.
Many of the girls were on a completely psychedelic and dangerous trip due to the intake of alcohol and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Others didn't seem to have survived the overdose. ㅤㅤ
Natasha ran over to Yelena when she saw her throwing up in the bushes, Kate standing next to her, completely pale. The blonde didn’t stop crying and vomiting, kneeling next to the body of her girlfriend, her best friend, her soulmate. She was gone. ㅤㅤ
The night that should have been special, turned into a nightmare that many couldn't easily overcome.
ㅤㅤ
“How did you know where to find us?” Y/N asked Jules, trying to be strong when Wanda cleaned her face so she wouldn't have infections. Y/N had a severe cut over her swollen eyebrow, cheekbone, and lip. Two huge bruises in the rib area.
ㅤㅤ
Those who were feeling better were trying to get over the nasty hangover. While those who didn’t seem to be very well, were in the kitchen.
ㅤㅤ
“It was the deer woman.” Jules murmured almost imperceptibly, covering herself with a blanket. She felt awful chills, trying not to pass out from hunger and dehydration.  “She told me to.”
ㅤㅤ
They all looked at each other not knowing what to say. Half of them were high, so they weren't going to judge her, but Y/N, Wanda and Natasha seemed pretty worried.
ㅤㅤ
Yelena frowned. “The fuck are you talking about?”
ㅤㅤ
Jules kept her blank gaze. “She said that she hates mischievous evil man… and and- I did it-”
ㅤㅤ
“What does that mean?” Nat asked this time, it was strange that Jules was the only one who managed to hear that ‘voice’.
ㅤㅤ
“I DON’T KNOW, I WAS DRUGGED!” Jules finally snapped and then began to cry. It felt horrible, and they all seemed to want to know the reason for everything. Except for Wanda, who seemed grateful.
ㅤㅤ
“Guys, you're asking too many questions and some of them can't even put two words together.” Wanda tried to bring peace. “She just saved us.”
ㅤㅤ
“She just… YOU WERE HIGH WITH FUCKING MUSHROOMS!” Hope moved closer to Jules, not in a very nice way.  “You killed someone because you were high! You killed our coach! The only adult who could guide us in this madness!”
ㅤㅤ
“Hey, don't talk to her like that!” Natasha stood up and pointed at the girl, making her step back.  “You were too while you were drooling the ground like a fucking worm.”
ㅤㅤ
“I killed him because he was going to do something to Wanda!” Jules sniffed, a little surprised that Nat stood up for her.
ㅤㅤ
“Well, we don't know now how it was because the Coach is dead!” Sharon huffed, but those words earned everyone's attention. ㅤㅤ
“Excuse me? Are you saying that I'm lying?” Wanda frowned, leaving that towel aside. Y/N was about to get up and hit Sharon, but didn’t because Wanda placed a hand on her shoulder.  
ㅤㅤ
“The fuck is wrong with you?!” Y/N screamed anyway, feeling a shooting pain due to the swelling.
ㅤㅤ
“All I'm saying is we should listen to both sides...and one is dead. Chopped. TWICE.” Sharon shook her head, perhaps a bit sorry for her words or perhaps she still believed in that.
ㅤㅤ
“I was there, he wanted to…” Wanda swallowed hard. “h-he wanted to do things against my will... And if you don't believe me, just look at Y/N's face.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N sighed deeply, trying to calm down. She was furious, especially with herself. Feeling so guilty and angry, how did she let him touch Wanda? How had she been so useless? She couldn't protect her.

FIVE DAYS LATER
ㅤㅤ
Things didn't seem to improve between them, much less in survival. According to Jennifer, they have been there for three months now, and now winter has arrived.  It could be seen in their faces, their bodies, and their spirits.
ㅤㅤ
Their lips dry and cut due to the cold, they were kept warm thanks to the fire that was lit all day. And sometimes even the blankets weren't helpful.
The worst came when some of them began to have flu symptoms, they were treated in the attic but without any kind of help, the condition progressed to pneumonia and died.
ㅤㅤ
The loss of those girls created a massive rift in them. The ones who believed that what happened to Jules had some kind of epiphany, and who just believed that it had been pure coincidence.
Strangely, those who first criticized her later began to treat her differently.
ㅤㅤ
Wanda sighed deeply and looked at the water in the bucket. Her pale hands turned red as she began to scrub the clothes. She didn't know why she did that, maybe because she didn't want to freeze to death in a corner. It was just water, they didn't even have soap anymore.
ㅤㅤ
“Are you okay?” Y/N knew it was the stupidest question she could ask, but did it anyway. Wanda was far from being okay, like all the other girls.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N was coming back from the day's hunt, which wasn't a hunt but more like wandering through the cold woods and looking for something to eat.
Her face was still hurt, although the swelling gradually disappeared, those wounds were beginning to heal slowly too., those wounds were beginning to heal slowly too., those wounds were beginning to heal slowly too.
ㅤㅤ
She took Wanda's hands, completely reddish from the cold, and caressed them to keep them warm.
Y/N knew that Wanda was having a difficult few days after Ward attacked her. Although the brunette tried to hide it, Y/N knew that the sadness inside was increasing. Nobody deserved to go through that.
ㅤㅤ
“Yeah, I'm just doing some laundry for myself.” Wanda only kept her gaze lowered, hadn't been feeling well for days.  “I don't like keep on wearing the same clothes, even if it's stupid and doesn't make sense.”
ㅤㅤ
 “Makes all the sense in the world, okay?” Y/N smiled tenderly and caressed her cheek, making Wanda look up. But even though those expressive green eyes could show all the love she felt inside, Y/N could also see the sadness and fear.
ㅤㅤ “I’m scared, detka.” Wanda said in a shaky voice, about to cry. Although she tried to be positive, everything seemed to get worse.  “I don't want to die.”
ㅤㅤ
“I won't let anything happen to you.” Y/N said worriedly, cradling Wanda's face in her hands.
ㅤㅤ
“I want to do so many things, you know? I want to go out with you on a nice date, I want to visit New York too.” The sokovian finally cried. “I want to tell everyone that I love you…”
ㅤㅤ
“Wands…” she whispered; Y/N's vision was clouded by tears.
ㅤㅤ
“I want us to go to dinner with my parents, because I know they will adore you. And- and I want to live, I don’t want to die here.” Wanda finally burst into tears, hugging her girlfriend tightly.
Y/N just closed her eyes, allowing the brunette to cry for a while. ㅤㅤ
However, when she looked up to look out the window, Y/N could only see something beautiful and terrifying at the same time. It was snowing, and that could only mean the worst.
ㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
Tired of listening to how some of them argued with each other, the redhead decided to go out for a moment even though it was cold. Nat left the cabin and noticed how Jules was wrapped in a blanket, watching the trees.  “Hey… It's cold here.”
ㅤㅤ
But Jules didn't even answer.
ㅤㅤ
“It’s snowing…” Nat continued even though the dark-haired girl still ignored her. Snowflakes fell again and again, sealing their fates.  “It used to be something beautiful.”
ㅤㅤ
“I just want to be alone.” Jules murmured, settling in between the covers.
ㅤㅤ
“It's understandable when you've got fifteen girls in there talking for three months.” Nat smirked. She was trying to be nice to Jules, for the first time.
ㅤㅤ
Natasha just sat next to her, but far from making the brunette's heart race as so many times before, Jules just kept her gaze on the trees. Lost. ㅤㅤ
“Half of them think I'm special or something, and it just freaks me out. I'm sick of it.” Jules swallowed, she hadn't been the same since the Doomcoming.  “Half of them thinks I'm crazy… Maybe I am, I don't know what to think anymore.”
ㅤㅤ
Natasha turned to see her, a warm look this time. “You saved the girls, that's what matters.”
ㅤㅤ
“I can't think about it, only the blood on my hands.” The lump in her throat made it difficult for her to speak.  “And every time I get colder and hungrier. We are.”
ㅤㅤ
She turned to see Nat, both of them sharing a moment and a necessary connection.
For the first time, Natasha felt like wrapping her arms around Jules and not letting her go. Maybe because she felt that Jules wasn't looking at her the way she used to, and that affected her.
But the cabin door opened and a blonde came out of the house, walking towards them. Carol was holding a book, quite dusty.
ㅤㅤ
“Jules, come here. You must see this.” The blonde took Jules's hand and pulled her; Carol seemed more excited than the girl. They all entered the cabin again. ㅤㅤ
“Easy, Danvers. What are you talking about?” Natasha frowned, noting that Jules didn't seem to want to but she did it anyway.
ㅤㅤ
“We found this book behind some old wood in the attic, under where we found the symbol, remember? The rare symbol under the guy's corpse.” Carol exclaimed excitedly.  “You are the link with what surrounds us, with the wilderness. That horned or deer woman whatever, it’s… it’s the wilderness.”
ㅤㅤ
They all seemed quite confused, especially Y/N who was coming out of the kitchen with Wanda.
ㅤㅤ
“I’m not-” Jules said, her lips twitching uncomfortably. “I was just hallucinating.”
ㅤㅤ
“We found this in the stuff of the guy who lived here.” Helen Cho picked up the book and brought it closer so they could read it.  Jennifer looked at it a bit skeptically.
ㅤㅤ
‘Deer Woman and the Myth…’ Jennifer couldn't finish reading what it said, the book was destroyed by mold.   ㅤㅤ “It says here that the deer woman hunts men who have hurt women or children. She punishes them. See?” Helen and Carol looked excited. “It's what happened to you!”
ㅤㅤ
“That's not what happened.” Jules frowned, already more tired of all this. She's sick of everyone expecting something different than what it really was. “I killed Ward, I was high, that fucker was abusing one of my friends, that’s it.”
ㅤㅤ
“Yes, but-”
ㅤㅤ
“You both are taking this too far! This is just a stupid book full of myths and legends.” Natasha finally intervened between them.
ㅤㅤ
“Well, I do wanna know what it says there.” Sharon stepped forward, crossing her arms, ready to face them.
ㅤㅤ
“A lot of stuff in French but-” Helen muttered, opening the book and pointing to several old yellow pages. “It looks like the guy wrote some things at the bottom of the book.”
ㅤㅤ
“…‘she… it wants blood’.” She tried to translate the French, narrowing her eyes.  “Spill blood and you will get what you want. Something like that.”
ㅤㅤ
“That’s creepy.” Yelena frowned, walking away from that book. ㅤㅤ
Pietro came over to take the book and look at it, those girls were definitely starting to lose their minds. “I knew that guy was up to no good. Burn this now if you don't want to go crazy.”
ㅤㅤ
“But if you think about it, he's right. The guy.” Carol tried to convince them, or perhaps convince herself to believe in something before giving up and die there.
ㅤㅤ
“What are you talking about?” Y/N finally snapped. “He killed himself!”
ㅤㅤ Wanda stayed by her side, watching everything.
ㅤㅤ
“No, but... Every time someone dies, the wilderness rewards us with something.” Helen seemed so excited about it, she looked crazier than usual and that was already a lot. She used to be quite a quiet girl. “When Ward and the girls died, that boar came to us and let you kill it, remember? We ate for days… When Monica died of pneumonia a month ago, that flock of birds crashed into our cabin.”
ㅤㅤ
The mention of Monica made Pietro clench his fists, but he said nothing. Just let the others take over.
ㅤㅤ
“That was pure coincidence!” Y/N chuckled wryly, couldn't believe what she was hearing. “We were lucky! That’s it!”
ㅤㅤ
“You don’t know that!” Sharon snapped. “Maybe we should give that thing more deaths to feed us.”
ㅤㅤ
“What the fuck, Sharon?!” Natasha's eyes widened. She went too far.
ㅤㅤ
“Have you gone completely crazy?” Y/N yelled, several seemed quite surprised or pissed by the blonde's words, others not so much.
ㅤㅤ
“I'm starving, and don't act like everyone doesn't think the same!” The blonde reached out to take the book from her friend's hands and pointed at them.  “We are weak, we barely manage to wake up in the morning and get more wood!”
ㅤㅤ
“Yelena can't even catch a fucking fish, you're closer to catching a cold-” Hope added.
ㅤㅤ
“сука! The lake is fucking frozen!” Yelena yelled angrily, also insulting her in Russian.
ㅤㅤ
“It's winter, the lake froze over and we haven't eaten anything but bug or belt soup for a fucking week.  A FUCKING LEATHER BELT.” Sharon got fed up and took off, going up to the attic. Many girls followed after them, clearly choosing a side.
ㅤㅤ
Y/N and the girls looked at each other, knowing that this would bring nothing but madness.
ㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
Y/N sighed deeply, feeling how the cold froze every part of her skin. They were lucky to have a few furs and clothes to survive outside for at least a  few hours. Their noses and sensitive parts of their faces were red and bruised from the cold. Nat walked beside her, trying to brush away the snow as they walked through the trees.
ㅤㅤ
“They're acting strange.” Y/N whispered, Natasha loaded the rifle ready to shoot whatever they saw.
ㅤㅤ
“I know. What Sharon said yesterday... they're losing their minds.” The redhead wrinkled her nose and pointed towards one of the trees, thinking that maybe it was a bird but then she noticed that it was just leafs. “Fuck! We all are. I thought that was a damn bird.”
ㅤㅤ
“I don't know what's wrong with them but if Sharon looks at me like that again, I'm going to throw her off a cliff.” Y/N growled, climbing a huge rock to observe some movement around them, but only saw snow and trees.
ㅤㅤ
“We’re hungry. We need to eat protein, and it's already started to snow. Yelena can't fish anymore, and we can't find anything.”
ㅤㅤ
Y/N looked worried. Natasha was always their leader, ever since she joined the team. If she didn't know what to do, then they were lost. “What are we going to do?”
ㅤㅤ
 “I don’t know.” Nat looked at her sadly, there were only a few more hours to walk before the sunlight went out.
ㅤㅤ
Hours later, both returned to the cabin completely exhausted and discouraged. They had found nothing, not even a wretched worm to catch.
They all looked at them hopefully, like every afternoon, but they did not bring empty hands.
ㅤㅤ
“You’re okay?” Wanda asked quickly, reaching out to help them remove their clothes and move them closer to the fire. They could take a hot bath in the tub with water that they heated on the firewood, but sometimes it was better to only do it in extreme cases.
ㅤㅤ
But Sharon intervened, arms folded, growing weary. “AND? Did you get anything?”
ㅤㅤ
Neither said anything, they simply kept their gazes on the flames that flared as much as Sharon's anger. Y/N shook her head.
ㅤㅤ
“I see you guys come back empty-handed like the losers you are, and I thought you couldn't be more useless.” The blonde spat, moving from one side to another like a caged animal. Now it wasn't just Sharon, but some of the girls. “You two are death itself.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Do you want to say it to my face? Huh?” Y/N finally snapped, rushing towards her but Nat stopped her. “I’ll fucking kill you! I'm done with you!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Do it, PLEASE, at least we would have something to eat!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The screams drew everyone's attention, who came into the room worried. Natasha kept trying to stop Y/N, but Sharon made it pretty difficult by saying that stupid thing. “Don’t say that! What the hell is going on with you?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We already tried your options, and it got us nowhere. You two go hunting every day and come back empty-handed.” Some girls nodded.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It's hard when there's nothing but damn snow!” Y/N huffed. “The river is frozen-”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We have nothing else to eat but the bones of the birds that crashed into the cabin, and I'm sick of dead bird soup!” Sharon spat out the poison, turning to look at the others. “This is fair… Who thinks we should try our option now?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Sharon, I understand that you always wanted to be the center of attention, but shut up already.”   
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We have already tried, letting you go hunting and they have not brought anything.” This time it was Carol who said that, surprising her friends especially Y/N and Jules. “Maybe it's time to try something new.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N narrowed her eyes.  “What do you mean, Carol? You can't be serious.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Someone has to die.” Helen held up the book, pointing to the pages.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda just opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she was saying. She just shook her head, taking Y/N's arm to calm her down.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You’re insane.” Jules laughed wryly.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You can't do this, it's madness.” Natasha giggled sarcastically, she really couldn't believe the stupidity and ignorance she was hearing.  “It's an old book by a fucking suicidal guy! doesn't it tell you something?!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Sorry? Have we gone back to the time where we had to sacrifice people?” Wanda said annoyed and disgusted just thinking about it. “Have we gone that far?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Well, you tell me, four-eyes. We are heating water in pots and living by candlelight.” Sharon hissed.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I TOLD YOU DON'T CALL HER THAT!” Y/N pushed her, Sharon responded in the same way until they were all separated again. Pietro seemed to hold back, keeping to a corner. If Y/N hit her, he would be very proud.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Everyone, choose NOW.” Sharon pointed at everyone.  “I'm sick of useless leaders. We are less and less, and the most coherent way is for one of us to sacrifice herself for the others, going away.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Jennifer put a hand to her face, trying not to hit her for the nonsense she was saying. Y/N, Wanda and the others were the same. ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Helen nodded. “When wolves know that they are going to die, they know they are a burden to the pack. They just go away to die alone.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We're not a pack of wolves.” Nat added, rolling her eyes and putting her hands on her waist.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is the way we'll do it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ 
“Sharon… you’re going insane.” Y/N moved closer until she was in front of the blonde, but Sharon just looked at her with enormous anger and envy.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“YOU ALL. Vote right now, who wants to keep eating bug soup or do something about it.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
First, they were all quite doubtful whether to do it or not. They didn't want to cause more trouble, but at the insistence of both, they began to raise their hands.
Those who wanted to keep following Y/N and Natasha, or who wanted to try Sharon and Helen's way. They were seven against eight.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Oh no.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N frowned, seeing how some of them looked at her with pity but they had already decided, betraying them. The last one to give the final vote to them was Carol.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Good.” Sharon smiled.  “We'll make it easy. Pass me the deck.”  
ㅤㅤ
The blonde took the deck of cards that Hope gave her and showed them one of the cards. The Queen of Hearts. “We will take a card, and the one that draws the Queen of hearts... is the one who must go and face the wilderness.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha chuckled wryly, shaking her head. Really hurt by how crazy they were getting. “Oh, you guys had everything planned out perfectly while we were away, didn't you?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I understand that being hungry can make you all impulsive and reduce your fucking ability to make decisions in the long run, but this is wrong.” Y/N added.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
She took Wanda's hand to get away from that group and go up to the attic, feeling enormous pain for their betrayal. “So fucking wrong.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤ
Gathered in the attic and illuminated by a gas lamp, Y/N looked at the door before approaching her friends. There were Wanda, Natasha, Yelena, Jules, Pietro and Jennifer.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is crazy.” Y/N whispered, watching them with concern. “We must stop them.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha sighed. “What do you suggest to do?”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is my fault, they're crazy because of what I said when I was on mushies. I'm sorry.” Jules mumbled, her gaze completely lost.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is not your fault. Hunger is having a serious effect on them, it’s affecting them psychologically." Wanda leaned over to take the girl's hand, squeezing it softly. Thanks to Jules she was alive, she didn't care if was dancing naked to some weird god while she was high, Jules saved them.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“They're planning to kill us one by one.” Jennifer glanced at the attic door out of the corner of her eye, a little worried. “They were our friends.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Not mine, tho. They hated me a little.” Wanda scrunched her nose.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Maybe they're just bluffing.” Y/N just closed her eyes, completely stressed and in pain.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I don’t know…” Natasha narrowed her eyes. “Remove the bullets from the rifle… None of them are to be trusted now.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
That small group looked at each other and nodded.
Tumblr media
The world is a vampire, sent to drain.
Gathered in a circle, they all looked at each other in front of the cabin. That place where long ago they had celebrated together, laughed and danced.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The cold began to burn their skin while Helen brought the book, the others carried the skull of the deer they hunted that first time. Like a divine message, inside the cabin, the fireplace burned fiercer than ever.
Y/N and Natasha looked at each other worriedly. This was insane.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We need to find a way to stay alive.” Helen said and lit one of the candles on the skull. Carol brought that deck of cards to which they whispered: ‘We hear The Wilderness and it hears us.’
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is fucked up.” Y/N whispered, but no one paid attention.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda settled next to her, holding her hand tightly and Pietro's on the other side.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Carol held up the queen of hearts card for everyone to see, then arranged it in the deck, shuffling it well so it would get lost among the others.
Now everything depends on luck or wilderness.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Carol pulled out her card, followed by Sharon and Helen, who pulled out others. Neither was the queen and that made them sigh. The blonde approached Natasha, who just snorted.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Do it or it will be you.” Sharon ruled, approaching with a menacing look. Swallowing, the redhead looked at her with a deathly glare and took a card. It took her a few seconds to show it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Eigh of spades.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Next was Jules, who with trembling hands took the card and looked at it before showing it.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Five of diamonds.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The brunette sighed and Carol approached each of them, who were taking a card until she reached Y/N. Keeping her gaze up, Y/N walked over to take a card.
Before looking at it, she clenched her jaw and lifted it up.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ Ace of Clubs.
ㅤㅤㅤ
The girl just swallowed and handed the card back to Carol, staring at her. The blonde seemed so guilty, couldn’t even keep her gaze on her friend.
The sokovian smiled and exhaled leaving that fear, feeling an enormous release when she saw that Y/N was safe.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The next one was Wanda, who moved a little nervously but Y/N smiled slightly at her, trying to make the girl feel safe.
Before everyone's gaze, who looked like enormous birds of prey, Wanda inhaled deeply and took the card from the deck, closing her eyes and praying she wasn't next. When she turned the card over, Wanda knew that the die was cast.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Queen of Hearts.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N's body tensed upon seeing the card, when it fell to the ground because Wanda's hands began to shake.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Half of them gasped while others looked at her like she was dinner.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“This is the way we all made the deal.” Sharon closed the book and walked over with the hunting knife, handing it to Carol.  “You can submit or you can run.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“The fuck?!” Natasha stepped forward, as did her friends, shielding her. Pietro stepped in front of his sister, about to go at whoever it was. But even though they tried, the other girls surrounded them.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Especially when Sharon raised the rifle, pointing it at Pietro’s chest. “It’s what we all agreed on. Stay away or I will shoot.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“That rifle has no bullets.” Y/N scoffed.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“There's one on the rifle, one on my pocket… that I took before you guys went hunting yesterday.” Sharon smiled all smug and then loaded the gun, making the cartridge jump, proving her right. “I won't ask again. MOVE.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
They all tensed, but Wanda moved forward leaving them behind. Her huge green eyes showed the fear she felt, as well as the tears.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“We're not really doing this, are we?” Y/N giggled and took a step towards Wanda but one of them stopped her.  “Come on, it was just a joke. You can't do this shit.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
But none of them listened, the only one who seemed concerned was Carol. Pietro managed to punch one of them and moved forward but another hit his stomach, crumpling him.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“It’s Wanda, she saved and healed your wounds.” Y/N tried again, watching as her girlfriend closed eyes and let the tears fall.  “You all actually lost your minds!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
They all started screaming as Sharon advanced with the knife on Wanda.  “Things must be done as the wilderness commands.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Don't you dare touch her.” Pietro hissed, trying to get free but three of them held him now.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Don’t do this… This doesn't make any sense.” Jules prayed that they would open their eyes, leave the madness behind.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Turn around.” But when Sharon raised the knife, Y/N exclaimed in despair:
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“I volunteer!” Y/N took a step forward, not knowing what that meant or what was going to happen, but she would do anything to save Wanda’s life. “Let it be me!”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You can’t do that.”  Wanda shook her head quickly. Now the fear was much worse.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Yes, she can.” Sharon cut her off, then pulled out the hunting knife and gave it to Carol.  “If wilderness accepts it, it is.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N took a step forward, taking courage, for the first time in her life. Her friends tried to stop it but Sharon pointed at them again.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Turn around.” Carol ordered, swallowing hard. Y/N just swallowed and turned around slowly and awkwardly, feeling how her muscles hardened. She didn’t know if it was because of fear or cold.
Y/N looked at her friends for the last time, who only seemed to cry and scream. The coldness of her knife blade made her jump.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N gasped. “Wait!” ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Bravely, she took Carol's hand and turned to face her once more. Her hands and legs trembled like jelly.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Not like that.” Y/N turned to face Carol, feeling how tears fell down her face. Like her, Carol allowed herself to shed tears as well. “You're gonna have to look me in the eye… if you're going to slit my throat, do it by looking me in the eye.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
For the first time, Carol hesitated. She pressed her lips together, trying not to cry but it was impossible.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Don’t do this to me, Y/N.” Carol whimpered, feeling her hand shake. The edge of the knife began to scrape Y/N's skin, but the seconds passed and she couldn't. “I can’t.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The blonde’s voice cracked. “You’re my friend.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The Y/N team sighed in relief.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You've always been good at kicking but never at using your head.” Y/N murmured whimpering too, remembering the times both participated in the best plays together.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The blonde came closer to whisper something in her ear, without removing the knife from Y/N’s neck. But with her free hand, Carol hugged her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N?” Carol whispered with a shaky voice. “The rifle only has one bullet on the barrell. Just one.”
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“What?” Y/N whispered too, widening her eyes in fear.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Run.” Without further ado, Carol pushed her away towards the door and lunged at Helen to punch her, allowing Y/N to escape.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“You fucking traitor!” Sharon screamed and shot Carol in the chest, taking her life instantly. At the horrified scream of the other girls, the blonde ran after Y/N leaving the rifle but taking the axe.
Nat and Jules rushed over to Carol to try to help her and stop the blood but it was impossible. The lost look and pale face of the girl only showed that she died. ㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Stay here and keep them here.”  Pietro told his sister before going out the door.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Pietro, please.” Between tears, Wanda prayed that her brother and Y/N were okay.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Are you running? Is that your choice?!” Sharon ran after Y/N between trees. Screaming and howling like wild animals, she and Helen ran across the Canadian arctic tundra.
While running on the cold snow, Y/N looked back when she heard a horrible human howl.
ㅤㅤㅤ
They were crazy, they had lost their minds. They shot Carol. She stopped behind the huge tree, trying to lose them.
Y/N closed her eyes when she heard the footsteps of those girls, following her way.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N tried to hold back crying, just clenched her jaw and closed her eyes. She was so afraid, like never before.
Y/N didn't want to die, she didn't want to leave this world, she wanted to have a girlfriend, be a better person, choose a good career at any college that would accept her. It wasn't fair to end her life like this.
ㅤㅤㅤ
It wasn’t fair.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Her heart was pounding so hard, she thought her eardrums would burst soon.
Y/N’s eyes widened when she heard their howls approaching again, so the girl ran back in the opposite direction. She knew this place, traveled it thousands of times more than them. ㅤㅤㅤ
“Use your head, Y/N.” She told herself before taking one of the paths towards the lake. Behind the lake was the place she found long ago, where she and Wanda used to hang out. That place would be good to hide, yes.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N ran across the frozen white lake, despite the stumbles and pain. Despite the cold she felt, she ran with all her might.
Especially when she heard how they were running after her in the lake. But after a few minutes, the terrifying sound of crack made her stop short, fear paralyzed her.
ㅤㅤㅤ Slowly, the ice around her began to crack but if she didn't move, everything would be fine.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Of course, the others didn't seem to have noticed, so when Helen and Sharon ran towards her desperately, Y/N turned to see them taking a step back.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You’ll die.” Sharon raised the axe.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We all will eventually.” Y/N swallowed and waited for the end. She stomped on the ice below them and it shattered completely, causing them to fall into the frozen water.
ㅤㅤㅤ
The frozen water threatened to freeze her lungs.
Y/N swam into the water and tried to rise to the surface, but something grabbed her leg, pulling and sinking her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Sharon insisted on haunting her life, even to take Y/N with her. ㅤㅤㅤ
They struggled underwater until slowly their hands lost the strength to continue. Y/N saw with sadness how the light was lost in Sharon's gaze, she was gone.
Sharon's frozen hands were still clinging to her jacket, pulling it down.
ㅤㅤㅤ
And soon she would be gone too.  Feeling how the last breath and air escaped from her lips, Y/N closed her eyes.
But at the last moment, like a miracle, a hand grabbed her arm and pushed to the surface. Not just her, but Sharon as well.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Pietro helped Y/N out of that hole, both desperate for as much air as their lungs would allow, even though it hurt like thousands of daggers.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Th-thank you.” Y/N stammered shivering with cold. She took Sharon's arm and they both pulled that body out of the water. “Why risk your life for two corpses?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“B-because you deserve to live, you m-make my sister happy like I've never seen her… and as I told you before, you're a good l-leader.” Pietro was shaking too, getting up slowly and helping Y/N to do the same. "And her? We d- we don't want them to think we killed her, you both fell into the r-river. We'll b-bury her like the rest.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
When they both arrived at the cabin with Sharon's cold body, they all seemed quite surprised and sad at the same time.
Sharon's madness had brought everyone to a point of no return, especially for Y/N and Carol.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Completely frozen, the first to take the hot bath was Y/N, who wouldn't stop shaking. Pietro spent a long time in front of the fireplace, until the bath was ready. Of course, that decision would cost him dearly.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
Her gaze was so lost in the flames of the fireplace; how had everything become so terrifying?
Y/N felt like something inside of her completely snapped. Deeply broken. Perhaps being about to die slit by one of her friends, or seeing that friend die in front of her, plus they hadn't eaten well for three months.
ㅤㅤㅤ
It was all so painful that she allowed herself to shed a few more tears.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Hey.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha's soft voice caught her attention, but Y/N couldn't take her eyes off the fire.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Asking if everything was alright seemed fucked up, so the redhead decided to go for the best she could: “Is there anything I can do to ease the pain?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N finally looked at her with a look full of sadness but also kindness.  “Where’s Wanda?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“She's with Pietro in the attic, taking care of him. I think he has a slight fever. Jules is helping too.” Natasha sighed and sat down next to her best friend.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N looked down, feeling quite guilty. Pietro risked her life for her and now he was fighting to stay alive. With all her heart, she hoped Wanda didn't hate her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m sorry, Y/N.” Nat said with a lump in her throat, her green eyes brimming with tears.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N just nodded slowly and sighed deeply, she must be strong. For all the girls who were left.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We can't bury them, the ground is frozen and the snow...” Y/N whispered, she couldn't go on.
ㅤㅤㅤ Natasha nodded, surprised.  “We have to burn them.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah…”
ㅤㅤㅤ
With Jenn and Yelena’s help, they took Carol and Sharon's body to the pyre they had made with some logs and branches. While the sun was hiding on the horizon, the fire began to lick the branches and the bodies of those girls hungrily.
The rattling of the fire was all that could be heard.
ㅤㅤㅤ
With sadness and a few tears, they watched from the window as the fire burned the bodies of those who were once their friends. ㅤㅤㅤ
But after a while, as a horrible dark monster deep inside them woke up, the smell reached them and tortured them. A monster awakening in the need for survival, awakening thousands of thoughts and feelings that made them conflict.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N swallowed as fire lit their eyes. All of them, sharing the same moral battle.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Y/N?” For the first time, Natasha sounded completely fragile. Y/N turned to see her, noticing the sadness and disappointment in her green eyes. Self control.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Her full lips trembled.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m so hungry... it's hurting me.” Natasha wept, so ashamed of herself, feeling her eyes fill with tears. “I don't want to do this, but I feel like something is in me... something so bad… so hungry.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N remembered Wanda's words, completely heartbroken. “I'm scared. I don’t wanna die here. I wanna live.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
And those words marked her like hot steel on her skin.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We need to survive.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
The hours went by and Wanda didn’t abandon her brother.
The cold and the heat, the tremors in Pietro's body. The tears that she was tired of shedding. Jules decided to go down for a moment to discuss the situation with the girls, Pietro seemed to be fighting a high fever and cough.
ㅤㅤㅤ If he didn't make a recovery, he could progress to complicated pneumonia and that wasn't a good prognosis.
ㅤㅤㅤ The sokovian sighed, watching how Pietro managed to calm down for a moment, grateful that someone was going up to the attic.
ㅤㅤㅤ
She turned quickly when she heard the voice of Y/N, who sat next to her. In her hands, Y/N brought a steaming bowl which made Wanda's hopes revive.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Hey, babe.” Y/N smiled slightly, with a certain sorrow.  “I brought something for both of you. My favorite sokovian team.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda just looked at her with teary eyes and nodded, glad to see her there. “Thank you, detka.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
The brunette kissed her cheek carefully and took the bowl to bring it closer to her brother, so she could feed him.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What is it?” Wanda frowned, curious.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“It will keep him alive.” Y/N replied without elaborating, hoping she would understand that the idea was to survive.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda looked at her for a moment, not knowing what to say. Words were unnecessary at that moment. She just took the bowl and nodded, moving closer to Pietro who was burning with fever.
If they wanted to survive, they had to try.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤNOW
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N returned to the living room, noticing that Nat and Wanda kept chatting pleasantly. She smiled, thinking about how beautiful the brunette looked today And when their eyes met, this time in a very different way, Wanda smiled.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“So…” Jules walked past her, snapping her out of her daydreaming.  “You both suggested we meet, and I must say that a delicious spaghetti is cooking in the kitchen so…” Jules sat next to her wife. “We have a while to chat.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah, I’m surprised these two are not killing each other.” Nat arched an eyebrow. Wanda and Y/N looked at each other for a moment and said nothing, sitting down on the sofa. ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yep, well… ” Wanda started, sitting next to Y/N. “We have something to tell you.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“WANDA has something to tell you.” Y/N quickly corrected it.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Coward.” The sokovian whispered, shaking her head. She took a deep breath to take courage and finally express that great secret.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We found out the person who is blackmailing us.” She pursed her lips, Y/N just nodded watching her friends widen their eyes in surprise.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“That's great, let's go find this asshole right now.” Natasha got up from the sofa, ready to go but then she stopped when she saw how her friends shook their heads.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah… We already found him.” Y/N narrowed her eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What do you mean?” Jules frowned.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“The blackmailer was Vision.” Wanda finally let go, and closed her eyes when her friends yelled 'WHAT' at the same time, again.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda took the time to explain everything that happened with Vision, and why he did it. Of course, that didn't seem to matter much to Natasha, who seemed completely furious.
Especially after knowing that he was to blame for beating her pregnant wife.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Then everything is fine, besides that he will return the money to Y/N…” Jules placed a hand on her chest, feeling her soul return. “What happened is still safe with us.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Does Vision know what we did?” Natasha frowned as she leaned over to pick up a can of soda. Ever since Y/N came back, no one drank alcohol around her. Not because she wanted to, but to respect her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“He knows nothing, nor will he say anything. I swear.” Wanda sighed. Y/N placed a hand on Wanda's back, as a sign of support. But that made their friends look at them curiously.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What we did…”  Jules began somewhat thoughtfully. “It's not easy, for none of it was.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Leaving that weight behind takes a lot of pain and time and we have all paid for it.” Y/N nodded. “We tried to survive, and the others as well.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“They lost their minds, and how not to? We spent a year and a half in the forest.” Natasha said with some regret, looking down. There were no days where she didn’t remember her friends, her team. “And we did it too.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Was there really something there? Playing with us?” Y/N hesitated to ask but did, she needed to know.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We will never know, but that horror must be left behind.” Nat sighed heavily.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm really sorry for everything that happened to us. Every night I pray to whoever, that they are okay. None of them deserved that.” Wanda said and they all remained silent for a moment, remembering her brother. ㅤㅤㅤ
After a moment of silence, listening to some soft music, Jules cleared her throat.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Changing the topic…” The black-haired girl bit her lower lip and looked at Natasha, who smiled tenderly.  “We want to tell you something.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
She looked at Nat who squeezed her hand and nodded, giving the okay to finally let go. One of the most important moments of their lives.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We’re pregnant.” Jules let out an excited squeal. “We are going to be moms!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda and Y/N opened their eyes wide, as big as their smiles. Finally some joy came into their lives, after so much pain.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“OH MY GOD!” Wanda squealed. “That’s amazing!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Dude, we’re having a baby!” Y/N screamed too; they both tried to fake surprise. But Natasha was a really good detective, and Jules was too empathetic.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Yeah, you told her already, don't you?” Nat narrowed her eyes and threw a cushion at Y/N. “You dumbass!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You had to open your big mouth!” Jules did the same, attacking Y/N with pillows, laughing.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“SORRY, I WAS SO  HAPPY. I COULDN'T CONTAIN MYSELF!” Y/N exclaimed between laughs, trying to cover herself with the pillows.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sorry, detka, I don't know how to lie.” Wanda scrunched her nose and laughed. “I couldn't help it.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You're very lucky I love you.” Y/N winked at her, playfully. But her friends soon noticed, they stopped short, still holding the cushions in their hands.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Wait, you… you two are-?” Jules narrowed her eyes and smiled happily, pointing at them. “You bitches. You finally did it.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“No, really? they don't stop ogling each other, have you noticed it NOW?” Nat continued with the joke and they all laughed.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
After a delicious dinner, some smiles and knowing glances, Y/N was with her sister in the kitchen, washing the dishes while Wanda and Natasha chatted in the living room about being a mom.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules passed one of the dishes and Y/N dried them. Although Nat offered to buy her a washing machine so many times, Jules always said that washing the dishes relaxed her.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm so glad you're okay, you both trying to do this right.” Jules smirked, glancing sideways at Y/N. “You look much happier and healthier, I am very happy to see you like this. You deserve it.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N smiled and nodded. “I feel... so much better than before.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
She stopped for a moment, thinking well about the words she would use.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Every morning when I wake up and every night when I go to sleep, I stop feeling that deep dark hole inside of me. I'm beginning-... I'm beginning to think that maybe something good could happen to me.” Y/N's voice showed how hopeful she felt. Jules turned quickly to see her, her eyes showed how moved and proud she was.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm so proud of you, Y/N. Mom would be too.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You think so?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I do.” Jules nodded and looked down to turn off the faucet and hand her the last plate.  “You deserve to be happy, so does she, you have no idea what Wanda was like before you came. I don't know what you two have been doing all this time, but I have to tell you, she looks... happy. Glowing.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N smiled and nodded, wiping down the plate. “You know, I was thinking about what you said today? About what we did.”  she swallowed. “I let all of that get to me, and what we went through later with Mama Claire... I left you alone and I'm so sorry.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We can't fix much of what we did, but we can do better. Every time we can.” Slowly, Jules reached out to hug and rest her head on Y/N’s shoulder. After a moment, she dared to speak, somewhat embarrassed. “I'm so afraid.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Afraid of what?” Y/N looked down, noticing Jules's blank look.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sometimes I feel like this little baby deserves so much better.” The woman bit her lower lip, releasing one of her deepest fears. “I’m so lucky to have Natasha by my side, but I'm so scared, you know? I feel like something…something won't let me forget what I did there. Fucking Ward.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
She swallowed, feeling Y/N's hand caress her back affectionately.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Don't let fear or the past take away the most beautiful moments of your life. You’ll be an amazing mom.” Y/N said in a low voice, taking Jules's hand, smiling when she rested on her shoulder again. “Wonderful, kind, funny. You know math, that’s a lot, dude. Am I forgetting something else?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh stop it, you're just flattering me.” They both laughed and Jules patted her.  “But i’ve to say… you will be a great godparent.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Those words took Y/N by surprise, who turned to see her so surprised. “What?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Jules nodded, smiling. “You in?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Completely shocked and excited by the choice of her friends, she didn't know which emotion to show first. She felt happy, surprised, a little terrified of screwing it.  “Are you- are you sure?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“So sure.” She giggled when Y/N hugged her so tight, like a huge bear. “With my whole life. We are cousins, but we grew up together as sisters. Except for Natasha, there's no one who knows me like you do… And I know that there will be no one in this world who will take better care of my little one.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You know Wanda would do better, she has experience with kids.” Y/N whispered, looking down for a moment while her friend poured three cups of coffee for them, one cup of tea for herself.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Well, you guys are together, aren’t you?” Jules winked at her.  “Then it’s the same. Also the other godparent will be Yelena. So this baby will go crazy!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
They both shared a laugh, before returning to the room, Jules took her arm.  “I love you, Y/N.” She caressed her cheek with unique softness, her brown eyes brimming with tears. “My sweet brave Y/N. I am proud to be your sister.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Completely moved by her words, Y/N smiled.  “I love you so much, Jules.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Tumblr media
And the months passed quickly, especially when you're happy. ㅤㅤㅤ
Natasha and Jules were able to enjoy every month of the pregnancy. Of course, the redhead became very protective of her wife, and their little bumblebee. Although they could have figured it out long ago, they decided not to find out if it was a boy or a girl until birth.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N always showed how proud she felt to be the godparent, although it always unleashed adorable fights with Yelena to see who was better auntie or with which of the two the baby kicked the most.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Beating all the odds, Y/N stayed sober all those seven months.  By attending a NA group and a new therapist, the dark haired woman was able to leave behind much of what was hurting her to start anew.
And Wanda was a big part of the new hope inside her. The relationship with Wanda improved a lot.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Since they had spent the first night together, the dates became more frequent. Of course, the sokovian seemed to want to go slow, it was the best for both, but at the same time they both wanted so much more.
Y/N also worked hard to make her feel safe, patiently winning her heart.
The twins fully understood that their parents were divorcing because they were no longer happy together. That Vision was in love with Virginia and that Wanda was in love with Y/N. ㅤㅤㅤ
The first time they met, Y/N was terrified. She hesitated many times whether to knock on the door or run away but finally, she decided to face all her fears for Wanda. Because she deserved it, they both deserved a chance. Incredibly, she made the best decision of her life.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“So, do you like it?” Y/N asked as she cut up some mini sandwiches and brought them to the coffee table in front of the sofa.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“We love it!” Billy exclaimed with that console in his hands. Tommy nodded, taking a mini sandwich.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“When I was a kid, I loved playing this one. My family didn't have a lot of money so I sold some candy and delivered newspapers so I could buy it.” Y/N smiled to see how Billy was looking at the console with curiosity and an adorable smile.
ㅤㅤㅤ
For a while now the boy hadn't stopped telling her how happy he was catching pokemons in the 'Fire Red Pokemon'. ㅤㅤㅤ
“They are not the same one, of course. I lost mine a long time ago on a trip with your mom and your aunties.” She swallowed hard and smiled sadly. “But I got these for you. It’s not the new Switch one, that… one is so much better, but… I thought you might like this one too. I like it.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Feeling a bit shy, Y/N always had a soft spot for old-school stuff. As if part of her didn't want to give up the innocence and past she lost in the woods.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Thank you, Y/N!” The twins said at the same time and hugged her waist, making her laugh a bit. Y/N ruffled their hair when they parted.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I’m glad you liked it, boys. I was afraid it would bore you.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“This is amazing! We like spending time with you, Y/N.” Tommy smiled and ran back to the sofa.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“You’re so funny… and you make mom happy.” Billy was encouraged to say with a toothy smile and then followed his brother.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm not that boring, huh. Take that, anxiety.” Y/N sat on the other couch, taking control of the TV. Outside, the sky was beginning to darken from the coming storm.
ㅤㅤㅤ
They were together for another half hour until the door opened, Wanda came into the house somewhat in a hurry and soaked by the rain.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I'm so sorry! I swear I didn't want to be late, it's just that in the end I couldn't find a place to park, it was chaos!” Wanda exclaimed as she took off her soaked coat in the doorway. She couldn't help but smile when she saw them like that.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N came over to give her a little peck and help her with her bag and coat.  “So? How was it?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
The twins left the console and sat on the sofa, as expectant as Y/N to hear the news.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Oh… well…” The brunette scrunched her nose. She inhaled deeply, then released it.  “They gave it to me! I've got the job!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
The three approached and began to jump and cheer with the sokovian.
As soon as the little ones hugged their mother -and then walked away saying 'ew' because her clothes were still wet-
ㅤㅤㅤ
“The good thing is that I can do it from home.” Wanda explained to Y/N speaking fast, all excited.  “All I need is my laptop.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“That’s amazing, babe! Oh, I’m so happy for you.”  Y/N bit her lower lip. Finally everything started to go well, right?
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Me too.” Wanda smiled happily. “I can finally do something for myself. Isn't it amazing?”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“It is, my love.” Y/N walked over to wrap her arms around her. “You deserve it more than anyone. I’m so proud!”
ㅤㅤㅤ
 “I love you so much, detka.” Wanda's green eyes sparkled with happiness.  
ㅤㅤㅤ Y/N just smiled tenderly.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“I love you too, luv.” They both looked at each other for a moment before leaning their foreheads together, losing themselves in each other.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Well, I’m gonna take a bath but first… I think today we can celebrate by ordering pizza and ice cream. What do you think about it? And maybe I’ll even let you guys try to beat me at Monopoly.” Wanda said, looking at the three of them.
ㅤㅤㅤ
The adorable twins squealed with excitement and jumped on the sofa happily. And although Wanda tried to stop them, she ended up laughing.
Y/N just smiled happily from where she was, feeling that maybe she finally had a place in the world. A comfortable and pleasant place.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Hours later, after a delicious pizza and a night of laughter, Y/N and Wanda slept peacefully for a few hours until a screeching sound interrupted them. Outside, the storm was fiercer than ever.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“It's so late... who is it?” Y/N murmured sleepily, trying to go back to sleep entwined with the body of her beloved. It was 2 AM. ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda just snuggled against the covers, opening one of her eyes to see how Y/N's phone began to vibrate and ring again insistently. “I don't know, it's your phone, detka.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Sorry.” Y/N muttered before yawning, sitting up on the bed to take the call. The screen said that her number was unknown, which made her frown. “Hello?... Yeah, it’s me.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N sat up in bed and ran a hand over her face, trying to wake up. She tried to understand what the person was saying, but nothing seemed to make sense.
Her eyes showed confusion and fear, her lips trembled.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“What? Wh- What do you mean?” Y/N said shocked, surprised, terrified. Hearing her voice like that, Wanda also got up feeling her heart jump. “No… No, that’s-”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Detka, what is it?” Wanda put a hand on her shoulder and tried to understand, Y/N seemed lost in shock.
ㅤㅤㅤ
With her teary eyes, Y/N begged: “That's not true.”
ㅤㅤㅤ
“N-no… You must be wrong.” She started to cry, getting up to put on her clothes and dropping the phone on the bed.
ㅤㅤㅤ
Wanda hesitated whether to hug her or take the phone, but she needed to know what the hell was going on.
ㅤㅤㅤ
“Hello? Yes, I’m-”  The brunette finally managed to understand, opening her green eyes wide, listening to the person on the other end of the call. “Oh… Yes, we will-”
ㅤㅤㅤ
Y/N walked away looking for her jacket but she couldn't help but walk down the hall and cry in silence. But the voices became distant, more and more. All Y/N could hear was the annoying beep. Like white noise. Everything about her was shattered. Everything inside her was starting to break down.
Tumblr media
🐝🐝🐝 Only one chapter left.
This is the hardest chapter to write. The finale is all about present day. Although it is not direct, it is an allusion. I didn't know whether to make them make that decision or not, but the truth is that survival is harsh. I don't think I can made it as harsh and as selfish as in Yellowjackets.
Those women were selfish (and human, that's perfect. That's the point of the tv show, this moral battle), but our girls are not like that. They're good friends.
I'm babbling too much, I'm sorry if this is not okay for you. Maybe you'd better skip this past, and just finish the story with the next one. It's all about present. Have a good sunday, sweets. 🐝

I HAD THIS DREAM WHERE I WAS A GOD WITH A VEIL WHICH COVERED MY FACE AND LONG SLEEVES AND IT'S LIKE A ROBE? AND OMG, IM NOT EVEN SURE IT WAS ME BECAUSE THE PERSON I WAS 1ST PERSON VIEWING THEN 3RD WAS HOT AS HECK.....BUT ANYWAYS, IMA WRITE ABOUT MY DREAM.
Gn reader/no specific pronouns used. (You/they/unknown person) (lol)
(I would be happy if you reposted my dream or like <3)
welcome, outlander God(S) ♥︎
Tumblr media
CREDITS: [I was in a rush and my friend found it on Google for me, so I am not sure if it's correct so here's the title] Art, manga, boy anime #730263 on animesher.com [or you can just type what my friend searched "chained up hands manga"]
Traveler steps into a abandoned domain. They moved the tree branches that over-grown into the domain and searched around the area.
"Nothing seems to be here Paimon. I think we were just hearing things."
"But Paimon was sure she heard something!"
The traveler tries to reassure Paimon that they were just hearing things until the traveler leaned on the wall and pushed a hidden button. They both paused as they heard some stone moving.
Traveler carefully stepped into the new founded room...nothing...happened? They went in the room still cautious. It was pitch black so the traveler has to spread the arms out and just try to imagine what the rooms looks like and so they don't bump their head on something.
Suddenly, the Paimon screamed, the traveler quickly turned around and headed towards Paimon's scream. The traveler stood there shocked and horrified. They saw a eyeball staring at them. Black liquid drips from the opened eyeball as it stared at the 2 trespassers. Suddenly, the liquid that seems to come out non-stop became read then gold.
The light was suddenly on.
"WAS THAT EYEBALL THE LIGHTSWITCH?!"
Paimon was grossed out as the traveler tried to not laugh at her reaction. A chill went down on their spine, then panic as both of them couldn't move. Their heart almost dropped into their stomach as they heard a voice.
"Oh? I didn't expect guests to be here. My, my."
The unknown person chuckled. They got closer to them as the traveler shivered from the cold hands that touched their face.
"Quite a beauty. Such pretty golden hair."
The unknown person was finally revealed. Well...not really since seems like a veil is covering most of their head. It was quite a length. While the clothes were fully covering their body.
Both of them were stunned when they heard multiple voices that sounded exactly the same if some didn't sound like their vocals was damaged or something.
"Look! There's a flying kid!"
"You mean a fairy?"
"No. It must be a realistic, human machine"
"Emergency food?"
Paimon stomped her feet in the air, pouting from the comments.
"Don't be mean. I'm sure she's just a living person" [The original you]
Paimon almost broke into tears. You're the first person who hasn't called her emergency food or some fairy at least once.
Their voices was terrifying in a way. Some was fine, but one of them had some kind of glitch in their voice or maybe gurgle noises as if their Drowning.
"Ah. Don't mind them. I'm the original."
'Original?' The traveler thought before stumbling into your arms when they were finally released from the paralyzed state they both were in.
"So....their your clones?"
The unknown person (you) laughed. Clutching their stomach as they fell on to their knees and holding on to the wall for support.
"Pfft- haha! That's quite funny"
Gosh. Perhaps would you die from laughter with Cyno's jokes because of your horrible humor? They thought.
"Well....they aren't exactly clones. They are just....versions of myself? I have many, perhaps infinity of them. But there somewhere else. These are just "me's" who will go soon. So just ingore them."
The traveler was stunned, before they could say anything, they witnessed the "you's" turning into statue, liquid or anything then disappearing. Although, they didn't question further since you looked tired from the questions. They looked over to the chains on your legs and wrist. About to ask this one last question but you soon changed the subject.
"Oh. Are you...ah, yes! Lumine/Aether?"
The traveler paused. Sweat dripping from their forehead as they looked at you in fear. They haven't told anyone their name. How did you know?
"No need to fear me....I wouldn't dare to hurt such a beauty. You're quite too cute to do that"
The person chuckled, seeing the traveler face flushed a slight bright red. The traveler finally opened their mouth to say something after 5 minutes of awkward silence.
"Do you know....my brother/sister?"
You paused. Seemingly hesitating.
"And....what if I say I do?"
The traveler looks at you and went straight forward.
"Please! Help me find my sister/brother!"
The traveler begged.
"Well....sorry to disappoint you, I don't know their location. But I could help you on your travels."
You hold their chin while smiling. The traveler heart suddenly quicken and pounded into their chest. You and the traveler noticed that Paimon was passed out on the floor, cold. You gladly offered them to help lead the way to the exit while carrying Paimon.
*later*
"Teyvat....looks so different......how long did I sleep?? God damn, I slept better than sleeping beauty for real!"
The traveler looked at you cunfused before you coughed awkwardly and asked them where do you go with them. Suddenly, the 4 archon appeared.
"[Name]...is that.....really you?"
Zhongli asked. Hands trembling as he reached out to you.
"Yes Morax- wait. Rex Lapis? No, God Of Contracts?"
"Zhongli. It's Zhongli"
He awnsered. Ei interrupted,
"[Name]..! You look......exactly the same"
You nodded. You almost fell as Venti jumped on your back.
"Barbatos?"
"I'm going by Venti!"
"Venti, the famous drunken bard?"
You chuckled, Laughing at Venti's reaction. He pouted and hit you in the shoulder even though it felt like nothing.
You looked down, seeing a child.
"Oh? And who are you?"
Nahida looked up at you and fidgeted her fingers.
"I'm Nahida....I heard a lot about you from irminsul!"
She said excitedly. The traveler just stood there in the background, with Paimon in their hands. Although...you felt the presence of someone but quickly ingores it as you listen to everyone's words. Perhaps Nahida should introduce you to Wanderer
You should be careful with the Fatui and Tsaritsa
—to be continued—

Summary: based off of what happens when tim comes home after the events of S4E8 but he didn't resolve things.
Word Count: 408
----------------------------------------------------------
You hear the door slam when Tim comes home. You didn't hear about anything while at the station that was horrible. Most of the calls were mellow other than the sovereign citizen call.
"Tim?" You call out to him as he walks into the living room. You see his red rimmed eyes and shaky hands. You quickly pull him into a hug. You don't know what's wrong yet.
"It's my sister, she wants me to go visit dad and, and deal with the house," he says as you both sit down.
You couldn't imagine what it must be like to have to go back to the place where all of your trauma was created. To see the person who gave you the trauma.
"I, I don't know what to do. She shouldn't have to sell the house alone. But I can't imagine having to go back and see the crumpled plaster from where he would smash my head into the wall," Tim said. His voice cracked on the last few words.
"I can help her," you say and give his hand a squeeze. There wasn't anything you wouldn't do for Tim.
He gives you a sad smile before letting go of your hand and running his fingers through his short hair. He lets out a shaky sigh before leaning back against the couch.
"He's in hospice. Drinking finally caught up to him," Tim says and you place a comforting hand on his bicep.
"Tim, you haven't seen him in twenty years. You don't need to go back now. After everything he put you through, you don't owe him anything," you tell him and he nods.
"Thanks," he says. He still felt some type of guilt for not going. He was his father. But not all parents deserve children. It wasn't Tim's fault he had grown up with a horrible, abusive monster of a father. It wasn't his sisters either.
It was easier for Genny to deal with everything because Tim had taken most of the abuse.
"it'll be okay," you tell him and he smiles before placing a light kiss on your lips.
"I don't know what I'd do without you," he says with a sigh. He honestly didn't. You kept him sane when the whole world tried not to. When everything fell apart you kept him from going insane. "I love you," he says as he gives you another soft kiss.
You smile, "I love you to."

Pairing: Platonic Therapist Echo and Omega.
Theme: Hurt/Comfort
I don't have an exact sentence, but this happens after Season 3 Episode 8. Omega expresses that she endured worse on Kamino than on Tantiss. Much worse.
During a subsequent talk between Omega and Echo, Omega alludes to how dark, and horrific, her past on Kamino is.
I understand if you're unsure about doing this, but I would absolutely love it if you did.
Non romantic oneshots aren't really my thing, but this request did lit up interesting ideas in my head, so why not?
One angsty heartfelt conversation with these two sweethearts coming right up, & some comfort too!
Hope it is what you imagined!
Xx,
Sky.
"QUIET NIGHTS"
TBB REQUESTS –NON ROMANTIC ECHO&OMEGA 📩💔💖
WARNINGS: REFERENCES TO DARKNESS, LONELINESS, KAMINO&TANTISS&ECHO'S TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE. TECH LIVES BECAUSE I SAY SO.
It was one of those quiet nights. Crosshair was out on a date. Tech had dissapeared with Phee hours ago; Hunter had quickly retired to his bunk after experiencing a strong migraine, and Wrecker was sound asleep too. However, Omega couldn't find her own sleep; and quickly taking a glance at his brother's room, he saw that Echo couldn't either.
Her naked toes quietly advanced in the direction of the cockpit. There he was; Echo sitting in the copilot's seat and staring distractedly through the window, out to the stars on Pabu's peacefull night. By the expression on his face, Omega knew his mind felt anything but that; Echo's frown transforming his features into something painfull. She wondered if he was having nightmares too.
"Bad memories?" She quietly asked, jumping onto the pilot seat besides him.
Echo sighed, still staring at the stars.
"Yeah" was his only quiet answer, and Omega gave him time.
She thought on her own nightmares for several minutes; trying to reorganize her thoughts.
"Are you having trouble sleeping after Tantiss?" Echo then asks, finally turning in his chair to pay her undivided attention.
Omega shrugs.
"Kinda".
Echo's features fill with sympathy.
"Must have been horrible, being trapped in there" Echo shudders, remembering his own experiences with closed spaces.
To his surprise, Omega shrugs again.
"Not really" she answers, strangely unbothered. "I mean, it's not like I wanted to be there... But I've had it much worse".
Echo stares at her, and Omega feels like she needs to explain herself. Her feet come up to rest on the edge of the seat, chin resting on top of her knees. She's unconsciously making herself small.
"Kamino. That was worse than everything".
Silence fills the room.
Echo frowns. He had had his own fair of bad experiences with the long-necks and the way he and his brothers were treated; but that being worse than being on Imperial control?
"How so?" He carefully asks.
Omega's answer breaks his heart.
"Loneliness. My days in Kamino were dark and challenging; same in Tantiss. But at least while staying in Tantiss I knew I had you, even if you weren't there. In Kamino, before I met you all..." she pauses and flinches with the memories of her past. "I didn't have that. Didn't have the knowledge that you'd be waiting for me, looking for me. That I had someone on my side. That someone cared. That I wasn't alone. In Tantiss I remembered all the happy memories I had with you all. It gave me hope. In Kamino... It was terryfying being so alone".
Omega hadn't meant to say as much; but once she had started talking, the words had flied out of her mouth. Echo's patient and listens carefully; eyes filling with understanding and left hand slowly extending towards her. When it lands on her shoulder and squeezes gently, Omega relaxes and sighs. Her big eyes turn back towards him.
"Did you..." she hesitates. "Did you feel alone when you were with the Techno Union, Echo? Or you... didn't feel anything at all?"
Echo's experience has always been a banned theme of conversation in the Marauder; but Omega asks with no malice, almost begging for someone to understand her, and Echo feels like she's revealed so much of her own feelings and thoughts he kinda owes it to her. He loves her sister so much... If sharing trauma will make her feel better and help her process her memories best, he'd tell her anything she asked for.
"I did, yeah" the tremble that breaks througj his body at remembering is inevitable. "I wasn't conscious all the time, but in the middle of the dizzyness and confussion, i remember being scared and terrified. I didn't understand what was happening most of the time. Sometimes I did. I just wanted to go back to my brothers, out of that... Thing, to be freed. To be me. Loneliness is one of the worst feelings in the world, yes."
It somehow soothes some internal part of him, speaking it out loud. Maybe this conversation will serve them both good.
Omega reaches out and mimicks his previous gesture; squeezing his shoulder gently.
"I'm sorry you had to go through all that, Echo. I'm so happy I have all of you now..." her voice is soft and reverent.
Sadness dissappears from Echo's eyes. He looks at her; at how her features have morphed from a kid's to a teenager and then continued changing to a young woman. They're lucky to have her.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that too, Meg" he answers, quietly, gently.
He gives her a small smile, and stands up offering his hand to her.
"How about we both try to nap together, troublemaker?"
Omega smiles. It feels him with warmth.
"Alright" she agrees, slipping her hand onto his and walking with him in the direction of the bunk room. "A pair of hours is better than none. Cross won't be happy we invade his bed for the night, though".
Echo snorts.
"The motherfucker still complains about his perfectly comfortable bed when he's well aware I still sleep in a hammock" he mutters, then grins at her. "He'll be alright".
THE END.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Pretty short but I didn't feel the need to expand it longer. Feelings everyonee. Hope you liked it!
Xx,
Sky.

Probably a weird question, but which HP characters do you imagine as LGBTQIA or/and POC? (Because let’s make Joke Rollling/She Who Must Not Be Named… ANGRY!! 😏)
I would LOVE TO! J.K.Rowling is Rita Skeeter to me. Also you should look up 'The Worst Witch,' because it's basically Harry Potter.
Tumblr media
𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑴𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑬
Most definitely black, or what if she came from an Indian family who wanted her to marry and the Wizarding World was her escape? She studies hard because this new world is a second chance for freedom!
I also wish Hermione was bisexual/pansexual. She and Ginny, or even she and Cho would make such a gorgeous couple!
𝑳𝑼𝑵𝑨
I think it would have been cool if she was an albino (I am so sorry if that's not the right way to say it. I don't want to offend anyone). Her long white hair, pale skin, translucent lashes and brows. With beautiful purple eyes (this is actually how I imagined the Targaryens to look, not just having white hair).
She is definitely demisexual; only feeling attraction after developing a friendship first. I can also see Luna as trans!
𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑹𝒀
I've seen some fancasts and fanart of Harry with his ethnicity being Indian, or Pakistani. Which I'm completely okay with. Maybe even James is half black, and that makes Harry a quarter, so it's still noticeable - and another thing that the Dursley's are horrible to him about.
I think Harry is Bi/Pan - I have this headcanon that he had a crush on Oliver Wood, and Katie Bell when he was in first year.
𝑹𝑶𝑵
I honestly just see Ron as a normal hetero male. Honestly, there's nothing queer about him at all. But he is very supportive of his friends and family as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. He would always be at Pride with whoever asked him, and have anyone's back who needed it.
And the Weasley's are known for their red hair, so I think I would keep their heritage/ethnicity the same!
𝑫𝑼𝑴𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑫𝑶𝑹𝑬
YES, THIS MAN IS A GAY MAN. But I feel as though he's very monogamous; he will love one person, even if they do not love him back, for the rest of his life. Like with Grindelwald, Dumbledore couldn't stop the feelings he had - even though the man was turning into a pretty evil one.
𝑺𝑵𝑨𝑷𝑬
His sexuality always confused him. Because he was in love with Lily, truly in love with her. But sometimes he found James attractive, and he hated himself for it.
Shows himself as straight, but I think he's bisexual or at least bi-curious.
I think for his ethnicity, it can be the same. Pasty white skin, black hair, hooked nose. Maybe his family distantly came from a Mediterranean island?
𝑫𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑶
Oh, I think keeping Draco white ... and maybe all the Death Eaters white would be saying a lot. They're basically Nazi's. So that wouldn't change.
Draco is most definitely bisexual. He was so in love with Harry, feigning it as hate. Knowing everything about him, staring at him from across the room. When he was younger, it was easier to see it as hate. But then when he turned 16, he felt a pang of desire for the Potter boy and the self-loathing began.
𝑮𝑬𝑶𝑹𝑮𝑬
Falls in love very easily, but usually with a woman. Not to say he's completely hetero, I think he would be bi-curious, but I think he wants a wife with a big family.
𝑭𝑹𝑬𝑫
I actually think Fred would be polyamorous. The kind where the girlfriend is allowed another boyfriend, not like Sisterwives. No, no. Fred would be totally cool with having a wife who has a boyfriend, and they all live together. Fred's a little fruity as well. I think he's one of those people that 'don't like to put a label on things.'
𝑺𝑰𝑹𝑰𝑼𝑺
Pansexual. Pansexual. Pansexual. Doesn't care if you're trans, he loves a person for who they are, what they believe in, rather than what their bits are. One of the reasons why he ran away from home. He hates tradition.
I think the Black family could be from Sicily, I know that's not necessarily POC, I think with their darker features, they would easily reign from there. And Sicilians are known for always distinguishing themselves from any other Mediterranean culture.
𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑼𝑺
He always thought of himself as straight. But that was until he met Sirius and he developed such a big crush on him. I think Remus would be Biromantic towards women but Bisexual towards men.
𝑪𝑯𝑶
WHY THE HELL DID ROWLING CALL AN ASIAN PERSON, "CHO CHANG," PUT THEM IN THE "SMARTEST HOUSE". It's racism. That's how I see it. She does this with many characters, and it's ridiculous.
Anyway, I have no problem with Asian representation. But what if Cho was Native American? (I know Rowling made that whole other school but it was really problematic so to me, it doesn't exist).
Or have Cho as Chinese (maybe give her a proper Chinese name), and we can have another main character...like Hermione, or Katie Bell as Native American. I just think it would be interesting to see an exchange student from another country as well.
𝑮𝑰𝑵𝑵𝒀
Lesbian. Poly lesbian. All those boys she went out with in Hogwarts were actually just beards. And she was having a secret relationship with another girl in her year. However, the polyamory doesn't come out until she's in her 20s.
𝑩𝑰𝑳𝑳
Polysexual; sexual or romantic attraction to people with varying genders. Polysexual orientations include bisexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality, and queer, among many others. Basically, he can be attracted to anyone. But Fleur was the one who captured his heart fully and wholely.
𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑬
Asexual; I know he isn't in the movies (WHY?!) but he spends all his time with Dragons, and I think that will always be his main love and passion.

Hiii! Can you please write something for Louis Bloom? He’s sooo bad but he is just so hot I have a hard time hating him 😭 Merry Christmas!
Hiii! Merry Christmas for you too, anon, thank you for this wonderful gift, my first request since I came back <3
Hm yeah, if people don't want us to fall in love with psychos, they need to stop hiring Jake Gyllenhaal to play then yk...
Warnings: oral (male recieving), balls worship, manipulation (from both sides, but heavier on his), description of violence, blood, accidents and other typical Lou Bloom activities (he doesn't hurt reader).
Like 1.7k words
You were new in town. You didn't know about Louis's reputation. The two of you had just started going out and you didn't know much about his job... all you knew was the gleam in his eyes whenever he talked about it, always mentioning he was very successful. You also knew that he worked VERY hard, cause more than once you've seen him spend the entire evening out, or simply drop everything he's doing when he hears about something that could make it to the news. And you would watch his material on TV smiling proudly at his hard work.
You couldn't imagine how hard it must be for him to witness such horrible, tragic events and document everything... again... you didn't know him very well yet.
Time passed and the two of you only grew closer. Louis was fascinated by your innocence... about how you would always receive him with open arms and whispers of "my poor Lou" after a particular long night, or how you'd be horrified after seeing his images on TV, saying things like "oh baby, you must be a hero, how can you endure this kind of thing?".
It just drove him crazy. He was living a double life... he would be the most absolute cruel and unhinged man on the dark streets of LA, and come back to you as a man of many sacrifices. Just when he thought it couldn't be more perfect, he has this idea: the worse his job looked to you, the more you would admire him.
The next night was the first night he came home covered in blood. You almost had a heart attack.
"Lou!" You ran towards him. "What happened to you? Are you hurt?"
"No, it's okay, baby, I'm okay..." He put on his saddest face. "I just... I was out there doing my job, you know... but I... Oh, my love, I did something terrible..."
"What do you mean, Lou? What happened?" You asked nervously.
"You know I'm not supposed to interfere on the scene, but... I couldn't help it... there was this child... he was very hurt on the accident, I just had to help him!"
You hugged him and cried proudly, trying to calm him down, telling him it was okay... oh, little did you know he was calmer than ever as he lied and manipulated you, smirking into the hug as he watched you fall into his trap.
But his need for your attention and affection grew completely out of his control. His storied became more and more absurd and he started to... cause some... situations on purpose, just so he would have new stories to tell you about how brave he was.
Louis was always the type to be behind the cameras, but more than once he filmed himself dragging a victim of a car accident or carrying an unconscious person around, heavily editing it afterwards, to make it look like he was saving them... and he didn't even sell those images, they were only for you to see, with the excuse that he was so humble and didn't want the fame, he just wanted to help.
But he just couldn't fool you forever, no matter how hard he tried. The absurdity of his stories increased drastically and he didn't know where to stop... Louis was smart and cold when it came to the lies he sold for the television, not when it came for the ones he told to you.
And that's when you decided to investigate.
You knew that every time he allowed himself to close his eyes, he would sleep very heavily, since it was so rare. But you needed to make sure of it. So you planned a pretty exhausting night for him...
"Hi, baby" you greeted him with a smile, wrapping your arms around his shoulders as soon as he walked into the apartment that night. "Hope you're not too tired..."
"Hey, love. I'm fine, What do you have in mind?" he smiled back, not suspecting anything.
"Wanted to treat you real good..." you said, moving your hand down his chest, over his shirt. "You deserve to relax a bit..."
"Yeah?" He smirked and you nodded, big doe eyes acting innocent, like you knew it would drive him crazy.
You guided him towards the sofa while he kissed you passionately, his hands softly on your waist. He sat on the sofa and you kneeled on the floor, in front of him. The look on his face made you forget about your plan immediately. And the part of you that remembered it, felt extremely guilty... you couldn't do that to him. He was such a loving, caring boyfriend, you had no reason to suspect he had been doing anything wrong.
He unbuttoned his shirt, as your hands worked on his pants, pulling them down to his knees. You could see through his underwear that he was starting to get hard.
"Come on, angel, let me see those pretty tits, huh?" He asked in his sweetest tone.
You didn't hesitate to remove your top, playing with your tits in front of him, watching his smile grow wider and his dick get harder.
"Lay back, Lou... let me take care of you, okay?" You insisted. "Just relax, I'll be so good for you... put on a show like you deserve..."
"Fuck, little girl..." he frowned, dick now throbbing. He obeyed, though, letting you pull his underwear down.
As his cock sprung free, your mouth watered. What a fool you were! Acting like you could control him when you were down that bad... cock drunk before even having a taste...
You grabbed his shaft, tongue running up and down slowly, getting him wet. You started stroking him as your mouth went to his balls. You sucked and caressed and drooled all over them, eyes rolling to the back of your head as he moaned in pleasure. Louis was the type to hide his moans, but he barely could when you worshipped his balls this good...
You could tell he was getting impatient and the last thing you wanted was to lose control of the situation. If he decided to be in charge, you knew you were in trouble. So you took his shaft in your mouth, little by little, until it hit the back of your throat. You moaned as you did it, hands squeezing your own tits as you tried not to gag. Every movement you made was designed to keep him entertained, to keep him lost in the moment.
Your head bobbed faster as his words and praises got more and more filthy. As he went from "Fuck, you're doing so well, my sweet angel, keep going, you're making me feel so good" to "Fucking whore, so hungry for this cock, bet you can't wait to swallow all I have to give you".
And fuck, you were grateful when he came down your throat, giving you an unexplainable feeling of joy as you watched your man so satisfied, so... calm... maybe a little... sleepy.
"Come on, Lou... let's go to bed... you must be so exhausted." You suggested. He didn't argue, even though he didn't like not returning the favor you just did for him. He just had a long day, and he would be able to please you harder and better in the morning, not now.
The ache between your legs after sucking him off and not getting any attention afterwards worked as some kind of fuel to carry on with your plan. You left him sound asleep in his room, closing the door and walking to the living room as silently as possible, finding his computer there.
Not a single suspicion you had before could have prepared you for what you would find there. That wasn't the sweet Louis you knew... the way he dragged extremely hurt people around the streets, positioning them like they were toys... he didn't seem to be... helping them. Took you a while to understand that it was all fake. He had been creating entire scenes from scratch, he was a fucking actor... you shivered as you heard a woman screaming for him to stop as he manipulated her body like a doll... the way he told her to shut up...
"You know that's really none of your business, darling."
Your blood froze. You wouldn't dare to look up, but you could feel him standing beside you. How long has he been there?
"Lou, I can explain..." your eyes filled with tears.
"I know you can." He sighed, sittind beside you on the sofa. "But I don't really wanna hear it."
You flinched as he raised his hand, but he just rested it softly on your cheek, wiping a tear away.
"I'm not gonna hurt you, sweetheart... you know I could never do that..." he reassured you. "You need to know a few things about me."
You sat still and he saw that as a sign to continue. "You see, I don't hurt anyone. I just... find them in a very bad situation and... I have to do my job, you see. And my job is not giving people the truth, my job is to give them something they wanna watch..."
"But... Lou... that's wrong..." you gathered strength to finally speak.
"Then tell me, little one, who's so bad? Me? For giving people entertainment... or is it the people who find this entertaining?" He continued caressing your cheek. "And that would include you, I'm afraid... cause you watched everything I ever showed you and you fell in love with me while you did so."
"I didn't... I didn't know..." you tried to justify it all to yourself more than to him.
"I know it's shocking, my love." He brought you closer to him, giving your forehead a kiss. "You're new here... LA, Hollywood... every magical thing you see on TV is absolutely filthy behind the cameras."
Maybe he was right, and you hated it. You knew you were being manipulated, but you just couldn't... not see how it all made sense.
"Come back to bed, princess." He offered, his voice was calm as if nothing had happened. "We can talk more about all of this tomorrow. There's so much I need to show you."
His calm attitude indicated that he knew you were sticking around, even after he revealed his true self. The fact that you took his hand and followed him back to the bedroom, showed he was right.

How would human Oliver react to finding a borrower James?
I'm happy with this one ^^
---
Oliver lived a fairly quiet life. He worked as a child psychologist throughout the week. On Thursdays he ordered a takeaway and would finish his leftovers on Friday, on Saturdays he went to the library to check out and return books, he tended to his garden every couple of days, and on Sundays he mowed some of his elderly neighbors' lawns.
Most mornings he had toast or cereal. Every other Sunday he had a full English. On Fridays he went out for a cream tea— scones with jam and clotted cream were his favorite after all. On Tuesdays he gave some jars of handmade jam around the neighbourhood, and sometimes a few extra treats if he made them.
He went to a local sandwich shop for lunch every day other than on weekends, where he always ordered the same egg salad sandwich. He always got cheese and onion crisps, always had a medium coffee, always sat in the same seat by the window.
He had a routine and he stuck to it.
To his coworkers he was known as a good worker; polite, well-received, compassionate. He wasn't friends with anyone though.
This didn't upset him in the slightest. He liked his quiet life, and whenever he got close to others they ultimately ended up discovering his past, rumours would spread, and then everyone would treat him differently again.
He had gotten used to the usual pitying looks when he was younger after he became an orphan— then the disturbed looks when he wasn't fazed by the loss at all. That passed. Now people presumed he had grieved already so it wasn't so difficult.
But then his cousins went missing.
Just a few months before he received his doctorate he got a call— an awful horrible and truly terrible call. It informed him that his uncle and aunt, his guardians, had been shot dead, and his two younger cousins had gone missing.
He graduated the year after instead.
But now he lived a quiet life. A quiet life, waiting, hoping to receive another call telling him his cousins were found alive. Rumours had initially spread saying he was responsible and even though he had been cleared by the police every time, people still talked about it.
So things were fine like this. Quiet. Sometimes a bit lonely, but nothing Oliver couldn't handle. He stuck to his routine and that was that.
Well… That was that until as he began pouring cereal into his bowl of milk, a tiny man fell out along with it. Oliver froze, staring down at the man in a mixture of shock, disbelief, and pure confusion. The man in turn, after right himself, stared straight back at him.
"...uhm… Hello there..?" Oliver wasn't sure why exactly there was a tiny man sitting in his bowl of shreddies soaked in milk, but he was sure that there was a tiny man there. As baffling as it was, it was better than a rat falling out.
Was this some form of mutated rodent? No. They looked entirely human all aside from their incredibly diminutive size. Oliver began cycling through every myth and fairytale he had read that might give him something else to go off of… though perhaps this was just a shrunken man..?
He received no response to his greeting— aside from a frightened look. That's fair, Oliver thought, I imagine it must be rather disorienting to fall out of a cereal box at half past six in the morning.
"Hmm…"
To remedy that fact, Oliver first considered picking the tiny man up with his fingers to get him out of the bowl…but on second thought, he wanted to avoid getting his fingers covered in milk. Instead he picked up his spoon, very carefully bringing it towards the man in order to scoop him out onto a dishcloth or something— though he stopped the moment he heard the tiny man cry out.
"Don't eat me..! Jesus—" The man exclaimed, splashing about in the bowl to get away from his spoon. Oliver shut his eyes for a moment as a few drops of milk splashed onto the lenses of his glasses. Opening his eyes again, Oliver's brows furrowed in confusion.
"Eat you? Why on Earth would I do such an awful thing..?" Oliver took off his glasses, wiping them off on his shirt and reminding himself to clean them properly later. Placing them back on his face, Oliver found himself looking down at the clearly shaken little man once more, taking note of the fear that was apparent in their expression and body language.
He waved the spoon slightly to bring the man's attention onto it again.
"I only intended to get you out of the bowl and onto a dry surface, as I'm sure it's not particularly comfortable steeping in milk and soggy cereal." He placed the spoon back down. "I suppose I should have asked permission beforehand though… My apologies. Do you require assistance?"
The tiny man went from looking horrified to seeming completely lost— Oliver wasn't sure why… he hadn't said anything out of the ordinary had he? He was working on not overcomplicating everything he said but it was hard when he was simply talking in the same way he thought.
"I-I…no?" It was spoken more as a question, but Oliver respected it nonetheless, putting his spoon down and moving away from the bowl. He opened his dishes cupboard, taking out a new bowl and pouring milk into it once again. He looked into the cereal box first this time before pouring shreddies into the bowl of milk just to make sure this wasn't a repeat incident.
He looked towards his previous bowl, seeing that the man had yet to move. Somewhat confused, Oliver walked back over, setting his new breakfast down onto the countertop just beside it before pulling up a stool, not yet sitting.
"Although you may do as you wish, I would prefer to clean that bowl and put it away sooner rather than later. Are you sure you don't need any help at all?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. That seemed to snap the tiny man out of his frozen state as they quickly scrambled into action and pulled themself out of the bowl, dripping milk all over the counter.
Satisfied, Oliver picked up the bowl, draining the milk into the sink before dumping the soggy shreddies into the bin. As much as he didn't like waste he didn't plan on eating a breakfast someone had been sitting in. He grabbed a paper towel before walking back over, offering it to the man.
They stumbled back away from his hand, but Oliver didn't falter— he even offered a reassuring smile.
"I'll clean the counter after so don't worry about making a mess. You may leave— though I suggest drying off first. Feel free, also, to wash off in the sink." He waited patiently, observing how hesitant the tiny man was to accept the towel. After thirty seconds had passed and the man had made no progress, Oliver tilted his head, pulling away slightly.
"Are you afraid of me..?" He asked, not offended in the slightest. Hardly even surprised either— considering the size difference it would just be instinctual to fear him, but he thought he was at least being calm and gentle enough to dissipate that slightly. The man met his eyes— his were brown. A nice deep shade of it, Oliver noted.
Although he sensed that they had a response hanging on the edge of their tongue, Oliver didn't get to hear it as they suddenly ran off. Although startled, Oliver didn't make any attempts to stop them, watching with some interest as they opened up a hidden entrance into the walls and quickly hid away inside.
Oliver stayed silent for a few moments after, processing the events that had just happened.
"..my name is Oliver, by the way."

Citizens of Westview
Wanda Maximoff x Reader
Request: yes I'm sorry this took me so long but I am now nearing the end of my exam period 🥲
Summary: Wanda is on her way to WandaVision as she arrives in Westview, but before she can freak out on us, she meets someone
Someone = you = retired warrior with telepathy + telekineses
Warnings: sad Wanda; not proofread rip
Word Count: 1.4K
Wanda Maximoff was fuming and upset and destroyed and violently inclined and numb from the pain. Everything hurt. Everything was changing. He was never coming back. No, she was never coming back. Could never be the same as she once was.
When was that again? It felt like a long ago, but was it? Maybe for everyone else, whose five years dragged with the absence of company, but for her... for her it hadn't been long since the peak of her life. It hadn't lasted long, really. From one horror to the next, life had never stopped giving Wanda Maximoff a hard time.
Surely this was the worst of them all.
She stood motionless for a moment in a driveway, staring at the worn foundations of a town house. Vision's house. Vision's vision, ironically.
Slow steps led her to its centre, hand clutching at his plans like a lifeline.
Wanda wondered whether she ever would have lived him. He wasn't what she imagined - ever. He was only there when she needed someone most. Did she have the right to mourn someone she may have used for her own emotional balance? No, she thought.
A strange feeling invaded her senses as she considered her own mind. She knew it. Except she usually felt it from the other side.
Someone was in her head, snooping.
How dare they?
She realised only now that she had fallen to her knees on the harsh ground, tears running down her cheeks uncontrollably. It hurt. It all hurt, and she didn't even know what was causing her all this pain. When she tried to recount everything to herself, it felt like encouraging the water drowning her back over her head in order to make her lungs not only gasp for air and find currents, but also for them to be crushed under all the weight of an ocean.
Everything hurts.
Which is why no one should have been invading on all of that.
With some struggle, she turned, standing, grasping the sacred paper in her one hand while the other cocooned itself in crimson magic.
Before her stood a young-looking man, though certainly older than her, hands pushed into his pockets timidly.
"I'm sorry. I didn't read your thoughts, I just... I just felt."
Wanda's mind spun at the sound of your voice. Deep, as if the ocean was now enveloping her protectively. Slightly raspy, as if you had smoked one year too many. Melodic, as if she had missed the lyrics to an important song.
"I... How did you- You can't-"
"I don't know what made you feel the way you feel right now, but it must be truly horrible. That pain..." You shuddered, approaching her with a little more confidence, but keeping a safe distance.
Wanda was lost for words.
"Why here of all places?"
She hesitated, then decided: "My boyfriend plans on building a house here. I wanted to see it. Or, well, what it would be."
You nodded contemplatively. "So there's a boyfriend, huh?" you teased, stopping when you were only a meter away from her. She felt volatile. She couldn't bear it if you tried to touch her. But for a moment, she was distracted.
"No," she found herself saying instinctively, though this hadn't been the plan, "no boyfriend anymore."
"Sorry to hear it. Or at least, sorry for you." You smiled a little. It was all risky when someone was this emotional - or so spoke experience. One wrong word or wrong daring and it was all over, but in the end, treating someone like a snowflake was the most likely to backfire.
She stared at you incredulously, gaping at the simple flirting. She observed her contender closer: a tall, toned man with short black hair and a bandana. She could have screamed and kicked when her subconscious reminded her this was more like her type.
You watched her, too. If you hadn't been so distracted by her dishevelled look, you might have called her flawlessly beautiful.
"What's the house gonna look like?" you asked as pleasantly as possible, sitting down in the wiry grass with crossed legs.
"I, uh..." Wanda pulled out the plans, handing them over. You took them graciously, taking a moment to look properly before smiling widely.
"This is really nice. Good town house feel. Kinda looks like one of those old sit-coms, you know?"
She couldn't help but stare further. The coiling witchcraft encompassing her arm slowly dissipated as she collapsed on the ground opposite you.
"Yes," she said finally, leaning forward tiredly. "I always liked sit-coms. Especially the Dick Van Dyke Show. I watched it when I was little, and recently... well, I was just getting into it again."
"I don't know that one," you confessed. "But I always liked Bewitched and The Brady Brunch. Sometimes I Dreamed of Jeannie, when I was feeling particularly whimsical." You chuckled and a watery laugh escaped her in response.
"I know Bewitched and The Brady Brunch. They're both good. I loved the dresses in Bewitched, you know? It was always so classy. What's the other one?"
"Oh, it's about this guy who unleashes a beautiful woman called Jeannie and she's bound to him. She can fulfil all of his wishes, but her attempts at doing him good often go a bit awry... it's very funny."
"I can imagine."
She could believe she was smiling. Honestly smiling. Practically grinning.
"If I may ask; where are you from? That's an interesting accent you got there." You saw the complicated expression on her face and quickly rectified: "I'm sure people ask you all the time - I shouldn't be so unoriginal."
"No, no, it's fine. People don't ask as often as I'd sometimes like." Her eyes glazed over in distant imagery and you wondered where she had travelled to. "I'm from Sokovia."
Your brain sent you immediate news footage of the disaster in Sokovia and the Avengers and-
Wanda Maximoff.
But you didn't comment on any of this, because really, what good would it do?
"I've heard of it." Her shoulders sagged. She could see the pitiful questions coming her way already. "It's somewhere between Slovakia and the Czech Republic, no?"
Her eyes widened. For another moment, she was distracted.
"Yeah. That's it. It's beautiful, you know. Terrible government, but beautiful."
"Just like the U.S., then?" you smirked, earning an Eastern European smile of superiority in return.
"Mhm. We had this tradition in the winter where we would..."
You listened intently, hanging onto every word as if you were going to be tested in the material.
You didn't generally like people too much. You didn't hate them, either. You had just seen too much. Too many thoughts, emotions, memories, fears - too much humanity for one receiver.
But another person who had seen all that? Had felt and heard the facets of a thousand lives? That was interesting. You were very interested. Maybe you would have been even if that hadn't been the case.
Darkness crawled over the clouded planes of this Western sky, draping its silky blanket dotted with shining light and an iridescent crescent over the town of Westview. The two of you hardly noticed, delved deep in conversation, until making out the other's face proved a challenge.
"I should be going," Wanda gave in to nature's lullaby eventually. "I'm not sure where to go, though."
You considered her for a moment, then offered: "You're welcome to stay at my place for a while. If not, I know an inn downtown that's probably still open?"
She gazed at you in a way that the naïve mind could interpret as loving, then slowly nodded.
"Yes, I'd like to stay with you. I trust you, stranger, even if it is not in my best interest." Her accent was thick with drowsiness.
"Good. Can I ask - just to be sure - what's your name?"
"Wanda. You knew?"
"I had a hunch. My name's (y/n)."
"Do you have a superhero name or something, too?" she laughed warmly, but she could still taste the salt of tears on her tongue.
"No, I never cared much for superheroes."

Seto's behavior throughout the manga/anime and DSOD is perfectly understandable if you realize that this teenager never had a chance to behave like one.
I remember when i was 15, 16, 17 years old growing up in an abusive environment and dealing with such a delicate moment of our lives, my only means to vent was to get angry at my mom, to scream, to say horrible things too. But it was all part of the process to grow up, to detach myself from those toxic bonds, to build up my own personality. I had the freedom to do that, luckily.
Seto didn't. He had it for the worse. Being orphan meant for him to be the 'adult' who takes care of his brother, so he found himself in the position to actually start thinking like an adult (whatever that meant for him). Something that i consider against nature itself. A kid has to be a kid. Has to live like a kid and fuck responsibilities. There will be time for those. Not for Seto.
On one hand he had to deal with the pain and anger of being alone in a moment of life where parent's guidance should be mandatory. On the other, he couldn't even show his suffering because the idea of Mokuba seeing him as 'weak' was intolerable. And as a cruel joke of fate, things got only worse.
Growing up in a strict and violent environment meant for him to devise ways and strategies to survive to the best of his abilities. There’s a thing that happens when you grow up under the thumb of an egotistical megalomaniac person (unfortunately i had some experience with this): your entire personality gets crushed under their authority. You don't have the strength to fight (this is in fact what an authoritarian person wants: to cut away any chances of rebellion. It has happened historically with slaves too). Your only thought is to survive.
Seto didn't have a mean to focus is rage on. Or, worse, he focused everything he felt on his hatred of Gozaburo, turning him into his archenemy, and on the idea of revenge, of finding a way to win with his genius over his adoptive father. Still, that's not what a teenager should do. Hate blackens a person's soul, it makes you fall into a dark path which will be very difficult and painful to get out from.
Cherry on top: Seto acts on his plans of revenge but they take a turn he didn't mean for. He witnesses his archenemy killing himself. After spending five years trying to grasp himself on the only thing that would make him go on every day, he loses it. He loses the only thing that have kept him going. He loses the center of his hate. Can you imagine how horrible all of that must have felt on the mind of a fifteen years old boy? It was like losing every reason to keep fighting. Every reason to keep living.
And he didn't have anyone, anymore, to be angry at, to vent to like you would expect from a perfectly healthy teenager. Except his brother. Not because he wanted. But because he needed to. Mokuba was the only other human being there with him, so it's really no surprise that he was unfortunately the one who had to become a vessel for Seto's frustration and anger, the one upon which Seto had to toss all his dark emotions.
I still believe it was an act of self preservation on Seto's part. If Seto hadn't done that, the only alternative for him was probably death. This is where the path of obsession starts. Now the only goal that Seto has, it's to be the best at every thing. To always be the winner. Again, this is not what a sixteen years old boy should think about.
So when Yugi/Atem comes along and manages to beat him when Seto thought he was unbeatable, this starts a downward spiral of madness throughout death-T that has its conclusion in the mind crush. I think the mind crush is a metaphor of death. Seto's defeat in death-T was actually the death of his old self (to lose is to die, after all).
What i find interesting is that the mind crush didn't cure him of his obsession to win over Yugi/Atem. And i think the reason for this is in fact his own (not so positive) way to be a teenager and to deal with his issues. I feel like the constant approval he is looking for from Atem is not different from that of a young boy or girl to look for approval and/or acceptance in others while growing up. it's part of the shaping your own way with your own rules. It could go sideways if you do not receive the right guidance.
Which I think is what happened to Seto in DSOD. Once again, life deprived him of his only purpose: challege and win against Atem. He inevitably reverted to the state he was when Gozaburo died, culminating in him leaving for the afterlife. I think Transcend Game makes this clearer. There Seto stated first, "I'll enter duel links and rule over it as a king." A few pages after, he stated, "I'll challenge him again and put an end to the dead king", and after that, "If that place is endless darkness I will assume that darkness myself". He was clearly set on a path of self-destruction.
Again, I think the theme of death/rebirth applies here too, but in a different way. In DSOD Seto in the end accepted the loss to Yugi. He had in fact moved on. Which for him could only mean that loss was not a reason to die anymore. I think the only reason he left for the afterlife, was not over an obsession to win but to challenge Atem as a final step to put everything behind and being reborn again.
A transition from an angry teenager to an adult. In a not so mentally stable way, but well he had to deal with the tools that were at his disposal. He's Seto Kaiba for a reason.
This is my take out of Seto's actions. Maybe it's a projection of my feelings because i went through a similar path too in the past. I wish he had a better life.

"Hyde" your feelings
Pairing: Marilyn Thornhill/Laurel Gates x Fem Student! Reader (legal age)
Warnings: Smut, Hyde things, mentions of violence, strong language... Yes, this is a darker one.
Word count: 3.031
Summary: You're the Hyde. Laurel asked you to disctract Wednesday, but you can't do it. You can't pretend to love that girl, you love your mistress. Maybe it's time to tell her about your feelings.
N/A: Sorry about the language mistakes.
Tumblr media
“Come out, (Y/N), let me look at you.” Laurel ordered you.
You were in that Crackstone's crypt, preparing what would be according to her, a date for you and that gothic girl. You had to distract her, distract her anyway. You had been obeying your mistress's orders for some time now, attracting the attention of Wednesday Addams.
You knew you were a Hyde. You knew it since you were just a little girl. Your parents tried to make you live as normal as possible, cause anyone hadn’t unlocked you, until now.
What of course you were unable to imagine is that the monster inside you would be forced to wake up. That woman, who was supposedly your teacher, gradually got closer to you, perhaps showing too much affection. A coffee, a tea, a juice... Each of her visits was always accompanied by a drink. When you wanted to realize what was going on, it was too late. One day you woke up bound in chains, naked and covered in blood. This woman, supposedly named Marilyn Thornhill, was standing there, smiling at you with a syringe in her hand. You were scared, disoriented. Your life became a succession of blurred moments, headaches and blood all over your body.
As the days passed, your memories became clearer and you stopped waking up in that horrible cave. You began to adjust to that state of euphoria, destruction, and obedience. Laurel Gates, that was her real name, became your mistress. You were incapable of disobeying her, even knowing that what you were doing was wrong. You liked her in the beginning, before the chains and the blood. Your conscience told you that you couldn't feel anything about that horrible woman, but being under her orders didn't help at all.
You weren't able to deny anything. As much as your common sense screamed at you to stop having those feelings, it was impossible to stop. Maybe it was a side effect of being a Hyde, or maybe you were just an idiot.
You'd killed and maimed innocent people, you'd left your friend Eugene in a coma, but the only thing you didn't feel up to was pretending to be interested in this young woman, who, according to Laurel, was essential to her plan.
Timidly you came out of a corner of that horrible crypt. Laurel had bought you a fancy dress for that date. For once you felt uncomfortable with one of her orders.
“Oh, look at you.” she said, approaching you. “No one could resist you.”
You didn't say anything. You just looked at the floor while she put your clothes correctly. A hand passed through your neckline and caused a shiver to run through your entire body. It must not have gone unnoticed by her, as she made a strange face.
“The film is on the projector. I don't care what you do, but I want that little rat away from the school long enough for me to get the diary back, is that clear?” She said, turning her back on you. The current of cold air that you felt as you moved away from her body made you shiver.
 You had prepared a strange scenario. There were some popcorn, a blanket on the floor and an absurd movie about teenagers. Wednesday seemed to like you, or even more. You didn't care, you only wanted one person in this world, and it was Laurel, the cruel Laurel Gates. You didn't usually take so long to answer her questions and the redhead seemed to take notice of that, turning to you impatiently.
“I asked if it's clear, (Y / N),”she said with a threatening voice, standing a short distance from you.
You nodded shyly without looking up from the stone floor. Laurel roughly grabbed your chin to pull your head up toward her. You hissed in pain, but held firm in her grip. Every time she touched you it seemed as if you were paralyzed.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" she asked impatiently. You had no secrets from her, well, almost. You never mentioned your twisted attraction to her.
"I, I…" you stammered, trying to avoid her eyes. You couldn't lie to her, she knew that, but you could tell the truth that best suited for you.
"You what?" she insisted impatiently. The fact that Wednesday had stolen her precious diary, which contained precise instructions on how to treat you, lowered her patience level to potentially dangerous levels.
"I don't want to do that, Laurel." You said with tears in your eyes. You never dared to say something like that. At least you didn't remember saying it.
"What do you say?" She asked, causing her grip to tighten until it hurt.
“I don't, I don't love her, I don't feel anything for her,” you said forcing your mouth to speak.
Laurel gave a fake laugh, releasing your chin and crossing her arms.
"Do you think I care?" she asked rhetorically. Of course she didn't care at all. “You just have to do what I ask you and keep your mouth shut. If you have to fuck her to carry out my plan, you'll do it, because that's what you have to do, obey me and shut up!” She ended up screaming, which made you close your eyes, scared. A stinging slap echoed off the stone walls. Your cheek throbbed at that unexpected blow. She had yelled at you once, but she had never hit you. She truly was insane.
You couldn't help but shed those tears that she was about to let out, emitting a pathetic cry, running your hand over your wounded cheek. Laurel rolled her eyes and took a step closer to you, keeping her dangerous look.
“Stop crying, (Y/N),” she hissed, not taking your eyes off her.
You didn't have your eyes open. Your body immediately reacted to her request and you felt somewhat calmer, but not enough to stop crying. That made you wonder to what extent your body obeyed her orders.
In a second Laurel's expression relaxed, possibly due to your crying state. Without warning, she reached her hand up to your cheeks, wiping away a few tears.
“I'm sorry, honey. Mommy is very stressed because of that brat. I shouldn't have hit you," she said softly, as she pulled you into a hug so tender that it was unsettling. Her hand gently stroked your hair as your head rested on her shoulder. "Shh, calm down, calm down..." she whispered.
Her tone was like a sedative to you, regardless of what your Hyde status dictated. Little by little, the crying diminished and you clung to her tightly, never wanting her to let go.
“Oh, my girl, come here,” she indicated to you, separating from you and sitting on that blanket that you had prepared for your meeting with Wednesday, thinking about it made your stomach turn. You liked the girl, but not that way. Your legs reacted instantly and moved in her direction. Laurel gestured for you to sit next to her.
When you did she gently grabbed you and brought your head to her lap, continuing to stroke your hair.
"Come on, tell mommy why you don't want to obey her," she whispered. Being in her lap was a completely new experience for you, and unfortunately for you, a very rewarding experience. "Is it because of the bee boy?" she asked.
You shook your head trying not to move too much from your position.
“Remember that mommy left him alive, you are such a good girl, (Y/N).” Her tone was incredibly kind, but you knew there was a very deep darkness on it.
"I, I know." You stammered, trying not to cry anymore, grabbing her legs as best you could.
"So what is it, honey?" You knew you couldn't lie to her, but you didn't want to let her discover your feelings, you didn't know how she might react. "Wednesday Addams is a pretty girl, isn't she?"
You nodded briefly at that statement. Yes she was, but she couldn't do anything compared to Laurel, at least for you.
“She's smart, with a sense of humor, and it seems she likes you…” She continued, playing with her hand in your hair. You knew she was looking at you, but you didn't want to check. “Why don't you want to go on a date with her? It doesn't have to be a hard time, plus you'll make mommy happy.”
"I… I can't go on with this, I can't pretend I like her," you said, burying your head in her legs.
You heard Laurel sigh, and it took her a moment to speak again.
Why you can’t do it? I'm ordering you to,” she said in a slightly more abrupt tone. "Tell me the truth, darling, I know you're hiding something from me, and mommy doesn't like things to be hidden from her."
“Because I… I…” You tried to prevent the words from coming out of your mouth, but you forgot that she was your mistress, it was physically and biologically impossible to lie to her, you couldn't keep deceiving her. “I love you.”
There was no answer. The hand that was stroking your hair stopped instantly and that made you fear the worst.
"Are you serious, sweetie?" She asked. Her tone didn't show anger, but it did show an incipient curiosity.
"Yes," you said, sitting up to adopt a defensive stance, expecting another blow, or worse.
"What a sweet thing you are." She said with a slightly crooked smile. "So you don't want to see that girl because you're in love with me. Oh, honey, don't be afraid, I've known it for a long time.” You widened your eyes in surprise at that statement.
“Do you think I don't notice the way you look at me? You're so adorable,” she said amused, gently grabbing your hair with her hand, getting closer to her face.
"Would you like mommy to give you a kiss?" she asked. You had her face so close that you could feel her breath. You had wanted it for so long that you nodded without thinking too much.
The grip on your hair intensified and she pulled you even closer. You weren't able to explain what you felt the moment her lips collided with yours. It was a strange feeling, but it was what you had been dreaming of for too long, before the cave, before she was your mistress. She didn't seem to have any fear of what she was doing, being the one who deepened the kiss, passing her tongue gently across your lips. Letting yourself go for the moment, you reached out your arms to grasp her shoulders. The kiss gone wild, hungry. All your instincts had kicked in. Not the Hyde instincts, or at least not all of them. Devotion to Laurel was part of your nature, but you knew it wasn't that kind of devotion. Watching you lose control, Laurel pulled away from her, leaving you wanting more.
"You're crazy about me, aren't you?" She asked you in a suggestive tone, while she ran her hand over your clavicle. You were only able to nod like you were a doll. "You would do anything for me." It was more of a statement than a question.
Her hand moved from your clavicle to your chest, slipping through your cleavage. Her look was different now. She didn't seem to dislike your desire for her at all. You noticed how she grabbed one of your breasts from under the dress, pulling it out through it. You were paralyzed, it's not like you could do anything else. She was your mistress. She could do whatever she wanted to do to you, although she didn't do anything like that until then.
“You have such a beautiful body, you know that? Every time I saw you naked in that cave, I’ve dreamed of caressing it, of kissing it...” she whispered in your ear, while her hand played with your now exposed nipple. “Have you dreamed the same things? Have you dreamed of making love to mommy?” She asked, biting your earlobe.
You nodded again, you were too nervous to utter a single word. Your lack of words seemed to bother her, as she took a firm grip on your chin again.
"I want to hear you say it, honey," she said menacingly.
“Yes,” You said automatically. “I want, I want to make love to you.”
Laurel laughed at your pathetic response. You felt ashamed for being so obvious, now she would have more methods to convince you, even if you weren't a Hyde, you knew she could do it.
The redhead moved a little, leaning back on the steps of that sinister place, decorated for a teenage date.
“Come here, my little Hyde,” she said, making a gesture with her hand.
Faced with orders as simple as that, you couldn't resist in the least. You awkwardly dragged yourself to your knees in front of her. Your conscience cried out for you to wake up from that almost dreamlike state, but even you silenced it, until it was just a small thread of voice inside your head, telling you that she didn't love you, that she was using you, that she was taking advantage of you, and of your feelings. At this point you didn't care about anything but her, always her.
Receiving no further orders, you stayed still, on your knees, watching Laurel undo the buttons of her jumpsuit one by one, revealing small patches of bare skin.
"Do you like what you see?" she asked, knowing she didn't need to hear your answer. "Help me take this off, darling."
Nodding slightly you moved closer to her, lowering her top off her shoulders. You would have liked not to be under her influence, and to be able to enjoy what you did more, but you were a Hyde, you were her Hyde. You were going to strictly comply with any order that she gave, without time for deviations.
You yanked at her clothing, pulling it off through her ankles. Laurel leaned into you, and without warning she brought a hand to your maddeningly aroused center.
“Look at you, you're soaked. You pathetic bitch, I barely touched you and you’re so horny. I should have done this before...”
You overlooked her way of speaking to you, she was right after all.
With a quick movement, she withdrew her hand from you and brought it to her underwear, sliding it gently down her legs.
That vision of her body paralyzed you even more, and you noticed how your heart began to beat rapidly.
"Do you want to touch me, honey?" She asked whispering, caressing herself in that newly discovered area.
You nodded dumbly as was customary and leaned a little towards her.
"Speak." She ordered firmly.
“Yes… I want, I want to touch you,” you said somehow embarrassed.
“So touch me (Y/N), show how much you love mommy,” she said, leaning her head back, without stopping to caress herself.
You moved a little until you were between her legs and without waiting any longer you took your hand to her excited center, caressing it from top to bottom gently.
A cheeky moan escaped her mouth, telling you that you were doing a good job.
Your hand moved slowly, covering every inch of that place that seemed forbidden, unattainable. You stopped when you reached her clit, and began to move in circles around it.
"Oh, fuck, (Y/N),”she groaned. She wasn't a woman who used those kinds of words, but in her state, it wasn't surprising at all.
After a few more moans, she brought her hand to your wrist, stopping you in your action.
“Enough of playing, I want you to fuck me, now,” she said between gasps. It was not clear if she ordered it for her Hyde, or for you as a person, but that was indifferent to you and you obeyed, inserting your fingers into her. Her moans intensified as you kept a steady rhythm, watching how she was enjoying your touch.
She seemed to be close when she stopped you abruptly.
“Use your mouth honey, mommy wants to cum with your sweet mouth,” she said between moans and moans.
You got high to fulfill her wishes and without wasting any more time you started to do what she asked you to do. Doing so excited you much, much more than you ever imagined. You were drenched in her, moving your tongue all over the area, worshiping her as she were a goddess, your goddess. With a few more moans, she grabbed your hair tight and arched her back as you went about your work. When she finished, she gently pulled your head up, drawing you into a small kiss.
"You've done well, honey," she said, pulling you away completely and looking for her clothes.
You stayed there, on your knees, thinking about what had just happened and, above all, about what hadn't happened.
Laurel seemed to realize what you were waiting for as she dressed.
"Oh, my girl, did you expect mommy to make love to you?" she asked with a childish tone.
You nodded almost on the verge of despair.
“No, honey. Only good girls deserve that,” She said almost amused, pulling you, lifting you off the ground. “Do what I asked you, distract that brat and I promise I'll make love to you the way you deserve,” she told you, pretending to beg you, placing your breast back in its place.
“You are going to do it? Will you obey mommy?” She asked in a more usual tone for her.
"Yes, I'll obey. I'll do everything you ask of me." You said, trembling with excitement and frustration. You couldn't deny how madly in love you were with that woman, with your mistress. Laurel smiled briefly at you and placed a brief kiss on her lips, adjusting your clothes.
“Good girl, my good girl,” she whispered in your ear, before leaving, leaving you alone in that crypt, getting used to the idea that you should do what she asked you, you always would.
