-DECEMBER 14 '22-
“Luke!” You called out, walking into the sophomore house, only to be met with silence. The boy had texted you that morning, asking if you were free to stop by his house after your last class. So here you were, standing in the empty and quiet home, something you didn’t know was possible in any hockey house. You made your way trough the place and up the stairs to his room, calling out his name over and over again, but an answer never came. 
“Luke!” You said again, this time a loud bang could be heard coming from the boy’s room, making your eyes grow wide. “Are you okay?” You asked, about to open the door to his bedroom, only for his voice to stop you. 
“Don’t come him! Just… gimme a minute!” He yelled out, making your hand drop from the nob. You stood in front of the door for almost a whole minute until his door opened. The boy greeted you with his lopsided grin, rubbing the back of his neck shyly. 
“Hi.” He said, before looking behind himself quickly. 
“Hey, you okay?” You spoke, your eyes looking into his full of worry. The boy felt his warm skip a couple of beats at the eye contact.
“Yeah, yeah, I just… I tripped over my bed.” He mumbled, clearly embarrassed about it. You tried your hardest to keep your laugh in, but eventually it slipped past your lips, Luke’s face growing red as he looked at the ground. 
“Sorry, sorry. You wanted me to stop by?” 
“Huh? Oh, yeah, right. Come in.” He said stepping aside. Once you were in, you turned around to look at him with a smile, only to notice one of his arm had been behind his back the whole time. 
“Whatcha hiding back there?” You asked curiously with a smile, his heart once again skipping a couple of beats. Without answering, his arm appeared in front of you, a bouquet of Gardenia, looking crushed a little, in his hand. 
“I feel on them.” He explained their odd shapes, only making your smile grow wider. “They’re for you.” 
“Thank you.” You whispered, your hands now holding the flowers. “They’re beautiful, Lu.” You added, a tint of pink flushing on your cheeks. No boy had ever gotten you flowers before, not even last year when your at the time boyfriend asked you to prom, never. You didn’t really understand why he had decided to gift you these on a random day of december, but you weren’t complaining. You finally understood why girls always freaked out whenever they’d receive some, you felt a warmth in your chest you had never felt before, and you loved it. 
“‘M  glad you like them.” 
“I love them, Luke.” You corrected him, walking up to him and wrapping your arms around his neck, the flowers still in your hands. Luke’s arms wrapped around your waist, keeping your body close to his as his head landed in the crock of your neck. 
“I don’t wanna be like a bitch or anything, but why?” 
“Just felt like it. You’ve helped me a lot, balance school and hockey, you’re always there for me. Thank you.” He explained, his voice low and muffled by your neck, but you understood every word he said. 
“No one’s ever bought be flower before.” You admitted, your voice also low and muffled. Your words made Luke pull away from your hug, but his hands remained wrapped around your waist. “What?” 
“You’ve never been given flower before?” 
“No.” You admited, your fingers playing with the curls on the back of his neck. You bit your lip, looking away from his gaze as he looked at you with a look you couldn’t describe. 
“You’re ex never bought you flowers?” He asked after a couple of seconds. You nodded your head to the side slightly, bitting down on your lips harder as you felt Luke’s grip on your waist tighten. “He’s an idiot.” The boy added softly, making you smile slightly. 
“Yeah, he is.” You sighed, thinking about how toxic your relationship had been. 
“You deserve all the flowers in the world, Y/N/N.” The boy mumbled, making your eyes fly up to meet his. The two of you stared at each other for a couple of seconds before Luke spoke once again. “The other guys are too dumb to see it, but I do. You deserve everything in the whole world.” He continued, his voice still as low as before. 
“Yeah? And who’s gonna give me that, Lulu. All boys want now is sex, they don’t care about the whole romance thing.” 
“I do. I can give you all that.” The boy whispered, one of his hand leaving your waist to cup your cheek. “I care about all the romance thing if you care about it, Y/N. I want to do all those couple things you always complain about because you don’t have anyone to do it with. I can be that guy, I want to be that guy, just for you.” He admitted, his face slowly getting closer and closer to yours until your foreheads were touching. 
Saying you didn’t feel anything for the youngest Hughes boy would be a complete lie. You had never been happier around another person before, being with Luke gave you this euphoric feeling of joy, and it was like a drug. You always wanted to be around him, you always wanted to feel those little butterflies in your stomach whenever he’d stare at you during a conversation. You were addicted to way he made you feel, you were addicted to him. You wanted him just as much as he wanted you. 
“Promise you won’t hurt me.” 
“Hurting you is the last thing I’ll ever do. You deserve to be happy, and I want to give you that.” The boy answered, leaning his head down a little lower so your nose were now touching as well. “I promise.” He added, and the next second your lips were on his. 
Suddenly, it was like the world stopped, all you could think about was the boy in front of you, and how you never wanted this moment to end. You found comfort in the kiss you were sharing, weirdly enough since it was the first one the two of you shared, but it felt like home. 
“I want you to be my boyfriend, Lu.” You said once the two of you pulled away. Your words made the boy chuckle a little before answering you. 
“Let me take you out on a date before, yeah?” 
“No. I don’t need to spend a night with you doing whatever to know how I feel about you, Luke. I want to be with you.” You said, and the boy nodded a bit before connecting your lips again for a short moment. 
“Girlfriend?” 
“Boyfriend.” 
~
“Woah! What’s going on over here?” Dylan asked later that evening, walking into his best friend’s bedroom, only to find the two of you half asleep, you body on top of Luke’s as his arms keep you close to his chest. 
“Get out.” Luke mumbled before turning on his side as you cuddle closer to him. “And don’t say a fucking word about this to anyone.” 
“Gosh, moody much.” The Duker boy said under his breath before walking out and closing the door. 
“I’m hungry.” You spoke, your voice gentle as you slowly woke up. 
“Wanna order something?” Luke asked softly, making you nod against his chest slightly. The boy then reached for his phone and started ordering from your favourite fast food place. 
“I had a dream, and it made me think of something.” You spoke again after a couple of seconds. 
“Tell me about it.” 
“I was shopping with Eva, and we went to Lululemon, and it reminded me of you.” You explained, your voice still softly as your eyes barely stayed opened. 
“Me?” 
“Yeah, ‘cause it’s called Lululemon. I’m gonna start calling you lemon now.” You told him, making him chuckle a bit. “Lulu the lemon.” 
“Does that mean I am supposed to call you lime?” He joked, finishing up the order on his phone and dropping it on his mattress as he moved to his back. You stayed sideways, your head now resting fully on his chest as one of your hands ran over his abs. 
“Please don’t.” 
“It’s fitting though, you’re sour like a lime.” He joked, making you look up at him with a frown. 
“Hey, that’s not nice.” You mumbled, only making him chuckle even more than before.

Luca Fantilli - Free Time
Tumblr media
The goal horn thundered throughout Amalie Arena after this entire season of memories being made Michigan had lost to Quinnipiac and it was over. You saw the heartbreak of your hockey family, as the boys filed through the handshake line before heading back to their respective ends. You tried to keep your emotions pushed down to put on a smile for your boyfriend Luca, you knew how upset he would be after going this far his freshman year, especially with it being an overtime loss to end his season.
You waited with the other families to get to the locker room after the game ended, and people began to file out of the arena. You stood with the Fantillis and waited until you saw Adam walk out of the locker room. He showed a half smile with red eyes, then looked back down at the ground dropping his things and slowly walking to his parents. You watched the family hug, feeling a little awkward and bad for Adam, if he was like this you couldn’t imagine how Luca would be. The family hug broke apart, and Adam turned to face you. You opened your arms, for him to fall into,
“Thanks, Y/N,” he sniffled.
“Of course Adam, I’m sorry about the game,” you said as you let go. He wiped his eyes as you waited for Luca to come out of the locker room. You watched a few more players walk out then there he was, your sweet boy a mess. He like Adam walked over to the Fantillis hugging them with Adam joining in, then the two brothers hugged, making you start to get emotional. Luca looked up from Adam’s shoulder seeing you standing behind him. He let go of Adam and wiped his eyes as if he was embarrassed to be seen crying in front of you. He slowly approached you, clearing his throat.
“Come here, Lu,” you held out your arms. He fell into your arms sniffling, as the tears all started again. No embarrassment, no judgment, just being there for him through this tough time. You played with his hair as his head rested on your shoulder, and you rubbed his back with your other hand. Your hug broke apart after a moment, you kept your arm on his back, as he kept his arm around you. You walked down the hallway all the way to the exit of the arena where the Quinnipiac fans were waiting to taunt the team. You screamed back at those taunting and yelling at you as you got Luca to the bus. The boys threw their things underneath and got on,
“I’ll see you later babe,” Luca said. The door closed behind him, you waved goodbye as the bus pulled away. 
You got to the hotel and saw a few of the boys sitting in the lobby, Adam was one of them. He smiled and waved when he saw you,
“Room 307 Y/N,” he said, “we couldn’t get him to come down, so hopefully you can cheer him up.” You nodded and headed towards the elevator. On your trip up to the third floor, you thought about how to approach Luca. The doors slid open giving you less time to think. You walked down the hall to the room waiting outside the door for a minute, you were about to knock when the door opened.
“Oh hey Y/N,” he said.
“Going somewhere?” you asked.
“Not anymore, I was gonna look for Adam he wasn’t answering me but, now you’re here.” He smirked and grabbed your hand pulling you into the room, and shutting the door behind you. He let go of you and flopped on his bed. He let out a dramatic sigh, staring at the ceiling.
“Lu?” He turned his head to look at you. He gave you an annoyed look, then went back to staring at the ceiling.
“What babe?”
“I know you’re upset.” With that statement, he snapped up. He sat up and turned to face you,
“I’m just disappointed, you know for the older guys, it’s hard.” He patted the bed next to him, you sat down. 
“I know that’s not it, what’s on your mind?” Luca went silent. You put your hand on his hand that was resting on his thigh. He looked at you and locked his fingers with yours.
“I don’t know, it just went so fast Y/N, I wanted that winning feeling to last a little longer,” he gave a half smile and shrugged.
“Are you reading my mind? I was literally thinking that earlier,” you laughed.
“I guess we are feeling the same thing,”
“Yeah,” he rubbed his thumb on your hand. You kicked off your shoes and lied down back on the bed, sighing. He lied next to you, gazing into your eyes. You pulled his head onto your chest, playing with his hair. He closed his eyes and smiled,
“You know Lu, it’s not so bad,” he rolled over on his stomach to be lying on top of you. You continued playing with his hair as he looked at you.
“I guess, don’t know what’ll do with all my free time, hmm maybe video games with the boys all the time, as well as school work obviously,” he smirked.
“Woah bud, you forgetting anything”
“No I don’t think so,” he teased.
“Don’t play dumb Fantilli,” you rolled your eyes. He grinned, raising his eyebrows, then scooted closer to your face. He placed his hand on your cheek, locking his lips with yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck, trying to pull him closer which was impossible. You both gasped for air, as you ran out of breath, locking your lips once more, your hands moved from his neck to his back. You held him tightly as you broke apart once more. He opened his eyes smiling,
“Maybe I’ll make some time for that too,” he said, moving off your chest to the space on the bed next to you.
“Oh, you think?”
“Shut up,” he laughed, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
“Okay okay, did I cheer you up though?” you asked grinning.
“I don’t know, I’m still a little upset,” he gave you puppy dog eyes.
“What am I gonna do with you babe?” you sighed. 
“This.” He pulled your face to him once again pressing his lips to yours, putting his other arm around you, and pulled you into his chest. You ruffled his hair, as the kiss deepened. 
“More time with my girl,” he said.
“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” you smiled.

So, after surviving a crappy year, I decided my reward would be yet another rewatch of Desire Catcher. I know this fandom is kinda tiny, but I always enjoy reading other people’s random thoughts and observations so I thought I’d throw mine out there too.
There are, of course, a bunch of different crime-related plot lines in the show, but this is basically going to just be me yelling about Luo Fei and Lu Fengping, seeing as I remain obsessed with them. I’m always up for discussing these two nerds in love, so feel free to tag me or message me (*waves to @thinkonce-acttwice!*). I’m at about the halfway point now, so I’ll post again once I finish the rest of the episodes.
Overall, I really like Desire Catcher - the various bits of plot don’t quite come together in the end, but for me it’s more about the relationships and themes of revenge, regret, and forgiveness. So, lots of angst, which I’m always a big fan of, and which I suppose says something about me…
Luo Fei! Light of my life, the silent, broody, lone wolf cop - ACAB, of course, but he’s firmly in sad (not-so-little) man territory, which is catnip to me. Plus he has a collection of black leather jackets - need I say more?
Lu Fengping! Other light of my life - Luo Fei’s future boyfriend, I mean consulting hypnotist, the more outgoing, “quirky” one. He’s always in light colors, dashing around with a lollipop in his mouth (I know there's a cute connection with his mom about them, but that aside, “oral fixation vibes” anyone?), teasing everyone around him - contrasted with Luo Fei’s dark colors, grim expressions, and workaholic nature. Though it’s interesting that as the show goes on it becomes clear that some of Lu Fengping’s affectations are really a mask he puts on to hide his pain (yay, angst!).
Their first real meeting happens over a meal; it’s dark, it’s raining, there’s thunder in the distance - foreboding and romantic all at once. There’s definitely a teasing/flirty vibe there, though Luo Fei seems wary of Lu Fengping - in fairness, Lu Fengping is sort of using him for info on his mom’s murder case, though it gets a lot more complicated than that as time goes on.
While there’s a lot of emphasis on their differences (e.g., dark vs. light), it’s interesting to note how similar Luo Fei and Lu Fengping actually are, even if they don’t see it yet. For example, Luo Fei has trance-like visions as he imagines what happened at a crime scene, much like how Lu Fengping sort of walks around in someone’s mind/memories when he’s hypnotizing them.
So I know this is mainly about the boyfriends, but I want to say that I love all the other members of the investigation team too, especially Liang Yin - definitely not a fan of the “woman suffers for man pain” thing, but they do give her a couple of moments of reclaiming her agency, which I liked.
Luo Fei and Lu Fengping kind of dance around the whole I-know-you-know-more-about-my-mom’s-death thing for most of the first half of the show, at least until it all comes out when Lu Fengping hypnotizes Luo Fei (and WTF suggesting that Zhang Yu - you were supposed to be the show’s moral compass!). Like I get that by this point they’re becoming closer, feeling more open to each other, but still - you’re just rooting around in his brain without permission, my guy. Yikes.
I’m a big fan of parallels and I think we get a pretty significant one here between Luo Fei/Lu Fengping and the story of the relationship between Xiao Xifeng and Tu Liansheng. While you could certainly read it as just two longtime friends, the flashback scenes of them raising the abandoned kid together certainly give off a “couple-y” vibe. Given that the show can’t come right out and say anyone is actually gay/queer, to me it’s a way of floating the idea out there and letting people draw their own conclusions.
Speaking of reading into things, I had to go there and look up the various books shown strewn around Lu Fengping’s apartment. There were two romance novels (“Crimes of the Heart” by Allie Harrison and “Yesterday’s Bride” by Charlotte Walker), another female-centric novel (“Things to Make and Mend” by Ruth Thomas), a financial memoir (“The Age of Turbulence” by Alan Greenspan), and, my personal fav, some gay French shit (“Remembrance of Things Past” by Marcel Proust). Kind of an odd combo of things, but there are some bits that do seem to fit with the themes of the show - lots of misunderstandings, mistakes, not wanting to lose the people close to you. The Greenspan book is more of an outlier, but it does have the theme of “the invisible hand” - it’s mainly an economic term, but you could extrapolate it more generally to people acting on instinct, rather than in a calculated way, sort of like how Lu Fengping’s mom acts to save Liang Yin, setting off a chain of events (kind of a stretch, though). And I guess I don’t have to say much about the Proust - feels like the kind of book you’d use as shorthand for “some gay stuff is happening here, folks.” Plus, the book deals with memory and how people can perceive the same thing in totally different ways, which seems relevant to the mom’s death story line.
Getting back to the gay stuff, there were definitely a few things that made me 👀. First, when Lu Fengping says “no problem” a little too forcefully when Luo Fei tells him to wait outside while he changes - like, “don’t worry, bro, I totally don’t want to see you naked, nope, not at all, hahaha” (combine that with his comment “You don’t like men? Haha, neither do I!” in a later episode to Liang Yin - feels like he’s protesting a bit much). Second, they’re always kind of flirty with each other, even if it’s subtle. There just seems to be a bit of subtext in a line like “You’re in a pretty unique situation” when Luo Fei sees Lu Fengping facedown on the floor at one point, not to mention the looks they give each other when Lu Fengping ends up stumbling to his knees in front of Luo Fei (and you can’t tell me that that was a totally accidental push on the part of Lu Fengping’s mentor - he totally ships them too, IMHO). Third, you can’t overlook the jealousy that rears its head when Luo Fei sees Lu Fengping getting flirty with the (eventually evil) nurse, or when he thinks Lu Fengping brought a girl home to his apartment. Fourth, there are several bits of convo that play around with subtext and seem aimed at the audience with a wink and a nudge. For example, there’s the bit in the car where Lu Fengping brings up marriage (sure, it’s in reference to a different character, but Luo Fei has a justifiable WTF reaction), asks if Luo Fei has a girlfriend, and basically tries to set him up with a female client of his (who, it should be noted, sounds suspiciously like Lu Fengping himself - “very outgoing; your personalities complement each other very well”) in the span of about 10 seconds. Luo Fei gives him his best “bitch, please” look and ditches him - I’m with you on this one, boo. Then there’s a weird bit of dialogue when they’re searching a suspect’s very neat and orderly apartment - Lu Fengping says “A man living by himself can keep a place like this clean. He wouldn’t be that thing…” - long pause, pointed look at Luo Fei - “OCD or something like that?” The audience knows at this point that Luo Fei’s apartment is just as well-kept, and there seems to be an implication that Lu Fengping is actually referring to the stereotype of gay men being very neat. And how could I not mention the fight scene in the gym - beyond the groping, grunting, and full-body contact of their grappling session, the looks they give each other afterward, the small smiles when the other isn’t looking, Lu Fengping thanking Luo Fei for bringing flowers to his mom’s grave - it’s a lot.
DATE NIGHT! (Sorry, I just get really excited about this part.) So here we have Mr. Uptight, known-to-not-drink-with-his co-workers-ever Luo Fei agreeing to go out with Lu Fengping after work and proceeding to get shitfaced (or does he…? He seems suspiciously sober after Lu Fengping puts him to bed and leaves the room). It’s tropey (drunken piggyback ride), it’s sweet (Lu Fengping tearing up when he sees he’s been added to the work group chat), it’s typical man shit (drinking instead of talking about feelings). They’re both just so tender and raw right under the surface and it makes me slightly feral, ngl. Also, the bit with Luo Fei’s parents there in the morning - I love how Lu Fengping immediately charms them and how they rush off like, “oops, sorry son, didn’t realize you brought a 'friend' home - we didn’t mean to interrupt!” And, of course, Liang Yin’s knowing smile when she sees them show up to work together the next morning; at this point in the show I’m not sure there’s any character who doesn’t ship it…
On a sad note, poor Xiao Liu - all he wanted was for his boss Luo Fei to be proud of him. Sure, he fucked up a couple of times, but he still didn’t deserve to get stabbed to death like that, nor just become another brick in the wall of Luo Fei’s “man pain.” (Also, WTF Luo Fei - do not throw papers at your subordinates - not cool, bro.) I’m probably reading too much into things, but there was kind of an undercurrent of Xiao Liu having a little bit of a crush on Luo Fei - he seemed so sad that Luo Fei had drinks with Lu Fengping almost immediately after meeting him, while Xiao Liu had been waiting to do that with Luo Fei for years. Interesting to note too that Xiao Liu also favored lighter-colored clothing, much like Lu Fengping (more of the light vs. dark trope).
Alright, well, this got away from me a bit… Looking forward to the second half of DC and all that delicious angst. 🖤

Accusation
Tumblr media
Link Click fic 3!!!! Ahhh I’m obsessed with them. I included Qiao Ling once again because she makes this group.
Warnings: This fic contains tickling so if that’s not your thing keep scrolling ❤️
Summery: Lu Guang accuses Cheng Xiaoshi of something. Lu Guang gets a taste of his own medicine. Chaos.
With those two boys around, the shop was in constant chaos. Qiao Ling had just come down the stairs that morning, still rubbing sleep out of her eyes, when she nearly fell over. It was a rushed blur with black hair followed by a blur with white hair.
“QIAO LING SAVE ME!!” Cheng Xiaoshi cried in a high pitched panic. He let out a shriek as Lu Guang nearly caught onto his varsity jacket.
They played cat and mouse around the living room as Lu Guang was hot on the raven heads trails.
Qiao Ling sighed. Although she was annoyed, she couldn’t help the grin on her face. It wasn’t really home unless those two were behaving like cats and dogs. She had to admit it added to the quiet atmosphere of the photo shop.
Soon Cheng Xiaoshi made a break for it up the stairs, and they were soon out of sight. Suddenly the landlady heard a loud thump.
She then grew worried. What was Lu Guang going to do to him? What did Cheng Xiaoshi even do? And what was that thump upstairs?
She suddenly heard an explosion of uncontrolled high pitched cackles.
Qiao Ling then understood immediately what was happening now. She made it up the stairs to see Lu Guang having pinned Cheng Xiaoshi, squeezing and massaging at his hips vigorously.
“Where is my book!!!???” Lu Guang yelled. “IHIHIHI TOHOHLD YOHOHOHU IHIHIHI DOHOHNT KNOHOHOW!!!” Cheng Xiaoshi writhed, pulling uselessly at his wrists.
“BULLSHIT!” And he went for his stomach now, unleashing his most brutal attack yet, making the raven head squeal and his laughter intensify.
Cheng Xiaoshi then noticed Qiao Ling watching from the side. “QIAHAHAO LIHIHING HEHEHEHELP!!!”
She considered this for a moment. If she helped Cheng Xiaoshi, he would be even more in her debt than he already was for her helping him. But if she did help him, Lu Guang might end up going for her next in revenge. But then, Lu Guang wouldn’t possibly attack a women like that, right?
She saw that Cheng Xiaoshi seemed to be really struggling and she started to feel pity for him. She decided she needed the guy alive in order for him to fulfill his debt promise.
From behind, she dug her fingers into Lu Guangs sides and, he bursted into his rare giggles, immediately retracting his hands from Cheng Xiaoshis body reflexively to protect his own. He fell back into Qiao Lings arms as she wiggled her fingers.
In that moment of weakness Cheng Xiaoshi managed to slip free under him and sat on his legs to further pin him down.
“Thanks landlady,” he grinned, “now this can be a little more fair.”
“Ihihidiohohot hohohow ihihihis thihihis fahahair?!” Lu Guang protested, trying to squirm away from Qiao Lings hands.
“Because you know I’m more ticklish than you and that I don’t stand a chance by myself. I need backup to help me out here if I’m going to take you down!”
Cheng Xiaoshi started digging into his hips. “How’d you like that huh? Not so fun when you’re the victim!”
Lu Guang bucked his hips and began laughing hysterically. “NOHOHO PLEHEHEAHSE!!!”
“Aww what’s wrong Lu Guang? Can’t take what you dish out?” Cheng Xiaoshi teased.
“IHIHIHI JUHUHUST WAHAHANT MY BOHOHOHOOK BAHAHAHAHACK!!!”
“And I told you I don’t have it!” Cheng Xiaoshi insisted once more.
“Wait you mean that book? The one I saw next to the coffee table?” Qiao Ling interjected, stopping her fingers.
Cheng Xiaoshi stopped tickling also and looked down at Lu Guang.
Lu Guang looked sheepish now. He had jumped to conclusions.
“Lu Guang…”
“Um.. sorry about that.”
Uh oh… this could get pretty ugly.
“I think this calls for some serious pay back, don’t you think Qiao Ling?”
“W-wait…”
“Yeah you’re right Cheng Xiaoshi.” Qiao Ling grinned, now seriously getting caught up in the playfulness of the situation. She took his arms and grabbed them, holding his wrists above his head
Cheng Xiaoshi then began attacking his worst spot, digging into his top most ribs.
Lu Guang felt as if electricity was being spread all over his body. He convulsed at the intense sensations.
“WAHAHAHAHAIT NOHOHOHO!!!” He threw his head back and became lost in hysterical cackles. He struggled at first but soon became weak and just lay there to take it.
“PLEHEHEHEASE IHIHIM SOHOHOHORRY!!!” He attempted to push his arms away but it was really no use. Cheng Xiaoshi had him good. He also occasionally went under his shirt to get his belly as well. It didn’t help that Qiao Ling was tickling his neck, which made him uncharacteristically squeal and try bringing his shoulders up to attempt to trap her fingers.
Soon his laughter went almost silent and the two noticed he was starting to have a lot of trouble breathing.
They both let him go and he could do nothing but curl in on himself and try to catch his breath.
“Ihihi hahahate yohohu guhuhuys…” He managed through his excess giggles.
“Awe but you love us!” Cheng Xiaoshi teased, poking the white haired boys red flushed cheek.
He was a lot more careful of accusing others from then on.

Crowwwwwwwww you're giving me mushy brain :(
I'd love to see the ghoulettes enjoying the abbey grounds on a nice spring day. Lunch by the lake where they feed each other fruit. Wandering through the rose garden, Sunshine picking flowers for them all to pit in their hair. Holding hands while they watch the sunset. Just give me SWEET LADIES PLS I BEG ♡
mushy mushy ladies for femslash februaryyyy
Balmy spring afternoons are always the ghoulette’s favorite. Something about the way the air smells, the way the breeze ruffles the green buds on the trees; it’s a renewing, grounding feeling that air elementals long for every year. As soon as the winter’s chill finally breaks and the icy bite of the air is replaced with the sweetness of regrowth, Cirrus, Cumulus, and Sunshine are outside as much as their schedules will allow it.
Sunshine is bounding through the rose garden with Cirrus and Cumulus in tow. Her lithe form floats amongst the baby blooms of ivory, blush pink, and crimson, seemingly opening up ever so slightly as she passes by.
“Come on, little clouds!” She yells back to them, grinning wide. Cirrus flies after her, but Cumulus has given up trying to catch either of them.
“Both of your legs are too long! You’re like little fairies I just can’t get my hands on,” she laughs, taking a shortcut through a break in the shrubbery.
Cirrus grabs Sunshine around the waist once she catches her, making the smaller ghoulette giggle with glee. She tries to scurry her way out of her arms, but Cirrus holds fast, peppering her cheek with little kisses and a playful nip or two.
“Caught the little star, ‘Lusy!” Cirrus shuffles them around the corner and back to Cumulus.
“’Put her in your pocket, never let her fade away,’” she sings, reaching out to them and completing the Sunshine sandwich. “What should we do with her now that we’ve caught her?”
“Hm,” Cirrus muses playfully, looking at her as if she were a frog they captured from the creek. “I think we should . . .” she trails off for dramatic effect. Sunshine holds her breath, biting back a smile.
“Eat her!” Cirrus and Cumulus say in unison, unleashing kisses and pinches in all the places they can reach. It’s their favorite game, one to which they all know the pattern. Sunshine squeals and chirps with delight, wriggling under their ticklish touches.
“Mercy! Mercy! Spare me, oh devilish ones!” she laughs.
“Oh, I don’t know, sweet Sunshine,” Cirrus purrs against her jaw. “You’re so delicious, why should we let you go?”
Cumulus lowers the tone of her voice too, devious. “Tell us, little sprite.”
Sunshine blushes, ducking her head into her shoulder. “I dunno,” she says shyly. But the smirk she’s hiding says otherwise.
“You mean to tell us you are not the most delicious little slice of sunshine we have managed to capture thus far?” Cirrus pokes her on the cheek.
“No,” she giggles, squirming in their arms. “I taste like mud and bugs!” Somehow, she breaks free from their grasp, trilling and laughing as she runs away. Cirrus and Cumulus just laugh along, following after Sunshine once more.
Later, they end up at the lake, sprawled out on a blanket on the cool grass. Sunshine is peeling clementines, the citrus scent blanketing them with its sweetness. Cumulus’ head is in her lap, fluffy curls splaying out over her crossed legs. Cirrus leans against Sunshine’s back with her head dropped against her shoulder, basking in the setting sunlight.
“Lus,” Sunshine says, plopping a small slice in her mouth. “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”
Cirrus’ laugh reverberates through her back. Cumulus looks up at her, eyes crinkling. “If you were a worm?” she verifies.
“Yeah, you know,” she says through chewing, “if I randomly turned into a worm. Would you still love me?”
“Of course, I would still love you. Put you in a little jar and carry you everywhere we go.”
Sunshine chirps at that. “You would?”
“I’d get Mountain to help us make you a terrarium. Could stick you in the greenhouse and feed you whatever worms eat,” Cirrus chimes in.
“Decorate your enclosure with flowers and sticks and leaves.”
“You’d be the cutest worm.” Cirrus tips her head back further to place a kiss on Sunshine’s jaw.
They sit in contended silence for a while, sharing the last of the clementines. Sunshine idly twirls pieces of Cumulus’ hair, running her fingers over all the rosebuds her and Cirrus had placed there. They look like a pastel galaxy—pinpricks of petals in a bright blonde sky. She pets Cirrus’ hair too, having laid down next to Sunshine’s thigh, weaving her raven-black hair into Cumulus’ light strands.
The sun sits just on the horizon of the lake, bathing the three in a honey-amber glow. Sunshine breathes in the scent of spring and renewal, sighing happily. She closes her eyes, letting the light settle over her eyelids.
“It’s like it’s giving me a hug,” she says quietly.
Cumulus looks up at her, admiring the way her entire being seems to glow. It pulls on something deep in her chest and makes her smile. She reaches down to intertwine her hand in hers. Cirrus reaches up and overhead to capture Cumulus’ free hand, completing their little circle.
They sit in silence, giving small squeezes to each other’s hands until the sun goes down.

MXTX and Marie Lu: an unnecessary long post about writers I like very very much
spoilers for Heaven Officials Blessing and the Legend series but not that bad
tldr; They describe things and I like that but I had to make it this long and add some stuff about writing and cultural expectations cuz i guess ill always be an english major at heart
Ok so I need to get this off my chest so I hope youre interested in writing, describing things and cultural expectations
So I've started reading Heaven Officials Blessing cuz I like gay and sad people and I love the donghua so much but BOI THAT WOMAN CAN HURT ME SO GOOD >:D
The simplicity of her words may be due to translation, her own style or part of the normal style in China but it contributes a lot to the books in my opinion. It is because of her simplicity that the reader is able to follow her long and detail descriptions.
Now, a lot of writers like to describe things, and MXTX does this a lot. She describes clothes, places, faces, etc when it's necessary for the story. But what I love about her is how she describes certain actions and moments.
There are moments that just cannot be described in 3 sentences, they're too important. The example that I want to show has not left my mind since I read it because it was one of the best slaps in the face ever.
TGCF Vol. 2: (from the free version I could find but it'll do)
"Before he even finished, there was a loud scream, and Hong Hong-er leapt to his feet, running towards Guoshi to headbutt him.
His voice was young and tender, but his screams were filled with rage, as if his heart was filled to the brim with unspeakable pain and anguish, making many of those present shiver. That young child was covered in injuries, yet he tore and hit out at them like a red-eyed rabid dog, violent and aggressive.
The Deputy Guoshi blocked Hong Hong-er and Guoshi backed away, yelling, “MAKE HIM LEAVE THE MOUNTAIN, HURRY! Don’t touch him, I mean it! That fortune is too toxic, don’t touch him!”
The Deputy Guoshi hurriedly moved aside, and Mu Qing and Feng Xin didn’t know whether to act. Seeing that everyone was avoiding him like he was a poisonous snake, that child was
shaken and started thrashing even harder, biting and screaming.
“I’m not! I’M NOT!! I’M NOT!!!!”
Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped him around the waist, encircling his small form. A voice came from above his head.
Like look at this! This moment cant be longer than 2 minutes and its described in such way that breaks me. The voice and actions of the little kid (who is kinda doing a bad job saying "hey im not actually dangerous/toxic") get under your skin. The descriptions of his voice, his figure, how he looks yelling, how everyone reacts to this moment, how the MC reacts to this...its all just so amazing. The description grabs you by the ear and it makes you listen, it makes you watch. And thanks to that harrowing description the last bit really gets to the reader. Finally someone bothered to actually listen to the kid and console him. It's so fucking beautiful and it makes me want to eat glass. It really gives you the feelings that an angel really came from above to save a child from the pain in his own heart.
“You’re not. I know you’re not. Don’t cry, now. I know you’re not.”
That young child pressed his lips closed tightly, grabbing on to that pair of snow-white sleeves around his waist with a death grip. He forced himself to hold back for a long time, but in the end, he couldn’t. A stream of tears suddenly rolled down from that round, black eye, and he burst out crying."
And all this emotion, this care for the craft reminded me of something, of someone. The queen the legend Marie Lu.
Although I would say she follows the regular American conventions when it comes to writing (she is american after all), she also takes care in her descriptions. However, in this case I want to talk about how she describes feelings. Marie Lu's characters are not just happy or sad but they have Feelings that just need to be expressed on the page otherwise they will explode. An example:
LEGEND SERIES BOOK 4 REBEL:
I nod again. "I'm sorry. I-"
"I find myself nodding through my tears, wishing I could have turned to him sooner, wishing I could be more like him in every way. "I see them every night," I say to him, my words breaking. "They're there every time I close my eyes, I jump at every sound. I see a soldier in every person standing at a corner. I thought- I thought if I could just drown it all out in the Undercity, if I could replace it with something else so loud and overwhelming, that it might go away- I thought if I could just see the Republic again, return home and understand my past..."
The pain in Daniel's eyes is raw and real. The fear of this was what had kept me silent for so long. He nods once, his hands firmly on my shoulders. "I see them too," he says quietly. "I should have talked to you about my nightmares. I can't expect you to open up to me if I don't do the same."
"Don't be." His eyes soften, and he pulls me into a hug. "You didn't do anything wrong."
It is his embrace that finally breaks my last barrier. I cry and cry and cry. I cry because I'd never let myself truly understand my own brother, because I'd never understood myself. I cry for all the lives that our pasts have set on different paths- for June's loss of her family, for Tess's loss of her childhood, for Daniel becoming a parent when he was himself just a boy. I cry because I'm grateful that we still, in spite of everything, have all found each other.
Because sometimes, broken pieces find a way to make a new whole."
NOW WHY AM I BOTHERING WITH ALL OF THIS. A couple of days ago one of my favorite video essayist youtubers said that his best writing advice was to keep things simple, that that was the best way to write.
This is just one of my favorite moments ever. The MC has been bottling things up for the whole book and on that scene he finally let's everything go. His brother also finally let's go his own fear and allows himself to be soft with his brother. The scene, however, would not work as well as it does without the description of the moment right before he breaks down crying. The feelings he can sense from his brother, his own feelings about his own perceived weakness, etc. These descriptions just gives the reader a window to see how much the characters have in their hearts. Again, it's so many emotions they could explode. Like this scene could have cut short in multiple ways and if it was recorded for a TV show it would not feel as long as it does in the book. Lu bothers with these descriptions to remind the reader that the characters have real feelings inside. They twist and change as it would happen to someone real and that's amazing. I love how she does it every time.
So how come these scenes, really description heavy, are this fucking cool and a short and fast description would not have been able to make them justice?
It's because usually when we talk about "keeping things simple" or "show dont tell" we want to apply them for everything. We want to apply them no matter the author, genre, target audience, etc.
This book explains it way better that I ever could but basically, writing tips and advice are based on what we consider normal. Most people consider the american conventions the rule, so when someone doesn't apply them to their writing, the writing is flawed. In the same book it is mentioned how typical Chinese writing prefers telling over showing things. They just love the details and that can be seen in MXTX's writing. She is following conventions that usually would be deemed as "wrong." Going back to Marie Lu, I want to think that she knows a bit about Chinese writing but she also knows that, even if its not the rule, descriptions help her writing alot; which is why she does it.
This is a nice and long way to tell you that when you read something pls do it with an open mind. Please dont have a mental list of what makes good of bad writing ready to point out an author's flaws. You could be discovering a new convention from a different culture, a convention that can be game changing for the book.

Welcome back to the Avatar Programme
Part 9 of 13
Summary: Things are ramping up to the war arc of the story, but before that, relationships are being defined.
Warning: A little bit of fluff(?), a little bit of angst(?), A little bit of tears falling(?)
Tumblr media
As the month came to an end, I had grown much closer with Lyle. And not long after, I received a message from Grace. Jake had convinced Mo’at and Eytukan to let her come back to the village, which was huge news. She had conversed with them to let me return too. They agreed to that too, which I was grateful for. The following day, I would leave for Site 26 with a duffel bag in tow. Trudy agreed to fly me and my avatar out, and Lyle joined us as we made our way to the Hallelujah Mountains. It was his first time out there, as he looked out in silent awe.
“I guess I won't be seeing you for a while,” Lyle pulled me into a hug.
“Don't worry, I’ll call you every night,” I tucked my head as close as I could into his neck, and he reciprocated it. As Trudy cut off the engine as she fake gagged, I hopped out her samson, running into Site 26. 
“Hey Grace!” I called out.
“”She’s out in her avatar!” Norm yelled back.
“Hey, Norm. Which cradle is free?”
“Uh, that one over there,” he pointed to the metal tube on my left, rushing to it I plopped my bag next to it, “I'm going in. Could you help me out?”
Opening the cradle I settled in as Norm sighed as he sauntered over, closing metal capsule. I could hear the light whirling sound before I closed my eyes.
Opening my eyes in my avatar form, I was greeted by Lyle’s form next to me. Trudy had already gotten out and entered the small facility.
“And she lives,” he joked, looking at my avatar form. I smirked a little before gently rubbing his bald head. Getting out of the samson once again I stretched my legs, arms and back feeling a light tug on my tail. I looked back to find Lyle, checking it out as it swished back and forth. Smiling at the strange display. A movement in the window caught my eye, I looked up to find Norm glaring and an amused Trudy by his side, their lips moving as they were saying something that I couldn't hear.
“Oh great,” I huffed, rolling my eyes.
“What's wrong?” Lyle asked. I turned to him gesturing for him to follow me away from the samson. He hopped out, looking at the window seeing the two standing there as Norm grits his teeth as Trudy’s lips pulled into a tight grin, she pulled him to the other window to watch us as we receded into the treeline out of sight, I sat down on the grass with my blue legs stretched out so I could still see his Lyle’s face more clearly.
“Norm doesn't like you much. Well actually– the science team,” I told him, “But, not me.” I chirped. He chuckled at that. “But you must find it weird that I'm also tall…and blue…and well – not human? Well, in this form.”
“No, no. You’re still you, not matter if you’re tall…blue…not human,” he mirrored, he reached out to grab my hand, “But you’re still beautiful, smart…too good for little ol’ bald me,” his hand was small against mine, but it was warm and made me giggle at the size difference. I guess I was right about him being a softie, under his otherwise stoic ‘i'm a soldier’ appearance.
“I know it's a little early for me to say, but um…yawne lu oer,” he looked up at me, my eyes widened. Not just at his almost flawless pronunciation but at the phrase itself.
“Huh?” 
He let out a soft chuckle before repeating himself, “nga yawne lu oer.” My heart raced as my face heated up, my cheeks and ears turning purple.
“Oh, nga yaw–” I passed out before I could finish. Waking up in the cradle, I pushed it open to find Norm standing over me.
“What the fuck are you doing, Norm!” I looked to his hand, as it rested on the interface of my cradle.
“What the fuck am I doing?” he asked increduously with fury, “What the fuck are you doing? You were about to say ‘nga yawne lu oer’ to that guy, (Y/N)!” Trudy came to in between us in attempt to calm the two of us down, as Norm resisted with a pair of binoculars in his other hand. Piecing it together, my heart beating with outrage.
“Were you spying on us?” the sound of the door opening interrupted our yelling, as Lyle stormed in behind Norm with mask in hand, he spotted the binoculars in his hand and yanked it out. 
“You’re lucky my girl is here, otherwise I would beat your ass,” Lyle cussed at Norm, pushing past him and Trudy to come to my side. He knelt down next to me, cupping my face his other hand, when he caught his breath he spoke.
“I meant what I said. And I know you were going to say it back. But someone–,” he turned to face Norm, “–interupted us. So, it okay,” he turned back to me, “say it again.”
I calmed my heart down, taking a breath, making eye contact with Lyle, “nga yawne lu oer.” He sighed in relief, pulling me in and kissing my forehead.
  I happened to glance over at Norm and Trudy who were still stood there, Trudy with a smug smile and Norm who looked like he was about to explode. Lyle had turned to the two and when he made eye contact with Norm. Norm pulled his hand away from Trudy, grabbing a mask and left the facility, slamming the door loudly.
It got awkward real quickly. Oh Eywa, it's gonna get real tense in here once Lyle is gone.
“Oh damn,” Trudy bust out laughing, “Lyle Wainfleet, you are definitely whipped.”
After Trudy and Lyle left, I was left to my own devices. Grace and Jake were still in their cradles and Norm had yet to return. He’d stormed off into the distance, most definitely to vent his frustrations and didn't come back in until it was dark. Jake and Grace were already out of their cradle by then and we were conversing in na’vi when Norm returned. Jake had been refering to my guide a lot as Norm wasn't a great teacher, “too formal” Jake mentioned somewhere in the conversation.
“What's wrong with him?” Jake asked in much more fluid na’vi. As Norm flung himself into his bunk, ignoring us.
“Ah, he’s angry,” I say. Jake furrowed his brow, confused.
“At me? Or…?”
“No. At me,” I stated. Grace gave me a look, “I've gotta say, your na’vi is getting way better, Jake.”
“Why is he mad at you?” Grace interjected.
“Uuuuh, because I apparently fell in love with a knucklehead,” I said with a pulled smile. Jake narrowed his eyes in confusion, “Oh trust me, you don't want to know who.”
“It's LYLE WAINFLEET! I can hear you guys!” Norm yelled from his bunk. The two looked at me with jaws slacked as I averted my eyes. Grace’s eye knitted into confusion and disgust. Jake didn't say anything but stared.
“That knucklehead?!” she spat out a laugh, “Never in a million years did I expect (Y/N) to fall in love with a pea brained, steroid using–”
“Heyyyy, you don't have to insult him.”
“Come on (Y/N). You have a double major in medicine and biophotosynthetic eukaryotes studies, you're too good for him.”
I laughed at that, “It's funny, he said that too. But he was ballsy enough to tell me that himself,” silence.
“Maybe that says a little something about him. He was man enough to admit it,” I could feel tears well up in my waterline, but I continued, “You know, after learning that Tommy died. I felt like my heart was ripped into two and I distracted myself by shoving my head into books, paperwork and research, and I felt like I couldn't love anyone else. I felt like no one could love me back. And for a while I kept thinking that.” I paused to take a breath as tears began falling. 
  “And then you asked me to come back to the Avatar programme, because you quote unquote, ‘needed me’. Then you guys left me. Left me all alone in that stupid, cold, grey hellhole called Hell’s Gate. It felt like I was being abandonned all over again.” 
Holding back a choke, I continued,  “Then Wainfleet came along. Just sitting there in front of me. Talking to me, making me laugh, listening to me ramble on about Pandora, na’vi culture, about the plants that could possibly save earth, music, movies, anything. And I stopped feeling so alone. He was the only one who was there when you lot weren't.” I huffed. “Sure, Ruth was there. Max was there. But so was he! And yes, I fell in love with him somewhere along the lines and maybe it was time for me to move on from Tom.” I couldn't hold it in anymore. Everything gushed out like a furious waterfall. I pushed myself up from the chair and rushed for the door, taking the closest mask with me, not caring if it was anyone in particular. 
I walked off into the trees, heading for my unconscious avatar. Tears furiously pooling at the bottom of the mask. Fogging up in the process. I tripped on a tree root as I couldn't see past the condensation, landing on my avatars leg. But I didn't get up as I continued to cry.
*
I must have cried myself to asleep sometime in the night. I woke up to a pool of my tears in my mask. Getting irritated by the liquid, I took a breath before removing my mask and tipping out the moisture, and using my sleeve to clear the mask of water markings. Returning it to my face, I took a breath as I looked around the bright sky. I regret coming here.
I wandered around for a bit before deciding to go back into Site 26, grabbing my garb from the floor checked my tablet for any messages. One from Lyle that simply read ‘call me’. It was quiet in the facility, walking through to make sure that they were in the cradle or out of the building, before calling Lyle.
He greeted me when he answered, the signal kind of bad.
“Hi, sorry I didn't call last night,” I apologised.
“Don– worry abou– it, how– you?” the signal cutting in and out every so often.
“I'm okay, just thinking about you…”
*
After the call I felt a bit better, though Norm came back halfway through my call. We avoided each other. Jake also didn't talk to me and would give me these looks, unreadable. Grace only talked to me when she needed something, so at least that was something. But I spent most of my time in my avatar. I went to Hometree for the first time in two years. Grace was there too, and we only interacted there whenever she needed to ask a question. I sighed as the children dragged me off to the river. I sat on a log watching them play in the water. Still upset about the day before, my eyes welled up again, I looked down to hide my face silently sobbing.
“Tsumuke, I see you,” I looked up to see Tsu’tey, “It's been–,” he paused looking at my face, “tsumuke, why are you crying?” 
I wiped my cheeks with my hands hurriedly.
“Tsu’tey. I see you,” swallowing hard, he leaned down wiping a stray tear from my cheek.
“The last time I saw you cry was when you held Anuk in your arms,” he confessed as I looked up at him with wide eyes, “Why is it you always cry silently?”
I can never hide anything from him even back when he went to Grace’s School, I exhaled when he sat down next to me. Ears lightly twitching.
“I have a mate,” he smiled a little, “But everyone disapproves of him. They hate him, insult him.” Tsu’tey frowned a little.
“You have a mate, you should be happy,” he stated as if it wasn't obvious, I rolled my eyes a little.
“I do, of course. But Grace, Jake and Norm all hate him. They say that I'm too good for him. That he is stupid, muscleheaded, all the bad things. But they don't know him like I do.” I snarled exhasperatedly.
“What is ‘muscleheaded’?”
“Uh, it means like…only using fists to deal with problems,” I explained and he huffed some air out his nose in disaproval, frowning a little.
“Sound like some warriors I know. Is your mate a warrior?”
“Uh, yeah. You could say that.”
He makes a sound of understanding.
“But, he isn't like that. Kind of like you actually,” I poked him the arm. He chuckled before asking.
“Like me, how?” Seriously, you want me to descibe him?
“Uhhhh, he’s strong like you. Strict, like you. But he is also smart, kind, funny, strong hearted, protective–like you. Makes me feel loved.” Tsu’tey looked at me with a rare kind smile, and I reciprocated.
“You think I'm strict?”
“Really? That's what your taking from the conversation,” I punched his arm as he laughed out loud, “Go. leave, if you think that–”
“But you smiled. This is the first time I've seen you smile in a long time. Before the incident. You deserve to be happy.” He stated with upmost confidence.

Omg I have a hazbin hotel f/o too!! This is a free gush pass now, I wanna hear everything about your new loveeee <3
Nice ! I'm happy you also found a special dude !
Thank you for letting me yell. Like, I just adore his look, his lil hat and suit, his snakey grin, and everything; his personality is also awesome like he is a misguided yet loving dad, he's goofy, and canonically eats pussy, he's amazing. My s/i is actually just an angel, she and him meet when after Charlie's visit to speak to the angels, Gill had listened to her and began sneaking to visit them and learn more about the demons and started helping attempt to redeem people too. Lucifer had been super reluctant, he wasn't super into being around an angel just because of his own feelings, but Charlie begged him to help show her places since he's one of two people she knows who knows a lot about the angels. Then he agrees, starts spending time with her. Gradually he warms to her, they start getting close and like lowkey feelings develop. Then when the fight happens with the hotel, the angels had realized Gill was sneaking there and captured her and brought her with them chained. But she escaped, helped the hotel, and when the angels left stayed; essentially she's like "welp fairly certain if I return they're gonna take my halo". Like, she now has good thoughts towards demons, but Lucifer also understands this that she wants to keep hold of that connection to her friends. She helps rebuild their hotel. That's where she stays, does after a bit move and live with Lucifer. She talks to him about things how it feels to be hurt by the people who they knew and feeling unable to return. They bond more. They start actively seeking each other out. They are silly fr, like they're an adorable pair. A first not actually a date outing is they walk around lu lu world, which is the theme park Lucifer created. He gifts her a rubber ducky he made while she's sneaking back and fourth and she thinks it's lovely but is unsure if she could bring it he tells her he can keep it and she can come visit it at his home. Neither knows how to start a relationship, she's inexperienced and he's rusty but it's nice when he finally confesses and they agree to go out. People know that she's fully an angel there, but she wears a hoodie to kinda cover her halo, yes it looks like she's got something floating under her hoodie, when she goes places; she'd worn it when she was hiding being an angel from people outside of the hotel, and she continues using it because lots of demons are wary of angels. When she begins dating Lucifer, some demons are super negative about that. Like at a particular point she's kidnapped because Angel took her to a club, side note she loves Angel and Husk and everyone and while she's trying to redeem them they're lovingly also corrupting her, and she's taken. She partially frees herself and after a bit of yelling about how he got the king's girlfriend kidnapped, Angel gets Lucifer to assist with freeing her also; and kinda high on being drugged she confesses to Lucifer she went a little too much into trying to be like the demons because she worried others were thinking negatively about him for loving an angel, but he reassures her. They're in love. I ADORE them. They're good.
💜💜💜

Linked Universe Soul Eater AU
i coouuullld work on the long linked universe fic i have been slowly chipping away at
but instead ive decided to type of the lu soul eater au ive had cooking in my brain since i first got covid. it is the nature of all humankind (me) to have soul eater au/headcanons for all things i like. lu is no different. please feel free to talk to me about this im obsessed with it
sky: he is a meister. at first, it was him a sun against the world (meaning, in class at dwma). sun is a shield weapon, and while that made fighting-styles need to get creative, they always managed. however, during an adventure, they find a student named fi, a sword-weapon, and she joins them as sky’s sword. so now he’s like a full, cool knight. during that adventure, however, Something Happens, and the kishin Demise they were fighting traps fi in her sword form. it’s horribly tragic, and sky and sun can feel her getting quieter and quieter as time goes on. they don’t know how to stop it, and its scary. they also team up with groose, whose two weapons (his friends in the game) are gun/cannons. i just feel like groose deserves a gun.
four: he is one guy, a meister. (i was tempted to make him his split brothers pretending to be twins and not four of them, and theyre all weapons tho) but really, its four. he went on his first adventure with a much older weapon (the minish cap enzlo) as a mentor, but at the end enzlo basically said ‘its time for me to retire.’ four then moved to death city to figure himself out, and immediately got wrapped up in a witch’s plan, vaati, who wanted to figure out what makes meister and weapon souls tick. he kidnapped four and broke his soul into pieces. at first, four thought it was only four pieces, but eventually realized vaati ripped a piece of him out and infused it with some black blood, and poof! out comes shadow, a weapon. (kinda like crona, but separate body). the soul fuck-up also, temporarily, split four into four people (because. idk. magic. and soul eater bc. let me have this ok.) and while at the end, four fused back into himself, shadow stayed separate, though he can hop into four’s shadow at will. four then goes back to death academy, and tries to hide shadow as best he can. the deku tree finds out, of course, but lets him keep it a secret. they pretend like all that happened was he got turned into a weapon, and so shadow hides because theyre all scared of people hating him for being the pure essence of black blood (when the chain finds out, its obviously all sympathy and love and a little “holy shit thats awesome”)
shadow mostly turns into a scythe, because thats what vaati wanted in a weapon (he took the term “death scythe” too literally), but he can sometimes turn into a glaive/staff that holds pseudo-elemental attacks, and him and four are working on him holding that form more bc hit makes him more comfortable. four also cant split anymore, but the four pieces of himself are still separate. sometimes they work together smoothly, but sometimes its a cacophony of noise and yelling and migraines.
also due to his... i hesitate to call it adventure. but due to everything four is very good at reading souls. he figures out twilight and midna’s whole deal right away, and pieces together warrior’s fairly quickly. he can tell legend and wild have more forms than they send to show off, and can read hryule’s soul better than hryule can for himself (and learns things about hyrule that he doesnt even know about himself.) but four is a good kid and keeps this all to himself (and yet, still doesnt tell the others about himself. bc hes scared of them being freaked out)
time: he and his wife, malon, are a badass duo, honestly. malon is a death scythe, though her real form is a huge, sickass claymore. they live on campus, and spend most of their time tending to the garden and outdoor parts of campus. they occasionally go on missions, but try not to because they went through enough as youth (taking on a full-fledged kishinn(majora and the fierce deity stuff) and absorbing part of its soul into your body to stop it will make you a little tired of fighting, and that was only their second adventure). time, however, cant stop himself from bonding with and wanting to protect all these new students, and it doesnt help the hero worship a lot of them have towards him.
as for times past, he was dropped off on the academy’s doorstep as a baby, and raised by the deku tree himself. when he was old enough to begin classes, he was a little... out of touch with people his own age because of this, and some folks were pretty mean to him. and then he met malon, and had the biggest case of puppy love/crush possible (but he couldnt figure out his own feelings). they teamed up for a while, got far in their schooling, saved the world. the normal stuff a student does there. that first adventure took it out of him though, so he just kinda... disappeared for a while without telling anyone. malon got pissed, of course, but not fully at him, more at... the world for not being better about helping everyone after these horrible adventures. she goes after him, finds him fighting a kishin by himself, no weapon, mostly a soul-battle, and helps him finish the fight. he’s now missing an eye, has half a kishin in him, and she expects him to be even more broody and awkward, but hes just so happy to see her. (he doesnt confess then, though). they go back together, take a little time to rest and heal, graduate, malon becomes a death scythe, and only then does time confess. malon gives him a “i was waiting for you to be ready :)” and theyre very, very happy. or, as happy as you can be in this world.
legend: he is a weapon, and he can transform into tons of different weapons, like wild, but while wild’s are more... traditional weapons, legends can turn into a sword, a shield, and the most random weapons one can conceive of (meaning, the cooler more flashy ones you see in soul eater, and also his massive amounts of tools in lu). this poor kid has gone on so many missions, mostly entirely by himself, as his own mesiter, basically. he fought with ravio for a while, when they met, because they were soul-compatible, but ravio quickly decided being a meister wasn’t for him. they still room together in death city (also may rename this deku city if i rename the school to deku weapon and meister academy. even if it is funny to have the happy big tree’s city named death city). legend was on his own for a while in school, until he met hyrule
hyrule: he is a meister. he never found a weapon he was compatible with, and instead carried around just a regular sword while scraping through his classes (other students were like, is this allowed??? but death (the deku tree, bc i think its funny to make the deku tree death in this au) was like ‘lmao he’s managing to complete all the missions we send him on, so why not.’) hyrule and legend are eventually on a mission together, and in a jam, hyrule is like ‘please let me try to fight with you’ and legend is like ‘fucking fine. you burn your hands bc i’m not compatible with anyone, thats not my problem.’ and then it works and they kick fucking ass together, tho hyrule struggles to use legend in any form other than sword, and legend hates being in sword-form (bc past trauma he refuses to talk about until it messes with their compatibility. they have a little character arc and hyrule trains using legend in other forms and legend is more comfortable in sword form. and yes the trauma is marin-related. when he partnered with ravio, he never went into sword form)
hyrule is also good at soul resonance and attacks and stuff (like maka and stein). he just has no real training on it bc where he grew up, all the weapons stuff and soul stuff was seen as taboo, so even as he’s actively learning about it all in his classes and knows his kind of abilities are seen as cool and useful, he doesnt want to tell people. (legend eventually finds out and helps him find someone to teach him about it. that someone is time. hyrule quickly becomes super good at it all)
twilight: while not a witch, he is the child of a witch and a human. he was abandoned in a village as a baby, and they raised him communally as their own (though, of course, rusl takes him in the most) he doesnt have any magical powers, but when a witch (zant) came to his village and cursed everyone, he managed to survive by just being cursed into his wolf-form. he had never trained to use a weapon, but quickly meets midna (zant’s half-sister. shes technically a witch, but shes also a weapon. shes a very very weak witch in terms of magic.) on his journey. what follows his basically what youd expect, but he never loses midna companionship in this au. the two of them go to death city and enroll in classes and begin training. only time and the deku tree/death know about his wolf form, which he keeps hidden due to the prejudice again witches in the school. when he first meets wild, who has no memories and is so confused with the world, he just got back from a mission. he immediately latches onto him and helps him figure things out.
also midna turns into these cool as gauntlet/gloves things. with them, twi can hookshot (launch one and the fist goes out and retracts), punch so so good, and charge up for Shadow Blast things for ranged attacks.
warriors: He is actually a weapon, though he hides this from literally everyone. before he came to death academy (which im considering renaming Deku Academy, bc the deku tree is death in this au), he was guilted into being the weapon for a girl named cia. her sister always suspected something was off, but lana never spoke up bc her sister was always there when she tried. eventually, he learned that cia was helping a kishin and was going to try to feed him human souls so they could be powerful (and together) forever, and he got the FUCK outta there. he told himself he would never turn into a weapon again, and he met athena (his zelda. i like that name better for her bc shes literally the goddess of wisdom and warfare), a rapier weapon who could also turn into a bow. (yes i like when the weapons turn into things. its cool also also lets me keep more sword imagery while still giving the boys different weapon options) he teams up with her and they fight, and no one suspects wars is also a weapon bc of how good he is at disguising his soul (he’s only good with his own tho, he can’t read others for shit).
wind: a meister. he grew up in a coastal town, training with some older weapon and meister duos but never really focusing too much on it, until a bird-witch kidnaps his sister. he teams up with his childhood friend, tetra, to get her back. tetra doesnt know shes a weapon at this point (i dont remember if thats how that works in soul eater but shh my au my rules) until she discovers that during the mission. she can turn into a hammer, which functions (obviously) like a hammer, but also as a hookshot (the top flings off, turns sharp, and then retracts), or the sides of the head of the hammer open and suck/blow wind very powerfully (like the gust jar). they get his sister back and wind and terta are like “that was fucking awesome wanna do that forever?” and then they go to death city to go to school.
wild: he is a weapon, like tsubaki, and can turn into basically any weapon he chooses. his zelda, flora, is his meister. they first met when wild first showed that ability to his parents, and wilds family brought him to flora’s father so she could be his meister. this is the past, because i want it to be. so flora’s dad is rich and pays his family for him to be flora’s weapon. wilds family isnt malicious about it, theyre just struggling to get by. they technically give wild a choice in it and ask him if he’s okay, but wild is young and knows this is how he can help his family, so he doesnt really see “no” as an option. he figures he can rise up in station here (tho this is only 100 years before everything else, so the world isnt too “social classes are you stay where you were born unless you become a knight and we still have noblemen and stuff,” but it’s still there. its actually fading, which is why flora’s dad is so intent on her being a good and powerful meister, and why he’s picking a weapon from a lower social class at all (its also bc wilds ability is rare)).
so wild is raised side by side with flora, who hates him like in canon (meaning she doesn’t hate him, just hates how easy it is for him to access his different forms and he he goes along with his lot in life. she just wants to go to school and be her own person, but her dad wants her to be a world-famous meister). hes still not treated super well (he’s not floras equal in the eyes of her father), but he can go visit his family on their days off from training and stuff. eventually, they go on a mission to stop a well-known kishin. flora is extremely good at soul stuff, and basically locks him in place when he mortally wounds wild. wild is taken away by their battle companion impa and her meister, to Death Academy (where they had gone to study occasionally, but still mostly stayed with flora’s father and his private tutors), where he is put into stasis and sleeps for a hundred years. flora and the kishin, known as Calamity, are locked away as the soul-battle rages in in their minds. one hundred years later, wild wakes up with no memories but a voice calling out to his soul. he trains, on his own, because no meister can hold onto him, and goes out on his own to get flora back. he fights by himself with only parts of his body transformed, gets flora, and takes her back to the school, where the two of them rest. now they get to acclimatize to life 100 years in the future. flora struggles because she should be sad- her dad is long gone, wild doesnt fully remember her, everything is different, but at least she can study like she always wanted to.
she still wields wild like a badass, though wild tends to take missions on his own without telling her so they pass the fighting-oriented classed while flora focuses on her studies. she notices only half the time (not for a want of trying tho, wild is just really sneaky)
as of now, i dont have any real... plot with these. just everyones backstories and stuff. but i love the idea of the deku tree making time and malon take all these students on a field trip, which quickly spirals into a whole adventure.

Tumblr media
Confused on why you aren’t back yet? You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago, and still haven’t come back from the store Madam Screams for y’all’s date.
He feels an uneasy feeling, grabbing his coat in the process as he goes to Madam Screams.
He decided to call you but no answer..
You were just getting some tea packets and delicious treats for you and Lucifer’s little date night. He had to finish up his work so you offered to get some treats for you two. You both don’t have lots of time to spend together and tonight was finally a free one.
You happily skip along the shelves of the delicious pastries at Madame Screams, your eyes landing on a specific one, eclairs.
He told you the other day how he liked them so you wanted to be sweet, so you reached out for them.
But stopped to think about which flavor he would want.. OH!
How about every flavor? That would be fun!
You got a To-Go box to put them in, yourself going around the different flavors, analyzing each one you both would like.
You yourself started to feel hungry picking the different eclairs out.
You hurriedly ran to the checkout, paying with *Mammons Credit Card* you didn’t know of course but Lucifer did.
“Thank you” You then sped walked a bit to the exit, but felt super hungry.
“I’ll eat just one..” You smiled about to take one out to taste it.
Until..
“Those are great pastries hm?” Somebody appeared behind you, putting their hand on your shoulder.
You jumped, stepping away from the sudden touch..
It was a random demon guy, just a roundabout.
“U- Uh.. yes! My boyfriend loves these so-.”
“Is that so..?” He interrupted coming closer, a dark smirk forming on his figure.
You stepped back, starting to shake in fear..
“W- What are you doing-!.”
“Might as well get revenge on Lucifer’s little pet.. I must say, he has good taste..”
And with that he dragged you out of the store, your D.D.D being dropped in the process.
You tried screaming and getting out of his grip, but he was too strong..
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you..~.”
He shoved you hard against the alley wall, bruising your back.
Then suddenly grabbed your collar, pinning you against the wall.
You clench your teeth from the pain, tears starting to form..
“LUCIF-.”
He slapped you before you could yell your boyfriend's name..
“You will fucking obey me you little brat!”
He pushed his body closer to yours, your tears and screaming increasing. Until you bit his hand, making him scream loud (Damn that's some sharp teeth you have), as his grip lost your body.
You dropped to the ground, and ran with all your might, until you felt his hands on you again.
“Did you forget you're a slow ass weak human..? And I’m a demon?” He grabbed you by the throat, slamming you against the wall again.
Both of his hands choking you as you struggled and tried screaming-
Until he suddenly flung across the alleyway, and you were in a familiar grasp.
You looked up to see Lucifer in his demon form.
You smiled, seeing your knight in shining armor come to your rescue. He looked down to see the bruises on your neck..
“You.. dare.. lay a hand on her..?” Lucifer was calm when he said it, oh but beware he is beyond wrath right now..
The lesser demon was freaking out, on his knees begging for mercy.
“P- Please I never meant-.”
Lucifer quickly covered your eyes with his wings as you heard a ton of cracking and screaming..
You were both back at the House of Lamentation, in Lucifer’s office as *planned*, cuddled together on the chair in front of the fireplace.
“What happened to that demon?” You asked curiously.
“Oh, I took care of him, he needed some.. discipline..”
You looked at him confused but shook it off.
“I'm sure he got what he deserved'' You added, sipping some tea.. while Lucifer on the other hand was grinning sadistically secretly, while pulling you closer to him.
“Oh no the exclairs! Did they get dropped?!”
Lucifer raised a brow to your sudden outburst.
Oh but the way this man smiled hearing that- this man is so soft for you..
“You heard about Mammon eating my exclairs the other day, hm?” He wondered what you would say, but his pride knowing the answer, there was a hint of tease in the question.
“Y- yes..”
You got shy, as he just chuckled at your response, how did he deserve such a sweet girl as you? And to protect?
Tumblr media
You were both at a restaurant that just opened recently, Mammon was dying to try it so you both went on a date today.
Sitting down in a booth, talking about hobbies and such, the waiter comes to bring the menu.
“Hello, what would you like to eat at this fine Dev-Diner today?”
You both said your orders, the waiter gave you a *Interesting* side glance, then walked off.
“And then me and Levi got some blackmail on Lucifer, and got tons of grim, just between us by the way”
Mammon whispered the last part which made you giggle, sipping on some of your drink.
“So that’s why I wanted to take us to this new diner, since I had some grim.. on me..”
He blushed a bit.. some of his tsundere starting to appear as you just smiled.
“Awww is the Great Mammon being sweet?”
You teased.
“Oi! I’m always nice and sweet and whatever.. what do you mean?!”
“I’m just joking” You laughed, then suddenly felt the urge to go to the restroom.
“Oh I need to go to the restroom, I’ll be right back”
“Ok, don’t get kidnapped” He joked, you just rolled your eyes with a laugh.
As you walked, turning to the corner, about to enter the Women’s restroom until..
“Hey! Your uh Mammon’s girlfriend right?” You heard someone say behind you, seeing your *Waiter* there with a kind face.
But you got a weird feeling about him..
“Oh yea I am.. but how do you know that..?”
He stuttered, realizing he messed up. He started to hyperventilate, turning into somebody crazy..
“Ha.. HahahhahaHAHAHHA..!!!”
He just turned into a completely different person than you had anticipated..
“Oh MC.. do you not know how much I love you~?”
You looked at him in shock, confusion. “What..-?”
He suddenly grabs you and shoves you in the boys restroom.
“MAMMO-.”
He covered your mouth with his hand, dragging you all the way to the end stall, but you kicked him hard, doubling him over.
You then ran toward the door to exit until he grabbed your ankle, making you slam against the floor.
You coughed out blood, you suddenly turned around and slapped him in the face with your nails, as he was about to come on top of you.
“YOU'RE NOT ESCAPING ME DARLING!!” He grunted, using magic to keep you in place, you couldn’t move.. Until he was close enough, grabbing ahold of your arms and legs dropping you to the floor.
Covering your mouth again before you can scream for help, he went on top of you, with a creepy grin as if nothing is wrong..
“MC.. you don’t need him, you have me-.”
“GET OFF HER, DAMMIT!” You heard Mammon’s voice, leaning up to see him in his demon form brawling with the crazy weirdo.
Mammon blocked all his punches, then punching him so hard in the stomach he coughed out blood.
Mammon shoved him against the wall, holding him by the collar, his eyes glowing yellow and teeth clenching. The demon scared to death..
“If I ever see your dumbass again with my girl again.. it won’t be so pretty..”
The demon apologized right away then scattered out of the bathroom.
Mammon was by your side the rest of the next few weeks (Which is normal since he always wants to be with you lol), he was hugging you from behind, while you were fixing your hair.
“Mammon I could’ve took out that demon for sure, no need to be protective anymore”
“The Great Mammon will always be protective, and I just want cuddles..” He hugged you a bit tighter, digging his face in your neck.
You sighed in defeat with a smile forming on your face, leaning into his touch.
Tumblr media
You two were both walking to see a new anime movie that was exclusive to theaters only.
You were both so hyped for it! Rambling all about on the way there, even in some cosplay for it!
“The trailer showed a clip of the final battle! It looks super amazing and emotional!”
“I know right! I really hope-.”
You were interrupted by this lesser demon who bumped into you, who just tched, and walked off in the other direction of the theater.
“He could’ve said sorry, eh whatever” You muttered, Levi looking behind him a couple times with a glare.
“This is why I hate going out, people are rude for no reason” Levi commented, you nodding in the process.
You both were huge shut-in’s, so no wonder you both are a thing.
You both finally reached the ticket booth, Levi using his grim from the *Lucifer Blackmailing with Mammon*.
“Thankyou” You quickly answered, grabbing the tickets, as you and Levi rushed in the doors of the movie theater.
You both walked to the food section getting yalls favorite drink and snacks. You both were way too excited, you both seeing the movie was getting closer and closer.
Sitting down in your seats, it was much more crowded than you both anticipated. You both hated crowds, but Levi had more anxiety with it.
“Levi, I’m sure you will forget all about the demons once the movie starts, you will be fixated on that” You comforted him, nodding as he grabbed ahold of your hand.
You both blushed, but got over it once the movie started.
Y'all laughed and had surprised faces throughout the movie, not realizing someone familiar was sitting next to you..
About a little more than halfway through the movie, you wanted to refill your drink. You tried to stop thinking about it but simply couldn’t.
“Psst, Levi, I’m going to get some more of this drink” You whispered in his ear, as he turned to you.
“No I’ll get it, plus we're not to the good part yet anyway” Levi whispered back, gently letting go of your hand, getting up.
“Do you want more popcorn?”
“Yes!” You replied with the cutest smile-
Levi used his arm to cover his red face, then turned to walk down the stairs, disappearing around the corner.
You then focused your attention back onto the movie, seeing the protagonist draw his sword to some random enemy of the antagonist.
‘Oooooo I hope we find out more about the bad guy!’ You thought, until they were closed by a sudden weird aura you felt, a huge stare.
You started getting uncomfortable and irritated since this person next to you was distracting you from the movie.
You turned to him and saw the guy who bumped into earlier, he was giving you such an irritated look. Oh but you had enough!
“Excuse me, but would you please sto-.”
“Will you shut the fuck up?” He grunted quietly, while you yourself looked at him in in shock and confusion.
“Are you serious?! All because ‘you’ bumped into me and blamed me for it. You ruined my movie date damn bastard!!?” You shouted in irritation, some people looking over.
He tilted his head to the side with a deeper scowl on his face, his expression dark.
You just rolled your eyes at him about to get up and leave until he suddenly used magic on you, making you frozen, but you were still conscious.
He picked you up when the screen light wasn’t so bright, bringing you to the top of the theater where there were barely any other demons around.
“You're going to pay for bumping into me earlier little girl.. by pleasuring me~.” A dark smirk formed on his features, putting his hand on your thigh and giving it a little squeeze.
You started to freak out, you couldn’t move, scream, or cry.
“I’ll undo this spell, if only you don’t scream-.. A- argg ahh..” You looked to see a familiar black tail around the damn guy's neck to see your boyfriend's eyes glow orange.
He came down to the man's ear, and whispered something to him, making him zoom up and rush out of the movie theater immediately.
Then taking your hand immediately afterward, and drags you out of the theater, undoing that bastard's spell in the process.
“L- levi, are you ok..?”
You looked at him in concern, he was super possessive of you ever since that incident from last night.
“A- Are you jealous..?” 
“What does it look like?! That damn bastard ruined everything.. Almost taking you from me..”
Your eyes widened from his sudden words, this wasn’t Levi, it was the Avatar of Envy.
“Levi.. I would never love another man other than you, you are my boyfriend and bestfriend I would never replace” You softly replied, putting your hand on his cheek in the process.
A couple tears went down his cheeks as he just nodded, then softly hugged you, as you felt a smile form on your neck.
Tumblr media
It was storming outside, you could practically hear the rain against the glass and wooden walls, the thunder rumbling the floors ever so often, with the lighting shadows clawing the rooms.
You and Satan were currently at the library, and it just started raining out of nowhere.
But the two of you didn’t mind since you both love to read books, and it was nice hearing the rain in the background since it was so soothing to y’all’s ears.
Plus, nobody was here since it was close to closing time, and because of the storm of course.
“I’m relieved to not hear my brothers nor anybody else shout or even talk here” Satan started to speak, you yourself looking up from your book.
“It's just.. so hard to get you alone, and finally, it’s peace and quiet with just you love”
Your cheeks reddened a bit from his words, feeling his arm suddenly snake around your waist, moving you to his lap, as you gasped in his sudden movements.
He put his chin on your shoulder, his arms around your beautiful body.. (Don’t say you aren’t, everyone’s bodies are beautiful, don’t let other people nor have yourself think badly of you or yourself. I’ve never met you and I think you're beautiful. I believe everyone is unique in their own ways. Sorry for the interruption, I just wanted to put that out there, anyway continue lovely readers :D)
“S- Satan..?-.”
“You are so warm.. can we stay like this..?” He must’ve really missed you.. his brothers practically taking all your attention, no wonder your boyfriend’s so clingy.
You smiled, laying on his chest.
You both continued to read, until you were both interrupted by a rumble from your stomach.
“MC, since we’re going to be here so late- how about I get us some coffee and snacks from the cafe?”
You were delighted by his offer, nodding with an innocent smile, carefully moving you off his lap.
“I’ll be right back, also when it gets to the good part, don’t read it until I come back”
“Oh I won’t” You replied with a giggle, as he smiled, then walked to the cafe on the other side of the library.
It was silent, you could only hear the rain and thunder roaming throughout the library.
“Good thing I’m not scared of thunder and find it soothing” You muttered out loud.
It was a good silence of 3 minutes, and you started getting an uneasy feeling. Like you were being watched.
Until huge hands came out from behind, covering your mouth, locking his arms around your torso. You suddenly felt a warm breath against your ear.
“You seem such a treat, and letting nobody have this precious body of yours..” The man whispered, a chuckle in the process sending shivers through your body.
You screamed as hard as you could, but it was muffled by the big lesser demon's hands.
“I’m going to show you what a real demon can do with a cutie like you”
He picked you up roughly, dragging you to a corner in the library. It was dark.. Only the thunder produced light as it flickered.
You kicked and tried getting out of his grasp, but he was too strong..
He roughly pinned you against a wall, tears streaming down your cheeks.
“SATA-.”
“Shut up..” His voice was so horrifying.. his nails digging into your arm.
“If you don’t obey your master, I might have to-.”
“Kill you?” You suddenly heard your boyfriend's voice, seeing the avatar of wrath's eyes glow in hatred behind the victim.
“Damn you-.”
Before the man could lay a punch on Satan, Satan had cut his face in his demon form.
And the man punched Satan in the stomach at the same time.
“FUCK!”
They were both fighting in their demon forms, the thunder light reflecting off their faces and bloody hands.
Finally Satan grabbed hold of the man and launched him to the window as he crashed into it, hearing a huge thud in the process.
The lightning and storm stopped, as the big moon came out.
Satan was holding you a bit firmly in his lap, but not too hard.
He was going to be so protective of you from now on.
You yourself though, shocked by the scene that happened last night.
“S- Satan, your stomach..-.”
“It's alright.. I’m just glad you're okay..” He interrupted, giving you a sweet smile.
You smiled back at him, reading a sweet love story together for the rest of the calming night.

Not sure how familiar you are with Four Swords but would you be interested in writing separate Red, Blue, Green and Vio X reader? Obviously can be in an LU setting but doesn’t have to be! My girlfriend is a massive Four simp I know she’d swoon at this.
As always love your work! ❤️❤️
- Gaylactic-Fire
Masterlist
You've got it!
Color centric scenarios are a go!
Content under the cut!
Green
Your laughter bounced off of the forest canopy as you ran though the foliage.
Green held onto your hand tightly as he led the way, dodging in and out of bushes and the underbrush so frequently that you were sure you were thoroughly lost.
“Green!” You shout after a short twig scratches your ankle. “Where are we even going?”
“Somewhere special!” He replies with a wink over his shoulder.
That’s the only answer you get before he has you climbing over a particularly impressive rock, passing you the basket that he’s brought along and climbing right after you.
You shake your head and try your hardest not to look into the goods that he’s brought. He made you promise before you started out here to not peak and you don’t want to break it simply because you’re curios.
Granted, it a basket and he’s taking you somewhere special away from the people and his especially his brother- you think you can guess what’s inside and what you’re doing.
Green reaches up to where you are and takes the basket but a cheeky finger wave. “You promised~!”
“I know.” You snort. “I wasn’t looking.”
“Mm-hm...” He takes your hand again and begins to pull you along gentler along the rock and moves aside a curtain of vines before ushering you forward.
It’s a hidden tunnel and with wide and delighted eyes you venture forward, your boyfriend at your back before you come to a crystal cave, a blanket set on the dry rock below with multiple candles not only holding the blankets down but decorating the atmosphere with their flickering light, sending a filter of rainbow light across the cave.
A gasp leaves your mouth and you dash in front of the little display. “When did you do this? How did you find this place? I knew you taking me a for picnic but I didn’t think-”
“Happy anniversary.” Green holds out a single red rose in front of him a happy and bashful smile on his face.
Your heart drops to your feet when you accept the flower. “Green... oh, I’m sorry... I completely forgot. I didn’t get you anything.”
“I thought so.” Green admits. “You’ve been so nervous about acing your exams that you weren’t thinking much about anything else. But it gave me all the opportunity I needed to plan this, find this place and set everything up!”
“This is incredible Green, thank you.” You lean forward and kiss his cheek. “I’m sorry I’ve been so stuck in my head recently.”
“Don’t be.” Green takes your hands and kisses your knuckles. “If you pass the test you get to work in the castle as a royal court herbalist. It’s a big deal. They only accept the best of the best.”
 “I’m so nervous.” You say confidently.
“That’s ok.” Green chuckles. “But take a break for a little, yeah? I brought your favorites.”
Blue
You had left him the forge to work on the latest commission but you were beginning to suspect that he hadn’t once paused or taken a break.
And that just won’t stand.
So you walk right on in and wave to Green who’s working the front of the shop.
Green brightens at seeing your face and throws a thumb back toward the entrance to the forge. “Blue’s back there.”
“Has he left at all?’ You ask with a small smile on your lips.
Green shakes his head.
You sigh and shake your head.” That’s what I thought.”
“Gonna get him out?”
“I’m gonna try.” You admit with a shrug and walk toward the door.
“If anyone can, it’s you.” Green calls as you leave and you take a breath to brace yourself for the smell and the heat of the place.
You walk on it and look around, trying to get past the always dim light and spot him in the back by the anvil, the glowing amber light of the metal lighting up his face.
You step as close as you while still being safe of the sparks. 
“Blue!” You call out. 
He stops and looks up from the project before dunking it in the bucket of water nearby.
He leaves it there and begins to make his way over to you with a smile on his face. “Hey. I’m still working.”
“I can see that.” You say with a smile. “I was wondering if you would like to go get something to eat with me.”
Blue stalls for a moment, the idea waging a war in his mind. “...I’m still working.”
“It’s just a break, Blue. It’ll still be there when you get back.” You try to persuade him. “Please.”
You put on your cutest puppy eyes and lean closer, even going as far as to put hand in front of you as you plead your case. 
Blue bites his lip and worries the leather of his gloves but he doesn’t say anything.
You wait for a moment and drop your hands. “Is that a no?”
It’s hard to hide the disappointment in your voice and facial expression and you know that Blue sees it.
But you smile a little and nod. “That’s fine. We still have that date planned this weekend, right? I’ll.... I’ll see you then.”
“No.” Blue takes of his gloves. “I’m coming. Let’s go get lunch.”
“I- Really?” You blinked and don’t bother hiding your grin. “And you’re commission?”
“It’ll be there when I get back.” Blue takes the apron off and puts it on a nearby hook, taking your hand as he begins to leave the forge.
You’re sure that there’s a lot of safety hazards that he’s currently throwing out the window but Green is good at this too so hopefully he’ll cover for Blue.
You both exit and Blue is barely holding himself together. He’s just short of sprinting away from the shop entirely, waving to his brother on the way out while you giggle and give Green a wink.
It’s lunch time!
Red
“RED!” You cried out into the open. “RED!”
No one answers.
“Oh man, why me?” You whine and begin jogging down the road. “Of all days! ...RED! RED!”
Still nothing.
You at least take a moment to thank your lucky stars that there’s no one else on the road beside you or else they’d think you’re crazy for simply yelling out a color and expecting something to happen.
“I’m here!” You hear him call out at last.
Relief covers your entire body in a single wave and you pick up your pace. “Red, where have you been? Vio is going to have an aneurism about being on time with the dinner with your dad and grandpa and ....oh dear...”
You look up and see a very familiar red tunic... hanging upside down- hat on the ground and boots in the air, a single foot stretched out and held by a rope trap connected to a very tall tree.
You blink and sit yourself on the forest floor under you. “How is it that only you get into these kind of things?”
Red sighed and shook his head. “I don’t know. I didn’t know this was even here.”
“Clearly.” You run your hand through your hair and take a deep breath. You look around him and take in the tree. It looks like it can be climbed easily enough and if you can get up, you can undo the rope at the top, get your boyfriend out and then still have enough time to go doll yourself up for the first family dinner you’ve been invited to.
No pressure.
“You’re so lucky I love you.” You get up and pat Red out of the way to get a good grip on the tree bark in front of you.
“What are you doing?” 
“Getting you out Sweetheart, what does it look like I’m doing?” You reply and begin the climb.
“Please be careful.” Red gulps a bit and tried to ignore the amount of blood that’s been rushing to his head.
Finding the rope that holding your lover hostage is a bit more challenging than getting into the tree to begin with but you find it well enough.
You don’t have anything sharp to simply cut him free but you do have two hands- determination, spite and a whole lot of gumption at your disposal to try to undo the knot in the tree.
It’s takes an age.
But when you see that you’re making progress you get excited and tell Red to get ready to fall.
He doesn’t respond but you can somewhat see him nod and try to figure out how on earth he was going to land without hurting himself.
You feel like you should be helping him in that regard but you’re not on the ground anymore and someone still has to get the knot out.
It slips and Red falls right into a practiced roll like the professional that he is and you cheer on his behalf. “YAY! Red, you’re free!”
He laughs and goes to stand, wobbling immediately at the rush of blood but manages to stand on his feet.
You drop down from the tree after him and rush to give him a hug. “Hey there handsome!”
“Hello beautiful!” Red hugs you back. 
“Come on now! Or we’re going to be late!” You jump and begin to pull back through the forest. 
You do not want to give his family a bad impression of you after all.
Vio
“My love, you have to get up now.” Soft lips brush against your cheek with a sweet peck before a hand shakes your shoulder somewhat.
You blink your eyes open with a smile and roll over to the other side, completely ignoring the man in front of you.
“I saw that.” Vio chuckles and continues to shake your shoulder. “You said you’d help out in the shop today. you have to get up if you want to be there on time.”
“Nu-uh.” You hum and try to burrow deeper into the warm blankets.
Vio shakes you a little harder.
“Five more minutes.”
“No.” Vio says your name with the same exasperation as he would when dealing with Red. He hates that you two have this in common.
You’re content to stay in bed and fall back asleep until the blankets are unceremoniously ripped away from you.
The cold air had you curling in on yourself in an instant and you whined as loud as you could without opening your mouth to show your annoyance toward your boyfriend.
“Time to be awake now.”
“I don’t wanna~” You groan and roll around again, looking for a familiar mop of blond hair. “Why must you do this to me? I thought you loved me.”
That actually manages to get Vio to laugh before he crawls into bed next to you and lays down close enough where his nose just barely brushes yours. “I do love you. It’s why I’m making sure my lover can keep their promises and not become a hypocrite. It won’t look good on me if the love of my life begins slacking.”
You hum and close your eyes, reaching out for his hand and taking it into your own. You pull it up and give him a small kiss on his knuckles and sigh. “I suppose it really wouldn’t do you any good if your lover was a scoundrel.”
Vio snorts. “That and Red was excited about you joining in him in the front today so he’s been talking non stop about it.”
You groan louder and roll away from him, going so far as to roll off of the bed and hit the floor with your full weight.
Vio winces by the sounds and pushes himself upright. “You ok?”
“I really hate it when Red get disappointed.” You groan as loud as you can before getting up and stretching your arms over your head. “He always looks like he’s about to cry and then I want to cry with him and it’s a whole mess. I swear sometimes he does it on purpose.”
“Sounds about right.” Vio smiles and begins to put the bed together. “Go get ready. I’ll clean up.”
You yawn and nod. “Good morning by the way.”
“Good morning.” Vio says through his giggles. “Blue is making breakfast.”
“He’s gonna burn the toast again.”
“When does he not?”
“I can hear you!” Blue shouts from the stairs just beyond your bedroom door.
You snort and pop your head out. “Sorry Blue!”
Vio smirks and adjusts the corner until they’re flat and decent again. He’d be lying if he said that these weren’t some of his favorite mornings.
Bonus Shadow!
“I know you’re there~” You grin, not looking behind you as you attempt to finish the dishes for the night.
The flickering candle light made the shadows appear longer than they would usually and they sifted with the wave of the fire as the candle burned into the night.
No one answered your little tease but you knew you were right.
There a thickness in the air when you took a breath. It was your only clue that you weren’t alone. Others might have been frightened or confused by your relaxed nature when something was going on but you knew you just had to wait a minute and the problem would solve itself.
You were being watched but you wanted to coax him out.
“I’m almost done here.” You smile and let the water rinse off the plate you were holding before putting in the rack. “Then we can head upstairs a little while. Not much we can do in the dark.”
“I beg to differ.” The voice replies. “There’s plenty to do in the dark.”
You smirk. “Then beg.”
“Well that’s not very nice.” Arms come to wrap around your waist as a chin hooks onto your shoulder.
You giggle as a strand of hair tickles your cheek and you try to blow it aside with a small gust of air but it doesn’t work.
You sigh and let it happen, taking care to not get the person next to you wet. You take the next plate and rinse it under the water, trying to get the soap off of it and put it away to be dried later.
“Are you done?” The voice whines.
“If I say yes, will that you make you happy Shadow?” You smirk and turn your head to look at him. 
Truthfully, he looks exhausted as it is. He has dark circles under his eyes and paler complexion than usual. He takes a minute to respond as he looks at the dishes in the sink and back to you. He takes a breath and nods.
You snort and dry your hands, turning around to hug him back properly and rest your head in the crook of his neck as well.
“Do you want to go to bed?” You ask him. “You look tired.”
“I am tired.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
You both stand there in the middle of your kitchen and sway a little, taking in each other warmth and comfort.
Shadow takes another breath and straightens up from curling around you. “Yes, please.”

The Dark Past | E.P
part 4 of the series
You can check out other parts here and even something more on Edmund!
This is not a stand-alone part , so I'd recommend you to read the other parts first .
Warnings : Arranged marriage , changing POV's , time skip , English is not my first language . anything else?
Pairing : Edmund Pevensie x fem!reader , Lucy Pevensie x fem!reader (platonic)
Summary : After an alliance marriage with King Edmund , y/n begins the new chapter of her life only to be welcomed by her worst fears - thunder and lightning . But the thing to be noted was the fearless princess- y/n had a fear as such ..
Age : Edmund is 18 , reader is 17. (Golden age)
Tumblr media
Third person POV
Not delaying much , y/n and Edmund leave behind the walls of cair paravel to spend time together , after a breakfast which had some awkward glances shared between Edmund and y/n and some funny glances between the other siblings .
Nothing to lie , Ed and y/n both knew that the other one knows that there's no scandal going on and that y/n was simply gone to Lucy's room yesterday night . But the uncomfortable silence was something that was disturbing the couple who walked towards the stable to get themselves a horse for long travels , as they both clicked together while answering the question on how to travel ?
"Ah ! Kind Edmund and Queen Y/N ! What a pleasure to have your highness here !" A white horse , Dorcas as they called her , greeted the couple .
King Edmund greeted her back and asked her "Dorcas , would you mind giving our new Queen a lift ?" .
"Not at all my king !" Dorcas came forward rather proudly , but just as y/n was about to climb , a sweet voice spoke up .
"Whatt?! Y/n , you and Edmund should go on the same horse !" Lucy stuck the idea out , wait .. they both didn't notice her presence until now !
Both y/n and Edmund wiped their heads towards her , who was smiling teasingly .
Edmund , if would've been honest in here , really wanted y/n to sit in front of him while he rode the horse , he didn't know why , he just wanted her to , but he waited for y/n to make a move . Where as y/n wanted the same , but wasn't too comfortable asking for Edmund to do it . Not knowing why , Edmund thought she wasn't comfortable with the idea and popped up with an excuse quite easily
"Lu , we are gonna race on the horses , we had a talk about it already , right y/n ?" Edmund asked her for cover up.
"Yeah Lucy" y/n timidly replied .
Lucy wasn't that convinced but agreed and took farewell . Edmund let out a breath he didn't knew he held .
Y/n concentrated back on mounting the horse and did it as easily as one ever could . Edmund smiled rather proudly at that , the feeling that 'this girl' is my wife warmed his heart ... And slowly his cheeks , as he realised y/n was staring at her , while he was being dumbfounded .
He cleared his throat and mounted Philips , his horse.. and both the horses slowly walked swaying their tails .
Y/n's POV
Holy . Aslan.
Was Edmund staring at me with pride ?
Wait.
..
He was staring at me . He was staring at me !!!! Oh my my-
Wow I can't believe I'm reacting so much on a simple thing as this. He might be staring proudly at Dorcas , you know narnian horses .. like they are something to be proud of . The way the horses look is nothing less than beautiful .. oh by the way , did I mention to myself on how handsome Edmund was looking today ? His messy hairs , twinkling eyes and his dark green clothes .. oh and the crown on his head just made him more enchanting , just a king right out of someone's dreams . Okay I've been trying to stop these embarrassing thoughts but...it's been tough to not get attracted to this king ... Anyways , as my horse , Dorcas began moving , I tried my best to look at everything except Edmund .
Also hoping it doesn't rain today .
Edmund's POV
She caught me staring at her .. eww that's so embarrassing . I hope she doesn't think of me as creepy or something . I've been trying to not react to these strange butterflies in my stomach , but .. it's tough . Ofcourse I know what those butterflies are for , I maybe took an liking to my wife ... No I have to get over with constantly calling her my wife.. what's wrong with me ? I know I'm actually starting to like her in a romantic way , but I can't just start claiming her , right ? As Philip began moving , I looked ahead , making sure to make this time that I got to spend with her , a memorable one.
Time skip..
Still Edmund's POV
"They're beautiful" Y/n spoke softly , as if trying not to disturb the peaceful environment .
I watched her fingers delicately touch the petal of the beautiful flower as the horses slowed down a bit for us to take a look . We were in the forest of Narnia , roaming around and smiling .. well atleast I was smiling like a foolish everytime she looked in my direction out of surprise for the beauty of the forest . The sun shone gracefully , making it warm , but not hot , which I was grateful for ofcourse .
"Yeah , Narnia has tons of beautiful views ." I wanted to add the line 'even queens' but .. it felt too soon to flirt .. and I don't even think that's a good line .
She smiled warmly at me as her Dorcas moved to the end of the forest. Finally , we could sit somewhere and I could concentrate on something else than my wife- y/n's beauty . As soon as the view in front of me cleared , I noticed we were near a cliff as soon as we exited the forest . The air was in full force , but gentle at the same time . It felt nice to see a whole bunch of Narnia from somewhere top . I slowly slid down of my horse and saw y/n doing the same . Could I be more thankful to aslan ? No , because I know I'm not that gentlemanly when it comes to it . I wouldn't have offered y/n any help and that would've been such a bad impression , good that she's independent . I looked at her to indicate that I was going to the cliff . Noticing my looks , she followed me .
With our legs dangling in free air and our hands mere inches apart , we admired the view in front of us .
I didn't want to think of work , I felt so relaxed at the moment . With that , I closed my eyes to feel everything around me .
Y/n's POV
Throughout the ride in the forest , I felt Edmund's eyes on me . Maybe ? Or was he looking at the other things in my direction? Ugh .. I could've atleast looked back into his eyes at that time to know .. but I didn't . I don't even know why I begin to blush as soon as my eyes meet his today .
At the moment , I could feel his body heat as our hands laid mere inches apart , on the floor , supporting our lean and relaxed posture . I looked at him , his side face looked at pretty as he was . His eyes were closed as he took in the warmth and positivity .. maybe he was happy that he got a day off , and I felt like he was enjoying how relaxed he felt . But the quietness didn't feel right ... I wanted to enjoy and make sure I don't waste a second with him .. because I know how busy a king could be . I don't know how just some attraction for him can change me from an unhappy bride to a curious one . I wanted to know him ....
Before my brain could stop , my mouth threw up the words "So , Tell me about yourself Edmund "
Edmund peeled open his eyes and those intense eyes met mine , infinite number of emotions in them ..
"Hello , my highness . My name is Edmund . Edmund Pevensie from Narnia . I'm the King Just and it's a pleasure to meet you" he spoke with a small smile/smirk tugged at his lips .
I let out a small laugh and spoke "Oh ! It's a pleasure to meet you , King Just . I'm Y/N . Y/N Y/L/N-" I stopped myself as I realised that I was no more a Y/L/N .
"Oh , I'm really sorry . My name is Y/n Pevensie and I'm a Queen of Narnia , The King Just's Wife ."
Edmund smiled a bit (and maybe , according to my eyes , he even blushed ?) at me and spoke "Come on , y/n . Tell me about you , I've heard a lot about you from your people but it'll be better to know it from you "
"Your wish is my command" I laughed with him and began telling him about me , without realising how easily we both conversed .
Time skip
Edmund's POV
"Really ?!" Y/n let out a snort when she heard how I defeated Peter so badly in chess
"Yeah , and then Peter gave me his classic look.." I made Peter's face , earning another beautiful laugh from her .
"Oh my god , you all are so fun and amazing to be with ! Just like a real family would be !" She remarked , but I couldn't quite understand what she said .
"I didn't get it " I spoke up .
"Oh , what I mean is , that you all are a family , right ? But in many kingdoms , family is full of wrath and jealousy . I haven't ever met a family like yours . It's really such a fun to hear your stories . I like it when you don't have to be king , I like it when you are Edmund , just Edmund " she spoke .
"I'm glad you liked my stories !" I exclaimed , deciding not to comment on the last part of her sentence .
"So , you're really good at chess and horse riding , huh?" She questioned .
I cockily replied "I'm good at other things too , but since you highlighted these , yeah I'm good at them !"
"and has anybody managed to defeat you ?" She questioned
"Not a soul !" I answered back , smirking .
"Then , King Edmund , I'd request you to be prepared for your very first defeat in the above stated fields .." y/n replied , a playful smile stretched on her face
"Oh really ?" I question playfully
"Yes , really .." she smiled at me childishly
"And who's gonna do that?"
"Me , your beloved wife !" She exclaimed proudly
I smiled at her , and she smiled back , but our eyes could shake off from each other . A silence encircled us as our eyes refused to leave each other's . Involuntarily , my eyes shifted from her eyes to her lips , and back to her eyes . The classic move before kissing .
And she leaned in . But the twinkle in her eye told me something was off . As soon as I began leaning in and we were close , she got up and ran towards Dorcas .
Mounting her horse , she yelled "The first one to reach the castle , wins the race !!"
I got up and ran towards my horse , even though we didn't kiss , my heart was hammering in my heart and blood was rushing furiously throughout my body . I , soon reached Philip and we raced towards the castle .
Time skip
Third person POV
"Haha , Edmund , you loose !!" Y/n teased Edmund as she waited on her horse while Edmund made his way to her ."I didn't expect you to be fooled so easily !" Y/n laughed as she dismounted Dorcas and patted her .
"Hey ! I'd rather blame it on your beauty ... It hypnotised me .. as it does everytime !" He clearly flirted . Like , yeah he did. Edmund's heartbeat had escalated to an alarming level as soon as he flirted . But.. y/n couldn't stop her blush . The positive response from y/n made edmund's heart swell with happiness . Tucking some hair behind her ear , she slowly made my way away from her horse and towards the castle , Edmund following her behind .
Let's say that the evening continued with the same romantic spirit as young love blossomed . But as known , nothing lasts forever . Unaware of the upcoming trouble , the couple happily strolled into the castle .

MA’AM 🥴 if you write about armorless Din going swimming I think. I just might lose. my mind 🥴
jump in
din djarin x reader wc: 2.3k warnings: heights, deep water, there is just fluff and it is dumb soft note: keep! i am so sorry this took so long im sure you’ve forgotten this ever even happened but i said i would do it and finally here it is 😂
Tumblr media
feat the gorgeous gif by @bestintheparsec that inspired it all
The rock is hard and rough under your bare feet, and it does nothing to encourage you. When you lean forward to peer over the edge below, you see Din’s form treading water some ten meters below you. Maybe a couple more. He holds onto a small raft with one hand where the kid sits, attention torn between splashing the water and looking up at you.
It could be done, you reasoned. You had just watched Din jump, throwing himself off the ledge and looking almost graceful as he dived headfirst, plunging into the depths before emerging at your side, hovering before giving you a wet kiss. Now all you had to do was jump.
You stare down at the both of them and the beautifully crystal-clear waters. Oh stars. It was a long way.
“Are you going to do it?” Din’s shout reaches you where you teeter over the drop, still debating. “You know you don’t have to!”
You can hear the taunt in his voice. When he had landed in the water, soaking both you and the kid, Grogu shrieked in delight while you cowered and grumbled about the spray. He had surfaced right next to you, bright eyes and the largest grin you’d seen on him in a long time. You’d praised him for it until he suggested you try the same.
Not a few minutes later and now here you stood, but with higher stakes. Of course he’d let you back out. He wanted to win.
“Shut up!” you yell back to him, cursing that you ever agreed to this. He made it look so easy, like it wasn’t really that high at all. It didn’t seem that high, not when you were still down below.
You curse him again, backing away from the edge and toward the slanting shale you climbed up.
“It’s okay, there’s no shame in backing out!”
Mother be damned, Din.
You stand back a few paces away, out of sight from the boys. You take a deep breath, ready to jump if only to prove him wrong. Blaster fire and dogfights didn’t scare you, a little jump shouldn’t either. You would be fine.
It’s important to be careful running barefoot on rock but you do it, carefully taking notice of every little detail. The dip in the ledge, the puddle of water, the perfect place to launch yourself and the speed at which to do it.
It should have been flawless.
To your credit, your form was impeccable for never having done this before. Din said it himself, though much later. You finally got out of your own head enough to do it, flying off the rock and flipping in the air. A real head over heels flip that you wish could have been caught on holo.
It’s a shame you have no blasted idea how to dive.
You hit the water with a straight back, the smack nearly bringing you to tears if not for the fact your head was already under the water, and you started to sink. It hurt. It really kriffing hurt.
But at least you won.
Din’s at your side in a moment, not hesitating to reach before you go any farther, pulling you back up to the surface with a strong arm. He still treads water even while holding you, another hand carefully reaching to steady the kid’s raft before continuing its motion.
“Are you alright?” His face is pulled tight in concern, wet hair pasted to his forehead. You appreciate how expressive he is without the helmet. You don’t think you’ll ever get used to it.
You wince when his hand grazes your back, but you brush it off, letting the cool water soothe the sting. “Fine,” you gasp, shaking your head clear of water. “I’m okay.” You grin when you realize exactly what you just did.
Din gently nudges the kid’s little boat forward, pulling you closer to his other side as he tries to bring you back to shore.
“Din, it’s alright, I’ve had worse, really,” you wrap your arm over his shoulders, “we can stay, he’s having fun.” Sure enough, Grogu laughs delightedly at the increased speed of his vessel, happy to enjoy the water from a dry spot.
Din stops, letting the raft slow to a stop too before looks over you. “Are you sure?” He reaches forward, water droplets falling from his fingers as he reaches for your face, pushing your hair back. The touch is gentle and affectionate, and you take a moment to catch your breath and clear your lungs. When you press a kiss to the palm of his hand, his lips part and you watch his eyes dart over your face.
You smile, finally pulling away to tread water on your own.
“Looks like you’re cooking tonight,” you say.
“Looks like I am.”
“So what’s it going to be? Ration packs are off the table.”
“Then you might have to starve.”
“The agreement was to cook, Din, not just open a package.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he smiles softly at you, slowly pulling his attention back to the kid. He’s been patient through your exchange, only threatening to jump into the water once you both look to him.
For a kid that hates getting wet, Grogu sure was hell bent on chasing anything that moved. When you had walked up to the sparkling lake, he spotted a small frog-like creature and immediately set off. He nearly got the three-legged beast before it leapt under the water, and your poor son fell in after it.
It must have been the most unpleasant experience he ever had with the small tantrum he gave, but apparently it was not enough to keep him from trying to enter the waves again. You had sat on the shore next to Din then, focusing on drying him off while Din fashioned the small raft. His mood has seemed to greatly improve since then.
“Maybe you can catch a few of those little frogs and roast ‘em.”
Din makes face, wrinkling his nose at you and pushes the kid closer to you. You receive him and gently slow him down, smiling at the boy as he giggles, before pushing him back to his father.
“I think only one of us would like that,” Din says, reaching to slow the raft once again, smiling when Grogu reaches for his face as he tries to keep his balance. He lets the kid float for a moment, and Grogu reaches to dip his fingers in the water before shaking them off to splatter across Din’s face.
You smile at their interaction, swimming over to join them. The kid finds a nice distraction while lying down on the raft, patting the surface of the water then aggressively trying to rid himself of the wet. You meet Din, and he easily wraps his arms around your waist while you wind yours over his shoulders. Your damp top sticks to you, your bare legs brushing against Din’s in the water.
It’s nice to be able to enjoy a moment like this, just the three of you in the middle of nowhere. The kid is happy to explore, and you’re just happy to rest in Din’s arms. You let your head fall to Din’s shoulder, watching your son as Din keeps the both of you upright.
“I knew you could do it.”
Din’s words interrupt your thoughts, but you don’t miss his teasing tone.
“Yeah? Then why would you take the bet?”
“Well, I didn’t think you would do it.”
You laugh, your head tilted back so you can feel the sun shine on your face and your chest press to his. He studies your face, a matching grin on his own. You don’t know what he sees, but he looks so much happier, lines erased, eyes finally rested. Your plan to take a few days to yourselves has done more good than he’d be willing to admit.
He pulls you close, eyes dropping down to your mouth. It’s easy to be called into the pull of him, always has. So as soon as you note the way he looks between your lips and eyes, you lean in, meeting him in a sweet kiss. His lips are soft, taste like the salt of the water. The two of you stay like that, floating and turning, holding tight to the other. You pull away slightly, forcing your eyes to open, only to be met with his smile again.
For just a moment, you let yourself get lost in it, the way he is still soaked from his jump, jaw unshaven for the past few days. His hair is getting longer now, and you think you might offer to cut it for him again. Or maybe you’ll let him grow it a little longer.
The kid coos, pulling both your attention back to him. He’s drifted in the time you were distracted and waves a long blade of grass at you he didn’t hold before. He almost looks put out as he sits on the little raft, not amused to be left to entertain himself.
Din sighs, a content sound, that pulls at your heart.
“Hold on to me,” he says, arms slipping from you even as you tighten your grip on him. He leans back in the water, you on his chest, and begins to swim backwards toward shore, pulling you with him.
You reach Grogu in less than a second, support his boat so he is pulled with you. Din continues to reach back, pushing the water forward to bring all three of you towards land.
“You’re a strong swimmer,” you note. He seems in his element, even if he wears nothing but an old pair of shorts. Free of the helmet, of the armor, there’s always been some trepidation. It’s gotten better with just the two of you around, but here, he really seems as though he is just himself.
“I should hope so, with all the training I did.” He grunts as he pulls you up, both of you finally able to stand waist-deep. The kid comes to float between you, and he stabs the water with his blade.
“You trained to swim?” You wonder how that would work. “Did you do that with the armor?”
“Sometimes,” he pushes himself back, finding a seat as the water reaches his chest. You nudge the kid towards him. “We did all sorts of drills but learning to swim is important. People think with the armor, it’s easy to drown a Mandalorian.”
He quiets after that, and you fall silent too. You remember the terror of seeing him prodded like an animal in his cage, certain he would drown if you didn’t do something. You silently thank his leaders for those drills.
“I assume that’s not the case with you,” you tease, trying to lighten the mood.
“We have to learn to swim in the armor. I was lucky,” he stops to smile at the kid, gratefully taking the grass he offers him, “I knew how to swim before I put on the armor.”
Your eyebrows shoot up, suddenly concerned. “What did they just put you in suits of metal and throw you in whether or not you knew how to swim?”
Din wiggles the grass blade above Grogu’s head, making the poor kid frustrated as he tries to grab it back.
“Din?”
He looks at you sheepishly. “That’s…not far off.”
“Oh Maker.”
“They made sure we were okay,” he defends. “The best way to learn is to do, so we did. It saved my life later.”
You shake your head, still a little shocked. “I can’t argue with that.”
You wade through the shallows, coming to sit in the sand next to him, resting your head on his shoulder. The sun is lower in the sky, just peaking above the mountains that rise on the other side of the lake. The breeze is warm, but you’ve adjusted to the cool water now, only slightly shivering when the air kisses your wet skin.
Din leans into you too, his free hand coming to rest on your bare thigh. He’s relented the grass back to the kid, who now quietly sits, twisting the blade into an attempt at a knot. He huffs in frustration, but you admire the way he furrows his little brow and only focuses harder.
You let your eyes wander up to the man you lean on, appreciating the curve of his jaw, the stretch of his neck, the way he fondly stares down at your little green gremlin who has now taken to shoving the grass in his mouth. You let a hand fall to Din’s thigh, feeling the muscle as you move your hand, appreciating the chance to touch his bare skin so easily.
He notices you’re looking eventually, turning to you with a quirk of his lips.
“What?”
You smile again, just happy to look at the way he looks down at you, brows pinched and small pout of his lips. You tilt your chin just a little, and his lips are on yours again. You kiss him softly, once, twice, thrice. You don’t tire of it, being able to share affection without concern.
“Oh nothing,” you whisper against his lips. “Just thinking about the gorgeous view.” His mouth curls into a bashful smile, and you don’t miss the tinge to his cheeks. “Also thinking about the gorgeous view scrounging up some dinner…”
Din groans, but when you both check on the kid, you see him attempting to shove anything within reach in his mouth. You laugh as you both move into action, Din coming to hold the child while you quickly pull the dirty object from his mouth. The three of you stand now, where the waves meet the sand at your ankles and the last rays of light warm your skin.
“Come on,” you say, letting Din pull you to his side as he takes Grogu up in his other arm. “Let’s see if you’re as good a cook as you are a swimmer.”
