Jealousy
Tumblr media
Request: Can I please request a Cooper x Fem reader comfort angst romance where the sweet reader is infatuated with Cooper (she has a thing for older men)The sweet reader is always doing unnecessary favors for him, like secretly giving him discounts on rad away and supplies, taking care of dog meat, and getting him information on bounties. Until he brings along Lucy, misunderstanding the whole situation, the reader’s heart breaks thinking the worst and slowly stops trying and acting cold and distant, making Cooper notice that the only tolerable person he has ever known in this god forsaken world is ignoring him. (Feel free to add or change anything just pls feed into my delusions😭 I just want some hardcore romance with our cowboy) Also can u pls add that the reader also has a cute southern accent?
Cooper Howard/The Ghoul x f!reader
Description: As a wandering trader, you've made a lot of strange friends. Among them, Ghouls, but there is one in particular that is your favorite.
Notes: I hope I did this justice for you anon!
The Wasteland was brutal, and even you knew it was a bad idea to trek it alone, but you had a job to do. However, as you found yourself in front of your old friend Roger's home you felt like the Wastelands weren't all that bad.
"My name.. is Roger." You heard him repeating between snarls.
You stopped in your tracks outside the door. "He's turning," You thought to yourself as you rummaged through your pack looking for any vials of Radaway. You were all out. Sighing, you put your hand on your holster before slowly making your way inside to check on your friend.
"Rog?" You ask as you round the corner to find him sitting in the dirt.
"Oh hey," he said relieved. "My savior. Do you have any Radaway?"
"I don't have any, Rog." You replied sadly.
"Oh." He whispered. "You should probably get out of here then. It's not safe for little girls like you to be in the Wastelands alone." He said sadly, leaving out the bit you both knew, you weren't safe with HIM alone. 
Before you could respond, you heard quiet footsteps down the corridor. "Who else is here?" You thought to yourself as your hand went back to your holster. Peaking your head around the corner you find none other than Cooper Howard and... a vaultie? You did very little to hide the confusion on your face as you looked between the two.
"Hey, you." You said to Cooper. "What are you doing here?"
"Could ask you the same thing, sweetheart." He responds, pushing the vaultie through the doorway and making his way to Roger.
"Hey Rog," Cooper greets him.
"Hey. Hey." Rogers laughs, relieved to see his friend. "Fancy seeing you here. You out for that bounty, too, huh?"
"Yep," Cooper responds as he knelt in front of his friend.
You all stand there in silence for a bit, listening to Roger snarl and whip his head around. 
"Oh, shit," Roger says between wails.
"How you feeling?" Cooper asks quietly, already knowing the answer.
"Oh.. you know," Roger replied. "It's hard out here. Dang smoothies can be so unkind. I see you got a smoothie of your own." He says as he looks over at the vaultie.
You also turn to look at the vaultie, a look of displeasure on your face. "A smoothie of your own." Repeating over and over in your head. You wanted to be his smoothie. You and Cooper never really started a relationship, but you thought you were heading in that direction. You gave him a generous discount on Radaway since you developed a little crush on him, and he would always spend more time than necessary with you whenever you crossed paths. He was always fussing after you and was always telling you how you were too reckless. In his eyes, everything was too dangerous for you. He knew how you felt about him, and you THOUGHT you knew how he felt about you, but this vaultie threw a wrench in everything. "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe he doesn't like me." You thought to yourself while eyeing her up. You were so lost in thought that you could barely hear Roger snarling next to you. 
"You're turning," Cooper says reluctantly, his voice pulling you from your thoughts.
"Yeah maybe, maybe." Roger says on the verge of tears, "Maybe. Hey, you don't happen to have any vials, do you? Y/n is all out."
Cooper's eyes met yours as you nodded your head sadly.
"Just one little puff and I'll be back on my feet. You know I'm good for it." Roger pleaded.
"I'm sorry Roger I am all out," Cooper says, looking back toward his friend.
"That's okay. That's okay." Roger mumbles. "Though, um, you and y/n and your smooth-faced friend, you um... you might want to clear out before things get ugly."
You flinch as you hear Roger snarl again, each time he was getting louder and louder. You look down at your feet with tears in your eyes.
"I did okay. 28 years since I first started showing," Roger said looking between you and Cooper, before snarling again. "Oh, hell! Not as long as you though." He pointed proudly at Cooper, "You've outlasted us all. How long since you first started Wastelanding?"
"A long time," Cooper responds while shaking his head.
"That's a lot of vials," Roger said quietly.
"Well I've always been good at making money, Roger." Cooper exhales as he stands up. "Say, you remember how good food used to taste?"
"Yeah, BlamCo Mac and Cheese!" Roger says excitedly.
"Ice Cream and Apple Pie." Cooper countered.
Roger laughed, a real laugh. He was happy. "Apple Pie is not nearly as sweet as young Y/n's southern accent though." He says smiling up at you. "You know, my mom used to -"
Before you knew what happened, Roger's brains were all over the wall. You looked up at Cooper with tears in your eyes. You knew it had to be done. You knew it was mercy, but it still hurt. 
"Why did you do that?" The vaultie asked. "He was sick."
"He wasn't gonna get better." You responded dryly.
"You usually don't go all the way out here sweetheart, not on your own. What are you up to?" Cooper asks you as he picks up Roger's body and places it in a position where he easily access what he needs.
You don't respond. Between the jealousy brewing in your stomach at the vaultie next to you and the sadness about Roger, you couldn't find the words you wanted to say. 
"Stop. Stop Stop." The vaultie pleaded, "Please, I know it's hard out here but you don't, you don't have, you don't have to resort to... to..."
Before he could respond you quickly made your way out of the building for some fresh air. You could hear their voices inside, but you decided to drown them out by humming to yourself. You didn't need to see him take apart Roger, and you definitely couldn't stand the sound of her voice any longer. You knew you should get walking, you were low on supplies and they would be leaving the building soon. You didn't want to face them again, but it felt like there were bricks in your boots. As exhaustion hit you, you sat down in the sand and closed your eyes, losing track of time.
"Hey," You hear Cooper say as he puts his hand on your shoulder. "You good, sweetheart?"
'Fine." You mumbled out. "You and your smoothie should get going." The venom in your voice was loud and clear, but you didn't care.
"That's what got ya panties in a bunch?" Cooper laughed. 
You glared up at him in response. "Don't laugh at me, Cooper."
"I am taking her to SuperDuperMart. Not keepin’ her as a pet.” Cooper smiles as he offers you his hand. 
"Oh," You responded quietly, feeling stupid.
"What is SuperDuperMart?" You heard the vaultie ask, but the two of you completely ignored her.
"No one could ever replace you, sweetheart," Cooper says as he cups your face. 
You couldn't help the smile that graced your face at his words, and the blush that creeped up your neck.
He smiled when he noticed the way your eyes flickered towards his lips. 
"When I get my hands on some Radaway, I'll show you just how much you mean to me." You whispered.
"Lookin' forward to it." He whispered back.
The two of you were so caught up in each other that you didn't even notice the look of pure disgust on the vaultie's face as she watched your interaction. Some people may never understand why you like Cooper so much, but honestly? You couldn't give a damn.

It's Friday Sunday, and that means it's time for more omegaverse shenanigans. 🥳
Sadly, this will be my last Pit Babe novel commentary post for a while because the main story only has 25 chapters. But worry not! Apparently there's a few extra chapters and if anything significant happens you'll be the first to know (but don't be surprised if it's just chapter upon chapter of kinky sex - that's just how Daddy and Papa Charlie and Babe roll).
If you want to catch up, you can find parts 1, 2, 3 & 4 here.
As for this part - expect major spoilers, shenanigans (both omegaverse and not), family reunions, family reunions... and fun card games. But more on that later.
For now, let's get back to Babe, who's apparently rich enough to own a white Ferrari. Show-off. He's currently on his way back to Khun Tony, and he's such a brat about it that he fools the guards into letting him through. Things escalate from there. Babe threatens to bring Tony to justice once and for all, to which Tony reacts with mild bemusement. He's no longer interested in Babe since he's lost his powers, and he even taunts him with Charlie's (supposed) death. No, Tony didn't want Charlie dead. He merely wanted to incapacitate him in order to bring him back home (because car accidents are such a precise science...). It's a pity that Charlie died but, really, at least he's free now. Or something.
This man must have stupid amounts of money to throw at all of his plans because, quite honestly, they're shit. Oh well, at least we know where Way learned his... well, unnecessarily long-winded (TEN YEARS!!) ways.
Babe has heard enough but sadly Kenta steps in before he can get his hands on Tony. This leads to more taunting and the appearance of Way, who casually slings Babe over his shoulder and forcibly removes him from the premises. Which leaves the guards like, "who tf even was that weirdo?" Oh, to be a guard in Khun Tony's employment...
Tumblr media
(photoshop is my passion)
Meanwhile, Charlie (alive and, uh, relatively well) is still busy having his stolen powers exorcised by Babe's long-lost dad (the real one this time). The more he uses a particular ability, the longer it takes to meditate out of him. No, seriously, Reval and Charlie are basically just sitting in a room mind-palacing the powers away. Apparently it's very draining.
They also talk about Charlie's guilt, and how he believes it's best to stay away from Babe as not to hurt him again. Sure, he could leave the final decision to Babe but even that, he fears, might be selfish of him as that leaves Babe with the burden of having to decide in the first place. No matter what he does, it will cause Babe both happiness and pain - just like when Charlie's initial selfishness brought him closer to Babe and then almost drove him away entirely. Charlie's mind is going in circles. He's so protective of Babe that he doesn't realise - no matter his intentions, no matter his inaction - he can't untangle himself from the hurt he's already caused and will cause going forward.
Oh, and by the way? That moment when Charlie "died" in the hospital and Babe thought he was getting his powers back and had to listen in on every excruciating detail of Charlie's body shutting down? Yeah, turns out that was Charlie causing (mass) hallucinations and slowing down his body functions. Poor Alan had to go identify Charlie's body in the morgue while Babe was in such a bad way that he basically stopped functioning.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: what the hell, Charlie, you positively traumatised the poor boy. Could you maybe have kicked the bucket a little less dramatically? Did you really have to enact all of Babe's worst nightmares to make it more convincing? Just because you mean well (and didn't do it over the span of TEN YEARS for weird omegaverse breeding purposes) doesn't make it all right.
But more on that later.
Babe has made his way to a safe house. There, he meets Pete - the oldest of Tony's sons and currently AWOL, same as Babe. Pete is adorable, all sunshine and puppies and right-hand man of a local mafia boss. Or something. Because, you see, Pete figured out early on that the only way to leave Tony was to seek the protection of someone even worse. So he started working with the mafia, as you do. Apparently, he's so good at his job that he's convinced them all to go straight. Now he's studying to become a doctor. Oh, and also planning Tony's demise by preparing a really effective presentation.
That's where Babe comes in. Him visiting Tony's mansion was all a distraction - a sleight of hand, if you will. Even though he complains about Way manhandling him (Pete offers to get him a masseuse for the pain) it was all part of their plan:
While Babe distracted the guards by making a big stink, Way snuck into Tony's evil room of plotting (or something) and stole all of his evil data. When he later dragged Babe outside, he used the opportunity to slip the data stick into his pocket. On it there's evidence of all of Tony's evil business transactions. It would be easy to give it to the police, but Pete cautions against it. The evidence would simply vanish - something that has apparently happened many times before. Instead, Pete plans to reveal all of Tony's evil deeds in a way that makes it impossible for anyone to ignore.
We cut to Charlie and Babe sharing a cute moment. Wait, what?
"I've never loved anyone this much before." Babe's voice was soft, as if he didn't really want to accept reality, but he couldn't help but share those feelings with [Charlie]. "I'm afraid that if I love you too much, it will make you uncomfortable. [...] I'm afraid I can't love you as well as you love me."
Is it a dream? A memory? A (shared) vision? Whatever it is, before Babe wakes up from it, he and Charlie share some fundamental truths about themselves. About how Babe doesn't really know how to act now that he's in a relationship because he's never been allowed to be in love. About how he feels vulnerable and unsure, afraid of taking too much instead of giving back. But Charlie reassures him that he likes Babe just the way he is. He feels very loved, and anyway, he's also never loved anyone before so it's not like he has any grounds for comparison.
Meanwhile, Charlie also just woke up. He's given away the last of his powers and he's very exhausted. Jeff is with him to keep him company. Outside, it's just stopped raining. The rain makes Charlie think of Babe because it accompanied them throughout their relationship: when they argued, when they fought, and when they first became boyfriends.
"And the first day you became a normal person, it also rained," Jeff added with a small smile [...]. "But you couldn't see it in time. Only I saw." "Yes, when I woke up, the rain had already stopped." "Maybe that's a good sign." "A good sign?" "Yes," the young man nodded lightly. "Because the rain has stopped. [...] The sky is clear now."
What is this? Allegory? In my omegaverse novel??
There's always been a shadow hanging over Charlie and Babe's relationship - heavy and dark like a rain cloud, constantly reminding them of their past, their powers and the lies it took for them to even meet. Charlie has worked hard to rid them of their powers, and Babe is busy taking action against Tony. Maybe honesty and trust are all that stand in the way of them getting their happily ever after...
Until then, all they have is last night's dream, because as it turns out Charlie shared Babe's vivid memory. Babe's powers were the last to get exorcised and perhaps it created a momentary psychic bond between them. You never know with these omegaverse x-men.
What follows is the moment we've all been waiting for: the grand finale. The Ides of... whatever month this is but I hope Khun Tony gets stabbed to death by all of his adopted children. Et tu Way!
Meanwhile, Khun Tony is throwing a party. And by party I mean a human trafficking auction where he sells off some of his beloved children to fellow rich people. Charming. Why bother with a plan at all? Why not set everything on fire?
Right, because Pete really, really wants everyone to see his presentation.
Currently, Babe is disguising himself as a waiter. We all know waiting (and retail) staff are invisible to most people so no one recognises him except for one lone guard who's so smitten that he asks Babe out on a date.
Pete is also in disguise while Way pretends to be a good son and accompanies Tony for some good old-fashioned evil mingling. Their plan is to disrupt the auction and reveal all of Tony's illegal machinations.
This is a very questionable idea because I don't know about you but if I was at an auction trying to buy a child I'd probably not care if the auctioneer was evil. I'd probably ask for a slice of the evil pie.
Just as Babe is about to set their plan in motion, he's interrupted by Kenta. Uh-oh.
But, much like Pete and Way, Kenta too has had enough of Tony and was just waiting for the perfect moment to act. He assures Babe that he won't interfere. In fact, it was him who let Way into Tony's evil room of plotting to gather all of the incriminating info on him. Et tu Kenta!
"About helping you guys, this is a personal matter. [...] I have a brain, I can think for myself, and I know what to do. [...] But not everyone has many choices. Especially me. I can't make the same choice as you. [...] So, this is the best I can do. [...] You can handle the rest yourself, right?"
And so, Kenta leaves this story (presumably with some of Tony's financial assets) never to be seen again. What a shame. Kim's existence in the series will hopefully fix this.
Meanwhile, the auction is about to begin. I mean, the... uh, fundraising for poor, underprivileged children who also happen to have powers. Everyone's delighted - except for the poor kids who are led on stage one by one and then sold off like priced cattle. The thought alone makes Babe sick. Would the same have happened to him if he hadn't run away that day (no Babe, I thought we had established that you'd have been part of the breeding program...)?
And now, after having watched episode 5 of the tv series, I wonder if this is where the plot will lead us in lieu of the omegaverse plot. Tony mentioned an auction. I wonder if his goal is to sell Babe (and any other of his adopted children) for profit.
Anyway.
Babe's thoughts are cut short by a guard patrolling in front of Pete and his hiding place. Babe decides to check things out but he's quickly overwhelmed by the much stronger guard. He starts choking Babe and things almost go from bad to worse until someone unexpected comes to Babe's rescue.
That someone is Charlie - and there's a short, sweet and intense reunion between them that proves all of his fears wrong:
"I'm sorry." "It's okay," Babe let go of the hug and immediately responded without stopping for a second, his palms framed the other man's cheeks, before kissing his entire face: his forehead, nose, cheeks and lips. "It's okay, Charlie. Really, it's okay." The beautiful alpha hugged the tall young man again while repeating "It's okay" over and over again until the listener felt guilty.
Well, that was easy. But more on that later.
Charlie, Babe and Pete quickly catch up and then join forces. Pete is amazed that Charlie gave up his powers to escape Tony's clutches, going so far as to even fake his death to protect his loved ones. He's also amazed that he'd even dare come here - powerless and without a nifty presentation.
(And also, how does this whole having no powers thing even work? Did Reval - and in turn Charlie when he stole Babe's powers - rewrite Charlie's whole dna? Because how else would that even affect Tony's evil breeding program? And why am I so concerned about the specifics of omegaverse shenanigans? For all I know none of these characters even know or care about dna.)
It's quickly decided - probably due to Charlie's lack of nifty presentations - that they'll continue following Pete's plan. But wait, where is Jeff? There's no way he'd have let Charlie come here on his own!
Back at the auction, another child is led onto the stage to be sold. It's none other than Jeff. The auction grinds to a halt while Tony attempts to save face. This leaves Jeff with enough time to introduce himself and his powers. His name is Jeff, he's a 20-year-old omega and he can see the future.
"In no more than ten minutes, everyone in this room will have the same future." Jeff looked around the room with a bright smile before saying his next sentence which made the entire meeting room fall silent. "That is, death." The little Omega smiled broadly as if his own prediction was very pleasant.
I love Jeff so much. Make them suffer!
He then adds that there's a bomb hidden in the building and it will go off if even one person attempts to leave. Who even needs nifty presentations when you've got... Oracle Omega (no seriously, this is what the novel - or rather, the machine translation - calls him. Maybe it's his code name).
Everyone is then forced to watch Pete's presentation. I really, really hope it looks something like this:
Tumblr media
I'm not joking, it has talking cartoon dogs. Interactive talking cartoon dogs overlaid with incriminating voice files of Tony.
Turns out Tony's guests are okay with human trafficking and buying children but they draw the line at violence and murder embezzlement. Everyone is all shocked and clutching their pearls and secretly very glad that their names don't come up in this weird cartoon dog powerpoint presentation.
Tony's acting all cool until the cartoon dogs reveal that this presentation is broadcast live and for everyone to see - this includes live footage of the auction.
But it's never too late to fix your past mistakes so Tony draws his gun on Jeff because he would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids!
Luckily, Way quickly intervenes before Tony can fire his gun, but even though Tony's many guards are somewhat suspicious of a little guy with a bomb and someone who hypnotises people for a living, they're quickly overpowered. In the control room above, Charlie, Babe and Pete don't fare much better.
Everything seems lost until there's a loud crash.
It's Alan in a black supercar and he's crashed through the doors leading to the auction hall.
They're on the second floor (it is sadly later revealed that Alan didn't drive up the stairs - the car was already parked in front of the doors because this is what rich people do to impress other rich people, I guess).
But Alan isn't alone. He's brought several other racers, among them Six (Babe's old rival who was probably turned into either Kim or Winner in the series). Six is a powerful alpha who can cause mass hallucinations that are so strong that they're banned by law.
Yeah.
Tony's guards are going down!
Meanwhile, Tony has had enough. He locks down the whole mansion so no one can escape. Charlie, Babe and Pete make their way up to the roof because there might be a skylight without security doors. They have guns, the many guards have guns, but it's okay because this is where Pete enigma powers come in.
You see, Pete has super control over his whole body, meaning that he never misses a shot.
Tumblr media
I guess this explains this bit in the series (except for the part where the arrows are all over the place). But also congrats to Way for his future boyfriend with amazing body control.
While Pete is busy being awesome, Charlie and Babe lament the fact that they're probably going to die here when there's so much sex still to be had. :((((
Things are looking dire indeed. They're surrounded and out of bullets. One of the guards takes aim at Babe but before the bullet can hit him Charlie intervenes by jumping into its path. Miraculously, he's okay.
But that's because a few steps away Way has also jumped into the bullet's path and it's hit him instead. Babe is in shock. He hates Way for what he's done but in a way he's still his best friend. While Alan unsuccessfully tries to stop the bleeding Babe comes closer:
"Babe…" Way's dry voice called out his name as soon as he knelt beside him. "This is all I can do." Babe was silent, he just stared at his former best friend's face, tears flowing silently, without him even realizing it. "I know whatever price I pay, it probably won't be enough. But this is all I can do." Way's voice is very soft, as light as his breath. "…. I'm sorry for being a friend like this.."
And then he dies. Babe is inconsolable, sobbing and tightly hugging Way's lifeless body. He's still angry with Way, and he'll never forgive him for what he's done, but he didn't want him to die.
They better change this whole part in the series or I'll riot. I watched Nut Supanut die once in Something in my Room and I still haven't recovered.
Their victory is overshadowed by Way's death. Tony is apprehended alive and taken into custody. His evil alpha trafficking and breeding program is no more.
A little while later, Charlie finds Babe sitting alone in the mansion's garden. They talk, and Charlie apologises once more for letting Babe believe that he was dead. If Babe wants him to, he will disappear from his life and even stop racing cars so that they'll never have to meet again. This is all he can do: give Babe the freedom to decide for himself. But Babe only asks him if he truly wants to leave, and of course Charlie doesn't. And that's that. Babe has made his choice. He has decided long ago that he wants Charlie in his life.
Their long-lasting painful lives ended in the garden of the mansion that raised them to grow up like caged animals, allowing them to meet and fall in love. Today, everything has ended. It ended with the falling rain washing away their blood stains, sweat and tears, as well as a sweet kiss that he had been thinking about for a long time, making him feel able to stand in the rain without feeling afraid.
Oh, the rain allegory (and also oh, the bad machine translation)!
The novel ends quietly with Way's funeral, eerily similar to Charlie's fake funeral a few weeks prior. It's attended by the same handful of people. Even the clothes they wear are the same (which is convenient, I guess, but also... ouch!). Despite his many wrongdoings, people loved Way - and this includes Babe. And as it turns out, it was Way who got rid of whoever caused Babe's racing accident. He never told anyone about it.
Babe stays behind with Charlie and mourns his friend. He recognises that his feelings of friendship and betrayal are both valid and important (and later on it's established that Babe actively works on processing his traumatic experiences with the help of mediaction and therapy - and you know, I really appreciate the novel's nuanced approach to a character's mental health. It's an incredibly rare thing to see in Thai BL and an even rarer thing in most kinky stories). He won't forgive Way but...
"In the next life, please be kind to me. Don't deceive me again [...} Be a good friend, idiot!"
Which is as much of a peace-offering as anyone can hope for - wishing to meet each other again in the next life under better circumstances. Negl, I teared up because it's such a bittersweet thing to say. 😭
Meanwhile, Alan and Jeff have gone ahead and are talking in the car. Their ending is vaguely romantic (with their growing relationship hopefully developing further in the bonus chapters) but for now, all Alan asks of Jeff is to accept him in his heart as his brother. Please, don't phi nong me, novel!
And because this is Pit Babe the novel, we get one last drawn out sex scene that consists of Charlie trying to cheer Babe up by suggesting a game of naughty cards. A bit like strip uno, I guess. Naturally, Babe wins, but Charlie is allowed to leave his glasses on - and wear nothing but an apron while he gives Babe the bestest and longest and absolutely mindblowing (yes, there's a lot of blowing too) dicking of his life. Babe, my man, enjoy. You truly deserve it.
The End.
No wait, the novel actually ends with Babe and Charlie racing again for this year's title of King of the Hollow. Charlie is very skilled now, and it's very close but I'm relieved to say that Babe's experience and talent isn't all for nothing and OF COURSE HE FUCKING WINS.
The End.
Hold on, wait. I forgot about the part where Charlie takes Babe to see Reval - his real father. And of course Babe forgives him and it's all very sweet and they live happily ever after.
THE END. For real this time. Except for the bonus chapters. And unless the mpreg happens there (I mean, Jeff and North are technically available...), that's it for the omegaverse shenanigans.
When I first started writing these commentary posts I never thought they'd become so detailed and long - or that people would actually be interested in reading them. Thank you so much to everyone who left replies and tags. Sharing the insanity and reading everyone's reactions was honestly the best part of it all. May Pit Babe the series treat us kindly, and may none of us ever pop up in a cartoon dog powerpoint presentation. 🙏

Can i request a Rhea x fem imagine, where the R’s personality is like original alexa bliss NXT debut, like girly/fairy all that. She’s also part of the bloodline and has a secret relationship with Rhea, cause the judgement day and bloodline are in a feud. Then hints about their relationship drops to both groups, then after a huge win Rhea congratulates her exposing their relationship. It causes both groups to majorly buttheads about it, making like slick remarks. It just ends in fluff, and has angst and all that. Lol thank you so much!💛💛
blood is thicker than water
a/n: pls i hope i did this idea justice
tags: fem!reader, poc!reader, wlw, little cousin!reader w/ the uso's/roman reigns, brief mention of the judgement day, SFW
Tumblr media
There was something so fun about sneaking around behind your cousins' backs. None of them needed to know about your relationship with Rhea because it was truly none of their business, but they also wanted nothing more than to keep you away from them. The Judgement Day was the same way with Rhea, but she was more assertive when it came to standing up for herself in comparison to you.
You and Rhea apparently weren't as sneaky as you originally thought though, as someone had begun to drop hints to not only your cousins and Paul and to The Judgement Day as well. You didn't even know until your older cousins sat with you looking incredibly pissed.
"You better be honest with us, Y/N." Jey said. Jimmy was pacing around the room, and Paul was watching you very closely to see what your answer would be. But you just rolled your eyes and pretended like nothing happened. "You guys just really have zero faith in me, don't you?" You asked them; that alone unleashed a whole argument. Of course you loved your family, but they couldn't just let you be yourself and it was incredibly frustrating.
The Judgement Day had been pestering Rhea about it just as much. "So now you're sneaking around with The Bloodline?" Damian would ask. Finn would chime in and provide his two sense, Dominik being too confused and upset to even say anything. But Rhea just shook her head and ignored them as well. "If you're gonna believe some sneak who has no clue what they're talking about then you're no better than them." She would say.
After having those conversations though, you and Rhea had your usual secret meet-up in a tech closet backstage. You sat in her lap, Rhea's fingers drawing gentle patterns on your arms as you talked about the conversations each group was having. "I don't get it's even an issue." You mumbled to her, and Rhea sighed in frustration along with you.
"It doesn't," she assured you. "They're all too controlling for their own good." Rhea titled your face up to look at you sadly. "This doesn't change anything for me though, okay?" She assured you. "I'm not going anywhere."
You nodded at her words, your foreheads leaning together as you sat in comfortable silence. After some time though, Rhea giggled at you and you stared at her in confusion. "I'm glad our pain is funny." You mumbled, making her laugh again.
Rhea lifted your face and held your cheeks as she smirked. "I have an idea." She told you.

Originally you thought Rhea was insane; was she truly going to just...expose your relationship? After The Bloodline and The Judgement Day were already butting heads? The thought made you just slightly nauseous but you had to trust her. Rhea already had a plan, and you just needed to sit back and let it happen.
You had a huge match that night against Bayley, and it was going to determine whether you were going to get the championship match you'd been dying for. Not only were you itching for that opportunity but your cousins had been down your throat about it.
Nothing about that match was easy; not only were you fighting Bayley, but Io and Dakota were trying to make everything that much difficult. They kept interfering, distracting you, doing anything they could to give Bayley the upper hand. It didn't work though, and you came out on top in arguably one of the biggest matches of your career so far. Not only that, but you did it without your cousin. You proved that you don't need them, and you hoped they could finally realize that.
As you stood in the ring celebrating your big win, Rhea's music hit and she was slowly making her way down the ramp. With both of you still in character, she stared at you with the same shit-eating grin she always had on her face and you watched at her with the intense stare you'd mastered from watching your cousins. Rhea took her time getting up into the ring and she stood across from you. She slowly inched closer and you tried to hide the smirk tugging at the corner of your lips but it was nearly impossible.
Before you knew it, her hands were on your hips and she was pulling you into a passionate kiss. The audience went wild, and you know both your cousins and Rhea's partners were backstage going absolutely mad. But you didn't care; all you needed in this moment was Rhea, and for the first time in a long time things felt...okay. All because you didn't need to hide anymore.
--- ---
"Y/N, what the hell do you think this is? A game?" Jimmy asked you. As soon as you got backstage with Rhea, your cousins led you into your locker room while The Judgement Day began pestering Rhea. You sat on the couch as your cousins and Paul stood in front of you; your family watched you in anger, while the Wise Man was in disbelief.
You crossed your arms before answering Jimmy. "I never said this was a game." You said. "I don't get why this is such a big deal! We wouldn't have this issue if you guys would just let us do what we wanted to do!"
Paul moved to sit across from you. He was someone who always tried to butter you up and appeal to your senses, but he wasn't going to win this. "It's not that we don't want you to." He said softly. "Your cousins want you to be happy. The Tribal Chief wants you to be happy." You rolled her eyes and looked away from Paul. "But being happy is not always what's best for your tribe."
Paul's words made your blood boil. "Well sometimes the tribe doesn't always need to come first." You said, standing up and grabbing your bag. "We'll talk about this later. But just so you guys know, I'm not giving up on Rhea just because you guys can't get along with The Judgement Day." Before anyone else could say anything, you left the room and walked to the parking lot where Rhea was waiting for you at her rental.
She looked up from where she leaned against the side of the car, and she immediately wrapped her arms around you in a hug. "The boys finished your tongue lashing?" Rhea teased softly.
You chuckled against her neck and breathed in her scent. "More like I cut it short." You mumbled, pulling back to give her a kiss. "I take it your boys weren't thrilled either?"
Rhea hummed and gave you another kiss. "They'll survive." She chuckled. "I'm done talking about them though. Tonight's about us." She opened the car door for you, and for the first time since being with Rhea you felt like things were normal...even if your respective factions were anything but thrilled.

Tumblr media
Kunikida
When you first met he fell for it! You where his ideal woman but he also thought you where a damsel in destress and was honestly confused on how you joined the Ada
He thought that until you were undercover for a mission, you where all nice and kind to the criminal
That was until you both were sent on a undercover mission
He saw how quickly you switched from this kind smile to a more sadistic one
his eyes where wide open bro was so confused
after the mission you where more you calm collected as everything around this guy got torn into apart
you had secretly got one of your allies to infiltrate the this guys organization (kinda reminds me of william from mtp)
Kunikida was confused so he just straight up asked you about it
"People always look down on me so why not play to it? It works to catch the criminals and bring justice to this world so why not?"
that was the moment he fell in love with you <3
Now in a relationship he likes how strong you are and how you have a more phycological way to take care of your self
he's kinda annoyed that he fell for it
Tumblr media
fyodor
HE LOVES IT
Like I said in my last post I can picture him with a manipulative person
you both can have dates where you plan missions together
I feel like you have an organization too but all your people know you as what you show them which is this act
When you both met he saw right through you sadly but when every one else was falling for it he was honestly impressed
He was also the first person to see through your little act
He honestly loves watching you manipulate others with this sweet dumb innocent girl act
He honestly thinks all the people that fall for it deserve what they have coming
I do think he would get annoyed if you thought you were better than him but other than that he would be glad that you have this ability to trick people too
You both give little pointers to each other and how you both can improve
He's honestly glad that you don't put up this act with him
he likes knowing the true you <3

Hydro Dragon Hydro Dragon don't cry
Summary: even dragons need hugs
Sfw Neuvillette x Gn! reader
Tumblr media
The feeling of heaviness in his heart like a rock sinking in the deep ocean, there he stood, letting the rain fall upon him as he stared outside the window into the dark cloudy sky, neglecting whatever work was in front of him—letting his thoughts consume him like a dark fog getting lost in his feeling of melancholy. A feeling becoming all too frequent recently, a feeling of emptiness and unfulfillment.
Imagining your smiling face seems to ease but not completely remove the pain. He fights the almost overwhelming urge to see you, you had your own life outside your relationship with him. He'd hate to burden you with his presence. Especially with how busy you and him had gotten lately. He had been seeing you less and less. Neuvillette tries to convince himself that he does not need closeness. He'd rather not be labeled as clingy, no matter how much it hurt to feel your fingers brush against his hand when you try to get his attention.
And fight his urge to want more of that touch.
He was a chief justice, not a lost puppy. Sadly his desire of being left alone was not answered when he heard the door to his office open.
"Neuvillette?"
Your voice made his heart jump inside of him. You had come to see him despite his busy schedule. Whatever small talk you want to do is speak with him about seems to have left your mind when you saw him.
His name falls from your lips. Even from his emotionless face, you could still tell something was wrong.
"Are you okay?"
You ask as you walk up to his desk. Neuvillette tries to answer something to ease your worries, but the words get caught in his throat when he feels your hand against his cheek.
His eyes drift from yours, still not giving you an answer.
It's okay. He didn't have to tell you, but it did look like something was bothering him. You didn't mean to be forward, but he looked like he needed it, so you wrapped your arms around him and pulled his head into your chest.
He doesn't protest, finally receiving that warmth he craved. It was a simple Act of human affection, yet he couldn't help but melt in your arms. As you try to break away from him, he raps an arm around you. He is not ready to let you go. Pulling you closer, you fall into his lap, his arms around your waist and his head leaning into your shoulder
" Stay?" He murmured, his breath tickling your ear.

Hi Gummy😌❤️
since we're talking about kinktober...
Tumblr media
How about Sherlock(Henry version) and semi-public sex (or something like voyeurism?)
I'm imagining Sherlock and reader (friends or lovers) are on a case when they are close to being discovered their true identities when Sherlock suggested that they could "make love" to fool the guards in (let's say) this brothel.
they could be faking it (till the vibe becomes too strong) or they are truly in love so they went at it anyway😋
Feel free to change or add to my lil thot😌❤️
OH GOODIE!! I love getting requests and I love love LOVE this idea!
Kinktober day 1: semi-public (Sherlock Holmes x F reader)
Moan
A/N: I must admit I don't really like voyeurism but I really loved the request so I hope I still did it justice <3
Content Warnings: smut, friends to lovers, "let them hear" trope, banter, giggles, fluff, swearing
Tumblr media
You didn't have any family. The girls at the factory were your sisters, you all knew each other through and through. So when your friend Rosaly went missing, you knew she counted on you to discover the truth.
The entire country knew of Sherlock Holmes and his incredible detective skills. According to the papers, there wasn't a case he couldn't solve. So you scraped together nearly all your savings and traveled across the country to see him. Sadly, when you arrived at his office on a chilly autumn afternoon you were disappointed to find it empty. With nowhere else to go, you decided to wait it out.
Sherlock Holmes had always been quite the gentleman... and a handsome one at that. He arrived at his office somewhere in the afternoon. He wasn't usually this late, but he was stuck on a case and had indulged himself in one too many drinks the night before, leaving his body tired and his head hurting. However, his headache was quickly forgotten when he noticed a shivering young woman on his office's doorstep.
"Excuse me miss, can I help you?" he asked politely.
"O-oh...I'm s-so sorry...I'm...I n-need..." you shivered
Sherlock took off his big, long coat, wrapping it over your shoulders as he helped you up. "Hush now, little one. Let's get you inside first, shall we?"
Once inside he quickly lit a fire and offered you a hot cup of tea while you told him everything. He agreed to take up the case and after enduring a lot of your begging he agreed to let you join him too.
And thus your adventure with Sherlock began. He offered you the sofa in his office to sleep on and you kept the space tidy and clean for him in return. Surprisingly he found you worked quite well together. You were fearless and smart and on top of that, the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.
After nearly two weeks of working together, you were finally close to finding out where Rosaly was, through clues that she had left for you.
The puzzle pieces were finally falling together, all you needed was one more piece of information, and according to your last clue, this was where it was supposed to be.
"A brothel?!" You observed as you looked up at the tall building.
There were pink and red lights flowing through the half-closed windows you didn't dare to stare at for too long.
"This is the only address I can find according to those numbers. It has to be here." Sherlock stated.
You took a deep breath. Time to put on your big girl pants.
"Alright. Let's go then," you said, already starting to marsh forward
"Hold on there, little one." he pulled you back by your hips, "You are not coming in there with me."
"What would you have me do then? Stand out here in the dark all by myself?"
You had a good point.
"Fine, but you will do as I say. Understood?"
You rolled your eyes but agreed anyway, joining him as he made his way through the door.
"I need a room," he stated firmly.
"Mister Holmes! Of course!" The lady greeted him with a smile, "I'm sure you don't need an empty room, right?" She joked, "Shall I send up Elisabeth-"
"That won't be necessary." He interrupted quickly. You were sure he was hoping you hadn't caught that, but unfortunately, there was already a jealous twinge spreading in your stomach.
"I brought my own. Just the room will do," he added and then the lady looked you up and down, making a heat surge up your cheeks.
"Sure thing," she replied, looking through her keys, "Only the best for the country's best detective."
She shot you both a wink as she handed him the key and Sherlock quickly took your hand and led you upstairs.
"Go to the room and lock it. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"What are you gonna do?" you asked, a bit worried
"I'll be right back." He repeated before closing the door behind him.
You did as he asked and locked it before silently taking a seat on the bed.
You looked around the room as you nervously toyed with your fingers. The sheets were soft and fluffy. You couldn't help but wonder which secrets they held. Which forbidden sights they had-
*knock knock knock*
You startled for a second until you heard his voice say "Open up..."
You rushed to the door and quickly let him in, locking it again behind him.
"I know where she is."
"What?" you asked, your brain still foggy for everything that was going on
"Rosaly. I know where she is. I know where to find her. We can be with her first thing tomorrow." he spoke again
"I..." You didn't know what to say, so you just did what felt right. You lunged forward and hugged him, whispering a couple "thank you's" as you wrapped your arms around his neck.
He was about to say something when a loud knock startled you yet again.
"Everything okay in there?" a male voice yelled.
You looked at him in panic. They must have seen him wander around the place.
"Moan." He said
"W-what?"
"Moan," he repeated
"W-wha...like...like we're m-making love?"
"No, little one" he grinned, "like we're fucking."
You didn't have time to think as Sherlock Swirled you around and pushed you against the wall with a loud thud.
"Moan, NOW!" he growled.
"Ah!" you moaned, earning a grunt from him in response.
"Do it again, louder," he whispered.
"OH!" you moaned again, louder, just like he asked.
"There you go," he praised, "good girl." There was a grin plastered on his face that made you blush.
Two can play this game, you thought.
You pushed him backward making him fall on the bed, earning another loud groan from him as you crawled on his lap.
"Oh, Sherlock!" You moaned passionately, as your eyes fell shut and your hands found his chest "OH yes YES." you couldn't help but giggle at your own theatrics, making your body bounce a little.
You weren't paying enough attention to his face to notice that the grin had melted away the second you straddled him.
"Oh yeah right THERE, please!!!" you tried to contain your laughter when suddenly Sherlock flipped the both of you over making you gasp.
"YEAH? Feels that good?" his voice was lower now and you could feel his bulge press right between your thighs.
Suddenly...it wasn't so funny anymore.
"Cat got your tongue?" He whispered, leaning down to kiss your cheek.
"I...I don't...I didn't..."
"Is it me that turned you into a stuttering mess or the fact that you're moaning for an audience?" He teased, pressing kisses down your neck to the swells of your breasts, currently threatening to spill out of your dress as your chest heaved underneath him.
"Sh-Sherlock..." you moaned, in earnest this time.
"Shush Sherlock? Do you wish to silence me, little one?" he grinned devilishly as his hands wandered under your dress, caressing your thighs.
"Oh....please..." you whimpered
"Now now, little one, I know you can be louder than that." he chuckled, fingers toying with your undergarments.
"I n-need..."
"Need what? Huh?" he ripped the fabrics in his way until he finally found what he was looking for. "Ah yes, needy you are indeed, as I have never felt a pussy quite as wet as this one..." he teased
"Come on, little one, tell me what you need."
"you..."
"louder..." he whispered lowly in your ear, teeth grazing the shell of it as he left little nibbles all over.
"you...YOU!"
"That's it!" he groaned as he lowered his pants, teasing your wet opening with the sticky tip of his cock.
"Tell them who's making you feel this good!"
"S-stop..."
"Want me to stop?" he smirked, knowing full well your sentence wasn't finished
'N-no! No, please just...AH FUCK!" you screamed as he entered you bare.
"There you go! Scream like the wanton little harlot you are!"
You didn't know if those words were meant just for you or for the men outside but in the moment you didn't care, as it made you squeeze his hard cock even harder.
"Sherlock! Please...please..." You didn't know what you were begging for, seeing as he was already seethed deep inside you, but somehow begging was all you could.
"Stop teasing..." you managed to get out. He loved how sweet and helpless you looked under him. How you managed to look so kind and innocent while he was balls deep inside you remained a mystery to him. Oh sweetheart..., he thought to himself
"....feels so fucking good..." he groaned, dropping down closer to you as he started to gently pump himself in and out of you.
"O-oh..." you moaned, tangling your fingers in his dark curls.
His hand hadn't left your face, while his other hand went on a mission to find the place where you were currently connected, somewhere between all those layers of fabric.
He tilted his hips, angling them to hit a spot inside you that made your eyes flutter, yet when his fingers finally reached their destination they shot open again.
"SHERLOCK!"
"That's right, princess. Let them know who's fucking you this good!"
He continued to pound into you, but despite his rough words, his actions were surprisingly gentle.
"M'gonna...gonna..." you keened, feeling yourself climb higher and higher.
"What do you need, little one?" he groaned, clearly getting very close to the edge as well.
"Little harder...just a little..." you whined, quietly.
Sherlock obeyed, gently building up his thrusts until he was smacking into your pussy perfectly.
"That's right! Need it harder, huh?" he yelled out loudly again.
"YES YES HARDER" you played along before whispering "Kiss me, please..." Making not only his cock but also his heart swell.
He immediately pressed his lips down onto yours, swallowing your moans while his fingers kept strumming your sensitive pearl.
You came hard around his cock and kept pounding into your clenching pussy perfectly. Your left hand pulled at his hair while your other hand clawed at his back so hard his shirt ripped a little.
Your orgasm triggered his, and he let out a loud groan as he shuttered above you while spilling his hot seed deep inside your womb.
You both lay there, a little out of breath. Sherlock had his head buried in the crook of your neck, where started pressing gentle kisses while you played with his hair and traced invisible lines on his back.
That night you and Sherlock stumbled down the stairs of that brothel equally rosy-cheeked. You in your ripped-up dress, he in his torn shirt. You walked out hand in hand, two dozen pairs of eyes burning holes in the back of your skulls, but neither of you cared, for the passion glowing hot in your chests would outburn them all.
A/N: IM SORRY IF THIS WAS SHIT IM ON MY PERIOD AND IM JUST A BIG SAP IM SORRY I APOLOGIZE IM JUST A GIRL YOUR HONOR.

Say You'll Remember Me
Tumblr media
Alec Hardy x Fem!Reader
Summary: You thought you were free of Alec Hardy, but it seemed Alec had other ideas.
Soundtrack: Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift
Requests: Open!
Warnings: Criminal Activity. Mentions of past assault. Mentions of drugs and their use. Allusions to sex. Brief depiction of assault.
The last thing -- well, person -- you expected to see when you walked into Hightown's pharmacy come Monday morning was DI Alec Hardy. Yet, there he stood, leaned against a wall, reading a paper he no doubt bought from the Village Store, looking casual as could be.
There was no doubt in your mind that he was waiting for you -- his looking up when you walked in and his immediate surge into motion only proved the theory. You needed past him, but with him coming at you the only thing you could think to do was flee.
As you turned and went right back out the door, you heard him call your name, but you didn't dare stop.
He was a persistent fucker, though, and he followed you all the way to your cottage.
"Go away, Alec," you called over your shoulder as you fought with your keys.
"I just need to talk to you," he said, in that stupid fucking accent that made you melt. "Please. I'll be quick."
"No. No, no, no! I won't -- I can't do this again."
You finally slotted your key into the lock and rushed into your home. The door all but slammed behind you, and you quickly locked it back up before Alec could even consider forcing his way inside.
He tried rapping lightly on the window, calling your name gently -- sadly, you dared to think. But you ignored him, stepping away and wiping at your eyes.
It was an hour before the cottage fell fully silent, and another hour before you dared look outside.
You were grateful to see he'd gone.
You knew he wouldn't drop it -- whatever it was, whatever had brought him to you. You felt like you were walking on eggshells wherever you went -- in your own home, even -- waiting for the moment he confronted you again.
It happened the next day -- and, honestly, it was your fault. You'd allowed yourself to get into a position where you could be cornered. Trapped.
The way he approached you was careful. You supposed you hadn't done much to convince him it was unnecessary -- the way you were side-eyeing him was not unlike a frightened animal.
"Leave me alone, Alec," you begged him, looking around for an escape route. The only one was blocked, by him.
"I can't do that, darlin'," he told you sadly, his hands held out placatingly. "I need to talk to you."
"Yeah, you said that before. I still -- I can't talk to you."
"You can. I ken ye don't want to, and I ken it'll be hard, but I really need ye to, darlin'. Please."
You shook your head, wiping tears from your eyes. "You don't understand. I can't."
"Help me understand," he pleaded gently, taking a step toward you.
You stepped back, bumping against a shelf of snacks and almost knocking it over.
"I can help you," he tried, and you could hear in his voice how desperate he was. "Let me take ye back to Broadchurch with me."
"I -- I'm not going anywhere with you," you whimpered. "Please just leave me alone."
You tried to shove past him, but he caught you, his arm wrapping around your waist and keeping you from running. "Darlin', please. I need ye to cooperate with me."
"No -- no! Get off me!"
He realized quickly that your protests were drawing attention, but he still didn't let you go. "We can go quietly," he whispered in your ear, "or I can arrest ye."
"For what?" you asked, though your struggling had already ceased.
"Pervertin' the course of justice."
You whimpered, going limp in his arms. "F-fine," you said, choking back a sob. "But -- but, please, let's go to my cottage. I want to be -- it's comfortable there..."
He nodded, his arm snaking along your waist until it was no longer holding you. Delicately, you stepped through the shop until you exited, closely followed by Alec. He followed you all the way to your cottage, he followed you inside, and he followed you as you entered the kitchen and set about making tea for him and yourself.
"You've done well here," he commented as he looked around while you were busy. "It suits you."
"Why are you here, Alec?"
"Y'ken, I could just want to see ye."
"You do not just want to see me," you said, looking up to meet his eyes for a moment. "So why did you track me all the way to Liverpool? Not to mention all the places I lived before that you would've had to check."
"We think the man who attacked you is back."
You nearly dropped the mug you were holding. You clumsily set it back on the counter, hands suddenly unsteady and unable to keep a solid grip on it.
"We found a woman matching your profile -- dead. We're not sure it he thought she was you or if he just has a type... but we're almost certain it's him."
You swallowed thickly, sinking to the floor with a pitiful moan.
"I'm sorry," Alec said softly, coming to hover near you, his hand squeezing your shoulder. "I ken I said I wouldn't look for ye, I said a lot of things that I have to go back on now."
"Why?"
"Because at the time, I thought that when you left town, that'd be the end of things. He didn't follow you, and there were no more attacks. I had no reason to think I'd ever see ye again -- that I'd need to see ye again."
You leaned against your cabinets and pulled your knees up to your chest. Alec's hand stayed comfortingly on your shoulder even as you tried to shrug him off.
"Why would this require me to come back?"
"You saw him."
You dropped your head onto your knees with a broken sob. "I don't want to be your fucking star witness!" you wailed.
"I ken," he soothed, his hand rubbing your shoulder. "I ken. I don't want ye to be involved either -- but we need ye, darlin'."
You shook your head. "I won't. I can't."
"Why not, darlin'?"
You shook your head. "No -- I can't -- Alec, I can't."
"Then I've no choice but to arrest ye, darlin'."
Another terrified moan escaped you. "Please -- don't take me back -- I can't go back --"
He looked regretful as he pulled you up and circled your wrists with a pair of cuffs.
The drive to Broadchurch was a long one.
Nearly five hours long, to be exact.
You spent the majority of the time crying or staring out the window. Alec was kind enough to have stocked up on your favorite snacks and drinks before trapping you in the car. He was also kind enough to give you full control of the radio -- at first, you'd opted for silence. But eventually, you got to a point where you couldn't stand it anymore, and you turned it on and found a pop station. Just to fill the silence.
"D'ye need a restroom?" he asked every so often, to which you always replied with a no.
And so it went, for five hours.
You were ready to sleep for a million years by the time he pulled up to the Broadchurch police station. He escorted you in and sat you in one of the chairs in the lobby before giving you strict instructions not to move while he went and fetched his partner.
Of course, you never had been one to listen to him.
The moment he was out of sight, you made a run for the exit, dashed down the steps leading into the town, and fled into the night. You could hear him calling for you, thought that you could even hear the pounding of feet some distance behind you, but you didn't dare stop.
At least, not until you reached his house. Well, your house. Sort of. It had been, at one time. But now it was his. You knew it was his, were kind of counting on it. You figured that he'd figure that his house would be the last place you'd run off to.
You also figured that he'd probably have spare cuff keys somewhere in there.
It was a little surprising to find a cop's back door unlocked, but you were willing to accept it as coincidence.
What was almost certainly not coincidence, however, was finding Alec Hardy himself standing in the entry room, holding up a key to your cuffs.
"I have a car," he said.
Okay, that was on you.
"Alec, please," you begged, already moving back towards the door.
"Please don't make me add breakin' an' enterin' onto your charges, darlin'."
"The door was unlocked."
"Ye weren't invited in."
"Invite me in, then."
"No."
You huffed in frustration, turning towards the door. You could still flee, if you really wanted, but where would you go? Anywhere you could think of, he'd just find you eventually.
"If you undo the cuffs, I'll go willingly."
"Promise?" he asked as he stepped nearer.
"Have I ever lied to you?"
He shook his head and released you.
Instantly, you shoved him off and made a mad dash for the door.
You may not have ever lied to him before, but there was always a first time for everything. Though, you realized sadly, now he definitely would never trust you again. You came to a halt, burying your face in your hands as you sank to the ground with a sob.
Alec joined you after a moment, crouching next to you. As ever, he placed a comforting hand on your shoulder and gave it a squeeze.
"I'm gonna pretend ye didn't do that," he said softly.
"Thanks," you whimpered.
"Darlin', I know you're scared," he sighed, "but ye gotta do this."
"I don't," you insisted, shrugging his hand off. "You could just let me go back to Hightown, let me go back to pretending nothing ever happened."
"And how was that goin' for ye?" he asked pointedly.
You bit your lip, looking away.
"How were all those pills goin' for ye? All that stress? The depression? You can't tell me you've been okay all this time."
No, you hadn't been okay. You'd been living a half-life, one foot in the real world and one in a nightmare. No matter what you did -- be it yoga or heroin, nothing ever really helped.
"Please help us put the sick fuck away," Alec begged quietly, trying to look into your eyes. "Maybe then you'll be able to rest. Maybe then you'll start to be okay."
You looked up, meeting his gaze, his soft and earnest and yours terrified and full of tears. "Alec, I can't."
"Ye keep sayin' that, but ye've yet to give me a reason."
"It's... complicated."
"Darlin', a woman is dead 'cause she looked like you. It seems pretty simple to me."
"I know it does," you said, and you couldn't mask the anger in your voice even if you wanted to. "Of course it's simple to you. You're not the one who had to go through the hell that I did, you're not the one whose life was threatened --"
"What?"
Fuck.
"Did he threaten ye?" Alec asked, his voice suddenly... concerningly cold.
"Y-yes," you whimpered, looking away from him. "H-he said he'd kill me, if... if I involved the police."
"That's why ye never pressed charges," he sighed with realization. "Why ye ran... why ye keep runnin'."
"I'm trying, anyway."
"Ye gotta know I'll protect you, right?" he asked.
You shrugged. "I know you'll try. But you can't be with me all the time."
"Then someone else will be."
"I don't want to spend every waking moment under surveillance, Alec! I just -- I want everything to go back to normal. I was trying so hard to live my life the way I was before. I was so close and now I've been dragged back into this fucking mess because some random woman I don't know is dead."
"Darlin'," Alec sighed, and then his hand was on you, tilting your head so that you were facing him. "Could ye really live with yourself if another person died and you could've stopped it?"
You desperately wanted to say yes.
"... No," you said instead.
"So help me."
You desperately wanted to say no.
"... Fine," you said instead.
Any charges Alec had against you were apparently dropped after that, though you weren't fully convinced there were any to begin with, which left you wondering if you could go to the police and have him charged with kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Not that you would, but the idea amused you.
Once Alec was sure you weren't going to run off, he allowed you free reign of Broadchurch. He provided you a phone, a key to his place, and some tenners so that you could feed yourself and buy anything else you needed.
All your instincts still told you to run, but you were mostly able to quell them. Alec helped, both with empty threats and actual reassurances. But ultimately, he'd had a point. You weren't going to let someone else die just because you were afraid.
You'd been there a few nights when Alec came home from work and made a beeline for you, looking... hectic.
"I think we've got a lead."
You perked up, but then tilted your head in confusion. "Why do you look so riled up?" you asked.
"I --" He took a deep breath, making a concerted effort to look calmer on your behalf. "I just... needed to tell ye. And make sure you're okay."
"Thanks?" you said with a nervous chuckle. "I'm fine. Just... enjoying my dinner."
He glanced down at your meal -- just some basic fish and chips -- and smiled. "Like old times, eh?"
You blushed and forced a shrug. "I guess."
"I missed this," he sighed, approaching you and coming to sit on the sofa beside you. His shoulder bumped yours gently as he moved to snatch a chip from your takeout tray.
"Hey!" you whined, swatting him.
He laughed even as he popped the chip into his mouth. You couldn't help but giggle in return.
"You owe me," you told him.
"Will a kiss do?" he asked.
You froze. "Alec, I -- I'm not that woman anymore," you said with a sigh, looking away. "That woman... she's been gone a long time."
"I know," he replied, his voice just as cheerful as before. "Maybe I wanna get to ken the new you."
You blinked and looked up at him. "With a kiss?"
"Well, I've never kissed the new you."
You rolled your eyes, but buried your hands in his lapels and pulled him into a kiss all the same. A deep and passionate one. One that did an excellent job, if you did say so yourself, of conveying how much you missed this, too.
When you pulled back, both of you were breathless. You were thinking how deep the shit you were in was, but by the look on his face, you guessed Alec was thinking more about how this new you was just as great a kisser as the old you.
Typical, you thought.
Even so, your dinner was left forgotten on the coffee table as Alec eventually pulled you into his arms and led you back to the bedroom.
Despite Alec's lead, he wasn't that much closer to solving the case.
You were getting rather antsy.
What Alec failed to realize was that you had made a life for yourself in Hightown. Yes, in some respects, it was little more than a half-life. But it was still something -- more than you'd had in Broadchurch in the last few months you'd been able to stand living there, at the very least.
You couldn't stand how much you missed it.
Which is what inspired you to do something that was probably exceptionally stupid.
You remembered where your dealer had operated back when you still lived in Broadchurch -- which was something you hadn't been able to say prior to the attack. After, however, you just wanted to forget anything had ever happened, and, well, illicit drugs were pretty great for that.
You scaled the fence and made your way into the dilapidated building, keeping a watchful eye out for cops.
There weren't any, so you continued deeper into the building, until you reached the stairs leading down to the boiler room.
On one hand, you had the presence of mind to think that maybe you were about to walk into a horror movie -- but on the other, you needed something to take the edge off.
You were about to climb down when suddenly you felt a hand wrap around your wrist.
And you screamed.
"Jesus, ye've got some lungs," Alec groused beside you.
"You!" you yelped, yanking out of his grip. "The hell are you doing here, Alec?"
"I could ask ye the same thing!" he barked back, motioning around. "This place is -- are ye asking to be murdered?"
"No, I'm asking for heroin," you replied, deadpan.
"I'm gonna pretend ye didn't say that," he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "C'mon, we're leavin'."
"I'm not going anywhere, actually."
"I swear to God," he hissed, grabbing your wrist again and pulling you towards him.
"Hey," you whimpered as pain shot down your arm. "You're hurting me. Alec --"
You were cut off by two beams of light entering your field of vision. Desperately, you tried pulling out of Alec's grasp, but his hand was locked around you tightly.
"Alec -- Alec, let me go -- Alec --"
He stood there as the lights got closer, and soon there were two cops standing in front of you.
They asked questions, none of which you could answer without incriminating yourself; unfortunately, not answering them incriminated you too.
You were under arrest -- that much was indisputable.
The cops turned their attention to Alec, who definitely talked like a cop and carried himself like a cop, and yet, in the end, had forgotten his badge.
It was very lucky for you specifically that these two were rookie beat cops who had no idea who their DI was, because it meant that Alec got arrested too.
The two of you were cuffed together and escorted to the cops' car, and you smiled the whole way.
"Do you know how embarrassing it is for you," Alec's partner was saying as Alec was let out of the cell, "that I had to come bust you out?"
Alec was grumbling under his breath.
Ellie's attention turned to you.
"And who's this?" she asked.
Alec turned to look at you, too. "She's..." Ellie gave him a prompting look and he sighed. "She's the witness."
"Oh... and why's she in the cell?"
"She was trying to buy drugs!"
You piped up, "I never confirmed that to the arresting officer."
"What else could you have possibly been doin' there?"
"We haven't talked in years, Alec, maybe I took up exploring abandoned buildings."
"Which is also illegal."
"Wait, is it?" you asked, sitting up and blinking rapidly.
"Yes," he groaned, rubbing his temples.
"Should I let her out?" Ellie asked, throwing you a curious look.
"No," he responded. "Let her stay the night. Maybe then she'll learn to behave."
"I'm not a dog," you growled.
"Yeah, well, maybe you'll convince me when ye stop actin' like a feral mutt."
With that, he and Ellie walked away, leaving you alone.
You awoke in the night to the sound of your cell being opened. Blinking blearily, you yawned and stretched. Moving to a stand, you whimpered tiredly, "I knew you'd come back --"
Whoever was approaching you quickly in the dark was definitely not Alec. You knew that even before he kicked you into the wall.
You yelped as your head hit the bricks, but you didn't have enough time to really process as a hand grabbed you by the throat and threw you to the ground.
"Stop --" you wheezed, but the hand returning to your throat cut off anything else you were about to say.
Powerful legs straddled you, keeping you pinned and unable to kick him off.
You weren't weak, by any means, but you weren't sure you had enough strength in your arms to fight him off. Still, you had to try. Hands scrabbled at his hands and arms, nails digging in and trying to do as much damage as you could -- certainly trying to get him to lose his grip.
Darkness was closing in on the edges of your vision, prompting you to fight harder, more desperately, anything to get you out from under the weight of your would-be murderer.
Finally -- something worked. You weren't sure if it was your nails digging into his elbows or maybe the punch you landed to what felt like his ear -- ultimately, it didn't matter. You had an opening and you took it, clawing your way out from under him and making a mad dash out of the cell.
Later, you realized you should've closed the door and taken the key, but at the time you just wanted to get far, far away.
And that's what you did, legs not stopping until you reached Alec's house. Then, the adrenaline drained and you collapsed. Your sobs woke him up.
"So he's one of ours," Ellie concluded, after Alec made you tell her what had happened.
Alec nodded, then turned to you. "If ye saw him, would ye be able to tell us?"
You shrugged, rubbing at your still tender throat. "Maybe. It's been a few years, and I didn't see him last night when he attacked me in the cell, so I didn't get a refresher or anything."
"That's still better than nothing," Alec said reassuringly.
Ellie nodded in agreement. "I'll arrange something at the office," she said, getting up and saying her goodbyes quickly.
Once she was gone, Alec came to sit down beside you and pulled you close to him, pressing a soft kiss to the top of your head. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left ye alone."
"You couldn't have known."
"No, but ye shouldn't have been alone anyway."
You shrugged, but didn't pull away from his embrace.
It was later that day that you and Alec were called to the office, under the pretense of filling out release forms for you.
Alec's hand never left your waist as he ushered you through and to Ellie's desk, where you were given a seat and a cup of cold water.
"Take your time," Ellie said, her eyes darting around. "We need you to be sure."
You nodded and began mindlessly filling out whatever forms they put in front of you -- you noticed it wasn't even a release form. The first one was to claim an impounded car. And then Ellie slipped you an animal license form.
You filled them out, anyway, as it was something to do while you were also trying to pinpoint a murderer.
You'd been there for a few hours when you finally saw him.
It had been a few years, but it was surprising just how sharp the image of your attacker became when confronted with his presence. You were struck with panic, but you forced yourself to write on your property inheritance claim form so that Ellie could see -- big guy, 3 oclock, brown hair green eyes, about 6ft tall.
She took the form and gave you a curt nod. "That'll be all we need from you," she said with a smile. "Stay out of trouble now."
Alec wandered over then, saw the note you'd written, and immediately moved to confront the officer.
Arresting him was a bit of an affair, but in the end he relented and, in the interrogation room, confessed.
Alec had been right.
You felt a freedom you hadn't before, once your attacker was thrown behind bars.
You stood outside the police station, leaning against a rail, wind whipping your hair about wildly, the sun setting painting the sky and ocean in brilliant pinks and oranges. It was the most serene you'd felt in years.
"Will you stay?" Alec's voice sounded from behind you. A moment later, he joined you, leaning against the railing beside you.
"No," you answered, looking out over the ocean.
"I'd like you to," he said sadly. "I've missed you... so much. And now that your attacker is in jail --"
"My life isn't here anymore, Alec. It hasn't been for years."
"It could be, though, couldn't it?"
"No," you answered sadly, but honestly. "It can't. I don't want my life to be here."
He turned to face you, and you did the same with a sigh.
"Please, darlin'."
You cupped his face with a hand, then guided him down so that you could kiss him gently. You could tell as you pulled away that he didn't want to part from you.
"I'll always love you," you told him. "And I'll always be grateful that we put that bastard away. But I... I've moved on. You need to too."
He didn't answer you -- well, not verbally. The desperate kiss he pulled you into was answer enough, though.
I don't want to move on.
"Goodbye, Alec."
With that, you walked away, and you didn't look back.

7 minutes in hell, or is it heaven? Part 7 💋
-Made For Me-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: SMUT we finally got SMUT!!!, fluff, and a lot of angst. Billy is an extremely soft boyfriend to y/n that it hurts my soul.
A/N: this is a long chapter also Yes, I had a heart attack with writing the smut wish I had that shit.
i hope i did it justice, i'm a pro at reading smut but not a pro writing it lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*y/n pov*
During the drive back, I could feel his eyes on my entire time.
"Do you need something." I ask, amused.
"Don't mind me, princess, just admiring your gorgeous face." He tenderly says.
"Since when did Billy Hargrove turn into a sap?" I teased.
Chuckling "since you punched me." He lightly says.
Shaking my head, " I love you, you idiot." I grinned.
"I love you too, nerd," he matches my grin
Thankfully, the parents were on a business trip because a semi drunk billy was a loud billy.
"Baby hush, we don't want to wake up the whole damn neighborhood." I whisper, he hollers as put my hand over his mouth. Of course, he licks it. Rolling my eyes as I get him to the front door. Getting up the stairs into my room where I discover that he would turn into a brat. Getting him to take a shower was a bitch because all he wanted to do was fall asleep at the desk chair.
"Quit being a brat and go shower. You smell like a distillery." I giggled.
"No." Is all I got.
"Well then, no kisses or cuddles for you on this comfy bed." I point to my unmade bed from racing out of it earlier.
"Fine whatever women, only because I like you." He reluctantly got up, giving me a peck on the lips.
"Nah, it's because you love me." I say teasingly.
"I'm starting to regret using those words." He laughs
Sticking my tongue out, he laughs harder as he exits the bedroom.
Hearing the water rushing through the pipes, I got up to get spare clothes from my brothers old room. I wish Mikey was still here, but nothing lasts forever. Right?
My brother died a year before Billy showed up. We got separated, and I finally discovered he was actually killed by a demogorgon at the school trying to protect the kids. That's what El told me. I just don't want Billy to find out that he moved to a "cursed" town, not yet anyway. Maybe that's me being selfish now because he would leave.
The government prohibited us from talking about certain events anyway. It's been hard not telling him the truth. Christ, his step sister knows now of the upside-down. I just hope he doesn't fall to the same Fate like my brother or meet something worse than a demogorgon.
I hear the water stop , and the bathroom door opens, revealing Billy, the towel hanging dangerously off his hip, water droplets falling down his California sun-kissed chest to his navel. Gulping, I look up into his eyes.
"Like what you see, baby?" He smirks.
"Yes I do but I'm exhausted and would like to go back to see because someone had to ruin my beauty sleep." I lazily say with a hint of crankyness
"Here," giving him the clothes. "There are my brothers. They should fit."
"I didn't know you have a brother." He says.
"Had a brother, I try not to talk about him." I sadly say as I walk back to my room. Ignoring his eyes that held so many questions. "Come on, handsome, let's sleep for a bit." I held a hand out.
*TIME SKIP SUNDAY MORNING*
*smut incoming*
After breakfast, we sat on the couch watching Gremlins. I couldn't help the notice how close his body was to my own. The space between us felt heavy, my eyes full of unspoken desire to be consumed by him. His thigh rested near my own, I want nothing more than run my hands along his thigh. To feel his warmth underneath my fingertips, to just feel him. I clenched my hands, "You're aloud to touch me, baby girl." He notices me hesitating. Of course, he noticed I didn't want him to. I was supposed to be watching the movie, but my mind could only think about him. Turning his head full towards me, he gently places his right hand on my left hand and spoke in a husky voice. "Is everything okay, baby?" I looked into his eyes for a few seconds and smiled.
"Yes, just thinking about someone. That's all." He tilts his head.
"Who are you thinking about?" He's asks. I whisper a singular word.
"You"
He holds my gaze, I see more details about him that I never noticed, Noticing the way his soft lips were slightly damp from sweeping his tongue over them. Desire was sizzling through the air. A desire of wanting to taste him in many ways, a desire to kiss those lips and run my fingers through his blonde hair. He leans towards me, maintaining eye contact. I inhale his intoxicating scent as his lips hover over in front of my own, we are only inches apart, our lips touch, which makes my body starts to tremble. previous kisses couldn't compare to the fiery sparks i felt whenever i kissed him. I can't control the tension anymore.
I press my lips harder to his. He immediately kissed back with the same force, we become desperate and feverish, our lips moving faster. Our bodies are melting into one. I can feel every inch of him, but I need more.
His hands wonder to my hips as mine threads through his hair, pulling him closer. I exhale through the kiss as it slows down, savoring every bit of his sweet taste. He drags me on top of him, making me straddle his hips with my thick thighs. My clothed crotch presses against his own. With this, I can feel he's becoming hard, which makes me shiver as I start grinding against him, he growls.
"God, you are so beautiful. Like this, trembling to my touch. " He groans.
Billy pushes me onto my back. The couch cushions feel like clouds as His body came down with me. He grinds his pelvis into mine slowly. His kisses become dominant. I pull my head away, breathing heavy. " This is my first time." I mumbled has He buries his face into my neck. He stills and looks into my eyes. "Are you sure you want me to continue?" He asks with concern.
"Y-yes, please, I don't want it any other way." giving him a breathy response.
Grinning "as you wish princess." He resumed kissing my neck, trailing down to my collarbone.
"Tell me what you want, moan it to me, baby girl." He says while taking the hem of my sleep shirt and pulling it over my head. He scans my bare chest and my tummy with desire. I shyly covered myself. "I'm sorry for being chubby," I say with sadness.
"Beautiful, your body is perfect. You were made for me." Removing my hands and drops down kiss my curves.
gripping the hem of his shirt, pulling it off him, admiring his half-naked body. "I-i want you all of you." I shyly say as i pull him down to kiss his lips. I nibble his lower lip, gently pulling on it, which ejects a moan from him. His moans make me want to melt into a puddle. He sits up between my legs and takes my sleep shorts, leaving me in pink laced underwear.
His eyes look at me with desperation. He plays with the elastic of my underwear. Using my feet struggled to slide off his sweat pants, billy takes them off completely, I see his cock bulging through his boxers. I make eye contact with him and say, whimpering, "I love you." He smirks and removes his boxers, his cock sticks out almost straight, he's already fully hard. Jesus, he's big.
He teases me by kissing the inside of my thighs, trailing down to my core. "So wet for me baby" He dives in with no mercy, gasping my hands immediately when to his hair, his lips kissing and sucking my clit as a finger enters me, I start to loudly whimper and grind myself on his tongue and fingers. With a loud pop he pulls away from my weeping pussy. "You taste as delicious as i thought."
His kisses trail up my stomach, to my chest to finally stop at my mouth. He mumbles, " I love you so much," into my mouth. Weaving my fingers into his hair. Tugging the strands slightly, he gave me a guttural growl.
“Are you sure you want this?, use the word mustard if it's too much” he says.
Giggling “Stop teasing me. And fuck me already” I bite back playfully.
"yes, ma'am", He strokes his cock with a few pumps making it harder. He pulling off my underwear, slowly enters my pussy. Gripping his arm tightly as he bottomed out into me. My eyes screwed shut. When they said it hurt they weren't lying.
“You okay baby?, do you want me to stop?, just say the world i will stop, i don't want to hurt you precious” he quickly says.
“No, no, I'm fine, just move already.” I gritted my teeth. 
His strong hands grab my thighs to spread my legs., his cock stretching me. He continues at a slow pace, moans of pleasure emits from both of us, My body started to become more desperate and I thrust myself up causing his cock to enter me more. This executes a long, low growl from him. He pushes my thighs back down firmly, but not enough to cause pain. Billy holds himself inside me for a few seconds before pulling out almost all the way. He then slams his cock inside of me and back out again. I clench the cushions with my hands, gasping his name. This fuels him to go faster and harder. I close my eyes and bite my lower lip holding back from moaning more.
“I wanna hear you scream, princess.” His pace gets faster. the sound of skin on skin echo through the empty house.
Billy pulls out. “Sit up” he demands while he sits on the couch. I follow his command, his hands grasp my waist, and he pulls me on top of him.
“Me on top? I don't wanna squish you,” I say
“Just shut up and fuck me, nerd.” he snarls. This sends a shiver down my spine. mounting his stiff cock and starting bouncing on him. I lean over him slightly and place my hands on his body. I begin to move my body quicker now, feeling his cock enter and exit me repetitively. He thrusts his cock inside of me at the same time in a fast motion, my body feels like it’s going to explode. My tits bounce with the fast motion “You’re such a good girl,” he moans.
“I’m your good girl,” I say back, one of his hand go to my waist, the other holding both wrists behind my back as he trusts harder. My pussy tingles with delight and my legs shake slightly “Oh god, I’m going to cum” I exclaim.  
"Mine." he growls in my ear.
"yours" i gasp as hold on to him.
His moans send electricity down my spine as i clamped down around him. I put my face in the crook of his neck and suck, his moans persist more, this time loud and faster. his body filled with the need for release. My moans turn into screams, not caring if anyone overhears. “Please Don’t Stop” I manage to demand through a scream. My body feels hot and ready to cum again. Billy's eyes squint and his head throws back. I feel like my body is going to explode with delight. It feels too good, I let myself go and become overwhelmed. I gave out one final scream as my body felt like it was lit on fire with sparks flying everywhere, Billy dismounts me from him as he came onto his stomach, I whimper from already missing him being inside of me. 
“Is it always like this?,” heaving breathing while I collapse on top of him.
“No this was something different.” regaining his breath, feeling it too. Circling his arms around me. 
“What was it then?” i questioned 
“I never experienced it, but I think that's what making love feels like” he grins.
Grinning back at him, I kiss him. “I could get used to this” I thought.
“Can we keep our relationship a secret for a few days? I don't want to hear the drama just yet." I asked.
“Sure thing, sweetheart, I understand.” he says with a small smile.
He glances at the clock “ shit, I have to go, my father is going to kill me.”

You Don't Separate a Giant and Their Treasure
Tumblr media
So as we all know, our dear Aether had to stay and do the ministry’s taxes. But what we didn’t know is he is mated to Mountain and Swiss. Another thing to note is that: Earth ghouls are quite territorial and incredibly possessive over their mates, and on top of all that, poor Mountain has separation anxiety due to his former pack being ripped away from him and just his normal attachment style.
So poor Mountain is forced to be away from his mate for months. Not coming back for nearly 7 months, of course, Aether had come to visit in brief intervals when he was able to and stayed for a few days here and there while Ghost was on the road because otherwise Mountain would’ve destroyed (another) tour bus with his pacing and anxious chewing but it wasn’t near enough for the Giant
Poor Swiss had to keep their mate as calm as possible when he’d cry during anxiety attacks over being separated from Aether and almost destroying Swiss during sex from his frustration and anxiety. FaceTiming and calling didn’t help much either. But as soon as they're back…Seestor is gonna learn just why you don’t separate an Earth giant and his mate
So I came up with this while I'm forced to participate in a work readiness class for job training. I hope you guys enjoy it, if you'd like a part 2 with the smut section feel free to ask! I just didn't feel I could do it justice just yet
-Love Whiskey
After so many months of touring, Ghost was finally returning home to the abbey. All of the ghouls were excited to get home, but no one was more excited than their drummer. Practically bouncing off the walls of the tour bus, Swiss had to get a right hand on his mate’s waist and tug him into his lap, distracting him with a kiss, to get him to sit still when Copia had given him a pleading look. “Easy Sunflower, we’ll see our Starlight soon, and we all know you’re excited. But Pops needs you to sit down, he doesn’t want you to get hurt from this shitty ass driveway and its potholes. Can you be a good boy and sit with me for these last few minutes, please?” Swiss coos, petting his mate’s hair.
Mountain whines pathetically but stays still, accepting Swiss’ kisses and snuggling into his neck. “Miss him…” he mumbles sadly, tail wrapping tightly around Swiss’ calf. Dewdrop and Rain look at each other knowingly, Phantom looking confused, “Is he talking about Aether?” he whispers to Cirrus. She nods, “Mountain and Swiss are his mates, Mountain doesn’t handle being away from either of them well, so this tour has been hard on him” she explains, “That’s why he came to visit sometimes, did you not notice just how clingy Mount was with him those days…and how Copia made sure we were all placed far away from their room?” Cumulus adds, giggling
Before long, they’re pulling into the abbey loading dock. The moment the bus is parked, Mountain is off like a rocket, bounding down the stairs and taking off through the crowd, darting around siblings and crew members alike. The other ghouls just shake their heads and laugh, Swiss giving him a head start before following, “Do make sure he doesn’t break our poor Aether!” Copia calls after him, a smile in his voice. Turning and giving a mock salute, Swiss takes off after his mate.
The Earth ghoul is running around the abbey, desperately to catch his mate’s scent, that identifiable mix of Bourbon, Lavender, and Ozone. He runs all the way from the loading dock to the library, down to the infirmary before he catches even a whiff. His head shoots up when he catches a sliver of lavender coming from the hallway leading down to their den, ‘I’m a fucking idiot’ he thinks to himself before shooting down the stairs.
Mountain follows the scent until he comes to a stop in front of his room, the scent is strongest here, slowly opening the door, he finds what he was looking for. Aether is sprawled in his bed, asleep on his stomach with his face buried in one of Mountain’s hoodies while snuggling Swiss’ pillow.
Butterflies erupt in the ghoul’s stomach as he creeps forward, not wanting to disturb his mate’s slumber. Ever so slowly and carefully, he slips into the bed behind Aether, wrapping his arms tightly around his waist as he drags him close and buries his face in his neck. Mountain’s breath is shaky as he takes that first inhale of his mate straight from the source
The smaller ghoul whines as he’s moved, stretching slightly as he tries to squirm to get comfortable. But after a moment, mauve eyes blink open at the scent of Evergreen, Warm Freshly tilled Soil, Morning Dew, Daphne & Winter Beauty flowers. Turning slightly, he spots the familiar mop of brown waves before there’s a soft whine. Aether’s stomach clenches as he fully turns over, “Hi Clover, did you just get back?” he asks softly, adjusting so Mountain can stay where he is. The drummer nods, “Wanted to see you…missed you so much” he mumbles, now trailing kisses along the skin in front of him until he finds his mark, gently nibbling the scar, having noticed just how bare Aether’s skin is which is something he has to change, now.
Aether sighs, running his fingers through the soft hair, “Missed you too, been too long.. Oh fuck…” he trails off as that hot mouth latches to the sensitive skin under his ear. Claws digging into plush hips, Mountain bullies Aether onto his back so he can hover over him protectively as he begins to mark the soft skin. His possessiveness rears its ugly head as he smells some random siblings scents on his mate, he knows it's probably from the infirmary but someone touched HIS Aether
The Quintessence ghoul can do nothing but let his mate mark him however he wants, not that he’d ever stop him, his only complaint is just how..intense Mountain gets. His entire throat will be completely covered in bruises, bitemarks, and hickeys by the time the giant is satisfied. “Fuck baby, you..you couldn’t wait even a few, mmmm, minutes, gotta make sure to remark what’s yours? Oh!” Mountain’s only response is to sink his fangs into the crook of his neck, growling deep in his throat. “Mine…My mate, my starlight, my treasure” he hisses in his ear
Swiss finally catch up after a few minutes, following the thumping sounds and loud moans. Sneakily peeking inside Mountain’s room, he sees Mount with a kneeling Aether who he has pinned to the headboard, fingers buried and pumping into the already sloppy-sounding hole, mouth latched to his throat, and oh…he has Aether’s face pressed right next to the vent that connects his room to rest of the abbey, specifically Sister Imperator's. This is how Mountain shows her why you don’t separate a ghoul from their mate

i took a deep breath in attempt to console myself, work had been absolutely horrendous today, from my co-workers constantly pestering me, to just simplistic things. i attempted to calm myself down, i wouldn't want to let my mood affect evan or our son, so i sat in my car bracing myself.
i finally shook it off deciding i was prepared, i knew just seeing the both of them would fill my heart and help dissipate any stress i currently felt.
i sighed slightly opening the door, before i heard a pair of footsteps bolt to the door, i opened the door to mine and evan's child and evan quickly following behind them, 'wow you're home earlier than we expected, i know this is irritating but just wait one second, we're um..yeah,' he laughed apprehensively, rubbing the back of his neck nervously attempting to come up with an excuse.' yeah, a boys chat!'
i laughed slightly, feeling at ease just by the sight of the two people i loved and cherished the most, 'it's fine i'll wait, don't worry.'
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
evan rushed around trying to get together everything that him and his little boy had prepared for your arrival home. evan had figured you may have struggled today, he could sense there was something was off this morning, so he was certain that he had to have a few surprises to try and cheer you up even in the slightest.
your son had created you a drawing, a picture that depicted you, him and evan all together happy as can be, not to mention this masterpiece was drowning in glitter glue and sparkles. he had done this all on his own behalf after evan mentioned 'you must be extra well-behaved tonight because mommy is a little stressed.'
evan also took the initiative after detecting that today may not have been the best for you, which he was excited to reveal to you, to see if he could get a glance of happiness and try and to relieve the stress of the day.
.·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·..·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·.
i remained in the hallway as the pair got up to who knows what, until evan returned, our son settled on his hip 'ok, you can come in now,' he chuckled.
evan guided me into the living room, the boys both shouted 'surprise!'
and was i suprised, on the coffee table, evan had created a hamper containing all of my favourite things ranging from my favourite snacks to hair and face masks, alongside copies of books from my favourite author which i was dying to read. i felt so emotional, which was only amped up by seeing the drawing our son had created. tears began to well in my eyes, i was so grateful for the fact they cared so much about me.
evan rushed over to me engulfing me in a tight embrace, 'shh, shh it's okay i've got you,' i wept softly overwhelmed by the stress of the day, but ,mainly overjoyed at the sweet, significant surprise i arrived home to, 'i hope you like it, this morning you seemed distant so i suspected it was one of those days,' he rubbed my back comfortingly, placing a gentle kiss on my forehead, lifting my chin and giving me a quick but passionate kiss on my lips.
i smiled softly, as evan released from the embrace , 'one more little surprise,' he took my hand and led me into the kitchen where he was mid preparing my favourite dinner , 'i'm glad you got home earlier so i get to see you, but sadly it's not all done yet, soo if you'll follow me upstairs ,madam' he chuckled, leading me to the bathroom situated upstairs were i was being run a nice, warm bath,
here our son was occupied choosing a bath bomb, before plopping it in the water watching it contently as it caused bubbles to form and the colour of the water to shift. he quickly scattered a few rose petals before i caught his attention.
'did you like the picture i drew, it's you, me and daddy?' i kneeled down giving him a kiss on the cheek.
'i absoloutely loved it, it was beautiful, thank you.' i cooed,causing a bright smile to become extremely prominent on her face, as it lit up.
evan ruffled his hair,' hey, let's go downstairs and watch cartoons and let mommy relax, ok?' to which our song eagerly nodded his hair practically sprinting down stairs, causing both me and evan to chuckle.
'i'll call you down when dinner's finished, but for now just unwind and relax my love,' kissing me more roughly this time, before whispering seductively in my ear 'and later tonight i'll give you a final surprise that's sure to relieve any stress.' he winked before leaving me to attend to the business downstairs. his last comment had my cheeks feeling hot, and all i could think of was what he had planned.

Top 7 Things I Enjoyed in 2023: Number 7
If you've seen my past lists, you'd think that I don't like much from DC. That's just a reflection of my current relationship with the company. They've only really made two comics I love this century and it's for B-tier characters. I've been out of touch with any movie endeavors involving heroes since Batman. I've never really gotten into the animated movie scene.
That was only sometimes the case. When I was younger, they ruled the animated television scene. First, it was the DCAU works like Justice League and Static Shock. Later works like Teen Titans and Batman: the Brave and the Bold were what I looked forward to seeing on weekend nights. Sadly, that magic seemed to have died as the years continued, and nothing else has been of interest to me on the animated scene in over a decade.
But what better way to get back into it than the man of tomorrow?
Tumblr media
Number #7 – My Adventures with Superman
I've recently been hit with how old my generation is. It's crazy that a show like this feels perfectly suited for the Adult Swim block it aired on. This felt like the kind of show I would have seen around the same time as any of those other shows I mentioned. All while referencing things that my generation would recognize and appreciate. That said, it's thankfully not too adult. There's not too much that could keep me from watching this with my elementary school students, especially considering they're watching anime like One Piece and Demon Slayer.
Speaking of anime, one of the bigger complaints about this show has been feeling too much like anime. For one, have you seen a lot of what is airing around the same time slot? Two days after it aired, Toonami came on to show actual anime. And, for all the changes to character designs, these characters very much feel like the versions fans should know and recognize.
Ever since film audiences had to see Superman snap General Zod's neck on screen, followed by his death in Dawn of Justice, it's been clear the public image of Clark Kent has needed serious repair. While the fate of the DCU stands to be seen, it's amazing to have a story so uniquely focused on how good Clark Kent is. And I do mean Clark. Despite the title, this story feels more about how their world doesn't have to be afraid of Superman because Clark Kent is a good person. This is despite everything his world throws at him and the slander made his way.
And thank goodness for this iteration of Lois and Clark's relationship. This is a relationship that has seen multiple versions over the years. However, it just feels satisfying to see a solid romantic relationship progress in real-time. The best thing about this being for adults is that much of the "will they, won't they" nonsense that pervades teenage romance is replaced with honest conversations about feelings and amazing payoffs.
The only complaint I could have is that it felt too short. It could have easily overstayed its welcome, but there are things about this series that demand a second season. Thank goodness the end of the first season came with a confirmation of the second season's production.
This is normally how I talk about my favorite things of the year. And there were six things I thought were better than this. That's how crazy this year was.

Hi! I saw your requests are open and I would like to request something. The thought of Loki pretending to be someone else just to make sure the reader really liked him back is both sad and amusing at the same time. Can you make a short story or drabble based on that idea? Thank you so much.
I love this idea, so very much!! I think it would be funny watching him try to act like someone else, and also sad like you said that he would feel he needed to do that, soooo I'm gonna pick this up, and run with it!! 😁💚 thank you for the request!!
====================================
You can tell me
Pairing: Loki x gn reader
Warnings: touch of angst, self esteem issues, a dash of fluff. Loki being loki, mentions of alcohol
Summary: your a lab technician at stark tower, and with that you've grown close to the group of heroes, developing a massive crush on a certain God, little did you know he felt the same...
Tumblr media
You sat at the bar, nursing your drink contemplating why you came. Tony was infamous for his lavish parties, but you would rather be curled up on your couch watching a movie with your blanket. "Hey y/n, having fun?" You heard Bruce as he walked up. "I mean I guess, why did you invite me again?" You asked sipping your drink. "Because, you spend all day in that lab, you deserve a little fun." He said grabbing his drink. "If you say so." You sighed swirling your glass. "Come on, go mingle." He said nudging your arm. "Maybe in a bit." You said looking down. "Ok suit yourself." He said walking off.
Your eyes scanned the room, looking for the only person you wanted to talk to. Not seeing the raven haired man anywhere, you sighed waving at the bartender "he's probably already taken someone to his room." You said to yourself. "Hey, there you are." You heard Steve as he sat next to you. You looked up at him "heeey Steve, how are you?" You asked looking around, thinking he must be drunk, he hardly ever talks to you.
"Oh, you know, busy defending justice and all that." He said smiling. "Right." You nodded watching him. "So, having fun? See anyone interesting?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows. Yeah, he's drunk. "Oh, um yeah it's alright. Not really what I'm in to. Id rather be home on my couch." You laughed as he watched you. "Hmm, well, anyone you want to take to that couch with you?" He asked winking. You sighed "look, Steve, I'm flattered, but.." you started "No, No not me. Anyone.......else?" He asked leaning on the bar. You felt your cheeks heat up thinking about the man you would love to take home and have your way with. "Umm, not really no, well he's not here anyway so." You shrugged.
"Oh, there is someone. Come on, who is it?" He asked turning towards you. "Steve, I don't think.." you started "nonsense, you can tell me, I won't say anything, scouts honor." He said holding his hand up making you laugh. "Ugh alright. Well he's tall, the softest looking hair, and the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, he's charming and sweet, beautiful really." You sighed looking down "and a voice that could melt an iceberg." You said downing your drink. "Mmm sounds dreamy, does this charming man have a name?" He asked "mmm, I don't think I should say." You said looking at him "besides, he would never feel the same about me." You smiled sadly.
"You don't know that, your intelligent, witty, have a wonderful sense of humor, and you have a way of lighting up whatever room you walk into, any man would be lucky to have you as theirs." He said sternly. "Ha ha yeah ok." You rolled your eyes. "Y/n.." he started before he looked to the other side of the room. "I...uh have to go....I forgot I have to.....polish my shield. Can't fight for patriotism with a dirty shield." He saluted running off. "That was weird." You said sipping your drink. You sat there a bit longer, turning to scan the room. You saw Steve talking with Tony and Bruce, Natasha and Wanda were sitting on one of the sofas as you spotted Thor and Loki sitting on the other. You sighed, finishing your drink you pushed yourself up heading for the elevators.
"Hey kid, leaving so soon." You heard Tony ask. "Yeah, I'm gonna head out. Oh, Steve how's your shield?" You smiled remembering your conversation. "What do you mean? It's fine." He said furrowing his eyebrows. "You said you needed to polish it, remember?" You asked. "When did I say that?" He asked "earlier, when you were at the bar, you said...." you stopped as realization hit you, that wasn't Steve. "Will you excuse me please." You said leaving Tony and Steve.
You headed for the sofas, but Loki was gone. You scanned the room, standing on your toes searching through the sea of people when your eyes spotted his raven hair, ducking between people heading for the elevators. "Oh no you dont." You said as you pushed past everyone heading for the hall. You came out right in front of the hallway, not seeing Loki come out when you turned towards the elevator, seeing him in his black suit, frantically hitting the elevator button. You strode down the hall, determined to catch him before it arrived.
"Loki.." you said coming up behind him. You saw him freeze before turning around, offering you a huge smile. "Y/n, hello. How are you?" He asked. "Cut the crap, I know it was you." You said poking him in the chest. His smile fell slightly as he looked at you "I apologize for my deception y/n, but I needed to know." He said fidgeting with his hands. "Needed to know what?" You asked crossing your arms. "How you felt about me." He said, putting his hands in his pockets. "What, so you can mock me, tease me, tell everyone how pathetic I am?" You said beginning to pace the hallway. "Absolutely not, that is not why I wanted to know." He said stepping forward. "Then why Loki? Why would you humilate me? trick me into admitting I love you!" You yelled, slapping your hand over your mouth realizing what you said.
Loki stepped forward, staring into your eyes as the elevator dinged. "Nevermind, I'm going. Good night Loki." You said, feeling your eyes tear up as you stormed into the elevator, frantically pressing the button, watching Loki stand there staring at you as the doors closed. "God I'm such an idiot." You sighed to yourself as you reached the ground floor, heading to your car. You fiddled with your keys as you heard footsteps behind you "y/n, please wait." You heard. "Loki, I don't want to talk about it." You sighed turning around, not realizing how close he was.
"The reason I wanted to know how you felt about me, was to see of my feelings were reciprocated." He said bringing his hand up, cupping your cheek. "Wait, what?" You asked as he smiled. "I have longed for you for sometime, your the only reason I go to that dingy lab." He said sliding his hand to your neck. "Why didn't you just ask me?" You said looking at him. "I was...afraid I may have been wrong." He sighed looking into your eyes. "Y/n, would you allow me to court you?" He asked grabbing your hand with his free one. "You, want to court.....me?" You asked staring at him. "If you'll have me, yes." He said stepping closer, his nose inches from yours. "Umm...I'd like that very much Loki." You said smiling.
You saw his eyes flicker to your lips and back, as he closed the distance, pressing his lips softly on yours. You turned your head, deepening the kiss, running your along his bottom lip, sliding your tongue in as he parted his lips. He moaned into your mouth as your fingers laced through his hair, slightly tugging. Pulling apart for air you looked into eachothers eyes "so, wanna come sit on my couch with me?" You asked "I would love nothing more." He said, pecking your lips climbing in the car. "Oh, and you really need to work on your impression of Steve, I thought he went crazy." You laughed starting your car. "Noted." He said laughing.

hey so how do you think Ryuji/Skull would deal with a new member joining the phantom thieves. After strikers another Palace/jails showed up. He develops a crush on this new member. After 10 months, they have a break between the big mission as they are waiting for more things to happen, crush sends a serious sounding text to come meet up. It’s important. Crush confesses to him that they like him and was wondering if he’d like to go on a date with them when this is all over?
꒰୨୧﹒Persona 5 - Hcs for Ryuji Sakamoto with a Crush on a New Phantom Thief
This is a really cute request! Hope you don't mind the beginning being a bit vague, but hey, leaves more room for the imagination.
Warnings: None
Tumblr media
Ryuji Sakamoto
• A year had passed since the Phantom Thieve's final encounter with False God Demiurge. Considering the uneventfulness of said year, they figured that their services to society were finally over. Alas, it was never that simple
• Trouble began to arise as new victims were being targeted by an unknown party. Soon enough, dungeons began to arise once more. They were a bit different from palaces and jails, but they shared one thing in common. They were dangerous and did more harm than good
• As much as Ryuji enjoyed kicking ass, he didn't know how to feel about having to continue the whole Phantom Thief charade, though it's not like he could find it in himself to stop with his strong sense of serving justice
• There was one good thing that came out of this whole ordeal, however, and that was the arrival of a new Phantom Thief. You had connections to the first victim of these palace/jail-like dungeons and had involuntarily wound up into one alongside the Phantom Thieves
• Luckily, you had a strong will with a desire to fight, and you were to able to unlock your Persona
• The Phantom Thieves (a bit cautious due to their unfamiliarity with you) didn't see any harm in having a new addition. You seemed to mean well and had an honest interest in assisting them, so after a group discussion, they invited you to join the team
• Now, this wasn't the first time the Phantom Thieves had gotten a new recruit, especially for Ryuji. After all, he was the Phantom Thieves third member (if we're counting Morgana), so this shouldn't have been a huge deal
• And it wasn't, at least, at first. Ryuji had always been on the friendly side, so he eagerly welcomed you into the group, cracking a few light-hearted jokes here and there to help you feel comfortable. The smile he managed to conjure from you made his heart thump in his chest, but he was quick to shrug it off
• He didn't initially realize it, but for whatever reason, he had become enthralled by you. He found himself sneaking glances at you during meetings and watching in awe at how you're able to carry yourself in battle. When you were in the room, his attention would slowly drift towards you. It's quite literally puppy love
• He begins to find excuses to be around you. "Hey [Name], I've got this huuuge exam coming up and I could use some extra help." "[Name], I heard about this new ramen place that opened down the street and it'd be cool if someone could taste-test with me!" "I heard that you really wanted to go [insert place that requires a ticket here] and I've got an extra ticket, wanna come?"
• It isn't until Ann begins to tease Ryuji over his behavior with you that he starts to realize he's developed a crush: "Great, freaking fantastic." (sarcasm)
• He ends up keeping his crush to himself. 1) Because he's afraid of scaring you off and ruining his friendship with you, and 2) With Phantom Thief business becoming more hectic as they drew closer to tracking down the culprit, he didn't want to overwhelm you with anything else
• Little does he know that you've been harboring a crush of your own. You admired his loyal and thoughtful he was, not to mention his goofy nature brightened your day. You had enjoyed getting to know him during your time in the group, and didn't want to stop talking to him once everything was over. Sadly, you hadn't gotten the chance to talk to him about it with all the crazy things that have been happening
• 10 months have passed since the two of you met. The Phantom Thieves have decided to take a momentary break during their long-awaited moment of calm. You didn't know what dangers were lurking in the future, so you decided it was now or never. You picked up your phone and sent a text to Ryuji telling him to meet you outside the arcade
• A few minutes past before Ryuji notices your text. He types up a reply saying he'll be there soon. He was already out buying groceries (per his mom's request) so it doesn't take long before he reaches the outside of the arcade
• You had been anticipating this moment, standing in front of the arcade and trying to figure out what to say, but as soon as you here him shout your name and walk towards your direction, your thoughts overflow and you can't help but blurt out "I like you!"
• Ryuji is confused, so he does what feels natural and tries to play it off as some sort of joke
• You clarify that you aren't joking and confess that you've had a crush on him, pouring your heart onto a silver platter before asking if he'd be up for going on a date once everything is over
• A few moments pass as he stands there and blinks, trying to process everything you just said before excitedly pulling you into a hug. He tells you that he's felt the same way and that you beat him to the punch
• Ryuji isn't one for waiting. He likes to do things in the present, so he asks if you want to try doing a mini-date after he drops the groceries off at home. If the answer is no, he'll respect that answer and wait. If the answer is yes, you two will probably come back to the arcade or eat out somewhere
• "This is only the beginning. Wait 'till all of this crazy stuff is over. I'll give you a date you'll never forget!"

OUTLANDER EPISODE 702: Two villains meet their untimely ends
Watching the second episode of season 7, I realize how much I've missed the show. They packed a lot into this episode. There were all the feels associated with Amanda's birth, the MacKenzie family saying goodbye to Jamie & Claire, Wille and Bree meeting at last, and Jamie severing his relationship with Lord John because of the war.
But there was plenty of dark drama too, starting with Allan Christie's confession and death, and ending with the Big House on fire.
So I thought I'd take some time to dissect the tangled paths that led two Outlander villains to their deaths in this episode--and to consider the choices that some Outlander protagonists made regarding these villains.
Ian's Retribution for the death of the "bairn" he once thought was his
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Episode 702 started with a death, which proved to be apt foreshadowing for its ending.
Allan Christie's death in this episode is very much like the one in the book. Alexander Vlahos brought a good mixture of sleaziness, despair, and infantile anger to his portrayal of Allan.
Cait deftly portrayed Claire's enormous frustration at being put in a situation where she had to stop a man from killing himself, whom she probably wished would die for his crimes.
Finally, John Bell as Ian fully embodied his role as a Mohawk warrior. He was believable in how he stolidly disposed of Allan for having killed the "bairn" he had originally thought was his, but which he still thought "deserved to live." There was nary a sign of the carefree, mischievous lad Ian used to be. (Sadly there was also nary a sign of the boy who was distraught when he thought he accidentally killed someone in the print shop fire.)
Tumblr media
Allan Christie was a horrible human being, who had gotten away for years with the incest of his sister Malva, and eventually with Malva's murder and the death of her unborn bairn. [The flashbacks illustrated the creepy brother-sister story perhaps too well--I was extremely uncomfortable watching them.]
Furthermore, Allan's attempt to hide his guilt almost resulted in Claire being hung for a crime for which she was innocent. It also indirectly led to his father's sacrifice to protect Claire.
Still, Claire, ever the physician who takes her oath to preserve life seriously, went above and beyond the call of duty by wrestling the gun away from Allan before trying to talk him out of suicide.
Tumblr media
But Claire's valiant efforts were in vain because Ian made the decision to step in and grant Allan his death wish.
Tumblr media
Ian's code of justice comes from both the Scottish Highlands and the Mohawk nation; therefore, he does not appear to have any qualms about taking the life of a murderer.
But there are issues I had with Ian's decision, besides the ones I have about his playing judge, jury, and executioner.
Although I agreed with Claire's decision to try to stop Allan from killing himself, I had issues with Claire's suggestion to Allan that he run away.
Tumblr media
What I wished had happened is that Ian and Claire had worked together to take Allan to justice. In doing so, they could have cleared Tom's name. Even if they believed that Tom was dead, his memory deserved not to be tainted by a murder he did not commit.
However, I do appreciate that Claire felt that Tom's sacrifice had also (probably unwittingly) spared his son from having to die for Malva's murder. I don't think Tom knew that his son had killed Malva, but the end result was that Allan was free. Claire clearly thought it would have been a waste of Tom's sacrifice, if his son took his life.
Tumblr media
Yet, I still wish that Ian in particular had chosen a different course of action, one that didn't involve Ian and Claire having to dispose of the body.
Tumblr media
The irony could not have been lost on Claire that she had just escaped from an unjust charge of murder for one Christie, only to go on to help Ian cover up the murder of another Christie.
Both Claire and Ian were lucky that Mrs. Bug decided to help them rather than turn them in.
Tumblr media
Wendigo Donner: The man who lost his moral compass in an uncaring past
We saw Roger in episode 701 meet Wendigo Donner, another time traveler, who had come back to help the 18th century indigenous people avoid the genocide that was to come. Unfortunately, Donner's plans went awry, and he ended up becoming a criminal, who didn't do anything to help Claire when she was kidnapped.
Tumblr media
Brennan Martin as Donner did a good job of showing just enough of the decent man that Donner used to be to get the kind-hearted Roger to take pity on him.
Tumblr media
Fortunately, Bree talked some sense into Roger, and he decided not to help Donner. We don't know what Donner would have done, if Roger had helped him to escape. But most likely, the end result would have been the same.
Despite Donner's crimes, Roger was sympathetic to him, because he felt guilty for some of the things he himself felt compelled to do (or not do) after going through the stones.
Still, Roger never lost himself to despair, anger and selfishness like Donner did. That's because the love of Bree, Jemmy, Claire, and Jamie helped to provide him with a moral compass as he confronted many of the hardships of living in the past. (It probably also helped that Roger was a minister's adopted son.)
Although it is clear that Donner had unselfish motives to travel to the past to help the indigenous people, when he arrived in the 18th century he was truly alone. The rest of "the Montauk Five" weren't with him--or weren't alive.
Unfortunately, unlike Roger, Donner never found a caring group of people in the 18th century to provide him with a moral compass to help him avoid losing his way, as he struggled with the difficulties of living in the past.
Tumblr media
Over time, whatever concern Donner had for others took a back seat to his own needs, gradually corrupting him, and tragically leading to this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Big House finally did burn down on December 21, 1776. Not on January 21, 1776 as had been recorded. The colonial newspaper had gotten the date wrong.
The epicenter of all that the Frasers had built on the Ridge went up in smoke with the careless lighting of a match. A match that didn't belong in the 18th century, wielded by a man who didn't belong there either.
Still, I'm glad the show's writers made one change from the book in this scene. In the book, it was Ian who lit the match and accidentally caused the ether to explode (after Donner and his gang had been captured).
But it is far more fitting that the show's writers decided to literally show that it was Donner and his selfishness that ultimately made everything go up in flames at the end of his life--and of this episode.

I'm kinda shy doing this but Loki with a s/o that's a selective mute and uses a notebook to talk, but still knows how to fight and defend themselves? I understand if you don't do this, but don't stress yourself with doing this if you do :)
Loki didn't know how to react at first, since you were the daughter of Forseti—the god of justice.
The only times you had ever interacted with each other was during serious meetings between your fathers, or trials.
So, he only knew you from a duty standpoint for a long time, until he realized exactly why your father refused you to play with them as children.
You refused to speak.
He noticed when he once tried to prank you by shifting his form into your father and started talking to you, but you didn't react.
In fact, you only bowed your head in submission and clutched closer to your chest the notebook you always seemed to carry around with you.
You then started writing something and Loki was found speechless as he read :
Nice try, prince Loki.
Tumblr media
You had so easily pierced through his prank that he wondered if you hadn't received a special gift from your father that allowed you to see through his tricks.
And sure enough, you had.
As he was the god of mischief, he soon realized why you were called the goddess of truth.
It meant you could see through every lie and couldn't lie yourself, and maybe was it the reason you didn't speak.
So, he observed you. He decided to be more careful in his watch of your person, as you may not have been gifted a swift tongue—but your might was there in every decision you took.
You supported your father, his pride in interrogations as you could easily squeeze out the truth out of gods themselves.
It quickly became a competition between the both of you, to prove yourselves to your fathers.
Loki would cause chaos and you would handle it—or vice versa. No one could really tell.
Until one day, you decided enough was enough and you confronted Loki with one demand, written in bold letters in your notebook.
MARRY ME.
Loki was shocked. He hadn't expected it from you and smiled before shaking his head in disbelief.
"The god of mischief and the goddess of truth ? We would make the most disastrous of couples. Why would you ever ask for such a thing ?"
You shrugged before adding something on your notebook—an answer that both impressed and puzzled him.
"...Because I can be a little mischievous too.", he read out loud before looking up at you and as if to prove your point—you smirked at him.
Tumblr media
One that he ought to match as he finally nodded in agreement before taking your hand and kissing the back of it.
"Alright, Truth. Let's see where this union shall lead to...It might be interesting indeed."
At the end, not only had you earned yourselves the wrath and complains of all the gods—but your fathers counted you both as the shame of Asgard.
But, it didn't bother you. You both relished in their hatred. You had spent all of your young years trying to please them, but no more.
Truth and Mischief would rule.
But, you hadn't anticipated how your own husband would come to stab you in the back.
He hadn't shared with you his plans on taking over Asgard and punishing Thor for being the favorite son.
You couldn't lie.
With his want for revenge, he found himself facing trial in front of your father and unfortunately, you were one of the gods called to testify.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And when the question came to Loki and if his mischief would become a threat to Asgard...The words you wrote couldn't be more truthful.
...Yes. He betrayed me. He betrayed Asgard. And he would do it again.
You had stabbed yourself in the heart writing those words and even if your heart had told you to lie and deceive, you couldn't.
But, Loki didn't seem upset—he only smiled sadly at you before kissing your forehead lovingly.
"My wonderful Truth...You should have never linked your fate to mine. The god of lies."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You closed your eyes and when he was taken away, your mouth opened to scream—but no sound came out.
"Goodbye, my love...Stay true.", were his last words before he was sent to Earth.
But, nobody expected you to jump after him.
You let out a loud scream and wrapped your arms around your husband while you both fell through the portal.
You didn't know what Earth would be like, but you knew that wherever Loki would end up, you would follow.
"My...crazy wonderful wife...", he uttered softly before embracing you. Nobody had ever been more loyal to Loki since Freya, and Loki was the one found speechless as you arrived and he found you in his arms.
"My sweet love...You have doomed yourself with me."
He thought you would regret, but you only smiled up at him and mouthed your words to him.
We. Are. Free.
Loki took a moment to ponder on your words before smiling back at you and nodding.
"Yes. Yes, we are."
