“Colonel’s Orders” 
Tumblr media
(oh to be manhandled by Mansk like Tsireya)
Smut with Mansk, Miles, and Lyle
Summary: Quaritch gathers everyone outside for a new type of training session. The recom team don’t know what’s about to happen except for Miles and Lyle. This lesson is meant to increase the team’s hunting skills, however, you and Z-Dog are excluded. We have to pretend to be the prey first, which we think isn’t fair. Eventually, we are persuaded and have a head start before being hunted. 
Warnings: HEAVY SMUT, a little Angst?, predator and prey kink, NON-CON SEX, bad language, tiny bit of voyeurism, breeding kink, degrading

Colonel's Orders Version 2.0
I was in the break room, getting a drink from the fridge when Lopez walked past, greeting me. 
“Outside in 10. We have training.” he says, about to leave. 
“What? But we finished for today.” I reply and he turns back. 
“Colonel’s orders. Outside in 10, dressed appropriately for training.” he repeated before walking away. I just stare into nothingness for a while, wondering why we suddenly have to gather again when we just ended less than 2 hours ago. It’s not like I could do anything about it so I put the cold drink back and went to my room to go get dressed in Cammie pants and a tank top. 
While leaving my room and walking down the hallway, I met Zdinarsk. She smiled, nodding to me. 
“Do you know what this is about?” I ask and she shakes her head no, shrugging. 
“Maybe the Colonel has some announcement.” 
“Why outside though?” I say, asking myself more than her. She scoffs, wearing the same things I’m wearing and we walk out onto the large concrete jet runway. The sun is beaming down strongly and the warmth of Pandora hits our skin. 
Quite a bit away, we see most of the recom-team already gathered. The Colonel, Lyle, Mansk, Prager, Lopez, Ja, Brown, and Fike are outside, all standing around each other, talking. 
Walker is busy with testing tools in the lab along with Warren and Zhang.
We walk next to each other and I squint, having to look at the ground because the sun was too bright. The wind caressed my face and made my hair flow. It made my hair flow… I forgot to tie it up. Oh no. 
Quaritch got angry about that once, I hoped he wouldn’t mind me running back before we started. 
“Finally, the ladies have decided to show up.” Quaritch loudly announces, grinning while his hands rest on his vest. 
I tilt my head confused. 
“Are we late?” I ask Z-Dog confused,  who is already checking her watch. She shakes her head. 
“We’re two minutes early.” she replies in a sassy tone but still keeping it respectful with our superior. 
“Could have been another two minutes earlier.” he says, before fully turning around to face us. We choose wisely to not reply or fire any comment back. It could cause problems. He seems to be pleased with our silence. 
“Y/N, hope that ponytail ain’t too tight.” Lyle chuckles, noticing my open hair. I glare at him, fully aware of my mistake. I almost always have to have my hair tied back, so it's rare anyone sees me like this. 
I glance at Quaritch who is looking at my hair. 
“I can run back and get it, sir.” I say, taking a step back to be ready to go. 
“That won’t be necessary.” He calmly states, looking from my hair to my eyes, before speaking to the group. 
“You won’t be needing it now. In fact, I think I prefer it like that.” he smirks, and I hear a few chuckles from the men. Z-Dog is just as confused as me. 
“Alright squad, today’s… second session will be a bit different from what we did this mornin’. “ the Colonel starts announcing and everyone quiets down. I quickly scan the team, and notice Lyle grinning to himself. As if he knew about something. Maybe this was some sort of surprise. 
“I discussed this matter with, Corporal Wainfleet here. We decided that this team needs less training as humans and more training as Na’vi. “ he continues. So Lyle does know what’s going on. I glance between him and the Colonel, wondering what they had planned. Maybe we would finally get to train our banshees today. 
Lyle looks up at me and Z-Dog with a shit-eating grin on his face. I exchange judgemental looks with her. We wanted to know why we were dragged out here. 
“If we want to find Sully, we need to be able to hunt Na’vi. I mean hunt like them and hunt them.” he says, his eyes roaming over all his soldiers, to make sure we understand and are listening.
“Which is exactly what we are going to do today.” 
I raise my eyebrows. We were going to look for and hunt down Na’vi people? I didn’t know whether I was excited or terrified. Lyle is grinning again and looking at his buddies. They don’t seem to know all he knows and he signals to them that they’ll know in a second. Mansk is nodding along to what Quaritch says, staying serious while Lyle is acting like a teenager about to do something stupid. Maybe that is an exaggeration. He is standing still, keeping quiet and listening, but his grin is irritating me. 
It doesn’t seem like a good sign. 
“We’re just gonna go into the jungle and find some more blue freaks?” Fike asks, and Quaritch is now grinning too. 
“Not exactly.” Lyle intervenes. “We’re going to practise that here, between us. We’re the only Na’vi for miles.” 
“How?” I blurt out. To be fair, it what his fault for not saying all the information at once. 
“Glad you asked, buttercup.” he smiles, turning to me. I frown at the nickname, straining my ears back. He does that often, to embarrass me in front of others I think, but it’s getting old.
“We’re gonna need two people to be the so-called prey.” he explains, while walking towards me. “The rest of the team will hunt them. As simple as that.” 
“Who’s gonna be the prey? I don’t think anyone wants to volunteer for that one.”  Prager announces after a minute and Lyle chuckles. 
“We’ve already got our prey.” Lyle says, returning his gaze to me and looking me deep in the eyes. 
Finally, I catch on to what he’s saying. I’m about to fire some comments back when Lyle is pulled away by Quaritch. 
“Prey, my ass.” I snap at him, not angry just pissed off. 
I glance between them and I hear Zdinarsk huff beside me in disbelief. 
“No fucking way.” she says, crossing her arms over her chest. 
Mansk and the others understand now too. I hear a few chuckles from them, while I just stare at Lyle and Miles in disbelief. 
“We’re not doing that.” I say, backing up Z-Dog. 
“That’s an order.” Quaritch says, smirking amusedly. 
“Why us? Why can’t one of them go?” I complain. 
“That’s an order.” he repeats himself, underlining every word. I frown, letting my ears droop as my tail flicks behind me in irritation. 
My silence is an answer to him and he returns to explaining. 
“Now, our lovely ladies will get a five-minute head start. Then-”
“Five?!” I accidentally interrupt and he looks at me annoyed. 
“I can make that three.” he threatens and I look down, not saying a word again. He turns back. 
“Using the stronger senses we have in our bodies, it shouldn’t be too hard.” the Colonel continues to explain. The recom-men exchange glances and smirks, some nodding while others nudge each other’s arms. They seem happy. 
Z-Dog and I exchange the hundredth glance for today, not seeming to believe what is happening. 
“Pfft… stronger senses.” I mutter under my breath. I’ll make sure they won’t find me. 
“That’s right Y/N,” the Colonel said. How did he even hear that?
“Some scientists told me that Na’vi get cycles. So-called ‘heat cycles’...” 
My eyes widen. I just keep hearing more and more bad news. 
“And apparently we are approaching our one soon…” Quaritch continues. Wainfleet is still grinning like the bitch he is. 
Everyone is surprised and listening. 
“Durin’ these times, it’s easier for us…” he points at the recom-men who are all gathered together, “to be able to pick up your pretty scent.” he turns to Z-Dog and me, smirking. Zdinarsk is very clearly not impressed, yet she seems almost unfazed by his words. 
On the other hand, I am mindblown and I don’t know whether I’m pissed at Lyle, Miles or the scientists who summoned me into this body. I still can’t decide whether this experience is a curse or a blessing. 
“To make it a tad easier for us, no shirts allowed.” Lyle added and Quaritch didn’t seem to disagree. That was it, that was my final straw. I couldn’t believe it. I snort, clutching my face in my palms while Z-Dog just chews her gum and watches my reaction. 
“This is bullshit.” I say, letting my hands slide from my face. The entire team’s attention is focused on me and I don’t know how to feel about it. 
Quaritch raises his eyebrow at me as if challenging me to continue my petty behaviour. I fall in line under his gaze. 
Z-Dog sighs beside me before peeling her tank top off. I sigh as well. If she’s doing it, I must too. I turn away a little, facing the open runway and pull my tank top over my head, leaving me in a sports bra and cammies, like Z. 
I turn around, arms crossed in front of my chest, holding the shirt. The team was oddly silent. 
It wasn’t the first time we’d been in a sports bra in front of them. During the hot days or really intense training lessons, we would just wear them while the others didn’t even wear a shirt. But it still seemed different because this time it had a different meaning. But training is training, what can one do?
“Drink before you go.” Quaritch ordered, his own arms crossed over his chest, seeming pleased that we followed orders without complaining too much anymore. 
After all, he was our superior, and responsible for us, so making us drink was not uncommon. 
Lyle handed us each a water bottle, from which we took a few gulps. Some water trickled down the side of my mouth and on my chest but I didn’t care. It was too warm to mind that. 
I handed it back to him, sending him a glare just to let him know that I was pissed. 
“Alright, you’re ready.” Quaritch said, but I wasn’t finished just yet. 
“What if I just don’t run?” I ask, more out of curiosity than sass. 
He takes an intimidating step forward. “Then I’ll deal with you right here, in front of everyone.” He stated firmly, staring me down. I looked away again, nodding a little before turning away and standing next to Z-Dog again who was already facing where we have to go. 
I didn’t quite know what he meant by that, I could only assume. And I assumed that he would do something I would not want others to see. 
“Alright, you see the entry in the fence there? That’s where the forest starts. You go through there and then wherever you want after that. We’ll find you.” Quaritch says, pointing to the gate with the opening, separating the forest from the concrete. I huff annoyed facing the direction we were supposed to run in after throwing my shirt at Lyle’s face. It wasn’t far until the fence. I wondered if I would encounter any native creatures, thinking that perhaps I should be armed but then again, none of them ever get close to here. 
“Happy runnin’ ladies. Time starts…now.” Quaritch says and once he finishes Z-Dog is walking away already. I jog up to her and we walk more or less side by side for a while. Then we hear someone yell that if we don’t start running now they will shorten the time. I groan out in frustration, letting my head fall back before picking up my pace and running to the fence, close behind Zdinarsk. 
Before we know it we reach the fence where we slow down and look around before walking into the forest. 
“Is it smart to stick together?” she asks me and I think about it. 
“Probably not. If we’re working as a team here, it makes sense for us to split. That way if they all find one of us, the other is still fine.” I reply, not quite knowing what to expect. 
“Let’s kick their ass. I say we continue for an hour, then we return home.” she says and smiles to herself.
“Heh- imagine if we just ditch the mission while they are still out here.” I chuckle and she joins. 
Silence. 
“We’d get in so much tr-” 
“Yeah, Colonel would kill us.” She agrees. 
We walk in silence again, thinking about what he would be yelling. Then I check my watch. 
“They’ll come after us in a minute. We should split now.” I say and she nods in agreement.
“Aight. See ya’.” we bump our fists together before I take a right turn and she goes left. The next time I look over my shoulder, I don’t see her anymore. 
I look at the time again. They must have already left the base. Probably just arrived in the forest right now. 
I push my way through leaves, my ears flicking around, picking up small noises. The forest felt very abandoned. There was almost no noise. 
I went deeper. If they would really follow my scent, I couldn’t have it going in a straight line. I let my feet carry me faster again and I made occasional turns while making sure I was putting enough distance between the base and me. With the new body came a new and better sense of coordination. If I would continue wandering for the next few hours, I still wouldn’t get lost. 
I looked at my watch again only to see it had frozen. ‘Great’ I thought. 
What feels like at least 2 hours have passed and my legs were getting a little tired. The sun was still up, it was only afternoon. I gave up on running. It seemed to me as though they had overestimated their capabilities and would not find me. Maybe I should start turning back? 
I stop for a while, standing completely still, trying to pick up anything. Any noise, sight or smell. But there was nothing. While standing I became aware of an odd feeling in my groin. 
I curse myself. The fucking heat cycle. It didn’t hit me, it slowly developed. I had felt something similar this morning, but it was growing now. 
“My scent is probably stronger now.” I whisper to myself. 
Once the 5 long minutes were over, Mansk had made it his priority to find you. While your aroused scent wasn’t present, your normal one was and that alone drove Mansk feral. He wanted to be the first one to get you. 
Since your scent had a serious effect on Mansk, he was able to recognise it easier and he left the team, going out to hunt you down on his own. 
I keep walking until I feel a different type of strange feeling. I look around myself and stay quiet, but no one is there. Yet, strangely I no longer feel like I am alone. As if I had some company that I didn’t know about. If my feeling was right, it was either a creature, Z-Dog or one of the soldiers. 
Then again, Z went the other way and forest animals don’t come so close to the human’s area, so chances were one of the soldiers was close. I continued walking, looking in front for a while then turning my head, to glance behind me while still moving. I turn around and walk a few steps backwards, not changing the direction I was going in, trying to find any movement between the leaves I just walked by. 
That’s when it happened. Suddenly I felt arms snake around me from behind. One held my arms down and wrapped around my waist while the other pressed someone’s hand over my mouth. I screamed from the sudden surprise but the short loud noise was muffled by the palm. It all happened so quickly, my mind was struggling to keep up. 
I was pulled against someone’s body and I could immediately tell it was one of the recom’s because of the gear they were wearing. They held me close to their body, preventing my struggle and walking a few steps back. 
“Shhh…” the voice cooed. “Stop strugglin’.”
My eyes opened wider. It was Mansk holding me. I let my eyes dart around, trying to find the others but it seemed as though he was alone. I calmed down, no longer trying to escape his grasp. 
Mansk let his hand slip from my mouth but surprised me when he wrapped it around my neck, forcing my gaze up a little. 
“Great, you- got me.” I say, attempting to get out of his embrace. “You can let me go now.” 
“That ain’t happenin’.” he replied, tightening his arm around me. I whine in protest, letting my head drop a little. 
“Can’t let you escape now.” he said and from the way the words left his mouth, I could tell he was grinning. 
His presence affected me. Smelling his musk and being pressed up against his chest had my heart racing and I knew it wouldn’t be long until he would pick up on that.  
“I won’t run away, my leg hurts.” I lie to him, knowing I need to distance myself from him as fast as possible. I wasn’t sure what would happen if he would know what was going on. Quaritch told us all about the heat cycles but I don’t think anyone was expecting it to start today. Maybe it was the fact that this predator-prey game had me feeling some type of way.
To my surprise, he lets me go but doesn’t step away. His arms just fall to his sides and he is examining my every movement. I turn around to properly face him. 
Mansk and I were never really close. The whole team was close but we were never more than that. But it wasn’t awkward between us. Some other atmosphere was created. I would have said I felt sexual tension but that could be just because slowly I was becoming painfully aroused and he happened to be really attractive. 
I took a few steps back, watching him as he watched me.  Something about the way he looked at me had me thinking that he seemed frustrated. Perhaps it was the way his tail was flicking around behind him. 
But without further ado, I needed to save myself and my ego. I was too prideful to give in to my feelings just yet. I couldn’t make it that easy.  
My feet took off, back in the direction I came from and away from Mansk. 
Of course, he was predicting a reaction like that so without hesitation, he was sprinting after me. 
In the next few seconds, I was tackled to the ground, letting out an even louder scream this time. Mansk must have thrown himself at me and I was planted basically face-first in the ground. I was laying stretched out and I felt Mansk on top of me. 
“Nice try.” he chuckled, pulling my arms behind my back. I groaned in frustration, knowing I had no chance to escape him and that time was running out. Mansk cuffed both my wrists together with the elastic red handcuffs we carried around. 
“Really? Handcuffs?” I ask, trying to ridicule his actions as my last resort. 
He turns me over so that my back is laying on the floor and I’m looking up at him. He’s on his knees, with each leg on either side of my thighs. 
“I caught you, sweetheart. I ain’t lettin’ you out’ my sight.” he said, pushing his shades up on his head to get a better look at me. 
I felt how my cheeks heated up and the feeling between my legs was now undeniable. 
“Look at you, all pretty and flustered.” he smirks. His hand cups the side of my face and he runs his thumb over my cheek. 
The sight and the scent of you have him feeling extremely fucking turned on. The whole hunt had him getting worked up and he had been fighting the urge to relieve himself. But it wasn’t something he could do himself. He felt the urge to breed. 
Seeing you under him like this, experiencing your own heat problems had Mansk lose control. Once he picked up the scent of you in the forest, most of his common sense was gone. His mind could only focus on finding you. Now he succeeded and he wasn’t able to hold back. 
Without another thought, he flipped me back around. His hands traced my body, running down my back and back up my hips. He fumbled with my bra, just touching the fabric before he attached his hands to my pants and started tugging them down. With his strength, the belt was useless. He removed my panties in the process too because his fingertips hooked under both waistbands.
Mansk pulled my hips up while my upper body remained pressed into the ground. He was positioned right behind me and I heard him groan a little once my pants were removed. My heavy breathing was accompanied by his. 
His hand wrapped around my nervously swishing tail and he moved it out of the way, while his own tail was revealing his own frustrations. 
Mansk’s urges were getting stronger the more he would try to solve them. He sense how badly I was suffering the heat as well and were both just desperate to solve our problems. I needed him so badly and vice versa. 
I heard him undo his belt hastily while wrapping his other hand around my braid to make sure I can’t escape. Soon enough he let out a sigh of relief and I felt him press his bare crotch against mine. I felt his throbbing dick, pressed up against my pulsating core. The warmth of our bodies was mixing and he couldn’t take it anymore. Mansk was quite literally panting now, his big hands gripping my hips. 
I felt him pull away before moving his hips forward. His dick was perfectly lined up with where I craved him the most and he thrust forward into me, burying himself as deep into me as he could. 
I moaned, arching my back and pressing myself into him more while he bit his lip, letting his head drop back in relief. 
“F-fuck babygirl… so tight f’er me.” he groaned, before pulling out and repeating his actions. 
Mansk then leaned forward, holding himself up with his hands firmly splayed out on the ground on either side of my body. He tucked my waist right below his stomach and continued bucking his hips up into mine. My mind was getting cloudy and I whimpered, the pleasure saving me from the uneasy cravings I felt before. Mansk started to ruthlessly fuck me from behind, but the more he did the more he realised how deep and strong his need to breed was. He needed you to stay in your place beneath him and take it. 
All chances of you leaving were eliminated when he wrapped both his arms around your tilted waist, hugging you while continuing to rut into my almost squelching pussy. My body's noises ignited a fire in him. The harder he fucked me, the louder the noise of skin slapping filled my ears. His head was lolling down and he quickly undid my handcuffs with one swift move. He needed to be closer to me. I pushed my upper body up from the ground, being rocked forward by his thrusts on all fours.
Mansk immediately pressed his chest against my back, one toned arm holding him up while the other hugged me, bringing my entire body closer to him. 
“Mansk-” I whine, feeling the building-up pressure deep inside me. It felt like too much but it was so good. 
“Take it.” he growled into my ear. His fangs were bared and his ears strained back as both of us had our primal sides take over our bodies. Mansk’s head rested in the crook of my neck, his panting breath heating up my already warm skin. 
I started to clench around him, feeling my orgasm approach sooner than expected. He felt the way I squeezed him and it stimulated him more, so he sped up his pace a little. My body was tensing and with a few more thrusts, I came undone around Mansk. 
My eyes rolled to the back of my head and I let out what sounded like another scream, followed by a string of moans calling out Mansk’s name. 
He relentlessly pounded into me and then had his climax take over his body. Mansk was drowning in pleasure and was only acting on his instincts. He needed to keep you in place so he tightened his grip around your body, caging you in, bit down between your shoulder and neck, stilled his hips and released his load deep into you. 
His tense muscles soon relaxed and his arm dropped to the ground to ensure he wouldn’t fall. My legs were shaking and both of us were trying to regain our breath. 
The mating bite he gave me didn’t even hurt in the moment. Once he released, he removed his fangs from my skin, just letting his hot open lips rest on it. 
I let my head drop, releasing a breathy sigh. The fuzziness in my mind was fading away and reality was returning. 
Mansk then slowly lifted himself off my back, pulling out in the process. He rested his hand on my back, while the two of us calmed down. I sat back on my knees, lazily lifting my head and checking our surroundings. 
“Y’ alright?” he asked me, and I heard a hint of worry in his voice. Maybe he thought that he hurt me. 
I nod, smiling. 
“Yeah, great.” 
He smirked, handing me my pants before pulling his ones up and adjusting his belt. 
I sit there for a while, holding the clothes and just trying to focus on clearing my mind. That’s when I pick up a noise. My head turns in the direction of the distant rustling leaves. I wonder whether I’m just hearing things but when I turn back to look at Mansk, who is geared up again I can tell he’s hearing it too. 
Seeing that you haven’t quite recovered yet, Mansk steps forward, feeling the need to protect you. His ears were tipped back but still trained on the approaching noise. He raised his weapon, waiting to see what would come out between the tall grass, huge leaves and trees. 
He stood in front of me as if he were shielding me from what was to come. I watched as well, staying alert in case of any danger. My hands held my clothes over my exposed self, trying to cover up what a few moments earlier I had exposed. 
After a few moments, the noise got so close one could tell it was footsteps by the pace at which the noise was coming in. My eyes widened and I went pale. Mansk wasn’t the only recom hunting me. 
Quickly I stood up, holding the clothes in front of my abdomen, fastening them by wrapping my tail around myself. I stood behind Mansk, peeking past him to see. 
A faint voice was heard and some mumbling until we saw the leaves rustling. Suddenly, Quaritch emerged from the forest with Lyle behind him. 
They looked just as surprised to see us as we were to see them. Well, the two men were following my scent just like Mansk had done, but they were surprised to see Mansk there with me. 
Manks lowered his weapon, wanting to let out a small sigh of relief at the false alarm of danger until he realised that they must be in the same state he was in before. While he still felt protective, he couldn’t prevent anything from happening. Especially because both of them were his superiors. Colonel Quaritch and Corporal Wainfleet. 
“Well won’t ya look at that,” Quaritch said looking at me. “I was hopin’ to catch you.” 
I don’t think either of them had caught on to what had happened. Lyle only now realised that I was standing behind Mansk. The Colonel observed Mansk, raising an eyebrow at him before Mansk huffed and moved out of the way. 
Miles’ and Lyle’s eyes landed on me and instantly noticed the newly bare skin I was showing. They seemed surprised again. The Colonel raised both his eyebrows, just staring at me pathetically trying to cover myself and he scoffed. 
Lyle was grinning, both of them seeming amused by how I was standing in front of them. Mansk on the other hand was cursing himself for not dressing you when he had the chance. He wasn’t thrilled about the idea of them seeing you like this. At least he got you first. 
That’s when I heard a voice in my ear and realised it was Z-Dog. My ears perked up and I flinched a little. 
‘Y/N?’ she asked and I pressed the call on my throat to reply. 
“Z-Dog? How you doing?” I ask, wondering whether she hasn’t been caught yet. Miles notices what’s happening and presses his own call on his throat, listening to our conversation. 
‘I’m kinda fucked, not gonna lie.’ she replies and I have to suppress a giggle. 
“Same here.” I reply and she starts complaining about this taking too long. Miles dismisses it with a wave of his hand and stops listening. I do too, needing to focus on the situation I was in. 
Quaritch walks past Mansk and towards me, while Lyle follows. He stares me down but not in a hateful way. He’s examining me. My reactions to him. He needs to know how I feel because my scent has had him and Lyle both feeling sexually frustrated over the past hour. 
Lyle passes his fellow soldier. “What? Don’t like sharin’?” he teases Mansk before returning his gaze to me. Mansk grunts, clearly not pleased. 
“I thought you were innocent, princess.” Miles said, putting his finger under my chin and forcing me to meet his eyes. 
I started feeling all flustered and overwhelmed again. If more soldiers would come after Miles and Lyle I would pass out. 
For slight comfort, I curled my tail around my lower thigh. My eyes looked away from Quaritch’s ones and I naturally had my ears tipped back, showing my restless state. 
“I think I prefer you like this, though.” Miles added and Lyle smirked. I looked up at Miles and noticed how his nose twitched. 
He picked up your scent which was 10 times as strong now. He had it flooding his mind with vivid imaginations for the past hour, but never was it this strong. 
I watched how his pupils seemed to dilate and his eyes magically grew darker. Lyle smelled it too, and groaned, adjusting his pants. I glanced down and almost gasped. They seemed to be just as lust-hindered as me. 
While my problem had just been solved by Mansk, seeing them had me feeling aroused all over again. I bit my lip and clenched my legs together and Miles’ eyes shot down, watching my movements. That’s what broke his restraining form. He grabbed my shoulder, angling me to the side so that his hand could grasp my braid. His other hand then went down and he tore the pants that were covering me from my grip. I squeaked at the sudden movements and then felt how Quaritch kicked in the back of my knees, making me fall down to mine with his guidance. 
Lyle chuckled, moving forward to stand in front of me. Quaritch got down on his knees behind me, examining me for a few seconds before his hand reached out for my bra and pulled it up so that my breasts were now bare in front of all of them. My face heated up in embarrassment because I was the only one exposed like this.
He then pushed me further down and I found myself on all fours again. My tail was trying to cover my pussy but it was no use. The Colonel had one hand wrapped around my braid, tugging it back, while the other grabbed my tail and moved it to the side. 
Suddenly, Lyle got down on his knees in front of me and I noticed how strained his pants were from his hard-on. He took over, holding the braid so that Quaritch could focus on my lower half. He held my tail to the side and let his fingers glide through the folds of my pussy. 
Still being a little sensitive from last time, I flinch but it feels so good that a soft moan escapes my lips. 
“Look at you, acting like a bitch in heat.” Miles teases, delivering a harsh spank to my right cheek. I yelp, biting down on my lip and the Lyle cups my face, stroking my cheekbone with his thumb, just staring down at me while his superior continues to tease me. 
I was in fact, a bitch in heat. 
“Don’t worry, baby. We’ll give you what you want.” Quaritch says and I feel a little relieved that the teasing will end. 
The Colonel would have continued but he needed to solve his own cravings and they couldn’t wait any longer. 
Behind me, I once again heard a belt being undone and a zipper opened. Lyle did the same in front of me and I gasped a little when I saw his dick. Holy shit, he was big. 
I felt Miles, push his head against my hot slick skin, rubbing it for a bit before he lined himself up with me. I held my breath, knowing there was almost no time for foreplay because our needs were too strong. One could call the hunt, foreplay.
Quaritch’s hand wrapped around my tail and his other hand gripped my hip and he thrust himself into me swiftly with one move. I was still wet from Mansk so it was easier to fit this time. 
Miles hissed at the feeling and pleasure started clouding his senses too. I moaned, arching my back into Miles and Lyle chuckled. 
“I didn’t think you’d be greedy, Buttercup.” Lyle teased, placing his cock on my parted lips. “You just got fucked and now ya gettin’ it again.” 
I couldn’t even comprehend what he was saying because Quaritch started moving his hips against mine, not being able to stop himself from mindlessly rutting into me.
“Open that pretty lil’ mouth, baby.” Lyle said, grasping my jaw into his hand. I do as he says and look at him through the eyelashes of my half-lidded eyes. Lyle lets my tongue glide over the tip of his dick and he bites down on his bottom lip, tightening his grip on my hair. Then he slowly angles my jaw down and pushes a bit of himself into me, so that his dick presses against the inside of my cheek. I wrap my lips around him, using my tongue to continue to worship his cock. 
Miles grunts, speeding his pace up. “Ya feel so good- fuck, sweet’eart.” he curses, keeping his eyes fixed on where he’s disappearing into me while occasionally glancing at how I’m taking Lyle. 
Lyle holds my head in place and rocks his hips back a forth a bit. I can see how he is fighting the urge to just fuck my face but if I would let him I would most definitely suffocate. Each time he pushes himself down my throat a little more, until I reach my limit and he’s only halfway in. Luckily, Lyle doesn’t seem to care because once he pushed in as far as possible, his head lolled back in bliss. 
Each time Miles hit a specific spot inside me that made me lose my mind, I moaned around Lyle which stimulated him even further. 
“Such a slut for us, huh baby?” Miles said breathily, knowing damn well I couldn’t reply. 
“So good…” Lyle sighed, his eyes watching my lips.
I was being tugged back and forth, and I felt Quaritch’s nails dig into my hip. Their pants and grunts were sending shivers down my body and I felt my legs start to shake. 
“Who’s fucking you this good, sweetheart?” Miles asks, speeding up his ruthless pace. I moan around Lyle in response, squeezing my eyes shut. 
Lyle can’t help himself but push himself a little further into you. It’s been overwhelming from the start and now I can’t restrain a choke, followed by a muffled cough. Quickly, I try to relax my throat and I feel tears stinging in the corners of my eyes. 
I look up pleadingly at Lyle and see how his bottom lip has almost turned white from how hard he is holding it between his teeth. His tail is flicking behind him in satisfaction and his muscles keep flexing. 
I feel Miles’ thrusts go sloppy and he lets go of my hip, his free hand travelling beneath me and almost immediately finding my clit. My eyes shoot open and I whimper. 
He applies pressure to my clit, rubbing it with his middle finger while I can’t stop myself from pressing further into him. 
“That’s it, almost there, baby.” Miles says between clenched teeth, focusing on having me release at the same time as him. 
I hollow my cheeks around Lyle and he groans again, throwing his head back while guiding my head up and down him. The fact that I’m able to take so much of him into my mouth turns him on so much he can’t suppress his climax anymore.
Lyle thrusts forward, holding my mouth firmly close to him while his entire body tenses and he empties himself down my throat. Since he’s so far down, I swallow all of his cum out of reflex. 
Lyle pulls out of me and I manage to finally breathe again. His fingers wipe some spit and cum off my lip as he watches the way my face contorts in pleasure. 
“Sir-” I moan, wanting to let him know I’ll cum soon. Addressing him like that at this moment made his stomach twist in excitement and he continued to pound into me. 
“I know baby, you can let go.” He breathes out, his finger still massaging my clit. He switches his angle again and perfectly hits my G-spot making me cry out. 
I come undone and swear that I can see stars. My mind and vision go blank for a few seconds as I spasm around Quaritch who rides out my high before climaxing. He curses under his breath, both hands gripping my hips as he thrusts himself as deep into me as possible and stills his movements. 
The Colonel’s muscles flex and his head falls back while he releases his cum deep into me, having it mix with Mansk’s. 
Lyle had zipped his pants up again, and was holding my head up with his hand, grinning at the way my eyes rolled to the back of my head. 
I hear a sigh behind me and Miles slowly pulls out and I start losing balance. My body starts tipping to one side but both men hold me steadily again before I can fall. 
“You still with us, Buttercup?” Lyle asks, chuckling when he sees my glossy eyes. I’m completely fucked out and they know it.
I nod, with a small cough and a sniffle. He wipes a few tears away, caressing my cheek again. My bra was adjusted down again and after Miles dressed himself, he helped me back into my underwear and pants. 
Mansk helped me to my feet while the other two adjusted their belts and picked up their weapons. I was leaning against him, my head pressed against his arm while I tried to regain my senses in reality. 
“You doin’ okay, pretty?” Mansk asks, his hand comfortingly rubbing up and down my back. I gently nod, sniffling a little again and rubbing my eye. I was so exhausted. 
“We’re headin’ back. We reassemble the squad and then return to base.” Miles orders and both soldiers nod. He walks up to me, smiling when I look up at him. 
“You did good, sweetheart. Can ya’ manage?” he asks, wondering whether I will be able to walk home. I tiredly nod, and he returns it before leading the way. Mansk guides me, letting me lean on him whenever I have to while Lyle walks at the back, to ensure our safety. 
Even though I was still in a rather scary and unfamiliar environment, to be completely honest, I don’t think I’ve ever felt safer in my entire life.

alone with you - l.m.
Liam Mairi x reader part two of Liam and Spark's story. words: 3.0k 🏷: Fourth Wing spoilers (spark knows things that Violet doesn't lmao), sparring and a tiny bit of blood, reader gets injured but not to worry, someone takes care of you. no pronouns used for reader but Liam does call you a girl. Tuile being a bitch (wbk) and perhaps some answers about what happened in spark's first year at basgiath... I'm still not good at writing fight scenes, sorry lol
Another year, another round of challenges. Another opportunity to show the entire quadrant that you’re not here to fuck around, nor to make friends.
You loosen your muscles as Emeterrio discusses the rules of engagement, cracking your neck and stretching out your arms, taking mental inventory of all the weapons on your body -- even though it’s frowned upon to use them in these fights, you keep the array of knives at the ready.
“I see the general’s girl has survived the week,” Tuile muses. “I’m almost impressed.”
You cast a glance across the room, seeing her standing next to the cadet who was in front of her in line for Parapet, the one she’d traded boots with.
“It’s only a matter of time,” you mutter back. 
Even though Xaden had convinced the two dozen of you to leave her alone, it’s likely that somebody else is going to see how fragile she is and walk right up and snap her in two, to thin the herd -- not that she has a real chance of making it to threshing anyway, not without some divine intervention.
But she’s a perfect little Navarrian citizen, so she must pray to their gods every night before bed. Maybe they’ll help her, because you sure as hell won’t; you have a reputation to maintain, and there’s no rational explanation you could give her for why you would want to help her at all, not without jeopardizing the entire revolution -- she might not take after her traitorous older brother, who as far as she and everyone else in this death trap of a college is aware, is dead.
She seems to notice you watching her, locking eyes with you for a split second and quickly averting her gaze. She’s afraid of you and all of your friends, unaware that your respect for Brennan is what’s keeping her alive right now.
Fear is a requirement for survival here. Maybe she’ll make it longer than you’d thought.
It’s not a surprise to you at all that your name is called first, nor that you’re matched with the largest cadet in the class. It became clear to you last year that the professors aren’t making these assignments randomly. It couldn’t be a coincidence that they keep pairing you with the best fighters -- but never with another marked one, even though you’re all at the top of the class.
No, they’re probably entertained by all of this, betting on you like racehorses or wild dogs, placing wagers on who would come out on top. If anyone’s putting money on you, you’ve made them a killing -- you’re undefeated. 
But that would require someone else to bet against you, and while you may not respect all of the professors and leadership, or any of them, really, you don’t think they’re dumb enough to throw their money away like that.
“We meet again,” he says with a sick grin that makes the scar below his eye stretch and contort.
You don’t respond, taking one last survey of the seven blades on your body, but you’re not dumb enough to touch them, lest he see where they are and try to take them himself, like he did earlier this year.
He’d wrapped his fingers around the wooden hilt of the blade that Liam had given you before you left for Basgiath, intent on putting it through your heart, and you’d seen red.
“You should have taken his eye out.”
“I gave him that scar as a warning,” you reply evenly. “It’s up to him if he’s going to heed it or not.”
You’re at it as soon as Emeterrio says go, taking turns lunging at each other and blocking attacks.
You’re evenly matched, despite the size he has on you. He may be stronger, more intimidating, but you’re faster, and you know what you’re doing. You know where to hit and when, your strikes much more precise than his.
Still, Liam’s heart races.
It was one thing watching you mess around with Bodhi in the courtyard, but it’s another thing entirely seeing you fight as if your life depends on it -- and it does. There’s a very real possibility that one of you is going to be spending the evening in the infirmary, or the morgue, after this ends. 
You fight like Xaden, like himself and Bodhi and Imogen and everyone else his brother had a hand in training, but with an edge he’s never seen from you before.
He hesitates to put a name to it, but there’s something in your eyes akin to a wild animal’s as the pair of you stalk circles around each other, planning your next attack.
“It’s not polite to play with your food,” Tuile chides.
Fine. You’ll finish this, if only so she’ll shut up and leave you alone.
The other cadet has the same idea. 
You charge at the same time as he hurls a dagger in your direction, and you hit the ground at the last second to avoid being skewered. You start to press up to your feet, but he stomps a boot into your back, pain ripping down your spine. You swallow a scream, digging your nails into the sticky foam beneath you.
The mental wall separating you from Tuile crumbles, that familiar white-hot anger flowing through you. “Do something.”
You unsheath a dagger, reaching up and swiping it across his calf, and he hisses in pain, releasing you and taking a stumbling step back.
It’s easy enough for you to knock him off balance, landing three consecutive blows to his ribs and a swift kick to his stomach that sends him to the floor.
You’re tired of this already. It’s lost its novelty, and you really need to sit down -- there’s black spots clouding your vision, and the pain in your back has gotten impossibly worse.
“Do I have to kill you in front of the kids, or do you yield?” 
“I yield,” he rasps, still clutching his leg.
You lean down, wiping each side of the blade on his shirt before you sheath it.
“Sloppy, but satisfactory,” Tuile comments — that’s high praise from her. Maybe she’ll give you the evening off from her snide remarks.
You slot yourself between Liam and Bodhi, leaning against the wall as casually as you can; every movement has pain spreading across your lower back and shooting down your spine. 
You try to focus on rebuilding the wall she’d knocked down, brick by brick, taking deep breaths and forcing the anger out of your body.
Liam reaches for you, looking worried.
You speak under your breath, not moving your lips. “Not here. Not in front of everyone.” 
He pulls back without protest, understanding why you don’t want him helping you where the rest of the quadrant can see you, don’t want them to see the look of concern on his face and his hand on your arm and identify him as your weakness.
You may very well be the most hated person in the quadrant, being marked, bonded to one of Navarre’s nastiest dragons, and unafraid to draw blood in challenges. There are several cadets in this room who wouldn’t hesitate to go after Liam if they thought it would hurt you -- and it would. 
You don’t care what they do to you, what pain they inflict or what scars they leave on your body, but if anyone so much as touches Liam, they’ll lose the use of their hands. 
You breathe through the pain and keep your eyes on the fights unfolding in front of you; making note of who favors what side of their body, who gets sloppy after more than a minute, who yields because they don’t have the stomach to take things further.
Most of the cadets think this is the one class you don’t have to study for, but they’d be wrong -- there’s a reason you always come out on top, and this is it.
The class ends without Liam’s name being called, which is a relief, even though you don’t doubt his skill on the mat — it’s off the mat that you’re worried about. 
Almost everyone heads straight to dinner, but Liam hangs back, getting your attention with a barely-there touch to your elbow. You look over at him, and he nods in the other direction, toward the dorms. 
Of course he’s going to insist on checking your injuries himself, as he always did in the years you trained with him and Xaden. He doesn’t seem to think anything has changed between you in the year you’ve been away.
Sooner or later, he’ll realize he’s wrong.
You wait for nearly everyone to be out of the gym before you leave, leading him up to the second floor in silence and unlocking your door with a wave of your hand, gesturing him inside -- thankfully there’s nobody in the hallway to see you.
You haven’t been alone with him in a full year. A year and two weeks, if you want to be precise. The day you’d said goodbye, and nothing else.
You busy yourself with digging through your desk drawer to find the nearly-empty tin of healing balm, handing it to him before you turn away, gritting your teeth as you pull the shirt up over your head. 
If you weren’t pouring every ounce of energy you have left into keeping yourself upright, you might have it in you to be embarrassed about the amount of skin you’re exposing to him, the history of your first year at Basgiath on full display. But it’s Liam. Liam isn’t going to judge you, isn’t going to pry; he’ll just keep giving you that soft, concerned look -- which is somehow almost worse.
There’s a moment of quiet as he takes it in; the dark blue, nearly-black silhouette of Tuile that spans your shoulder blades and continues down your back, disappearing into the layers of thick linen wrapped over your chest, the full extent of your rebellion relic, winding down your arm to your wrist… 
Then he sees it, the nasty bruise starting to form on your back, below the hem of your bindings. The other cadet had hit you square in the spine, a blow that could very well have been paralyzing had it been delivered at a slightly different angle with slightly more force. That’s probably what he’d intended.
Liam isn’t particularly religious -- none of you are, which was a major reason why your parents had wanted to secede from Navarre -- but he still sends up a silent thank you to the powers that be that you’re okay, standing in front of him mostly unharmed.
You grit your teeth, keeping your eyes shut and gripping the shirt tightly as Liam’s hand rubs over your back, working in the healing balm. 
There’s something about the feeling of his skin on yours that is more uncomfortable than the aching bruise or any of the other injuries you’d sustained in that fight. 
You can handle the brush of your hands, a touch through layers of clothing and armor, eye contact and whispered words and smiles — all things that are acceptable behavior between friends — but the tenderness of this whole thing is overwhelming; being alone with Liam in your room, his bookbag on the floor, standing behind you rubbing a hand over your back, the other on your waist to hold you steady because you’re fucking trembling.
Maybe you are a little embarrassed after all.
The skin feels warm and tingly, a sign that whatever healing herbs within the sticky paste are working, soothing the aching muscle. Your entire body feels warm. It’s unbearably hot in this room, but Liam doesn’t seem to mind, still dressed in his flight jacket and full uniform. 
He moves his attention from your back to your side, murmuring a soft apology when you startle at the feeling of his hand smoothing over your ribs.
You take a breath, letting him work more of the balm into the spot where the other cadet’s fist had landed.
He finally pulls back, letting his hand linger on your waist until he’s convinced you won’t fall over. “Anything else hurting?” he asks gently.
“My head,” you admit to the wall. “But that never goes away.”
You pull the shirt back on as quickly as you can, done feeling exposed, and fight to maintain an unaffected expression as you turn back to face him.
He looks at you for a few seconds before it dawns on him -- the persistent headache, the flatness of your skin and your constantly racing heart, the way you’re bracing yourself with a hand on the desk, how tired you look and feel… “Spark, when was the last time you had water? Or anything to drink at all?”
Liam has always been too observant for his own good. 
You take a moment to think about it, another definite indicator that something is wrong. “Yesterday,” you answer quietly. “At dinner.” 
His eyes widen almost imperceptibly. It’s been a full twenty-four hours -- you’re supposed to be at dinner right now. It’s a miracle that you hadn’t passed out on the mat this afternoon.
He doesn’t scold you, doesn’t tell you how bad that is; he just squeezes your hand gently, taking the water bottle out of his bag and uncapping it. He can see you hesitating, knows something is wrong --  it takes a lot to rattle you, but you’re looking at the thing like it’s going to bite you.
“Three sips?” he asks softly.
That seems doable.
You take the bottle from him, holding it for a moment, feeling the weight of the metal and the energy flowing through the water inside it. It’s clean, calm, not murky and angry like the river water that Carr had made you practice with last year, but that doesn’t matter; in your hands, it’s the most dangerous substance on the planet.
And as fate would have it, it’s necessary for your survival.
You’re just grateful Tuile is off doing gods-know-what and not making her usual smug commentary -- she’d left after you’d won that challenge match, but she’ll be back soon enough. 
You raise it to your lips and drink, wanting to get it over with. The water is cool and crisp, breathing life back into your mouth and soothing your throat as you swallow, your body singing in relief as you give it what it’s been deprived of for months now. 
You take a moment to breathe, comforted by the air that continues to flow into your lungs and back out. Liam is standing in front of you. You’re okay. Two more. You can do this.
You bring it back up for another sip. You hadn’t realized how much you needed this, how much better it would make you feel. You take the next one in quick succession — that’s three. You’re done. 
You hate to admit it, but you feel better already.
Liam is still watching you with that soft, worried expression, though it’s less severe now than it had been earlier. You can see the gears turning, knowing he’s wondering why this was such a big deal for you; but there’s no judgment there, just genuine concern for your well-being.
You decide to tell him the truth, or part of it.
“I almost drowned when I channeled for the first time,” you say quietly, gazing back down at the half-empty bottle. “It was fucking terrifying. I couldn’t shower alone for a week. I needed one of the girls to come into the bathroom with me and face the wall, just talking to me the whole time. Then we realized Bo can counter signets. He’s been helping me control it, but…”
So that’s what Xaden had meant when he said that Bodhi was helping you deal with things. He wonders if there’s anything else his brother hadn’t told him, anything you aren’t telling him, but he won’t demand an answer from you -- he knows how difficult it must have been for you to tell him what you did, and he won’t push you further.
He takes the bottle back and caps it, gathering you into his arms silently, the way he’d wanted to back in the gym. He’s careful not to put any pressure on the injury, keeping his hands well above the bruise -- one between your shoulder blades and one on your ribs, on the side that you hadn’t been hit.
You rest your head on his shoulder, speaking in a whisper. “Thank you, Li.”
His lips brush over your hairline, where the ache is the worst. “Of course, sweet girl.”
You don’t want to let go of him yet, but you’ve already been holding each other longer than is appropriate for friends -- and that’s all you are, for the time being. 
He finally pulls away, and you could nearly cry at the loss of contact. 
“I need a minute,” you manage. “You should head down.”
You’re reminded again of why you love him so much as he nods in understanding, shouldering his bag and giving you a soft smile before he heads out your door.
All good things must come to an end. 
“Sweet? He must not know you at all.” 
“He knows me better than you ever will,” you snap back. 
At least she waited for him to leave, for you to be done with the water, or you would have some serious explaining to do.
You build up the wall again before she replies, and though it isn’t strong enough to block her out completely, she doesn’t push against it or knock it down -- she must not feel like getting into a pissing match with you right now. 
Good. You don’t either.
You notice he left the bottle on your desk. You manage another three sips before you finally head down to dinner, where you slide into the open seat beside Liam, silently pushing the empty bottle toward him. 
“I’m proud of you,” he whispers, not wanting to draw any attention from the group around you, who are all immersed in hearty conversation.
You haven’t heard those words from anyone in a long time. They mean more to you than he could ever imagine.

blood donor | 🔞
; optional female lead smut |  ☁️
w: vampire!au, biting, blood
It shouldn’t surprise you when you find your roommate with her teeth buried into a stranger’s neck when you come home from an extra long shift at work, but it does anyway. It shouldn’t surprise you that she doesn’t look alarmed when you walk in on her sucking the life out of some poor soul who probably thought he was going to get laid and be on his way because it’s far from new, but it does.
It always does, and to say you’re fed up with her bringing her dinner home to play and eat in your living room would be an understatement. The least she could do is go to her own room, you think just as you’re huffing and shaking your head, and her poor meal is seconds away from not seeing the next sunrise.
“Look, I know I’m not supposed to bring my food here, but-”
“Don’t say that,” you interrupt her while she is chasing you down to explain herself. You barely had enough energy to roll your eyes and bitch her out as she shuffled her nearly lifeless dinner out of your apartment, but you should have known rooming with a vampire would lead to such things. “Don’t call him food. He has a name, probably a family, maybe kids. Who knows?”
“Sorry,” she replies with a pout, blood-soaked lips protruding and you wish she didn’t look so cute as she apologizes because she’s a man-eating vampire after all.
Not that you would ever have to fear for your life when it comes to her. You’ve known her for far too long and made a promise when she moved in that your blood was off limits. Which it’s why it’s so easy to cross your arms over your chest, shake your head, and huff in annoyance while arguing with her in your bedroom. Sure, she could rip you apart if she truly wanted to have things her way, but she has always respected you more than the lousy humans she brings home to feast on and she promised, when you first met her, she would never do anything to harm you.
“The bar I found him at was closing and I was so hungry.” Of course, that’s about the only promise she’s ever kept. Clearly the rules of your home, which include not draining the life out of someone when you’re around, mean nothing to her, as well as the times you’ve woken up to a nearly dead stranger on your couch and one night-stands with bloody necks scrounging through your fridge for milk. “Please don’t be mad.”
From the way she pouts and uses her wide, glistening puppy dog eyes at you, it’s hard to believe she could be so vicious and bloodthirsty. You don’t even bother asking how she lured the man into your home. Charming him, hypnotizing him, or maybe even bashing him over the head and dragging his lifeless body could all be options and you’re far too tired for one of her crazy explanations.
“Fine. Whatever. Just don’t do it again, okay?” You sigh, peeling your dirty scrubs from your body to leave you in your underwear, wanting to wash up and rest after a busy night at the hospital you work at. You gather your clothes to toss in the washer as she follows, not even concerned with the blood drying on the sides of her mouth or her white t-shirt now stained red.
“You’re the best human, you know that?” she asks as she grins.
“Mhm,” you hum with sarcasm, slamming the lid of the washer once you added enough soap before making your way to the bathroom in the hall. “Why do I put up with you? It’s beyond me sometimes.”
“Not too sure,” she giggles nervously, handing you a fresh towel after you’ve turned on the shower, “but I’m glad you do.”
***
Your alarm wakes you the next morning with a harsh buzzing in your ear, causing you to groan and wish you were able to get more sleep between shifts. It doesn’t help when you come home expecting to wind down before bed with some peace and quiet, but end up arguing with her over her dinner. Not to mention it’s difficult to get the images of her nearly departed guest out of your mind and it only makes it worse when she is desensitized to all the blood and death.
Still, you try to understand her while remembering there are major differences between vampires and humans you decided to ignore when agreeing to be roommates. Even if a few rules are broken, it’s hard to remain upset when you see her figure curled up on the couch when you shuffle to the living room half-awake. You rub your sleepy eyes to focus on her dozing off while watching late night reruns of a show she’s seen a hundred times before. There’s only a few times she looks peaceful enough for you to almost forget the undead, blood-drinking being she really is, and if it weren’t for the daylight beginning to peek through the curtains, you would leave her be.
“It’s almost morning, sleepy head,” you whisper in her ear after making your way toward her. A hand rises to brush the long strands of black hair from her face, taking in her fluttering eyes and puffy cheeks once she looks up at you. “Go get in your coffin before the sun comes up.”
She frowns in an instant and you can’t help but to giggle at your own joke. “You know I don’t sleep in a coffin.” She huffs and pushes herself from the couch.
“Well you won’t be sleeping at all if you’re dust the moment the sun rises. Go to bed. I have to get ready for my shift.”
“Another shift?” She groans and wipes her eyes as you nod your head.
“Yup,” you tell her with a sigh. “And it’s going to be worse considering it’s Halloween and there’s going to be more accidents than we can keep up with.”
“When will you be home?” she asks as she follows you to the bathroom, watching you grab your toothbrush from its holder to apply a minty toothpaste.
“Working a double tonight. So… really late.” Even the mention of your long shift ahead has your legs and feet aching, but at least the pay is good and the promise of a Halloween pizza party at work with candy and dessert make it not so terrible. The thought of food, however, has you remembering the night before all over again. “Make sure to eat before I get home,” you tell her, watching the bashful way she bites her lip as she leans against the door frame.
“Yeah, yeah.” Her shoulders slump, watching you reflection in the mirror as you brush your teeth. “I promised I wouldn’t bring food home anymore, didn’t I?”
You can’t help but to laugh with your mouth full of toothpaste due to her expression, bottom lip pouting and her gaze falling to her feet.
“Go to sleep!” you tell her, pointing toward her bedroom with toothbrush in hand. “Dust! Remember?”
She giggles right along with you, but she nods and follows your orders by heading to bed while you continue getting ready for your shift.
***
When you returned home from work, you half expected her to not have kept her promise. You didn’t want to be surprised again, even though there’s no doubt you are a bit shocked each and every time she forgets that you’re human and you’re not used to seeing her feeding on someone. You brace yourself as you open your front door, expecting to see another bloody neck or her in pure bliss from feeling so full. You even expected another naked house guest rummaging through your fridge, and so you braced yourself for that as well. Just in case.
What you didn’t expect was to see her all alone, flipping through the TV channels in the dark with a dazed look on her face. You aren’t sure if the circles under her eyes or the pout on her lips is out of boredom or something else, but you step to her with caution, bracing yourself for the reasoning as well.
You call her name, and she doesn’t even move an inch. The TV remains on some boring scary movie playing just for Halloween, but from the dead look in her eyes, it’s clear she’s not paying attention. “What’s wrong?”
“Hungry,” she responds, the words falling from her lips in more of a growl than her actually speaking. “Streets were too busy and full of kids. Parties were too big, too many witnesses. I couldn’t find anyone to feed on.”
With that, you settle next to her, never having seen her look as such with her hair a bit messy, as if she has been fidgeting with the strands for a while, and a lost gaze on her face. Though, you’ve never seen her when she has gone without feeding on someone, and the thought makes your heart race in your chest.
“What about the blood in the fridge?” you suggest, remembering how you bought the synthetic blood substitute she swears is the nastiest thing she’s ever tasted. Still, it has kept her from going into a frenzy when she couldn’t find anyone to feed on.
“All out,” is all she replies, sinking deeper into the couch as if she’s grown too weak for even a conversation.
“Are you sure you couldn’t find anyone? Maybe when the kids are done trick-or-treating? Less witnesses then.” For her being a bloodthirsty, and at times vicious vampire when she’s hungry, she’s always made an attempt to never hurt children. In fact, her targets are often loners, and she never drains anyone completely dry. You have to give her credit for trying hard to still live an honest life, though you aren’t sure the act of drinking blood is very moral to begin with, but those are the cards she was dealt when she was turned. “Maybe there’s still one of those sketchy stores still open that sell the blood? Do you want to go with me to check?”
“Nah, too late and I know you’re tired from your shift. No point in walking across town.” With that, she huffs, flipping off the TV and standing from the couch to make her way to the bedroom. “I’ll just feed tomorrow night, I guess.”
You’re quick on your feet to follow her. “What happens if you don’t feed for a while?”
“I grow weak,” she answers as she sinks into her bed, showing you exactly how weak she’s become already. “It becomes painful the longer I go. I lose strength and it becomes harder to charm or hypnotize people while I feed. Basically I become a pathetic, weak human… like you.”
“Well do you get grumpy, too? Because that was a little mean and unnecessary.” You frown as you make your way to her, having a seat on her bed while she chuckles softly at your reaction to the playful insult. “Well… what if…”
Your voice fades, thoughts of how to help her racing through your mind. In the end, you only come to one solution, though it’s a risky one and one she promised would never happen in the first place. However, seeing her in such a condition has your heart aching. You don’t want her to be a lifeless zombie, even if she is already dead, and slightly grumpy. You definitely don’t want to see her in pain if she waits any longer.
“What if you feed off of me?” As you offer the suggestion, she pops up from her position on the bed. Her brows raise, eyes growing wide for a second before she settles, the idea suddenly causing her to lick her lips.
But she shakes her head a moment later. “No way,” she begins to turn you down, “no, we can’t do that.”
“Why not?” You turn your body to face her, a frown forming on your lips. “Is my blood not good enough? And it’s just once, what’s the harm?”
“Don’t say stupid stuff,” she argues, causing your jaw to slack. “It’s not your blood, it’s the fact that we live together. There’s a reason I go find strangers I’ll never see again to feed off of.”
“And that is?” You cross your arm, taking offense to the way she turns you down.
“Because I’ll never see them again, dummy!” She groans and shakes her head, grabbing her stomach while she does so and you wonder just how hungry she’s gotten. “That’s taking a big risk to let me taste your blood and still have to live with you.”
“Why?” you challenge her with a raised chin.
“Once I taste you, I…” She stalls, looking away as her fingers dig into her sweatshirt at just the thought of drinking from you. “Once I taste you, I can’t promise I won’t want more. I’d rather just wait until tomorrow night and find someone I don’t know.”
“Then drink from me tonight and go find someone new tomorrow. What’s so hard about that?”
You barely get time to finish the sentence before you hear her growl. In an instant, she’s pouncing you, pushing your back to the bed with a fierce grip on your shoulders. Her legs fall to each side of your body as she holds you down, baring each sharp point of her fangs while remaining an inch from your face.
“Why are you such a stupid human sometimes?”
“Wh-What?” you stutter, never looking away from her darkened eyes or desperate expression. “I want to help. I don’t want you to be in pain.”
“See? Stupid.” She huffs, and a few seconds later she pulls away from your body to release you from her hold. “You would risk your life just because you care for me?”
“I’m not risking my life.” As you rise from her bed and she settles in the spot next to you, you have to chuckle. “It’s one time. I’m not scared of you. Plus, I know you like me too much to endanger me.” With that, you nudge her arm, causing her to roll her eyes, but she can’t hold back the laugh that falls from her lips.
“You really are a dumb human.” She sighs, contemplating the offer in her head for a few more moments. “Fine, I’ll drink from you. But if I take too much, tell me to stop, yell my name, or… I don’t know, stab me in the heart with a wooden stake.”
“Does that really work?” you question, watching her bite her bottom lip and shake her head.
“No, honestly it would just piss me off.”
You giggle while beginning to lift your shirt over your head, finally realizing you never even changed out of your work clothes after your shift. Since you arrived home, your focus was entirely on her while trying to make sure she was okay. Maybe you like her more than you realized, even if she is a rule breaking vampire.
“Why… why are you undressing?” Suddenly there’s tension between the two of you. It’s clear from the way she averts her gaze, looking anywhere but at you while trying to ignore the fact that you’re in your bra as you begin pushing your pants down your legs.
“I don’t want to stain my shirt in case you’re a messy eater,” you tease her as she begins to groan in embarrassment. “What’s the big deal? You’ve seen me naked before when I rushed out of the shower because I forgot my towel. My underwear should be nothing new.” More giggles fill the space between the two of you to join the tension, and finally she is able to meet your eyes.
“Yeah, but not while I’m feeding from you.” She scoots a little closer while you make sure your neck is open and available for her, tilting your head to one side and noticing the way she licks her lips as her nostrils flare. “Feeding can be an intimate experience, depending on how well you know the person and how close the two of you are.”
“I trust you,” you remind her with a smile, but the hesitation is evident on her face.
“I think you trust me more than I trust me.”
A few moments of awkward silence pass. It’s clear she doesn’t know where to start, and considering this is your first time offering your blood to her, you aren’t too sure, either. It’s another surprise to find her so nervous when normally she has no problems finding her dinner, feeding form them, and sometimes even fucking them if she likes them enough. Now she doesn’t even know what to do with her hands as she begins to reach for you, but quickly shys away only to have her fingers fidgeting in her lap.
“How do you want me?” you finally ask, wanting to make it easier for her.
“I, uh, I don’t know.” She hesitates for another second or two, looking you up and down but her eyes eventually make their way back to your neck. “I’ve never been like this, I’m sorry. I just… I can hear your heart beating, and it makes the scent of your blood stronger. I’ve gone longer than I usually do without feeding. I don’t want to cross the line. You mean too much to me to offend you, or hurt you, or worse.”
Maybe her hunger has her being a bit more honest. Maybe it’s the nerves, you aren’t sure. All you know is you have never seen her so awkward and hesitant with feeding before, and you realize it’s up to you to take control.
“How’s this?” you ask just you lay flat against her bed. Your head settles on her pillow, realizing it’s softer than your own and maybe you’ll have to borrow it once this is all said and done. You inhale a sharp breath, feeling the nerves just the same as the scent of her shampoo lingering over her pillowcase fills your nose. For some reason, it calms you. It reminds you this is the roommate, close friend, you’ve lived with for so long, the one that you can borrow her blankets and she will steal your shampoo just like normal friends. The girl you come home to find watching stupid movies on TV when she’s not feeding off of some stranger and the one you take care of by making sure she’s in bed before sunrise.
“That’s… that’s good,” she tells you with a nod, looking over your body in her bed, wearing nothing but your underwear with your neck exposed, waiting on her fangs to sink into your flesh.
“You don’t have to be worried,” you assure her, tugging on the sleeve of her sweatshirt to pull her closer. “You can touch me. I’m not scared.”
You hear her gulp a second before she leans in. It’s clear she’s holding back, normally having fun and playing with her meals before she feeds, but tonight is different. Tonight there’s history between her dinner and her. Tonight she has to be scared of going too far because she does care, just like a stupid human would and part of her feels embarrassed for allowing emotions to get in the way. Tonight she’s drinking the blood of the only person she’s ever gotten close to and the fact that she’s already so starved means she has to be cautious.
However, you’re there to coax her, to reassure her. You’re there to pull her closer to your neck, feeling her lips brush against the delicate, soft flesh. You’re there to tell her it’s okay, you don’t want her to be in pain.
“Bite me,” you whisper in a shaky breath, “taste me.”
As if she can no longer hold back, she opens her mouth wide to press the points of her fangs against your flesh as she hovers over you. She braces herself with a hand on each side of you and you clench your fists in a tight ball to prepare for the pain.
But she doesn’t bite down. She doesn’t pierce your skin with her fangs and instead, she drags the points ever so slowly across your flesh. The sensation has a chill racing down your spine. Goosebumps form along your skin and you can’t help the gasp that escapes your lips.
“I have to be honest,” she whispers in your ear, her darkened tone causing your heart to beat twice as fast and it only makes it worse when you know she can hear every thump, thump, thump in your chest. “I have wanted to taste you for so long.”
“Y-You have?” You can no longer keep your eyes opened. They snap shut with the words you speak, finding the tension swelling between the two of you, but now it’s different. Now the control has shifted as if the monster within her has awakened.
“Mhm,” she hums, chuckling against your skin before her lips press just beneath your ear. “Maybe I’m too hungry and don’t care anymore, but I wanted you to know before I drink from you. I need you to know how often I thought about this, even though you were off limits. Sometimes I even got off to the thought while I was with someone else.”
You gulp after calling her name, suddenly so breathless listening to her voice dripping with need in every syllable, the words strained on her tongue as if it’s taken everything she has not to devour you. But now you’re not sure, from the things she says, if she wants to taste your blood, or maybe she needs you in other ways.
“I know I’m being selfish right now but if I don’t say this, I never will.” Another kiss against your neck has you trembling beneath her, but it’s hard to ignore the fire she ignites in your body. The heat begins to swell between your thighs as well as an ache that settles deep within your core. “And even though I am absolutely starving, part of me wants to take my time and cherish the moment, feeding from you, the way you taste as your blood drips over my tongue. Because, God, you smell amazing and I know you will taste so damn delicious.”
As she speaks, she has suddenly gained the courage to touch you. Her hand rises to fall against your hip, starting with gentle circles with her thumb over your flesh until she grows greedy, caressing your side, from your hip up to your rib just beneath your breast, and then back down again. You can’t ignore the desire building within you as she does so. As if she’s awakened something in you as well, a need to give yourself to her and if she were to want it, the urge to have her tasting other parts of your body.
The images flash through your mind before you can stop yourself. You imagine her biting into your neck, drinking your blood as her hands wander and roam over your body. It doesn’t take long for the thoughts to shift to envision her mouth in other places, over your chest, your breasts, easing down your stomach until she’s between your thighs. God, how you wish she was between your thighs and the aching that begins to settle deep within you isn’t going away any time soon.
“Please,” you whimper, not even recognizing your own voice from how desperate you’ve grown. “Please, taste me.” Every word trembles off your tongue, and even she can sense the need within your ries.
“Taste you?” she asks as she pulls away, looking down at your shaking frame beneath her. “From the way you beg me… I would assume you mean in other ways.”
“I… I think I do,” you confess, screwing your eyes shut as the heat of embarrassment rushes to your face. “I don’t know why. I just… feel this need within me. I want you to drink from me and I want to give myself to you. I need it or I feel like I’ll go crazy. Is this what being charmed by a vampire feels like?”
“Huh? Charmed?” From her curious tone, your eyes flutter open to see her brows furrowed as she shakes her head. “No, I’m much too weak for that. Plus, I don’t actually charm people to feed from them, only after they agree do I help make it a pleasurable experience if they want it that way. You wouldn’t believe the kinky shit some humans are into. But, no… no, what you’re feeling now is completely… you.”
“So… this feeling…” Your eyes fall from her face, biting your bottom lip and trying to make sense of the desperate heat flooding every inch of your body. Never before have you been so turned on, so attracted to her. It’s true you often thought she was cute, but her thirst for blood and the fact that she is hundreds of years old and has no actual heartbeat has always kept you in check. Now, you aren’t so sure you mind.
“I told you,” she says with a sigh, gripping her stomach to make it clear the hunger is beginning to get to her, “it’s dangerous for me to taste you.”
You have to believe her now, though you didn’t want to heed the warning. Still, you aren’t sure if it’s her fangs that are dangerous, or the simple fact that from the moment she started, you would have given everything to her. To make it worse, it’s neither charm or hypnosis, but your own desires rising to the surface that you have tried to keep buried. It’s clear now there’s no use in trying to ignore the attraction you feel for your undead roommate, and thoughts of her being in pain still linger in your mind.
“It’s okay,” you tell her, sitting upright to meet her eyes as she settles on her knees before you. “I don’t care what happens. I want you to feed from me. I don’t want you to be in pain and… well, I don’t mind what I feel… if you don’t.”
Upon hearing the words, a devious smirk forms on her lips, a devilish glint in her darkened eyes. “Stupid human,” she teases you, a playful, light-hearted tone causing you to giggle only a second before her lips crash into your own. The kiss is unexpected but it fills your chest with a blossoming warmth that surges to every inch of your body. You can’t help your whimpers that tickle her skin and the chill that courses down your spine from the way she groans against your lips. The desire within you comes alive once again, burning hot, needing her touch, her bite.
You pull her down with you as your back hits the bed. Her hands, still gentle but desperate, grip your thighs, your hips, anywhere she can reach as she deepens the kiss. Trembling fingers slip between the soft strands of her hair, holding her close to you for now though the aching between your thighs returns. You’re hot and flushed and the room begins to spin as anything but reality takes hold. You can’t believe you’re doing this. You can’t believe you’re actually kissing her.
In the moment it feels so right, parting your thighs, allowing her to get comfortable between them. In the moment it feels perfect, and all you want is the pleasure she offers and to feel her fans sink into your flesh.
“Do it,” you tell her the moment you pull away in a gasp. “Bite me. Please.”
The vampire hovering above your trembling, needy frame doesn’t need much more convincing. Inside her is a desire that burns hot all its own. There’s a hunger clawing at her stomach and the scent of your blood mixed with the hint of arousal she can already smell between your thighs begins to drive her wild. She needs you just as much as you need her, and with a quick, final kiss against your lips she promises it will be worth it.
Her mouth trails down your jaw, reaching your neck in seconds and you bare your flesh to tell her it’s all hers. She groans against your skin, hot and needy and much more like an animal than any human you’ve ever known. Her desperation is evident as she licks your neck with a flick of her tongue, then kisses over the thumping of your blood pumping beneath your skin. As she does so, her hands roaming and running wild over your flesh make their way between your quivering legs, gentle fingers caressing over the base of your panties, soaking into the arousal that’s been pooling at your entrance ever since she first began touching you.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” she whispers against your flesh with hesitation, as if she’s scared you’ll turn her away but even more scared of hurting you.
“I’m sure,” you confirm your need to be bitten, to be tasted. “I want this so much, please.”
Another groan fills the air, urgent and demanding to send a shiver through your body. Within seconds you feel the sharp points of her fangs against your neck once again. She presses down, applying a pressure that has your insides shaking, buzzing with nerves, hoping it doesn’t hurt but hoping even more that you enjoy it because you want it more than anything. Your head tilts back while you feel her fingers continuing to tease your clothed slit, earning whimpers of her names, pleas begging her to bite down.
And it happens all too fast. In a blink of an eye her fangs pierce the delicate flesh, hot crimson spilling into her mouth as she cups your sex with her hand. A gasp spills into the room, feeling the pinch against your neck for only a moment, as quick as getting nothing more than a shot, but then it fades to absolute bliss. A new kind of warmth fills your body, tingling your fingers and toes, making your head dizzy and you would swear you were floating if she wasn’t on top of you holding your body in place.
With her hand diving deeper between your thighs, she peels back your panties so her flesh meets your slit, and you can’t resist moaning in pleasure from feeling her fingers caress your folds. A whimper of her name spills from your lips, feeling her sucking on your neck but it feels like nothing more than gentle foreplay. She’s careful, cautious, taking her time drinking from you even though the room is spinning and she’s burying a finger deep inside your dripping heat.
“God,” you cry out, eyes rolling in pure ecstasy and you grind your soaked slit into her hand. “That feels so… so fucking good, oh my God.”
You think you hear a chuckle against your neck, but it’s hard to comprehend thanks to the bliss filling every inch of your body. From her teeth in your neck to her hand between your thighs, you couldn’t imagine a more perfect feeling in the moment. She teases your slit, switching from pumping in two digits now, before caressing up to your swollen and achy clit to offer and a few slow, steady circles, earning moans of her name that beg her not to stop.
Seconds later, she pulls away from your neck with a gasp, blood dripping from the sides of her mouth and a wild expression on her face. Her eyes have darkened as black as midnight but there’s a fire, a desperate need to have you, burning within them. She licks her lips with a moan, staring down at your disheveled appearance, but she doesn’t stop offering pleasure between your thighs. She buries her two fingers deep within you, curling them because she’s decided you’re cute and irresistible when you whimper her name. A smirk crosses her bloody lips as she does so, watching how you wiggle your hips to get more, how your head falls back and your jaw slacks, how your fingers dig into the sheets beneath you while curses slip from your tongue.
“Fuck, you’re so fucking sexy,” she tells you with a giggle, leaning closer to lick up the blood coating your neck. The sensation has you moaning all over again, mixing with the bliss filling your body from her hand between your legs. “And you taste so delicious. Lucky I like you as much as I do or I would drain you fucking dry.”
From her playful, taunting tone you know she means no harm, but you can’t imagine caring either way. Not when she is making you feel as good as you do. Now when the heat of pleasure is swelling to every limb and the tension begins to tighten in the pit of your stomach. Though you feel weak from her feeding from you, you’re in a state of absolute satisfaction, and you haven’t even gotten off yet.
“Though, I am curious,” she begins again, slinking down the bed until her face is only inches from where he hand is playing, “how you taste in another place.”
“Another… place?” you begin to whimper, peering down at her bloody lips beginning to stain your white, cotton panties as she leaves kisses over your mound. Her fingers remain buried in your warmth, curled and teasing your g-spot enough to have your knees trembling.
“God, all I want to do is eat you out and taste your juices as you come on my tongue.”
Her words leave you shivering, anticipating what she wishes to do as the images of the act flood your mind. It’s just like before, except now she’s fed from you, she’s a mess, and you’re already so wet and dripping on her fingers, dying to come undone, that you could never tell her no.
“Please,” you whisper, head falling back against the pillow as she begins to pull your panties down your hips. “I want you to. I need to come.”
With that, she groans and tosses the flimsy cotton aside. She leans in, kissing your inner thigh, your bare mound, leaving marks of your blood over your skin with prints of her lips. Though you don’t mind getting a little messy if it means more pleasure, especially if she is so willing and eager. Your thighs fall open, inviting her in to your glistening, soaked slit that makes her moan with need. She’s dying to have you, to taste you again, to make you come. It’s clear in the way she wastes no time, slipping her tongue between your folds to gather your sweet essence, swallowing every drop with a satisfied hum.
“Fuck, you taste better than I imagined,” she tells you with a chuckle. You are far from giggling or laughing, however, feeling the need burning deeper and hotter than before, aching with desire and dying to come. “I thought about this so much… tasting you like this, eating your pussy and watching you come for me.”
Her words leave you breathless as she licks from your entrance to your clit, stopping at the swollen bud to tease in circles. A gasp fills her bedroom just as she presses the flat of your tongue to your flesh, massaging your clit to have your thighs tightening around her. She keeps them parted with two harsh hands, gripping them tight and digging her nails into your flesh. Then she carries on, teasing your slit, licking your clit, trailing down to your entrance to gather more of your juices just to taste.
You cry out, hips rolling and back arching. “Don’t tease me. I wanna come.”
She chuckles at that. “I never knew you were so needy.” Then she kisses your sex, again and again until she reaches your clit to wrap her lips around to suck for a moment. Your body tenses beneath the bliss, on edge and ready for release. When she pulls away, she does so with a giggle that tells you she enjoys teasing you and watching you get worked up. “It’s kinda hot, if I’m being honest. I like when you whimper my name and beg me.”
The stubborn side of you is tempted to withhold your pleas and moans because she’s enjoying it so much, but the rest of you that is aching and hot and wants to come has you giving in to her. “Please.” It’s hard to ignore that side of you when you admit you like it just as much. “Will you let me come?”
The question has her growling, clearly affected more than either of you want to admit. She doesn’t hesitate burying her head between your thighs once again, licking up your slit, pleasuring your clit as she massages up and down with her tongue. She has you on edge, burning up with desire and the need for release. Your body begins to tremble because you’re already so close. You feel the heat swelling to your cheeks, the tension building between your thighs that makes every motion of hers absolute bliss.
Then you feel the first rush of red hot pleasure erupting from your core to surge through your body. Your back arches as a gasp escapes your lips, crying out in bliss as you come undone. She continues tending to your clit, tasting the juices that spill over just for her, moaning between your thighs while never taking her eyes off of you. Your face twisted in pleasure with a furrowed brow and slacked jaw. Soft, desperate moans fall from your lips as you grip the sheets beneath you, all before your entire body goes limp.
Breathlessly you lay there as she gathers your juices over her tongue. She cleans you up, keeping her promise of wanting to taste you in every way, never getting enough of your sweet honey dripping out. You whimper a bit more, soft and quiet, from being too sensitive, and finally she pulls away with a mouth not only glistening from the blood where she bit you, but also your release.
“That was…” She begins to crawl up to you, kissing your lips once before nuzzling into your neck. “...so fucking hot.” Tiredly, you chuckle at her words, eyes fluttering close as the sleepiness from losing blood and an amazing orgams sets in. “Want me to get you a washcloth to clean up? Or some water? Maybe food? You’re going to be a bit tired for a while so you’ll need to regain your energy, so maybe I can throw one of those disgusting, frozen pizzas in the oven you like so much.”
Her care and worry has you smiling, but you turn it down with a shake of your head. “No, not yet,” you tell her, wrapping an arm around her to pull her close as she kisses the two bite marks on your neck, hoping they will heal quickly. “Just lay here like this with me for a bit.”
“Of course,” she agrees with a shy smile, and then her voice falls to a soft whisper on your ears. “I always imagined it being like this.”
You can’t hold back a grin as she giggles softly. Now you realize maybe she’s not the only one that has thought about being together, and maybe that’s the reason being with her feels so perfect.

why are alicent stan’s so gleeful about what the show has done to her character? book-wise she was an antagonistic, ambitious, manipulative woman who knew exactly what she wanted and how to get it; versus the show, where she has been turned into a constant victim to the men around her with no autonomy or agency what-so-ever. whether it’s otto, viserys, aegon, larys, she’s been reduced to a hypocritical, bitter, puppy-eyed woman with no want for anything in her own life; just a doll to be played around with and eventually discarded.
instead of being the calculating and intelligent woman who dog walks viserys up until his death (and even after) she's now his victim because of the decision to age her down to 15 rather than 18 like her canon age, and in turn age viserys up in order to further emphasize the age-gap and power dynamics. she is portrayed as an abusive mother on screen (physically and mentally to aegon, mentally to helaena and aemond), falling into the 'abused becomes the abuser' trope, which is a rather harmful stereotype. she told aegon that he would be king, but then began having 'second thoughts' when the actual usurpation took place, of which she apparently had no idea, "am i to understand that members of the small council have been planning secretly to install my son without me?" once again reducing her to a pawn of the men around her. these second thoughts took place because of her apparent 'reconciliation' with rhaenyra, as if a few words and hand holding could ever undue the years she spent undermining rhaenyra and attempting to have her and her children disinherited and shamed (mayhaps even killed due to the bastard rumors). she is now a victim to larys as well. larys, despite his lower standing than her THE QUEEN, is able to 'manipulate' her into doing sexual favors for him in order for her wishes to be granted. she has no control over the men around her and no respect from any of them because they know she is willing to bend over backwards to please them. she openly admits that she knew her father had been manipulating her for years, and she still fed into his bullshit. she only wants aegon to be king due to her 'misunderstanding' the words of a drugged up and dying man (and it being HIS 'wish' for aegon to succeed him, not hers). her only want in the show is 'to make a window in the wall of her prison.'
the greens were named for HER in the book. not aegon. not otto. not house hightower. her.
“the beacon on the hightower, do you know what color it glows when oldtown calls it’s banners to war?”
“green.”
except that it doesn’t in canon. house hightower’s only set color is grey, and their only beacon is the regular depiction of red and orange fire. there is no green to be scene anywhere to represent the hightower’s or oldtown or their beacon. the color green didn't have any meaning to her. alicent chose it for herself. she wasn’t ’showing off her allegiance to her father and house after being scorned by the targaryens’ it was a political statement that she CHOSE TO MAKE for herself. she was the leader of team green and was the main culprit in usurping rhaenyra and crowning aegon. she didn’t do it for her father, or her house, or viserys; she did it for herself, because SHE wanted aegon to be king.
there are ways to add complexities to characters without completely changing everything about them, and what they stand for. alicent might have partially fallen into the evil step-mother trope in the book, but considering it’s a historical account; we have next to no information on how she really feels. they could have deep dived into her feelings regarding the succession, how marrying the king without a male heir should have given her the privilege of being the future king’s mother, instead finding out the harsh reality; that viserys would not remove rhaenyra as heir, and that she was negated to only being the king’s wife and giving him spares. they could have played into how complicated her relationship with rhaenyra is, how angry and self-righteousness she would have felt considering the only reason viserys was made king was due to male preference primogeniture. why she felt the need to isolate and bully a child because of said child's father’s decisions. there were plenty of other roads that the writers could have taken to add actual nuance into alicent’s story, and not just adding in more unnecessary and brutal violence towards women.
all of this to say that aging her down and turning her into nothing more than a abused child-bride was not the way to go to add nuance to her story. women shouldn’t have to be tortured, neglected, raped, abused, etc. in order for the audience to like and feel sympathy for their character. that’s an inherently sexist and abhorrent point of view, and considering how virtue signaling a lot of her fans are it’s not surprising that they’re willing to overlook it for the sake of continuing their poor baby alicent ‘always a victim to the men in her life’ rhetoric; as if that was ever a core part of her character.
what they gave us in house of the dragon was not the real alicent hightower, just a cheaply made original character with alicent’s name slapped on her in place of a discount sticker. hotd's biggest crime was reducing powerful ambitious women to side pieces in the big bad men's war. why do women in this universe have to suffer in order for the audience to feel sympathy for them and their plight? and no, i'm not going to argue with anyone going, "b-but OBVIOUSLY you just don't understand her character uwu," i understand her plenty, thanks.
if you actually like alicent (or any of the women in general) in fire and blood you should be seething in outrage over house of the dragon's portrayal of them.

1980. Very shortly after Y/N joined the Order.
“Dog.” Remus pointed out.
“Dog.”
Y/N and Remus were on a walk in a little London park. 
“I need to pet it so bad.” Y/N said. Remus chuckled, sneaking a glance at her.
And luckily enough, as they walked past the owner, the fluffy golden retriever with a waggy tail proved to be friendly, running over to Y/N and Remus.
“Hi! Hello!” Y/N exclaimed happily as the dog ran up to her, sniffing and licking her legs. “May I pet him?” She looked up at the owner.
“Of course.”
“Oh, you’re so sweet aren’t you— oh!” Y/N giggled, kneeling down and petting the dog, giving him good scratches everywhere and letting him lick her face.
Remus looked down on her with fondness on his face before crouching down beside her to pat the dog’s head.
“Have a great day.” Y/N smiled as they got up. The owner tipped his hat at them, and they walked away from each other.
“Big dog lover, eh?” Remus said.
“Yes.” Y/N smiled. “I just love them so much, they’re so cuddly and happy. They make me feel better every single time.”
“That’s really cute.” Remus said, refraining from saying “you’re”. They had just began being friends, he was way too shy to let his crush on her show just yet.

It was a Tuesday evening in November and a few Order members were gathered at Number 12 Grimmauld Place after a meeting.
“Hey Y/N, you okay?” Remus said as he walked in on Y/N in the living room, laid down on the couch under a blanket.
“Yeah.” Y/N replied. “Just traditional seasonal depression. It makes me want to hole up and do nothing.”
Remus took a seat at her feet. They stayed in silence for a little while until Remus sat up suddenly. “Wait here.”
He went to the kitchen where Sirius was and whispered something in his ear.
A few moments later, a big shaggy black dog burst through the living room, running straight for Y/N.
“Oh my GOD!” Y/N sat up immediately, closing her eyes as the dog jumped on her and started licking her face. “OH MY GOD, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM—“ She squealed out of happiness as he wagged his tail, nuzzling her and happily accepting her scratches.
Remus felt warmth fill his chest and cheeks as Y/N’s hearty loud laugh filled the room. He realized that he loved seeing her happy like this. And he did like that it was his doing.
+
The kitchen was filled with the clunk of glass Butterbeer bottles hitting the table, the crunch of biting into a handful of chips and loud booming voices.
“Y/N, your turn.” Remus said.
“Mkay,” Y/N said, leaning over to pick up a card. She read it, “Question. Have you ever lied to me and if yes, what was the lie? Hmm…. I’m gonna ask it to the both of you, can I do that?”
Sirius shrugged from across the table. “Okay. So a time where both Moony and I have lied to you?”
Y/N nodded, leaning back in her chair. She looked at the two, smiling. “This should be good.”
Remus and Sirius looked at each other, pensively. Remus burst out laughing. “Well, there is a big thing that we’ve been keeping from you…”
“What?” Sirius looked at Remus confusedly. Remus stuck his tongue out and panted, and Sirius threw his head back in laughter upon comprehending. “Okay, yeah, Y/N there is one thing.”
“What?” Y/N asked in anticipation.
“You know that black dog that Remus brings around whenever you’re sad?”
“Yeah…” Y/N raised an eyebrow. This was not where she expected it to go. 
“Well… it’s ME!”
Y/N spat out her drink. “The fuck you mean it’s you?”
“It’s literally me.”
“Shut up.”
Remus was laughing to the point of tears right now.
Sirius stood up, did a little twirl and transformed into the dog. Y/N fell out of her seat.
“WHAT? REMUS JOHN LUPIN, THIS WHOLE TIME THAT DOG YOU’VE BEEN BRINGING IS MOTHERFUCKIN JUST SIRIUS??? SIRIUS?!”
Remus nodded, unable to speak as he wiped the tears of laughter from his face.
“Hold on… SO THAT’S WHY THEY CALL YOU PADFOOT?” Y/N yelled at the dog. Remus let out a howl of laughter. Y/N was under so much shock that she didn’t even think of admitting that she herself was also an Animagus.
Sirius transformed back into human form and come up behind Y/N to hug her.
“I feel so betrayed what—“ Y/N laughed. “I let you sleep on my lap!”
“And you still can, darling.” Sirius winked.
Remus rolled his eyes. 
“What, jealous Moony? Get over here.”
Remus joined his friends on the floor and the three tangled themselves in some sort of three-way hug.
“Guys?”
“Hmm?”
“I love you guys.” Y/N said, voice muffed in their embrace.
“To friendship.”
“To friendship”.
+
Y/N found herself watching Sirius undo his long mane of hair and comb his fingers through the knots before he threw it back into an updo.
“Siri?” She hummed.
“Yes?”
“You have such nice hair.” She complimented him.
He blushed slightly. “Well, thank you lovely.”
He walked out of the kitchen. Remus, who was sitting across the table from Y/N, lifted an eyebrow. He put down his coffee mug and a mischievous smile came upon his lips.
“Dove…”
“Hmm?”
“Can you come here for a sec?” He asked, leaning back in his chair and spreading his legs.
No need to ask twice for that. Y/N hopped up, and took a seat on Remus’ lap.
“What’s up?” She said, throwing her arms around his neck.
“Can I ask you something?” Remus said cheekily, tracing his thumb over the side of her hip. “Do you find Sirius attractive?”
That was not what Y/N was expecting to hear. She looked slightly taken aback. Her cheeks heat up. “He’s your best friend, Remmy!”
Remus shrugged. “I know. I just wanna know. I wouldn’t be offended you know, the opposite even.”
Y/N looked at him weirdly. Remus let out a shy chuckle. “I’ve never admitted this to you but… Sirius and I… we have in the past… occasionally…”
Y/N’s eyes widened.
“WHAT?”
That was even less of what Y/N expected to hear. “I’ve known you for a while now, and I’ve never heard of this!! What else have you not told me?”
“Just this, I promise.” Remus laughed, burying his head in her neck.
Y/N licked her teeth. “Damn. That’s kinda hot.”
“Really?” Remus lifted off her, reading her face for expression.
“Yeah…” Y/N said. She felt herself become shy. “And to answer your question, yeah Siri is cute. But you know you’re the love of my life, Remus.”
Remus smiled broadly. “I know. But it doesn’t mean we don’t get to have any fun, right?”
Y/N swallowed. She felt herself get aroused. And she knew that Remus would be able to smell it. It was a sense that had been permanently changed since his werewolf bite.
He did.
“You like the idea?” He whispered into her ear, hand sliding up between her thighs.
“Yes.” Y/N breathed, closing her eyes.
+
Y/N hummed to herself as she twirled around in her room in a bright red dress that she had just made herself. 
She heard the apartment door open and two pairs of footsteps walk in. It must be Remus with one of the other Marauders.
“Knock knock.” A voice said.
She looked up above her own reflection in the mirror. “Siri!”
Sirius came in and gave her a quick hug. “You’re the only one who calls me that.”
“It’s cute. Do you mind it?”
“No, not at all. What are you all dressed up for?”
“Oh, nothing. Just one of my latest boredom creations.”
Sirius hummed. “It looks nice.”
His gaze was respectful. It always was extremely respectful with Sirius and Y/N. He was like her gay best friend, except he wasn’t gay. At least not fully.
“Thanks.” Y/N smiled. “If I were to go out in this, how would I do my hair?” She pondered, going back to look at the mirror.
“Up. For sure.” Sirius answered.
Y/N gathered her hair up. “Like this?”
“Hmm. Yeah, but— may I?” He asked. She nodded and Sirius made his way to her.
He settled behind her and ran his fingers through her hair to gather it up in a ponytail. His fingers felt soft as they grazed her scalp.
“Like that.” Sirius said, holding the ponytail with one hand as his other came to rest on her bare shoulder. She felt her pulse in her neck dangerously close to where his hand was.
She looked at him in the mirror’s reflection. He met her gaze.
“Well, well, well, what fun are we up to here?”
Remus stepped in the room, jolting Y/N and Sirius apart. He let go of her hair and it came cascading down. 
“Hey!” Y/N whipped around to face him.
Although nothing really out of the ordinary had happened, the energy was different in the room.
“It feels like I’m interrupting something.” Remus chuckled, a hint of cheekiness in his voice.
“Course not.” Sirius said, plopping himself onto Y/N’s bed.
“I was just showing Pads my newest project.” Y/N gave a light twirl to show off the new dress. “You like?”
Remus licked his lips, stroking his chin. “Very beautiful.” Y/N grinned. From the side of his eye, he caught Sirius watching her too.
“Sirius, you like?”
Sirius broke off his gaze. “Hmm, wha- oh yes of course, our little bird’s quite the seamstress!”
Remus walked up to Y/N, greeting her with a hug. He leaned down placing a quick kiss on her lips. Y/N smiled through it.
She was about to pull away but Remus wrapped his arm around her waist. He slid his finger along her jaw and deepened the kiss.
Sirius looked away.
Y/N opened her eyes, giggling nervously. “Um, baby, Sirius is right there.” She whispered.
Remus opened his, glancing over at his friend on the bed. “Sirius, want to join?”
Both Y/N and Sirius looked at him, taken aback. They grew shy.
Sirius laughed it off, insinuating Remus played too much. But Remus didn’t drop the question.
“Listen, I don’t want to make any of you uncomfortable.” He began. “But… I do know for a fact that you two do find each other attractive.. and God knows it would be the hottest thing for me too. Maybe we can have a bit of fun?”
Y/N swallowed. She did not know what to feel except for a certain ache that began pooling between her legs.
“I- uh.” Sirius breathed. He ran his hand through his hair. He laughed, biting his lip. Y/N almost whimpered. “I’m down for anything if you are.”
Y/N let go of Remus. She nodded. Taking a hesitant step towards Sirius, she glanced back at Remus, who winked at her.
“Why don’t you climb onto his lap, dove, you love doing that.” Remus said, taking a seat in a nearby chair.
Sirius leaned back on his elbows, licking his lips as he watched Y/N climb onto him, a knee on either side of him.
“You’re such a pretty thing,” Sirius sighed.
“Could say the same about you,” Y/N responded as she ran her hands down his chest.
Sirius sat up, placing both of his hands on her hips.
“You can kiss her,” Remus grunted, thoroughly enjoying the sight of this.
Taking a deep breath in through their noses, Sirius and Y/N pressed their lips together. Letting out a moan, Sirius pulled her tighter against him, pressing her center to his.
Y/N cried out, the sound muffled by the kiss, as she wrapped her arms around Sirius’ neck and ground her hips under his hold.
“Merlin,” Sirius panted as the two pulled apart. “You’re exquisite. Can I touch you, sweetheart?”
Y/N nodded and Sirius brought both hands up, sliding up her ribs and coming to cup her breasts. He squeezed them, sending Y/N’s eyes rolling back.
“Such cute tits, oh I wanna see em,” he said, pulling the dress out of the way. He smiled when they were revealed to him, bringing his mouth to one of her nipples.
Remus loosened his tie from his corner, feeling hot.
“Isn’t she something?” He said, getting up and walking towards them. “I bet you’ve got Pads all hard and straining under there.”
Y/N grinned and nodded. “Let’s take care of that.”
She climbed off and Sirius undid his belt, pulling his pants off. Both Remus and Y/N kneeled down in front of him.
“Bloody hell,” Sirius swore again. It wasn’t even his birthday or Christmas.
He revealed himself. He indeed was already furiously hard.
“Gorgeous.”  Remus hummed. It had been a while. He placed a soft kiss on the head, licking over the slit.
Sirius hissed and squeezed his eyes closed. Y/N leaned forward, dragging her tongue down the base of his shaft as Remus sucked at the tip.
“Fucking hell!” He dared to look down, the sight of his best friend and his girl both sucking him off simultaneously enough to bring him closer over the edge.
He cradled both their heads with one hand, shaking and swearing until he finally came. Y/N wiped her mouth on the back of her hand. “Wow”.
Remus smiled, catching his breath. His eyes darkened. He could smell Y/N. And she was sopping.
“You wanna taste Y/N, Padfoot? I promise you she’s got the prettiest fucking pussy you’ll ever see.”
“Hell yes.”
Y/N whimpered, squeezing her thighs together before switching places with Sirius. Remus climbed onto the bed behind her, pulling her dress off over her head. Her breasts were still pink from Sirius’ hands beforehand.
Sirius’ eyes trailed down to her stomach, to the navy cotton underwear that hugged her hips. She spread legs and revealed a wet spot that had soaked through. Sirius almost fainted.
“Aw baby, you’re this wet huh? Sirius teased. He brought a finger to the warm fabric, spreading it and pressing against her clit.
Y/N cried, throwing her head back and Remus was behind her to bear her weight. “Who got you this wet, huh dove?” Remus asked, looking at her panting face as she settled her back nicely into his chest.
“You. You two.”
Sirius removed his hand and replaced it with his tongue, licking along the wet spot and dampening it even further. 
“Oh fuck,” Y/N gasped, crumbling onto Remus. “Take them fucking off.”
Sirius slid her panties down her legs, her pussy so wet that it already dripped and stained the sheet beneath her.
“Open up darling, open up. Let Padfoot see.” 
He slid his tongue up her folds once and wasted no time brushing it over her clit, taking it between his lips and sucking it.
Remus ran his warm hands over her stomach, then brought them up to her chest. With the pressure of Sirius’ tongue on her clit and Remus’ hands on her breasts, she moaned in ecstasy and threw her head back on Remus’ shoulder.
She cried, a string of half-gibberish swears leaving her mouth. Remus’ hand came and caressed her throat, then he ran his fingers over her lips, parting them so she can suck on them.
“So fucking good.”
+
Present day. 1993, Hogwarts.
Y/N took a swig from her goblet of orange juice as she opened the Daily Prophet that was laying around on the teacher’s table in the Great Hall. The headline wrote: “Sirius Black, newly sighted near Hertfordshire”. She lay her goblet down and quickly turned the paper to another page.
She glanced over at her side. Remus was quietly enjoying his breakfast.
“Anything interesting?” He asked.
She shook her head. “Nah.”

Can you make a fic or anything with reader who litteraly doesn't have a moral code. Like they wouldn't care if a species would go instinct or if a god dies. They also happen to be the most powerful, like gojo. But suddenly, Tesla came in, and made them feel something. This just leads to then wanting to be close to them. Eventually leading to them threatening Brunhilde, and make herself become there weapon (Like a valkyrie). Also refuses to let them die, and doesn't give a shit about the others.
Thank you in advance 💗💗💗💗
-You gave no dangs. You had no cares. You did what you wanted when you wanted and didn’t care who or what got in your way.
-You weren’t the easiest deity to get along with, mainly due to your rather…crass personality. You made Loki look like a cake-walk some days which would always rile him up to outdo you, which would always lead to prank wars, much to the ‘joy’ of the other citizens of Valhalla.
-Many knew not to cross you, as you were quite strong, and you didn’t care about who you killed, if you had been disrespected, you wouldn’t hesitate to make sure nobody else around would forget it.
-This made you extremely difficult to approach, as nobody could tell what you were feeling, you could be seething with rage but smiling brightly like you got your favorite treat.
-When Ragnarok was announced, you hadn’t planned on fighting, finding the idea a bit boring, wandering around the stadium until you heard Brunnhilde speaking with something.
-Brunnhilde was one of the few people that you… tolerated, as she always showed you respect even if you were threatening her, and you found her serious nature amusing.
-You rounded the corner and found her talking to…a literal ray of sunshine! The man before you was tall, built, and incredibly handsome, he was the whole package!!
-You never really clicked with anyone before, but this man, Nikola Tesla, as you overheard Brunnhilde saying his name, made you feel so alive!!
-You peeked around the corner like a creeper, making goo-goo eyes at this hunky man as you listened in on their conversation, learning that Nikola was going to be fighting next.
-When Nikola went to get prepared, you quickly approached Brunnhilde, nearly knocking her down as you leapt up and hugged her from behind, “Brunnie~~~!!!! Let me do that Valkyrie partner fusion thing with that hunk!!”
-She turned, surprised to see you and she was even more surprised to see that you looked excited, as your curiosity had been piqued, an eyebrow lifting, “You want to fight with Nikola?”
-If you had a dog’s tail it would be wagging a million miles per hour, “I do- let me fight!” she was initially going to refuse, but then she had to pause, realizing that this could give humanity an advantage, “Will you keep him safe?”
-Your rare serious face stunned her, giving her a firm nod and she agreed to which you cheered for, spinning her around, making her shriek in surprise, much to your amusement.
-Nikola wasn’t sure what to make of you as you had leapt into his arms, introducing yourself as his partner, “I thought a Valkyrie was going to by my partner.” You just beamed at him, “Not today- I’m strong and I’ll make sure you stay safe!”
-He cupped your hands between his own, his eyes bright in thanks, “Thank you so much Y/N!” you think your heart just swelled and popped from happiness in less than a second as the two of you fused.
-He felt so warm, so comforting, you felt like you could stay here forever while Nikola felt rushing energy and fierce determination, your determination to keep him safe.
-When Beelzebub managed to hurt your man…oh hell no!! To say you were pissed was an understatement and Nikola felt another rush of energy, one that boosted his strength as he charged.
-Your hands were felt on Nikola’s shoulders as you spoke, “I’ll keep you safe, handsome!” your declaration would have been embarrassing, had he not been locked in life or death combat. He could be embarrassed later!
-As Nikola stood the victor, he felt your arms wrapped around his neck, hugging him from behind as you had yet to leave him, “Told you- I always keep my word.” Nikola beamed, seeing you in spirit form next to him, “You have my thanks Y/N! I’m glad I could depend on you.”
-Brunnhilde couldn’t help but grin as you unfused with him, covering your bright red face with your hands, sounding like a deflated balloon.
-When the gods started yelling at you, outraged that you helped a human, but Nikola was surprised when you didn’t look concerned. You sent a harsh glare that shut many of them up, “Want to repeat those words?” nobody spoke back up and you grinned, seeing that nobody was brave enough to oppose you, which stunned Nikola.
-You turned and grabbed his hand, “C’mon cutie- we’re going for a drink! You can tell me science stuff while we spend time with each other.” Nikola could only blush, surprised by your bold nature, but didn’t fight you.

Part 3: Hope
Summary: Rejection, friendship, love and heart ache. What's next?
The next day Eddie was hoping to have that long conversation. But you were nowhere to be found. He waited in the quad in the usual spot in the morning. But you didn't show. He kept looking at the cafeteria door every time someone walked in during lunch, hoping you would come. Still nothing though.
The last chance he would see you was in Mrs O'Donnells class. He knew you had to work after school so he wouldn't be able to see you for the rest of the day. 
When he sat at his desk he noticed your backpack in the seat next to him. So you were there. You were just ignoring him.
The worst thing that could happen, did. He confessed how he felt and you were avoiding him. Now he wished he hadn't said anything.
The classroom door opened and you came in with some guy. You looked like you didn't sleep at all. You were pale and looked like you were gonna pass out. 
Did he do that to you? 
You then caught his eye and smiled a little. He lifted his hand to wave but you turned around to talk to Mrs O'Donnell.
“ Hey, teach. Umm this is Glenn. He's interested in taking over my column in the school paper. I already showed him around the workspace and how to lay out the stories.”
Mrs O'Donnell grinned. “ Perfect and did you teach him-”
“ Yes. He knows how to use the computer and how to search for information.”
As soon as the conversation was over, you went to sit down.
He leaned in. “ You feeling okay?”
You raised your hand and rocked it from side to side. 
Now he was worried. “ Want me to get you some medicine or something to drink?”
You shook your head. “ I'm okay.”
His brows pinched together. Even your voice sounded different. “ Are you-”
“ Mr Munson. Is there something you would like to share with the rest of us?”
He looked towards the front of the class at Mrs O'Donnell. “ Umm what?”
She looked over her glasses at him. “ Mr Munson, as happy as I am to see you finally graduate, there are still some students that are here to learn.”
He gave her a thin lip smile and looked back at you. “ Sorry Mrs O'Donnell.”
She started the class and you ripped out a page from your notebook and handed it to him.
“ I feel like death but I'll be okay. Can I come by after work? We can talk.”
He looked at you and nodded. He then folded the note and stuffed it into his pocket.
-
It was almost 8 pm. Eddie kept looking at his watch for the past hour. Preparing for the talk. 
But once his uncle left for work, he started getting ancy.
That's when he needed a smoke.
He went outside and sat on the steps. After the first cigarette was burned out, he lit another. Then headlights blinded him for a second. He quickly tossed the smoke after he heard you coughing.
You got out and made your way to him. Somehow you looked worse than before.
“ Hey dude. Sorry I'm late. I'm feeling like dog poop.”
He stood up. “ Anything I can do? I can make you some tea.”
You coughed again. “ Tea would be nice. But I don't want you to get sick. Besides, I can't stay too long. My parents want me home before 10.
He looked down at his watch and frowned. You guys only had 40 minutes. “ Well, do you want to come inside?”
You shook your head. “ No. That's okay. I would totally fall asleep in there. It's best if we stay out here. The fresh air will do me good.”
So far this conversation wasn't going well. Which started to make him feel insecure.
He then watched as you walked towards him and sat on the steps. Pulling him down to sit with you.
He swallowed thickly. Trying to figure out what to say. “ How did you get so sick so fast?”
You sniffled and shrugged. “ I guess my body isn't used to getting sneezed on the back of the neck in the subway.”
He chuckled lightly. “ Gross.”
“ Yeah. But it's just the flu I think, so I'm not dying.”
He grinned. “ Good.”
The tension started to build after that. The silence that ensued was almost unbearable.
“ So... why do you think you've fallen for me?” You asked all nonchalantly. 
He sucked in a sharp breath and rubbed his hands on his knees. “ Ermmm I- honestly I don't know why this happened. All I know it's that no matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about you.”
You sighed and nodded slightly. “ Since prom right?”
He licked his lips and leaned his elbows on his knees. “ Yup.”
You went quiet for a second. Then you coughed. He looked at you and offered up some water and a cough drop.
“ Eddie, I'm fine. Really…let's continue…So you find me attractive because of how I dressed at prom?”
He hung his head. “ It started that way.”
“ And now you don't?”
“ N-no. I do. It's just more. You know.”
You nodded. “ Why?”
He looked at you. “ What do you mean?”
You met his gaze. “ Why is it more now?”
He shrugged and looked away. “ I guess I just see that you're amazing.”
Your laugh was a little raspie. “ And I wasn't amazing before?”
His eyes found yours again and he smiled. “ Guess not.”
You shoulder bumped him. “ Shut up.”
You guys chuckled for a second before it got serious again.
“ What about you?” He asked. “ When did it happen for you?”
You leaned back a bit. Resting on your hands behind you. Looking up at the stars. “ I want to say it was after I got over the crush I had on Jason.”
His eyes went wide. “ That-that was 2 years ago.”
You turned your head towards him. “ Yeah…it was. I guess you can say my type changed.”
He leaned back too and mimicked your actions. “ Why didn't you say anything?”
You faced the sky again and closed your eyes. “ You were seeing Marci. Then after her, there was that girl from the bar.”
He watched you as you sat up straight and looked at the ground. 
“ I came to the conclusion that it was stupid to like, like one of your friends…then it got harder. Being who we were around each other. Close, comfortable. And I tried to not let it affect me…but then nana died.”
He sat up too and turned his body towards you. 
You sniffled again. “ It's not the fact that you were there for me. But how you were there for my mom. How you were there for my dad…I remember when you and my dad were playing pool in the garage. It was the first time I heard him laugh in weeks. And with my mom…that's when you started hitting on her, just to get her to smile. Well that and you knew it annoyed me…I fell in love with you then. But I also knew that I couldn't do anything about it because you were family. And I didn't want to lose you too.”
When you started to cry he put his arm around your waist and pulled you closer. 
You wiped your tears on your sleeve. “ You have been different since prom. And I thought it was because we're graduating soon. I thought it was because you were gonna miss me.”
“ I am gonna miss you.”
You turned to face him. He bore deep into your eyes. 
“ Not as much as I'm gonna miss you.”
His heart was racing. You were so close. Your lips were merely inches apart. 
“ I really want to kiss you.” He confessed in a soft tone.
You didn't look away or try to get out of his embrace. And he took that a go ahead. He closed his eyes and leaned in. 
He could feel your hot breath against his lips and it sent shivers down his spine. 
Just before your lips touched, he felt your hand on his chest. Then you moved your head down. Making him pull back slightly. 
“ Eddie.” You whispered. “ We can't.”
He held you a little tighter. “ If it's cuz you're sick, I don't care.”
The look you had in your eyes he knew that wasn't it. So he let you go and felt broken. This wasn't what he wanted.
“ Eddie, I'm sorry. As much as I wanted this I-” you cut off and stood up.
He couldn't look at you. If he did he would end up crying.
“ I get that you're hurting right now. And I'm sorry that I'm the reason for it… it's just…Eddie please look at me.”
He flexed his jaw and did his best to not break down. When he finally looked at you, all he saw was his very sad sick friend. He knew you didn't want or mean to hurt him. And he felt like he would have never seen you so upset if he just kept his mouth closed.
“ I need you to hear me okay? We graduated in less than 2 weeks. After that, everything changes. And it's gonna be harder than we think to say goodbye to each other…if we do this now, it's gonna be that and so much more.” You shook your head. “ And I can't do that. I can't just be all in with you, just to have to say goodbye in 2 weeks…all I want is for things to be normal. I want to hang out with you and the guys like always. I want us to watch movies and play video games. I want to spend as much time together as possible. Because in a few days you're not gonna be an 8 minute drive anymore. I won't be able to hug you or laugh with you. I won't be at your band practices or show up to gigs…I just want the little time we have to be friends….just friends. Cuz I don't think I can handle anything more than that.”
He sat there and understood everything you just said. And though you rejected him, you were right. 
He wanted you. All of you. But risking these last few days for something that was gonna end before it could even start. It wasn't ideal. Still, a few days with you would be better than not having you at all. Right?
He could argue and tell you that he would give anything to call you his. Even if it was just for a moment. But he wasn't going to. 
Instead he got up and wrapped his arms around you. “ You're right. You're always right kid…I'm just sorry that I was late to the party.”
You hugged him back and apologized too.
“ Let me take you home.”
You pulled away and shook your head. “ No. How will you get back?”
He gave you a little smile. “ I'll walk.”
You coughed then refused.
“ It's okay.” He assured you. “I need time to lick my wounds.”
Your eyebrows knitted together and you gave him another sad look.
He gave you a little smile. “ Really. This was actually the nicest rejection I've ever got. Now common. Before your mom calls the cops.”
-
He gave you one last hug before turning to leave you on your doorstep. 
“ Eddie.”
He looked over his shoulder. “ Yeah?” 
“ You know with us, it's not a never… it's more like not right now.”
He pressed his lips into a thin smile. “ Gareth was right.”
You raised a brow. Silently asking what?
He sighed and put his hands in his pockets. “ He said that talking to you about this might make me feel better. “
“ Did it?”
He grinned. “ Yeah.”
You waved him goodbye and went inside. He spent the next 30 minutes wishing things ended differently.
Graduation day
Everyone was so excited to finally receive their diplomas. Eddie kept his promises. He gave his classmates the bird and ran off the stage. 
He didn't go far though. He waited in the parking lot for everyone. Secretly, he wanted to run out before everyone so he could grab the graduation gift he got for you. 
There was a second there where he felt like maybe the bouquet for roses and balloons were too much, but he didn't care. 
And seeing your face light up when you saw them was everything. 
You gave him a big hug and thanked him. “ I still have to pick yours up.”
He still kept you within arms reach but took a half a step back. “ You didn't have to get me anything.”
You just smiled and turned to give everyone else a congratulatory hug. 
“ What the hell boy?!” Wayne said, hitting him upside the head.
“ Geez! I'm sorry man. I had too.” he said, rubbing the back of his head.
Wayne gave him a death stare but then smiled. “ Congratulations son.”
He grinned and gave him a hug. “ Thanks man.”
Soon after the pictures were taken, everyone got dinner together. 
The whole night Eddie watched you. He saw your smiles and heard your laughter. But in your eyes there was a hint of tears. 
He wished he could kiss that away. He wished he could hug that sadness out of existence. But he promised to just be your friend until you gave him the go ahead. 
Little did he know he would get his wish.
As the night went on, all of his friends ended up at Gareth's after the parents and parental figures went home. 
First was playing a few songs in the garage, while you sat listening. Then it was talking and playing video games. 
Sometime in the middle of it all, you disappeared. Which of course prompted Eddie to look for you. 
When he found you, you were outside on the porch swing.
“ Hey! Whatcha doing out here? It's almost our turn.” He said, taking a seat next to you.
You gave him a sweet little smile. “ Nothing much. Just going through the year book.”
You scooted closer to him and showed him the pictures of clubs and prom. 
“ Do you remember when I went through a phase where I thought records were the best way to listen to music?”
He nodded. “ Yeah and we stole a bunch of milk crates to store your giant collection.”
You let your head fall back. “ And none of them fit in the damn things.”
You both laughed at the funny memory. And once it died down he shook his head.
“ I cut my shin climbing that barbed fence….when you saw the blood you nearly passed out.”
You giggled. “ But I didn't. I patched you up and kissed your wound.”
He shoulder bumped you.“ Then you passed out.”
You both chucked. But soon after, it was quiet. He moved closer to you and put his arm on your shoulders. His thumb subconsciously caressed your arm.
“ Oh! Almost forgot.” You said leaning forward and pulling out a black leather box from your backpack. 
You handed it to him after.
He grinned and opened it up. There laid on a little silk pillow was a gold watch with leather bands.
“ Uhh wow! This…looks…expensive.”
“ It's from my parents and me…it's engraved on the back.”
He glanced at you before looking back at the Hublot. He slid it off the tiny pillow and turned it over. Silently reading the inscription.
‘ To E.M,
Follow your dreams.’
“ I love it.” he whispered. “ Help me put it on yeah?”
You turned slightly towards him and removed his old watch. Then replaced it with the gifted one. 
He stared at it for a second. Really appreciating the beauty of it. Then he noticed you still had your hand in his. When he looked at you, you were biting your lip and looking down.
You must have sensed him staring and you met his eyes. 
He swallowed out of nervousness, when he saw a glimmer of something in your eyes. 
“ Ummm…here. You can have this one.” He said turning towards you. He reached for your right hand and put on his old watch. “ Now you have something to remind you of me.”
He made eye contact again. This time though he swore he saw you gulp too.
“ Like I could ever forget you, Eddie.”
He smirked a little and kept staring deeply into your eyes. What were the chances that you might want to kiss him now? Should he try again?
“ Kiss me.”
His mouth parted a touch as he sucked in a breath. “ W-what?”
You leaned in a bit and whispered it again.
This was it. The moment he had been dreaming about since his feelings changed. 
He lifted his hand to cup your cheek. Gently dragging his thumb across your bottom lip. All the while moving closer.
His heart was racing and he held his breath. Your lips just barely grazed one another right before the front door opened. Causing you and him to pull away from each other.
Gareth came out. “ Guys! It's your turn. What are you doing?” 
Eddie looked the opposite way of you and cursed under his breath. Yet another moment gone.
“ Emm n-nothing. Just reliving some memories.” You answered.
Gareth looked at both of you with suspicion. “ Okayyy… So you guys coming or what?”
Eddie stood quiet. Trying to hold back his frustration.
“ Ummm actually… I think I want to sleep in my own bed tonight.” You said, making him look at you. “ Do you think you can give me a ride?” 
-
During the drive to your house you asked him to take you somewhere quiet. So Eddie drove out to a spot near skull rock. 
When he turned the van off you sat there fidgeting. 
“ So uhh why did you want to come here?” He asked.
He heard you sigh a little before watching you get up and climb to the back. He followed right after.
You guys sat across from each other. With the tension getting thicker by the second, you took off your shirt.
He sat there in utter amazement. Your chest was so full and looked so soft, his mouth nearly watered. 
“ Eddie?”
He looked up to find your very curious eyes on him. 
“ Are…are you sure?” He nervously asked. 
You smiled softly at him before unclasping your bra. 
He groaned lightly at seeing your buds harden as the air hit them. 
He watched as you took off your shoes and your bottoms. Until all that was left was your panties.
You looked back at him and cleared your throat. Breaking him from his trance.
He quickly took off everything but his boxers and pulled you to lay next to him. 
As you both stared deeply into each other's eyes, he caressed your arm. 
“ Can I kiss you now?”
You scoffed a small laugh and nodded.
He raised to lean on his elbow and cupped your face. This time, his thumb traced the apple of your cheek. 
It was a kiss that carried the weight of desire and love. All things unspoken and built up emotion was poured into that one perfect kiss. It was passionate and all consuming. But at the same time it was terrifying. 
You had awoken something in him with your lips. It was chaotic and peaceful.
It was magic.
That's all he could describe it as. 
The kissing could have gone like that all night and he wouldn't have cared. But as fingers traced the contours of one another's bodies, things became more intimate. 
The warm air of the van was charged with fevery intensity. With every kiss and touch being a silent invitation to explore more.
Heavy breaths and soft moans bounced off the walls. Creating a warm loving bubble of passion neither one of you wants to leave.
Eddie's lips travel down your neck and across your chest
Your raised skin gave him the indication that you liked what he was doing. He moved lower to kiss your plush belly.
Your hands get lost in his hair as he reaches for your underwear. 
He looks up at you, silently asking for permission.
You bite your lip and give him one small nod.
He peels them off slowly. Getting them past your bottom and over your knees. Finally down your calves and around your ankles. 
Next, his blue plaid boxers join your garment somewhere in the van.
Once protection is in place, he settles between your legs. Crashing his lips into yours in a wet needy kiss.
This wasn't just sex. Not just some hook up. This was you. This was love making.
His lips hovered over yours as you two became one. A hushed gasp left your lips as he pushed himself in. His mouth fell open and his eyes squeezed shut at the feeling of you hugging him ever so tight.
He went slow at first. Conquering your pulsating warmth inch by inch. Claiming it as his and only his. Because it was. At least for tonight.
Then when you got used to his length, he picked up his pace a bit. With your hips pushing against his to get him to go even deeper. 
He opened his eyes to see you had yours closed. With your mouth slightly agape and your brows furrowed. 
You were stunning. The sounds you were making and the face you made out of pleasure, made him want to record it and take a picture. Just so that he could have evidence of the best night of his life.
Moans and grunts grew louder the closer you both got to a release. And all he could think about was making sure you came first.
Then a few more delicious thrusts and he felt it. He felt your warm wet velvet walls flutter then began to tighten.
You were almost there.
That's when his hip thrusts became short. He hit a small spot deep within you. Causing you to mewl out his name. It was like ramming into a pillowy wall. Making him experience a different type of pleasure he's never had.
And just like that, his and yours orgasm took over your bodies. Making his toes curl.
His body jerked as yours trembled after the fact. 
And once he toppled off to the side he shook his head in disbelief. 
He laid there for a second, trying to catch his breath. Afterwards, he pulled you into his arms. 
He was exhausted. And from your slow and steady breaths, you were too.
“ How do I let you go to California after that?”
You snuggled up closer and rested a hand on his chest before answering in a sleepy voice. “ I guess... the same way I have to let you go to New York.”
His heart cried out in a shaky sigh as he felt the prickle of tears. 
You were right. It was going to be impossible to say goodbye tomorrow. 
Rather than letting the reality of the outside penetrate the small bubble of heaven you guys created. You held each other. 
Following heartfelt words and promises to keep in touch, he felt himself drifting to sleep. 
Then he felt you tracing something on his chest. He tried to focus on it before falling asleep. And when he figured it out, he smiled and kissed your forehead.“ I love you too.”
Wrapped up in the warmth of your love, you both fell into a peaceful slumber.
The morning came too fast for his liking. Though you both were happy, you both got dressed in silence. 
Even the drive to your house was quiet. When he pulled up in your driveway you sat for a while. Staring at your house. 
“ I had a really great time last night.”
You looked down and grinned. “ Me too.”
He reached for your hand and laced his fingers with yours. “ What happens now?”
You shrugged. “ I…I think we should leave things how they are. We had an amazing last night together. And I wouldn't change it for anything…But the truth is, it's better if we just take it for what it was. A really great goodbye.”
His heart sank but he had to agree. There was no way you guys could be together right now. Not with all the plans that were in place.
You gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek before hopping out of the van. 
His heart felt like it was breaking seeing you walk up the driveway. But then you stopped and turned around. You gave him that sweet little smile he loved so much and came to the driver side window. 
“ Hey ummm mom promised to make pancakes today. If you want to join us.”
Then there was hope. Hope for something more. Hope that last night wasn't just a goodbye. But the start of something truly worthwhile.
He smirked. “Definitely. I love your mom's pancakes.”

the desperate anidala bitches shall rejoice, because i come offering a second rec list 😌 /lh
My Anidala/Vaderdala rec list! (part 2)
You can find the first rec list here!
sorry I took so long this got buried way down in my drafts but it's finally out 🫡
some of these are not complete so do check chapter count and pls dont yell at me asdfhgkjfh
Modern AUs
The Bet
Anakin's had a crush on Padmé since fourth grade, and after putting up with his pining for seven years, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka are finally stepping in and making a bet that he can't ask her to junior prom in the spring. Meanwhile, Padmé is realizing that Anakin isn't as annoying as she'd always thought. In fact, her feelings towards him are starting to go in quite the opposite direction...
Snow Place Like Home
For genre-typical convoluted reasons involving ill-timed blizzards, Padmé is forced to spend the holidays at Anakin's house. Anakin isn't as upset about his boss staying with him for Christmas as he probably should be.
Second Chances
When Luke Amidala and Leia Skywalker meet at summer camp, they're shocked to discover that they're long-lost twins. The logical next step? Getting their estranged parents back together.
I usually avoid Parent traps AU just because I dislike it as a setup, but when it comes to Anidala a bitch is desperate, and this was a cute and fun one, I really enjoyed it!
Lemon
“What other secret fantasies do I have that are glaring neon signs for you?” Anakin asks. “You’re conflicted,” Padmé says, “because on one hand you want to be a very good boy for me, but on the other you want to misbehave so I have a reason to punish you.” He blows out a plume of smoke and taps the ash off his cigarette. “You know, I really thought you were a nerd. I thought I'd have to be like, ‘Hey, how about you tie me up sometime.' Get you into this stuff little by little. But no, you’re diving right in like we met on a BDSM subreddit or something.” Or: Padmé has car problems. Thankfully she knows a good mechanic.
normally, I probably never would have checked out this fic, (mommy kink is just not my thing) but as previously stated, A BITCH WAS DESPERATE and you know what it actually slapped 😌
Rebound
Padmé Naberrie has just been broken up with. She wasn't prepared for a night out with her girls to find her a rebound. She certainly wasn't prepared for Anakin Skywalker.
Sith-Raised Anakin
the inevitable end of dancing with the devil
"Maybe it was too crass to compare the devil to such a creature—Lord Vader wasn’t the devil, he was worse." Senator Amidala was undoubtedly one of the most respected and adored public servants to walk the galaxy. Lord Vader was not. Vaderdala AU. Arranged Marriage AU
A Worthy Sacrifice
Chancellor Palpatine has dropped the act and decided to rule the galaxy openly as Darth Sidious. His reign wouldn’t be half as successful without his unhinged attack dog Darth Vader, a much rumoured warbringer who appears in black robes with a saber red as blood and brings even the strongest revolutionaries to their knees. Padmé is not only fighting for her home country but the freedom of the known regions and she is desperate to turn the tides of this war which is why she agrees to the deal Sidious offers her: A child with this favourite Sith Lord in exchange for her home: Naboo.
This is one of my favourite fics with this trope!
Pearl in My Head
Padmé's just starting her career as a Senator when she attracts some unwanted attention from the Emperor, who has decided on a very different role for her in the Empire. [empire already exists, arranged marriage/forced proximity au! loosely follows some aotc/rots events]
What Was I Made For?
Darth Vader was not a man made for love, but this was not love. Or, Basically, Padme and Vader are friends with benefits, but she's so nice to him that it makes him question his entire existence.
FOR YOUR LOVE (i’ll do whatever you want)
𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰? 𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰? 𝐢'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐢 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐢’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐢 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐢’𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 He gave her that devilish smirk of his. The one that had gotten her into this mess in the first place. “I’ll give you what you want.” OR, A rare moment of intimacy happens for Padmé and Anakin – whose relationship is strictly carnal.
I have yet to read the second chapter (will get on that when I get out of the snowbaird hole lol) but I really enjoyed the first one!
Vaderdala
love me, love me (like you used to do) 
In which Vader fails to capture his son, but gains a daughter, his wife, another pair of twins... and the past.
this fic was SO GOOD holy shit literally made me feral when i fiorst read it
Love Like Ghosts
There are very few people who know the location of the Rebel Alliance’s base on Naboo. Even fewer who know the names of any of the people who work there. So when Padmé gets up on a cold morning, the windows frosted and harsh wind rattling the doors of the large house that’s been the headquarters of the Alliance for nearly two decades, to see a package with her name on it sitting on the doorstep, her heart stops in her chest.
loved this fic but as a heads up it doesn't provide "they get back together" closure so be ready for that
news of old by @ineedausernamel829
Padme is a member of the rebel alliance. During a mission, her past relationships with darth Vader comes to light
No vaderdala interactions, but exploration of the relationship through Padme talking about it - It’s so so good
Sad Vaderdala hours
Imperial Socialite
In a timeline where Darth Vader doesn't face immolation and Padmé Amidala lives, their marriage continues in a form that is at once far more honest and deeply dysfunctional. Though Padmé tries to remain within the Imperial Senate, the trauma of her husband's betrayal--and the apparent deaths of her children--force her into early retirement. Too much of a liability to aid the emerging Rebel cause directly, Padmé seeks out new avenues of defying the Empire: by leveraging her connection to Vader to mess with the Imperial Elites of Coruscant.
it could be sweet
an interconnected collection of stories based on the idea of what would have happened if Padmé had lived. (aka me finally writing down my self-indulgent vaderdala daydreams aka me living my best life)
This series is so good in a "rip my heart out of my chest and steps on it" way
all joy sucked dry
Her husband had fallen, her life’s work had crumbled, and her own babies were strangers to her. But she didn’t even care, and that was the worst part. Or: Padme deals with postpartum depression, and Vader is ill-equipped to help her
Others
Across the Seas
Padmé Amidala - the daughter of the royal governor of Jamaica - never expected her life to be much more than it already was. Her routine is to dress in her finest clothes, put on a pretty face, and ensure she is presentable to not only the people but to the many men attempting to court her. However, Padmé's world is flipped around when pirates attack, and the young woman finds herself in the company of their fearsome, brash, (dashing) Captain. Initially sickened by the roughish man, Padmé will quickly learn there is so much more to the mysterious Captain Skywalker. A pirate's life for me
The pirate AU I didn’t know I needed. So good
Right & Wrong
After they watch a holoshow that portrays reprehensible content, Anakin unwittingly reveals the concerning way Chancellor Palpatine acts towards him. Padmé will not let anyone harm her husband — and she’ll make this Obi-Wan, the Jedi Council, and even the whole galaxy’s problem if she needs to.
when the grooming is actually adressed >>
cestrum nocturnum
Summer on Naboo, the Clone Wars have yet to begin, and Anakin is tasked with protecting Senator Amidala after an attempt is made on her life. It's too bad that every moment with her has him in agony, and every moment apart is even worse—especially after that night in the courtyard ... Or: Anakin spends a torturous time on Naboo in the company of the person he loves because he doesn't know how to tell her his true feelings.
Naboo smut 🤭
And that's it! if anyone has recommendations for a fic that isn't in either of my rec lists, please let me know! I am so so desperate I need my anidala fix
Since I was deep into the Star Wars hole and desperate, I’ve also been reading non-Anidala/non-Anidala centric fics about Darth Vader/Anakin/the Skywalker family, so I will be posting a rec list for that soon! (When i say soon it can mean anything from a day to months, my brain is not always great at tasks, if anyone wants to be notified when I do post it lmk and I’ll tag you ❤️)

Free Space (Too Far Gone? by Metallica)
Day 0
“Absolutely not. We need to put it outta its misery.” Hopper insisted as they recovered in the Harrington home. He grimaced when the sound of screeching and thrashing sounded from the basement, and Steve would have found the expression almost humorous any other day.
“He’s not an it!” Dustin protested, “And we didn’t abandon Will! We don’t leave party members if they can be saved!”
Nancy sighed, taking a gulp of water to gather her thoughts before she spoke, “Will was savable. Eddie is…Is he even Eddie anymore? He didn’t drop when the other democreatures did, but that doesn’t mean anything.”
“It means everything!” Dustin’s voice got a little louder, “I don’t know what final boss battle you guys were watching, but Eddie, El, and Will did most of the heavy lifting!” While tentacles (vines? Whatever, either way Steve wanted to pretend that hadn’t happened) pinned them down, Eddie had turned on Vecna. He’d bared his fangs and lunged, catching the monster offguard enough for Eleven to mindblast the vines (vines aren’t slimy. Definitely tentacles) off of herself. He had even caught a tentacle (but tentacles imply they’re attached to something and the majority weren’t. So…vines?) through the chest for his trouble. Apparently whatever had been done to him made him heal faster, so yay for small miracles.
“He’s staying.” Steve finally spoke up, “Hop, with all due respect I won’t hesitate to do what it takes to protect him.” His voice was even, the ‘from you’ left unsaid but still understood.
Hopper paused before he sighed, “We do this, you aren’t taking care of him alone. The second he becomes too much of a danger…”
“He won’t.” Steve said firmly. They would make it through the night and pull his heart into the day.
Day 1
“Wow, you look bad.” Robin grimaced at the sight of her platonic soulmate absolutely drenched from head to toe.
Steve sighed as he wrung out his shirt, “I had El restrain Eddie so I could chain him up.”
“And that required you to take a swim first?” Robin arched an eyebrow as she walked into Steve’s bathroom and gathered a few towels.
“It was for a bath. He hasn’t had one since at least three days before he died.” Steve grumbled, drying himself off, “I know he’s not exactly Eddie right now but the moment he remembered he had wings was the most Eddie thing I’ve ever seen.” He’d watched as Eddie had gone from thrashing in the plastic pool they’d brought down to flapping a tidal wave in Steve’s general direction, making an almost pleased sort of chirp. The bastard had even looked smug, and it was annoying, but it was all the proof he needed that Eddie still lived, was more than an attack dog. It was progress.
Day 10
“So, um, the party’s gonna deal with Acererak, but the twist is that he’s the DMNPC that’s been traveling with them.” Will explained his next campaign, glancing over to Eddie. The man had to be restrained when people were with him, and the kids needed an adult by their side, but he couldn’t help thinking that maybe the vampire wasn’t so bad. After all, being changed by the Upside Down didn’t mean you were automatically evil, just…different.
Steve smiled softly. He was pretending to read a magazine to give them some privacy, but he heard the curious chirps Eddie was making, the inquisitiveness spoken in a language Steve was starting to learn, and he couldn’t help speaking up, “I think he wants to know more.”
Will’s eyes lit up, “Okay, the big reveal’s gonna be at the end of the tomb…”
Night 35
Steve was woken up by screeching, mournful and terrified. He booked it downstairs so fast he nearly fell down the last steps. He saw Eddie in his little nest of sweatshirts he’d taken from Steve, wings wrapped around himself and brows furrowed, fighting some horrors his own mind had created. Without hesitation, Steve climbed into the nest and laid there, pulling Eddie into his arms and brushing his hair back, “It’s okay,” He whispered, “You’re not alone.”
Day 63
Dustin was sat right next to Eddie, reading from The Hobbit, when he felt a wing wrap around him, startling him out of the paragraph, “You okay? Do you need something?”
Steve grinned, “I think that���s mostly because he can’t do it with his arm.”
Eddie let out a confirming chitter.
“Let’s let him out!” Dustin undid the chains before he could be stopped though, considering it was just he and Steve, there wasn’t really a voice of reason there.
Eddie froze when he was freed, looking around the room as if this was a trap, a trick, and a soft whine pulled from his throat.
“No, it’s okay. Like this, see?” Dustin demonstrated by wrapping an arm around Eddie’s stomach.
Eddie hesitated before he rested a clawed hand on Dustin’s curls and ruffled them. What startled both Steve and his semi-child was the purr that rumbled from the vampire’s chest.
Day 86
Steve walked downstairs with breakfast. They’d found that Eddie could eat normal things but that most of his nutrients came from blood, so the adults had been donating when they could. Thankfully, he only seemed to need to be fed once a day, with Steve giving him human food the rest of the time. He frowned when he heard what sounded like hissing, an incessant ‘s’ sound, “What is it? You okay?” He asked in concern, setting down the cup and approaching his vampire.
Eddie let out an annoyed sort of grunt then continued hissing, shaking his head.
Steve crouched down in front of Eddie, resting a hand against his cheek, “What’s wrong? Do we need El?” Because Eleven was the only one who could communicate with Eddie better than Steve through her static blindfold mind powers (and Steve totally wasn’t jealous, no, why would he be? Totally fine with someone else speaking to his Eddie, totally chill and cool)
Eddie growled, hissing louder, until he stopped and took a deep breath. Robin had been teaching him how to control his emotions, though hers were mostly panic attack related. He leaned into the touch, closing his eyes, “SSSSSStevie.” He whispered.
Steve felt tears spill out, instantly throwing himself at Eddie, “Yeah, Baby, it’s me.” He murmured into a cold neck that still felt so familiar, “Welcome home.”

“Colonel’s Orders” Version 2.0
Tumblr media
(smut with Ja/Alexander and Prager) continuation and a different version of the first chapter. 
WARNINGS: SMUT, FLUFF, predator-prey, hunting, bad language
Click here for Masterlist
"Colonel's Orders" 1 (Mansk, Lyle, Quaritch)
Word count: 9332
(Re-pasted first part of story)
I was in the break room, getting a drink from the fridge when Lopez walked past, greeting me. 
“Outside in 10. We have training.” he says, about to leave. 
“What? But we finished for today.” I reply and he turns back. 
“Colonel’s orders. Outside in 10, dressed appropriately for training.” he repeated before walking away. I just stare into nothingness for a while, wondering why we suddenly have to gather again when we just ended less than 2 hours ago. It’s not like I could do anything about it so I put the cold drink back and went to my room to go get dressed in Cammie pants and a tank top. 
While leaving my room and walking down the hallway, I met Zdinarsk. She smiled, nodding to me. 
“Do you know what this is about?” I ask and she shakes her head no, shrugging. 
“Maybe the Colonel has some announcement.” 
“Why outside though?” I say, asking myself more than her. She scoffs, wearing the same things I’m wearing and we walk out onto the large concrete jet runway. The sun is beaming down strongly and the warmth of Pandora hits our skin. 
Quite a bit away, we see most of the recom-team already gathered. The Colonel, Lyle, Mansk, Prager, Lopez, and Fike are outside, all standing around each other, talking. 
Walker is busy with testing tools in the lab along with, Brown, Warren, Zhang, and Alexander. 
We walk next to each other and I squint, having to look at the ground because the sun was too bright. The wind caressed my face and made my hair flow. It made my hair flow… I forgot to tie it up. Oh no. 
Quaritch got angry about that once, I hoped he wouldn’t mind me running back before we started. 
“Finally, the ladies have decided to show up.” Quaritch loudly announces, grinning while his hands rest on his vest. 
I tilt my head confused. 
“Are we late?” I ask Z-Dog confused,  who is already checking her watch. She shakes her head. 
“We’re two minutes early.” she replies in a sassy tone but still keeping it respectful with our superior. 
“Could have been another two minutes earlier.” he says, before fully turning around to face us. We choose wisely to not reply or fire any comment back. It could cause problems. He seems to be pleased with our silence. 
“Y/N, hope that ponytail ain’t too tight.” Lyle chuckles, noticing my open hair. I glare at him, fully aware of my mistake. I almost always have to have my hair tied back, so it's rare anyone sees me like this. 
I glance at Quaritch who is looking at my hair. 
“I can run back and get it, sir.” I say, taking a step back to be ready to go. 
“That won’t be necessary.” He calmly states, looking from my hair to my eyes, before speaking to the group. 
“You won’t be needing it now. In fact, I think I prefer it like that.” he smirks, and I hear a few chuckles from the men. Z-Dog is just as confused as me. 
“Alright squad, today’s… second session will be a bit different from what we did this mornin’. “ the Colonel starts announcing and everyone quiets down. I quickly scan the team, and notice Lyle grinning to himself. As if he knew about something. Maybe this was some sort of surprise. 
“I discussed this matter with, Corporal Wainfleet here. We decided that this team needs less training as humans and more training as Na’vi. “ he continues. So Lyle does know what’s going on. I glance between him and the Colonel, wondering what they had planned. Maybe we would finally get to train our banshees today. 
Lyle looks up at me and Z-Dog with a shit-eating grin on his face. I exchange judgemental looks with her. We wanted to know why we were dragged out here. 
“If we want to find Sully, we need to be able to hunt Na’vi. I mean hunt like them and hunt them.” he says, his eyes roaming over all his soldiers, to make sure we understand and are listening.
“Which is exactly what we are going to do today.” 
I raise my eyebrows. We were going to look for and hunt down Na’vi people? I didn’t know whether I was excited or terrified. Lyle is grinning again and looking at his buddies. They don’t seem to know all he knows and he signals to them that they’ll know in a second. Mansk is nodding along to what Quaritch says, staying serious while Lyle is acting like a teenager about to do something stupid. Maybe that is an exaggeration. He is standing still, keeping quiet and listening, but his grin is irritating me. 
It doesn’t seem like a good sign. 
“We’re just gonna go into the jungle and find some more blue freaks?” Fike asks, and Quaritch is now grinning too. 
“Not exactly.” Lyle intervenes. “We’re going to practise that here, between us. We’re the only Na’vi for miles.” 
“How?” I blurt out. To be fair, it what his fault for not saying all the information at once. 
“Glad you asked, buttercup.” he smiles, turning to me. I frown at the nickname, straining my ears back. He does that often, to embarrass me in front of others I think, but it’s getting old.
“We’re gonna need two people to be the so-called prey.” he explains, while walking towards me. “The rest of the team will hunt them. As simple as that.” 
“Who’s gonna be the prey? I don’t think anyone wants to volunteer for that one.”  Prager announces after a minute and Lyle chuckles. 
“We’ve already got our prey.” Lyle says, returning his gaze to me and looking me deep in the eyes. 
Finally, I catch on to what he’s saying. I’m about to fire some comments back when Lyle is pulled away by Quaritch. 
“Prey, my ass.” I snap at him, not angry just pissed off. 
I glance between them and I hear Zdinrask huff beside me in disbelief. 
“No fucking way.” she says, crossing her arms over her chest. 
Mansk and the others understand now too. I hear a few chuckles from them, while I just stare at Lyle and Miles in disbelief. 
“We’re not doing that.” I say, backing up Z-Dog. 
“That’s an order.” Quaritch says, smirking amusedly. 
“Why us? Why can’t one of them go?” I complain. 
“That’s an order.” he repeats himself, underlining every word. I frown, letting my ears droop as my tail flicks behind me in irritation. 
My silence is an answer to him and he returns to explaining. 
“Now, our lovely ladies will get a five-minute head start. Then-”
“Five?!” I accidentally interrupt and he looks at me annoyed. 
“I can make that three.” he threatens and I look down, not saying a word again. He turns back. 
“Using the stronger senses we have in our bodies, it shouldn’t be too hard.” the Colonel continues to explain. The recom-men exchange glances and smirks, some nodding while others nudge each other’s arms. They seem happy. 
Z-Dog and I exchange the hundredth glance for today, not seeming to believe what is happening. 
“Pfft… stronger senses.” I mutter under my breath. I’ll make sure they won’t find me. 
“That’s right Y/N,” the Colonel said. How did he even hear that?
“Some scientists told me that Na’vi get cycles. So-called ‘heat cycles’...” 
My eyes widen. I just keep hearing more and more bad news. 
“And apparently we are approaching our one soon…” Quaritch continues. Wainfleet is still grinning like the bitch he is. 
Everyone is surprised and listening. 
“Durin’ these times, it’s easier for us…” he points at the recom-men who are all gathered together, “to be able to pick up your pretty scent.” he turns to Z-Dog and me, smirking. Zdinarsk is very clearly not impressed, yet she seems almost unfazed by his words. 
On the other hand, I am mindblown and I don’t know whether I’m pissed at Lyle, Miles or the scientists who summoned me into this body. I still can’t decide whether this experience is a curse or a blessing. 
“To make it a tad easier for us, no shirts allowed.” Lyle added and Quaritch didn’t seem to disagree. That was it, that was my final straw. I couldn’t believe it. I snort, clutching my face in my palms while Z-Dog just chews her gum and watches my reaction. 
“This is bullshit.” I say, letting my hands slide from my face. The entire team’s attention is focused on me and I don’t know how to feel about it. 
Quaritch raises his eyebrow at me as if challenging me to continue my petty behaviour. I fall in line under his gaze. 
Z-Dog sighs beside me before peeling her tank top off. I sigh as well. If she’s doing it, I must too. I turn away a little, facing the open runway and pull my tank top over my head, leaving me in a sports bra and cammies, like Z. 
I turn around, arms crossed in front of my chest, holding the shirt. The team was oddly silent. 
It wasn’t the first time we’d been in a sports bra in front of them. During the hot days or really intense training lessons, we would just wear them while the others didn’t even wear a shirt. But it still seemed different because this time it had a different meaning. But training is training, what can one do?
“Drink before you go.” Quaritch ordered, his own arms crossed over his chest, seeming pleased that we followed orders without complaining too much anymore. 
After all, he was our superior, and responsible for us, so making us drink was not uncommon. 
Lyle handed us each a water bottle, from which we took a few gulps. Some water trickled down the side of my mouth and on my chest but I didn’t care. It was too warm to mind that. 
I handed it back to him, sending him a glare just to let him know that I was pissed. 
“Alright, you’re ready.” Quaritch said, but I wasn’t finished just yet. 
“What if I just don’t run?” I ask, more out of curiosity than sass. 
He takes an intimidating step forward. “Then I’ll deal with you right here, in front of everyone.” He stated firmly, staring me down. I looked away again, nodding a little before turning away and standing next to Z-Dog again who was already facing where we have to go. 
I didn’t quite know what he meant by that, I could only assume. And I assumed that he would do something I would not want others to see. 
“Alright, you see the entry in the fence there? That’s where the forest starts. You go through there and then wherever you want after that. We’ll find you.” Quaritch says, pointing to the gate with the opening, separating the forest from the concrete. I huff annoyed facing the direction we were supposed to run in after throwing my shirt at Lyle’s face. It wasn’t far until the fence. I wondered if I would encounter any native creatures, thinking that perhaps I should be armed but then again, none of them ever get close to here. 
“Happy runnin’ ladies. Time starts…now.” Quaritch says and once he finishes Z-Dog is walking away already. I jog up to her and we walk more or less side by side for a while. Then we hear someone yell that if we don’t start running now they will shorten the time. I groan out in frustration, letting my head fall back before picking up my pace and running to the fence, close behind Zdinarsk. 
Before we know it we reach the fence where we slow down and look around before walking into the forest. 
“Is it smart to stick together?” she asks me and I think about it. 
“Probably not. If we’re working as a team here, it makes sense for us to split. That way if they all find one of us, the other is still fine.” I reply, not quite knowing what to expect. 
“Let’s kick their ass. I say we continue for an hour, then we return home.” she says and smiles to herself.
“Heh- imagine if we just ditch the mission while they are still out here.” I chuckle and she joins. 
Silence. 
“We’d get in so much tr-” 
“Yeah, Colonel would kill us.” She agrees. 
We walk in silence again, thinking about what he would be yelling. Then I check my watch. 
“They’ll come after us in a minute. We should split now.” I say and she nods in agreement.
“Aight. See ya’.” we bump our fists together before I take a right turn and she goes left. The next time I look over my shoulder, I don’t see her anymore. 
I look at the time again. They must have already left the base. Probably just arrived in the forest right now. 
I push my way through leaves, my ears flicking around, picking up small noises. The forest felt very abandoned. There was almost no noise. 
I went deeper. If they would really follow my scent, I couldn’t have it going in a straight line. I let my feet carry me faster again and I made occasional turns while making sure I was putting enough distance between the base and me. With the new body came a new and better sense of coordination. If I would continue wandering for the next few hours, I still wouldn’t get lost. 
What feels like at least 2 hours have passed and my legs were getting a little tired. The sun was still up, it was only afternoon. I gave up on running. It seemed to me as though they had overestimated their capabilities and would not find me. Maybe I should start turning back? 
I stop for a while, standing completely still, trying to pick up anything. Any noise, sight or smell. But there was nothing. While standing I became aware of an odd feeling in my groin. 
I curse myself. The fucking heat cycle. It didn’t hit me, it slowly developed. I had felt something similar this morning, but it was growing now.
………………………………….……… (new part now)
I huff out in annoyance. This was usually the time I would be doing my self-care routine. I could have been running a bath right now, or reading a book in peace. But instead, I’m out in the godforsaken deadly forest, pretending to be prey. 
I might even become actual prey to some pandorian creature because I wasn’t allowed to take any weapons with me. I’m all alone, in my pants and a sports bra. 
That thought makes me roll my eyes again. Like taking my shirt off would actually help them find me. 
Then I remembered the look on some soldiers' faces. Quaritch was normal, always managing to keep his professional stance. Lyle on the other hand didn’t even try hiding his shit-eating grin. The man was happy that he got to tell us what to do. Especially when it came to removing clothes. 
Before turning away from Lyle, I had noticed Prager and Ja’s eyes lingering on me. It surprised me that they were looking at me and not Z-Dog. I always thought of her as being the hottie in our squad. 
I shouldn’t read too deeply into it though. It was probably because she wears it more often. Zdinarsk happens to be more confident about herself. Confident as in not caring what she has on. Not confident like Lyle as in stripping at every opportunity he gets. 
I look behind me and nothing is unusual. Time goes quickly and the next time I look at my watch, they have been ‘hunting’ for almost 45 minutes. I scoff. Soon I get to go back. 
I’m getting tired too. My legs were already dead from this morning’s training and now this. I was going to need to go back soon otherwise I would get lost. Luckily the sun was still shining through the crowns of the leaves in the trees. 
While walking I started noticing a weird warmth building up in my abdomen and soon it spread to between my legs. Usually, I would have said I was horny but this felt almost too intense for that. Still, I tried ignoring it. Hopefully, it would go away. 
After another ten minutes, I started feeling tired and was no longer paying attention to my surroundings. That was a mistake because not far from me I heard a noise similar to someone reloading their gun. 
I freeze and my ears perk up. My body stills and I hold my breath. Nothing happens. 
Then, I hear it again. This time, it seems even closer. I turn around and notice my heartbeat pounding in my chest, neck and ears. It sounds mechanical and no doubt belongs to a soldier. 
That’s all it takes for me to turn back around in the direction I was originally going in and take off. My tired legs no longer felt tired and my rational thoughts were muffled by the instinct to run and escape. 
I sprint through the forest, occasionally looking behind me while pushing large leaves out of my way. 
A fallen tree nears and I think nothing of it, planning to jump over it the way I leapt over the past 2 logs. However, between a branch, there was a long rope it stretched around. I in the heat of the moment didn’t see it. When I jumped, I didn’t jump high enough and my left ankle got caught. 
The rope tangled and trapped my foot to the log. I screamed as I fell to the ground and tried getting up but the more I pulled against the rope the more it tightened. 
I cried out and panicked, knowing damn well this wasn’t some native creature's trap. My hands were clawing at the rope trying to undo it or push it down but it was wrapped too tight already and I was stuck. 
My ears tipped back and my tail stilled as I tried not to make any more noise. Maybe they wouldn’t know I’ve been caught. 
Then, I froze. Examining the knots on the trap I realised who must have done it. One specific recom soldier had once shown me how to set up traps and one looked just like this. 
Before I can come to a conclusion, I hear leaves rustling behind me and then someone chuckles. I whip my upper body around and meet Ja’s eyes. Fuck. I scramble to my feet and try to run, hoping it would tear, but the rope tightens even more and I’m back on the ground. I turn around, leaning on my elbows as I look up at Ja. 
He’s just standing there, examining me. The man seems pleased. 
“Come back, I got her.” he says while pressing the call on his throat. 
“Noo.” I whine and complain, still trying to tug my ankle away from the rope. He watches me with amusement as I try to figure out his trap. 
Seconds later, the leaves on the other side rustle and Prager emerges, almost instantly noticing me stretched out on the grass. 
“Nice catch.” He grins at Ja and they high-five each other before turning to me. Prager must have purposefully made the noise that caused me to run. Damn, they had it planned out. 
I have given up. I glare up at them and huff. The exaggerated exhale moves the hair in my face out of my way. My tail thuds against the ground, showing them my annoyance. 
“That’s not fair. Colonel didn’t say you can use traps.” I complain and Ja’s smirk intensifies. 
“He didn’t say we can’t use ‘em either.” he replied, walking over to me and removing the trap from the log, holding the rope attached to my foot in his hand. 
“Are you not going to undo it? It’s starting to fuckin’ hurt.” I say, giving him attitude. I didn’t want to be caught. I wanted to return to base victorious. 
Little did I know, that was never on the menu. Once Prager and Ja heard the rules of the ‘game’, they exchanged looks and made up their minds. They weren’t going home until they caught you. Only they could catch you and they had to find you first. 
“How about you stop runnin’ your dirty mouth and ask me nicely.” Ja says, stopping his actions and looking at me. His words surprise me. He was usually polite and sweet. Can’t say it didn’t start stirring excitement in me though.
I raise an eyebrow while Prager chuckles. He can’t be serious. 
“You better listen, princess. Or do you want the others to find you like this?” Prager adds and I glance up at him before returning my gaze to my slowly becoming strangled ankle. The rope is digging into my skin and it’s starting to really hurt. 
And I really didn’t want the entire team to see me fall for such a small trap.
I sigh, accepting defeat again. “Can you please help me?” I ask nicely, adding an innocent tone to it and looking at Ja pleadingly. His ears perk up at my words and he just stares at me in silence for a few seconds before snapping out of it. 
“Damn baby, you do that again and we’ll both be done for.” He chuckles, looking away quickly. I tilt my head to the side, pretending to wonder what he meant. I could think of one meaning and it worsened the heat between my legs. 
He pulls out a pocket knife and starts to cut open the ropes. I notice how he fully concentrates on the blade as if he really doesn’t want to accidentally cut my skin. 
Zdinarsk would slice through it once and not look again if she accidentally cut me. We were good friends, but minor wounds meant nothing to her. A scratch really wasn’t anything big anyway.
I decide to play with him. My leg has been still this entire time, so when I think the time is right I suddenly flinch. 
Ja is startled and pulls the knife away looking up at me with wide eyes before checking for a wound. I lean back, fully laying on the ground and laughing. 
“Cut it out.” he snarls, getting back to it. This time, he firmly holds my leg in place. “I could have hurt you.” 
“So what?” I chuckle, looking back at him. He doesn’t answer me, instead, Ja just shoots me a glare. 
I sigh, laying back down and throwing my hands over my face. Finally, I got to relax. 
“Ugh, you guys I’m so tired. That took longer than expected.” I say, smiling to myself. 
Prager scoffs. “We found you first. And you fell right into the trap.” he mocks me. I unfold my arms and glare up at him. 
“Great, mission accomplished. Let’s go back.” I say but they don’t answer. I notice their tails acting up, showing forms of excitement. What had them feeling so happy?
Ja finally finishes opening the ropes and sees the red marks on my skin. I sit up, pulling my leg to me and rubbing the area. He’s putting his knife back into his holster and I suddenly realise I’m not being held down anymore. I know I won’t get far unless I’m really lucky. But there is still a chance of me making it back alone before they do. It’s not over yet. 
The next second, I scramble to my feet and start running in the opposite direction. 
Little did I know, Prager was eyeing me while Ja was busy. He was expecting that from me and he got it. I didn’t get far at all. After three long strides, I was tackled back to the ground. I yelped, falling into the grass again. Prager held me down and reached for my hands. He pulled them behind my back and held them there with one of his hands while his knee rested on my lower back, keeping me firmly pressed down. 
“Dammit.” I mumble, lifting my head and looking back at Prager. 
“Nice try, sweetheart. Unfortunately, we’re not gonna let that happen.” Prager spoke, looking up at Ja who was now holding the ropes. “Not with you lookin’ this good.” he joked and Ja smirked, exhaling through his nose. 
I frown because they were confusing me. The team never paid as much attention to me as they did to Z-Dog or Walker. Why suddenly now?
“Yeah right. I’m covered in dirt.” I snarl, getting annoyed again. 
Prager lets out a small ‘mhm’ while Ja comes around and kneels beside me. I start to struggle beneath Prager and manage to pull one arm from his grasp. I try to lift myself off the ground with my free hand but I can’t compete with the weight on my back. 
Ja chuckles and I want to slap myself when I feel how his noise makes my stomach twist in excitement. This isn’t fair. My body is broken. 
“If you keep strugglin’ we’re gonna have to tie you down.” Ja says, his voice seeming more positive than the threat of words he just let out. 
I whine out in frustration, letting myself drop and rest on the ground. My ears are strained back and my tail is flicking in irritation, occasionally caressing Prager’s thigh. 
Suddenly, to my relief, Prager stands up and I’m helped up by Ja. He’s holding my upper arm, just to make sure I don’t bolt again. I look down and see the dirt on my sports bra and some loose grass stuck to my skin. Prager stands next to me and then without hesitation, Ja starts brushing the dirt off. All of it. Meaning he started with my stomach before pushing some hair over my shoulder and swiping away the dirt on my sports bra with two quick movements. 
I freeze and my body tenses when he does this. I watched his hand and flinched a little. The sensitivity of my nipples surprised me and I was scared they would see them through the fabric if I stood in front of them for too long. 
Ja retreated his hand and looked up at me. 
“That hurt?” Prager asks, probably wondering if I’m injured.
I swallow nervously, looking down and shaking my head no. They keep looking at me without saying a word and I feel my cheeks start to burn. I’m afraid they will notice my state.
“Let’s go back.” I mumble before stepping away from both of them and leading the way. Ja lets his hand fall from my arm. They were going to keep a close eye on me, but I didn’t have the strength to attempt to run away again. 
Prager and Ja exchanged looks before following after me, holding their weapons ready because they knew I didn’t have one for protection. 
Let’s just say, the walk didn’t last long at all. 
After a few minutes, I felt the warm heat between my legs become an almost burning sensation. I noticed my skin became warm and my cheeks never stopped blushing. A sweat bead formed on my forehead which I swiped away. My breathing got heavier too and I had to concentrate on not breaking out in a pant. What the fuck was this? Nothing like this ever happened before. I knew it was because of my new body and I assumed this is what going into a type of heat felt like. But my cycle wasn’t meant to start yet. Maybe it was Ja and Prager’s presence that had me so worked up. 
Eventually, I started to slow down and they overtook me. Both men lead the way now and I was thanking whoever was watching over us that they didn’t stop and check on me. My behaviour was embarrassing. We worked together. Why couldn’t I just stay professional like them? They were acting normal. 
That my friends was a lie I didn’t know about. I looked up to see Prager and Ja walking with guns in their hands, looking around and making sure there is no danger. This is how they acted on a normal mission. What I hadn’t noticed due to my current desperate state was how their eyes would linger on me a little too long and how they had to fight off the need to touch and be close to me. 
Being human made it easier for everyone to work with each other and never have to go through this. The human body was different to the Na’vi body, not just by looks but by nature and senses. 
Since the Deja blue team woke up as recoms, needs started building up and they were much more difficult to deal with than regular horniness. It became almost painful. 
I cursed myself and wished I could feel normal again. But it was too much. Usually, I could resist and fight off anything including headaches, period cramps, injuries like scratches etc. I could even hold back tears for as long as a few days. But this was a whole new level of intensity. 
I stopped walking, bending over and leaning my arms on my knees. One of my arms wrapped itself around my waist for some sense of comfort while I closed my eyes, panting and concentrated on pushing this feeling away. My body felt like I had just been laying in the sun for a few hours and my knees felt weak. 
I knew they would notice that I wasn’t behind them and they would see me like this, but with the way I was feeling now, I couldn’t care less. Sure, I would prefer to be alone to hide but I just needed to focus on feeling okay again. 
After a few seconds, Ja didn’t hear your uneven, lazy footsteps anymore. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure you were still there but he noticed your figure much further away than anticipated. His body came to a halt and turned around to face you.
Prager saw Ja turning around from the corner of his eye and stopped, following his eyes to you. 
They just watched you for a while, seeing the way your chest was heaving as if you had been running and the way you struggled to stand on one spot without tipping to one side. The way your tail flicked uncontrollably didn’t go unnoticed either. 
I kept slowly falling over to one side, unable to keep still. I felt oddly dizzy. 
Quickly, I glanced up, hoping both soldiers had gone past the leaves but no. Their eyes were already fixed on me. 
I scoffed, in an attempt to suppress what was happening and took a few unbalanced steps back. I waved my arm in the air as if I were pushing myself away from them and looked back down, clutching my face in my hands. 
I let my palms slide down my hot face and almost tumbled backwards again. Covering my eyes was not a good idea. 
“What the fuck.” I whisper to myself, wanting to scream and oddly even cry? I didn’t understand anything. 
Prager and Ja exchanged eye contact again, questioning their hypothesis. Prager had a smirk on his lips while Ja tried at least suppressing his grin by biting his lip. Ja let his head drop and he shook it still smiling, not believing this was happening to him and his friend. 
Then he took a breath and started making his way over to you. Prager followed, neither of their eyes leaving you. They were analysing every single movement. That included the way your ears twitched in their direction when you picked up their footsteps. 
I hear them approaching me and it makes me nervous. Suddenly, their presence intimidates me. Usually, I would joke around with them and often make fun of them. Now, I felt like they had the authority of someone even higher than fucking Quaritch. 
“No.” I breathe out, the noise barely audible. I press the back of my hand against my mouth, to stop them from seeing my bared fangs. Somehow, my mouth started salivating intensely and my hot breath was condensing against the skin of my hand. I pull it away, turning away from them but they see the thin string of saliva snap, that connected my lips and hand. 
“What’s wrong, babygirl?” Ja asks in a teasing manner. I can fucking hear the grin on his face with the way he says those words. I want to glare at him but I know it won’t work. 
“I would roll my eyes so hard right now.” I mumble, refusing to face them. 
They scoff behind me while I try to release the tension in my jaw by opening my mouth and biting down on my teeth. 
I feel a hand creep up on my shoulder and I’m not sure who it belongs to but it really doesn’t matter. I slap it away before returning both hands to cover my face. 
“How do you feel?” Prager asks. I consider answering his question because I can tell he isn’t holding back laughter like Ja was. 
“Too much…” I mumble, groaning into my palms and letting my head drop back in frustration. 
“Too much of what?” he continues to push it while I try to stumble away from them. As soon as I stretch my leg to take a step and start tilting forward, a hand from behind me tugs me right back by my pants. I look back, seeing the arm lead to Ja and he pulled me even closer than I was before. His finger held me by one of my belt loops and I huffed out a sigh. 
“Of everything!” I whine, feeling my eyes become all glossy. “It fucking- hurts…” I add, letting my hands fall from my face again while focusing on taking deep, steady breaths. 
Suddenly, someone grabs my shoulder and I’ve spun around swiftly. I almost lose balance but the hand steadies me. Prager has me facing both of them now and I see their ears perk in interest and their tails stop moving when they see how flushed I must look. 
“Aww, look at how flustered she is.” Ja coos, moving towards me and cupping my cheek while running his thumb over my burning skin. My eyes flutter closed at the contact. I don’t even notice my reaction because I can’t think staright, but they sure do. 
I feel a little ridiculed so I avert my gaze away from them and onto the forest floor. My hands are holding eachother, my knuckles almost going white and one of my feet is placed on top of the other. 
“So pretty…” he mumbles, moving his hand so that his thumb is under my chin and he is pushing my head up again. 
My eyes shoot to his, going wide and my ears focus forwards. I wasn’t used to being called that and by the way it made butterflies erupt in my stomach, I knew the aftermath of this won’t be good. 
Prager chuckles. “I think she liked that.” he says. Once again, I feel small. They’re talking about me while I’m there as if I meant less than them. But for whatever fucked up reason, my body responded positively to the treatment. 
“That right? You like being called that, baby?” Ja asks, standing fully in front of me now. I can’t respond, I just stare into his eyes. He’s pretty. 
I press my lips together when he calls me baby and then my eyes flicker between him and Prager. 
I feel the heat between my legs again and try to discreetly rub my thighs together but both of their eyes shoot down to see the desperate action. 
“It hurts, huh?” Prager asks, then looking up and smiling at me. 
“I can’t- deal…” I start saying with a whine which is about to break out into a sob. My voice cracks a little and I’m breathing even heavier. 
“Shhh.” Ja coos softly again, pressing his thumb over my closed lips. “Do you want us to help you, pretty girl?” he then asks and my lips part while I exhale a shaky breath as a reaction to the name. Ja smirks, tilting his head to the side and admiring how I look. 
“You can’t.” I whimper. “I don’t even know what’s happening I-” 
I’m cut off when Ja takes a step even closer, his face just inches from mine. 
“Don’t worry ‘bout it, baby. We know how to help you.” he says, and this time he isn’t smiling. He isn’t angry or anything either. He’s genuine. 
My hot breath fans against the side of his hand as I stare at them. 
“That okay with you?” Ja asks, gazing deep into my eyes. 
“You can trust us, angel. We promise to make you feel good.” Prager added. He was right, I could trust them. And feeling good sounded like the best thing in the world right now. Definitely compared to the dreadful frustration I was filled with. 
You are a close friend of theirs, they care a lot about you. Well, we’ll see about friends after this. It was their priority to ensure that you were comfortable with this. Not just this, but comfortable with them. They needed to know that you trusted them enough and wanted them to be the ones to see you in such a vulnerable state. 
Neither one of the soldiers was expecting you to say yes. If they had to be honest, you would only say yes in their wildest most unrealistic dreams. 
Ja and Prager were awaiting an answer that would set their minds straight again and that would have them return to going back to base. 
I swallow nervously, my tail wrapping around me as I consider their offer. Then I look at both of them and slowly nod my head in Ja’s hand. 
“Okay.” I whisper, releasing another shaky breath. Prager had already looked back, expecting to turn around but once his ears captured my words, his attention was all mine. 
Ja just stared at me, repeating the words in his head. 
They looked at each other and grinned before their gaze returned to me. 
“Let us take care of it, baby.” Ja said, before moving his hand to the back of my neck and pulling me to him while he took a step forward. I was pressed up against his chest, my skin tingling at the contact. 
He pulled my face to him and I closed my eyes once his lips were softly pressed against mine. 
The softness and gentleness were gone too quickly. He deepened the kiss, wrapping one arm around my waist and pressing his abdomen to mine. I gasped at his large hand holding my hip and he used the opportunity to press his tongue past the boundary of my lips. I accepted, feeling only needier for his touch the more he gave to me. 
Finally, he pulled away and I gasped for air. Prager had removed his vest and weapons already, standing upright again in just his tank top and cammies. And his headband of course. 
His muscles flexed and shone in the golden sun of the late afternoon and I just stared at his torso. He saw my eyes checking him out and smiled. 
Ja was quickly removing his accessories and peeled his tank top off as well. I watch him and then notice Prager does the same.
I realised I was standing and watching like an idiot. The feeling of burning skin returned and suddenly, everything I had on felt like it was too much. 
All three of us were quickly stripping until we were only in underwear. I struggled with my belt but finally managed to push my pants down and kick my shoes off. When I looked up, they were both staring. 
“Fuck, baby. You look gorgeous.” Ja almost whimpers, kicking his cammies to the side. 
“Angel from fuckin’ heaven.” Prager adds, taking me by the hand and pulling me flush against his chest. I yelp a little but almost instantly being silenced when he has his turn kissing. He’s a little more impatient than Ja and holds me to him tighter. I kiss him back, mirroring his frustration and twirling my hands around his neck and in his bandana. 
I felt him smile into the kiss. The bandana was something I would always tease him about and here I was, twirling it around my fingers while kissing him. 
I felt another hot body press up against me, from behind this time. I knew it was Ja and I relaxed a little. As much as I could relax with the tension I felt. 
Both his arms hugged my waist and I felt him press his hard-on against my ass. I feel his hot breath fan over my craned-up neck as I try and reach Prager’s lips without having to stand on my toes. 
His hot, wet lips come in contact with the skin on my neck and kiss it softly before nipping at it. 
I let out a soft moan which is muffled by Prager but he felt it and it drives him wild. 
Ja presses his face into the crook of my neck and inhales deeply, sighing and relaxing against me. 
“You smell so good.” he mumbles into me. 
Prager pulls away, gently caressing my cheek before leaning down and doing the same. I freeze as both men bury their faces in each side of my neck. 
Ja groans and Prager curses beneath his breath. 
“I can’t wait much longer.” Prager mumbles, his face still leaning against my skin. I assume his words are directed at Ja.
The other soldier nods, pulling away. 
“You still okay with this?” Ja asks me, patiently waiting for my answer as I turn around and nod. 
“Yes.” I breathe out. My glossy eyes and flustered state confirm my words and he doesn’t have to ask again. 
He smiles, giving me a small nod. He pulls me to him, pecking my cheek before his hands wander along my body. Prager stands behind me now, and I feel him fumble with the material of my sports bra. 
It needs to go, I feel to warm. I feel his fingers slip underneath it and I raise my arms. He gently pulls it over my head, making sure not to nudge my face in the process. When I lower my arms I could swear that Ja’s pupils just doubled in size. 
His lips were slightly parted and he stared at my bare chest. 
“Look at how pretty you are.” Prager praised me, peering down at my breasts from over my shoulder. I smile to myself, blushing. One can’t see the blush from how rosy my cheeks have been this entire time. 
This new amount of attention has me feeling fuzzy and I try to cover myself a little, feeling shy which was completely unlike me. 
Ja’s eyes snap up from my chest to my face. 
“Don’t hide, baby, you’re so beautiful. C’mon. Let’s see ‘em.” Ja encourages me, gently nudging my hands down, still giving me the option to resist. I let them fall to my sides and he smiles. 
“See. You’re too pretty to hide.” 
His hands caress my chest before he starts groping my breasts. I arch my back into his touch when he plays with my nipples and bite my lip. It’s so sensitive that it feels so much better than when I do it. 
Prager is grinding himself into my ass, groaning lowly while watching the action on my body. 
His fingers than curl around the waistband of my panties and when I don’t protest, he pulls them down, letting them drop down my legs. I step out of them and kick them to the side.
“Holy fuck…” Ja groans out, seeing how shiny my wetness made my pussy. 
“Please…” I whine, begging them to touch me. My words dress Ja’s face in a proud smirk while Prager has a shit-eating grin on his face. 
Then, their characters seem to switch. 
“What do you want, baby?” Ja asks me, knowing the answer.
“You know what I mean, Alex.” I reply, purposefully not calling him Ja, just to get him a little irritated.
“Come on, don’t tease.” Prager says, but Ja shrugs it off. 
“I just want to hear the words come out of your pretty mouth. Then, we’ll give you what you want.”
“You need it just as much as me.” I state, not wanting to seem like the only desperate bitch here. I glance down at his piercing erection and his ears flatten in slight defeat. 
“Just say it.” Ja growls and I smirk. 
“I want you both to fuck me until I feel better.”  I reply and Ja is happy again. 
“That’s fuckin’ right.” he snarls, kissing my neck and slapping my thigh before turning me around. 
Ja presses his clothed erection against my bare heat and pushes my upper body forward, while we’re standing. I lean down, obeying and Prager holds me. 
Behind me, Ja gently taps the insides of my ankles, nudging my legs further apart. 
I raise my tail, arching my back and presenting my pussy on full display. An audible groan is heard behind me before I feel his fingers glide through my folds. 
I grip Prager’s arm to keep me grounded as Ja covers the tips of his fingers in my slick and shows it to Prager. 
“Good thing we got her first.” he said and Prager agreed. Then Ja removed his underwear and glided the head of his dick between my folds.
I shiver in anticipation, biting down on my lip as I glance over my shoulder. 
Slowly, Ja starts entering me, pushing past my lips and all the way in until he bottoms out. 
“Oh- fuck.” I curse, not expecting everything to be so sensitive and reactive. 
He stills behind me, relishing in the moment. He hasn’t felt so good in a long time and the way you were squeezing him had him over the moon. 
After a few moments, he started to pull out and when he thrust back in I cried out, feeling overly sensitive inside. 
I clutched onto Prager, who had one hand under my arm and one resting on my head while I leaned my face into his middle. His touch was comforting. 
Soon enough, Ja couldn’t hold back. He started thrusting at a specific pace with long, aimed strokes. 
“God damn, babygirl. Ya feel so good.” he moaned, clenching his teeth together and occasionally letting his head fall back. Ja had his ears tipped back and fangs bared while gritting his teeth. The building-up tension needed to be released. 
I became a whimpering mess, the oversensitivity making me feel close already. 
“You’re doing so well, angel.” Prager praised me and I quieted down. 
“Take it.” Ja growled and soon, I started pressing my hips against his with rhythm. Both of Ja’s hands were now digging into the skin of my hips as he fucked himself into me. 
“I’m gonna- shit I’m gonna cum.” I moan, crying out when he almost knocks the air out of me with an extra harsh thrust. 
“Go ahead.” Ja answers, sounding breathless. His thighs slapped against the back of mine as he started to relentlessly rut into me from behind. 
Prager adjusted his stance so he was able to stably support me while I was being tugged back and forth by his friend. 
My legs started to shake and with a few more thrusts, I came around Ja’s dick. I moaned incoherent words into Prager’s abs, my nails dug into his arms and waist while my back arched back into Ja, making my pussy more accessible to him. 
He rode out my high and soon after me, Ja was cumming. He delivered a harsh slap to my ass and I flinched. Then his hips stilled with his cock as deep inside me as possible and I felt him release into me. The warmth filled my tummy and I was gasping for air. 
Ja had his hands leaning on my back while he regained his composure. Breathlessly, he pulled his slowly softening dick out and watched as my overflowed pussy started leaking his cum down my thighs. 
“Well ain’t that a pretty sight.” he mumbled, swiping his hand over his forehead. 
Prager gently let go of my head and I stood up straight while holding onto him. I felt his cum dribble out of me. Both Prager and I looked between my legs while Ja was smirking, seeming very proud of his work. 
I turn around to Ja while Prager bends me over to examine me from behind. 
“Fuckin’ hell. You’re right.” he agreed with Ja’s previous comment. His fingertips slid through the slick and he groped my ass. 
Ja came up to the front of me and gently wrapped his hand around my braid. 
“You clean me up and I promise to make it up to you on another day.” he said and my eyes widened. I accepted, leaning down while holding on to his hips and licking him clean. I was gentle, knowing he was just as sensitive as I was now. 
When I licked his tip he flinched a little and I grinned up at him. 
“God I can’t get enough of you.” he returned the grin, looking down at me and seeing I licked him clean. “Such a good girl.” 
Prager pulled my waist up and I stood straight again. He grabbed my hand and guided me down on the ground with him. I happily agreed because my wobbly knees were no longer trustworthy. 
I noticed his underwear was already gone and licked my lips, smiling devilishly at him when I saw how hard he was. 
“Come on baby, I need this just as much as you did.” he says, almost pleading so that I don’t leave him like that. 
“I’m not done yet.” I whisper and his eyes widen. I straddle his waist and his hands immediately rest on my hips. 
Letting myself sink down a little, I grind my hips down against his, covering his throbbing cock in Ja’s and my cum. 
He shivers, his grip on my hips tightening and a moan escapes his throat. 
I smirk, feeling a little more confident now. 
To help the poor soldier out, I reach down in between our bodies and line him up with my entrance. He lets out a shaky breath before I steadily start to sink down on him. 
Prager’s eyes close and his mouth hangs open a little. He mutters another curse under his breath as I press our foreheads together. 
I feel like I’m a little more in control of my body again, so I set the pace, rolling my hips back and forth on him. 
He bites his lip, opening his eyes to see my movements. 
“Feel good?” I ask and he looks up at me, almost desperately.
“Fuck yeah.” he breathes out heavily and I smirk. One of his hands comes up to massage my breasts while the other steadily supports my movements on my hip. 
I speed up a little, holding on to his broad shoulders and running my palms along his strong back. Prager is in bliss, his eyes half-lidded and ears drooped. I glance up at Ja, grinning while he is watching and he returns my gaze with a smirk. He was getting dressed but got seemingly distracted.
It feels good and I start to feel a pressure in my lower stomach build-up, but for it to ever be released I need to change it up. 
I pause and move up so that Prager’s dick just barely stays inside me. He looks up, seeming worried I would stop. I chuckle at his reaction, giving him a reassuring kiss as I place my feet on either side of his hips and lower myself down again. 
Prager whimpers, his head lolling back while I clutch onto his shoulders again. 
I look between us and notice a small bulge in my stomach every time I sink down. I take one of his hands and place it on my abdomen. 
He follows my hands with his gaze. 
“Do you feel how deep you are inside me?” I ask and he nods, seeming unable to form a proper answer. 
“Shit, feels so good.” he groans, starting to push my hips down with force. 
Soon enough, my legs got tired but that didn’t stop shit from happening. Prager took over, lifting my waist and pounding it back down on him with his hands as if I weighed nothing. I watched his muscles flex and I arched my back, letting him use me to his liking. 
He became more sloppy and uneven with his movements and I could tell he was close when his dick twitched. 
“Y/N, I’m close…” he breathed out and I nodded, closing my eyes. 
“Me too.” I whisper, trying to breathe while being fucked mercilessly by his hands and dick. “Just keep going.” I encourage him and he nods, a few beads of sweat forming on his forehead. 
With the next few thrusts, I’m surprised I’m cumming again just through penetration. Maybe the Na’vi body really was something else, perhaps even better than the human body. 
This time, my legs were a trembling mess, my eyes rolled to the back of my head and my nails dug into Prager’s back. He continued fucking me and then came aswell. He tried to ride out his orgasm but soon stiled like Ja, to ensure he could fill me up with enough of his cum. Prager bit down on my neck, not too harshly but enough to make my eyes open widely.
Another bonus of the Na’vi body. No protected sex. I couldn’t get pregnant as long as we didn’t form tsaheylu so it was great.
My pussy throbbed and I was completely fucked out. My legs gave out and I fell forwards on my knees, my chest pressing against Prager’s bare chest. I wrapped my arms around him, resting my head on his shoulder and he did the same as we regained our breath. 
“Well ain’t that sweet.” I heard Ja tease from my right. I look up at him, sending him a playful glare which made him laugh. 
Prager wrapped his hands around my waist, genuinely holding me to him for a while until he felt my heartbeat calm down. 
“You’re amazing.” he whispers and I giggle, kissing his cheek before slowly getting off of his lap. Ja helps me to my feet while Prager stands up and gets dressed. 
“Where’s my underwear?” I ask, looking around when Ja only hands me my cammies. When I look back up at him, he’s grinning. That answers my question. I look down and see it hanging from his pocket. He pulls it out and cleans my thighs with it before tucking it back into his pants. 
“Really?” I ask and he nods.
“Yeah, I’ll give ‘em back in a week in exchange for some new ones.” he smirks and I chuckle. 
I’m helped back into my clothes by Ja who is preventing me from tipping over to one side again and once Prager is done he helps me put my sports bra on again. 
“Thanks.” I say to them and they smile.
“Anythin’ for you, angel.” Ja grins, picking up his weapons and throwing some over to Prager. Once they are geared up we start to return back to base. The sun was starting to set. 
Both men walk on either side of me, supporting me when I needed it. It was really sweet actually. I was significantly less angry at Quaritch for making us do this exercise.

can you write the lost boys having a lesbian bff? i feel like the dynamic would be sm fun
Tumblr media
Shared Interests:
(When I first got this ask I was like, ‘Oh so you mean the boys and Star?’ Lol)
Poly! Lost boys with a lesbian bff
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Paul whistled as he watched a stunning brunette saunter down the boardwalk. “Damn” he said, “I love Santa Carla.” You placed your arms on his shoulder and peaked around.
“She is gorgeous,” you said, “you think she listens to girl in red?”
“Hey back off!” Paul said back, brushing you off his shoulder, “I saw her first!”
“Yeah but I’m gonna get her number first,” you told him slipping away.
“Hey no fair!” He yelled after you, crossing his arms and pouting.
The boys laughed to themselves as they watched Paul sulk, while you spoke with the brunette. “Better luck next time Paulie,” David said.
After awhile you walked back over, hands behind your back. “So?” Paul asked. You smiled and flashed Paul a card with the woman’s number.
Paul sighed and nodded, “game respects game,”he said.
You laughed, “actually she’s straight, but I told her my handsome blonde friend was single,” you told him, winking.
You flipped the card over to display the other side which read -xoxo Sasha call anytime;)
Paul picked you up and twirled you in the air while you giggled uncontrollably. “You’re the absolute best!” He said “I owe you one!!!” Then he put you down as he ran off to catch up with Sasha. You rolled your eyes as you turned to Marko.
“Still wanna do it?” You asked him
His lip quirked up into a half-smile, “of course,” he said while slipping you a folded piece of paper.
You unfolded the paper and flashed him a matching smile. “Perfect,” you said.
Back at the cave, you had Marko sitting on the fountain, with your tattoo gun in your gloved hand. “Now I’m just going to tell you now, this is a pretty big piece and it might take a couple hours. Are you sure you’re gonna be able to stay still for all that time?” Marko rolled his eyes, “of course,” he said, annoyed, “what am I six?” You stared at him for a second in silence. He rolled his eyes, “ok ok, I’ll stay still, c’monnnn” You looked down at the picture he’d sketched out for you.
“Why is the bat flying away from a burning building?” You asked him.
“Because he set the building on fire,” he told you matter-o-factly
“Oh, so the bat’s you?” You asked back laughing to yourself
He smirked, “of course,” he told you.
You smiled as you dipped the needle into the ink and positioned the stylus so that your hand would be steady. The needle sprung to life and started buzzing as it made contact with Marko’s skin. You held your other hand against his arm, keeping the skin flat so you could have a steady canvas on which to place Marko’s design.
After an hour passed, you watched as Marko’s knee bounced up and down rapidly. His hyperactive spirit was, normally, one of your favorite things about him. But if he made you mess up this design, you’d have to stake him.
You sighed and turned the gun off, “need a break?” you asked him.
He whipped his head around to look at you. “Please?” He pleaded, “I’m dying over here.”
You laughed, “aren’t you already dead?”
He rolled his eyes, but smiled as you, “can’t you just shut up and let me run around a bit?” He asked.
“Go ahead,” you said, shaking your head at his dramatics.
You sighed as you watched him sprint off, placing your tattoo gun in its case for the time being. You picked up your tote bag and headed to Dwayne’s alcove. He was reading his beat up copy of Animal Farm as you walked in.
“Re-reading?” You asked him
“At least once every two years,” he told you, dog-earring the page he was on. “What’s up?” He asked you.
You dug around in your bag for a bit before pulling out his heavily tabbed copy of the Bell Jar, “brought this back,” you said, holding it out for him. “We’ll have to find time to discuss I have…thoughts.”
He smiled as he took the book back from you, “thanks, I’d love to,” he told you. “Let me grab yours,” he said before reaching over to his milk crates full of books, and pulling out a copy of The Collected poems of Emily Dickinson. “She’s a talented wordsmith,” he said, placing the book in your hands, “thanks for recommending.”
You flashed him a smile, “anytime,” you told him.
He grabbed Anna Karenina from his crates and handed it to you, “I put aside this one for you to read next” he told you.
You flipped through it groaning, “almost nine hundred pages Dwayne?” You whined, “not all of us have an eternity of time to read books!”
He smirked at you, “guess you better go ahead and get started then hmm?”
You sighed as you trudged out of Dwayne’s room, the massive book weighing down your tote bag. As you walked into the main lobby of the cave, you caught sight of David sitting in his wheelchair throne. He turned to face you as you strolled in.
“Got a light?” He asked you.
You fished around in your bag before pulling out your lighter, “only if you’ve got an extra cig,” you replied.
He rolled his eyes but handed one to you. You lit his before lighting yours, then the two of you descended into comfortable silence as you smoked.
“You think Paul’s scared that girl off yet,” he asked you out of nowhere.
You chuckled to yourself “are you really in any position to judge his flirting methods?” You asked, “he told me about Michael in ‘87.”
David grumbled something under his breath about muzzling Paul while you laughed. You looked around a bit, noticing Marko was still no where in sight. You looked down at your watch, grimacing when you saw how late, (or early) it was.
“I should probably head back,” you said tossing your cigarette to the ground and stomping it out with your boot. “Tell Marko I said we’ll finish outlining his tattoo tomorrow yeah?”
David snorted, “yeah good luck with that”
You rolled your eyes, “maybe we can sedate him or something, that should keep him still.”
David smirked as he took another drag, “till tomorrow night?” He asked.
“Till tomorrow night,” you replied.
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Valentine's Mini Fic // Eris Vanserra
Tumblr media
My boy, my main Autumn Court man, it is always so much fun writing him. And of course, with all the sass and drama he comes with I had to give him one of my favorite tropes. This is one of the cutest things I have ever written and I hope you guys just drown in all of the fluff, it’s also something totally different and I hope I executed it correctly. :)
WARNINGS: None
Trope: Enemies to Lovers, Fairytale
The room was warm and cozy as your two daughters ran around in their nightgowns, their hair wet from their baths while you chided them about bedtime. 
“Come now girls, it is way past your bedtime. I want you in bed and asleep in the next five minutes.” You said, rolling your eyes playfully as they started groaning in annoyance.
“But mom, we just started playing!” Thea, the eldest one, pouted.
“Yeah! We aren’t ready for bed yet, we have to finish our story!” Her sister Calidia joined in, crossing her arms. 
You glanced over the swords and maps in their hands, raising an eyebrow while smoothing out the tops of their blankets.  Bedtime was always a battle with them though you shouldn’t be surprised, their father is the same way.
So, you decided to indulge them just a bit. “And what story would that be? Is it the one about the dragons and pirates?”
Calidia shakes her head, her amber eyes sparkling in the lamplight. “No, no, not that one! We don’t have our dragon wings!”
“Ahh, how silly of me. I should’ve known.” You chuckled softly. “Well then, what is it?”
“It’s princesses and princes.” Thea grinned, two of her bottom teeth missing giving her a slight lisp. “We’re reading stories about them in school.”
“Oh is that so? Well,” You paused, grinning from ear to ear as you leaned down like you were telling a secret. “What if I told you I once knew a princess and Prince?”
“For real life?!” Calidia gasped, running over to you in an instant. “You knew a princess?”
Thea followed closely behind her sister, both of them staring at you in awe. You nodded and motioned for them to get in bed. “I did. We were very close, and if you go lay down I might just tell you the story.”
They both ran as fast as they could to their respective beds, bringing their sheets and blankets up to their chins while you stood in between them. You could tell they were practically vibrating in excitement as you began your story as all children's stories do.
“Once upon a time…”
The princess was walking through the woods, a basket in her hand as she collected various berries and plants so she could make her favorite dessert when the sound of breaking twigs caught her attention. 
It only took a few seconds before she had to scramble several feet away as a group of horses and riders broke through the trees. They were not paying attention to where they were going, only focusing on the hunt as their dogs chased after a giant stag.
Trumpets chorused as a prince appeared in the front, his red hair tied back neatly as he scanned the area. He was as handsome as princes come, with amber eyes that reminded her of honey and a face that was blessed by the stars above. If he and his men hadn’t nearly run her over, she could see herself blushing over him.
“Hey! Excuse me!” She yelled, waving her arm to catch his attention. The prince looked over, his eyes widening at the sight of her, before making his way to her quickly. 
“No one is supposed to be out in these woods.” The prince said, narrowing his eyes. “Who are you?”
“I am a princess who is visiting this kingdom. I came out here to collect some things and then I suddenly find myself almost knocked down by you all.” The princess frowned, her head held high. “Next time I suggest you watch where you are going.”
“And next time, princess, I suggest you do not wander places you don’t belong.” The prince retorted, rolling his eyes at her attitude. “You are a guest in my kingdom, I do not take orders from you.”
“Stop!” Thea shouted, holding her hand up as you turned to look at her. “Is the prince a bad prince?”
“Yeah, why is he being so mean to the princess?” Calidia asked, her eyebrows furrowed. “I thought all princes were supposed to be nice.”
You smirked and folded your hands in your lap. “Unfortunately they aren’t all nice, but don’t worry, the story isn’t over yet.”
They glanced at each other, shrugging, before turning their attention back to you as you continued.
The princess scoffed at the prince’s bad manners. First, he had almost run her over, and now he was insulting her. She took a deep breath and turned back towards the castle, not wanting to give him the time of day. However, she couldn’t resist calling over her shoulder to him for one last jab.
“By the way, the stag is far gone now. I hope you’re better at ruling than you are hunting.”
She heard him yell something but she did not stop. It was starting to grow dark and there was still dinner that she had to clean up for. Once she returned to her room and got dressed, the prince had left her mind entirely. 
Her mother came to collect her to go to the great hall, her father was already inside and drinking with the prince’s father. She could smell the delicious food from halfway down the hall, her stomach growling as they both stepped inside. The prince’s father greeted her, as well as his mother, to which she returned their kindness with a bow.
“You have such a lovely home, thank you for inviting us.” She smiled as she sat down, folding the napkin in her lap as her mother taught her. “I am famished.”
“Well our son hasn’t returned yet but we can still eat.” The prince’s mother sighed, looking towards the door as everyone started to dig in. As the princess piled her plate with the food she heard the chair next to her scrape along the marble, a flash of red flicking forward in the corner of her eye.
“Sorry I am late, I know it is rude of me.” The voice apologized and the princess gasped, her head whipping to look at the prince who had sat beside her. “I was out hunting and thanks to someone, we lost sight and smell of the stag.”
The princess tightened her grasp on her silverware. 
“Who caused you to lose it?” The prince’s mother asked, frowning. “Is it one of the new guards?”
“No one of importance. I just hope they learned their lesson.” He replied while taking a sip of his wine, glancing at the princess from the corner of his eye. 
As dinner continued the princess and the prince kept stealing glances at each other. It was tense between the two of them though their parents were too enraptured in their trades and bargains to pay them any attention. 
When the princess went to grab the last lemon cake from the golden tray in front of her, another hand went to take it as well. She turned to look at the prince, their hands barely brushing against each other before she snatched the cake quickly. 
“Didn’t your mother teach you manners, young prince?” The princess teased, taking a delicate bite and groaning at the taste. She missed the way the prince tensed at her overexaggerated reaction. 
“Funny, I was about to ask you the same.” He retorted while taking another gulp of wine. “Though I would imagine someone raised to run barefoot through the forest and dress like that is about as civilized as my hounds.”
She visibly winced at his comment, her pride stinging as if she had just been nicked with an arrow. The prince could tell he took it too far but he was not the kind of man who would apologize first. The princess scowled, her face turning red in embarrassment, before dropping the cake on her plate loudly and standing up.
“You are the most egotistical, idiotic, and ill-mannered prince I have ever met.” She shouted, everyone’s conversations coming to a halt when she threw her napkin at the prince’s face. “I shall hope to never lay eyes on you again, your grace.”
And with that she stormed out of the room, her mother chasing after her while her father gave many apologies to the prince’s parents. The prince sat there, staring at where she had just been, and felt an unusual pang of guilt in his gut.
He knew he had been less than kind to the princess, not even giving her a chance before he pushed her away, but that was the way he was. He didn’t want to get to
know anyone, he preferred to be lonely. Or so he used to think. If he truly felt that way still…why did he want to chase after her?
The next morning the prince had decided to go pay her a visit before breakfast, wanting to clear the air for the sake of their families. But when he opened her door after no reply, he found it empty of all her things. 
“Did the princess leave?” Calidia asked, hugging her stuffed fox closely to her body. “Did she run away in the night?”
“I hope she did! That prince was so mean to her, I would run away too!” Thea frowned, crossing her arms. “I would never, ever, ever marry a prince like that.”
“Yeah me either, not even if he had a hundred castles.” Calidia stuck her tongue out in disgust, the two of them giggling as you laughed along with them. “Would you, mom?”
You raised your hands and shrugged, smiling mischievously before continuing on with the story. “Let’s see what happens next.”
Many years passed after the prince and the princess had met. She had kept her promise to herself that she would never see him again, avoiding all invitations and places that he might be at. Her parents had always wondered why she had cast him aside like that but they chose not to push, feeling as if fate might bring them back together soon enough. 
It was now the eve of her twenty-third birthday and the princess was anxious. Her parents were hosting a ball in her honor, with many people attending from around the continent. She knew that her parents were wanting her to find a husband tonight, to start a courtship to strengthen their kingdom, but the princess did not want that.
She hadn’t found any prince remotely interesting so far and here recently her dreams had been haunted by a prince with red hair and amber eyes. It was like the gods were teasing her. 
After pacing around her room she decided to go out for a walk in the woods behind their castle, the warm summer air feeling nice against her skin. It was almost dark but she was not afraid, she knew these woods like the back of her hand.  She snuck out her window and climbed down to the ground, taking off into the night.
The soft moss on the ground felt nice under her toes as she went down one of her favorite paths. There was a babbling brook on her left side, a small meadow in front of her, and to her right, a man strung up in a hunting trap.
Wait.
She turned sharply, eyes widening in shock, and ran over to help. He was grunting in frustration, desperately trying to reach the rope that had tied his feet when he caught sight of her.
“Oh thank the gods.” The man sighed in relief, beginning to explain what had happened until the princess stopped a few feet away. She realized it wasn’t just any man caught in the trap…it was the prince from her childhood.
“It’s you.” The princess faltered, staring into the eyes of the man who had caused her much grief. He was more rugged, with frown lines on the top of his forehead though it did not take away from how beautiful he was. She cursed the butterflies that swam in her stomach, a small part of her wondering if this was the reason she had been dreaming of him recently.
“Princess, I-” The prince began but she stood straighter and crossed her arms, turning her head away. 
“I made a promise that I would never lay my eyes upon you again, prince.” She said, glaring off into the horizon. “Maybe if you weren’t somewhere you didn’t belong you wouldn’t find yourself hanging upside down.”
“Still holding that over my head, huh?” His lips turned into a crooked smile. “I know it wasn’t the kindest thing but-”
“No, there are no buts.” She interrupted, throwing her hands up in frustration. “What are you even doing out here?”
“I’ve come for your ball, to see you.” The prince said honestly, taking her off guard. It made her heart skip a beat. They hadn’t spoken in five years, he knew she was avoiding him, and yet he still traveled all this way to see her. 
All of these new emotions were confusing her brain and the prince seemed to be enjoying how he had shocked her, even if he was still hanging upside down. The princess sighed and grabbed a small knife she kept sheathed in her shoe, cutting down the rope.
He grunted when he hit the cool forest floor with a thump, relief etched on his face as he lay there for a few minutes. The princess rolled her eyes, stuffing the knife back into its place and turning to walk away. She needed to distance herself from him.
The prince scrambled to his feet, called her name, and started to run after her when she refused to turn back. He caught her arm and pulled her a little too roughly, sending both of them tumbling backward when he lost his footing. 
She landed on top of him, their legs intertwined and their noses touching as they shared the same breaths for several moments. It was as if time had frozen, her heart thudding in her chest while his eyes briefly dropped to her lips.
“Kiss him, kiss him!” Cladia shouted, sitting up straight in anticipation while Thea was hastily shaking her head in opposition.
“No, don’t!” Thea whined. “Mom please don’t make them kiss.”
“And why not? Don’t you think the prince is romantic?” A voice from the bedroom door asked, all of you turning to look and smiling when you saw your mate leaning against it.
“Eris…” You chided, blushing when he came to sit beside you and pulled you into his lap. “You’re interrupting our story.”
“I just want to know why my daughter doesn’t think the princess and prince should kiss, Y/N.” He smirks, glancing over at his two girls. “I think the prince has been perfectly respectable this whole story.”
“Pfft, you would.” You muttered under your breath, snickering when you felt a pinch on your hip.
“No, the prince has been so mean, dad!” Thea argued, standing up on her bed with her hands on her hips. “Did you not hear what he was saying?”
“Oh, he wasn’t that bad, Thea.” Eris countered, moving you off his lap and scooping her into his arms. She squealed with laughter as he turned and grabbed Calidia as well, holding them tight as they giggled until their faces were red. “I think he was just intimidated by the princess.”
You rolled your eyes and stood, snatching Calidia and kissing her head before laying her back in bed. “Okay, okay, that’s enough. It’s time for them to go to sleep.”
Eris slowly came to a stop and followed your lead with Thea, kissing her cheek while she exclaimed, “But mom, you didn’t finish the story! What did the princess do?”
“Yeah did she kiss him?” Calidia added, her eyes wide with curiosity. 
“Well…” You gazed at your mate, tilting your head as he watched you with laughter in his eyes. “I guess we’ll have to find out tomorrow.”
The girls began to protest but you held up your hand, giving them both a serious look before walking to the door with Eris. “Uh uh, it is late. I promise to tell you the rest tomorrow, okay?”
They nodded and you and Eris blew them kisses, snuffing out the lamp before quietly shutting the door. The two of you began walking to your room, hand in hand, as the moon lit up the hallway. 
“Do I get to know if the princess kissed him?” Eris asked playfully, pulling you into his arms when you arrived at your bedroom door.
“Hmm…” You pondered out loud, glancing towards the door before back at him. “I suggest we head into the bedroom and you can find out for yourself.”

“DAD!!! I’m Home!” you said as you walked into your Boston home. Dodgers pitter-patter could be heard on the wood floor as you saw him approach you. “Hey buddy, look at what I got you!” you said as you put the Puppaccino in front of his face. You just got back from therapy, and you always treat yourself after every session. And you treat Dodger for being your unofficial emotional support dog. 
You looked up as you heard your dad's voice echo through the house. “Seriously, Y/n! You know those aren't good for him.” Chris said as he hurried down the stairs and pulled Dodger away from the cup, leading him towards the water bowl to help Dodger process the whipped cream. “But he deserves it; he does a lot for this family and me,” you said as you trailed behind him. “We have treats at home for him to munch on, not this sugar.” 
“Okay, okay, sorry, Dad,”  you said as you put your Starbucks drink on the counter. You went to the pantry and grabbed a bag of your favorite chips. “So, how was it?” Chris asked as he looked at you. Chris was very respectful when it came to your session. Even though you were still a minor, he never asked your therapist what happened in the sessions because it was private. You opened up about your depression a couple of months ago, which is why you went.
“It was okay,” you said as you shrugged your shoulders. “we made something today called a safety plan.” you set the bag of Y/F/S on the counter and started munching. Chris looked at you and tilted his head. “What's that?” he said as he looked at you. You took a deep breath before continuing. “It's not a big deal as it is, but just if I ever feel the ‘bad thoughts’ come through, it's what I would do, so I don't listen to them,” you said casually. It wasn't a big deal to you, but to your dad, it was a different story. 
Chris took a second to take this information in. Of course, he didn't want to hear this his kid was thinking about ending their life. And the fact that it wasn't a big deal to them as well as alarming. “Okay,” he said as he sat on the stool next to you. “And what do you do during ‘this’?” Chris asked, not sure how to explain it. “Well,” you said as you took a chip into your mouth, “I would first make sure I'm in a safe space, if not get to one. Then I would call you or Scotty if you don't answer. And if neither of you answers, I will text some of my close friends. And basically, you guys would help me talk and remain calm. But as I said, I haven't gotten to that point yet so there is nothing to worry about,” you stated. 
“Are you worried about these thoughts?” Chris asked in a quiet voice. “I mean a little, but also I feel I’m in good hands if I ever get in that situation. I know you and Scott have my back if I ever get in that place. I have an amazing family that I know is there for me.” you said as you rested your head on your dad's shoulder.
“Yeah, we are!” You heard at the front door. You looked up to see your Uncle Scott come in with a bag of your favorite food. “You told him, I assume?” he said as he started to unpack the bag. “Told me what?” Chris asked with a confused face. You looked at him annoyed, “What I just told you, doofus,” you spoke as you got up to give your Uncle Scott a hug. 
“Wait how did Scott know about this before me?” Chris spoke. “He called while I was driving back from therapy, and he had a right to know that if I want to die I will call him,” you stated calmly. The men gave you a look that you know all too well. The look that said ‘you shouldn't be joking about it’. “Hey it's the truth, isn't it?” you continued as you got ready to help with dinner. “I mean yes, but-” Chris started. 
“But it shouldn't be something you should be taken lightly. We love you a lot Y/n and hearing you say stuff like that hurts our hearts. You know we are always,” Scott said as he pulled you into a fight hug and kissed your head, “ALWAYS here for you. Got it toots?” you sighed and smiled against your uncle. “Got it, Boss,” you said with a fake smile and a salute. The boys could tell you were tired of the conversation, so Chris quickly switched it with a clap of his hand. 
“So, what's for dinner?” He used and he came around to help you guys. “Y/n favorite because I have to spoil my niece,” Scott stated. Chris placed his hand on his brother's shoulder and tapped his shoulder twice, the brother's way of saying ‘give me some alone time’. Scott excused himself to use the restroom, leaving Chris and Y/n alone once again. 
“I'm proud of you for going to therapy and opening up about this bubs,” Chris stated as he wrapped his arm around you as you leaned your head against his chest. “Thanks, dad. I know you are always here for me,” you said into his chest. You heard a bark as you both looked down to see Dodger wagging his tail at you. Chris let out his hearty laugh as he crouched down and rubbed dodgers fur, making the dog extra happy. “Of course, you are always here to you bubs,” he said. 
It's moments like these that make you love your family.

Pen pal's - Bill Guarnere x F!Reader
Tumblr media
Summary: Bill's childhood friend and neighbor writes him a letter after Henry is killed. They keep writing each other throughout the war, but following the events after Bastogne Bill sends a final letter that might end their future before it can really start.
Warnings: she/her pronouns, reader goes by childhood nickname, angst (mentions of war & healing from injuries), does have happy ending.
A/N: I have the biggest respect for the real life heroes of WWII (and all other wars, past & current), this work & all other works is based on the actor(s) and character(s) portrayed in the Band of Brothers series.
A/N pt 2: Full transparency, this one sorta got away from me but I let my creative muse take over and here we are. I was sitting on this idea for a minute and honestly, I love how it turned out. Hopefully y'all like it too! Comments, likes, and reblogs please!! Thank you!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was two weeks after Henry passed when a letter arrived for Bill. He didn't recognize the handwriting, but he knew the return address by heart. It was the house right next door to his childhood home. His suspicions of who it was from was confirmed once he started reading it.
Billy, I've spent the last week trying to figure out something comforting and eloquent to say but all I can come up with is; I'm so sorry about Henry. I can't imagine how you feel. I can't do much to make you feel better over there but I promise to help your mom and sisters with anything they need. You all have been a second family to me my whole life. I pray you stay safe and come home soon. Pip. P.S. I found this picture in one of my old journals and it made me smile. I hope it can do the same for you.
Bill flipped over the photograph that had been included and did, in fact, smile. It was three young kids laughing at the camera, completely covered in mud. He was pulled from the memory of that day when a hand grabbed the picture away from him.
"Henry, Billy, and me." Luz read the back of the picture out loud before flipping it around. "Who's the girl?"
"None of your business." Bill grabbed the picture back and stuffed it in his breast pocket, sending Luz a glare.
Not being fazed at all, Luz leaned over and skimmed at the letter Bill was still holding. "Billy? Who's Pip? Same girl from the picture?"
"Who made you the new Nixon around here? Fuck off, will ya."
"What's got Gonorrhea's in a twist?" Toye asked as he joined the two of them.
"Got some letter and picture from a girl." Luz wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
"What, girl's not your type anymore?" Toye smirked at Bill.
"Both of you's, shut the fuck up. It's a neighbor I grew up with. She's like family."
"She cute?" Toye asked at the same time Luz said, "Is she single?"
"She's nothing to you two's or I'll break your jaws." With a final glare Bill folded up his letter and walked away. Toye and Luz smirked at each other, knowing this wouldn't be the last time they pissed him off about this mystery girl.
~~
Pip dropped the remaining pieces of mail on the ground and rushed to her room, eager to read the letter addressed to her in messy handwriting. She knew she was smiling like an idiot as she read it, but she didn't care.
Pip, I appreciate you reaching out and taking care of ma and the girls for me. I couldn't ask for anyone better to watch over them. You're picture did make me smile, something I haven't done much of lately. I can still hear our ma's chewing us out over ruining your dress. Said Henry and I were keeping you from being a 'proper lady'. And if I remember correctly your response was you'd be one "when pigs fly". Thanks for reminding me of happy times. Don't be a stranger. Billy.
Two weeks later, another letter arrived.
Pip, I saw a field with some horses in it today and I thought of you. How you always wanted to live just outside the city with some land to have a horse and lots of dogs. I hope you get to have that one day. Maybe I'll come by and visit when you do. Billy
The next day as Pip made to leave the house to drop her response off at the post office, she ran into her mother.
"Where you off to in such a hurry?" The gleam in her eye and glance down at the letter in Pip's hand made it obvious she already knew the answer. Pip decide to play along since she was an only child and her mother needed to fuss over someone now and again.
"Just sending a letter back to Bill." She'd stopped calling him Billy out loud to people, but that's who he'd always be to her.
"Yes, I saw he'd send another letter. His poor mother doesn't even get back to back responses that quick. Lucky girl." She mused, smiling at the blush forming on Pip's cheeks.
"It's not like that, we're just old friends."
"Of course. Well, check with his mother and see if they have any mail to send out along with yours." Pip nodded, gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and practically sprinted out the houses before any more questions or observations could be made.
~~
Bill couldn't figure out why he was so anxious after sending that second letter to Pip. She was just his neighbor, a life long family friend, like a sister... Well, not entirely like a sister. Henry always saw her like a sister, taking her under his wing and becoming the big brother she didn't have. His sisters saw her as an older sister, someone to play dress-up with and get boy advise from. But him...he'd never really seen her as that. She was family, absolutely. But not his sister.
When her response came, he wasn't sure if his anxiety got worse or better as he ripped it open.
Billy, I would have loved to have seen that field (although, maybe not during war time). I'm surprised you remember that, I think we were seven or eight when I came up with that idea. I never told you but I always imagined you'd live right next door to me and we'd see each other everyday, like we always did before this war. No matter where I end up, I'd still like you to visit. Pip
"Another letter from your 'family friend'?" Toye jumped down into the foxhole next to Bill.
"Why you sayin' it like that? She is a family friend. And what do you care who I get letters from?" Bill grumbled, folding his letter up and stuffing it inside his jacket.
"Luz said her name was, Pip. What's that about?" Toye asked, completely ignoring Bill's grumpy mood and response.
Bill gives a loud sigh, knowing that Toye isn't going to drop it and by extension neither will Luz until they've discovered everything to do with her.
"It's a nickname. Short for Pipsqueak. She was always this tiny little following me and Henry around back home."
"Sounds annoying." Toye says offhandedly, looking at his companion out the side of his eye. He see's a small smile form on Bill's face.
"At first, I guess. But honestly, it became so normal I never really thought about not including her in things." There's a long stretch of silence as they keep watch, then Bill speaks again. "She's family, but she's not my sister. Never has been. Does that make sense?"
"Yeah, it does." Toye lights up a cigarette, passing one over to Bill. "Should tell her that someday." Bill doesn't respond, just lights up the cigarette and pulls a long drag from it.
~~
The weeks and months that follow are filled with countless letters sent back and forth. There's no declarations of love or detailed accounts of the war, just two people sharing memories or tidbits about their days.
Pip would fill in the blanks about what was going on with his sister's love lives; who was a bum, who seemed nice, who looked weird. Once she gave him the play by play, as she could remember it, of a dinner at his house with the whole family, her, her mother, and a new beau his sister Marie was dating. His name was Paul, but said to call him Paulie. Pip and his two younger sisters, Bianca and Isabella, were on the verge of giggles all night because his voice sounded so much like a parrot and they wanted to ask him if he wanted a cracker. Then there was the shameful cooking lesson their mom's tried to have with Pip, that resulted in five burned pies.
Bill would tell her about the country side they'd go through and different animals he would encounter. He'd also tell her about the guys and stupid shenanigans they'd get up to. How getting shot in the ass started to become an Easy Company right of passage. When he meets Babe, he tells her about another Philly kid that grew up not far from them and how he's alright. He tells her about a game of darts he played with Babe as his partner, against a George Luz and Buck Compton, saying how they lost but he knows if she'd been his partner they would have won because they always make a great team.
They share memories from their childhood, some including Henry some with just the two of them. When she comes across them, Pip sends old pictures of them for him to have. One he becomes especially fond of is them at 16; they're at the local fair, he's holding a huge teddy bear he's just won above his head with one arm, the other is thrown over Pip's shoulder and she's got her arms wrapped around Isabella's shoulders as the younger girl is standing in front of her. They're all smiling, but only Bill and Isabella are looking at the camera. Pip is looking straight at Bill.
He got a lot of ribbing and questions from the guys when that picture came, but he just told them all to 'fuck off'. By this point it was common knowledge that Bill did, but didn't, have a girl back home. The guys loved to annoy him but truly they were happy he had someone, not all of them did.
Slowly, almost naturally, the letter's started becoming more intimate. Not sexually but emotionally. Greetings went from Dear, to Dearest, then Darling, eventually landing on "My Billy/Pip". Signatures would mix some type of variation of "Love, your Billy/Pip" and "Always yours, Billy/Pip". There still hadn't been any type of declaration of feelings, but they'd often write each other about the future and things they wanted to do or see together. They were always together no matter the plan or idea that popped in their heads about life after this war.
Then one day, in a forest in the dead of winter, everything changed.
It had been months since Bill and Toye were shipped back to the hospital for their surgeries and rehabilitation before getting to go home. Months since he'd last responded to one of Pip's letters. He knew, she knew what had happened as he'd written his ma letting her know he was okay after a telegram went out about his injury from the army. He couldn't stand the idea of her being worried sick about him, not after what happened with Henry.
Pip never mentioned the accident, just kept her letters light and full of the day to day happenings. But they always ended the same way, "P.S. Take your time, I'm here when you are ready and I'll always be yours." Each new letter was like a dagger in his heart. He loved her, so much so that he was planning to ask her to marry him when he thought he'd be going home a whole man. But now, how could he ask her to be with him when he wasn't all she deserved?
One day, he grabbed some paper and a pen and started his own version of a Dear John letter.
~~
Pip was both relieved and terrified when she got a letter from Bill. He hadn't responded since being sent to the hospital to have his injury tended to. When his mother had gotten the telegram, all the army had said was that he was injured and being sent out immediately to their primary hospital. After what happened to Henry, she was in a terrible state so Pip pitched in as much as she could while wanting to breakdown herself. Soon enough a letter from Bill himself came and explained the situation as best he could and what was going on, but ultimately letting his mom and sisters know he was already. They'd all cried together when they read that. She waited weeks but no letter arrived for her. As time went on, she accepted that he needed time to heal and figure things out, so she kept sending him updates on his family and things in town, praying that one of them would trigger some type of response. Now she held one in her hands and she didn't know what it would contain.
Sitting in her room, she opened the letter and with each word felt her heart breaking.
My Pip, I am sorry I have not written. Truthfully, I have not known what to say. I know you must have gotten updates from my ma on my condition and I suppose that was the cowards way of letting you know and again, I am sorry. I didn't think this was how I would be telling you this but, I love you. I'm so damn, madly in love with you it's all I can think about lying here. But I can't keep this going any longer. You deserve someone not scarred, literally and emotionally, from this war and the horrors that have leaked inside me. I want you to have everything you've ever dreamed about. I just can't be the one to give it to you. I will love you till my last breathe. Love you always, Billy
With her letter crumpled in her hands, Pip curled up into her bed and cried until there was nothing left to come out.
~~
Bill knew he should feel lucky. Hell, he was the luckiest damn bastard he knew of right now. He was finally home after being away for years, seeing the worst of human nature, eating a home cooked meal surrounded by his mother and sisters that he'd missed terribly. But there was still a large aching hole in his heart the shape of the girl next door. He'd been home for a month and they'd yet to run into each other. He wasn't sure if he could handle seeing her after the letter he'd sent, but that didn't stop him from praying for just one glance.
His sisters had seen her a few times since he'd been home, but every time he asked how she was they just shot him a glare and changed the subject. They obviously knew enough to have picked her side and he couldn't blame them.
"You're awfully quiet tonight, William." His mother's voice brought him back to the present. "Everything okay?" He suddenly felt like a child again under her critical gaze.
"Yeah, I'm good ma." He slapped on a quick smile, which dropped quickly at hearing Bianca and Isabella snort and cough at the end of the table. "What's up with you two?"
"They're tired of you lying. We all are." Marie sent him a cold look.
"I'm not lying about anything." He clenched his jaw to keep his temper in check. These were his sisters, not the boys, he couldn't react like he wanted.
"Yes, you are. Pip is too. You're both miserable. We see it everyday. Just admit you made a mistake and apologize." Marie turned fully to face him and gave him a look that challenged him to deny any of it.
Before he could say anything, his mother cut in. "Girls, go to your rooms. I wanna speak with William. Go on." She gave them her no nonsense look when they didn't move fast enough. With a few grumbles they all left the room and the silence that over took Bill and her was tense.
"Ma, I don't want to talk about it." Bill sighed, leaning back in his chair.
"You don't have to speak, just listen, yeah? You're my child and when you have a child you pray that they find happiness and have all of their dreams come true. It sounds foolish, but that's the truth. Throughout the years, I've always believed that your happiness lie with Pip and when you started writing each other I knew I was right. Every time she would relay some story you wrote her or say "Bill said this, Bill said that" it was like looking in a mirror to when I first fell for your father. Once you've had a great love, you recognize it in other people. Now, looking at both of you all I can see is myself after your father passed. A sorrow that settles in the bones and your soul and never quite goes away. I know you had the best intentions in mind when you did, what you did, but if it's slowly killing you both inside was it really for the best?"
Bill couldn't bring himself to meet her eyes, too afraid he'd completely break down, so he stared at his plate and fiddled with the table clothe. Eventually his mom got up, gave him a kiss on the cheek and left him alone with his thoughts.
~~
Two days later, Pip stood at the back door of the Guarnere house. She'd promised Bianca she'd help her pick a dress for her upcoming dance and after much back and forth, and almost tears, had agreed to come to their house only because Bianca swore Bill would be gone. As she entered the kitchen, she called out to Bianca but didn't receive an answer. She walked further into the house, heading towards the living room still calling out.
"Bianca? Anybody? Hello? I swear if she stood me up, I'm gonna kill her." Just as she finished her though out loud, she stopped dead in her tracks. In the middle of the room stood Bill on his crutches, holding her favorite flowers in one hand. Every time she opened her mouth to say something, she couldn't think of anything and closed it again. Eventually, Bill broke the silence.
"Don't be mad at Bianca, I bribed her to get you over here. I understand if you don't want to hear anything I have to say and walk out, but if you give me a few minutes I swear you'll never have to see me again if that's your wish." Hesitantly, Pip walked into the living room and followed Bill's lead by sitting on the sofa. Slowly she took the flowers from him and laid them in her lap, meeting his eyes.
"I've been practicing what to say all day, but can't seem to remember a damn thing now." He gave a humorless chuckled, clenching and unclenching his hands to steady himself. "What I did, all of it, is unforgivable. I...All I could think about in that hospital was all the things I wouldn't be able to do with you. All the things I might not be able to give you. I believed I was doing what was right, by pushing you away so you could find someone else. But underneath all of that I was scared too. Scared you'd see me now and think less of me. Would always look at me with pity in your eyes and I'd never be that great man you deserve. Now, I'm scared I've lost the only person that matters. Every day since I sent that letter, and especially since being home, it's felt like a wound is festering inside me and I can't fix it. I know I've hurt you, and I'll never forgive myself for that, but if you can just give me a chance to make it right I'll spend forever making it up to you."
Bill would've given her his beating heart if she asked for it. The longer the silence stretched, the more he was sure she would say goodbye. He held his breathe as one of her hands, shakily raised and cupped his cheek. She had tears in her eyes.
"How could I possibly look at you and think less? You've been everything I ever wanted since we were kids. And now everyone knows what I always knew, that you're a hero and a great man. We've had each other backs for forever, I don't think we should stop now. I don't care if we can't do certain things the way we talked about, we will find new ways to do them. All I want, all I've ever wanted, is you by my side. I'll accept your apology under on condition."
"Anything." His answer was immediate.
"Kiss me." The words were barely out when he pulled her closer to him and pressed his lips to her, firmly and with all the passion he had inside him.
Bonus scene: 6 months later
Everyone seemed to be having a good time; drinks were flowing, people were dancing, and in the corner taking a break from mingling, the bride and groom were sipping champagne and sneaking kisses.
"When can we leave?" Bill mutters, nipping her bottom lip quickly.
"I spent all day getting ready, I'm wearing this dress as long as possible." She half joked, taking a sip from her flute.
"I never said you had to take it off." Bill whispers in her ear, smirking at the blush on her cheeks.
"Control yourself and I'll let you take it off, however you want." She shoots him a wink and then grabs her purse, pulling a small box out of it. "Here, I have a gift for you."
Bill raises an eyebrow, taking the box from her. "What is it?"
"Just open it." She smiles at him.
Bill pulls the top off and pulls out a little figurine, laughing instantly. It's a small pig with wings attached. When pigs fly. He looks back and her and cups her cheek.
"I love you, Mrs. Guarnere."
"I love you, Mr. Guarnere."

Mission Accomplished
Tumblr media
a/n: let’s just imagine a little, yeah? whipped this up real quick hope yall like it
warnings: none
Harry wasn’t cocky. Never arrogant or egotistical. But he never had a problem going on dates. It was pretty easy for him to confidently go up to a woman, charm her, and promise a wonderful date with a hard ‘yes’ in return to his question.
Yet with (Y/N)? Impossible.
If you asked her, she simply wanted to put him up for a challenge. To really prove that he wants to be a chivalrous man, genuinely interested in the woman. Did she tell him that? No. She really couldn’t help but think that it was fun to see Harry try so hard to get her to say yes. He’d show up to her job during lunch hours with flowers and chocolates, he’d send her sweet good morning and good night texts that certainly did make (Y/N)’s heart flutter.
But Harry was confused. He noticed she’d act more stoic about his advances; she’d keep quiet or give a simple thank you when her body spoke louder than her words did. Her cheeks would flush red, her skin would grow goosebumps as soon as he spoke, her chest would halt in symbolism that he truly did take her breath away with whatever gesture Harry did then.
Harry would constantly ask their mutual friends for any crumb of knowledge to the situation, but he’d never get an answer. Nonetheless, he knew he wouldn’t give up. Not until she would say no outright with her body screaming the same thing. Then Harry would understand to walk away.
So, he devised a plan. Simple yet effective.
(Y/N) typically spent her Sunday afternoons at their local park with her dog, something akin to a picnic for her and her furry friend with a book nursed in hand. It was known within their friend group, thus Harry took advantage of it.
Per usual, Harry bought a bouquet of flowers. Though unlike his usual purchase of white roses, this time it was tulips, something more friendly, softer than the meaning a rose carries. He drove to the park, a little nervous to hear the same response as the last few times but a bit more confident that this time was his lucky shot.
And there she was. (Y/N) sitting on a yellow quilt on the grass with a book in her hands, her dog laying right beside her, panting at the hot summer air.
Harry approached her gently, clearing his throat once he reached her side to have her acknowledge his presence in contrast to startling her by speaking. (Y/N) looked up at him, her lips turning into a small smile, yet soon her eyes fall on the tulips and Harry could notice her blinking rapidly as her cheeks turned red.
“Mind if I join you for just a few seconds?” Harry asked politely with that charming smile on his face, dropping down to his knees at her soft nod, placing the bouquet of tulips by her knees.
“Won’t mind a quick visit from a friend.” (Y/N) earned herself a chuckle from that statement, Harry licking his lips before taking in a deep breath.
He figured he’d cut right to the chase to avoid taking more of her time and interrupting her Sunday ritual.
“One date. That’s all I ask. If you don’t want to go out again after that, I’ll respect it. Let me show you I can be deserving of you and then you can decide if I’m not worth your time.” Harry’s voice was poised yet calm. He didn’t want to come off arrogant or demanding.
Albeit it didn’t help that she kept quiet for a few seconds and only made Harry nervous. She seemed pensive as she rolled her smiling lips into her mouth, eyes darting between the tulips and Harry’s eyes. (Y/N) softly shrugged her shoulders as she picked up the flowers, admiring them closely before placing them on her lap.
Now Harry was sure she was trying to torture him with all this thinking and waiting. Until finally, she spoke.
“One date, Harry. And for next time, I do prefer the white roses.”
Harry nearly scoffed in disbelief that his prior tries were perhaps just as good as this one but she was giving him a run for his money, only grinning instead and standing up from the grass with his eyes trained on her, “I’ll text you about our date then. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.”
Instead of happily skipping away with his hands swinging at his hands, he walked way staying calm and collected, looking around the park as he released a quick breath then smiled at nothing. He did it. Finally. He was going to show (Y/N) just how worthy he could be of the girl.
