Elvis’s POV
2 years ago - 1969
Looking for an assistant was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and even when I did find one they don’t usually last long. The Colonel has been hounding me to hire one because the work load on him was “too much” and said I needed a personal assistant that can help both me and him. I had just wrapped the first few shows at the International Hotel it was exhilarating, it honestly felt like my heart was going to explode on that stage. It felt great to be back on a stage with a live audience. I had just finished the evening show and jumped into the shower. I threw on some clothes and fixed up my hair when someone knocked on the door. 
“E.P!” Jerry’s voice boomed from the other side of the door “You decent, man?” 
“Come on in Jerry!” I called out.
Jerry walked in, I turned to see him walk in with probably the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life. Wow. She had dark brown hair and green eyes. Her bright green eyes stood out to me the most, they were the brightest, emerald green I’ve ever seen. My heart raced when her eyes made contact with my blue ones. Her lips slowly formed into a soft, polite smile. I got the sudden urge to reach forward and kiss her beautiful lips, I needed to feel her lips on mine.
“Hi Mister Presley. I’m Jess Anderson.” She said and walked towards me with her hand outstretched for me to shake. I gulped and managed to smile, taking her hand in mine.
“P-Please call me Elvis, honey.” I smiled, work the charm. She’s already here for you. I kept my eyes on her, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her even if I tried “You’ve out done yourself Jerry. Just my type. Where on earth did you find her?”  I grinned at her when she gave me a slightly confused look. I kept my hand in hers. I couldn’t wait to sink my cock balls deep into her after Jerry leaves, why is he still standing around?
“Uh E.P, she’s not-“ Jerry started. 
“What?” I asked, frowning slightly when she pulled her hand from my grip. She looked down at her shoes, her cheeks flushing deep red. I wanted to reach forward and kiss her flamed cheeks, she looks way too cute blushing.
“The Colonel liked her CV and thought you should get the final say if you want her as your assistant.” Jerry said. 
Oh Fuck.
“Oh.” I breathed, then turned to look at Jerry who smiled sheepishly. I thought she was one of the girls from the show “My assistant.” 
I turned to look at Jess, my assistant. She bit her lip, looking everywhere but at me “I-I’m sorry honey, I didn’t mean anything by it.”
She chuckled and looked up, finally making eye contact with me again “It’s no problem Mister Presley.”
“Elvis please, Miss Anderson.” I smiled.
“Sure but only if you call me Jess.” She smiled back, more relaxed and less timid and I swear she could hear my heart beating out of my chest. 
“Of course. Jess.” I breathed. 
“I’ll be here in Vegas for a few days and we can get to know each other better to see if this would actually work. I won’t take much of your time, I’ll see you tomorrow before rehearsals?” She said.
I nodded. 
Ah shit. I made a complete fool outta myself. She’s possibly my new assistant. I’m screwed. 
After the midnight show, getting into bed I couldn’t help but let my thoughts drift to my new assistant. I slipped my hands into my silk pajama bottoms, palming my cock imagining her big pouty lips wrapped around my cock, her big bright green eyes looking up at me with tears streaming down her beautiful face as I pounded into the back of her throat. I moaned, pumping my cock faster in my hand. Oh I'm in so much trouble, acting like a damn little boy cuming into his pants. Hell, she didn’t even have to do much and I was already aching for her. 
The next day I got dressed in a red button down with puffy sleeves, black slacks and one of my favorite chunky, chain belts. I didn’t get the chance to see Jess because we had rehearsals so I guess I’ll see her after. I walked on stage, making sure to greet the band when I spotted her siting in the audience seats with the Colonel, my daddy and Jerry. She smiled at me when I looked at her, I grinned and nodded a greeting to her.
“Damn man, that’s your new assistant?” James asked, standing next to me. I nodded, turning my head to see him stare at her “How will you ever get any work done with her around?” He chuckled.
“I have no idea.” I mumbled, my eyes focused on her. His words made my stomach churn, I didn’t want him talking about her in any way or looking at her like a damn thirsty dog. 
We started rehearsals singing a few songs, I made sure to sneak glances back at her to see her reaction. She was smiling slightly the entire time. Jerry said something which made her turn and laugh. I frowned wanting her attention back at me so I started goofing around and making jokes which made her laugh out loud. I grinned looking at her, that was the best damn sound, it was like music to my ears. I decided it was my mission to make her laugh.
I jumped down the stage when we took a break and walked over to the table they were siting at. 
“What did you think doll?” I said, placing my palms on the table and leaning forward to look at her.
“That was incredible and it was just the rehearsal, can’t imagine seeing you actually perform to an audience.” She smiled brightly. 
I chuckled, feeling my cheeks heat up at her compliment “ What do you think of her daddy?” I turned to my dad. 
“She’s a sweetheart and she’s damn funny.” Daddy said which made her chuckled and shake her head.
“She has the same sense of humor as you.” Jerry added, grinning at her “I think she’ll fit in perfectly with us.”
“Wow, I made that good of an impression in one day?” She asked chuckling. We all laughed along with her. 
“What do you think Colonel?” I asked, turning to the Colonel. 
“Up to you, my boy.” He replied shrugging “She does have a good resume, she seems smart and capable.” 
“Okay then. You’re hired.” I said, turning to look at her. 
She furrowed her brows “Are you sure? I-I don’t want you to make a rash decision.”
I chuckled “I’m not. Don’t worry darlin’” 
“Well… you could always fire me if it doesn’t work out.” She shrugged. 
I burst out laughing “Well… yeah.” 
She stood up and grinned, stretching her hand out to me “But I promise, I’ll do my very best job. Thank you for the opportunity, Elvis.” 
I grinned, biting down on my lip. I loved the way my name rolled off of her tongue. I reached forward and grasped her hand, shaking it gently. God her hand was tiny in mine. 
I looked into those pretty green eyes and I knew, she could bat her dark lashes at me and I would fold and give her the world. This girl is gonna be a pain in my ass.
Present Day - 1971
Fuck. My heart dropped when Jess landed harshly on the ground with a loud bang. My legs felt like jello, I couldn’t move. It took me a second before I quickly took off, running towards her screaming her name repeatedly. Oh please be okay, please. 
“Jess!” I yelled, sliding on the sand as I got on my knees next to her head “Come on honey, please open your eyes.” I cradled her head in my hands and reached down to unclip her helmet. I threw it to the side and tapped her cheek “Please sweet girl, please open your eyes.” 
“Help me!” I yelled. I spotted one of my security guards sprinting over to me.
“Mr. Presley? Are you okay? We heard a loud thud.” He panted.
“No! Call an ambulance!” 
He nodded quickly and ran off. 
“Don’t do this to me, Jess.” I muttered, not knowing what to do. My eyes filled with tears, please wake up “Please baby. Please.” I felt helpless. I cradled her closer, dipping my face into her neck. The familiar sent of her perfume that she always wore hit my nostrils, I inhaled deeply. My favorite smell in the whole world. I could feel the tears streaming down my face as we waited for the ambulance to get here. I made sure that she wore a helmet so why isn’t she waking up? 
“Mr. Presley.” The security guard called “Mr. Presley.” He repeated. I didn’t hear him the first time, I was praying that she would wake up “The EMT is here.”
“What happened?” The EMT asked.
“She uh- she-“ I started, not being able to speak because I was trying to hold back my tears. My throat burned, I wanted to let it out “She f-f-fell off the-the h-horse. But she-she was w-wearing her helmet.” 
The picked her up and got her into the ambulance, I quickly jumped in with them. I took my hand in hers and continued to pray to God that she would wake up and be okay. She had to. Please be okay, please, please I chanted again and again in my head.
“Mr. Presley, you need to let her go. She needs to go in for a CT scan, she might have a brain bleed.” The doctor said when I refused to let go of her hand. 
I gulped and reluctantly let go “But she wore a helmet. I don’t understand.” I whispered watching my heart getting rolled away in a gurney. 
“Mr. Presley, helmets reduce the risk of head injury by as much as fifty percent but it doesn’t completely eliminate the risk.” The doctor said and gave me a pitiful smile “But hopefully the helmet did protect her brain, we just need to see the CT scan to help us understand why she isn’t waking up.” He left, walking through the swinging doors that Jess just passed through.
“Mr. Presley, please lets get you upstairs in a private room while you wait for her. People are already looking.” The nurse said and ushered me to the elevators. 
It just hit me that people were actually staring at me, they recognized me and I didn’t have any of my security on me. I sat in the private room for a few minutes when the entire Memphis Mafia minus Jerry came bursting in. I made sure my tears were wiped, I didn’t need them seeing me cry. 
“E.P! What the fuck happened?!” Red asked with wide eyes.
“Jess fell off the horse.” I mumbled, keeping my eyes strained at my feet when I felt them burn with unshed tears. She’s okay, I shouldn’t be crying. She’s okay.
“W-What? Is she okay?” Charlie asked. 
“I-I don’t know.” I whispered. 
“Well she’s gotta be okay. It’s Jess, she’s-she’s strong.” Joe said. I looked up to see him gulping and running his hands through his hair. Charlie already had tears in my eyes. I’ve never seen the guys get emotional over anything, this just goes to prove how much everyone loved Jess. Even though she’s the newest one of the group, she seemed to capture the entire group’s hearts. 
I don’t know how long we sat in that room, the Mafia Members going back and forth to the cafeteria, getting coffee and food. I couldn’t bring myself to eat. My mind was racing. 
“Mr. Presley.” The doctor announced, walking into the room. 
“Yeah?” I asked, standing up. My heart raced as I waited for the next words that came out of his mouth. 
“Good news, she doesn't have a brain bleed. Had she not been wearing that helmet, she probably would’ve been in a way worse shape.” 
“Thank god.” Everyone mumbled. 
“Okay, is she awake?” I asked.
“Unfortunately, she isn’t. Since she hit her head pretty hard, she does have a very bad concussion. She should be waking up but we did all the tests, there is no reason for her to still be unconscious. We just need to wait for her.” The doctor continued. 
“Fuck.” I mumbled, running my hands through my hair in frustration. 
“They’re bringing her in in a few minutes.” The doctor said and left. 
The nurses wheeled her in and I felt like I was going to explode. I couldn’t cry in front of them, I can’t. 
“We’ll uh, wait outside.” Red said and indicated for everyone to follow him out, shutting the door behind them. It was just me and her. I stayed still in my spot, staring at her beautiful face. I slowly crept forward and grasped her hand in mine, I placed a small kiss on the top of her hand as the tears started streaming down my face.
“Wake up Jess.” I mumbled against her hand “Wake up baby.”
I let go of her hand and ran my fingers through her soft hair and caressed her cheek. 
“I love you.” I whispered, looking down at her beautiful face “I love you. I love you.” I repeated “Please wake up.” 
I loved her so much. It didn’t hit me till now how much I loved this one person. She made my heart beat out of my chest. I looked forward to the days when its just me and her at Graceland, those were my favorite. Before her I used to love when Graceland was filled with my friends and family, now I loved when it was just us. I can’t lose her. I can’t. She needs to be here. I need to experience waking up with her in my arms again. I could count the times I slept so good. Three. Three times I slept so good. The first time we slept together. The day she gave me a massage. The time she was drunk and slept in my bed in California. It was all with her. I love her. 
When you are not in love, you’re not alive. Everything was a thousand times better when she was around. Everything seemed brighter. Yes we weren’t together but our relationship felt like we were married for a very long time without the intimacy part. We cared for one another. She understood me and that’s all I ever wanted was to be understood. She didn’t try to change me and she didn’t make fun of my beliefs. 
I pulled a chair up to her bed and buried my face into the blanket by her waist and held her hand in mine when all of a sudden the door burst open. I lifted my head and saw a tearful Grace and Jerry walking in.
“What happened?” Grace gasped.
“She fell.” I mumbled, letting go of her hand as Grace walked over and placed her hand on Jess’ head, caressing her forehead. 
“When is she waking up?” Jerry asked coming to stand next to his wife.
“They don't know.” I replied. 
“Oh my god.” Grace cried and turned to hug Jerry who bit down on his lip harshly but I could still see the tears in his eyes. I looked away not being able to hold myself together. 
“Excuse me.” Jerry mumbled once Grace pulled away from him, he quickly rushed out of the room. 
“Oh Elvis. Is she gonna be okay?” 
“I-I don’t know Grace.” I said my voice cracking “This is all my fault.” I mumbled, running my hands through my hair. 
“What- Elvis.” Grace shook her head no. 
I shook my head, my lips trembling “It’s my fault. If-if I-I-i didn’t wake her up to teach her then she would probably be waking up right now in Graceland. It’s all m-my fault.” I cried, wiping my tears as they came rushing down my face. 
“Elvis, Elvis. Stop. This is not your fault whatsoever, how could you have predicted this? You were so gentle and slow with her the entire time. I saw it. You made sure she was safe and you didn’t take your eyes off of her for a second. It was an accident, that’s all it is. An accident.” Grace said. 
“What if she doesn't wake up?” I whispered. 
Grace gulped and turned to look at Jess’ sleeping form. 
“I didn’t even get to-“ I started then realized what I was about to say. I was about to admit it out loud and I wasn’t ready. Not when I knew Jess didn’t feel the same way.
“You didn’t get to what?” Grace asked slowly. 
I turned to look at Jess “I didn’t get to tell her how I feel about her.” I sighed. 
“I knew it!” Grace said loudly “Sorry.” She said when I looked at her. This was not the time at all. 
I reached over and grabbed her hand once again. 
“She’s gonna wake up, Elvis. She’s gonna wake up and you’ll get to tell her how you feel.” Grace said. 
I gulped, keeping my eyes on our intertwined hands “She has to.” I whispered.
“Something happened between you two, right?” Grace asked. 
“She didn’t tell you?” I asked. She shook her head no “Of course she didn’t. She pretended like it didn’t happen. We slept together.” And it killed me when she woke up the next day and regretted it. I had to pretend like I didn’t care so that she doesn’t quit and leave. Because I would rather have her around as my assistant than not have her at all.
Grace gasped “I can’t believe she didn’t tell me.”
“Because she wanted to erase it out of her memory.”
“Were you that bad?” Grace joked, trying to lighten up the mood. I chuckled caressing my thumb back and forth on her hand. 
“No but she doesn't want me.” 
“Elvis- that-that is not true.” Grace shook her head.
“It’s okay Grace.” I shook my head. 
I slept with my head on the bed right next to her when someone shook my shoulder.
“Son, you need to go home. Get some sleep.” Dad said.
“I’m fine dad.” I sighed, rubbing my hands down my face.
“It’s okay, her parents are coming in any minute now.” 
“I’m not leaving her side, dad.” I groaned, cracking my neck. My back and neck ached from the awkward position I was in when I fell asleep. It was officially the next day and her parents and siblings flew in to see her. I was dreading seeing them. I went into the bathroom that was joined to the room to freshen up, wash my face and brush my teeth. I felt dirty, still in yesterday’s clothes but got rid of my jacket. 
“Elvis!” Her mom said when I came out of the bathroom. She had tears streaming down her face. I smiled timidly at her, walking over to her to hug her.
“I’m so sorry.” I whispered. 
“It’s not your fault honey.” She said, rubbing my back soothingly. 
“Mr. Anderson.” I greeted, shaking his hand. Ella smiled and hugged me while Jack shook my hand. 
“The doctor said we should let her rest and hope for the best.” I informed them. 
“She’ll wake up.” Mr. Anderson said, looking down at his eldest daughter “Jess is strong. She’s just being stubborn right now. She wants to see us cry a little.” He chuckled, running his hands through her hair. 
“Yeah, she’s being a little stubborn.” I said chuckling “Hard headed this girl.” 
“She really is.” Mrs. Anderson said. 
“Where are you staying at?” I asked them. 
“We booked a hotel but we still didn’t check-in.” Jack said and I spotted their bags by the door. 
“Nonsense.” I shook my head, frowning at them “Jerry!” I called. Jerry walked in “Take the Andersons’ bags to Graceland.”
“No, no, honey. It’s okay.” Mrs. Anderson shook her head. 
“No, please.” I shook my head, not taking no for an answer “Go to Graceland, rest. You guys had a long flight. I’ll call you if anything changes, I’m not letting her out of my sight.” 
Daddy and Grace forced me to eat, Grace even went out of her way to go to Graceland and get peanut and banana sandwiches from Martha, my personal cook. They got me new clothes and I showered in Jess’ hospital room.
Jess wasn’t budging even when I tried to annoy her to wake her up.
“Jess.” I whispered in her ear “Jessica. Wake up. Don’t make me get an ice bucket and dump it on you.” I poked her nose “Wake up Jesssssica.” I sang in her ear “Do you want me to sing Lawdy Miss Clawdy again? Is that gonna wake you up?”
I sighed in frustration “Please honey.” I said and kissed her forehead “Open your beautiful green eyes that I love so much.” 
“Hey.” I looked up to see Janice walking in.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked when I spotted Matt walking in behind her. 
Grace also walked in, her eyes widened when she saw Matt. 
“I’m here to see my girlfriend.” Matt replied. 
“Like hell she is.” I growled, stalking forward when Grace jumped in in front of me, placing her hands on my chest.
“Elvis. Now’s not the time.” Grace said. 
Janice shook her head and walked past us to see Jess. 
“Get out.” I told Matt.
“I need to see her.”
“You came, you saw her. Now leave.” I clenched my jaw.
“Elvis, just let him see her for a second.” Grace said. I looked down at her, nostrils flaring. She raised her hands up in surrender. 
“No.” I hissed. 
“Seriously now is not the time for this.” Janice huffed, tears streaming down her face.
“Fine. But only for a second.” I said and went back to stand by Jess’ side, opposite of Janice. Matt walked in and stood next to Janice, reaching down to grasp Jess’ hand. I clenched my jaw but didn’t say anything, I hated seeing him with her. How come she wants him? He’s a lucky son of a bitch.
“Oh baby.” He whispered. Janice moved so that Matt could get closer to her. He leaned down and kissed her cheek “Please wake up. You promised me another date.”
I bit down on my tongue and clenched my fist. 
They’re going on another date? Over my dead body. 
He then leaned down and pecked her lips.
“That’s it! Get out!” I exploded and walked around the bed, pushing him back.
“What the hell man?! What is your problem?!”
“You.” I growled, getting in his face “You are my problem.” 
“Get off me man.” Matt said and pushed me back.
“Oh you son of a bitch.” I pushed him back.
“Hey! Stop!” Grace yelled as we continued to push each other. 
“Stop it!” Janice yelled getting between us “Jess is in a coma! And you guys are fighting like little kids!”
“This is your fault!” Matt snarled.
I breathed heavily not being able to reply, he was right. It was my fault. She wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for me. 
“It was an accident.” Grace replied, jumping to my defense “It’s no one’s fault. Things like this happen.”
“Matt stop.” Janice said when Matt was about to speak again “Let’s just go. Grace, please keep us updated if anything changes.”
Janice pulled Matt by the arm, both walking out of Jess’ hospital room.
I sighed and ran my hands down my face. 
“Look we’re all on edge here. You need to go home, Elvis. You need to get some sleep.” Grace said.
“You think I’ll be able to sleep?” I scoffed. 
“Maybe Dr. Nick can help you relax.” Dad said, walking in, hearing our conversation. 
“I don’t need sleep. I don’t need Dr. Nick. I need Jess to wake the hell up!” I yelled and swiped the tray off food that was brought for me on the ground.
“Elvis! Calm down!” Dad yelled.
“I will not calm down! Why isn’t she waking up?! Why do these dumbass doctors have no idea what’s wrong with her?!” I growled, pulling at my hair. 
“They’re doing all they can! The brain is unpredictable!”  
“I’m sick and tried of hearing this.” I choked, tears welding up in my eyes. 
“It’s been three days. Maybe she just needs to rest for a while.” Grace said “She’ll wake up.” She said and squeezed my shoulder, walking out of the room.
“Look I know you feel guilty about what happened but you don’t need to punish yourself.” Dad said.
“How am I punishing myself?” 
“By being by her side and not leaving the room, not eating. Her parents are here, they can stay with her.” He replied. 
I was not punishing myself whatsoever. I want to be here by her side. I want to be the first one to see her open her eyes. I felt sick thinking of a world without her, I had no appetite. He doesn’t understand that she’s more than just my assistant. 
“Why are you here, if you don’t care?” I asked him.
“Of course I care about her. But you’re killing yourself just to be by her side.” He replied “Let’s go home. The Colonel says we need to discuss a few things.”
“That son of a bitch!” I snarled “I will not repeat myself. I. Am. Not. Leaving. And you can tell the Colonel to go fuck himself. Coward, selfish, bastard.” I seethed. It pissed me off that the Colonel things I have the mental capacity to discuss business matters right now. That bastard didn’t even bother coming to visit Jess. 
“Do you have a comb?” I asked the nurse when she walked in to check on Jess after my dad left.
“Yes, let me get it for you.” The nurse smiled, got me a comb and left. 
It was already way past the visiting hours, a lot of people came and went. Her family, the Mafia members etc. But now I was on my own with her. I payed the nurses to let me stay even though I wasn’t allowed to stay. 
I pushed the bed slightly away from the wall to squeeze behind Jess’ bed with the comb in my hand.
“So I was reading a book on Comas.” I talked to Jess as I pulled her hair gently from under her head to sprawl it up on the pillow. I made Joe go and get me some books on comas and read them while I waited for Jess to wake up.
 “I learnt that people still don’t know if you can hear when people talk to Coma patients. Some say yes while others say no but I’m still going to talk to you and pretend you can actually hear me. Anyway, I learnt about something that no one ever talks about is that people in a coma can experience really bad hair matting so I’m gonna comb your hair so that it doesn’t get matted.” I told her as I slowly combed through her hair, starting from the bottom and worked myself up “Don’t want your beautiful hair to get tangled now do we?” I grinned down at her. 
“It’s now or never. Come hold me tight. Kiss me my darling. Be mine tonight.” I sang softly to her as I brushed through her hair “When I first saw you, with your smile so tender. My heart was captured. My soul surrendered. I’d spend a lifetime, waiting for the right time.” 
My mind wandered through the memories of us together. Recently I haven’t been able to actually keep my hands to myself and sometimes I get the urge to just kiss her cheek only because I know she would murder me if I kissed her lips. She would start the whole rant about how I’m her boss and she’s my assistant. She still kissed me back the other day even after her stupid date with that asshole. God I just remembered how hurtful it was to find out she was out on a date, my heart dropped. She doesn’t owe me anything, I know but it still killed me inside. So I did what I do best by turning that hurt into rage. I have no idea what came over me when I rushed out and drove to find her, I saw red at that moment. 
“Are you gonna wake up, sweet girl?” I asked her after I finished singing the song. 
“I’ve been awake for a while.” She croaked. My hands stilled, my eyes snapping from her hair to her face. She moved her neck up to look up at me. I gasped quietly, looking down at her. Oh, my heart. Those green eyes. Am I dreaming? Is she actually awake?
“I need water.” She said and gulped harshly. 
“Oh my god. You’re awake.” I whispered, stuck in place.
“What the heck happened?” She asked “Elvis?” She asked again when I didn’t respond. 
“Sorry.” I quickly rushed, pouring her a glass of water. I handed her the water when she sat up “You-you fell off of the horse.”
“Oh… yeah.” She said after taking a sip “I didn’t listen to you, I wasn’t holding on properly.” 
I frowned looking at her while she smiled sheepishly at me. 
“You think that’s funny?” I asked her, anger building up. 
“No I-“ She started but I cut her off.
“I was scared to fucking death!” I yelled “I told you to hold on! What the fuck were you thinking Jess! Why weren’t you listening to me!” 
“I-I was but-“ 
“God Jess! You were in a coma for three fucking days! You almost gave me a heart attack!” Why was I yelling at her, the poor girl just woke up but my emotions were all over the place especially with the lack of sleep.
“Three days?” She whispered, looking down at the cup in her hands “I’m sorry.” 
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair “I’m sorry, I-I shouldn’t be yelling at you. It wasn’t your fault.” I turned away from her and wiped the tears from my eyes. 
“Elvis.” She sighed. 
“I-I need to call the nurse or the doctor, or something.” I mumbled and walked out of her room.

literary sexts vol. 2 poetry meme
PART ONE
Inspired by the Vol 1 meme by @lizzyisameme , I have decided to make an unofficial sequel with various quotes from Literary Sexts Vol 2, found here on Amazon, as edited by Amanda Oaks & Caitlyn Siehl. As always, if you like what you read, please consider supporting the authors and buying the book yourself! 
Not all poems from the book will be found here, as this is only from the first half, and I’m still leaving a good chunk out. A second meme may be in the works to cover  some of the last half.
Content warning for some religious themes and imagery. 
The waters are rising. We build a submarine from scrap metal and blown glass. The land is eaten by the sea. We love in the entrails of our metal beast rough and water-rocked, four-limbed creature of the deep. 
Our orthodoxy is a fistful of bedsheet, and me on my knees before your alter of flesh and salt.
We slip our clothes off, slide carefully through the yard’s dripping body. Snow melts under warmth. Air licks legs. We are fresh want. 
I want you to take a deep drag from me. I want you to pull me apart like a wishbone and whisper my name like it’ll save you.
And then there’s the path we followed, the tree that helped me hold you while we kissed minutes at a time - so sure the earth would swallow us whole. 
There are groaning pine trees outside of my house and I can hear them breathing. There are words inside of you that spilled out of my mouth and I can feel them fluttering in your chest, all shaky: “I love you, I love you, touch me.”
I stumbled to your thighs - pink sunset hills of no man’s land. Let me get lost. Let me bring you alive.
I want you graffitied in the color of my lipstick - tag every contour of your ribs with the words, “GOD IS DEAD BUT HE STILL SAVED ME. HE WAS REBORN IN THE SOFTNESS OF YOUR SKIN.”
I think I still look for you on the tip of strangers’ tongues like a word that I know the meaning of but can never remember how to spell.
If you’re dark inside, I’ll open the windows, & we’ll be golden drenched. Outside, the grass aches for the backs of your knees. I’ll lay you down on honey colored. I’ll tell you the sun peaks. I’ll show you how. 
If you were here, I’d drive you to Sweetheart Circle. We’d eat fruit salad from a big bowl. Come here, tell me again about the time we kissed, how we tumbled through the October night. 
You, my dark pocket of spinning, my deep joy against the side of your carport; tonight under the fool moon I long for your brutal pull. I want to not-touch until our hearts explode. 
Open your mouth, all wet green trees and lightning inside, touch yourself storm in an endless sky. 
Our bed is desert; we meet each other with sand-filled mouths and find 100 different places that are synonymous with “oasis”.
The first time I saw you, I remembered you. Your presence was planetary, I was caught in your orbit. How long did we circle, dancing, before we realigned? 
I am becoming bilingual; I understand the language of your hands as if it was my native tongue. You are my Tower of Babel.
I watch you laugh with the sunlight spilling through your teeth; you throw your head back and suddenly I am covered in morning. 
The warm lift of water and your arms, the hiss and pull of ragged breathing beneath a slivered moon, stifled against your neck. Your eyes.
I crave your breath. Your eyes, firelight on velvety cave walls. Your smile, the sun through October leaves. You move like the heartbeat of a mountain.
It is the ozone of you. The sea salt spray and crashing waves of you. The thunderous cloudbank of you, rolling over me. Pulling my tides.
I am baptized in your water eyes. My body is new again in the river of you. 
I live inside the second before we kissed for the first time all day, lips barely brushing, breath against breath, hunger burning like a million linked stars pulsating, close to death, under my skin. 
Our soft bodies in my tiny bed. Our teeth tap dancing while your left leg dangles above the floor. Your clumsy mouth is my favorite place to laugh into. 
Let’s order one last round and kiss in front of god and the rest of the drunks, then pour ourselves out into the night, following the moon anywhere but home.

02 Beneath the Shadows
Tumblr media
Previous Chapter
It was starting to cloud up outside my office window and I started wondering if there would be rain in the area. I twirled my fingers mindlessly through my hair wondering what had happened to the last three years. They flew by without a warning, I still had no word from Rick and it worried me to my core. He had never been radio silent like this before. It was like he just disappeared from the Earth. In the time that he had been gone, I had almost mastered speaking ancient Egyptian and was able to understand it completely. The journey had been long but Evy really helped the process go smoothly. She had slowly turned into a motherly figure for me, comforted me when I was feeling deserted, and helped with rent when I couldn’t come up with all the money. I had one more tour left for the day then I could go help her in the library. I dropped my head tired from the incessant lecturing I had given to the groups of people that floated through the museum. My eyes slid closed as I untangled the knot that had formed from my hair being half up today. I was exhausted, during the nights I traversed bars and other sleazy establishments looking for remnants or signs of my brother. So far I hadn’t found anything that seemed promising. He was completely and utterly unreachable. I knew the only way he would be reached would be if he wanted to be found. Before I knew it tears pricked behind my eyes, I lifted my head and dabbed my eyes making sure the liner on my eyes did not run.
“Eris?” I heard the honey-like British accent come through the threshold to my office.
“Yes?” I asked her curious what she needed. I looked at her, glasses hanging from their chain around her neck, her hair haphazardly unraveling from its cage on top of her head. She stepped forwards into my office.
“Are you all right sweetie?” Evy asked her mothering quality coming in full force. I stood from my chair and I held up my hand to stop her from coming to hug me.
“I’ll be all right Eves, please don’t, if you hug me I don’t know if I can stop the tears,” I told her brushing off my skirt and sniffing to clear my nose. I forced a smile as she nodded in understanding. I looked over my shoulder to the window where the rain was starting to fall. The noise calmed me, I sighed taking my mind out of the current moment. I opened my eyes still happily staring outside the window. What I saw, didn’t scare me but rather intrigued me. The outdoors was London although this looked futuristic, an Egyptian woman stood in the chaos of the storm, rain danced around her like a cyclone. Her body was covered in tattoos, I wasn’t entirely sure of their origin or symbology. She had shoulder-length hair that was drenched from the rain her bangs getting in her eyes. Her eyes were not like any I’d seen, doubled yellow irises. She outstretched her cloth-wrapped arms and glass from the buildings exploded out around her. Behind her, I saw a large shadow reminiscent of a jackal. I felt frozen to where I stood. She looked at me and smiled chaotically. I blinked and she was gone, I shook my head, unsure of what just happened. I looked back around to find Evy watching me. The stare in her eyes made me wonder if she saw it too. But I knew better, that was the look of questioning. She knew something was wrong, but she knew better than to ask twice. I had that in common with my brother, stubbornness.
“Is the next group ready?” I asked her, assuming that’s why she came to find me. Some of our museum visitors got confused at the entrance into the building, unaware that part of the space was a library.
“Yes.” She mused sounding far off in her thoughts. I smiled, this was one of Evy’s many silly traits. I walked past her at the doorway and headed to the library where the group was waiting to enter the museum.
“Hello everyone, my name is Eris O’Connell, I’ll be your guide today. On behalf of the Museum of Antiquities, I’d like to welcome you all to Cairo, Egypt. As a reminder please do not touch anything, our artifacts are very old. Your fingers contain oils that can degrade the artifacts and inks. If you have any questions feel free to ask. We’ll start on the first floor.” I walked the group forwards and took a right turn, our first stop was the Middle Kingdom gallery. We left the sarcophagi open so the guests could see the wrappings and how well the bodies were preserved from the mummification process. I zoned out for the rest of the tour, going through the motions of my usual spiel that I gave to the foreigners who visited our little jewel of a museum. The tour concluded on the second floor. I smiled and waved them out the door near the stairs. I dropped my smile once they were all gone and closed the door. I was extremely done with niceties for the day. I heard a loud crash come from what I assumed was the library. I quickly threw the lock on the door and ran towards the library to see what happened. I walked in with the curator at my side.
“Look at this! Sons of the pharaohs, give me frogs, flies, locusts anything but YOU!” He yelled at Evy stepping on the books that had tumbled out from the library shelves. The shelves themselves were in a circular array all over the floor, toppled like dominos.
“Compared to you the other plagues were a joy.” He shouted out exasperated. I stayed silent waiting where I had an escape if I got dragged into the mess.
“I am so very sorry, it was an accident,” Evy muttered out unsure of what to say to the curator's wrath.
“My dear, when Ramesses destroyed Syria, that was an accident. You are a catastrophe! Why do I put up with you??” I saw the betrayal go through Evy’s eyes. She quickly gathered her composure and started to give him reasons as to why she indeed deserved her job.
“Well, well, you put up with me because I can read and write ancient Egyptian, decipher hieroglyphics and hieratic, and well I am the only person within a thousand miles who knows how to properly code and catalog this library. That’s why!” She ended, I could tell she was trying to find more reasons but settled for what she had told him.
“I put up with you because your father and mother were our finest patrons, that’s why. Allah rest their souls. I don’t care how you do it, I don’t care how long it takes, straighten up this missivah.” He sternly ended his rant. Walking back towards me, glaring his way down the hallway to his office. I wasn’t entirely sure if he really enjoyed this line of work. The former curator was caught selling the more lucrative mummies to the richer patrons of the museum, at least Dr. Bay was better than he was. I walked over the books on the floor to meet Evy. She put her hand on her forehead, upset with the messy library that she had just spent hours categorizing. I put my arms around her in a brief hug.
“I’ll help you finish this,” I told her holding her at arm’s length. Letting go of her I bent over to pick up a book. Set volume 1 in my hands. The neat black cover with the gold printed words on the front felt familiar in my hands though I’d never read this one before. I was about to say something when I heard another bang.
“Hello?” Evy asked the air, glancing towards the west wing of the museum. I hadn’t been in there in about an hour and I had made sure the tourists were out of the museum before I locked the doors. Curiosity compelled us toward the area. I walked towards where the noise emanated from. Now it sounded like someone shuffling across the floor.
“Abdul? Mohammed? Bob?” Evy’s voice rang out amongst those in their sarcophagi.
“Oh come on Evy don’t be silly. It’s us and the dead.” I whispered to her holding back a giggle. An inappropriate reaction, it was an O’Connell thing. She grabbed a torch near the entrance into the Middle Kingdom gallery where I start the tours. Then I heard it again, down near the end of the small room. We walked forwards arm in arm. Evy stopped briefly at the statue of Anubis and Horus. They stared down at us like they were holding the secrets to the universe and we were too simple-minded to understand. I felt Evy shudder next to me. I moved us forwards determined to find the source of the noise. I stopped just before the sarcophagus, this one’s lid was open. The curator and I had come to an agreement, our system was when I gave the last tour of the day he would go through and start shutting down the galleries one by one. This included locking up, shutting the sarcophagi, and putting away the more precious items into a safe. I started getting lost in my thoughts as I heard a terrible screech and the mummy that had been lying in the sarcophagus for thousands of years sat up for the first time in millennia. Evy screamed and her grip tightened on my arm. The mummy’s eye sockets were now empty and little strands of hair that were still attached to the skull stood out. Jonathan, Evy’s brother, appeared behind the skeleton.
“Have you no respect for the dead?!” Evy sternly berated his actions. Letting go of my arm and setting the torch in a holder on the sarcophagus.
“Of course I do, but sometimes I’d rather like to join them.” Jonathan smiled drunkenly putting the mummy’s skeletal arm on the edge of the tomb.
“Well, I wish you would do it sooner rather than later, before you ruin my career the way you’ve ruined yours, now get out!” She yelled at him smacking him in the process and urging him to get out of the tomb, which I’d told people not to touch just an hour prior.
“My dear, sweet baby sister, I’ll have you know…” Jonathan started in on his bullshit, I knew what was coming, he ‘found’ something else to try to get her to sell to the curator. He paused as he straddled the edge of the crypt. Hurting what little balls he had left.
“At this precise moment, my career is on a high note.” He finished his sentence, climbing completely out of the sarcophagus now.
“High note, HA! I’m really not in the mood for you. I’ve just made a bit of a mess in the library and the Bembridge scholars have rejected my application form again, they say I don’t have enough experience in the field.” She ranted to him, sitting down at the base of a statue. She and I would gossip about the Bembridge scholars to this day. There had been many rejections she had been facing because of this old man's club. It baffled me why she kept trying, I understood the sentiment from her parents but there had to be some way she could get field experience.
“You’ll always have me old mum, besides I have just the thing to cheer you up.” Jonathan touched his forehead with hers and picked her chin up with his pointer finger. He moved back towards the tomb, lifting the mummy’s leg to figure out where he put this new piece of property he had acquired probably in a nefarious way.
“Oh no, Jonathan not another worthless trinket if I have to take another piece of worthless junk to the curator to try and sell for you…” Evy started on her own rant that she always gave him when he tried to give her something to be appraised. I knew the moment my eyes hit the puzzle box that this was something of truly great importance.
“Where did you get this?” She asked him, as I held my tongue in the corner.
“On a dig down in Thebes.” He replied.
“Lie.” I coughed, clearing my throat as I knew that he would get the idea. He looked over at me and rolled his eyes.
“My whole life I’ve never found anything, Evy, please tell me I’ve found something.” He said looking back to his sister hopefully.
“Jonathan I think you’ve found something.” She said as she spun it around and examined it, the trinket popped open and she pulled out a single piece of parchment that had been folded to fit inside the box.

I came across your Arishem content the other day and was meaning to say, firstly, your depiction of Yan!Arishem is terrifyingly good. Secondly, how would Arishem react to a reader who on the slim to none chance did escape? Like they managed to planet hop just enough with Eros’ help to get away.
A/N: I’m glad you like my portrayal of Arishem!
Tumblr media
On the slimmest chance reader does not return to Earth (on the first time, that is,) they’ll live in constant fear for the rest of their life. Arishem will experience a growing sense of longing and a dooming sense of loneliness that begins to unravel him. He remains eerily (and deadly) calm in his ruthless endeavor to find and recapture you again, but the other celestials and Eternals will sense his imbalance.
Arishem does not feel panic, but he does feel an even more intense desire to have your company again which begins to show through his actions. Each planet he teleports to will be throughly searched, memories scourged so that he can mark off returning to the planet if you’re not there or to trace your presence and reveal what location you went to next. He may even employ Eson the Searcher and Gammenon the Gatherer to assist him in his endeavor. Then, he will communicate to the prime Eternal of each planet to notify him if they see you. So, not only do you have one celestial now chasing you, but three. And thousands of Eternals on the lookout. Nice.
You may have escaped but staying escaped is literally never going to continue unless you have the infinity gauntlet, a companion strong enough, or another celestial, (maybe Tiamut?) to keep your whereabouts hidden. (Oh, and word of advice for seeking out Tiamut’s help, do not let him sweet talk you into hiding in that hole that goes deep within the Earth where he is laying. You’ll find it rather hard to ever come back out.)
If you never ever return to Earth, You will likely become a nomad, hopping from planet to planet forever while fearfully wondering what day will finally be the one Arishem’s metal bonds drag you into the sky again. You won his game fair and square. There will be no physical punishment for you. However, to keep you close, you will spend a significant amount of time as a satellite of Arishem’s, trapped by his gravitational pull and staying within nearby orbit if you’re not pinned against him already.
Unfortunately, Eros is going to be destroyed once Arishem realizes his rebellion in this. He was already defective and rebellious of his original purpose so Arishem sees no reason to let him live. Anyone else who helps you meets the same fate eventually after Arishem slowly loses more and more time without you by his side. Arishem will never lose sight of his original goal of universal rebirth, but he will indeed become far more willing to bend the rules if it means finding you.
Eventually, as a last resort, Arishem will likely hold a planet hostage (especially a planet deemed unworthy,) or various people to scare you into returning. Unless you want billions of deaths on your conscious, you’d do well to listen.
Seeing how afraid you are for other people, Arishem discovers a new form of control and will use it to his advantage. If he manages to recapture you, your memories will not be deleted. Arishem will realize he can enjoy your presence in full, without your disorientation. You will have every memory returned to you. The ones where he stole you from your planet. The one where you panicked and pleaded not to have your memories erased for the god knows what time. The one where you shakily asked if and when he would return you. All of them. That may just be your punishment, remembering every horrible event and how oblivious you remained for millennia.
Eventually, Arishem will even drag you along with him on his various escalades to planets, forcing you to watch as he destroys them or culls deviants or whatever else. Maybe if you see how little everything else is compared to him, you’ll give up thinking any of it is worth it down there.

how the haikyuu boys fall in love
oikawa falls in love like a tsunami’s last breath. the first time he realises he loves you, he thinks the earth beneath his feet has fractured. terrified, he recedes from your life, pulls back from your outstretched hands, withdraws from your longing gaze, hoping that his feelings will, too. instead, they surge forward with a roar, swell to monstrous heights, foaming viciously at the crest. and soon, the colossal wave collapses against the shore, unable to fight any longer. when his words finally flood out, that roar of the tsunami arrives in the end as a whisper–– “i love you.” and everything is washed anew.
iwaizumi falls in love like a tree branch under snow. his feelings accumulate crystal by crystal: a touch here, a smile there, a picture at 2 am followed by “i saw this and thought of you” and a reply of “go to sleep, idiot” seconds later. you worm your way into his heart so slowly he doesn’t notice it at first, doesn’t notice the thick layer of snow on the caving wooden limb, doesn’t notice that one more fleeting brush against his fingers will tip the scale–– until the branch finally snaps. and when he opens his eyes to a world bedazzled by snow, the only face he can see is yours.
kuroo falls in love like honey on pancakes. with him, there’s no sudden realisation, no flashbulb moment of his adoration, because he’s been happily fixed in a golden state of mind ever since the day you met. every day, his name sounds sweeter out your mouth. every day, he wakes up with sugar on his lips. it’s slow, how his love for you grows, but it’s steady. and now, as you kiss every knuckle on his hand to pull him back down to earth, he can only let out a soft, amused exhale through his nose. his half-lidded gaze focuses on your decadent features. “i’m here,” he purrs. 
kenma falls in love like eyelids after dark. very rarely do the gears in his head stop spinning; he’s lived his entire life on alert, taking in and apart details to survive. but with you… there’s no need to take in and apart the way your lips feel against his, the scent of your hair in his nose, your shallow breath against his neck. it all feels so safe. with you, he’s home–– he can finally rest. so even when light drains out from the sky, even when the world is at its worst, at the feeling of your body curling up to his, the gears in his head grind to a halt. and he lets his heart beat instead.
bokuto falls in love like a fledgeling from its nest. he knows it’s reckless––  ridiculously reckless–– to have so much faith in wings not yet fully formed, but there’s something about you that makes him want to soar. maybe it’s that you remind him of a cloudless blue sky or a valley that stretches from both ends of the earth or an ocean that glitters beneath the sun. maybe it’s that your name is a call to adventure. and at that moment, he realises that birds don’t fly when they’re ready–– they fly when they’re called to. so he steps to the edge, spreads his arms out, and leaps, your name a prayer on his lips.
akaashi falls in love like silence between friends. it comes over him naturally, instinctively, right as he thinks that he could do nothing next to you forever and still be satisfied. the feeling wraps his shoulders like a blanket and, with a twitch of his lips, he pulls it closer around himself. his eyes dart over to your figure, wondering if you know–– if you’d known this whole time. and then when you catch his gaze, when you ask “like what you see?” with a smirk on your face, he feels the fabric stretch around his shoulders as if to fit a second body. his reply comes to him like second nature, like instinct. “no, i love it.”
atsumu falls in love like skydiving from a plane. he’s meticulous, guarded, the most untrusting of fate. so he fights to gain the upper hand: he picks his parachute, his pilot, the day with the best weather–– everything is in his control. and when you come in full view, he finally thinks the dropzone is perfect. only then does he throw all caution to the wind, diving head first, eyes closed all the way down. an awesome wave of euphoria washes over him, lasting even when he realises he’s landed right in your arms, hair mussed, cheeks flushed, pupils wild with excitement. he wants to freefall into you again. so he does.
osamu falls in love like night over the city. it’s as inevitable as the cycle of the sun and moon and when it happens, he’s still the same–– yet everything is different. beside you, he feels the air change and all else fade into the background. beside you, the hum of the world turns into a steady beat, a pulse awfully similar to the one in his chest. and he flickers to life, a mosaic of light, when you touch him. he doesn’t usually look like this, you think as you draw circles on the back of his hand, trying to pinpoint what about him has changed. smiling softly, he knows that you’ll figure it out soon. or... he could say it now.
kita falls in love like a seed into the ground. he doesn’t feel it when it’s sowed, nor when it takes root beneath the soil, but he sure feels when it sprouts. its stem crawls around his legs and up his trunk, keeping him safely fixed to earth. it grows with every “good morning” and “i’ll save you a seat”, it grows when you prance over with a joke on your lips and two coffees in your hands. it grows when he sees you with your eyes closed, head tilted towards the sky like a sunflower, and realises that you are all he’s ever wanted. your head turns. your eyes meet. and as spring does with the cherry trees, he blooms.
ushijima falls in love like a comet past the sun. as he hurtles by, your radiance melts his icy exterior into the glimmering cloud in his wake. every inch of his body is on fire. he feels the power in the pull of your orbit. feels you could utterly ruin him. feels he’d be okay with it, too. but you don’t. instead, he thinks himself made of anti-gravity as you trace constellations into his skin. he sees stars collide when you kiss. and when he remembers how a comet can spend thousands of years without passing the sun in its orbit, he looks at you asleep in his arms and holds you just a little tighter to his chest.
tendou falls in love like confetti on new year’s eve. this moment has spent all year in the making. ten, from the day you pummelled into his life. nine, the time that slowed when he saw you smile. eight, when you changed each other’s names in your phones. seven, that time he dragged you out to a party. six, how you retaliated by taking him to a play. five, your shoulders touch during said play. four, his fingers wrap around yours during the finale. three, you hold hands all the way home. two, he walks you to the door. one, you stop. zero, he leans in. and the world explodes in full colour.
kageyama falls in love like a fawn upright for the first time. it’s all new–– the butterflies in his stomach, the sluggishness of his tongue in his mouth, the short-circuiting of his brain when you’re around. he stumbles and trips and topples over navigating through the tingling in his body. “are you okay?” you ask, peering into his eyes. his cheeks burn as he nods, unable to form words. he thinks he’ll be fine, though, until you place a hand on his shoulder. the touch sends another flood of electricity through his nerves. “you sure? you look like you’re about to hurl.” and he resolves that he will do something about this.
tsukishima falls in love like a chest in resignation. he didn’t believe in softer emotions–– or at least, that’s what he told himself. and he held out for so long. but then you came along with your dumb sparkly eyes and your stupid smart mouth and infuriatingly sweet smile. even with the argument still fresh on his mind, he still adores you to death. especially right now, as he struggles to breathe knowing that he might lose you. fine, he thinks, no more running. he picks up his phone and sends the message that’s been sitting in his notes. and finally, he lets out a sigh. you win. he’s never been happier to lose.
sakusa falls in love like the last leaf before winter. just as a tree holds onto its foliage for dear life, he is stubborn in refusing to fall. still, even he is powerless against nature. as autumn goes, winter arrives in your form. he thinks you are the strangest cold–– the kind that soothes instead of stings, the kind that kindles fires and bakes chocolate chip cookies, the kind that turns his cheeks red without a touch but with a smile. but he likes it. so when winter knocks at his door and asks if he’s “ready to go?” he, the last leaf on the tree, finally flutters down to the ground.

If We Were Fast Enough
Flash!Reader x Flashfamily One-Shot
Word Count: 5.3K Warnings: Explicit Language, Angst
Author's Note: I had this idea after watching a few clips of Flashpoint Paradox! Enjoy! -Thorne
**********************************************************************
Her hand was tightly clasped in his, eyes narrowed in sadness, but there was a pride in them; she felt the speed transfer between them, flowing through her veins and he said, “You’ve got my speed, honey. It’s up to you now.”
The tears that had welled in her vision tipped over and she whispered, “I can’t leave you here, dad. I—I can’t just run away.”
He shook his head. “You’re not running away. You’re surviving.” A groan escaped him, and the pool of blood seemed to double in size. “We’re running out of time. You’ve gotta go before the timeline collapses.”
“Where do I go?” she asked, wiping her eyes. “This universe is home.”
“Honey, Speedsters are Speedsters whichever universe we’re in.” he smiled weakly at her. “You’ll have a family wherever you end up.”
She gazed at him, breathing deeply as fresh tears grew in her gaze. “I’m scared.”
“I know. But you can do this.” he replied, pausing to look her over. “You look just like your mother, honey.” He smiled tearfully. “She’d be so proud of you if she were here now.”
Pulling the cowl over her head, she gave a watery laugh. “Mom always said I looked like you.”
“Nah. You take your speed and nature after me, but you are a spitting image of your mother.” A blast sounded in the distance and they both looked over, eyes widening as the white flash of light grew larger and larger. “You have to go. Now.”
Swallowing thickly, she leaned down and hugged him around his neck as tight as she could, inhaling the scent of ozone and spearmint for the last time. “I love you, dad. I love you so much.” Her fingers dug into his ruined suit as she cried. “I love you.”
He caressed the back of her cowled head. “I love you more, honey.” Pulling away, he leveled her with a firm look. “Now run, Lightning Flash. Run.”
The bluish-white lightning flowed across her body, and she turned, letting her feet carry her across the war-torn field, escaping the atomic blast. The world melted around her, a blur of memories surrounding her: her birthdays, her parents’ faces, her first stroke as a Flash, the start of the war, the deaths of her friends and family, everything up until now.
She was helpless to stop the tears that flowed down her cheeks, the feeling of her heart pounding in her chest, and the booming in her ears as she ripped through the waves of time and the boundaries of space.
A shriek sounded behind her, and she turned her head, eyes widening. “Ah shit!”
The time wraith screamed at her again, reaching out to grab her and she just barely dodged it, turning back to face the flowing warp. She was close. All she had to do was get to the next time boundary and she could lose the wraith.
“Almost there!” she told herself as another bellowed sounded in her ears again, and with one final leap, she burst through the barrier, the waves collapsing around her. The shock of the blast sent her skidding along the ground, and she cried out as she rolled.
Shouts sounded in her ears, humans, but she was more concerned about the screaming time wraith. “I just lost everything! Can’t you just leave me the hell alone!” It shrieked at her again, advancing and anger welled through her as she pushed herself to her feet and she growled, “You wanna dance, you sonovabitch? Then let’s dance.”
Her eyes lit up in a white force and she darted past the wraith, hitting a point above it, then she darted past again, and again and again in a star formation, over and over until all that could be seen was a blur of blue and white. The clouds rumbled above, swirling faster and faster and she hit the top of the star, coming down at the wraith. A burst of lightning cracked from the sky, striking the time being just as she collided with it, and in a hail of blue and white strikes, the wraith exploded into smoking fragments.
As the smoke cleared, the human voices grew louder, but she was sprawled out on the ground, breathing heavily, her body crying under the strain. Someone placed their hand on her shoulder, worrying, “Are you alright?”
She nodded weakly. “Yeah…just gimme a minute. The five-star lightning strike always takes a lot outta me.” Shutting her eyes, she focused on breathing deeply.
“I’ve never seen anyone destroy a time wraith before.”
“It takes practice.” Craning her neck, she opened her eyes, and bit back a sob as the man’s face cleared before hers. “You’re this world’s Flash, aren’t you?” she whispered, “Barry Allen.” His blue eyes widened, and he nodded mutely. “I figured.”
“Who are you?” he asked. “What world did you come from?”
She shook her head. “Doesn’t matter. It’s gone now.” Meeting his gaze once more, she added, “But you can call me the Lightning Flash.”
“What’s your real name?” Barry quizzed.
(Y/N) Allen. And I’d tell you that but all it’d do is bring hurt to both of us.
“(Y/N) Sloan.” She laid her head down, closing her eyes. “I’m gonna take a nap for a while…I’m really…tired…”
His voice called out to her, but all she heard was a warbling noise as she drifted into darkness.
***
When she came to, her head felt like someone had thrown an overripe melon off a balcony ledge and watched it splatter across the ground. She groaned and forced her eyes to open, pushing herself up on her palms.
“Woah, woah, woah!” someone worried. “Take it easy there, Flashy.”
(Y/N) looked over, seeing a familiar green symbol, and an ever more familiar unmasked face. “I’m fine, Hal.”
He blinked. “You know who I am?”
“Please, I’d know that big head of yours from a mile away.” Smirking, she added, “I know everyone in the Justice League.” She grunted, pulling her left arm over her chest, feeling the taut muscles in her back ripple as she stretched them out. “Where am I?”
“The Watchtower.” Hal gazed at her curiously. “Man, when Barry said you knew who he was, I didn’t think he meant you knew all of us.”
“You sound upset that you didn’t get to introduce yourself,” she shot back with a pained grin, stretching her other arm. “If it makes you feel any better, I’ll forget I know you, and you can reintroduce yourself.”
He chuckled and pressed a button on the side of the med bay bed. “Nah, no point now.” He looked down at the small light flashing. “Hey, she’s awake.”
In an instant, a sharp wind blew across the room and there stood the scarlet speedster without his cowl; moments later, the doors opened and in walked the top League members, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman.
(Y/N) threw her legs over the side of the bed as they walked over, waving off Barry and Hal who both reached for her, and stood on shaky legs. “Shit, I feel like a newly born giraffe.”
“You shouldn’t be up.” Barry frowned. “You practically tore yourself apart at the molecular level.”
“It was that or be taken by a time wraith,” she shot back, cracking her neck. “How long have I been out?”
“Eighty-six hours,” Batman said, taking her chin in his hand, tipping her head side to side as he shown a light in her eyes. “Your body’s been recovering slower than it should for a Flash.”
(Y/N) blinked. “The particular move does like Barry said it did. It tears the body at the molecular level to contain the speed force into one location.”
“It was dangerous,” Barry scowled, and she couldn’t help but laugh at this younger version of her father who was still just as serious.
“Being a Flash is dangerous.” She felt Batman pull away and she flexed her fingers. “I don’t use the move unless it’s a life-or-death situation.” Glancing at Barry, she questioned, “What earth is this?”
Before he could speak, Batman denounced, “You time jumped, and you don’t know what earth you came into?”
“I didn’t exactly have time to think out a plan while a nuclear blast was going off, Bruce,” she growled, glaring at him from behind the neon blue mask. “And to top it off, I had a time wraith coming after me. I wasn’t in a position to choose which earth I wanted.”
He went silent, gazing at her intently. “Whose names do you know of the Justice League here?”
(Y/N) looked around at the superheroes before her. “You’re all the same Justice League as my earth, but in mine, you’re retired, and your children run the show.”
“I’m sorry, children?” Hal interrupted. “We have—we have children?”
“Some,” she laughed. “Conner Kent is our Superman, Donna Troy is our Wonder Woman, Jason Todd is our Batman, Kyle Rayner is our Green Lantern, and Roy Harper is our Green Arrow.”
“And you?” Superman questioned.
“I’m my Justice League’s Flash. The Lightning Flash.” (Y/N) smiled wearily. “The fastest woman alive.” She toyed with the blue and white gauntlet. “At least now I am.”
“You said you were our kids?” Hal said. “Are you Barry’s daughter?”
The two Speedsters looked at each other and she answered calmly, “No. My transformation into the Flash was a freak accident, much like Wally West’s. That being said, I’m not related to the Flashfamily by blood.”
“Hmm.” Batman grunted, then turned, wandering off. “You need to rest up more then we’ll run tests.”
“Only if she consents.” Barry called out.
Bruce stopped, not even bothering to look over his shoulder as he retorted, “She’s a Speedster from another universe. We need more information before we can let her loose in anyone’s city.”
As he wandered off, she placed her hands on her hips and griped, “God, I miss Jason being Batman. He’s less of a jerk-off about new things.”
Superman chuckled, resting a hand on her shoulder. “Don’t take it the wrong way…(Y/N), was it?”
She nodded. “Yeah, (Y/N) Sloan.” Sticking her hand out, she added, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Pleasure’s all mine,” he murmured, shaking her hand strongly, then he pulled away. “He is right though. You should get some more rest before you wander around the Watchtower.”
She waved it off. “I’ll be alright. If you’ve got a treadmill designed for Speedsters though, I’d like to run a bit.”
“I’ll show you where it is,” Barry answered, leading her from the group. As they walked down the hallway, she paused, leaning against the wall as a wave of nausea came over her; he caught it instantly. “Are you okay?” he frowned. “We should go back to the med bay.”
“No.” she grunted. “I’m fine. Just…just gimme a moment.” Shaking it off, she squared her shoulders. “I absorbed speed from the remaining Speedsters on my world before I left. It’s just taking a toll on me.”
“Why absorb their speed?” he asked, and she could tell from his voice that there was a level of suspicion in it.
“Because it was the only way to keep it from being stolen by our enemies as we were being slaughtered.” (Y/N) looked down the hall. “We can go now. It’s passed.” She bypassed him, wandering down the hallway, though she kept a hand on the railing the entire time.
***
It wasn’t a surprise that they sent her back to Central City with Barry after the few tests she’d let them run. Only tests on the outside, no blood or DNA samples for them to investigate. Barry’s apartment was cramped and there wasn’t room for them both to be in the kitchen, but she’d lived there before, so ducking under his arms and turning around him was second nature.
And Barry, bless the kindhearted soul he was, tried at every opportunity to make her comfortable in the home. (Y/N) respected it, knowing that even worlds apart, Barry Allen was still Barry Allen. She watched him sometimes. When he was sitting on the sofa or at the bar, flipping through paperwork or reading a book on physics. He always lost track of time, forgot what was happening around him, but his face showed ease. Peace. Like the world wasn’t on his shoulders.
It made her miss her father. It made her miss her family and friends. Her world. (Y/N) cried at night on the couch, silent tears dripping down her cheeks as she remembered every last moment of her family and friends’ lives. She’d been lucky in the end to come out unscathed. But her father, his friends, her friends, all dead. All killed in a pointless war that ended with the entire world blown to hell—and she was the only one left.
She sat beside the window, gazing down at the quiet street below her; she felt like crying, but by now, she’d cried out every tear, and all that remained was the hole drilled in her chest, empty and aching.
“(Y/N)?” Glancing over, she saw Barry coming out from his bedroom, brows furrowing at her. “Are you okay?”
Shrugging, she looked back out the window. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be okay again, Barry.” It was hard to not call him ‘dad’ all the time, and weird to call him ‘Barry’.
She felt him sit opposite of her on the little bench. “Can I help you anyway?”
It took a while for her to speak, but when she did, her voice was barely above a whisper. “It’s all gone. My life. All of it. I’m the only one left from my world.” She swallowed the lump in her throat. “I’m…alone.” His hand rested on hers and she felt tears well in her gaze. “I miss my family…and I miss my friends.”
She shook her head, looking at him. “Why my world? Why us?” tears slipped down her cheeks. “Everything was fine one moment and the next thing any of us knew, the world was going to war, and we couldn’t stop it.” A loathing laugh escaped her. “We were the Justice League. The proteges of the greatest heroes and yet we couldn’t stop war.”
(Y/N) wiped her tears. “We failed. I failed.”
“What happened wasn’t your fault, (Y/N).” Barry murmured. “You know that.”
“It feels like it.” She countered. “What do I have to show for all my saving? A sole survivor stuck in a world that has no need for her.”
His eyes were narrowed in concern, the way her father’s used to do when she’d tell him of her troubles and doubts. “There’s always a need for us. Everyone one of us.”
“Speedsters?” she asked, and he squeezed her hand.
“If the universe wanted you dead, you’d be dead, (Y/N). But you’re here and you’re alive.” He smiled sadly. “You can’t outrun the past. But you can change the direction you’re running in.”
She gazed at him and for once in the past few weeks she’d been there, she felt her heart lighten. “Thank you, Barry.”
He smiled warmly at her and patted her hand. “Since we’re both awake…wanna go for a run?”
(Y/N) chuckled and nodded her head. “Yeah. It’d certainly help burn off the emotions.” She held out her hand and Barry looked at the ring on her finger.
“Wow, your ring is cool.” He took her hand, gazing intently at it. “I noticed your suit isn’t red like most of us Speedsters are. Yours is mainly blue and white.”
She nodded. “It was too complicated to call myself Flash since there were more than one, so I took the name Lightning Flash and designed my suit the colors associate with lighting.” (Y/N) vibrated and reappeared in her suit. “Blue and white.”
“With silver trimming,” he added, poking the mask she wore, and she batted his hand away.
“Hey, gold’s overrated.”
Barry’s face pinched as he vibrated into his suit. “Is not!”
“Is too! It’s the colors for the Seminoles.”
He placed a hand to his chest. “I can’t believe you just told me my colors were FSU’s colors. I’ve been fatally wounded.”
“You’re a drama queen,” (Y/N) laughed then started towards the door. “Race you to Coast City!”
Barry sped after her. “Why Coast City!”
“Because it’s California, man!” she watched as he matched her speed. “And Hal’s apartment always has Doritos!”
“I think you might have a crush on our resident Green Lantern,” Barry teased and (Y/N) gagged.
“Dude, gross.”
“Oh, come on! Don’t tell me you aren’t friends with your Green Lantern!”
“The best, but Kyle and I were only friends! My dalliance fell with another team member!”
“Batman?” he asked, and she nodded.
“Batman.”
“Oh. Lovely.” Barry sighed. “You and Jason Todd seem like a wonderful pair.”
(Y/N) snorted. “Contrary to popular belief, Jason was actually a fantastic Batman. He loved it, oddly enough.”
“That is odd,” the Speedster countered. “Because as far as I know, none of the Batkids want to be Batman.”
She merely laughed in return, passing the Coast City sign.
***
“You know these aren’t…my world folks, right?”
He smiled, watching the group of young adults across the room laugh and joke around. “I know, but the lot of us thought it would be good if you got together with the age group of you own.” Barry looked over. “Besides, I think you’re going to fit right in with this world’s group.”
(Y/N) tipped her head side to side, huffing a laugh as Jason thumped Kyle in the side. “We’ll see.” She let Barry lead her over and the small group perked up at their arrival.
“Hey guys, thanks for coming on such short notice. I know you were busy.”
Jason crossed his arms over his chest. “So, why did the League invite us all?”
Barry gestured to (Y/N). “I’d like everyone to meet (Y/N) Sloan. She’s a Speedster who recently arrived on this earth.”
“Recently?” Roy asked and he nodded.
“There was a…problem on her earth.” He glanced at her and nodded, prompting her to speak.
“My world isn’t in the general stream of timelines anymore.” She smiled awkwardly. “I came here to…survive more or less.” Holding out her hand for one of them to shake, she said, “But it’s a pleasure to meet you all.”
“You know who we are?” Kyle asked as he shook her hand.
“Yeah. This world is surprisingly similar to mine, Kyle.” (Y/N) smiled with a little less awkwardness. “I know all of you.” Her eyes fell on Jason who was watching her closely, teal eyes narrowed in calculation. “Penny for your thoughts?”
He hummed. “Who are we over there?”
At that, all the awkwardness fell away. “You don’t wanna know,” she giggled, and his face dropped.
“No.” she nodded, and he whispered, “Me?”
“You.”
“I’m confused,” Roy interrupted, and Donna snickered.
“I think Jason’s the Batman of (Y/N)’s world.”
“HA!” everyone dissolved into hysterics as Jason proceeded to all but cry.
“I don’t wanna be Batman!” he whined. “Why am I Batman! Why not anyone else!”
(Y/N) laughed. “What are you talking about? You volunteered to be Batman.”
“Jesus, I must’ve lost my mind then,” Jason retorted, then looked at her. “Do I carry guns?”
“Non-lethal rounds.”
“Damnit.” He sulked. “Can’t freakin’ believe I’m the Batman on your world and I willingly put the suit on.”
“You were a good Batman,” she stated. “There wasn’t anyone I trusted more to watch my back on the team.”
He met her gaze, seemingly shocked, though it only lasted a minute as he quizzed, “So if I’m Batman, does that make all of us…?”
(Y/N) nodded. “Yep. Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Arrow, and Green Lantern.”
“And you?” Kyle asked.
“Lightning Flash,” she answered coolly. “The fastest woman alive.” Meeting their gazes, she tipped her head down. “I know you’re not them…but I do hope we can be friends.” She smiled. “You can never have too many of those, no matter what world you’re on.”
Kyle looked over at Barry who was almost crying. “We get to keep her, right? Because if we don’t, I’m going to be very upset.”
(Y/N) snorted and wrapped a loose arm around his waist. “Don’t worry, Kyle. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.” A growling sounded and her cheeks warmed as she pressed a hand to her stomach. “Sorry about that.”
Jason laughed, getting to his feet. “I guess Speedster stomachs are the same no matter what world you’re on.”
“Isn’t that the truth,” Barry retorted, and the vigilante looked at her.
“Wanna annoy Batman and hang around Gotham City?”
(Y/N) nodded. “Absolutely.”
“Wait for me!” Roy shouted, yanking his legs from the table, and soon the others were following.
Barry watched them as they walked to the Zeta-Tubes, laughing and ribbing one another like they’d been friends since childhood; someone nudged him in the side, murmuring, “She’s gonna be okay.”
He nodded as Hal settled beside him. “Yeah…I know she will.” He smiled as (Y/N) leaned into Jason’s side and brought a hand to her eyes, wiping the tears away. “She’s already fitting in better than I thought.”
“(Y/N)’s a strong woman,” Hal acknowledged. “She acts a lot like you in that aspect.”
“How so?” Barry inquired and the Lantern shrugged.
“Well, you can’t get her to stop attending League meetings no matter what Batman says, and she’s always ready to put herself on the line for us.” Hal huffed a laugh. “And she treats me like I’m an old man. I’m thirty-eight and she acts like I’m fifty-six.” He looked at Barry. “But she flows in the world like you, Barry. Her mannerisms, her styles, her speech, it’s all you.”
The Speedster frowned, quietly stating, “You think she’s my future daughter, don’t you?”
Hal shrugged. “She doesn’t look like you, but she’s comfortable around you. Like she knows she’s safe if you’re there with her.”
“Why lie about it though?” Hal could tell Barry was hurt. “Wouldn’t she want to tell me?”
“If you lost everything and showed up in another world where there was a parent still alive, would you act like nothing changed or would you keep it at arms-length?”
Barry sighed. “You’re…right.” He shook his head. “I didn’t even think of that.” His frown deepened. “She must hate looking at me though. I’m not her dad but I’m another version of him.”
“She doesn’t hate you, Barry.” Hal said, clasping his hand on his best friend’s shoulder. “She’s just…trying to keep it all together and not mix this world with hers.”
“I feel connected with her.” He admitted. “The speed force works funny like that. We can feel other speedsters—we know their speeds and auras.” His voice became soft. “Hers feels like…like…”
“Like?” Hal encouraged and Barry sighed.
“Her aura feels like when I went back in time and saved my mom.” He shook his head. “It’s hard to explain but she feels like—”
“Like family.”
Barry gaped at Hal. “Yeah…that’s exactly it.”
Hal nodded. “She’s still your daughter even worlds apart.”
“What do I say to her?”
“Don’t.” he answered. “Let her come to you about it.”
“That sounds like a good idea,” Barry agreed.
***
The group had dispersed as quickly as it had come together, not that she was overly upset—she knew they all had prior engagements and teams to be apart of, but she would’ve been lying to say that it hadn’t saddened her a bit. Jason and Kyle, however, seemed to be the only ones that were usually around, Jason more than the latter.
(Y/N) liked being around Jason. He was much more hotheaded than she was used to, but she decided that like the Flashes, Jason Todd was Jason Todd no matter what universe he was in.
He was a little more reckless than she knew, playing fast and loose with the game, but he knew where his feet landed with each jump, and he was there when she needed help, her the same.
It hadn’t taken him long to deduce that the two of them were more than friends in her world, making the joke that she was his Catwoman—she’d cried she’d laughed so hard, but it given them time to talk about everything that had happened to her and her world; most importantly, her father.
She watched as Jason reclined against the cool stone of the ledge, passing one of the wrapped cheeseburgers to her. “Thank you,” she murmured, unwrapping it.
“Mhm,” he hummed, sipping his milkshake, setting his hood beside him; he swallowed and looked over. “What’s on your mind?”
(Y/N) blinked. “What are you talking about?” he merely cocked a brow and she sighed. “I forgot you could read people well.”
“Well maybe if you were a book and not a pamphlet, it’d be harder.”
“Did you just call me simple?”
“Never.” He waved it off. “What are you thinking about?”
She sighed again and set her half-eaten burger aside, pulling her knees to her chest as she whispered, “My mom’s maiden name was Sloan.”
Jason arched a brow. “You go by ‘Sloan’. Was your mom married?”
“My parents were. She died from cancer when I was ten.”
“I’m sorry,” he lamented, and she smiled.
“Thank you.” (Y/N) looked over. “My last name is Allen.”
His eyes widened. “As in Barry Allen, Allen?”
“Yeah…my dad.”
Jason blinked. “Holy shit.”
“Mhm.” She propped her chin on her knees. “The reason I’m just as fast as Wally West in this world is because I absorbed my dad’s speed before I left mine.” (Y/N) gazed at the city. “And then I left him to die in the blast.”
“You know that wasn’t your fault.”
She huffed. “So Barry’s told me.”
Jason stared at her. “Why do you live with him in Central City?”
“Because I don’t have anywhere else to go,” she answered. “And I…I—”
“You miss your dad.” He answered for her, and she nodded, feeling warmth gather in her eyes and she squeezed them shut.
“Yeah…it’s not him but…”
“It’s the only thing you’ve got that’s close enough to him.”
“Yeah.”
Jason nodded. “You’re welcome to come live with me over here.”
(Y/N) looked over at him. “I can’t do that, Jason.”
“Why not?”
She laughed. “We barely know each other.”
He shrugged. “We know each other enough.” Gazing at her, he added, “I’m not your world’s Jason, but we must be similar enough because I’ve seen and felt you fall behind me during fights, being at my six when I didn’t have it covered.” He smiled. “You know me, (Y/N), and I’d like to know you too.”
She merely gaped at him, then huffed a laugh. “I think that’s the most similar thing to my world’s Jason that I’ve heard you say.”
“Oh, come on!” he griped. “He couldn’t be that different from me!”
(Y/N) smiled. “Robins.”
Jason blanched. “I had Robins?”
“You had a son, who was exactly like you right now.”
“I wanna ask about the son, but what do you mean right now?”
“Oh, you know…hotheaded, anti-social, antagonistic.”
“You’re cute,” he scowled, then looked into the distance. “I can’t imagine bringing my kid with me.”
(Y/N) giggled. “Please, it took him like five years of complete begging on his knees before you’d even let him put on the suit, let alone go out with you.” She reached over and pushed hair behind his ear. “You were a good father…a good man.” Her expression turned sad. “I wasn’t fast enough to save either of you.”
Jason leaned into her touch, a frown on his face. “They know you tried, (Y/N).”
Tears gathered in her eyes. “I hope they knew that.” She shook her head as the tears started to spill over. “I lost everyone. You, JJ, my dad and all my friends.” (Y/N) stared at him through the tears. “How do I just start over after all that?”
He pushed the takeout bags out of the way and scooted over, pulling her to his chest; she buried her face in his suit and he propped his chin on the crown of her head. “I wish I had an answer for you.” He rubbed circles in her back. “But I do know that you can either let this keep you down, or you can get back up. Because if you don’t…then every life lost was in vain for you to survive.”
“I take it back,” she blubbered. “Your philosophical bullshit life lessons are the most Jason thing I’ve heard.”
He smiled, squeezing her tight. “That’s what we’re gonna call it now. Philosophical bullshit life lessons.” Jason pressed a kiss to her head. “It’s going to be okay, (Y/N). It’ll get better.”
***
It’d been a full year since she’d come to the new earth. She hadn’t moved in with Jason yet, but the moving boxes on the couch were the start of it—and she hadn’t told Barry she was leaving, or that he was her dad. (Y/N) wasn’t sure how to break that seal just yet.
She wandered around the tiny apartment, smiling at all the memories she’d made in the past year, and into his bedroom, where she paused at his dresser. A gold ring rested on top of it, and she picked it up, flipping it in her hand.
A woosh sounded from the door. “I’m home!” Barry’s voice trailed off in confusion and he called, “(Y/N)?”
“Here.”
He appeared in her peripheral, but she didn’t take her eyes off the ring, still gazing at the center stones. “There are boxes on the couch.”
“I’m moving in with Jason over in Gotham.”
“Oh…” he murmured, then took sight of what she had in her hands. “Is that—”
“Nora’s wedding ring?” she nodded. “Yeah.”
“How’d you know it was my mom’s?” Barry asked, stepping up to her and she finally looked at him, meeting his eyes.
“Because I had the same one in my world.” (Y/N) searched his gaze. “But you don’t seem surprised by that fact.” She sighed. “How long have you known?”
Barry’s face contorted in shame. “A few weeks after you got here.”
“Why didn’t you say something?”
He shook his head. “Hal said—” he sighed. “I wanted to wait until you said something to me about it. I was afraid if I did, you’d run.”
(Y/N)’s brows pulled together, lips pulling down sadly. “Barry…”
“I know I’m not your dad,” he whispered. “But I know, (Y/N). I can feel it.”
She felt her lips wobble and before she knew it, she was throwing herself into his arms, wrapping hers around his waist as tight as she could. “Dad.”
Barry’s arms came around her, one holding the back of her head, the other in the middle of her back. “I’m here, (Y/N).”
“I missed you so much,” she cried. “I wasn’t fast enough to save them, and I couldn’t save you either.”
“No,” he said. “You did everything you could. I know you did.”
“But I wasn’t fast enough.” (Y/N) sobbed. “You had to give me your speed so I could run away. Like a coward.”
“Like a survivor,” Barry corrected. “You’ve never run away.” He ran his fingers through her hair. “You’re a survivor, (Y/N). And your dad made sure of that.” He pulled away slightly, tears of his own dripping down his cheeks. “You’re fast enough.” She shut her eyes as more tears rolled down her cheeks and he pressed his lips to her forehead. “And no matter what world you’re on, you’re still my daughter.”
A laugh that sounded much more like a sob escaped her and she hugged him again. “I love you, dad.”
Barry smiled, holding her tight. “I love you more, honey.”

He Calls Me Honey Tits
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
A/N: Here’s the third and last part of you and Arthur being lovers during his time in the whorehouse! In which this cheeky bastard slathers honey on your tits and teases you and pleases you until you’ve never been so damn aroused 🙃🍯💦
Pairing: King Arthur x F!Reader Warnings: smut, swearing, Brothel Boy Arthur being a cheeky little shit (licking honey off your tits, eating you out and denying you his dick until you beg for it)
Word Count: ~2.2k
Tumblr media
… Continued from Part 2 [Read Here]
“How may I be of service, honeybee?”
The beaming blue-eyed bastard leads you to his bedchamber and softly shuts the door. Though he’s the brothel boy it feels like you’re the whore. You’re far more smitten in his presence than you want to be.
Sensing the indignation fuming off your body, Arthur smirks as if it’s funny. “Anybody ever told you that you’re lovely when you’re huffy?”
Suddenly, your cunt lips feel swollen and puffy. Slick as if this cheeky thief had dipped his finger in your honey. Try to stay composed and classy. “You can’t work your charms to get your petty crime past me. This is about the money.”
“But of course it is. Just business.” Arthur winks and it’s without a doubt the wickedest shit you have ever witnessed.
Keep your wits before he sucks you deeper into this—whatever this shit is. “You said that we could meet at your place to sort out the fucking payment. Here I am to fucking claim it.”
“Ohh, she bites,” he taunts like he has any right. “Such nasty language from a mouth so nice. Love, what’s your price? Just name it.”
“I am not your love!” you furiously huff.
“Not yet. But I’d bet just the thought has got your honeypot all wet.”
Did he just—he just—sweet mother of Jesus—
“Mmm, I’d love a taste,” he teases. Sea-blue gaze mirrors the lust that’s written all across your face. “Can’t let such honey go to waste.”
“You’ve stolen quite enough already, I daresay.”
His voice is steady, yet his cock is raging madly as he steps so close that you can almost feel it. “Didn’t steal it. You just let it slip away.”
All your dignity and self-restraint, that is. Such is the picture that his passionate words paint; he’s driving you to fucking madness. Sheer destruction through seduction is this little bastard’s favorite game to play. And he won’t stop until he’s buried in your honeypot today.
***************
Just how this sweet sticky mess ended up spread all across your tits, you can’t quite say.
Fuck it. You’re naked on the boy-whore’s bed with honey slathered on your bare breasts and your cunt is dripping buckets. Blue eyes own you where you lay. Somehow the bastard has convinced you that for what he stole from you today at market, shameless pleasure is the best way to repay.
The session started with a fight over the jar that he had thieved. He taunted you until he wanted you more than he could believe. More than his station in this house even allows. Voices raised, daggers from your gaze. Aroused. Amazed. 
Saw how his thirst aligned with yours, as shouts and hisses flung between you turned to roars, and pinned you down onto the bed with feral force. Paused to make certain you were both on the same page. A man of care and caution though the beast in him may rage.
And here and now with words unspoken that blue gaze of his explores. Impales you to the core, seeks out your secret inner whore. All set to free her from your inhibitions’ cage. The truth of you that any other man including your own lawfully wedded pig always ignores.
Do you want to fucking engage? 
Of fucking course.
And so you do. Fire and water all at once, this man’s effect upon your cunt, flaming and fluid. This is what true pleasure is, you think as he attacks heavy and hot. Slut for the once and future king of fucking Camelot. Already his, as he claims your lips in a cataclysmic kiss, crashing together in a spell of breathless bliss.
He tastes of courage. Hunger, unfed all the stronger. Poor boy forced to live on stolen scraps and half-full bowls of porridge. Forced to fight and fuck and forage. Forge his way through filth without the faintest clue his royal blood doesn’t belong here. Here with you he’s poor no longer.
First few minutes of your time spent in his bed the boy-whore shatters you to bits.
And now you’re here with stolen honey smeared across your naked tits.
You gasp a giddy laugh at how ridiculous this funny business is. “You cheeky little shit!”
He smirks and lets the now half-empty jar of honey clatter to the floor. Hovering over you all set to make damn sure... that you will always and forever be his filthy little whore. “You know you fucking love it, honey tits.”
No fucking use denying it.
Arthur as well had stripped his shirt off earlier, in those first few seconds of this passionate blur, so you can see and feel the sculpted muscles of his abdomen and chest. He is a god and nothing less. Those chiseled ridges rub against your honey-covered skin and make a fucking mess. His mouth descends deliciously on yours again as skillful hands knead at the soft flesh of your breasts.
“Sweet little goddess,” he breathes out amidst the kisses and it’s too much to be honest. King among men making you feel like his queen. “Swear you’re the loveliest damn thing I’ve ever seen. The loveliest.”
The purity—he’s doing you so dirty, loving you so clean. Feel you belong here with him surely, more than anywhere on earth you’ve ever been.
Your fingers fist twined in his glorious gold locks. Hips bucking frantic to seek friction up against the fucking hard bulge of his cock. Still sheathed in cloth as he’s not yet disrobed his lower half, to free his raging shaft—likely to burst right through the fabric since he’s so massive and solid as a rock.
With every second that huge cock of his grows harder, taking your desire farther. Inner slut escapes the cage that he’s unlocked.
“Ughh—fuck me, Arthur...” you cry out, needy and loud, all honey-smothered, hot and bothered. “Fuck...”
His focus shifts off of your lips down to your neck and then your chest and suddenly he starts to suck.
Your mouth gapes wide to make a sound but has no luck. 
Choking on air as you surrender to his touch. He’s just too much. Soft lips squeeze tight around your nipple, slurping honey as it dribbles. Grinds the stiffness of his meat against the wet heat of your crotch. Glittering blue eyes glance at you beneath the gold fringe of his lashes, as your body throbs and thrashes. Getting off on the effect he has because he loves to watch.
You moan and whimper, one breast lavished in attention from his slick tongue while he works the other with his skillful fingers. Swipes his thumb across your stiff peak as he teases at the other with the pearl ridge of his teeth until your senses fall apart. “Please, Art...”
The bastard chuckles in a breathy little huff. “Don’t worry, love. Promise I’ll fuck you good and hard,” he reassures you meaning it with all his heart. “Just thought I’d better whet my appetite to start.”
Of course he’d crack a stupid fucking pun, while you’re coming undone. Scrapes his enormous bulge against your aching cunt, with a deep grunt, reminding you what you both want. How hard he’s gotten and how wet you are. You’re seeing fucking stars.
Flattens his tongue against the valley of your cleavage now to slobber up the sugary gold mess that’s gathered there. Licks slowly upward as he owns you with the bright blue of his stare. Honey spreads all across his trimmed blonde beard and sweetens every hair. 
Of all the men upon this earth no one has ever been so fair.
Dips in the hollow of your throat, and you damn well nearly explode.
And then those luscious lips are back on yours again. Lose track of where your breathing ends and his begins. 
The taste of honey should be overwhelming sweet, but something sweeter yet sparks into being where your soul and his so intimately meet. The hunger only this can feed. Each on the road to being everything the other ever needs. Perhaps not so just yet, but in the moment you first met, he’d planted that passionate seed.
Already want him now to plant another seed deep in your hole. Already know that someday he will fill that role.
But not today—today is all about pure pleasure and the game he came to play.
To claim you as his whore in every goddamned way.
Between kisses you plead with him although it’s such a struggle now to talk. “Please, Arthur—fuck...”
He snickers. That majestic bulge of his harder, and bigger. “Mmm, so pretty when you’re begging for my cock.”
Those words—the sheer filth has you so aroused it hurts—you shut your eyes for fear they’ll pop out of your sockets.
He reminds you now of how you had denied him when he’d asked you for a sample of your product. Shut that door and tried to lock it. On his own terms he had gotten his hands on it, taking what he wanted. Dirty and dishonest. “Wouldn’t let me taste your sweet honey at market. Seems I’ll have to steal that pleasure from your honeypot myself before I fuck it.”
Oh, that’s obscene—wait, does he mean—what—shit...
Upon the bed he shifts, sudden and swift, a blaze of sex, until his lust-crazed gaze is level with the slick between your legs. And that’s when the truth of it hits.
Young Arthur’s hunger for your cunt is even stronger than his hunger for your tits.
The two of you have kissed and licked most of the honey from each other’s mouths by now so that his tongue is mostly clean. And that’s exactly as he wants it so that he can taste the flavor of his lovely future queen.
He’s a complete whore for your flavor. Buries his beautiful face deep in your folds like every precious drop was made for him to savor. All at once delicate yet dominant, as he feasts on your cunt. Art makes an art of it, worshipping every part of it. 
Your wetness glistens as it gushes out across his gorgeous features from the second he descends; and yet with him the peak of pleasure’s not the end. Rather the very fucking start of it.
You shout his name, loud without shame, your inner slut unleashed with only him to blame. Your body and soul absolutely his to claim. The stolen honey and the money were just all part of the game; he knows that this is why you came.
Needless to say you need his cock inside you now but he intends to make you beg. He could spend days continuing to feed facedown between your legs.
One of his hands has wandered down to his own crotch to give himself the stimulation he deserves, now as two fingers of his other hand are pumping in your hole, while he devours your cunt whole, lips latching tight around your tender bud of nerves.
Your thousandth wave of pleasure rolls. Scream for his cock until he’s finally stripped himself naked and mounts you with his rippled muscles pressed against your curves.
And now at last uses your body for the purpose it was put on earth to serve.
Your tight hot cunt is so completely fucking soaked, he nearly chokes and almost spills his load inside of you at his first fucking stroke. 
Catches his breath and bites his tongue, knowing he can’t hold off for long. Till now he’s never known true home. The women of this brothel housed him and raised him since he was young, yet though he’s grateful for their love he never quite seemed to belong. With you he does as though he’s been here all along. Feels like the whole world is his kingdom. Kingdom finally fucking come.
You’re feeling everything the same. Someday his queen for now his filthy little slut. The flood. The flame. The fluid heat as you’re split open on this man’s majestic meat until you feel his power beating in your blood. The beast in each of you untamed. Such fucking force. His power is all fucking yours. Of fucking course.
Kisses you long and deep and hard, until the white hot bliss that’s burning through him shatters into shards. 
Pulls out in time to take his meat in his own fist and spray his seed across your stomach and your chest. Painting you like a work of art. Pearly white gleams against the honey gold that still clings to the soft skin of your breasts. Just from the feel of being coated in his load your throbbing cunt pulses until it falls apart, convulses in a rush of pleasure rooted somewhere in your slutty little heart. You’ve never felt so fucking blessed. Of all the moments of your life to date this is without a doubt the fucking best.
Yet this is all just how it starts. Your days here in the boy-whore’s bed have just begun and you don’t doubt he’ll take you to new heights of ecstasy for all the fucking rest.
He’s feeling everything the same. Smiles and calls you by your name—honey tits. 
Knows you fucking love it. Though at first you’d claimed the reason for this visit was just business... clearly that’s not what this is. Business has turned to pleasure just as you both wanted it.

Tumblr media
“So what do you think? The green cloak or the black one....ohhh or maybe the red one?” You ask excitedly as Geralt stands next to you, looking around for any potential threats more then actually paying any real attention, “I mean, the green matches more with the woods, you know trees n’ such and that’s great for blending in. But the black gives off those scary vibes you have. But the dark red one just looks so good, and comfy too.” You raise a brow as he nods, “You know.”
“Right.”
You smile at his adorably lack luster reply, it’s just how he is and that’s perfectly fine with you, “I’m going with the dark red cloak.” You grin with a curt nod of self approval for your knowledgeable decision making skills.
Turning to the cloak vendor you hold up your prize, “Good evening ma’am, how much for this mysterious beauty?”
The old woman smiles brightly, the corners of her eyes wrinkling as she beams, quite excited to have some business with you, “Oh, my dear that’ll be five silver pieces.” You nod, tucking your new cloak under your arm as you nudge Geralt for some coin.
He quickly snaps his head over to you, his golden irises showing concern before he realizes you’re completely fine, “Y/N what is it?”
With a small giggle you make a grabby motion with your hand, “Spare me five silver pieces my good sir.” You muse with a mischievous brow wiggle, earning an amused huff from your Witcher.
He politely grins, “Whatever the lady asks.” Feeling around he pulls out the exact amount of coin you need. Your palm is spread as he tilts his hand into yours, conveniently giving you the coin.
“Thank you my love.” You whisper softy as he simply hands you the flash of a smile before turning his head to scour the market place once again.
The old woman opens up a small sack of coins for you to dump yours in, “Thank ya dear, have a save eve’nin.”
Clink. Sounds the last silver piece as you hold your new dirt-less red cloak closer in your arm, “You too.”
She suddenly leans in a bit closer, her face going serious, “Best keep that Witcher close, never know what kind of beasts be lurking in the woods. Specially with the next full moons a com’in.” Her wrinkly complexion turning back into her original beaming old lady face, “Have a nice stay in Bellepav.”
Stepping away you nervously nod, “Uh, yes....I’ll try?” You reply, not certain if you should be concerned or ignore the weirdness of the locals.
Deciding to ignore the strange behavior of the kind old woman, you flash her a last generous grin before turning on your heel and walking over to Geralt. With the familiar sound of your approaching footsteps he turns an intrigued eye over to you.
His brows furrowing as you gently lay a hand on his arm, “You alright Y/N.” He worries, noticing the slight wariness in your step.
Lightly squeezing his forearm you send him a reassuring smile, “Of course, that old woman was just acting odd. Well not that odd, I’ve definitely seen weirder....she just had a strange look when she told me to keep you close and watch out for the next full moon.”
He moves to take your cloak from you, quietly swinging the thick comfortable dark red fabric around your shoulders, clasping the lock together that keeps the material from falling off your body.
After he’s done, does his beautiful golden eyes find your alluring ones, “Y/N, we’ll be fine. I wouldn’t dare let a soul touch you, you have my word.”
Reaching up to gently cup his scruffy cheek, you smirk, “I know you do.” Releasing your warm touch from his face do you turn towards the bakers cart, the smell of fresh bread wafting into your nostrils.
“Geralt!” You exclaim with an excited twinkle in your eyes, “Fresh bread....” Your skilled eyes land upon the shiny red apples displayed about on the stall, “Apples! Ugh, I haven’t had an actual apple in almost four months, what I would do for one.”
Your eyes stare dreamily at the bakers cart, your mouth watering at the smell and sight of the desired foods. Geralt chuckles at your adorable reaction before tugging at your arm. “Come on Y/N, I’ll get you something.” Speaks your kind Witcher with a tinge of humor in his gravely voice.
Snapping your head towards him, your eyes going wide in excitement, “Aww yes!” You shout before pulling him in the direction of the cart, joy flowing through your heart as you make hasty steps across the market place.
The red apples are even more beautiful then you’d first seen as you stand ogling them from your spot in the muddy lane, “Sir I’d like three apples and a loaf of that bread please.” You ask, your voice sweet as honey.
He nods, “That’ll be two silver pieces and a copper cent.” Inquires the baker with a friendly smile, casually looking you up and down though you’re to focused on the apples to even notice his slight creepiness.
Geralt does and immediately steps forward, his broad leather armored shoulder placing itself in between you and the lonely baker. His golden irises dark and deadly as he stares down the now noticeably frightened man.
The baker takes a step back, sending him a shy half grin, “Uh...I’ll get those apples...and uh...loaf of br-bread.” He stutteres, dropped his eyes to nothing else but his new task at hand.
You watch from behind Geralt’s strong body, your mind on those big beautiful apples as Geralt fishes out the coin, dropping it atop the wooden table as the baker hands him the loaf and a small bag filled with three juicy red apples.
A smile breaks out upon your face as Geralt hands you the food, you gratefully accept as he turns and practically death glares at the stunned baker, who’s notably averted his gaze to his fluffy loaves of bread.
Geralt turns back around to watch as you hug your valuables close, a small smirk pulls at the corner of his lips at your obliviously cute demeanor.
Resting a hand on your shoulder he finds your beaming eyes, “Lets go find Roach.”
You gasp, “I bet Roach would love one of these big beautiful bastards.” Earning a chuckle from your silver haired lover as he walks by your side on the way to the front entrance of the small village.
You both wander past some more harmless villagers going about their business until a small dirty little boy races past the two of you, tripping over his own two feet and just like that does he abruptly fall into the dirt. His hands landing with a thwack sound as his stomach and knees reach the hard ground.
He lets out a pained cry once his chin hits the earth, you don’t have time to think before you’ve crouched by his side like a concerned mother. You gently touch his shoulder as he sniffles, his dirt smudged face turning to you.
“That was quite the tumble, are you alright?” His big brown eyes are filled with unshed tears as he moves into a seated position, his hands clutched tight against his chest as he holds in the pain.
“Y-yes.....sorry miss I should have been looking were I was going.” He mutters, his eyes downcast as he avoids Geralt’s hard gaze from right next to you.
Your eyes turn soft before you take one of your red apples from out of your thin ruck sack, “I have just the thing that would cheer you up, ever taste something as colorful as this crimson beauty?” You add with a raise of your brow, the young boy sniffles again. His face lighting up as you wave the shining red apple across his line of sight.
You smile, handing him the scarlet treat, “I think you need this more then me. Maybe it’ll sharped those senses so you won’t fall again, hmm.”
He holds the valuable in his small grubby fingers, his eyes wide in surprised wonder, “Th-thank you miss, I’ll try and not fall again.”
You breath out an amused snort, “Yes, I wouldn’t want to land on these streets again, considering horses are ridden through them daily.” The brown eyed boy gives you the shyest of smiles before you stand to your full height once again.
“Safe travels.” You add with a friendly wink before continuing on your way out of the village, Geralt trailing after you like the ever loyal lover that he is.
His large form keeps comfortably at your side, “That was our apple Y/N.” States Geralt in his titular gruff Witcher voice.
Turning an amused smirk to him, you nudge his arm, “Great observation, but the little beast seemed to need it more...poor thing just about face planted in the street. Did look quite painful.”
Geralt smiles, always bemused by your kind intellect, “Y/N you are too kind.”
Walking past the front gates and down the muddy village trail you let out a small laugh, “What? Can I not give a little, if you haven’t noticed my White Wolf...this world doesn’t like to be very kind to the innocent most times.” He hums in agreement, “So you see, I’ll do whatever I can to help those who need it most. And if that’s a clumsy child with a dirty face, I’ll be glad to make their day better.”
You can’t see it, but Geralt’s heart could just about explode with how much love he has for you in this very moment, the way you speak with such care and kindness for the people of the continent. He’s never met anyone like you, through it all, with all you’ve seen, your heart still goes out for the ones who need it the most and Geralt knows this. 
Your whole aurora feels light and warm, excitement courses through your vessel as you think of how happy Roach is going to be once she gets a taste of your delicious apple. And especially how much you’re looking forward to taking a bite out of your own crispy red apple too. It’s the little things.
Boots press into mud as you finally find your way to the small stream where you both left Roach to nibble on some vegetation. You quickly set your loaf of bread onto a mossy log before reaching in your thin ruck sack to pull out one beautifully shiny crimson apple.
“Hello my dear Roach!” You exclaim happily as the mare neighs, “I’ve got a lil somethin’ for ya, it’s a...da da da daaaa....apple!” Geralt chuckles to himself in the background as he fumbles around in his black traveling bag, finding something to sharpen his sword with.
“How bout’ them apples..” you burst with laughter at your admittedly cheesy jest, “Okay, okay...here ya go Roach. A prize for the best lady in all the land.” Her head bobs up and down as you bring the red apple near her face. She quickly devours the fruit in a matter of seconds, the speed and her clear delight enough to earn a giggle from you.
“Roach.” You tut with a shake of your head, “Those manners are something else. Wonder who you learned them from?”
You turn an eye to Geralt who’s stopped sharpening his sword to find your humored gaze, “I wouldn’t have the slightest idea.” He mutters, doing his best to hide his growing smile.
Turning a flustered face away from him you gently pet Roach’s soft mane, “He thinks he’s funny, doesn’t he?” You whisper to the mare.
After tending to Roach for a bit do you walk down to the stream, washing away the dirt and grime from your hands and face as Geralt starts a fire close by. You can feel his golden irises watching you as the cool water washes away the worries of the day.
Finishing up your nightly routine, you stand once more, turning around to face the loving smile of your dear Witcher. You walk over to his glowing fire, a small smile upon your lips, “Room for one more?”
He scoots himself down the log, patting to the extra spot, “There’s always room for you.”
Sitting yourself next to him, he quickly wraps a protective arm around you, pulling your body close. The both of you do nothing but enjoy one another’s company and the crackling of the campfire for what seems like hours. You couldn’t be bothered to remove yourself from Geralt even if a whole war party was racing past you both louder then a giants scream.
Though you’re just about certain without a doubt in your mind that Geralt feels the exact same way. His breathing his steady and calm, it’s a comforting rhythm that you could listen to for hours. Even his large muscular arm is warm against your body, he’s like a furnace on the coldest night. And all yours.
You’re just about to drift off into dreamland when a sudden loud howl is heard in the near distance causing you to jump. Geralt hugs you closer, “Fear not Y/N, it’s just a damn wolf, nothing to be afraid of.” He assures you with the kindest of smiles, not a note of falseness lacing his words.
Resting your head against his broad shoulder once again, you gently squeeze his hand, “Right, of course. Just a stupid old wolf who apparently feels it the time to howl at the full moon tonight.” You affirm with a curt nod, “I mean, it’s beautiful out and whatnot, guess it just startled me is all.”
“There’s nothing in these woods to be afraid of, except for me.” Grumbles Geralt as he stares into the embers of the fire.
“Oh, my love I could never be afraid of you. Never.” He smiles at your truthfulness, his chest filling with warmth at your kind words.
In reply he places a gentle kiss atop your head, earning a content sigh to leave your lips at the feeling, he is too good to you and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Not once has he ever made you uncomfortable or in fear for your life because of him, Geralt makes sure of himself to always put you first. He couldn’t bare to ever see you in pain.
The grip on your Witcher’s arm goes tighter at the sound of another piercing howl, this time much too close for your liking. Geralt can sense the fearful uneasiness radiating off of your smaller frame, how your heartbeat has picked up with the rush of your nerves. You’re not one to scare that easily, but this wolf is most definitely getting closer for whatever reason.
“Geralt!” You whisper yell, “That sounded close!”
With one arm wrapped around your torso and the other one clasped around the hilt of his silver sword, he looks around him as they two of you keep seated atop the log, a grand moon cloaking the land in a strangely beautiful whiteness. Revealing enough light upon the ground so that not all of the forest is covered in darkness and shadow.
“Don’t worry Y/N, I will protect you.” He swears to you, giving a light squeeze to your hip in a small act of comfort, “And anyways, if this was anything to be truly concerned about, Roach would show it. We are going to be fine. This wolf is simply just passing through.”
Your eyes glance over to Roach who’s casually nibbling on some grass, “Alright. Perhaps I’m overreacting, it’s just a wolf going on a nightly stroll as you do, nothing weird about that.”
“Precisely, now how about we get ready for bed? I’ve got the bed rolls already layed out for us....so don’t worry Y/N I’ve got you.” Reassures your Witcher as he removes his arm from your side to rest his sword in the grass right next to his makeshift bed. 
Feeling much better now you eagerly follow suit, the roughish cloth of your traveling bed roll is a cherished luxury of journeying across the vast lands of the continent. Though a tavern mattress would be more inviting, the arms of Geralt are always enough in your eyes, or perhaps arms in this case.
Even on the coldest of nights out here would you never really feel a shiver or the icy touch of the cool night air upon your skin. For your Witcher’s large frame seems to always be enough to block out the chill with his body heat when pressed closely against your back.
 Just like he is doing now, holding you securely to his large chest, his arms wrapped around your torso. Pulling yourself firmly counter to him, a thick blanket holding in the needed heat that nicely covers over the both of you.
With Geralt so near, your wandering and worrying mind has subsided those troublesome thoughts away from you, the howling wolf from earlier now finding it’s way into the back of your head. Giving yourself time to forget and find the call to sleep once again. With the warmth of Geralt holding you close, your eyelids flutter shut in a matter of seconds, the pull into the dark void of unconsciousness taking hold of you quickly.
Soon you’re out like a light, Geralt falling asleep not long after you do, leaving only the dull glowing embers of the campfire to keep watch over the two of you. Sleep is peaceful and full of strange images presenting themselves as dreams in your head, you can hear the soft sweet calling of Geralt as he speaks sweet nothings into the bleary grey void. 
Suddenly you’re standing in a large field of the greenest grasses flowing at your feet, large beautiful mountains surrounding you on all sides off in the far distance, you look to your left and find a single small tree with a branch sticking out. 
Walking closer, a black raven materializes right before your very eyes, breaking the silence with a gravelly shrill caw as it nods in your direction. Like it’s trying to communicate with you in the birds own way, furrowing your brows, you trek closer to the mysterious bird. You don’t appear to feel afraid or scared, you’re not even sure if you feel anything at all. Guess that’s just how dreams are sometimes.
Taking another step closer the raven lets out a thrilling caw before the dark bird spreads its black wings, you stumble back as the bird jumps from its perch to take flight. It flaps past you before landing on the short green grass where it is immediately clouded in dark smoke of blues, purples, and deep reds until everything clears to reveal the dirt smudged face of the little boy from earlier that day.
You gasp, surprised to see the little guy standing right before you once again, he looks up to you now, the tiniest of smiles crossing over his face. You stand perplexed, ready to ask him why he’s here when suddenly he points to the blue sky. 
“Hold your silver close.” He speaks softly, in that unassuming boyish voice of his.
Hugging yourself, you glance back down at him, “Sorry? I’m not sure what you mean.”
He simply points his little stubby finger back up at the sky, you follow, bewildered to find that the sky is now dark and full of stars, though you can still see around you like the sun is still out. How odd.
“Hold your Witcher close.” Warns the small child in the calmest of voices. 
Furrowing your brows in confusion you meet his stoic gaze once again. “Uh....I’m kind of lost, sorry.” You mutter, “I’m not certain what you mean.”
The child smiles a beaming grin, letting out the most adorable of giggles before pointing up at the night sky for the third time, you shift your gaze to find nothing but pitch blackness. And a huge milk white glowing full moon, it’s the largest you’ve ever seen and it’s absolutely magnificent.
You don’t even notice the smile that's fallen onto your face when you suddenly hear the flapping of feathers, snapping your sight back over to the young boy, you’re perplexed to be greeted with the beaming wrinkly face of the old woman from the market. 
She nods, acknowledging your presence, “Watch for what lurks in the woods dear. The full moon is here.” She whispers, the warmest of smiles gracing over her aged face as she nods to you once again.
Taking a step closer you take a nervous fistful of the red cloak that’s covering your body, how strange you didn’t notice the material before hand. “Oh, uh hello there....it is quite beautiful isn’t it.” You stammer, “There was a little boy just here moments ago. Do you know where he went?”
She tilts her head to the side, walking a couple steps forward so that she can reach out to clasp both your hands with hers, a kind twinkle in her eye, “My dear, he will always love you, through land and sea, from woods to meadow, and far beyond what makes us human.” She gently squeezes your hands in reassurance, “No matter the cost, he will always love you. For you are his moon, and he is your sun.”
Your brows scrunch together at her poetic words of wisdom? Or, well you’re not entirely so sure, “Sorry. I’m not confident on what you’re getting at ma’am, uh...thank you, I guess.” She smiles once again, showing you a nod of approval before letting go of your hands. 
She takes a step back, clasping her palms together, “He is here.” 
“Who is here?” You wonder.
“You will see.”
Without warning she abruptly bursts into a flurry of cawing ravens that squawk and screech as they press and flap their dark wings against your face, causing you to fall back into the grass from the jolting intrusion. Suddenly you suck in a quick breath of cold air, your eyes shooting wide open, only for you to find the snoozing face of Geralt. 
His tangled dirty white hair a mess over his handsome face as he lets in slow and calming breaths, you relax, letting out an audible sigh of relief. What a strange dream that was, you’ve never had anything like it before. And your dreams are far from anything normal most times. 
Though Geralt feels rather nice snuggled next to you, your body feels hot and sweaty, like you can’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed and cornered at the moment. Wanting to get some air and cool off, you quietly and skillfully slip from your Witcher’s sweet embrace. You slowly cover him back up with the thick blanket, tip-toeing over to Roach who’s itching her furry bottom on a tree.
You take small steps towards her, a half smile pulling at the corner of your lips, “Hey there girl, having fun?” You chuckle to yourself as she does her thing.
“Nice night huh, I hope no one’s come around to bother you.” She leans her big soft nose into your gentle touch as you pet her, “I got a little too warm, guess Geralt’s a lot hotter then I anticipated. Well, I mean...he’s always hot if you catch my meaning...but you probably already new that and uh....you’d probably rather not listen to me ramble on about how attractive your rider is, hmm? So don’t fret, I will stop.”
She snorts, nudging her nose into your opened palm, “Okay girl, I think you’re great too. I’d say you’ve helped us out quite a bit and not to mention when...” 
Snap.
Your head leers to the left at the abrupt sound, nothing but milky white darkness and shadow is to be seen as your eyes trail over the wood line. That was certainly very close, what the hell even made that stick break? Was it a deer, or maybe a coyote? 
Your nerves prick when Roach suddenly takes a wary step backwards, her leather reigns pulling to their limit as she takes another step away from you. Thinking quick, you rush to her side, pulling out Geralt’s other silver sword just incase some weird shit is about to go down.
Grasping the blade in your tight grip, you take cautious steps towards the heavy pines that seems to be the place where the stick snapped. You swallow nervously, your heart just about beating out of your chest as you travel closer and closer to the green bristles. 
Y/N what are you doing? Have you learned nothing from what those weird dreams were telling you?
Blinking hard, you stop, turning an apprehensive glance over to your peacefully sleeping Witcher, why wake him this could be a simple deer? Letting out another shaky breath you turn towards the thick pine trees, squinting your eyes as you try and do your absolute best to locate the intruder. Walking past a small evergreen, your heart feels like it’s about to explode when suddenly you hear a gentle rustle of leaves directly in front of you.
Turn back idiot.
Stopping dead in your tracks, you blink again, attempting to focus enough that maybe you’ll be able to see what’s making that noise. But as you’re leaning in to the pines, does your eyes finally catch the sight of a large black figure standing on the other side of the tree. Without warning the shadow leaps, you don’t even have a chance to scream before the flash of pearly white fangs reveals itself to you in a raging blur. 
The beast shoves you back into the clearing, emitting a blood curdling howl of agony as it steps into the moonlight, your eyes widen in fear at the chilling sight of a huge dark-grey werewolf. It’s inhuman eyes that of glowing topaz, it’s fangs bare and mouth dripping with saliva. Your chest rises and falls with heavy terrified breaths as the wolfman stands on two legs, its strong hand going to its stomach where a thick human like paw pulls out your silver blade.
Steaming red hot blood pours to the frost covered earth as the beast drops the shinning silver to the ground, its wound showing in the bright moonlight as it eyes you down like you’re nothing more then a lost sheep. You shiver at the sight, desperately scooting yourself backwards towards the fire as the werewolf growls a low but haunting note, falling onto all fours as it takes a step closer.
A frightful tear falls down the side of your cheek, you see nothing but hunger and pain in this creatures eyes, he’s slowly dying, but you know he will kill you before his last breath is had.
The wolfman growls again, readying a last charge when all of a sudden a shimmering silver sword is thrust deeply into the beasts throat, the source of its demise steps in between you and the wounded bastard.
Your eyes are wide as you watch the werewolf sink to the earth, gargling and choking on it’s own blood as it dies, twitching here and there before finally it goes still as stone. Not a sound emitting from it’s vessel but the heavy breaths of yourself and Geralt, who’s walked over to the beast now. Crouching down to observe it better, he hums, pulling the blood covered sword out of the monsters throat with a gross meaty sound.
You let out a shaky breath, slowly pulling yourself to your feet as Geralt drags his bloody silver over the beasts fur to clean the wet red from the blade. You swallow thickly, eyes watery from the whole frightening ordeal, “So not a deer as I had hoped.” You mutter, a nervous chuckle leaving your lips causing you to gasp in pain at something on your ribs. 
Geralt pierces his sword into the soft dirt, his face a mask of frustrated anger as he turns to you, “Y/N what where you thinking? You could have been killed, you didn’t know what was lurking in the dark, why wouldn’t you have just stayed by the fire?” He grumbles as you avoid his troubled gaze.
Another tear slips down your cheek causing his face to immediately soften, “I don’t know?” You whisper sadly, “I...I shouldn’t have thought to walk in the dark alone like that, it was foolish of me Geralt, truly...I’ll think better of it next time I promi- agh ugh...”A sharp jolting pain rips through your body right down the side of your right ribcage, feeling like someone has just burned you with a cast iron. 
More whimpers slip from your tongue at the searing violent stinging of your flesh causing you to press your hands against the area, your face contorting into one of agony while Geralt’s expression reveals deep concern. Not understanding in the slightest why you feel such misery all of a sudden, your eyes slip down to the dreaded area where you take notice of how your dark coat appears to be torn in jagged slashes where the pain is coming from.
Your brows furrow as you slowly remove your tied overcoat, Geralt’s big golden irises studying your every move for what the problem may be. Your hands make quick work of the lacing, now your arms move as you remove the jacket, you gasp in fear once it falls to the ground.
“Y/N.” Whispers Geralt in the softest of voices as a lone tear slides down your cheek.
Slowly you raise your weary head to meet is saddened gaze, “I’ve been bitten.” You rasp, lifting your bloody hand up into the silky moonlight, the burning ache of your wound making itself more present then ever.
Suddenly a surging spike of white hot torment angrily tears up into your side once more, though this time it’s too overwhelmingly excruciating that you fall to your knees, desperately grasping your wounded side when Geralt takes quick steps forward. Pulling you into his strong arms before you’re able to even hit the cold earth completely, his eyes never leaving your distressed face.
“Y/N look at me love, I’m right here...” He speaks gently while holding you close, though you can’t look at him, “don’t be afraid I’ve got you.”
More fearful tears fall freely now as you press your face into his shoulder, a numb and dark feeling finding it’s way into your soul while your arms wrap themselves around his waist, “No, not this.” You cry, shaking with fright, “This cannot be, I-I cannot be a wolf beast....I won’t ever harm anyone Geralt I swear to you on my life, I would never! I-I could never, it isn’t in me!” 
“Oh Y/N, my dear Y/N..” His voice surprises you with how uncharacteristically tender it sounds, “Look at me love.” He pleads calmly, pulling you from his shoulder so that you may look into his kind-hearted gaze, “Do you think now, that I would dare lay my blade against your precious skin?” Your lip quivers as your watery eyes slip from his to the werewolf laying dead near the two of you.
“I am one of them now Geralt. How can I live as this now, I am not a monster. I can’t hurt innocent people, I can’t.” You exclaim, your voice breaking as you speak, “All the years we have been together have been the happiest of my entire life, know this Geralt. You bring me so much joy and light that I never imagined I could ever feel, you have given me your heart even when you first claimed you could not love. I will never forget that.” His heart breaks in two at your truthful words of honesty paired with how somber and dismal you appear.
Not being able to stand you looking away from him for much longer, he carefully lifts a hand up to turn your face to his, leaving his palm on your cheek in a comforting manner, “Y/N my love, you will never be a monster in my eyes, not once not ever. I may be a Witcher, but you will not meet an untimely end due to this curse that has made it’s way into your vessel.” His eyes are soft and serene, full of absolute love and adoration for you.
Y/N he will not hurt you, but you cannot hurt others.
You sniffle, your voice thick as you speak, “I will not let others suffer a violent death because of me Geralt, it’s not in my blood.”
“You will not, there is always another way..”
“There is no other way!” You interrupt, sure of yourself that this new affliction will be your inevitable demise, “A werewolf cannot be broken of their curse once it is had, there are no known antidotes!”
“Y/N..”
“This bite cannot be undone Geralt.”
Eyes softening, he pulls you in closer to rest his head against your own, “My dear Y/N, your life means more to me then you know. I will find you the cure, I have seen a vial of it myself long ago when visiting an experienced alchemist who taught me many things about potion making. He will surly know how to rid this she-wolf within you, I am sure of it.”
Lifting your face away from his, you finally show him the tiniest of relieved smiles, your heart bursting with joy at this refreshing news, “You never fail to surprise me, even now. I trust you...I love you Geralt of Rivia with my entire being, every part of me from now until death. I guess this world has yet to bring me down.” 
Studying your newly determined expression, he grins with eyes full of love, “I do not doubt it my dear one.”

You’re going to wish you were dead, instead.
Part 4 of T is for Trauma - The Series
Supercorp, Kara Danvers x Daughter!Reader, Lena Luthor x Daughter!Reader
Word count: 2370.
Warnings: kidnapping. Injuries. Next level angst.
Previously on the series – part 1, part 2, part 3
You open your eyes when someone kicks your stomach twice. You can’t control the vomit that comes right after, when your body finally understands that you’re up.
“Gross! Boss! The child threw up on my feet.” He walks away from you.
You want to appreciate that fact that you just did something to one of them, but everything hurts so much, like your skin is being peeled off of your body, that right now your only wish is that you could just die already so you don’t have to feel this unbearable pain anymore. Never in your worst nightmares, you’ve imagined you could feel so much pain you would wish you were dead instead.
“Stupid shit doesn’t die of over-exposure. It’s been hours! Maybe we should just shoot her, so she can bleed out to death.” One of them says and you pray they’re being serious.
“Please.” You plead. “End this.”
The boss kneels in front of you, with a creepy satisfied smile on his face. He looks behind him, to the other guys, and starts laughing like you just told the funniest joke in the world. His goons start laughing with him.
“I’m not going to end this. I wouldn’t want to stop all this fun you’re having!” He stands up, the same creepy smile still on his lips. “You know, you Kryptonians are funny. You act like Gods deciding everyone’s fate with some kind of morality no one even knows if you actually have. So, you’re ok with putting us through pain, but you can’t take any?”
“They are some weak Gods.” One of his henchmen says, and he looks back like he is telling him to shut up.
“Your world exploded for a reason. No kryptonian was supposed to survive. But then Supergirl and Superman came to Earth. Now, they are here dictating rules, expecting everyone to follow them. Who do they think they are? Those cockroaches.” He spits on the floor next to you, and you feel saliva hitting your face. “They’re not even supposed to exist, let alone procreate.”
“Then what are you waiting for?” You whimper, and he gives his maniac laughter again.
“I’ll do you a solid though, just because you’re just a little kid.” He raises a hand and quickly one of his goons puts a gun in his hand. He points at your leg. “I’ll make a little hole, to accelerate your dying process, ‘kay?” And he shoots your leg.
You scream as loud as you can, with all the strength still left in you. You thought you were already in so much pain because of the kryptonite, that this wouldn’t add up and you wouldn’t feel any more. You were wrong. The pain piled up on top of each other. So right now, the inside of your body is agonizing, your leg is burning and you’re bleeding out. Is this pain going to go on forever? It sure feels like it, because no matter how much you pray for it, you’re still not dead.
No, you’re not dead. You’re just lying there in your own vomit and blood, thinking about how much you want this nightmare to end, one way or another, when you hear gunshots. You close your eyes, thinking they’ve changed their minds and decided to shoot you multiple times to end your pain, but you don’t feel anything.
“Supergirl, I’ve been expecting you.” What? You open your eyes when you hear that. You can’t see her, the boss is in front of you with his body, but you get a glimpse of red and your heart beats faster. “As you can see, I have kryptonite and your daughter. Now, would you-”
“FUCK YOU!” She flies towards him with her closed fist, throwing him to the other side of the room. You can’t see him, but you know there’s no way he can recover fast from that. Kara kneels before you, and rips the chains with her hands, tossing the kryptonite to the other side of the room, like it doesn’t even affect her anymore. And if it does, it’s not as painful as seeing your situation.
You thought that once you were free of kryptonite, the pain would go away. It didn’t. Your body still feels like it is up in flames. Kara touches your face, you whimper. You can’t barely make up her face with your one functioning eye, but you see your pain reflected on her face.
She is still kneeling next to you, when she hears a noise coming from where she threw the guy. She blows her freeze breath, holding him back a little. Kara looks around, like she’s looking for something.
“I’ll be right back, my love. Ok? Momma is here.” She disappears right after, but comes back a few seconds later, hair blowing, and even though you didn’t see a thing, you know she just used her super speed.
“Mommy. I’m dying.” You whisper and Kara holds you up, carrying you in the most protective way she can.
“Shhh. You’re ok. Mommy is here. You’re ok.” Kara looks around again and you see aunt Alex going inside the room with the biggest gun you’ve ever seen. “He’s tied up in the corner.”
“J’onn and I got this. Take her to the DEO and put her under the sun light lamp, I’ll be there in a few.” Alex goes to the other side of the room, but you still can hear her. “Oh, you thought it was funny shooting my niece? I’ll show you funny!”
You don’t hear anything else. Kara is flying with you back to National City, and you look up to her. Hair flying in the wind, tears dropping from her eyes, she can’t take her eyes off you.
“I’m here. I’ve got you. You’re safe, baby.” She gives you the saddest smile you’ve ever seen.
“Mommy, I’m dying.” You repeat very slowly, because you don’t have any strength left to speak, and you know Kara can hear you either way. And you need her to know. She needs to know you’re probably not going to make it.
“No, you’re not. You’re ok. We’re going home, ok? We’re almost there. Mommy is here with you and your mom is waiting for you. You’re ok, baby.” Kara is crying so hard you barely make out what she’s saying.
“I’m sorry for what I said. I love you.”
“I love you, little one. I’m sorry. I love you. I love you. I’m sorry.” She keeps repeating that until you close your eyes. You can finally let go, you said everything. She knows you’re sorry, she knows you love her. So, you stop fighting the inevitable.
You thought you would die. You wished you had died. But you’re still here. You hear voices and you feel hands on your body. Someone’s touching your leg, it hurts like a bitch. Someone is squeezing your hand, it’s reassuring. Someone’s kissing your forehead over and over again, it’s calming.
You keep waking up and blacking out. But you don’t think they know this, because you can’t talk, can’t open your eyes, can’t move your body. All you can do is feel pain.
“Baby, my baby. I know you can do this. You can come back to us, please, please. I love you so much, babygirl. You’re my everything.”
“Mom, why isn’t she up yet? It’s been days! You said she would be awake by now.”
“Jamie, I-I don’t… She will wake up, honey. Just give her time, she needs to rest.”
“No. No, mom. She’s supposed to be up by now! Bring her back! Do something!”
“I’ve done everything I can, Jam. Come on, honey. Let’s go. Come.”
“Alex, there must be something else we can do.”
“Kara, you know how much I want her back too, I just- I’m sorry, it’s out of my hands now.”
“I wish I could switch places with her.”
“I know, Kar. I know. Go home, you’ve been in here for days. Go see Lena. Go be with your wife.”
You keep wishing you were dead. But you don’t die, and you also don’t come back to life. You’re half alive, and that’s not enough for anyone.
“Hey, little one.” You hear softly, and your heart beats fast. For the first time you feel you have enough strength to do something. You need to let her know you’re still alive. “I brought donuts, and your homework again.”
You try to ask for food, because you’re starving, but you can’t talk.
“I’ve been doing your homework for the past two weeks, and I have to say, I don’t know how you do this. It’s so much stuff, and you still find time to work on your inventions, and go to trainings…”
Yep, your life’s not as easy as it seems.
“Oooh, want to have a laugh? Your teacher sent me your physics homework yesterday and I obviously didn’t know anything, so I asked your mom for help and guess what? Apparently, Lena doesn’t know everything. It took her ten minutes to solve a problem. It was freaking hilarious.”
It sounds hilarious. You wish you were there.
“Hey. Was that a little laugh?” Kara asks and you try to smile again so she can see it. “I’ll tell Lena you laughed at her. Wait, no. I can’t do that, she’ll have hope.” She breathes heavily and your heart shrinks. “Shoot, I’m crying on your homework again. Your teacher will start wondering.”
You want to wake up so badly. You don’t know why your body doesn’t obey you. You’ve been in this bed under the sun for two weeks apparently. Is your body ever going to respond?
“Hold me.” You beg, trying to make your voice come out. It feels like you’re stuck in those nightmares where you feel like you’re screaming, but no one around hears anything. “Please.”
“Alex said we can take you home, with the lights and all. I’m scared, because I know that here, you’re being watched by doctors, but-” You feel her hand stroking your face gently. “I want you to be comfortable, and I want to lay in bed with you all day. So, should I? Should I take you home?”
YES. Please. Do it. Please. All you want is to go home.
“Yeah. I know. We shouldn’t move you too much. We don’t know what’s going on inside you, right? Besides-” You feel Kara’s warmth next to you. “I can lay in here with you, even though Alex tells me not to. We don’t have to tell her, right?” You feel Kara’s arms around and your eyes water immediately. “Baby, are you crying? Did I- Did I hurt you?” She moves away. “ALEX! ALEX! SHE’S CRYING. DO SOMETHING.”
There’s a weird taste on your mouth. Metallic and bitter. You need to get out of this bed, you need to go back to your life. And you feel it has to be now, or it will be never.
You open your eyes, slowly. It’s hard, it’s like they were glued together. It’s all blurry and undefined. You just see bright yellow, but it’s the first time you’re seeing some color in a while so you can’t complain about it.
“Baby! Kara, Alex! She’s awake!” You hear Lena’s voice and you see black and white mixed with the yellow. It’s probably her hair and face, but you can’t know for sure. There are no shapes, just colors. “Baby, baby, it’s ok. Mom is here.” Lena kisses your face and you feel hands on your body. There’s a very strong hand holding yours, and you know it’s Kara, because she is holding so hard it hurts. And you feel Alex’s hands touching your pulsing points.
“Hey, little one. Can you say something?” Kara asks and you open your mouth.
“My bones.” You whisper so slowly it’s pretty much inaudible; you’re sure only Kara can hear you, and only because of her super hearing.
“Oh, oh, sorry.” She stops squeezing your hand and kisses it, gently. “I forgot about the loss of powers.”
Wait, what?
“Ok, you two move away, please.” Now you see red, mixed with the yellow. “Hey kiddo, this is aunt Alex. Listen I have to do a few tests with you, ok? If you can hear me perfectly, blink once.” You blink once. “Perfect. You’re doing really well. Now, if you can see me perfectly, blink once.” You don’t blink. “Oh, ok. Is it blurry?” You blink once. “Ok, don’t worry, it will go back to normal with time. Now, I want you to move your left leg, just a little. Can you do that for me?” You do it.
She then makes you move every part of your body, and slowly but surely you do all that she asks. You hear Kara and Lena’s celebrations next to you and you smile proud of yourself.
“Hey kiddo, that was perfect! Next time you wake up, you will feel a lot better. I promise you.” You feel a squeeze in your hand, and you give her a little smile. “I don’t want you to get tired, so you can go back to sleep now, and we’ll work more later ok?”
“Wait.” You whisper and she puts her ear close to your mouth so she can hear you. “Lena.”
“She wants you.”
Lena takes Alex’ spot, holding your hand and putting her ear close to your face so she can hear you better.
“I’m sorry.”
“No, no baby, you don’t have anything to feel sorry for. Everything is alright. Listen.” You feel Lena wiping the tears from your cheeks. “You were right. I’m sorry I made you feel like you’re not the most important thing in the world for me, because you are. You are. Stop-stop worrying about it. Just use everything you have to recover, ok?” You nod weakly. “I love you.”
“We love you.” You hear Kara’s voice and you breathe deep.
“Mommy.” Your voice comes out a little stronger, but it is still just a whisper.
“Mommy is here, little one. I’ve got you. We’ve got you.” Kara says and you close your eyes again. Your body might still ache, but your heart doesn’t ache anymore.

“A Night Together”
(Chilumi)
Summary: Childe and Lumine get caught in a rainstorm and decide to stay at Wangshu Inn for the night and share a room. A room... with one bed.
i posted the AO3 link to this a few days ago but the post seemed to have been shadowbanned (thanks tumblr :’D). so here you go! first chilumi fic :3
☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆彡☆
“The sky’s looking pretty dark. Are you sure it isn’t supposed to rain, girlie?”
Lumine turned to see the Harbinger behind her, stopping to look up at the sky. Childe wasn’t wrong. The once clear skies of Liyue were swirling with dark grey clouds, ominous and forewarning. “Paimon told me not to worry about the weather before I went out for commissions. Sure, it was just her gut feeling, but I believe her judgement, you know?”
“Right. Speaking of which, where is your little friend? Does she really not trust me that much still to where she won’t even come along?” Lumine could tell by Childe’s ever-present smirk that he wasn’t really hurt by the idea of her fairy companion not trusting him.
In return, she threw a smirk back at him. “Well, you were the one that almost killed me back at the Golden House.” Childe’s smirk fell, instead averting his gaze over to a sprig of mint growing along the trail. He looks... upset, Lumine thought. “But no, Paimon’s off taste-testing some of Xiangling’s new dishes back in Liyue Harbor. You know how she gets when she hears about food.”
Lumine took out her adventure handbook and flipped to her commissions section. Most of the pages were blank, the others filled front and back with past commissions scribbled down and checked off. “It looks like... we’re helping Hui’an repair the stairs at Wangshu Inn.”
“So no fighting? That’s boring.”
“I’ll have to agree with you on that one.” Lumine closed her handbook and placed it in her bag, then began to lead the way towards Wangshu Inn. No one said a word, the awkward silence being filled in by the sound of footsteps and the swift noise of Childe twirling a hydro dagger between his fingers. Lumine found herself watching him in the corner of her eye. It looked sharp, deadly and dangerous - just like him. It made her think of Childe, even more than she already did. Was Paimon right? Was he really able to be trusted after everything?
And just why was he helping her out of the blue? Didn’t he have Fatui work to deal with? Why did he always find a way to be in her presence? Why did she actually like having him around?
Just as Lumine was going to ask Childe about why he was helping her, a crash of thunder sounded in the distance. A storm’s coming.
“I told you girlie, it’s gonna rain. You should listen to a Hydro user when it comes to storms.”
“Hey! I don’t have to listen to anyone I don’t want to, thank you very-“ Before Lumine could finish her sentence, it began to downpour. She froze still, the cold, hard pattering of rain against her skin surprising her so suddenly.
Childe quickly began unpinning the brooch that held his scarf in place and draped the red fabric over her head and shoulders. “I know it’s not much, I just don’t want you to get sick.” The gesture made Lumine’s face heat up. “Let’s get moving, Wangshu Inn isn’t far from here.”
The two began to run down the muddy trail until the reached the staircase leading to Wangshu Inn. The usual flow of guests had retreated inside as the rain continued to beat down onto the earth. By the time Childe and Lumine reached the lobby’s entryway they were soaked, their hair clinging to their faces.
Lumine spotted Hui’an in the distance and began making her way towards him as quick as possible. Childe looked at her at a loss for words. Is she seriously going to do a commission in this weather?, he wondered to himself. He began to feel amusement towards her determination.
“Hui’an! I’m here to help with the broken staircase. What can I get started on?”
Hui’an turned towards the disheveled young woman. “I’m sorry, traveler, but with the way this storm is coming down I decided to postpone repairs for another day. The rain doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon, and probably won’t until tomorrow morning. I suggest you spend a night here in one of the rooms to ensure you’re safe and healthy.”
“But I have a few more commissions-”
“I think you’ve done enough for Liyue to where one night off wouldn’t hurt your reputation. You can talk to Verr over at the reception desk to see if rooms are available.”
Lumine sighed in defeat, nodded her head and walked over to Childe. He perked up when he saw her, a smile forming quickly on his lips.
“Not able to finish your little commissions due to the rain? Such a shame, I was really looking forward to taking care of those Treasure Hunters.”
“Sorry you couldn’t feel the excitement you were looking for.”
“It’s no problem, really. Besides, I have you here, don’t I? I’m fine with anything when I’m with you, pretty girl.” Lumine noticed that Childe’s face was much closer to hers than before. Her cheeks grew pink at their closeness and she started looking away.
“I… We should really talk to Verr over at the reception desk and look for rooms to stay in.”
“You know, we could both save a lot of mora if we just shared a room.”
“And worry about you waking me up in the middle of the night to go fight to the death in the rain? No thank you.”
Childe situated his hands on his hips. “Fine. If you have the mora for your own room, We can part ways and I’ll see you in the morning.”
Lumine’s eyes widened. She’d been running out of mora as of recent thanks to weapon enhancements and Paimon’s insatiable appetite. Slowly, she reached for her coin pouch and opened it up. There were a few coins in the pouch, but not enough to cover a nice room for the night.
The young man in front of Lumine had to stifle a laugh. “Just as I thought. Did Paimon end up eating your mora now, too?”
“She might as well have,” Lumine said with an embarrassed laughter. “Fine, then. Let’s go find a room.” Childe was beaming and took her hand in his, leading them over to the reception desk. Lumine swore her face was as red as Childe’s scarf that was still draped around her.
Verr Goldet looked up at the two from the papers scattered across her desk. “Welcome to Wangshu Inn. How may I help you?”
“We’re looking for a room to stay in for the night.” Lumine looked over her shoulder and saw Childe preoccupied with petting the cat that laid on the end of the desk. She couldn’t help but smile at the sight, but eventually she lightly tugged on his sleeve to have him pay attention.
“Yes, a room… let me check to see what we have available,” Verr said as she dragged her finger across a list of rooms and its occupants. Her finger stopped at one empty slot. “You’re just in luck, we have one more room available.”
Childe and Lumine looked at each other and nodded. “We’ll take it.”
“Okay, a single-bed room would be…”
What?
“A single-bed room?” Lumine felt like she was going to explode in a matter of seconds.
“The only room we have available is on the smaller side and has just one bed. I assumed it wouldn’t be such an issue for a young couple such as yourself.”
WHAT?
“I— we’re not—”
Childe cut her off by handing Verr a good sized pouch of mora. “That’s completely fine with us, isn’t it honey?” Lumine was frozen still. “Here’s everything to cover the cost, you can keep the rest. Good night!” The situation ended faster than Lumine could keep up with. Her mind was spinning. Her and Childe together? As a couple? Sure, she’d admit that the idea has popped up in her dreams one too many times, but that’s all it could ever be. Just a hopeless, made up dream.
Lumine felt Childe once again taking her hand and leading the way up to their room. Archons, that’s probably why she believed we were together, she thought. She looked down at their hands. She never paid attention to it until now, but his gloves were off after being soaked in the rain. Lumine was surprised at how soft his hand felt around hers, with the exception of a small scar or two. She began laughing at herself in her head. Something as minuscule as how well their hands felt together set her heart aflame. But it made her wonder. Why would Childe go along with the idea that they’re together?
By the time Lumine snapped out of her thoughts, they had reached the door to their room. Childe fiddled with the key for a second before the door opened. Verr was right about the room being small, but nonetheless it was still nicely furnished and had anything they needed for a quick stay. A functional bathroom, a window showcasing Wangshu’s beautiful view of the land, and of course… the single bed. It was definitely big enough for two people, with a good amount of soft pillows and a plush comforter for warmth.
Lumine’s chest began to gain that warm, fluttery feeling again. She eyed the chair in the corner of the room. “I can sleep in that chair for the night.”
“What? No, absolutely not. There’s enough room for the both of us on that bed.” Childe locked the door behind them and walked over to the window to look out at the rain. “If you don’t get warmed up you could get sick from being in that weather for as long as we were.”
“I know but… us together is just—”
“Lumine. It’s just a bed, and we’re just sleeping. It’s not like we’re gonna be making out all night.” The serious face Childe wore disappeared. Lumine could practically see the gears turning in his head as a smirk formed. “Unless that’s what you want.”
Lumine choked on her spit. She’ll also admit that with the dreams about them being a couple, that has popped into her mind once or twice. “… No.”
“You hesistated~”
“I said no!”
Childe laughed, raising his hands up in surrender. “Alright, girlie, alright, I’ll stop. But I’m serious about the first part. Just stay here with me and if it makes you so embarrassed, we won’t talk about it ever again after tonight.” Lumine picked up on a tinge of disappointment in his voice as he continued to speak. Why was this man confusing her so much?
“Okay.”
Childe looked her up and down. “Do you have a change of clothes? You’re still soaked.”
“I… don’t. I usually just camp outside, I pack light.”
“I think that’s a little less than packing light. You literally have nothing on you besides a sword and an Adventurer’s Handbook. Here, hold on.” He began unbuttoning his jacket, slipping it off with ease. “As a Hydro user myself, I made sure my clothes have good water resistance. This should be dry,” motioning towards the deep red undershirt he wore.
Childe’s shirt became unbuttoned and he took it off, handing it to her. Oh gods. “It might be a bit big on you, but it’ll be a lot more comfortable than a soaking wet traveling outfit.” Lumine tries so hard to keep looking into his eyes and not look down at his bare skin, littered with battle scars and toned well…
He’s trying to hold back a laugh. Does he find it funny that he’s going to be the death of me?, Lumine thought. Without a word, she took his shirt and made her way to the bathroom.
The shirt was indeed way too big for Lumine. The small slit in the bottom that usually showed off Childe’s Vision had rested at the middle of her thigh. She kept her own undershirt and shorts on; even when buttoning up there was too much visible for her comfort. Lumine looked into a mirror. She was drowning in the fabric, but it felt perfect. It smelt good, too — like clean, fresh water, warm spices and a hint of cologne.
When Lumine walked out to their room, she noticed Childe was already sitting up under the covers on his side. He looked up at her, mouth slightly open.
“What?”
He shook himself out of a daze. “Nothing. That color red just looks well on you, that’s all.” He smiled and patted the spot next to him. Hesitantly, Lumine pulled the covers over her, gently laying down on her side. Soon enough, Childe laid down on his side, propping his head up in the palm of his hand. “See? Isn’t this much warmer than sleeping in a chair?”
Lumine nodded. “Thanks for the shirt.”
“It’s all good. What friend would I be if I didn’t make sure you felt okay?”
Friend. That word made Lumine tense up a little, her mind going back to the thousands of questions she wanted to ask Childe earlier. “Can I ask you something?”
“Anything you’d like to, Lumine.” The way her name sounded softly in his voice sent shivers down her spine. He seemed to like the way it sounded, too, as a genuine smile formed quickly after he was done talking.
“Why have you been so nice to me? How is it that you’ve somehow found your way into everything I do?”
Childe paused for a good second, looking up to the ceiling as he thought to himself. “Well for starters, I want to repay you as much as I can for helping me with Teucer a few months ago. I know he can be a handful, as most kids can be, but he loved spending time with you back in Liyue Harbor. He still asks about if you’re doing well when Tonia and him write letters to me.” He smiled. “Thanks to you going along with my act, he still looks up to me. And that’s something I hope he’s able to do for many more years.”
He looked like he wanted to say more, but struggled within himself. Lumine gave him another question that she’d been struggling to ask herself. “Why did you pretend that we’re a couple tonight?”
Childe laughed lightly. “There wasn’t much to it, really, I just enjoy going along with someone’s ideas. There’s no harm into playing along, I’m sure you know that.” He paused for a moment again, expressing an emotion so foreign for the young man that it took a while for Lumine to realize it was nervousness. “There’s… also the fact that I feel… drawn to you.”
The fluttering came back into Lumine’s chest. “Whenever I hear you’re around, I can’t stop myself from wanting to find you. I find myself wanting to talk to you constantly, Archons, even just seeing you is enough sometimes. Ever since our fight at the Golden House, I’ve felt different. No one’s ever beaten me the way that you did, Lumi. I know I already said I’m not the same man as I used to be, but I really meant it. You’re really one of a kind.” Their gazes locked with each other’s, deep oceans meeting Cor Lapis. Lumine swore she saw a sparkle return to Childe’s eyes.
The Harbinger laughed at himself. “Look at what you’ve done to me; you turned one of the most dangerous people in Teyvat into a complete sap.” He laid down on his back, staring at the ceiling once more. “It’s not like anything could work between us. You’re a hero in the people’s eyes. I have far too much blood on my hands to clean off. I care about you yet I’ve been the reason you’ve almost died.” His words are turning into mumbles as he continued to speak.
Is he…? As if on cue, a clap of thunder boomed outside as Lumine realized how he felt.
Lumine wasn’t sure how it washed over her but she found herself pulling Childe up into a tight hug. His arms were frozen in mid-air around her out of shock, but soon after they found his way around her. Lumine’s own hands rested on his back and tangled in his hair, which Childe seemed to be melting into.
“You care about me?”
“Lumi, I— It would never work—”
She pulled back slightly to look him in the eye. For once in the short time that Lumine knew him, he didn’t look confident at all.
“Forget how people view the both of us. Forget the Fatui, our titles, forget everything. You care about me and I… I do too.”
A radiant smile appeared on Childe’s face. “Well, would you look at that. If you kept saying anything else, I may have thought you’ve completely fallen in love with me.”
A blush scattered across Lumine’s face. “I think you’ve said enough to where I can make my own assumptions on how you feel.”
“Is that so?” Childe’s grip on Lumine’s waist tightened slightly as he shimmied down onto his back, Lumine following suit. He held her close to his chest as she snuggled in. “You’re really something else.”
Lumine could barely register the feather-light kiss he placed on the top of her head as they fell asleep to the sound of the pouring rain.

My MASTERLIST
----------------------------
“Hello hello and welcome back!” you told the camera propped up on one of your kitchen counters. The shot showing your tired face and loose pyjamas. A yawn escaped your slightly chapped lips as you tried to stretch the sleep away. Your eyes were heavy, your hair standing up in every possible direction, your body not fully awake yet.
“A lot of people asked for a little day to day vlog with the Gillespies,” you muttered as you made yourself a cup of coffee, the sparkling ring on your left ring finger very prominent in the shot.
“So we try to deliver! I just woke up a couple of minutes ago so excuse the light grogginess and don't know where my fiance is. Seems like you guys have to put up with only me for a bit.” you chuckled and poured milk into the steaming hot beverage.
“Sadly, we really don't have a lot to do today, well not much is planned…” you referred to the normal chaos a day with Charlie entailed. “We just need to run some errands, but I have a gut feeling that today will be a good one.”
You ended the clip and moved into your living room to turn up the radio. Ever since you were little, there was always some sort of music softly playing and therefore you hated a quiet house. It wasn't like you paid attention to the songs dancing through the air but the constant rumbling of background noise calms you down.
A little yellow piece of paper on the coffee table catches your eye. With furrowed eyebrows, you made your way over. Your eyes grew as you recognized Charlie's messy handwriting. Once again, you started a clip on your camera.
“I just found a secret message from Charlie on our coffee table.” you cleared your throat and started reading the note dramatically “‘Good morning Toots! I’m on a run and didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful. I'll bring coffee from Allie’s. I love you, C Swizzle’” you grinned at the note, your heart beating faster with the love you have for him. “Hereby I declare the mystery where C Swizzle aka Char is as solved! I’m so hyped for the coffee. Allie’s is our favourite place in the whole city! Seriously if you're close by go and try it. So worth it. Now, until he’s back I’m gonna answer some emails and do our dishes from yesterday evening. You’re welcome to join me while I jam out to music.”
You propped the camera up on a shelf, filming yourself working for a bit. Then you went to the kitchen and turned up the music blaring out of the speakers you set up mere moments before. “Whenever I walk in the room. All the focus on me. The way I talk, the way I move. They all want on my team. Not tryin' to brag, brag, but I'm flawless.” screaming on the top of your lungs, you swayed your hips while the water from your tap filled the sink, the soap starting to bubble up.
“I'm taking over your playlist. Ain't perfect, but I can't miss, yeah. The party don't start 'til I walk in. I'm stealing all the attention. Don't get me started on mentions, yeah” A poor spoon had to be a placeholder microphone as you jumped through the small kitchen. Genuinely engulfed in the music, you didn't even hear the front door open and close. You didn't hear the footsteps walking towards you or the light chuckle that escaped the person's lips.
Sweaty arms wrapped themselves around your waist, making you scream and drop the cup you’ve been washing. The ceramic dish exploded on the floor, covering it in tiny splinters and shards. Charlie laughed at your reaction and pressed a loving kiss to your shoulder. “Sorry, Toots didn't want to scare you. I thought you heard me come in. Good morning by the way.” At the sound of his voice, you immediately relaxed. You weren't being murdered by an intruder. Turning around in his arms, you faced your boyfriend, your back pressed against the sink.
“I thought this was my last minute on earth. You really want to kill me before you even have the chance to marry me.” you chuckled and kissed his nose. “Where would be the fun in that? I do want to inherit some of your stuff.”
You lightly shoved him away but his arms stayed looking around your smaller frame. Looking down at the cup you frowned. “That was my favourite.”
“I'll get you another one. One that's even better than this one. Again I’m sorry.”
“I'll remember that. How was the run?” absentmindedly your hand brushed away some stray hairs that flew into Charlie's face. “Good.” he murmured “I don't like running with a mask on but it was all worth it because…” he turned around and got a little bag from the counter behind him. “I got us some coffee and that cream bagel you like so much.” you beamed up at him.
“Really?”
The next time you vlogged was at the grocery store several hours later. Charlie was pushing the shopping cart, while still holding your hand as you tried to deceiver your own grocery list. The camera sat comfortably at the front of the cart, framing you perfectly.
“Why did you think it was funny to write most of this in french?” you asked the boy next to you. He gave your hand a squeeze “Because you sometimes write stuff in german as well. It's only fair.”
You only rolled your eyes at that. “Yeah because I forgot the English word.” you huffed “Okay so we need d'oeufs. Eggs? And some milk. Right?”
“Mais oui mademoiselle.” He said amused.
“If you continue I will start to speak german,” you warned your boyfriend and you could bet that he was smiling under that mask.
“Threatening me in the grocery store? That's mean but the game is on honey.”
“You're gonna lose my dear. I had some french at school.” you let go of his hand and crossed your arms, raising one of your eyebrows at him while both of you grabbed some items you needed.
It wasn't the first time that the two of you suddenly challenged each other. One time, a couple of months ago, Charlie just randomly started to run and yelled back at you “Whoever is the last at the restaurant has to pay!” and with these words, he triggered your ambition. You struggled to get rid of your heels, hoping for the majority of the way as the two of you raced, reaching the restaurant sweaty and out of breath, earning some stares from other couples. Or another time where you suddenly claimed that you would be able to eat more pizza than him. A bet that you lost terribly.
Situations like this were normal for you, both really competitive and hardheaded. It was one of the things that spiced up daily life.
He raised both of his eyebrows, sparking a fire behind his eyes. “Essaie-moi, baby (Try me, baby)”
“In Ordnung, ab jetzt werde ich nur noch deutsch mit dir sprechen. (Alright, from now on I will only talk in german to you)”
Let’s just say the grocery shopping was a huge mess and took twice as long. You told Charlie to go and get the toothpaste and he came back with some pears which earned a laugh from you. Charlie tried to explain to you what he wanted to cook for you tomorrow evening, ingredients and everything but you only stared at him confused, occasionally nodding your head so he knew you were still listening. The dinner was gonna be a full surprise.
The two of you kept the act up all the way back to your apartment. You unpacked the food and had a camera recording somewhere. For the second time that day, arms wrapped around your waist, his head nuzzled in the crook of the neck.
“Do you have anything else planned for today?” he mumbled into your skin, his hot breath on your skin giving you goosebumps. A smile spread over your face. Wiggling out of his grip you sat on the tabletop and Charlie immediately stood between your legs, his arms around your neck. He leaned in to kiss you but before his lips touched yours you whispered “I won.”
His eyes grew wide and he pulled away slightly. He huffed and shook his head “Man I totally forgot about that. What is your prize, my lady?”
You traced his jaw with your index finger whilst your eyes never left his. “I demand… a thousand kisses!”
“A thousand?!” he exclaimed “My lady that's too many. You're going to starve the whole town.”
“Well then the town shouldn't have lost.” you teased back.
A smile was prominent on his face as he leaned in closer again “I must say you're a demanding ruler. But it seems like I must comply…”
The two of you stayed in bed for the rest of the day, only moving over to the couch to zap through Netflix. Naturally one of you already placed the camera on the shelf next to you.
Charlie tapped you on the shoulder, looking up from his spot half between your legs and on top of you.
“Yes, bubbs?”
“Play with my hair please.” he nearly whispered and made himself comfortable once again. Tiny hands finding their place in his dark hair.
At first, it was really weird to vlog all the time especially on a day where you and Charlie were just fooling around and being lovey-dovey. Luckily, you could still decide how much you wanted to cut out for the final video.

the art of mending a broken heart
Pairing: Henry Cavill (Enola Holmes era) x Reader
Summary: After a long day on set, you explode at Henry, with unintended consequences.
Warnings: angst, fluff, first kiss, hints of beginning of ddlg relationship, self care
the art of mending a broken heart
it had been a long 19 hours. 19 hours of sitting in your stuffy and uncomfortable Victorian era clothes, filming Enola Holmes. You had been here since 5 am, and it was nearing midnight. You hadn't eaten since 1, maybe 2? The exact time didn't matter.
Your back, legs, ankles, and feet hurt, you felt an exhaustion headache coming on, and were insanely thirsty. You were all around done.
Thankfully, you were on your last scene of the day. It was a kissing scene with Henry, and the director said it wouldn't take longer than 30 minutes to film.
But, when you arrived to set, you knew that wouldn't be the case. 
Henry had been there just as long as you had, but he was extremely giggly and happy due to being so tired, instead of angry and emotional. You had begun to avoid him around 5 pm, when he couldn't stop poking you and laughing loudly while you were trying to go over lines.
The second he saw you, he ran over to you, and hugged you. 
“I missed you,” He whined.
“Well, if you hadn't annoyed me to the ends of the earth I wouldn't have avoided you,” You said. He chuckled, and pulled away when the director called the two of you over.
The scene was blocked quickly, and you moved on to filming.
There was no dialogue, and all Henry had to do was pull you to him, and kiss you. That’s all.
But of course, he was absolutely delirious, so nothing went right. 
Either he would pull you so hard that you almost knocked him over, or you’d be halfway through filming the kiss, and he’d burst out laughing, which caused everyone else to laugh.
You, however, weren't laughing. You managed to hold it together, until the 17th take.
He pulled his lips off of yours, giggling and you lost your mind.
“WOULD YOU FUCKING STOP!” You screamed.
He looked at you with an unreadable expression on his face.
The director, noticing how you were feeling, called action once more, and this time it went smoothly.
He pulled you to him correctly, and didn't laugh when he kissed you.
The director yelled cut, and said that you two were done for the day. You immediately stormed away from Henry, attempting to hold yourself together. 
As soon as the door to your trailer closed, you were sobbing and pulling off your costume. 
You had just dressed into your pyjamas, your grey sweatpants and a yellow sweatshirt, when Henry came storming into your trailer, still dressed as Sherlock. 
He said nothing, but pulled you to him, and pressed a crushing kiss to your lips. You didn't have time to kiss back, because it ended as soon as it started. 
Now, it was his turn to yell at you.
“DON’T BE SUCH A FUCKING BRAT!” He screamed, and he stormed out.
Immediately, you started sobbing once more. You grabbed your purse, and headed out.
You never stopped crying. You cried the whole way home, when you were getting your water bottle ready for the night, and even when you were laying in bed.
You tried calling your mom, but she just said that you were exhausted and needed sleep. You wanted to text Henry, but wanted to give him time to cool down.
He wasn’t faring much better. He had managed to get him and Kal ready for bed before he broke down. He flopped down on the bed, and motioned for Kal to jump up beside him. Kal usually slept on his own bed, which was actually a toddler race car bed, but Henry needed his comfort.
Kal snuggled himself next to Henry, his head resting on his chest. 
Henry didn’t know why you acted like that, and wondered if he should check on you. He heard you start to sob the second he walked out of your trailer and regretted yelling at you like that. 
He picked up his phone and called you, but you didn't pick up. 
“Hey, Y/N,” He said when the voicemail beeped. “I just wanted to say that I’m sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you like that. God, I feel horrible and I know you're upset and I hate that it’s because of me. I’m sorry for forcing myself on you like that, I shouldn't have. Baby, please call me back,” He said, accidentally calling you baby.
He hung up, and drifted off to sleep wishing he was holding you in his arms instead of Kal, as much as he loved him.
You woke up the next morning and listened to his voicemail. Your stomach fluttered when he called you baby, and as much as you wanted to call him back, you were still hurt from the way he yelled at you.
He had never yelled at you before. You had known each other almost 8 months at this point, and he had never even gotten annoyed at you. 
You opted not to call hum back, and spent the rest of the day in bed, occasionally breaking down in tears when you saw something that reminded you of Henry.
You were thankful, now more than ever, that filming was taking a two week break. You didn't have to worry about facing Henry for two whole weeks, and you were very happy about that. 
The first week of the break was rough. Whenever you became bored, you found yourself reaching for your phone to call him, but always caught yourself in time.
Henry however, didn't stop texting and calling. He wanted to make sure you were okay, and the more you didn't respond, the more worried he became. 
It was Friday night, and he had had enough. Thankfully, one of his brothers were in town, and offered to watch Kal so he could sort things out with you.
He texted you to let you know he was on his way, and wasn't surprised you didn't answer. 
The second his car was turned off, he was running towards your apartment block. 
He pounded on the door, and became anxious when you didn't answer. He tried calling you, no answer. He tried texting you, FaceTiming you, hatred everything. You didn't answer.
He was running his hands through his hair, and wondering what to do when he remembered you had a spare key under the rug. He grabbed it, and let himself in.
Your apartment was oddly quiet. Usually you had YouTube or Netflix playing, since you hated silence.
He took his shoes off, and nervously made his way to your bedroom, scared of what he would find.
He opened your door gently, and saw you in a lump under your covers, asleep. 
He approached you, and lifted the covers off of your face. His heart broke. 
It was painfully obvious you hadn't stopped crying since he yelled at you. Your eyes were so swollen, he was amazed you were able to even see. Your cheeks were also red and swollen from you wiping them constantly. Your lips looked dry and cracked as well.
He ran his hand through your hair, in an attempt to wake you up so he could apologize. Your eyes opened, and immediately welled up with tears when you noticed him.
“H-Henr-” Was all you managed out before he cut you off.
“Oh, baby, I’m so sorry,” He said, pulling you out of the bed and onto the floor. You landed in between his legs and his arms wrapped around you, squeezing you to his chest. His hand ran up and down your back, and into your hair in an attempt to soothe you. “I am so sorry I yelled at you like that. I didn't mean it, angel,” He whispered, unable to keep his tear at bay when he heard you grip his shirt and begin to sob again.
He unraveled himself from you, and pulled you to stand with him. 
“Honey, have you left your bed at all this week?” He asked softly, not wanting to  upset you further.
You shook your head. “Only to go to the bathroom and eat a little.” 
He smiled and lifted you up, carrying you to the bathroom.
“Let’s get you into a nice bubble bath, and some food into you okay?” He said, as he sat you on the counter.
You nodded, watching him move around the bathroom.
He filled up the bathtub, and adding your favourite lavender bubble bath. Once it was full he turned to you.
“Okay, love. Get undressed, and call for me once you're in okay? I’ll take care of everything.” He said, giving you a smile before he pulled you into a comforting hug.
You nodded, and he left the room.
You got yourself into the warm and inviting bath, and called out for him once your body was hidden by the bubbles.
He walked back in and sat next to you. 
“Sit up, sweetie, so I can wash your hair,” he whispered, reaching behind you to grab your shampoo. You sat up, and crossed your arms in front of you, and pulling your knees to your chest. You barely had any energy, and just wanted to sleep, but you knew Henry would rest until you were taken care of.
Henry gently found a bucket you had for when your little siblings where visiting, and began to wet your hair.
As he massaged your shampoo into your scalp, your eyes drifted shut.
“Baby, you need to stay awake.” 
You shook your head in defiance. “Too tired.” You breathed out.
“I know, sweet girl, but I’m almost done okay?” He said. You managed to nod.
He finished up quick, and pulled the plug on the tub before telling you he’d go and get you your clothes for you. He placed a fluffy towel and your robe beside you before he left.
Once you were all dry in your robe, you ventured out to where Henry was. He had pulled out a t shirt and shorts for you.
“I thought I’d let you pick out the rest,” He said. He walked closer and pulled you into a hug.
“I’m going to go and make you something to eat, okay?” He whispered. You nodded and watched him give you one last smile before he left the room. 
You quickly got dressed, and headed out to the kitchen. He smiled at you when you walked in, but it quickly faded when he saw truly how tired you were. 
He walked over to you and picked you up once more. Your head immediately went to his neck, and you nuzzled into his warmth. He carried you over to the counter, and sat you atop it, allowing you to keep close to him, while he cut up strawberries for you. 
He tossed the cut up strawberries on to your plate with you grapes and other assorted food. 
He lifted you again, and took you to the couch. He turned on Brooklyn Nine Nine for you, and quickly returned with your food, and a glass of what you assumed to be milk. 
He sat down next to you and tugged you into his lap. You protested slightly but he immediately shushed you.
“Let me take care of you, okay?” He whispered and you nodded. He placed the plate in your lap, and eyed you carefully to ensure you were eating. You finished half the plate before reaching for your milk.
Taking a skip, it was surprisingly warm. You downed it quickly before curling up into Henry.
“Thank you for taking care of me,” You whispered. “I’m sorry I yelled at you like that.” 
He moved your head to you could make eye contact with him. 
“No, honey, I’m sorry for yelling. I didn't realize you were so tired and emotional. I’m so sorry sweetheart,” He whispered, and pressed a loving kiss to your forehead. “I’m also sorry I kissed you like that. I don't know what came over me, other than I was mad and I needed to kiss you. I never wanted you to feel uncomfortable. I really do apologize.” 
You shifted more.
“I liked the kiss. I was annoyed because I thought I was doing something wrong while we were filming and that it was funny to you. When you kissed me in the trailer, I wanted to kiss back, but you didn't give me a chance, that’s why I was crying,” You said, tears welling up in your eyes once more.
He tugged you closer, and pressed another, more gentle kiss to your lips. Your stomach fluttered, and you immediately kissed back. 
You went to deepen the kiss, but he pulled away. “Not yet, baby. Let’s go to bed, okay?” He whispered in your ear, and you nodded. 
He stood the two of you up, and you headed into the bedroom. 
Henry never let go of you. He kept you there, in his arms, all night, and all of the following day.
You knew things weren't back to normal, but they were getting there, and as long as you had Henry, you'd be okay.

Oh no I'm late to the Bakugou party! (if you want to) I'll send a request of Bakugou using his quirk to light your cigarette. Perhaps you two are sitting outside a coffee shop, talking or rather bantering back and forth, and you pull out a cigarette to which he leans forward and sets the tip ablaze, all while keeping eye contact -
Sis 🥵 Thank you for this!! I deviated it a little bit to make it a hurt/comfort fic, so I hope that’s okay. It took me a minute to figure out, but in the end I’m happy with the result! I had fun with the banter and making their history. I also threw in a little bit of mutual pining to tug at the heartstrings.
-
Description: When Bakugou’s childhood best friend is injured in battle, he goes against all hero training to get them to a safe place and comfort them against the pain, realizing new feelings in the process.
-
-
Pro-Hero Katsuki Bakugou x Pro-Hero Reader
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, Angst with Fluff, Childhood Friends-to-Lovers
Warnings: Smoking, blood.

“Just give it to me!” you snarled, lashing your fingers at Bakugou as he dragged you along the sidewalk. Even as the rough concrete dragged against your back, grating against the sensitive skin exposed by the rips in your hero costume, all you could focus on was the aching need lodged in the back of your spine.
Bakugou listened to you whine, only rolling his eyes as he continued to haul you along the street. He wished he could carry you--it would be a lot faster, and it would put you in less pain--but with his left arm wounded by the same villain that took a bite out of your side, you’d have to be content with the bumpy ride.
It was the opposite of everything he’d ever learned in his hero training, but this was you, his best friend, and he couldn’t leave you vulnerable and hurt on the ground for the villains.
“No, dumbass,” he grunted. His right arm muscles strained from carrying you. “You need medics, not a cigarette.”
“Give me both then!” you demanded. “Baky, come on, you know I need one right now!”
“If you need a smoke that badly, I’ll explode in your face. Inhale that.”
“Not the same.” 
Bakugou ignored your rant, only focused on finding a safe place. When he was a student he would have thought this cowardly, running away from a battle, but as soon as he saw you fall a few minutes ago all he could focus on was getting you away from the fight and hidden from villains. Despite the public oath he took upon graduation to protect the city and its citizens above all else, you were his best friend, and you came first.
His eyes searched the streets for any refuge. Despite the nice weather, no one was outside, a welcome relief. For once they actually listened to orders and stayed inside. He didn’t have to worry about you and some clueless civilian getting mixed up in a villain’s way.
But, if someone were here, maybe they could have helped.
Soon your complaints turned to pained whimpers, and Bakugou’s heart raced as he realized he had little time left. You needed a hiding spot and a doctor, and fast.
“Hang on, dumbass,” he said, tightening his hold on you. “You’re not dying on me. That’s extra behavior.”
“I’m not an extra,” you grumble.
“Hell no you’re not. So just stay with me.”
Despite the raging pain flowing through your body, you cracked a smile. He couldn’t see it, but it warmed your heart to know he cared. Even if he was awful about admitting it.
As he got more fatigued, your body got heavier. For both of your sakes, he needed to find a hiding spot fast.
Finally, he found a closed coffee shop with a broken lock and dragged you inside. He hid the two of you behind the counter, amid bags of coffee beans and pristine equipment. Though the lights were off, the windows were big enough to let him see just how badly you were injured.
Slightly delirious, you rested your head against a sack of flour to stop the world from spinning. Your injury was bad enough, but him dragging you across the city exacerbated the blood loss. The edges of your vision were fogging up.
You felt his hands on your stomach, hooking under the torn strips of cloth and ripping to expose your lower abdomen where the bite was. Too hurt to even be embarrassed, you let him examine you. The rush of air was cold against your burning skin.
Bakugou sucked in his breath. You had been attacked by some sort of poison villain, a new one. They had sunk their fangs into you and pumped toxins, causing the veins stretching across your stomach to turn a sickly neon blue as the poison spread. When they detached their fangs, they took a chunk with them, leaving an exposed wound down the side of your body.
If the poison were as dangerous as it looked, you would have died already. What he needed to focus on now was your blood pooling on the floor.
He crouched above you, instinctually shielding you in your weakened state. The villain had attacked him too, but he managed to rip them off before the toxins could paralyze him, only leaving a bloody wound in his bicep. In the heat of battle, he had to cauterize the wound to stop the bleeding…
“Hey, idiot,” he said, snapping his fingers. You slowly opened your eyes, watching him in paralytical annoyance. “I’m going to use my quirk to stop the bleeding, okay? Bite this.” He found a spare dish towel and strapped it in your mouth, both to protect your tongue and keep your screams quiet from anyone who may have followed the blood trail outside.
You accepted it, but your eyes betrayed the fear ricocheting through your body. Just as he lowered his good arm to your wound, a tear slid down your face, catching his attention. With the most comforting expression he could muster, he lifted his numb hand and wiped the tear away, letting it rest against your cheek for a few subtle moments.
“Hey,” he whispered, gruff voice lowered into a calming tone. “I know this is going to hurt. I’m sorry. But this is the only way to stop this type of bleeding, so you need to be brave for me, alright?”
A couple more tears escaped as you nodded. He dutifully wiped them off. He pushed your hair back from your eyes and made you look at him, showing you his blown-out pupils and just how scared he was, too. 
“You are the bravest person I know, and that’s saying something, especially considering myself.” You smiled at his attempt at a compliment. “So I just need you to keep being brave.” In lost judgement, he leaned forward and kissed your forehead, feeling how hot your face was even beneath his lips. You shed another tear, not from pain, but from gratitude for not being alone. 
As he kissed you, he activated his quirk, letting the heat consume your side. Fire licked at your skin as you mustered a scream, biting down on the dish towel in an attempt to lash out. Bakugou pressed his forehead against yours, pinning down your legs with his own to keep you still as you thrashed, muffled curse words mixing with your cries. 
“Just a few more seconds,” he whispered, feeling your skin close beneath his hand. “Hang on.”
You grabbed his other hand and squeezed, needing something to anchor your consciousness. He let you, returning the affection even with the little feeling he had in the wound. Each scream pierced his heart.
Finally, he felt the wound close completely and released your side, waving away the smoke that scorched your skin. You panted and spit out the towel, eyes rolling back from the shockwaves of pain. It wasn’t a permanent solution, but it would have to do for now. At least the bleeding stopped; an antidote could come later.
“Baky…” you whined.
He knew what you needed, silently getting up and finding a mug to fill with water. You struggled to sit up, pain blinding every move, until you felt hands shift beneath your armpits and pull you into a sitting position. He moved your head to rest against the counter and brought the cup up to your lips.
“Drink.”
You did as you were told, gulping the liquid as quickly as you could. Bakugou yanked the cup away mid-sip, making you choke. Water dripped down your chin as you shot him a dirty look.
“Small sips.”
You grabbed the mug to hold it for yourself, though his hands still hovered lightly against you. His bright red eyes stayed trained on yours as you followed his instructions, draining the cup bit by bit, until it was empty and you were satisfied. 
You held his gaze for a little while longer, daring him to do something, anything.
“Thank you,” you finally whispered, feeling the pressure of his strong hands overcome you, making you put the mug down on the floor. His hands covered yours, worn scars upon worn scars, warmth upon warmth.
He rocked on his heels and smirked. “You’re not dying on me, extra. You’re damn wrong if you think you can get out of opening an agency with me.”
“I’m not an extra,” you spat again, but he heard the mirth in your voice. The promise you made together in high school makes you feel warm, flooding your insides with nostalgia, filling your mouth with honey. Open your own agency together, be Heroes together or not at all. 
Today, it was almost not at all.
“I want--”
“Yeah, yeah.” Bakugou read your mind. He reached into the hidden compartment of his gauntlet and presented your favorite pack of cigarettes, pulling out a long, slender stick and perching it on your lips. His hand lingered a second too long, brushing against your chin, but his eyes widened as they met yours. 
A fleeting desire crossed your mind, like a comet streaking against the sky, but then the ache in your side sent you back to earth.
“Thanks.” You said, lifting your hand to push the cigarette further into your mouth. 
“Tch. Those things will kill you,” Bakugou grumbled, but he leaned forward, not breaking eye contact, until he was close enough to almost taste the other end. His gaze dropped down to your mouth, back to your eyes, and then down again as he raised his hand.
With a tiny pop, his palm connected to the cigarette butt and produced an explosion just big enough to light up the end. The buzz filled your mouth and crawled down the back of your throat, scratching that sweet itch. As you inhaled, Bakugou shook his hand out to clear the smoke.
“Can’t be much worse than this poison villain.” You took a breath. “I’m bouncing back fine.”
Bakugou huffed, setting his sight on the blue veins on your abdomen. “You weren’t the one carrying a basically unconscious body.”
“First of all, I was conscious, and second of all, you were dragging me. There was no ‘carrying’ in this scenario.” You watched the guilt manifest in his eyes, that rare sight of remorse. “So if I get skidmarks on my back, that’s on you.”
“Would be a cool scar. You could match Dunceface’s lightning strikes.”
You couldn’t help but laugh, watching as he inhaled the smoke. His eyes sparkled like rubies in the night sky. “Maybe. But at least I know you’ll save me again.”
“Tch. I have since we were kids, haven’t I? I will, forever.”
He wasn’t looking at you. Guilt settled in his stomach as he stared at the charred skin stretching between your ribs and hip, thinking about how much pain he must have caused you. You winced as you leaned forward to touch his shoulder, leveling eye to eye and just a few inches apart. The movement seemed to send an electric shock through him as he forced himself to meet your gaze. 
He had been your partner, your protector, for as long as he could remember. And today, he let his guard down, and you got hurt. You almost died. And in saving your life, he had caused you more pain.
Your aching scream would fill his nightmares for the rest of his life.
“You didn’t do this to me, Katsuki.” His teeth rippled along his lower lip as you said his first name. The familiarity of your voice, your scent, your touch washed his heart in peace. You were here. You were with him. You were safe.
“I did. I exploded your side.” He wanted to shake you off, pay penance for his guilt with a broken heart, but your grip was like steel. “Some hero I am, doing this to--”
“You saved my life!” you screeched. “Katsuki, look--look at me!”
He turned his eyes to you, but he wasn’t looking at you, he was busy searching for any other explanation for how close you were now.
“If you hadn’t been watching me when that villain attacked me, I would be dead. If you hadn’t dropped everything and dragged me to safety, I would be dead. If you hadn’t used your quirk on me, I would be bleeding out in front of you.” You pant and grab his face, forcing him to look into your soul, into your heart, into the very depths of feelings you had for him. “You saved my life. You are a hero.”
He was puzzled. You were a pro-hero. He didn’t need to protect you anymore. So why was he insistent on watching?
Because he could never take his eyes off you.
He whispered your name as if it were a prayer, thanking everyone who cared to listen, as he leaned in and kissed you.
Your heart shattered, but in the best way, as if it had been puzzle assembled incorrectly and each piece was falling back into its perfect place.
As if he could control it, the pain lessened the longer Bakugou kissed you, gently grabbing your waist opposite your wound. The kiss was salty, and warm, and long, the product of years of pining and pent-up feelings. Every time you tried to pull away, he would bring you back in, as if he couldn’t believe this was actually happening and needed more proof. You, too, couldn’t believe how gently your angry blond friend held you. It was the opposite of everything you had ever known about him, but maybe you had a good influence on him.
Maybe, this was the start of something new.

What if we get a Camboy!Hawks that gives us special attention after he notices the amounts of money we pay to his streams while the other customers get jealous?? 😈
(Y’all know this type of shit speaks to my cam model heart)
U could do anything you wanted to me
“Anything, huh? Would you let me spit in your mouth?”
I would thank you😩😩😩
Spit anywhere you like, daddy. I’ll lick it up
Keigo chuckled. His fans were a mess, but he couldn’t lie and say he didn’t appreciate the ego boost their admiration gave him. It was a major turn on for an exhibitionist like himself.
“Damn, you horny sluts are making daddy excited.” He quirked one of his blonde brows, slyly. “Wanna see how much?”
100 tokens
20 tokens
500 tokens
60 tokens
800 tokens
50 tokens
He angled the camera towards his crotch where his half mast erection poked through his boxers.
The pinging of his token alarm was non-stop as his fans excitedly donated for more.
“You guys know what daddy wants.”
Keigo sat back against his wooden headboard, one arm propped behind his tousled blonde hair. He gave the camera a slow, lazy smile which earned him even more enthusiastic tips.
“Get daddy to 500,000 tokens so we can really have some fun.”
He then flashed the buttplug and flesh light that was sat ready and waiting on his bedside table. A promise of what was to come.
Just then a warning alarm went off. Keigo’s Golden eyes zeroed in on the username immediately.
(Y/n) has tipped 10,000 tokens
Keigo’s dick jumped to attention immediately.
“Ohh there’s my favorite little birdie. Hey, babe, haven’t seen you on in a couple streams.”
I know ^^ thought I’d make it up to u. I just wanna make you happy.
“Baby, anytime you’re in my stream, I’m happy.”
He meant that. Over the couple years that he had been camming, y/n had been an avid supporter. He had you to thank for keeping him going in his cam career.
I can make u happy 2 daddy😣
1,000 tokens
“Aww, of course you can baby bird.” Keigo smiled.
He freed himself from his boxers, sighing in relief when he was finally free. His erection slapped against his right abs with a light smack.
(Y/n) has tipped 15,000 tokens
Omigod that looks so good, daddy. Ooh I missed it so much 🤤
“Oh yeah? You like that? Why don’t we go private then?”
Keigo tried to keep the hopeful edge out of his voice as he threw out the suggestion. He loved going private with you.
Nah, baby, u promised these ppl a show. U should give it to them.
Keigo let out a deep, lusty groan.
“Damn, you’re too good, y/n. You’re gonna make me work for it, aren’t ya?”
😈
“Don’t give me that look.”
500 tokens
Keigo leaned forward and stroked his scruffy beard with a smirk.
“You drive a hard bargain, Birdie.”
He gripped his dick and circled his thumb around the head, spreading the slick of desire that leaked from the tip around.
It ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none, Papa Bird. 😉
20,000 tokens
“Mmm, y’all are so lucky that y/n is so charitable.”
He leaned back and bucked hips into his fist, moaning.
😕 u always get more excited for y/n
Everybody don’t got that kinda money..
Thank u y/n 🙏🏾🥳
Yeah, thx 4 takin all the attention 😒
20,000 tokens
Spit on it daddy, make it nasty.
Keigo hunched over, spitting onto his dick and covering it in the natural lubricate.
🤤🥴 holy shit that’s so fucking hottt
I wish too succ daddy Hawks’ dicc
Ily so much😫
Let me have ur babies
Strings of saliva dripped from his pierced tongue on to his throbbing member. He pumped his fist along his erection, hot pleasure coursing through his body with every stroke as the praise flooded in.
“What next, Birdie?” Hé choked out.
Don’t forget the balls, babe.
“Of course, Cuz you never forget the balls.” He licked his lips
Never 😇
“Oh now you’re an Angel.”
Squeeze them 😇
50,000 tokens
Without hesitation, Keigo did what he was told. Squeezing and massaging his sensitive sack. He felt another clench of desire grip him.
U just do whatever y/n asks huh? 😤
It’s always like that with these 2🙄
I don’t mind, y/n always helps give us a good show...🥵
U look so good, Papi.
“Heh, gotta do a good job for my favorite Birdie.”
Keigo choked out. His strokes were alternating between fast and slow, he rotated his hands while his other hand played with his pereneum. The layers of stimulation felt sharp and sweet.
Use that cute little butt plug of yours if u need more, Papi.
Keigo’s heavily lidded Amber eyes, were almost closed with his desire.
“You’re really trying to rile me up, huh, Birdie?”
The better job u do in the public chat, the more I’ll give u in the private chat.
Renewed with the prospect of the money and depravity you were sure to give him in private chat, Keigo grabbed the metal butt plug. He drizzled the lube he had on his night stand on the toy before showing it to the camera.
Oh fuck yesss 🥵🥵
😏
Show us how well u can take that shit, Daddy Hawks
And take it he did. He let out a throaty groan as the cool metal stretched his tight walls pleasantly. A hiss of pure ecstasy that matched the soft expression on his handsome face escaped as the toy settle against his gspot.
“Fuuuuck.” He groaned, eyes crossing temporarily.
The pinging was back. More frantic than ever.
Keigo’s Adam’s Apple bobbed as he swallowed, body adjusting to the new sensation.
80,000 tokens
5,000 tokens
10,000 tokens
50 tokens
100 tokens
4,000 tokens
Feel good baby?
“You know it does,” he quipped back, albeit weakly.
Mmm, I bet. How bout u get that flesh light?
He did. Displaying it before the camera for his favorite user and the rest of his stream.
Slowly, he slid his sensitive manhood into the fleshy, moist walls of the sleeve.
“Oh my god...” his eyes rolled back.
The way I like, Daddy. 😏
“Ok baby...”
😔 I wish he’d call me baby
😒 gotta become a millionaire 2 get that kinda attention, I guess...
If he wasn’t so caught up in how fucking good he felt, Keigo would have laughed at  his fans saltiness.
Keigo rotated his hips, the thrum of his vibrating buttplug against his gspot sending his senses into overdrive.
“Oh goddd,” he practically sobbed, golden eyes fixed on the chat and hazy with his desire.
God he hoped y/n was watching. Hoped they were playing with themselves and imagining it was them bouncing on his twitching dick. He wondered what his favorite user looked like—if the face and body matched the sweet personality and beautiful voice he had heard during their private streams.
Faster daddy. Do it faster.
50,000 tokens
His hips bucked harder. The gripping, wet sleeve hugged his hardness in a warm, moist massage that had pleasure rolling over his body in waves. The only plug only added to the overload.
His mind was going blank, mouth falling open as strangled noises fell from it.
Oh my god look at that...🤤
His golden eyes fluttered close.
Keigo threw back his head, feeling his orgasm approaching. His blonde hair tumbled off his face, giving his stream an unobstructed view of the euphoria on his face.
Just then a ‘private’ alert came through from you.
Shakily, he accepted.
“Hi baby.” You purred. Just a beautiful, disconnected voice. Smooth and sweet and thick like honey butter.
“H-hey, Birdie.” He stammered through his grunts. “What-Ah-happened to, fuck, it ain’t fun if the homies can’t have none?”
You chuckled through your nose.
“I let them get their show, but that ‘O’ face is for me. Now cum for me, Daddy.”
He could hear the lust thick in that sensual voice of yours.
“Fuckkk,” he sighed.
He fucked himself harder and harder on his sleeve, eyes rolling back.
“Ahh god, I’m fuckin’ coming, baby, ughh-fuck.”
His nut exploded out of him, wracking his body in a fierce ecstasy. Then, just as quickly as it swept him up, it settled him back down. Back to earth.
“Oh my god, Baby Bird...” he mumbled weakly as he floated back to earth.
“That was delicious, Daddy. Thank you.”
He chuckled. “Anytime.”
“Oh?” He could hear the wicked smirk in your voice. “How ‘bout round two then? We’ll cum together this time.”
Keigo grinned into the camera, where unfortunately a black screen stared back at him. Ah well, hopefully one day he would get to see the stranger attached to the lovely voice that coaxed him to his orgasm.
“Ready when you are, Baby Bird.”

If you're still doing prompts, how about D? With Maya and Ray thinking Kai will be the next master of water?
Sorry this one took so long, I got caught up with a bit of writer's block on another request!
Title: Making Waves
Word: 800
Ships: Raya? (Not sure how that’s supposed to be)
Warnings: None
“Come on sweetie, you’ve almost got it,” Maya said as she pulled more water from the stream into the bucket. Kai, to his credit, really was trying with all of his might to keep the water from flowing through the hole in the bottom.
“I-I-Almost...got it-!” Maya thought she saw some of the water start to change the direction of it’s flow, when she heard Nya was starting to get fussy again. She turned around to see Ray bouncing her on his knee.
“Maybe you should call it a day, Maya. The two of you have been at it since before lunch.” Maya sighed as she gave another glance back at her little boy. He was still trying his hardest to hold the water in the bucket, but it just wasn’t enough.
“Maybe you’re right,” she said. “I just thought that he would’ve made more progress by now.”
“I know honey, but remember what Wu said: He’s the son of two competing elemental masters...it might take a lot longer for his powers to really take root.” Maya sighed; of course it was a possibility, but it was also so very frustrating for her!
“I guess so,” she said in return. “I’m just so excited that my little boy gets to be the next mast of water!”
“I know, he would be the first male heir in, what? Eight generations?” Maya chuckled as the wind began to pick up.
“Nine,” she replied. “Ever since Cina inherited the title from her father.” She knew the story well; just as Ray should as well. He chuckled as Nya finally started to calm down.
“Of course, Wu wouldn’t let me near the Golden Sword of Fire until I’d memorized all of the primary bloodlines of the elemental masters.” Maya was about to respond when Kai let out a frustrated sigh and sat himself on the wet grass.
“I can’t do it Mommy! It’s too hard!” Maya felt her heart start to crack a little at seeing her son getting frustrated. Maybe she was pushing him a little too hard? After all, he only just turned four.
“That’s okay honey,” she cooed; “we can try again some other time.” Maya cooed. Kai looked up at her, with some of his tears starting to well up in his eyes.
“Really?” He asked.
“Of course son!” Ray said from the blanket farther back. “Just because you can’t do something the first time you try it, doesn’t mean you give up. You have to practice and get a lot of things wrong before you can do something.” Maya couldn’t help but smile at the grin her husband had on his face as a butterfly fluttered on by. Little Nya giggled as she reached out trying to grab it.
“Okay daddy, I’ll keep practicing!” Kai responded. He looked so happy with his new-found confidence, that he stood back up on his stubby legs and tried getting some of the water that was still left in the bucket to obey. Maya turned back to switch places with Ray, when Nya started getting grabby with that butterfly. Then she felt something click within her powers; the second Nya had balled her little hand into a fist and pulled it straight towards her chest, Maya felt a vast swell from the river lift up over them.
“KAI!” She cried out as she lunged for her baby boy on reflex. She could see the terror in his eyes at the wall of water barrelling towards him. Then she saw the spark forming in his hands; in his fear and by reflex from those first bits of training she’s given him, she watched that spark grow into a flame, and then a wall of fire! Just as fast as it had appeared, all that water exploded back towards the river in a burst of steam! She stared at the scene before them; what had been a small bank on the edge of the local river, had now been reduced to a blast-zone of boiling steam and charred earth.
“MOOOOMMMMMYYYYY!” Kai wailed from his spot on the ground at the head of the blast. Maya shook off her shock long enough to grab her baby boy, who climbed into her arms as he cried.
“It’s ok sweetie, mommy’s here…” She cooed as she rubbed the back of his head. She shot a look back at Ray, to see him doing the same comforting Nya, with the same stunned deer-in-headlights look that she had in her eyes. Once they had calmed the kids down, Maya motioned that they should head back to the forge.
“Well,” Ray said as he stood up. “At least we know who got your water powers...” Maya felt her mouth drop in disbelief.
“HE’S NOT HELPING YOU IN THE FORGE!”

Dumbass got stabbed III
I really thought I had finished with this two shot but after a request from @/booksrlife300 on ao3 asking for the aftermath I really couldn't resist making it a three shot. And my writing demon certainly agreed because it really went wild during my plane ride.
Anyway here is part three (and i think the final part) to dumbass got stabbed.
Recap (since it's been over a year):
Percy gets stabbed by a monster after coming back from the movies with his friends and the first place he goes to is Jason's house. Jason nearly has a heart attack after Percy collapses on his door and then he pulls him inside and stitches him all up.
This fic starts with Percy waking up the next morning.
[image has alt text]
Tumblr media
Percy wakes up to searing pain. It spills across his skin like an upturned sowing box. He doesn't know where it's coming from because it feels like it's coming from everywhere. He can't even take stock of his body because he feels like one big pincushion. He supposes being stabbed makes him a pincushion.
He doesn't want to open his eyes. He can feel the light behind them. Too bright. Too loud. Too not how he feels.
He feels like deep darkness. Like the darkness just before a star explodes. The darkness before the sky erupts. The kind that blankets all of his senses except the one that pings danger. That's red and wailing at him. But then pain so untamed it turns his vision orange lances across his side and his eyes snap open with a low howl.
He can see white ceiling. He can see black dots. He hears scrambling, clothes rustling and something falling over. And then he can see blue eyes. And then he can see skies and oceans and glass bottles and concern like mothering hens staring down at him.
"Percy," His name is a growled gasp. Sleep still clinging to the strings of his friends voice box, scratching it's way down his throat.
"Hello, I'm in immense pain." Vaguely he notes that he sounds like an automated machine relaying it's faulty inner workings. That's half how he feels now that the burning-orange pain has lessened to a caution-yellow.
"Here," A golden hand, fingers wrapped in individual bandages, long and racing with green veins, holds out a square to him. It is small and unassuming. Nobody would guess it holds the food of gods. Then again nobody would guess those gods existed.
His mouth feels as though he's been eating his clothes for sustenance the last week. All heavy tongue, dry saliva glands, and teeth too smudgy to be healthy. He considers turning the square away for some toothpaste and a glass of water. But neither of those are going to magically cure the wound marking his side. So he opens his mouth, his jaw, and let's Jason drop the square onto his tongue. Warm fingers brush his lips as they pull back and he wants to chase the lightning-blue zing that they leave behind against his sarcastic mouth.
Instead he snaps himself shut and chews slowly. Only half interested in the cookies, then brownies, then soda— which he somehow knows is blue— disappears down his throat. He feels the magic working through his veins, skin stitching itself together. A headache he didn't know he had disappates.
With a long exhale he relaxes back against cotton cushions and finally takes a good look around the room. He has every detail of it already memorised, having spent many a day and night in this position bothering his friend endlessly. There's the singular shelf that houses old trinkets tattered and bruised from years of moving; the single arrow from Thalia's set— given in protection and as a reminder that she would always be there, for real this time; there's the gaudy new York taxi keyring he had given the blonde, now without the ring part, so of no real use; and the snow globe from Piper when she visited Paris. The soft yellow wall— lemon drizzle if you want to get specific— sits in perfect contrast to the charcoal grey of the rest of the room. It sort of embodies Jason's whole presence. The desk, well used and scattered with books and paper and Chinese takeout containers, sits in the corner opposite the bedroom, right near the window. He says if he can see the city he can breathe a little easier. He knows what he's working towards. Percy thinks it's so he can see the sky and know there's always a way to escape.
Him and Jason are good at that. Escaping. From bad situations, from big feelings, from each other. There's always something left unsaid between them. It drives their friends mad, but it's all they can do to stop from becoming hurricanes and devouring the entire universe.
"How are you feeling?" The blonde is sitting in his swivelly squeaky desk chair, leaning over him with all sense of care and concern. It makes him feel like duck egg blue.
"Much better thank you." He attempts a grin. He hopes it's not a grimace. "No matter how many times I get stabbed it doesn't seem to hrut any less."
Jason narrows his eyes, "I wonder why."
See that's what Percy likes. Everyone else is always giving him disapproving looks and worried scoldings when he says things like that but Jason? Jason indulges him, makes it feel not so suffocating to always be injured and bruised and relying on little squares of God-food to get him through the month.
"How do I look?" This time it's definitely a grin. He can feel the green of his eyes go emerald with amusement.
"Very pretty as always." The reply is solemn, but there's a twitch of pink lips and it's all he can do to not reach over and touch it.
"Want to tell me what happened?" A frown replaces the amusement and he wants to rewind the last few seconds again and again. "You were a little...out of it when you showed up."
"Yes I suppose getting attacked by a monster makes all the smart chemicals in my brain go a little foamy."
"You don't know what attacked you?"
And he is pinned to the bed, to the room, to the world. Because nobody can read the words behind his words the way Jason can. Can read the emotion behind his pauses and the expressions behind his masks. He is neon purple.
"It was dark." He resigns himself to the story. When he's done, laid all the boring details bare, he studies the floors.
The silence stretches around them, cocooning them into something too delicate to touch. It feels almost awkward, or it would if he knew anything about that when he was here. Instead it's just quiet.
"Can you stand? You need a shower."
"Oof Jase," He puts a hand to his chest, hurt painted like clown's make up falling across his face. "I can't look that bad."
There's a precious smirk, full of quick whips kicking up in his friend. "It's the way you smell actually."
He takes an exaggerated whiff and nearly gags. "I smell like I'm decaying." He shudders.
A laugh bursts from the blonde and Percy doesn't want to move in case the music ends. He feels candy floss pink in that moment.
"Right up you get. I'll sort out breakfast and then you can entertain me for the day."
"You don't have to take care of me." He rolls his eyes, sitting up with a hidden wince. His feet settle on the floor. He's grateful neither of them acknowledge that he came here in a haze. That Jason did take care of him. That when his mind was nothing but blinding pain this was the first place his legs took him.
"I'm not taking care of you. I'm using you for entertainment."
What his friend doesn't realise is that Percy can read all his hidden scripture just as well. How "entertain me" means I'm keeping an eye on you. How "mind helping me with this" means I can do it just fine by myself but I want company. How winks mean "it's a joke between us" but smirks mean "it's honesty but gently". It warms his heart to know he can do this. It's a sunshine yellow thing to know someone the way they know each other.
"You good?" Jason stops at the door when he still hasn't moved from the bed.
"Yes just preparing to haul my very large body into your very small shower." He feels the eye roll more than see it. It tugs a smile onto his face.
"I'll remind you that I'm an even larger body and I make it work."
"How on earth do you ever have shower—"
"Percy Jackson!" He is snapped into a laugh.
And then he's in the bathroom and his mouth is full of mint bubbles and although there are circles as deep purple as squished plums under his eyes they shine with contentness. He doesn't fear or worry. Not here. At home, in his mother's house, he's the protector from monsters only he can decimate. At camp he is the protector from monsters that are determined to destroy. But here. He is just Percy. And his protector is cooking pancakes in the kitchen. He is just Percy. And he is sage green as he steps into the steam of the shower.
He looks down, catching the fading wound on his abdomen. His brown skin let's droplets of water rest briefly before rippling and they go racing down to the tiled floor. He stands there for a good minute just staring blankly. But then he hears the sound of a kettle whistling and it jolts him into action as he scrubs the grime and gross of yet another something trying to kill him, off his body.
By the time he's done— sweats and a loose tee rummaged from Jason's closet draping over his too hot skin— the pancakes are neatly stacked on two plates and fresh steaming coffee sits to the right of their food. He feels honey brown.
"Looks delicious."
"I know the way to your heart." The blonde shrugs.
"It's more of a journey than most bargain for." He laughs quietly.
"Dont worry I've brought my hacksaw and my hiking boots I'm willing to run through Amazonian forests."
"Well that's relieving," He grins around his mug. "I was beginning to think I'd be stranded in my stone tower forever."
"All alone?"
He snorts, "No I've made friends with all manner of being. I can't be alone, you know that." He bites into his pancake, blueberry slipping off his fork with a thudding splash into the syrup.
"I do know." The blonde's voice is all buttery and melting. And the truth that comes with it knocks a new vein into Percy's heart.
They're quiet for a few minutes as they devour their breakfast. When there's mere sips of coffee left he settles back in his chair and regards his friend.
"What manner of entertainment am I providing today?"
"Whatever you want but I'm not leaving the house."
"Oh good I don't know if I can make it ten steps out your door without half crumbling to dust these days."
"You wouldn't."
"Mhmm," He hums distractedly, gaging the weather to decide if they're going to huddle up with movies and far too many blankets or throw playing cards at each other while drowning in lemonade. It's a movie sort of day, he decides.
"You wouldn't turn to dust." Jason is saying. "You're too much god and too much good to die like monsters." There is that silent reading again.
"Maybe I was." Percy shrugs, "Before you know..."
And he doesn't need to add anymore because the big space the catches onto that sentence no matter how much time separates those events from the now still means the same thing. Before Tartarus. Before he made a ventriloquist puppet out of a goddess. Before he became unhinged.
"You are not a monster for protecting yourself. Or others." Golden voice is firm. Solid.
"You may be the only one who knows and thinks that."
"Doesn't matter it's still true."
"Okay enough seriousness." He doesn't have the energy for their circling conversation. "Shall we binge Pirates of the Caribbean?" For a stormy grey second he thinks his friend is going to keep their talk going but then he sees the surrender behind the blue eyes and a part of him unwinds.
"We can." There's a raised eyebrow accompanying the agreement and he knows there's conditions attached. Like a damn insurance plan. "If your promise to let me walk you home this evening."
"My big bad wolf." He teases.
The blonde responds with a low growl that makes his whole body turn a violent azure blue. "Fine. We shall stare at Captain Jack Sparrow and then you can valiantly walk me to my front door and shake hands with my mother."
"Wonderful. Now let's get some blankets down."
Jason smiles as he stretches on his tiptoes to reach the fluffy ones. He feels the soft material under his palm but the there's a hand over his brown one and it's tugging the blanket down. He sticks his tongue out at his friend.
Percy is ocean blue.
