How would Sebastian, Kimi, Mark and Jenson react when their girlfriends/ wives would refuse to fall asleep and are overtired? Who'd carry them to bed or just hold them till they fall asleep? Who'd dress them in their clothes or pjs? How'd they react when the partner falls asleep in the car?
Sebastian: Who'd dress them in their clothes or pjs
"I'm exhausted." You whimper head falling against your husband shoulder. "I know bug, but you can sleep in a little bit." Sebastian mummers helping you up the stairs.
"I can barely move," You whine, eyes glossy with sleep. Sebastian chuckles and helps you into the bedroom and gently lays you on the bed. "You've got to get changed, bug." His voice soft as he mills around the room.
"Help me?" He chuckles already with his old Ferrari shirt in hand and your favorite underwear briefs. "I love you," It was one of those I love you's that had Sebastian freezing. It was the one that held so much love and softness he just wanted to lie down and hold you.
"I love you too," Peeling off your party worn clothes he slides his soft shirt over your head which has you melting under your husband's touch. "Go to sleep bug."
Kimi: Refuse to fall asleep and are overtired
"Lumi enkeli, please you need sleep." Kimi whispers, hands gliding over your shoulders as he kisses the soft spot on your neck. Usually it lulls you to sleep but this time you brush him off.
"Kimi stop, Toto needs my final report. I'm the head of engineering, I can't take a break." You grumble, annoyed with your husband's antics to get you to stop working. "Y/n, sleep." Kimi was growing annoyed, you hadn't slept beside him in multiple nights.
"Kimi, no." Kimi doesn't think twice and slaps the laptop down which pulls an annoyed and frustrated groan from your lips. "Kimi, yes. You need sleep and I want my wife to sleep beside me. Maybe wake up to you and not the cold side of your bed and you working yourself to death instead. So, you're coming to bed." Rolling your eyes, you let Kimi pull you up and drag you to the bedroom.
"Wait, wait I forget to send an email." "I will light that fucker on fire."
Jenson: Who'd carry them to bed or just hold them till they fall asleep
It was your annual movie night, but Jenson knew when you stepped into the door of his apartment you wouldn't last much longer. "Long day?" He whispers, arms slowly moving around your body.
"Yes, and still not over." You whine, tired of all the overtime you've been doing. Jenson makes a noise but neither of you move to get up. "Love ya," You grabble. Mouth feeling like cotton as sleep starts to drag you down. Jenson says nothing as he knew the warmth was always what pulled you down.
He doesn't move, until he feels your chest even out. Sliding out he smiles down at you. "I've got ya," He whispers and lifts you up with ease as he carries you to the bedroom.
Mark: How'd they react when the partner falls asleep in the car
It was a long flight, and an even longer drive to your remote ranch in Australia. "Roo, we're here." Mark whispers, hand curling into your hair. When you don't answer as Mark pulls up the long drive to the house, he looks over seeing your relaxed face and short even breaths.
"Roo?" He whispers, but it wasn't a way to wake you more so soft and affectionate. A whine passes your lips, uncomfortable and Mark moves quick. "I'm coming." He grumbles, bones popping as he makes his way to your side of the car.
Opening the car door he easily pulls you into his arms, kissing the top of your head. "We're home baby, let's get you to bed." Mark mumbles, stifling his own yawn.

Relief, is exactly how you felt when the elevator finally stopped at your floor and you saw your apartment door.
Your state could only be described as completely and utterly spent. Your previously brushed, clean hair was now disheveled and a little damp from the rain. A black tote hung from your shoulder, threatening to spill its content all over the floor at any minute, while you held your laptop bag weakly over your other shoulder.
Your muscles felt sore, and you were sure you caught a cold from the rain pouring down onto your head during your walk back home. All you ever wanted right now, was your clean bed and your lover's warm embrace.
Your hands reached to ring the doorbell, too exhausted to even reach into your bag and look for the keys. Much to your delight, you didn't have to wait long for an answer.
The door opened, the arouma of spices and mouth-watering cooking instantly filling your nostrils, making your instant ramen-filled stomach rumble angrily. The apartment was dim, the comfortable orangish lights spilling out of the door onto the gloomy corridor where you stood. A faint melody was playing on your vinyl, something with a slow saxophone, jazz.
And at the door, there he stood.
Wearing nothing but a pair of grey sweats, an apron saying 'kiss the cook' covering his bare chest. His soft, black curls were wet, some of the strands at the front dripping water onto your carpet. You kept getting whiffs of his minty aftershave, only to notice the small stubble he'd grown was now long gone, leaving a 5'oclock shadow to define his strong jaw.
"Oh, cariño, let me help you with those—" Before he could move, you pushed him inside, clumsily let the bags fall off your shoulders and threw yourself at him. He caught you without losing his balance, strong arms wrapping around your waist while his head rested on top of yours. You pushed yourself more onto him, he smelled of spices, and that earthy cologne he wears all the time, and he was warm. Extremly so.
"Baby, did you walk?" You mustered up the energy to talk yet when you opened your mouth, a muffled noise of confirmation erupted. "I told you I'd pick you up—You're going to catch a cold. Let's change, hm? " He frowned at you, out of concern more than anything, all while helping you to your shared bedroom, his arms never leaving your waist. He helped you sit down on the bed, then opened his side of the closet to grab you one of his large, long sleeved shirts. You managed to undress yourself and put on the shirt he gave you, it smelled of that flowery laundry detergent of yours mixed with Miguel's cologne. The solace it brought you made light headed, gosh, you could sleep for days.
"Oh—No, no sleep until you eat. You probably haven't eaten properly today." Came your lover's baritone voice. You whined queitly, sprawling yourself across the bed. "Mig, 'm tired, tommrow?" Your eyes closed, and when you didn't hear his disapproval, you assumed he just walked out.
Then you felt yourself get lifted off of the comfort of your matress, your tummy squished against his broad shoulder.
"No puedo dejarte, amor, tienes que comer algo." You groaned, it was no use arguing with him, and besides, he was doing you a favour carrying you, your legs felt sore from walking anyway. Miguel set you down on the couch, and said he'll be gone for just a moment, telling you to stay awake for him. [I can't let you, love, you have to eat something]
You heard a few noises coming from the kitchen, a string of spanish curse words and sounds of plates falling but never followed by a crash. Miguel had covered you with a blanket and you were cozying up to a pillow, trying to pretend it's him. He came back after a few minutes, his apron long discarded, with a glass bowl filled with red soup, neatly garnished with avocados, lettuce and radishs.
"I made Pozole." It smelled delicious, Miguel rarely cooked since he was so busy, but when he did, you were sure it was going to be the best thing you've ever put in your mouth. You couldn't tell him you didn't want to eat when he was practically pushing the plate your way. Your arms weakly moved from underneath the blanket, but Miguel tutted at you, tutted. He lifted the spoon to your mouth, silently offering to feed you.
You giggled, and that stoic, serious expression he wore was replaced by a gentle smile and a loving gaze. If his colleges could see him now, they wouldn't believe its the same man who bossed them around.
Within these walls, he was yours, completely and utterly, yours.
He was patient, feeding you bit by bit, eyes never leaving your face. You were too busy enjoying the delight of a dish he was feeding you to notice his soft gaze. "S'good, Mig, So good."
"Yeah? I'm glad you like it, mi sol." He paused, realising you'd devoured the plate queit quickly. "You want me to get you some more?"
"No, 'nough." You spread your arms towards him, and he chuckled, picking you up, all while you were still tangeled in your blanket, now heading back to your room. He set you down for good this time, letting you sleep on his side of the bed while he got on from the other side. His strong arms wrapped around your figure, engulfing you with a sense of absolute security. You cuddled up closer and closer to him, the tip of your nose bumping against the crook of his neck. Your breath fanned against his skin, your legs a tangeled mess. His hands ran up the shirt you wore to squeeze your sides comfortingly.
Miguel was never tender, he found himself being rather harsh and cold most often than not, but not with you, never with you.
"Such a hardworking pretty little thing, aren't you?" He hummed, lips pressing against your forehead. You had slipped into sleep as soon as you set your head on his chest, and Miguel couldn't only admire your exhausted, but beautiful face, the way your lips parted and eyes fluttered every now and then.
"And all mine, yeah?"
Miguel moved, blowing on a scented candle that was lighting up the room, and returned back to his previous position, arms unmoving as the two of you cozied up against each other. He was slipping into sleep, when he heard a queit murmur, no louder than a whisper.
"Mhm, all yours."

Anon said "Please can you write something fluffy with Neuvillete? I just got to the archon quest and his appearance totally deceived me to think he would be a meanie when he's such a sweetheart 😭 please tell me you are already on the quest but ignore in case you aren't, thanks in advance!"
Sure, I can, anon. I am in love with Neuvi after all, the archon quest just made me even more soft for him.
-Lumi 💫
After the Rain
Neuvillete (Genshin Impact) x Reader
Warnings: None
Fluff and a picnic.
Tumblr media
You woke up at the sound of light rain. Yawning and stretching, you get up to look out the window. The clouds were heavy with no signs to stop soon, and you sighed. This was the third consecutive day.
For occasions like this, it was truly an inconvenience to live so far away from Fontaine's court.
You worked all morning on preparing many little snacks, some fruit salad and a patisserie you learned from your grandma, a great family secret. After that, you worked on packing it all on a basket, rushing out your cozy home and into the worsening weather outside.
- It's a miracle we haven't turned into fish yet - You sighed, quickly walking towards the closest aquabus station.
----
The Iudex of Fontaine was facing yet another day filled with trials and the dreading sense of not fulfilling his duty as he should, yet he wasn't sure of what the exact problem was.
The downpour worsened, and people grew a little more anxious. He also tried to stay calm, to no avail. Everything felt overwhelming. Maybe a break would be in order. He needed it more than everyone else.
----
As you got off the aquabus and into the lift towards the court, you couldn't help stop to fix your clothes and to check the little bouquet you put together from flowers in your little garden, you took a deep, determined breath and walked towards the gate.
- Y/N, good day, what brings you here? - The voice of the Chief Justice broke you out of your mind.
Walking towards him with an easy smile, trying to calm down your running heart. - Good day to you too, Monsieur Neuvillete- You were glad you seemed to walk in on break time. You raised the basket a little bit, his eyes following. -I thought it was a good day to enjoy a picnic over in Fontaine. Would you like to come? -
He raised an eyebrow, looking directly into your eyes with his piercing (beautiful) silver eyes, and you had to avert your gaze. - A picnic? In this weather? - He asked with a genuinely nice voice. He was always so kind, and your heart flipped again.
-A-ah, right...- You trailed trying to find an excuse -I... wanted to come even before the weather became like this... I had already made the food, and I was thinking about going to a place that had shelter from the rain- Every word came harder than the last, and you felt your face burn. Thankfully, he wasn't looking at you and he just hummed and nodded. - Then please lead the way -
----
You lay your picnic right below a nice pavilion on a park near the court, some otters playing around in the pond, and the rain just a light drizzle now.
You shared your food, talked about some funny and trivial happenings of your daily life away from the city, and made some easy talk that made him almost forget this was a break from one of the trials.
As you finished and put everything away again, you took a little box holding a couple more of the patisseries you made. Holding it for him, you smiled - I hope you ate well and had a good time. Thanks for accompanying me when you are so busy - you spoke sincerely, bowing lightly to him. He smiled softly, looking at the box in your hands and shaking his head. - Pleasure was all mine. Thank you for this time and for everything you shared with me today, from your food to all your stories -
- These are also for you, for when you need another break - You blushed lightly as he took it and gave you a gentle smile - Thank you so much, I will enjoy them for sure. Please, be safe on your way back - And with that, he turned around and left, walking back into the court.
----
Your trip back was uneventful and quiet, riding the aquabus and walking between the ponds and flower patches towards your home. Everything looked shiny, with a light coat of droplets that sparkled with the now present afternoon sunshine.
The sky was clearing and the clouds moved away fast. You smiled, looking at the beautiful scenery both in land and sky.
"When the Hydro dragon feels sad, it rains" Your grandma once said, as you looked out the window to the pouring rain. You turned to her with a surprised face, running to her.
- Then we must help him be happy again! so he can stop crying! - Little you said, with worried eyes, fisting into your grandma's skirt.
- Hmmm... You are right - She chuckled as she got up from the couch, and into the kitchen - and I happen to know a secret recipe that makes him all happy again - Those words made your face light up, jumping around happily.
- Then teach me! I want to help him so I can go play outside! - As you jumped and ran around with some ingredients, you learned how to bake a patisserie with a soft and sweet scent of lavender and honey.
That fond memory made you smile, reaching your home. After so many days, the rain finally went away.
When it rains, the hydro dragon is feeling sad, but he just needs some rest and a little treat to feel happy again.

✨ Coming home to Lumine ✨
CW: Male!Reader, Modern AU.
Tumblr media
You press down on the doorknob, and push the door open. You're a little surprised at that fact, since it's well past midnight. You see the light in the living room is still on. You close the door behind you. Suddenly the patter of bare feet on the wooden flooring. A familiar figure stands at the end of the hallway, dressed up in one of your t-shirts, far too big for her, and underwear - her usual pajamas. 
"Hi Y/N!" Lumine smiles brightly and waves her hand. "How are you doing?" 
You take off your shoes and hang your overcoat on the coat rack before making your way to her. You place a quick kiss on her lips. 
"I'm tired. Long day, that's all." You give her a smile in return. Her golden eyes look at you softly. "Shouldn't you be asleep by now?" 
She waves her hand dismissively, before pointing at the table. "Somebody has to take care of this handsome guy over here, right?" 
You sit down. Your hand goes to your eyes to rub them, efficiently covering your small blush. You hear the sounds of plates moving and the microwave's ping. Before long, Lumine sits next to you, placing a bowl of Radish and Veggie soup in front of you. 
"Hope you don't mind the microwave."
You grab the spoon and get to work. "How could I be anything but grateful?" 
She rests her chin on her arm, propped up on the table. "Hey, I don't mind. Not at all."
You quickly eat the dish. Before you can get up and carry the bowl to the sink, Lumine snatches it. "How about you take a shower? I'll be waiting in bed."
"Thanks Lumi." You take a quick glance at her before you go, just in time to see her yawn. 
"Uh oh, you're gonna eat me up!" You tease, and she chuckles.
"With how sweet you are? I wouldn't mind that at all…" 
After a fifteen minute shower and a good teeth brushing, you dress up in your own sleep outfit. You get out of the bathroom and head to sleep. She's lying there, half asleep, but the lights are still on. Her eyes are closed, but she cracks one open to greet you. 
"The door?" You put your folded day clothes in your drawer. 
"Locked." She mumbles sleepily. "I wanna be small spoon. You're in?" 
You click off the light and crawl under the covers. "Always."
She makes space for you, and you snake your arms around her. She settles in, her hand finding its way into yours. She curls her body slightly. 
"G'night Y/N." 
"Good night, Lumine." 
By the time you kiss her hair, she's already asleep. You soon follow.

Thanks for reading!

-🍓 Character(s): Illumi
-🍓 Type of reader: M!Reader
-🍓 Category: SFW
-🍓 Warning(s): None
-🍓 Song based off: Romantic Lover - Eyedress
-🍓 Edited: ❌
Tumblr media
You and illumi were complete opposites. You were really caring, sweet, hyper, and overall just a good person at heart.
But Illumi is just…Illumi. Many were fascinated by how you were dating a killer, which you never cared about.
“I seriously wonder why you’re still with him Y/n.” (Friend name) said with a sigh. “Hm? What do you mean?” You asked them confused and curious.
“I mean, he doesn’t show you any affection and barely shows emotion when he speaks to you. Let alone he kills people for a living Y/n! KILLS!! If I were you I’d instantly leave him and have a fresh start.” (Friend Name) huffed as they took a bite of their food which was interrupted by a light laugh from you.
“He is a killer..but how could I not love him? He took my breath away the moment I laid eyes on him. There’s no other who can make me feel this way, (Friend name).” You said as you rested your cheek on the palm of your hand, a dazed and love-sick look present on your face.
There was no doubt you were completely in love with Illumi. Killer or not, he was your lover and that won’t change.
“Illumi! I’m home!” You chirped as you took your shoes off at the entrance. Barley was even able to take the second shoe off Illumi hugged you tightly making you smile.
“Where were you?” He mumbled into your shoulder, slightly nuzzling into you. “I was out with one of my friends, did you miss me that much, Lumi?” You asked and gently caressed his face.
“Mhm.” He mumbled making you smile. Illumi had one way of showing affection to you and that was physical touch.
He wasn’t one for PDA so it was hard to show his love for you, but you didn’t mind.
“I missed you so much, so much I felt like I’d die..” He said before picking you up bridal style and walked to the living room where he gently placed you on the couch and just snuggled up close to you like a cat.
You let out a breathy laugh as you gave his forehead a quick kiss.

I remembered that Lumi-Pomme said that this song reminds her of q!bbh and it's been one of my favourites by Pomme (the singer) since it came out so I thought I'd share it
Translation under the cut
The Light
If I haven't found, in your eyes, the light It's 'cause your heart gave up Your lungs, a river In the casle of secrets, you are the youngest You know so many secrets You tell them not to forget
Forgetting your children And your children's children Forgetting your own name And the way home
What's precious in your past, Your joys, your rages, You cannot recall them It's the wind always silencing you If the wind has ravaged in your eyes What's left of the light We can meet both again Safe and warm underground
Forgetting your children And your children's children Forgetting your own name And the way home

Psst! This post about Phoenix is outdated! An updated one will be released soon!
I return with another post about Little Light, just to satisfy your appetite before I tackle this next Sky x Destiny crossover fanart. This time, we have a Hunter named Phoenix!
Tumblr media
Phoenix is a Hunter with a heart of gold and a brotherly attitude. His Ghost is Spark, an adventurous little guy who ends up going a little too far afield when he accidentally falls into a stream, his Light whisking him away to the Kingdom of Sky and washing up on the shores of Sanctuary Island.
After Spark returns to the Sol System with the help of a Moth named Ember, he soon resurrects Phoenix, which has some interesting effects given to get home, Spark had to go through Eden and Orbit. Haunted by dreams of the Sky calamity and Mother Bird's voice, Phoenix finds himself walking the line of two worlds, both suffering from Darkness and with barely any clue as to help either any more he already has.
Phoenix's armor is based on cosmetics from the Season of Dreams, with his helmet and cloak being based on the Phoenix Cape and Mask ultimate gifts. The other two Guardians of Phoenix's Fireteam, Lumi and Helix-4, have armors based on the Season of Rhythm and the Season of Prophecy. I may sit down and do some quick sketch references of them soon too.

Can I request the adult trio with a s/o who is trying to make them jealous on purpose because of an argument they had earlier?
trying to make them jealous
Tumblr media Tumblr media
characters: hisoka morrow ; illumi zoldyck ; chrollo lucilfer
warnings: none
notes: half of these were written ages ago, so it's quite fun to see what I had thought up back in 2020. nevertheless, I do hope you like this response nonnie, if you're still here ! ♡
Tumblr media
! HISOKA
just know, from��the start, that this won’t play out in your favour
the two of you had had an argument that same morning about something you couldn’t even remember, but you had stormed out of the house in an instant, leaving hisoka behind 
as you walked through the city, you happened to come across one of your friends, a male friend at that. hisoka had never truly liked him, but you couldn’t care less about that right now, he was the least of your worries
your friend offered to go and have a drink in a café he quite enjoyed, and you happily agreed. you needed someone to talk to, get your mind off of the stress that you had caused yourself just a few hours earlier
as you chatted with your friend, you could feel yourself calming down, completely forgetting all about what had happened. you couldn’t find the words to thank the one in front of you, so you simply enjoyed his company whilst you held the conversation
not an hour had passed when you spotted, from the corner of your eye, a red-haired man approach the building
you knew he was going to barge in and probably make an unnecessary scene, trying to get you to go home with him
but you weren’t going to budge, not this time
however, things didn’t seem to be going as you had expected. instead of entering the café, hisoka’s tall form landed on a woman’s, whom you had never seen in your life
it looked as if he was enjoying himself quite a bit, as he was getting ever so close to her and smiling down in glee. what the hell was he playing at?
you managed to avert your gaze for a good twenty minutes, but it got to the point that you just weren’t going to put up with his actions any longer
bidding a quick farewell to your friend, you exited the café and made a bee line towards your boyfriend, who still hadn’t let up his teasing act
needless to say, he would find your reaction amusing once your reached him, and you knew as soon as you got back home he would tease you endlessly about it
Tumblr media
! ILLUMI
this probably wasn’t the best idea you had ever had. at all
you couldn’t exactly recall the reason as to why you barged out of the large mansion in rage, needing to get away from your partner
all you knew was that he had pulled on the wrong strings and you were more than just angry
so you decided to hit the streets of the nearest village to the zoldyck’s residence, it hopes that you could find something to do to take your mind off of the rage you were currently drowning in
coincidentally, you stumbled across one of your good friends, who happened to be a guy. you had known him for absolutely years by now, and despite Illumi’s dislike towards other men being around you, the two of you still kept in touch quite regularly 
it was the perfect opportunity take a break and catch up with him, so you followed him to a nearby bar where he offered to buy you some drinks
though everything was platonic, the dark eyes that stared at you from beyond the glass windows didn’t see it as such 
you hadn’t noticed Illumi’s empty glare, as the lights from inside prevented anything that was outside to be seen
it was now his turn to get slightly angry, seeing as the guy next to you was getting awfully close and comfortable around you
were you cheating on him already? 
it wasn’t until you said your goodbyes to your friend that you encountered the looming figure that was your boyfriend 
had you not noticed his distinct scent, you would have screamed. you loved him, but he could be downright creepy sometimes
like he was being right now 
“what a lovely surprise seeing you here, ‘lumi”
you knew exactly what he was thinking
“I hope you gave him some warm goodbyes”
“don’t you dare. we spoke about my friends being off limits, and you agreed to it, remember?”
checkmate

! CHROLLO
chrollo would wonder where you were planning on running off to after storming out on him due to an argument you had just had. not very far, he was sure about that.
it just so happened that he had ticked you off in the phantom troupe's hideout, having tagged along with them because you were convinced that the current mission wasn't as dangerous as others they had been assigned.
truth be told, the main reason was to spend some little more time with your partner - who, at the moment, you couldn't even look at him without spurting steam from your ears. despite having been away from each other for the best part of three months, chrollo still managed to say something way out of line.
so here you were, steps echoing throughout the abandoned building. the gravel stabbing your feet only incited you to speed up, and it wasn't long before you spotted another member of the troupe in the far distance.
you couldn't tell if it was phinks or nobunaga, as whoever it was had their back turned to you. either way, it seemed you had stumbled across a perfect opportunity to get back at chrollo
it wasn't an unknown fact that chrollo liked to keep what is his, his. uvogin had tried to see how far he would take this ideology by flirting with you, almost earning himself a one way ticket out of the troupe by chrollo's hand
but, you had never flirted with one of them. what could be the worst that could happen?
"hey phinks, do you think you could check if there's something on my back? i swear the spiders in here keeping targeting me"
the blond hadn't noticed your presence until you were only a few feet away from him. he gave out a low grunt as a response, typical for the large majority of the men here.
you turned around, lifting your hair up to give him a clear view of the back of your neck. footsteps in the distance could be heard, faintly, as they approached
"can't see anything; shalnark probably pricked you with one of his pins earlier"
"oh, but are you sure? it just feels like there's something on me just...here"
you slipped the strap of your top down, showing the skin of your back to the spider behind you.
phinks, on his behalf, was a little more than just confused. he got along with you, but surely you didn't hold that much trust in him, especially when chrollo was-
"might I ask what is going on here?"
your partner's stoic smile never left his face, but by the way he held himself before you, it was clear the question had more than just curiosity behind it
"she just-"
"I was only asking for some help, chrollo. is there something wrong with that?"
phinks internally thanked you as, when you spoke up, chrollo's eyes turned from burning into his down to your own, a clear shift in his stare as the corners of his mouth stretched out a little more
"well, I'm always here if you have questions. no need to resort to others. surely you don't want to be a burden"
deciding to leave you two to it, the blond behind you managed to slip away. however, he knew he would be receiving unimpressed looks from his boss for the next few days.
you, on the other hand, would about to be dragged by your boyfriend into a secluded area. for a good lesson, he'd say

Hello, Lumi!
I'm not sure whether you'll write this but I have a prompt about omegaverse! Sanayeon, whereas Alpha!Sana is always rejected by Omega!Nayeon every time Sana tried to ask for bed activities until their rut and heat hit unexpectedly on the same day.
I'm not sure whether this is good enough but hopefully you'll see this request hehe ☺️
(hi anonie! the request is perfectly good! didn't know if you wanted g!p or not so i did it with g!p sana)
sana would never have imagined that she’d come home to see that. nayeon lying on her bed, her own clothes on the ground, a few pieces left on the hallway.
instead nayeon wore sana’s shirt, a big one that covered her body to the middle of her thighs, enough to make sana’s mouth water, the silky skin exposed for her.
sana could see what nayeon was doing. she could smell it in the air — it was a heat wave. it made nayeon tremble and buck her hips against sana’s pillow, the soft surface nestled between her soaked thighs not enough to make it go away.
it takes nayeon too long to realize sana had been looking at her. taken by her heat, she can’t bring herself to tell her to go away. she was in sana’s room, wearing her clothes, humping on her pillow, needing her.
“unnie,” sana mutters, and then her hands touches the switch. she thinks about turning the lights on for a brief moment, until nayeon hisses, mumbling a small ‘no’.
“sana,” nayeon calls, breathing out shakily. she takes the pillow from her thighs, throwing it away, and sana can only watch, curious, the dim light preventing her from seeing nayeon fully, in her weakest state. “i need… need…”
unable to complete her sentence, nayeon whimpers. sana feels a sharp pain in her pants, gasping when she realizes how hard she was, all of that a consequence of being inside the nest nayeon made out of her room.
“i know.” sana manages to say, getting closer slowly. nayeon allows her to join on the bed, skin burning from the raw need she felt deep in her stomach, legs spreading as sana settles between them. “wanna help you,” sana finds nayeon’s eyes, watery from the pain of being empty.
“please, sana,” nayeon asks faintly, something sana had waited for in too long. nayeon needed her. nayeon was asking for her.
sana kisses her hungrily, fishing her cock out desperately, feeling nayeon's body trembling under her. sana's knot was already forming around the base and it could only mean that she was rutting, urging to feel nayeon around her.
“this might hurt,” sana says softly, knowing she was big, her heavy cock resting against nayeon’s folds.
“don’t care,” nayeon whimpers, moving her hips subtly, sana’s tip almost sliding in. “i can take it.”
it takes a bit of effort, but sana manages to slide herself all the way in. nayeon mewls in pleasure, wanting that since morning after sana left her, keening at the feeling.
the stretch makes nayeon quiver, but sana has the perfect size to make her entirely full and sated. feels like too much, and that’s exactly what nayeon needs — to be surrounded by sana, filled with her.
“s-sana!” nayeon gasps, feeling the knot prodding at her entrance. sana doesn’t try to push it in, and nayeon knows she won’t, but the possibility of being knotted makes her back arch, whining needily.
“shh, ’s okay unnie,” sana soothes her, grunting at the tight walls clenching around her length, squeezing her cock greedily. “i’ll take care of you.”
the promise makes nayeon cry out, soaking sana’s shaft as she comes, body growing taut as she reaches her first orgasm. sana slows down, not trying to hurt nayeon with more than she could take.
“n-no,” nayeon whines. “don’t s-stop!”
and sana does just that, knowing that there was a lot for them to talk, but that could wait. nayeon was her priority and it’s not like sana can really stop — she can’t, not when nayeon has her trapped between her legs, selfishly searching for relief.

One of my headcanons is that names are borderline sacred in their culture, and only given out and used by people you are very close too. And even though they aren’t on their home world anymore, it’s just habit and natural for them to continue with that tradition. Which is why everyone calls the player twin “Traveler” aside from the abyss sibling, who calls them Aether/Lumine. and why the Traveler never refers to their sibling by name when talking about them to anyone.
(And this brings up something interesting about Dainsleif and the abyss twin’s dynamic, because he’s the only character to have used their name aside from the Traveler, which to me really shows how close they used to be. Even closer than Paimon and the Traveler.)
Oh my god I’ve never heard of anything like this before that’s so interesting
Fuck it I’m incorporating that into my own headcanons now thank you very much! I REALLY like that!
Okay I found this headcanon off someone else on tumblr a while ago but I cannot for the life of me remember who it was so credit to them wherever they are. I feel like Lumine and Aether are just shortened down names of their actual names and that their real names are Aethereal and Luminescent. (Adding my own little meaning behind the names) Aether is named Aethereal as the definition of it is ‘someone or something that is light, airy or heavenly’
I’m gonna take the light thing literally as Aether and Lumine I believe are technically somewhat made of light, with Aether having much more correspondences to sunlight while Lumine moonlight. Plus I feel like the twins are both very ethereal beings. Looking really heavenly. Like Gods almost depending on where they are.
Now Lumine. I believe her name would be Luminescent as the definition of that is ‘emitting light not caused by heat’.
That really matches her as I feel like she’s both physically and metaphorically cold. She has correspondences to moonlight which is much cooler than sunlight is.
Neither of the two really call each other their full name unless it’s something very serious or they are VERY pissed off at each other. Usually is things like ‘Lumi, Loom, Aeth, Ae’ stuff like that! If I find the original poster of their names I’ll reblog them.
Thank you once again for the new headcanon :3

synopsis: a trip back to the states, and old wounds are still healing.
pairing: Wanda Maximoff x fem!poc!reader
ao3 // mom au
a/n: minor angst, and just fluff. mom wanda and mom reader. a longish drabble I wrote a while back. <3 Lumi means “light of life” in Romanian. Have some ideas for lore for this, like on who is Lumi’s biological father, or the grief and recovery Wanda is experiencing with Vision’s and the boys’ death. Perhaps, the reincarnation of the twins. Already envisioning a part for white vision and Wanda. who knows. I’m just getting my feet wet again in writing. if anyone is interested, just pop in my inbox for requests or ideas! enjoy! <3
Tumblr media
“It’s okay, I’ll go to Target.”
A beat of silence.
Her face is so hopeful, but you can feel it; Wanda’s a little unsure. Confined to the mountains of Slovakia, to go back to the Avenger’s compound, Wanda hasn’t been sociable outside of her own self-exile.
The old, familiar woman is returning, the one you met back many years ago. Not so grungy, but refined, and healed. Her roots finally grew out, natural dark chestnut making itself home once more upon her crown.
Your fingers weave in her waves, as hers play with the hem of your blouse, Wanda’s knuckles grazing against the skin of your swelled breast.
Bare with no bra, easier access for breastfeeding, and some fun fondling.
You walk quietly to Wanda, cupping the jut of her elbows, stroking her skin. Gently nodding, whispering ‘If only you’re okay.’ Wanda’s slender fingers encase your hips, a little wider now, more thicker in the thighs since birth.
This touch—- it’s healing as motherly, as a lover.
Wanda’s fingertips trace over healed eczema scars, and thin cuts. Kissing Wanda’s button nose, making it scrunch cutely.
Warm sunshine envelops the home, crisp upstate air bellows against the kitchen’s curtains.
Three years of isolation, and dealing with the shadows of her past, Wanda can finally say she’s happy. Sometimes, the past lingers nearby, it can never be buried, but it can be held with acceptance.
“Get back home, quick.”
-
Visiting the states feels a little eerie.
A sensation of bitterness and melancholy weighs on Wanda, as if she feels being ogled by the public. Many eyes peeled back, watching her every move. The last time Wanda was even here in America —— it didn’t end well.
This little trip back to the States was your idea, to see old friends, and get them acquainted with your new life. You wanted to show the first family you’ve had to see the new one you made.
Some days Wanda thinks she should’ve said no to this trip, but it’s too late now.
The drive to the store was easy, although there was a queasy itch in her throat. She wanted to evaporate into thin air to escape, but for once, Wanda wanted to feel normal in her own skin. At home, using her powers is a natural occurrence, but to do so outside?
She’s not ready.
Three years of healing —- but she’s just not quite there yet.
Wanda hooks the sweater hoodie over her head, discreetly blending in the public. Walking through the maze of the parking lot, with bags in tow. Wanda’s eyes gaze down at the plastic boxed toy peeking from the grocery bag.
A Bratz doll she found in the toy section. One with shiny crinkled waves in its hair, bell bottom jeans, long-sleeved shirt with flowers on it.
It reminded Wanda of you in a way, always dressed so colorful. She just thought it would be a nice addition to the ever growing mountain of dolls in Lumi’s playroom.
Deep in her mind, heading to the car on auto-pilot, but there’s a peculiar sense in the back of Wanda’s mind. Before she can turn around, a sneer calls out to her.
“What are you smiling about?”
Wanda turns, her smile faltering into a confused frown, “I’m sorry, what?” Turning around over her shoulder, she sees two strangers near her car.
“We saw you in the toy section,” a white aging woman stands stiffly, face burning hot red at the cheeks, a vein straining at her neck. Middle-aged woman with a few strands of gray in her hair, a little pudgy on her body.
“Going off to torment another child?”
The man that stands beside her is a familiar face, with a mustache and short brown hair. Realization dawns on her, Wanda knows him, he was one of the many faces back at Westview.
Guilt weighs heavy on her heart, leaning on her feet side by side, her tongue clashing against the cage of her teeth, trying to find the words to ease the anxious tension.
Before Wanda can apologize, the woman cuts her off. “Witch! Have you ever been arrested for what you have done?” Stomping her foot against the concrete floor, becoming unhinged at the very second.
“Hun, c’mon, let’s just go.” The man cowers behind her, trying to keep a lengthy distance between himself and Wanda. But the spiteful woman refuses to back down.
“My husband may be afraid of you, but I’m not.” She was about to come closer but her husband pulled her back. Both of them tussle with each other, as Wanda slowly steps away, and more closer to her car.
“She works with the Avengers, she’s never going to get arrested.”
“Horseshit! The kids back home are still terrified! I’m still terrified! I can still see her nightmares!”
The wife turns back to Wanda, finally escaping out of her husband’s grip, marching towards Wanda. Pointing viciously, charging with no thought in her mind, except to attack.
“I will call the authorities, you will pay for—”
Out of instinct, Wanda’s fingers react, cautiously defending her space—- crimson mist pooling from her palms. Both gasp in terror, leaning onto each other, nearly crumbling at the sight of raw power.
“I told you this was a bad idea,” the man tugs on his wife’s forearm, pulling her to his side, trying to get her away, “She’s going to kill us.” He speaks in a hasty hush.
Wanda’s face drops, her mouth agape into a frown, muttering no no no. Her powers dissipate back into her palms, shaking her head frantically.
“I'm not going to hurt you.”
“You already have!” The wife shrills, crudely pointing at Wanda, shaking and sobbing into her husband’s arms, finally leading her away, disappearing into the lot.
Wanda flinches, her nose scrunches up, trying to swallow her tears. With an awkward defeat to her step, Wanda mutely opens the door to the backseat, putting the bags down.
Just wanting to go back to the compound, and crawl into a hole.
-
The drive back home is becoming harder.
Sniffling, as hot tears escape and trail down her cheeks, pooling at her chin. Her fingers clinging onto the steering wheel, the threaded leather digging into her skin.
She couldn’t even properly swipe her key-card to enter the compound property, shakily fingers nearly punched the alarm system.
Murky thoughts intrude her mind, plaguing her logic, as if punishing herself for all she has done.
‘Why? Why should you be happy? Whenever someone else suffers because of you?’
Her breaths begin to become choppy, and short. Panic creeping slowly, her throat tightening. The cabin is closer now, just down the road.
‘My grief is no excuse.’
Wanda’s hands hastily rotate the wheel, pulling the car along a curve, into a quick park. With a harsh tug of the keys, snuffing the ignition—- the car quiets.
Her forehead meets the steering wheel, her fingers gripping the yolk till her knuckles turn hot white. Sniffling.
Wanda felt that she shouldn’t ever have the opportunity to be a mother all over again, after what happened at WestView, a surge of grief that ended up tormenting innocent children.
Her knees buckled, collapsing on the grass, still clutching the toy against her chest; dry-heaving sobs. Her bottom lip quivering, frustrated tears beaming, trying to hold the swirling crimson tendrils within.
“Mama!”
A click in her mind, snapping back into reality, breathing in a deep breath to calm down.
A little figure waddles out the house, dashing with a confused whine. Small arms wrap around Wanda’s neck, clinging tightly.
Hugging her little body against her chest, Wanda breathes in her scent of baby powder, and milk formula.
“Mama, you okay?” Her voice is soft, such a little baby, yet she seeks to protect. Wanda weakly nods, “Mama’s okay.” Kissing the slope of Lumi’s neck, earning a snuffled giggle.
Standing on edge at the doorway, worry shrouds your face, but once you see Wanda settling to a calm state, your body relaxes. Anxiously your fingertips fiddle against each other, but a swell of ease overwhelms you.
Wanda smiles, eyes closing, her face softening to a glow, with damp lashes, rocking her child back and forth.
It’s worth it, she’s worth it.

As Time Moves On Part 4: The Mystery in Spade
Summary: The reconstruction effort in Spade Kingdom brings about a disturbing revelation. Genre: general Word count: ~1800
..........
The bitter cold was nothing new to the Spade Kingdom. Winters were long and harsh. Summers were fleeting like a breeze. But the people of Spade became resilient over the generations, especially so after the reign of terror that was the Zogratis family.
Thanks to the efforts of Spade’s Resistance Force and Clover Kingdom’s Magic Knights, freedom and peace were restored.
The long night known as the Devil Banishment War was passed. And the people of Spade, with renewed hope and strength, worked to usher in a new era of peace.
…..
“Thanks to the citizens, as well as the aid sent from Heart and Clover, we’re keeping a decent pace for the reconstruction plans we initially put forth.”
“Diamond Kingdom is in a state of political unrest. Not only from the Zogratis annexing some of their territory but also due to internal conflicts. We can’t expect any word from them any time soon.”
“We’ve sent messengers to Lumi Kingdom regarding assistance. There’s no telling how long it will take for them to respond though.”
“Every resident of the capital city has confirmed that they have new lodging. Either within another town or in the nearby tent cities.”
Ciel nodded along as her team of advisors filled her in on the state of affairs. It fell to her to lead her people after the Zogratis family was removed from power. She wished she didn’t have to do it alone, that Loyce was still there sharing the burden.
But Loyce was no longer of this world. He was in a better place. So Ciel made it her duty to restore Spade to the joyous land they’d once led together.
While listening to her advisors, Ciel also concentrated her mana on a spell: Full Moon Haven.
With the spell, she imbued an area with the gentle light of the moon, healing wounds and restoring stamina. She’d learned it years ago, before ever being queen, and in the present, she used it to tend to the many volunteers who toiled to clear debris and find those who were injured or killed during the Devil Banishment War. It was a blessing to have in her grimoire, as it meant she was able to serve her people as kindly as they served her.
“How soon do you think the capital will be rebuilt?” Ciel asked while slowly diminishing her mana output.
“Due to…” Albert, the leader of the resistance and one of Ciel’s advisors, paused and cleared his throat. It was more to break the tension that came with what he was about to say. “Due to the King of Devils leveling most of the capital city, there hasn’t been much large debris so clearing the land has been quick work. However, we can’t proceed quite yet as the task of recovering the bodies of the deceased has come to a standstill. It’s concerning the… high priority ones.”
Ciel’s eyes went wide and she bit the inside of her cheek to keep her face composed.
“I see.”
Ciel finished casting Full Moon Haven and sent off the patients, either to their lodgings or to a more skilled healer for severe wounds. Then, she and the advisors slipped away, towards the shadows of the castle ruins.
There were some questions she would need answered in privacy.
Dante Zogratis, Vanica Zogratis, and Zenon Zogratis of the Dark Triad. Moris Libardirt, former Magic Scholar of the Diamond Kingdom.
While reports from Clover’s Magic Knights attested to their downfalls, Ciel and her advisors had made it a priority to find their bodies again to confirm their deaths. The people of Spade had put their all into the task alongside preparing for the rebuilding of homes. And yet after four months…
“Has nothing from any of them been recovered?”
Ciel’s advisors frowned grimly.
“Are we certain that we’ve checked every possible nook and cranny of the castle? We’ve left no piece of rubble unturned? We haven’t ignored any rooms by accident, have we?” Ciel inquired between deep breaths.
“Your Majesty, we’re sure,” Albert answered and bowed his head slightly. “This was our fifth full area search. We cannot find a trace of them.”
Ciel wrung her hands together. Closed her eyes, squeezed them shut tight. She took deep breaths. Deep, slow, trying-to-prevent-panic breaths. With a final exhale, Ciel opened her eyes and looked her advisors in the eyes.
“Thank you for informing me,” she stated with the grace she’d practiced as queen. “If I may, I ask that I have a moment to myself.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the advisors spoke in unison as they bowed their heads. Then, they turned and left her be.
When Ciel felt sure she was on her own, she let out a heavy sigh. She placed her hands over her heart, feeling its anxious rhythm. After the coup and so many years living in hiding and praying for a miracle, Ciel believed she’d gotten used to being worried. But no, she’d only been used to worrying about the Dark Triad finding her to finish what they’d started.
Now, she feared that they could return and ruin the peace that was still new to the kingdom.
Ciel paced the area.
Yuno’s personal witness testimony detailed how Zenon turned into a devil and how his body crumbled upon defeat. The search for his body had been futile from the start. But that didn’t explain why nothing of Vanica, Dante, or Moris was found. Could it be that their bodies were completely crushed in the rubble? And that only unidentifiable, rotting bits of flesh and bloodstains remained?
Or…
Ciel shuddered.
There were individuals, the Dark Disciples, who earnestly followed the Zogratises. Is it possible that some of them survived and salvaged their leaders’ bodies? And since the Dark Disciples had no qualms about using Forbidden Magic, if the bodies were found… Then…
Her breath caught in her throat.
Vanica’s piercing, maniacal laugh while demanding a fight echoed in her ears.
Zenon’s listless gaze flashed across her mind’s eye, as if burned into her memory.
Dante’s hands and how they so carelessly dropped Loyce’s body to the floor, prepared to take her life next, made her body tremble.
Not again… She didn’t want the terror to return… To lose everything all over again…
Ciel clenched her hands into fists and shook her head.
“Don’t worry. Spade is safe now,” Yuno had said with a hushed confidence. “And I won’t let it come to harm again. As the next Wizard King, it’d be my duty to.”
A half-hearted laugh slipped past Ciel’s lips. Yuno’s statement didn’t make much sense but his heart was in the right place. It was in a place full of hope.
“That’s right…” Ciel told herself. “I can’t give into fear. Not now.”
There wasn’t a chance that Ciel would let herself give up so easily after everything that she and her people had endured. Not after hope in the form of mages from Clover and Heart arrived and chased away the darkness. Not after she got to see the man her son had become and still strove to be.
The Queen of Spade looked to the sky. The clouds were gray as per usual. However, their shade appeared lighter than usual.
…..
“Dear people of Spade Kingdom. I thank you all for gathering today so that I may address you regarding our current reconstruction efforts.”
Ciel’s voice carried across the crowd of people. Their faces showed tiredness and concern but mostly curiosity.
“As of now, we’re making good progress in rebuilding our kingdom.”
Smiles began to appear on people’s faces.
Ciel went on to summarize how clean up has concluded, how foreign aid would continue to be provided, and how resources were being allocated for the various reconstruction projects. The good news that she shared made the people’s moods brighter. And it lightened Ciel’s own heart to know that Spade was already rising up.
All that good news, though, would be soured by the troubling announcement she had to make next.
“There are many good things in store for Spade as we continue to rebuild our kingdom. However, it is with a heavy heart that I also deliver bad news to you all. It is a matter of transparency that I tell you all. While parties worked to recover the bodies of the deceased for proper burials, a select group was tasked with finding the bodies of specific individuals: the Dark Triad and their conspirator Moris Liberdirt. I and my advisors desired to confirm without a reasonable doubt that those four were indeed dead. Unfortunately, nothing of them has been recovered during these last four months.”
The grinning faces fell away and color drained from many complexions.
“As your queen, I apologize for being unable to fully confirm their deaths. I apologize for having to deliver such a frightening message. But I felt that you needed to know, so that you may understand my dedication to putting everyone at ease and giving them reason to have even greater hope, even if I could not follow through this time.
“The Zogratises and Moris haven’t turned up thus far and we might have to consider that their bodies may never turn up. However! We cannot let the memory of the Zogratis family and their actions hold us captive. My dear and brave citizens, I implore you! Let us remember how we have endured and overcome a dark period of our kingdom’s history. Let us bolster our spirits with resolve. We shall rebuild the Spade Kingdom to what it once was and make new memories for the next generation of our people!”
After Ciel’s voice dissipated into the sky, silence permeated the crowd.
Ciel looked upon her people.
Let my prayer resonate with them…
Then,
“For Spade Kingdom!” a voice from the crowd yelled.
“Towards a brighter future!” cried another as they raised their fist.
“Aye!”
“This is our kingdom again!”
“Here here!”
Shouts of determination arose, a testament to how the people had been weakened but not broken.
It was later decided that the corpses of Dante, Vanica, Zenon, and Moris didn’t need to be found. In all likelihood, the Zogratis family and Moris were dead. Their bodies lost to the land and their souls damned for their cruelty. As cold as it sounded, Ciel was glad to think that to be the case.
Uncertainty nestled within Ciel’s heart. However, the memory of her son’s affirmation and the optimistic calls of her citizens drowned out the whisper of fear.

I was tagged by @lumiereandcogsworth to do an ao3 wrapped for 2023! thank you so much, lumi!
works published: 24
word count: 322,730
bookmarks: 2,159
shortest fic: finally home (438 words)
longest fic: Red Lights (42,075 words)
most popular by kudos: late at night
most popular by hits: same as above, seriously yall, I wrote that fic in ten minutes why is it the most popular lmaooo
most popular by comments: still same as above and it honestly hurts my feelings even though I appreciate the love lmaoooo
fic that made me smile: oh my god literally anything that @waltwhitmansbeard wrote, I'm obsessed with her writing.
overall thoughts:
This year I posted so many fics that I really worked hard on and absolutely loved and looking back on them reminds me of those times in my life. When I reread my own fics, I can so clearly remember what was happening in my life and what I was going through and it is partly happy and partly sad to think about it.
Towards the end of this year, I embraced more original writing and I've started to take a step away from writing for Critical Role. That also just breaks my heart because I truly adore so many of the friends that I have because of it and I'm still going to be here and be an avid reader of yalls amazing works. and who knows! maybe my inspiration for cr will suddenly appear!
anyway, that's all I have to say and I hateee tagging people, but I'm going to make myself do it this time lol
@waltwhitmansbeard @ravendruid @crispysnake @ghostofwhitestone @katia-dreamer
