In the mood for a fic...

~*~

1. I'm kind of in the mood for jiang free wangxian fics, where the the extent of jiangs involvement in the plot are just brief mentions / For ITMF, a longer canonverse wangxian fic that doesn't heavily feature Jiang Cheng on page. Canon divergence is very welcome but not mandatory.

~*~

2. hi! do you have any fics where lwj struggles with his sadism? canonverse please and bonus points if they are E rated ;) @chellsky

still waters by piggybo (E, 3k, WangXian, Consensual Kink, Light Sadism, Light Masochism, Outdoor Sex, Painful Sex, Spit As Lube, Kink Discovery, Light Bondage, Internal Conflict, CQL!verse, Post-Canon, not as explicit as the tags make it sound, but still pretty explicit)

bb!Sadist by Betty (T, 3k, WangXian, Non-Sexual Kink, Sadism, Modern AU) not canon but a good read cause it's abt the Struggle

💖 Magical Marriage Ribbons series by starandrea (M, 1M, WIP, wangxian, ongoing, animal transformations, weddings) in the Magical Marriage Ribbons series, Teen!Wangxian continuously need to discuss around LWJ's reluctance to admit what he wants sexually in earlier parts that's very lovely!

~*~

3. Hii!!! Im back for another ITMF! I've been seeing a lot of art of spider-man aus for wangxian and I was wondering if you knew of any fics with either one or both of them having spider-man powers? Thanks so much! @loveshinesbrightly

~*~

4. hiiiii it's me again for the next ITMF I was reading a fiction and lqr said that : "He could definitely picture an alternate reality wherein he didn’t overhear their conversation, and Wangji ended up impulsively withdrawing his entire trust fund to elope cross-country with Wei Wuxian and start a new life together - all to avoid having to face the disapproval of their families." do you know any story where it actually happens ????? thanks✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ @ihaveasoftspotfora-yuan

keep your electric eye on me, babe by ilip13 (M, 6k, WangXian, Modern AU, Fluff, Falling In Love) is mostly a meet-cute fic but does involve lwj running off with wwx at the end

the dream team's xp leveling

this is complex enough that i needed to create a second spreadsheet. i've doomed myself to an eternity of calculations. anyway:

the unsleeping city:

i did the calculations in the spreadsheet this time, so it's a little easier to follow and there's only one round of arithmetic to do. one key difference here is that contextual multipliers are more common. for the unsleeping city, i used contextual multipliers for the number of opponents as well as other complicating factors that will be listed with each encounter.

mutant santa melee: i separated this encounter into three categories: the mutant santas, the spawn point chrysalis, and the big santa.

mutant santas: based on their hp counts and damage outputs, i'd place the standard mutant santas at CR 1/4, so 50 XP each for 600, with a 2x contextual multiplier because of 1) the number of mutant santas and 2) the complicating factors both the captured santa and things like pete's wild magic surges. total of 1200 XP

the chrysalis: only CR 1/4 because sofia kicked it into the sky. 50 XP

big santa: CR 2, based on damage output and how much it took to kill it. 450 XP

total XP count: 1700 XP, or ~283 XP each

scramble in the sewers: this encounter was fairly standard, and would not be that difficult traditionally; i included the 1.5x multiplier to account for the water level mechanics and the fact that a bunch of the party was trying not to drown while killing the rat king.

rat swarms: CR 1/4. they chased after minor illusion cheese. 75 XP

the beefy boys: technically they are using crocodile stats, at CR 1/2 each. i know this because kug brings them back later on. total of 600 XP

rat king: i'd put him at around a CR 4; with the multiplier that becomes 1650 XP

total XP count: 2325 XP, or ~387 XP each

the war of bugs and rats: first fully standard encounter; varying CRs for each of the opponents, but other than that no major complications

becky the wasp-centaur: based on her level of spellcasting, i'd put her at around CR 5, or 1800 XP

beetle: less challenging than becky at a CR 3 (700 XP). he's gonna have to kill ya.

roaches: proportionally more of them, but they were easy to take care of. CR 1/2, total of 800 XP.

swarms of bugs: same deal as the roaches. CR 1/2, for a total of 200 XP.

bugsters: i went through and calculated DPR and their stats and settled on CR 1, for a total of 800 XP

total XP count: 4300 XP, or 716 each

subway skirmish: only a minor (1.25x) modifier this time, for alejandro summoning the train to nod and the fact that they were sacrificing spell slots to fuel it. this fight notably steps up from the previous fight; recall "i'm gonna kill that dog".

crooked cops: total of 12, but they only defeat 8. CR 4 (1100 XP) for a total of 11000 XP.

epona cirillo: i used her stats & the stats of her weapon to set her CR at 5 (1800 XP), for a total of 2250 XP

total XP count: 13250 XP, or 2208 each

panic at the art show: 1.5x modifier for the environmental hazards; namely the building being on fire adn the fact that they had to evacuate while in combat.

isabella infierno: succubi are CR 4, so i evaluated her stats, which landed her around a CR 8 (3900 XP) for a total of 5850 XP.

artsy devils: standard barbed devil stat block; CR 5 (1800 XP) for a total of 10800 XP

total XP count: 16650 XP, or 2775 each

broadway brawl: another modified (1.5x) fight, due to misty's ritual mechanics and the fact that they needed to fight and perform at the same time.

queen titania: compared a few fey spellcasters from the bestiary and landed on her being around CR 13 (10000 XP), based on her spell use and magic items. total of 15000 XP

seelie dancers: used their stats and dpr to set them at CR 3 (700 XP). total of 4200 XP

pixie mobsters: standard pixie statblocks, but they have guns and kidnapped stephen sondheim, so i upgraded them to CR 1/2 (100 XP). total of 450 XP

total XP count: 19650 XP, or 3275 each

showdown at the stock exchange: this fight was notably difficult; pete dying, the complication of the ritual, and eventually reducing moses to his phylactery.

kiosk vampires: they're blood-drinker vampires; CR 8 (3900 XP), for a total of 31200 XP.

robert moses: using standard lich stats, he's CR 21. i adjusted this with a modifier of .75, because they did reduce him to the phylactery, but the ritual still went off. he wasn't defeated.

total XP count: 55950 XP, or 9325 each

times squaremageddon: the final fight; harder than the kalvaxus fight, easier than the nightmare forest. the american dream is a modified version of robert moses' stats, and has a 1.5x modifier for the individual appeal mechanics and the storm mechanics.

fire maelstrom: not technically elementals, but using similar enough abilities that i'd rate it CR 5 (1800 XP) for a total of 3600

wind maelstrom: same deal as the fire maelstroms: CR 5 (1800 XP), total of 3600

robert moses' american dream: based on a solar (celestial, ac 21, etc.) i would give it a CR 21, but based on the combination with robert's phylactery and the fact that they were fighting on multiple fronts, i'd rate it a CR 23 (50000 XP), for a total of 75000.

total XP count: 82200 XP, or 13700 each.

the unsleeping city total: 196025, or 32670 each. using the overall method of xp leveling (cumulative benchmarks), this would put the dream team at around level 7, as opposed to the level 10 they achieved through milestone leveling.

the unsleeping city chapter ii:

same deal with the contextual modifiers; this season features multiple tower defense fights that require modifiers.

the mystery of the haunted subway: while this fight featured a wide variety of adversaries, many were easily defeated. no modifiers on this fight; it's very straightforward. uses mostly standard statblocks.

zombies: standard zombie statblock; CR 1/4 (50 XP), total of 250 XP

ghosts: standard ghost statblock including the aging ability; CR 4 (1100 XP), total of 4400 XP

skeletons: standard skeleton statblock; CR 1/4 (50 XP), total of 200 XP

werewolf: standard werewolf statblock; CR 3 (700 XP)

vampires: using the vampire spawn statblock puts them at CR 5 (1800 XP), for a total of 5400

spiders: using the giant spider statblock; CR 1 (200 XP), total of 600 XP.

witch: there isn't really a standard witch statblock that i'd consider for this one; based on her DPR, i'd rank her CR 7 (2900 XP)

frankenstein's monster: again, one without a standard statblock; the closest undead i could find was a greater zombie, which was CR 5 (1800 XP)

mad scientist: another one without a standard statblock; i'd place him around CR 6 (2300 XP)

total XP count: 18550 XP, or 3092 each

trouble at the tunnel: this fight gets modifiers because of 1) the number of devils coming to fight them and 2) the ritual mechanics for jj, much like the subway skirmish.

swarm devils: i used the spined devil statblock for these; CR 2 (450 XP), with a 1.5x modifier for the sheer number, even though the dream team could oneshot them very easily. total of 13500 XP

siege devils: couldn't find a standard statblock, but based on their dpr and abilities, i'd mark each of them at CR 10, with a 1.25 modifier for the number. total of 22125 XP

jersey devil: high level spellcaster with legendary actions; CR 14 (11500 XP). with modification, total of 14375 XP

total XP count: 50000 XP, or 8333 each. this happened organically.

parade of peril: i will admit, this had the potential to be a really difficult fight. brennan rolled so bad and the intrepid heroes rolled pretty well. i rewatched this to estimate stats and he really fails so much during this combat. still, i left modifiers for the difficulty of fighting on the balloons.

true clowns: what a truly goofy concept. based on dpr and the wild magic surge ability, i'd put them at CR 6 (2300 XP) for a total of 27600 XP

balloon dogs: cute but vicious; CR 3 (700 XP), for a total of 3150 when modified.

total XP count: 30750, or 5125 each

fight at the museum: pretty similar to the clown fight in difficulty--specific conditions that complicate a battle with mid-level opponents. brennan rolled way better, so even if the encounters were of similar difficulty, this one came across as more difficult.

animated armor: basically beefed up animated armor. instead of CR 1, i'd put these at CR 5 (1800 XP), with a 1.5x modifier for the historicity & exploration mechanics. total of 10800

plate & bardings: these are the knights that were originally surrounding the unicorn. CR 6 (2300 XP) each, with a 1.5x modifier, for a total of 13800.

total XP count: 24600 XP, or 4100 each

the battle of the hot dog cart: another tower defense; each enemy wasn't that difficult to deal with, but the fact that they had significant numbers and siege weaponry contributed to the difficulty of this fight. the other thing that contributed was cody's existential crisis.

ant legionnaires: based on their dpr and other stats, i'd put them at CR 2 (450 XP), with a 2x modifier for the sheer number of them. total of 41400 XP

ant centurions: CR 4 (1100 XP), with a 1.5 modifier to account for cody's no good very bad day. total of 9900 XP

ketchupults: based on dpr? CR 6, for a total of 4600 XP

mustard wagon: also CR 6 because it was a construct that kingston basically oneshotted with a lightning bolt. 2300 XP

total XP count: 58200 XP, or 9700 each

history checks & lost dex: this fight is tricky, because it's only the one opponent, but they had multiple critical objectives to get through during it, and most of the time weren't actively doing battle.

null: based on his abilities, he's a combination of a nightwalker and some variation of a mind flayer; i'd say some kind of spellcaster or psychic. based on the combination of abilities, as well as the stun vs ability conditions he was able to inflict, i'd put null at a CR 23 (50000 XP) with a modifier of 1.3333 to account for the objectives.

total XP count: 66665 XP, or 11111 each

treachery at gramercy: another fight with a bunch of opponents. this time, we have tony simos as the big opponent. given the objective of stopping the flow of raw umbra and the fact that sofie resurrected her husband amid pitched battle, i'm including a 1.5x modifier.

concrete fist monks: not powerful enough for evasion, so based on monk stats i'd place them at a CR 5 (1800 XP). total of 16200 XP

gramercy wizards: enough spell slots to do multiple dispel magics and counterspells, as well as banishment. 7th-8th level, so CR 8 (3900 XP) for a total of 23400 XP

tony simos: 20th level open hand monk with a couple of modifications; immunity to stun, mageslayer, mobile, legendary actions, and the ability to disrupt verbal and somatic components of spells. with all that in mind, i put him at a CR 21 (33000 XP), for a total of 49500 due to the fight complications.

total XP count: 89100 XP, or 14850 each

two sides of the same coin: the finale fight. another tower defense with hordes, plus the baby ritual. originally this fight would have had a 1.5x modifier or one that was even higher; i reduced that to 1.25x because of kingston's divine intervention granting advantage on everything, resistance to all damage, and disadvantage to null. brilliant narrative move; it just made the battle less difficult.

sparties: we finally found out their ac (19). i read somewhere that they were based on wights, but that didn't really matter to me because doing the calculations set them at CR 3 (700 XP) anyway. total of 35000 XP

corporate wraiths: standard wraiths; CR 5 (1800 XP), for a total of 11250 XP

null: as shown in the ellis island fight, i placed him at CR 23, this time with a 1.25 modifier, for a total of 62500 XP

total XP count: 108750 XP, or 18125 each.

the unsleeping city chapter ii total: 446615 XP, or 74435 each. using the overall leveling method, this would take them from the level 7 they technically would have earned in TUC to level 12, which is exactly where they ended in this chapter

overall total and final comments:

over the course of two seasons, the dream team earned 642640 XP, or 107106 XP individually, which was enough to get them to level 12.

there's some notable differences in the way that combats are structured between the unsleeping city and fantasy high:

the party composition is different; the bad kids are a mix of spellcasters and martial characters who eventually multiclass to get spells, while the dream team all have some magical element to what they do. the party is majority full casters, and everyone else is either a paladin or a multiclass, in both seasons.

for the dream team. combats are balanced to reflect the fact that they can do a ton of AOE crowd control as well as melee combat, but don't have a tank or ranged weaponry.

each of the full casters is specialized; pete is a glass cannon, kingston heals & buffs, misty/rowan buffs and charms while covering debuffs including counterspell, kugrash tends to work with summons and their buffs, and iga has a mix of damage and mobility/utility.

for the partials: sofia's spells generally go to personal buffs, while ricky does a lot of protection, and cody's spells go further towards damage.

in contrast, for the bad kids, combats are balanced to reflect the opposite; they have range, melee, a tank, and some spellcasting damage, but not a ton of AOE.

caster specialties: adaine's spell list leans towards utility & divination, with ranged spell attacks and concentration spells for her damage. fig, like misty, works with charm, fear, and buffs/debuffs, and a bunch of fire damage. kristen has a lot of buffs/debuffs and heals, as well as spells like spirit guardians.

for the partials: fabian's spells generally go to damage rolls and buffs, while gorgug has minor repair & healing, and riz's only known spell at the moment is silvery barbs.

the bad kids start at lower level, going from 1-8 in freshman year, 8-9 in sophomore year, and starting at 10 in junior year, while the dream team starts at level 3 and goes to 10 in chapter i, and then from 10-12 in chapter ii. thus the dream team starts with higher level opponents earlier.

the bad kids generally face fewer opponents than the dream team; their structure is generally 6-10 smaller opponents and 1-2 larger bosses, or multiple bosses that they have to deal with. they are generally facing their opponents in standard environments, so i don't assign them contextual modifiers unless they have a specific objective or mechanical disadvantage.

by contrast, the dream team is more likely to have mechanical objectives and obstacles that further complicate their combat scenarios. in chapter ii, half of their fights feature 20+ opponents, if not more. there are three separate tower defense combats. thus, they get more contextual modifiers.

setting wise, the bad kids have more humanoid opponents that they have specific conflicts with, starting with doreen and johnny spells, going all the way to penelope and dayne in the finale of freshman year.

the dream team has a couple of those, but they're generally facing a magically-induced threat, like the bugsters from chapter i, or the animated armor from chapter ii.

and that's it for this time.

Mobster!Steve Rogers x reader Part 1

Request: Can you write about mob steve. Reader doesn't know that he is a mafia so she kinda rude to him. Make it fluff and smut 😘😘 . Thank you . Happy birthday 🥳🥳 and i love your writing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Warnings: swearing, talk of past abusive relationship, (photo not mine, credit to owner)

>Part 2>

You hated clubs. They were filled with unwanted wondering hands. They were loud, and because they were loud, it meant you had beer fumes being breathed against your ear as some creep tried to get in your pants. Not your idea of a fun night. But the worst part tonight, the straw that broke the camels back, was when your ex showed up. Brock Rumlow was the worst mistake of your life.

"He misses you," A friend had whispered. "Why don't you talk to him? Maybe try give things another go." She smiled excitedly. "I know he wants to, he told me."

It was a set up. Most likely by him, and that was dangerous, it meant you had to get away from him, before he got mad.

So you made an excuse up about needing the ladies and ran for it. You could hear your heart pounding in your ears as you made it to the other side of the club, but you weren't safe. Brock knew you like the back of his hand, so he followed you.

You could curse yourself for wearing heels, it was harder to run away as he followed after you, shouting your name. You wiped your tears away as you began walking down a dark hallway to get away, only to crash into a wall of solid muscle.

"Fuck!" You dropped to your knees and quickly collected your purse, seriously considering just leaving it's contents on the floor.

"Apology accepted." A deep voice sighed above you.

You huffed and abruptly stood up. "I didn't apologise."

"I know." The same voice growled.

You rolled your eyes as you hooked your bag over your shoulder as you sniffled. "Excuse me." You pushed passed the group of men, only to have your wrist grabbed. You let out a startled gasp, expecting to see Brock but it wasn't. You narrowed your glare at the bearded blond, "What? Gonna scold me for not apologising?"

He shook his head as he frowned at you, "You're crying... And scared."

Your brow furrowed in confusion. "What?"

"Steve, we've gotta-" A dark-haired man spoke from behind you, being cut off by the blond.

"Did something happen to you? Are you hurt?" His voice was filled with worry as he let go of your hand.

You shook your head, "N-No, I just, need to leave."

The brunet let out a small chuckle, "Not this way, doll, this is private."

"Didn't you see the sign?" Another man asked. "Pretty hard to miss." He offered you a soft smile.

You shook your head, "I... Sorry, I should-"

"No," 'Steve' stepped in front of you, holding his hands up in front of him when you flinched. "Look, you're clearly distressed and upset, so why don't you come back to my office. You can have a stiff drink, and then tell us what's happened." He smiled softly, nodding his head.

You nodded after a quick look back towards the way you'd just come. Anything was better than Brock, right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Brock, Rumlow?" Steve glared at the screen in front of him and the footage from the nights security camera's. "Who is he?" Steve looked up.

You let out a heavy sigh as you stared into your empty glass. "My ex... My, abusive, ex." You looked over at Steve. "We broke up... Nearly four months ago, but he can't seem to get it into his head, I don't want anything to do with him. I've had to change my number, change my locks... I've even spotted him a couple of times following me."

"Did you tell the police?" Steve asked, knowing the answer.

You nodded, "They said I was crazy. Without any evidence, there was nothing they could do." You sighed, "I'm sorry, you don't need to be hearing this."

Steve shook his head as he got up from where he sat behind his desk. "It's okay, Y/N."

"Yeah. Stevie's always had a soft spot for damsels in distress." Bucky, the brunet, sent you a teasing wink making you smile.

Steve glared at him, "You and Sam go locate Mr Rumlow."

Bucky nodded, "And do what to him?"

Your brow furrowed at his words as you looked up at Steve.

He shook his head. "Keep an eye on him, and let me know where he is. I'm gonna make sure, Y/N, gets home okay." Steve gave you a reassuring smile.

You opened your mouth to protest but Bucky and Sam had already left Steve's office. There was a moment of silence between the two of you before Steve cleared his throat and stood from his chair before moving towards you.

"This, Brock guy... He hit you?" Steve asked as he sat down beside you on the leather sofa.

You looked up to meet his knowing gaze and nodded, "He would usually rough me up a bit during sex he demanded we have." You whispered lowering your head. "Or, grab a hold of me, and squeezed a little too hard..." You shook your head and let out a short chuckle. "He'd never do anything anyone could see."

Steve shook his head as he let out a heavy sigh. "M'sorry, doll," He frowned at you, "You shouldn't have had to deal with the that. Not from someone who's meant to care 'bout you."

"Brock never cared about me." You admitted, more to yourself than Steve.

Steve placed his hand on your knee and gave a soft squeeze. "Sounds like you're better off without that asshole, doll." He offered you a playful smile making you smile. The sound of his cell drew his attention away from you.

You watched as Steve stood up and went back over to his desk. He picked his cell up and read something before slipping it into his pocket.

"'kay, let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning whilst you were cleaning your breakfast things away there was a knock on your apartment door. You froze, straining your hearing for any sign that it might be Brock.

You never saw Brock again last night as you Steve walked through his club, his hand in yours. You'd found yourself taking hold of it when you were startled by some guy trying to grab a hold of you. It was silly but for some reason you felt safe. Steve didn't mind, he just pulled you closer to him.

Once the two of you were outside, Steve ushered you into a black car before he followed you in asking for your address. Before you knew it, you were saying goodnight to Steve outside your apartment door.

With a shaky breath you peaked through the peep hole, letting put a relieved sigh and opened the door, smiling politely at the delivery man that held a bunch of flowers. "Hello?"

"Miss Y/N?" The yound man smiled at you. You nodded with a furrowed brow. "These are for you. Have a good day."

You stared down at the flowers that you held with an opened mouth. You couldn't remember the last time you received flowers. Definitely never received any from Brock. With the door shut, you pulled out the small card that was with the flowers.

Let me take you to dinner tonight. Steve

On the back was his number. You shook your head with a smile as you placed the gorgeous flowers on to the coffee table.

You pulled out your cell and dialled the number, as you waited you thought back to last night. You thought back to what Steve had said to you before you wished him goodnight.

"If you were mine, I'd treat you like a Queen." Steve smiled at you as he leaned against the wall.

You rolled your eyes, "How many times have you said that, to a woman?" You asked as you finally unlocked your door.

Steve shook his head. "Never. But I mean it. I'd take care of you." He whispered.

"I was wondering if you'd call." Steve answered. You could hear the smirk in his tone.

"How'd you know it was me?" You asked curiously, sitting down on the sofa.

Steve let out a low chuckle, "Just did, doll. So, dinner tonight. You like Italian? Or do you prefer something else?"

"I haven't said yes, yet." You rolled your eyes but smiled nonetheless.

Steve let out a low chcukle, "Sweetheart, you wouldn't have called, if you were saying no." He spoke softly, his voice sending shivers down your spine.

"I like talian." You whispered. "Thank you for the flowers." You smiled and reached out to gently touch the petals.

"You're welcome, doll. My ma always told me, 'you gift a pretty dame flowers on a date, to start it with a smile'."

You felt your cheeks begin to blush at his words. "Well... I am smiling."

How would you describe Clarke and Lexa's fashion style in each au?

Oh lord, how much time do you have???

I'm only gonna do like my 'main' AU's I guess because, with the number of AUs I have we could be here all day. As general rule in my au's, Lexa dresses more feminine while Clarke dresses more masculine.

The act of falling in love: they both dress like high society people in Victorian times, although since this is omegaverse it's a little less conservative. Clarke's all about the long coats and vests with a golden pocket watch (a present from her dad when she got married). Lexa loves to wear more off the shoulder dresses (since she's married she's allowed to show more of her neck and shoulders since it shows her mating mark) and since she volunteers at the orphanage she goes for more simpler styles most days. The alpha is supposed to be the one to pick the omega's clothing and make sure they dress "appropriately" but with Lexa being in charge of their estate and finances, she's actually the one who dresses both herself and Clarke (Lexa is the sole reason Clarke is seen as gallant in the town, because if Lexa wasn't the one dressing her you would probably confuse her for a paper boy)

Double Edged Sword: Heiress Lexa lives her life in chanel and prada outfits, she just dresses like she's rich rich. She lives the high life and she loves it. She's a high heels afficionado even if she now lives in a town where it snows all the time and the roads are held together with thoughts and prayers., she will still wear those heels and that skirt that is honestly a little tighter than it would be allowed was she not the CEO of Trikru. Also has a lingerie collection that costs more than my whole life. On the other hand Clarke has maybe 2 pairs of jeans and some leather pants, a good 10 shirts, a blazer jacket that Abby bought her just so she'll have something a little fancier to wear, one pair of heels she used one (1) time, some boots that have been through hell and back and her leather jacket of course, her baby that goes oh so wonderfully with her bike. She has two bras, one that really fits and one that kinda fits for when the one that fits just really needs to be thrown in the washer. A simple girl with simple needs. And too much leather.

To Birth a Queendom: Clarke just dresses like a prince charming. She looks, she talks and she dresses like a prince charming, which in her defense it was all she ever though she would be. It's the blue jackets with long tails and golden details, that was how Jake used to dress and it helps Clarke feel more comfortable in the role of Queen, even if she doesn't feel like a Queen, she hopes to at least look like one. Lexa was used to more full coverage dresses, very royal and elegant but stiff and harsh, never too pompous. Now that she's in Arcadia, her fashion sense if forced to be more jovial and relaxed, she wears more jewels, her dresses are more princess like, although she always finds a way to add a a side cape like fabric that brings to her outfits a more authoritarian look.

Military Clarke: Clarke's very sporty, Lexa's very cozy. Unless they have to go somewhere and dress nice, then they go the whole nine yards to make sure everyone knows they are the hottest couple in town.

Burst Your Knees Caps/ Mobster daughter AU: Leather and more leather for the both of them. Clarke is leather pants and leather jackets with tight white tank tops that fit her just 🤤👌. Lexa is leather dresses and leather knee high boots that will make you turn your head, realize who she is and turn your head back around before she decides to kill you.

Farm Clexa: They share a lot of their wardrobe. Cozy knitted sweaters and soo much flannel. Lexa prefers jeans and shorts or long patterned skirts and summer dresses and huge summer hats. Most of her chores around the tiny farm are about taking care of the animals daily needs and tend to their massive vegetable garden and she also the one who takes care of the house chores - she jokes Clarke isn't house trained - so she wears more comfrtable light clothing while Clarke just loves her blue overalls, they are old and worn and mended all around and they has a massive pocket where she keeps everything from pens and paint brushes to gum and little flowers to all the tools she uses around the farm, since she's in charge of the little repairs here and there.

Cam Girls AU: Since the whole fic is just them having sex, Lexa loves lingerie, from the sexy black ones to the pink girly ones with bows and hearts. Clarke loves a good about-to-spill Calvin Klein bra and a cute matching boy shorts to match.

Amor Mortis AU: Think Lestat from Interview with a Vampire and you got Clarke's fashion sense. Romantic and a boyish feminine vibe down to the blonde curls and open little gay white pirate shirt. Lexa is all about big dresses and corsets and neck fully on display trying her best too look like the most deliciously tasty vampire bait history has ever since 😌

#they way this isnt even HALF of my AU's... please 😩😩😩#i was contemplating going to my pinterest boards and put pictures of their style but i dont ya'll care that much xD #letter opened #this is a little lack luster but oh well xD

Danganronpa: 10th anniversary outfits review!

So…quick thought here…I have almost no context for any other character outside of dr1, so if u like some of these characters, and I say something construed as mean…sorry?

(Under the cut):

DANGANRONPA 1:

Makoto Naegi: 7/10

It’s fine, really. Nothing extravagant, nothing stupid

Kiyotaka Ishimaru: 7/10

The only thing I have to say is that I like the color scheme: it takes from his school uniform, and that palette looks great on him!

Byakuya Togami: 8/10

I like it. The fur coat works for his personality, and the color palette works as well.

Mondo Ōwada: 9/10

I’m not exactly sure what this is supposed to be, but it looks great! The palette looks nice and the coat & pants have a really cool design on them.

Leon Kuwata: 7/10

The plaid looks nice, but in all honesty, I don’t really think it fits his character well.

Hifumi Yamada: 9/10

Not gonna lie…I’m actually loving the pinstripes! He kinda looks like a mobster from Guys and Dolls, and considering that’s one of my favorite musicals, it gets an instant high score from me!

Yasuhiro Hagakure: 9/10

That color combo looks really good on him! I’m kinda glad Spike Chunsoft loves putting Hiro in bright clothes, since they fit so well on him!

Sayaka Maizono: 8/10

It’s fairly basic…but it’s cute at least. Also, I like the little detail that she’s holding a yellow rose, since those mean both friendship, and more commonly, jealousy

Kyoko Kirigiri: 7/10

It’s fine. I don’t hate it, but I think they could’ve done a bit better. In all honesty, I think it would’ve been cool if they put her into a “little black dress” like the one in breakfast at Tiffany’s: simple, but elegant nonetheless.

Aoi Asahina: 9/10

I am fully willing to admit I’m biased, so I will. I’m in LOVE with this dress, and Aoi’s rockin’ it!

Tōko Fukawa: 9/10

I really like this dress! The colors, the accessory, the design, her hair, it’s all great!

Sakura Ōgami: 10/10

YESSS QUEEN FUCK IT UUUPPPPP

Honestly, I love this Kimono! The bright pink and yellow, the (I’m assuming) Chrysanthemums, her hair and the decorations, I love it all, and she looks stunning!

Celestia Ludenberg: 7/10

I…kinda like it? The palette’s nice, and the general feel of it is regal-esque, but I personally kinda don’t like it. I feel like they should’ve gone with something more Victorian or Rococo style for her

Junko Enoshima: 10/10

I’m in LOVE with this dress, and it looks gorgeous! I especially love the little masque that pays homage to Monokuma, and the crown being used as kinda like a hairtie! It really looks like something a fashionista would wear!

Chihiro Fujisaki: 7/10

WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE A LEPRECHAUN AHAHAHAH

I don’t hate it, but they could’ve been just a bit more creative, I think.

Overall: 0/10, no Mukuro outfit

Jk, 8/10

Danganronpa 2

Hajime Hinata: 8/10

I like the white tux, but it looks like a lot of his palette was just eyedropped from his uniform

Rat Man (more commonly known as Nagito Komaeda): 9/10

I love the way this tux looks on him! The white jacket looks great, and so do the designs on it!

Byakuya Togami: 7/10

It’s alright. Nothing bad, nothing new. Maybe if they gave him a different tux design I wouldn’t mind, but as it is, it’s just fine

Gundham Tanaka: 9/10

I really like the accent colors, and the boa is a nice touch as well

I love the hamsters’ outfits! They’re adorable!!

Kazuichi Sōda: 6/10

This isn’t bad, but it just, once again, looks like they just eyedropped his normal uniform colors onto a tux. It’s not bad, but it does feel a bit lazy

Teruteru Hanamura: 9/10

This might seem like an unpopular opinion (and it is)…but I love this outfit! It’s cute, the accent colors and accessories themselves are cute, and Teruteru’s the only boy wearing a cummerbund (fun fact!)

Nekomaru Nidai: 9/10

I’m in LOVE with this guy’s design

I really like the double-breasted jacket (that’s actually what it’s called, I’m not being horny), and the colors look great on him! My only complaint is the fact that he’s wearing boaters. They’re not bad shoes, but I just don’t get why he’s wearing them

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: 7/10

I like his color scheme, but if there were any place to put pinstripes, it’s this guy, due to his title. Also, what’s with the rolled up pants? Is he wanting to wear shorts? He does look like a kid…

Akane Owari: 10/10

I ADORE THIS ONE. The pants, the blouse, the color, the CAPE…HOO BOOOYYYYY

Chiaki Nanami: 8/10

I like the color scheme, but, again, the dress seems a little plain. She’s the ultimate gamer, and you’re telling me you can’t reference a video game dress? Really?

Sonia Nevermind: 10/10

I am IN LOOOVEEEE WITH THIS DESIGNNNNN

the way this dress looks is GORGEOUS, and the palette is, once again, beautiful

Hiyoko Saionji: 8/10

It’s a very cute design, but I feel like the colors could be a bit more matched

Mahiru Koizumi: 9/10

GORGEOUS. I have no other words.

No thoughts, head empty, only GORGEOUS

Mikan Tsumiki: 5/10

Eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I…don’t like this one

The way it shows so much skin feels a bit weird, considering fanon states some kinda physical/sexual abuse for Mikan. The only thing I like is the color scheme

The pillbox hat & color scheme makes me think of Jackie Kennedy, so why not put her in something like that? Something a bit more conservative, but still pretty

Ibuki Mioda: 9/10

I really like this one! It seems a bit avant-garde, & I respect that for a character like ibuki

Not to mention it just looks pretty in general

Peko Pekoyama: 8/10

I love the monochrome color scheme and the way her Kimono looks, and her accessories look great as well!

Overall: 8/10!

Danganronpa V3

Rantaro Amami: 8/10

Meh, it looks good, but I think it’s kinda bland

Kokichi Ōma: 7/10

The outfit looks great, but this dude’s HAIR…DISGOSTANG

Like…it’s long enough to put into a rat-man ponytail, so why not do THAT?

K1-B0: 10/10

You know I’m right.

Gonta Gokuhara: 9/10

I like the color scheme a lot, and the chequerboard looks great on him! What a gentleman!

Shuichi Saihara: 5/10

I’m just not a fan of tweed…but also, this just doesn’t look good on him. What they should’ve done was give him something in a different color palette. Maybe reference a 1940s suit for extra levity!

Korekiyo shingūji: 7/10

Idk…everything’s’ fitting together, but at the same time…not. I do like the hakama, tho, & the color palette is once again, eyedropped

Ryoma Hoshi: 9/10

I love the color scheme, the pinstripes look great, and I love both the gloves and the fedora!

Kaito Momota: 7/10

He just kinda looks, once again, like a formal version of his school uniform. It doesn’t look bad, but there’s gotta be something more creative than that

Kaede Akamatsu: 8/10

I really like the color scheme and her decorations, and the ruffles look adorable! It gives off a very “goddess of flowers” vibe, and I love it

Miu Iruma: 100/10

BAHAHAHA WHY DOES SHE LOOK LIKE JEANNE FROM BAYONETTA?

NO SERIOUSLY LOOK:

In all seriousness tho, I do love the dress, it’s so sophisticated and the color palette/ accessories only complement the outfit

Tsumugi Shirogane: 8/10

Meh, the dress is cute, and the color scheme looks nice, but I just kinda wish they swapped the colors of the boa and dress. I think that’d look better

Tenko Chabashira: 9/10

She looks like Willy Wonka……but it works. I like the short skirt-pants, the hose, and overall, it looks great!

We need more people wearing cummerbunds!

(Number of kids wearing cummerbunds: 2)

Kirumi Tōjo: 8/10

She kinda looks like a character from……Genshin, I think? Either way, it looks pretty, but I think they could’ve done better.

Maki Harukawa: 6/10

I don’t really understand the color situation: why is the bodice pink, but the bottom a gradient from eggshell white to egg yolk yellow? If they’d chosen better colors I think I might like the dress better

Himiko Yumeno: 10/10

I love this dress. It’s so cute, and the use of translucent, glittery fabric really makes it look whimsical! She looks like a magical girl, which I guess is the point

Angie Yonaga: 9/10

I’m not exactly sure what she’s wearing, but I do love the colors. They fit really well, and it looks good on her!

Overall: 8/10

Connie and Carla

I know nothing about this film requested by Chad other than the following facts: It was Nia Vardalos’s follow-up to the indie smash hit My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and it was universally reviled by audiences and critics alike. So I’m in for a fun afternoon! The plot is your basic Some Like It Hot ripoff - Connie (Vardalos) and Carla (Toni Collette) are childhood best friends who have spent their whole lives performing together, believing they are destined for musical theater greatness. After witnessing a murder, they go on the run and hide out in the last place anyone would think to look for them - as women pretending to be men pretending to be women, aka performers in a drag queen bar in L.A. Everything’s going great until a BOY shows up (David Duchovny), and Connie falls for him. Gender gags, musical theater numbers, mistaken identify, Russian mobsters, hijinks - yeah, we’ve all drunk this cocktail before. So was this top shelf, or something found in a plastic jug at the gas station? Well...

How about a mid-level ridiculous flavored vodka? Like Pinnacle Whipped Cream or something. The film’s conceptions of gender (and of straight women’s feelings of entitlement to what should be LGBTQ spaces) are not my favorite. But its heart is in the right place and overall this leads to something pretty fun and charming, especially if you happen to love musical theater.

Some thoughts:

If there were an airport lounge where I could watch two sad 30-somethings singing a medley of musical theater’s greatest hits, I would go there every day. I wouldn’t even book a flight, that would just be my favorite bar. I think I would go broke driving to the airport every day and buying drinks in this lounge. I’d have my birthday party there.

Oh I love Greg Gruenberg in a bit part as the cheesy celebrity bus tour guide in L.A.

Hello David Duchovny as Jeff! He was my first celebrity crush, and his aw shucks nice guy thing in this movie is really working for me.

This is wildly offensive to drag queens not because of stereotypes, but because no drag act would ever come so ill-prepared with a Rocky Horror number. I recognize that in 2004 we didn’t have over a decade of RuPaul’s Drag Race under our belts, but c’mon, even the most sheltered Midwestern queer would come with something better than this.

Is this supposed to be some kind of feminist statement about beauty standards in L.A.? This anti-botox rant Connie and Carla go on, and the makeover of the woman in the salon - no no no, straight hair and beige lipstick is Bad but curly hair and lip liner is Good. It feels confusing that we’re supposed to see this as empowering when we’re just trading one commodified flavor of femininity for another.

There’s something that just feels deeply wrong about these women taking one of the only paying drag gigs in town, particularly when actual drag performers come to them and beg them to open up their act to include other drag queens. Note that they all offer up tangible skills - I can sew a dress in 3 hours, I can do incredible makeup, I’ve got great choreography. Yes Connie and Carla can sing, but drag is meant to be performative - the artifice is part of what makes it an art form. Smarter queer people than me have written about this, but even for the uneducated, there’s something about this concept that feels off, wrong and exploitative, and deeply rooted in straight privilege. It’s the same icky feeling I get at the gay bar when all the seats for the drag show are taken up by straight women’s bachelorette parties, while actual queer women and men who came to see the show are pushed to standing room.

Ok, I do kind of love these interludes with Tibor (Boris McGiver) looking for the girls in every dinner theater and Broadway show in the country and the only show playing is Mame every time. Fun fact - McGiver’s father actually starred in the 1974 version of Mame!

Feels a little weird that Connie is the one who is explaining to Jeff why drag queens “like to dress up.” Is this being an ally or just erasing and talking over queer folks’ experiences? This is what I mean when I say it feels off - I don’t think it’s malicious, but the way the film handles queer stories feels like a dismissal, an invalidation. Like these straight women can do queer camp better than these gay men.

Did Carla literally just say “I need to get out of this closet”????

Connie is literally the worst at maintaining a cover. The trappings of fame are proving too alluring!

As far as performances go, Collette and Vardalos have great chemistry, and Duchovny is being pretty dreamy as the romantic lead who’s around because he’s trying to reconnect with his estranged brother, Robert (Stephen Spinella). Nobody is winning an acting award for this, but Collette especially is a lot of bubbly fun.

Jeff is a difficult character to grapple with. On the one hand, he doesn’t always handle Robert’s sexuality with grace or compassion, and that can be difficult to watch as a queer person because we all have experienced that same kind of look, that tone of “why can’t you just be normal?” However, he’s putting in an honest effort to grow, and I think that should count for something. Also he straight up gets sexually assaulted by Connie, so I don’t blame him for having a hard time feeling comfortable around the drag queen scene. And that’s another fucked up thing, just adding to the “gay men are predatory and will put the moves on straight guys at the first chance” stereotype.

Even though it sounds cringey as hell when he says it, I’m sure it is probably cathartic for any gay kid who stumbles across this movie and hears Jeff make his big speech about “I should have just loved you and accepted you and not cared about the fact that you wear dresses.” That’s what I mean when I say the script seems to have its heart in the right place even though the way it’s expressing a lot of these ideas just reinforces the status quo rather than interrogating it, or propping up the stories of people who live outside that status quo.

My god, do I love Debbie Reynolds in this head-to-toe red glitter number.

Yeah I don’t think all these queens would take this kindly to being lied to and having their act infiltrated by a couple of straight women. Like this feels laughably “all’s well that ends well.”

Did I Cry? Ok, a tear slipped out when Jeff and Robert hugged for the first time.

This was a very interesting watch. I know I seem to be dragging this shit out of this movie, but I actually largely enjoyed the experience of watching it. It’s got a very 2004-esque view of some complex gender and sexuality issues (and wouldn’t it have been so much more interesting if a queer person had written this and was able to use it to interrogate issues of femininity and its performance as it relates to queerness?). BUT, honestly, the whole thing is Shakespearean in its plot and its broad strokes characters. You’ve got crossdressing, mistaken identity, some light gay panic, long lost brothers reuniting - all that’s missing is a Duke and a forest setting, and you’ve got half of Shakespeare’s comedies right there. And much like Shakespeare, there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done before - it’s the medium parts of Some Like It Hot, the general plot of Sister Act (swap nuns for drag queens), the gender panic of every cross-dressing movie. All very surface-level stuff but there’s a reason these same kind of stories have been putting butts in seats for 400 years.

This is a harrowing read, and in the end you may ask yourself, as I asked myself: how was the nation not protected from such criminality? Decades of organized crime involvement culminated in the most corrupt and dangerous president in American history, one who now presides over a reeling nation in the throes of a deadly pandemic.

We watch in horror and disbelief, daily, as he ineptly--or maliciously--mismanages the nation’s response to covid-19, contributing to a death toll expected to surpass that of the Vietnam War...twice. How did we get here?

This is must reading.

***

IN THE EARLY 1980s it was decided—by whom, and for what ultimate purpose, we can’t say for sure—that Donald John Trump would build a casino complex in Atlantic City, New Jersey—probably the most mobbed-up municipality in the state. Dealing with the mafia might have dissuaded some developers from pursuing a Boardwalk Empire, but not Trump. He was uniquely suited to forge ahead.

Donald’s father, the Queens real estate developer Fred Trump, had worked closely with Genovese-associated and -owned construction entities since building the Shore Haven development in 1947, when Donald was still in diapers (the first time around). Fred was an early mob adopter, the underworld equivalent of an investor who bought shares of Coca-Cola stock in 1919. The timelines is important to remember here. Organized crime did not exist in any meaningful way in the United States until Prohibition. Born in 1905, Fred Trump was just two years younger than Meyer Lansky, the gangster who more or less invented money laundering. Thus, Donald Trump is second generation mobbed-up.

When Donald first ventured from Queens to the pizzazzier borough of Manhattan in the seventies, he entered into a joint business deal with “Big” Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino syndicate, and Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, of the Genovese family he knew well through his father and their mutual lawyer Roy Cohn. As part of this arrangement, Trump agreed to buy concrete from a company operated jointly by the two families—and pay a hefty premium for the privilege. Only then, with double mob approval, could he move forward with the Trump Tower and Trump Plaza projects. (Among Cohn’s other clients at the time was Rupert Murdoch, whom he introduced to Trump in the seventies; you would be hard pressed to find three more atrocious human beings).

Atlantic City is in South Jersey, closer to Philadelphia than New York, so to build “his” casino, Trump needed to play ball with the Philly mob. That meant dealing with Nicodemo “Little Nicky” Scarfo, head of the most powerful mob family in Philadelphia. Land that Trump needed for his casino was owned by Salvie Testa and Frank Narducci, Jr.—hit men for Scarfo, collectively known around town as the Young Executioners (the nickname was not ironic). To help negotiate the deal, Trump hired Patrick McGahn, a Philly-based attorney known to have truck with the Scarfo family.

(The last name should sound familiar; Don McGahn, the former White House Counsel, is Patrick McGahn’s nephew. And Don McGahn is not the only Trump Administration hire with ties to the Philly mob. Among Little Nicky’s associates was one Jimmy “The Brute” DiNatale, whose daughter, Denise Fitzpatrick, is the mother of none other than Kellyanne Conway. A number of wiseguys paid their respects at DiNatale’s 1983 funeral. I don’t want to make the mistake of condemning Conway or Don McGahn for the sins of their relations. But given Trump’s OC background, it’s fair to question why he chose two children of mobbed-up families for his inner White House circle.)

Trump acquired the needed Atlantic City property at twice the market value: $1.1 million for a lot that sold for $195k five years before. But there were legal pratfalls, shady dealings, chicanery with the documents. The New Jersey Gaming Commission was investigating the matter, because casino owners could not, by law, associate with criminals. And most of Trump’s friends were crooks. It looked like Trump was in trouble—not only of losing his gaming license, but of criminal indictment.

And then, something miraculous happened. On 4 November 1986, Scarfo and eleven of his associates were indicted on charges that included loan sharking, extortion and conducting an illegal gambling business in a racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors had tried for years to take down Little Nicky. And now, after all that time, they finally had their evidence. Not only that, but the investigation into Trump? It went away. Poof—as if it never existed.

A confidential informant, or “CI,” is a mole run by law enforcement within a criminal enterprise. Not a “rat,” whose treachery is well known to his comrades, but a craftier, more duplicitous breed of rodent. Crimes committed by the CI are overlooked, or allowed to continue unabated, in exchange for good intelligence—“treasure,” as Control calls it in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

A fictional example of a CI is the Greek, a character on the show The Wire (spoiler ahead). Baltimore law enforcement piece together that the Greek is the head of a crime syndicate that deals in narcotics and human trafficking. But when they finally move to arrest him, the operation is kibboshed by the feds, for whom the Greek is a Confidential Informant. This is extremely frustrating for viewers of the show, who rightly regard the Greek as the cause of so much woe in West Baltimore.

In real life, there are two famous examples. The first is Whitey Bulger, the head of the so-called Winter Hill Gang, which operated for decades in Somerville, Massachusetts. In 1975, Bulger became a Confidential Informant for the FBI, handled by a corrupt agent named John Connolly. His intelligence helped take down a rival mob family in Providence, Rhode Island—a city notorious for the influence of organized crime. In exchange, Connolly allowed Bulger and his associates to operate with impunity. At least 19 people were killed by the Winter Hill Gang while the feds looked the other way. When the FBI finally realized its mistake, Connolly tipped off Bulger, who went on the lam for 16 years. He was finally arrested in 2011; by then he was in his eighties. He was killed in prison seven years later.

The second famous CI is Donald Trump’s former associate Felix Sater. Racketeering charges against him back in 1998 ended with a fine of just $25,000—a slap on the wrist. From then on, Sater become a top echelon confidential informant, feeding law enforcement intelligence of “a depth and breadth rarely seen,” as court filings show. “His cooperation has covered a stunning array of subject matter, ranging from sophisticated local and international criminal activity to matters involving the world’s most dangerous terrorists and rogue states.”

The winsome ex-con, still one of the more puzzling figures of Trump/Russia, “continuously worked with prosecutors and law enforcement agents to provide information crucial to the conviction of over 20 different individuals, including those responsible for committing massive financial fraud, members of La Cosa Nostra organized crime families and international cyber-criminals,” prosecutors claim. “Additionally, Sater provided the United States intelligence community with highly sensitive information in an effort to help the government combat terrorists and rogue states.”

His intelligence helped prosecutors break up the “Pump and Dump” and “Boiler Room” mob operations in the 1990s. He turned over useful information about the Genovese crime family (note: the same family Fred Trump fronted for), and provided ample dirt on international arms dealing (note: Jeffrey Epstein’s specialty). And his crowning achievement: he helped the United States track down Osama bin Laden (funny how the Russian mob knew where he was). Sater is proud of his CI work, and has talked it up the last few years, probably to counter his association with the mafiya, and with Trump.

We know about Bulger being a CI because his handler turned out to be crooked. We know about Sater being a CI because he outed himself prior to his sentencing in 2009—and because he keeps boasting about it. If Sater had not come forward, Loretta Lynch, the former Attorney General, would not have been legally permitted to reveal his status.

That’s the thing about Confidential Informants: they are confidential. The informant doesn’t want to be made as a mole, any more than law enforcement wants to burn a source. Both sides are bound to secrecy. It is the good guy version of omertà.

The only way to know for sure if Donald John Trump is a Confidential Informant is if he admits it himself (unlikely), or if law enforcement comes forward (illegal). But the circumstantial evidence is compelling. The pattern is: 1) Trump deals with mobsters as usual; 2) Law enforcement begins investigating Trump; 3) Mobsters suddenly get busted, while 4) investigation into Trump is scuttled. This happened three times that we know about. I’m not counting the first known instance of Trump providing information to prosecutors, concerning Cody and concrete, in the late 70s:

I can conceive of no scenario in which Trump was not a CI, and a top echelon one at that. He’s avoided indictment too many times. No one is that lucky.

Or, put another way: How can someone that lucky manage to run a fucking casino into the ground?

Salvatore Gravano, known as “Sammy the Bull,” was an underboss of the Gambino crime family. After the assassination of “Big” Paul Castellano in 1985—an audacious hit, done in broad daylight—John Gotti was installed as the figurehead capo. But in practice, the Bull was the one calling the shots. His territory? Manhattan. For as long as he was in power, any construction that took place in New York, New York had to be approved by Gravano. “I literally controlled Manhattan,” he told ABC News. He did a lot of business deals with Donald John Trump, and speaks of him fondly.

After his arrest on 11 December 1990, Gravano turned state’s evidence to help put away Gotti, his nominal boss. The lead prosecutor of the case? Robert Swan Mueller III. (This is why, when Trump found out Mueller was named Special Counsel, he collapsed into a chair and muttered, “I’m fucked.”)

We know that Gravano flipped on Gotti. But who flipped on Sammy the Bull?

On 19 July 1990, the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) of the State of New Jersey opened an investigation into Donald John Trump, regarding the Trump Organization’s business dealings with Joseph Weichselbaum, a mob associate and embezzler who had been convicted not once, not twice, but three times. Trump hired Weichselbaum’s company to provide helicopter transportation to Atlantic City, conveying high rollers to and from New York. As a casino owner, Trump was prohibited by law to do any business with the serial felon. He not only continued to do so, but he went to bat for the guy, going so far as to write him a letter of recommendation. (There’s more bizarre stuff with Wiechselbaum, whose case wound up being initially tried by Trump’s sister, a federal judge, but I won’t get into it here).

Six months after the DGE opened its investigation, Gravano got pinched. And once again, as if by the wave of a magic wand, Trump’s legal troubles seemed to vanish.

It’s worth noting here that Sammy the Bull likes Trump personally, then and now, and seems not to blame him for ratting him out. There were likely others who informed on Gravano, too. But given the timing, the investigation against Trump, his disastrous finances at the time, and his long familiarity with federal prosecutors, it stands to reason that Trump, too, turned on his longtime business associate.

The Kurt & Courtney decade was unkind to Donald John Trump. The Bush I recession hit his businesses hard. Trump filed for bankruptcy protection for Trump Taj Mahal (1991) and Trump Plaza (1992). Again: our “lucky” guy had managed to go bust in the casino business. In between those bankruptcy filings, he lobbied Congress for tax relief for real estate developers, began phoning reporters claiming to be a publicist named John Barron, had an affair with a D-list actress named Marla Maples, and divorced his wife of 14 years, the mother of his kids Donald, Ivanka, and Eric: the former Ivana Zelníčková. (Sidenote: Ivana Trump’s father was a big wheel in Czechoslovakia’s Státní bezpečnost intelligence service; Miloš Zelníček helped raise his grandchildren, especially Don Jr., who speaks fluent Czech…but this is a subject for another dispatch).

Things were going south fast. Trump desperately needed a lifeline. He found one in Moscow.

The Soviet Union collapsed on Christmas Day 1991. What the West viewed as the triumph of capitalism over communism was really the subversion of a conventional superpower by the shadowy forces of transnational crime. The Cold War was not over; it just shifted modes of attack. In the early 90s, Russia invaded the United States—not with soldiers, but with mobsters.

The commander of this underworld incursion was a violent ex-con named Vyacheslav Ivankov, known as “Yaopnchik,” or “Little Japanese.” Hardened in the brutal Soviet prison system, Ivankov was a member of the vor y zakone, or thieves-in-law—the arm of the Russian mafiya that originated in the post-Second World War gulags. He was such a nasty, violent motherfucker that when it was necessary to rough someone up to extort them, he didn’t send in a subordinate—he did the job himself.

Ivankov arrived to the United States in 1992, ostensibly to work in the film industry. Even the new Russian government warned the FBI that he was up to no good. The feds lost sight of him almost immediately, even as he traveled from New York to Florida and everywhere in between, consolidating power, and displacing the Italian mob. (That brazen 1985 hit on “Big” Paul Castellano was instrumental in achieving this Vor hegemony, as the Gambino boss neither liked nor trusted the Russians). Per the testimony of Bob Levinson, the FBI’s foremost Russian mob expert:

Ivankov’s organization’s income was derived from a number of sources: his group was implicated by sources to have been involved in the “gasoline tax scam” whereby so-called “daisy-chains” of petroleum handling companies were established with the specific intention of defrauding governmental tax authorities using non-existent or ghost companies to pay the gasoline taxes due.

A primary source of the group’s funds was the collection of “krisha” or protection money from wealthy Russian and Eurasian businessmen operating between North America and the former Soviet republics. In addition, the Ivankov organization organized the collection of, in effect, a “street tax” from Russian-born and Eastern European criminals who were operating their illegal enterprises in North America. Ivankov organization members fanned out across the United States and Canada identifying and then approaching these criminals saying that each now had to contribute to an “obshak” (mutual benefit fund) being collected and organized by the Ivankov group.

In addition, Ivankov and other members of his organization settled business disputes for Russian and Eastern European businessmen operating between North America and the former Soviet Union, receiving in return a percentage of the amount in dispute, usually hundreds of thousands of dollars. Through his authority as a “thief-inlaw” and the head of a criminal organization, Ivankov was able to exercise a kind of informal power in the émigré business community tantamount to decisions made by formal, official courts of law. Those who went against the decisions made by Ivankov and his associates were usually met with violence, including beatings and/or murder.

As Little Japanese worked the States, Semion Mogilevich, the current head of the Russian mob, set up his base of operations in Budapest, Hungary, where he moved in 1992 with his Hungarian girlfriend. “The Brainy Don,” as he is called, soon acquired a bank in Russia, which allowed him access to the global financial system. Meyer Lanksy may have invented money laundering, but it was Mogilevich who took it to Hollywood, so to speak: Lansky wrote the book, and the Brainy Don made it into an international blockbuster. (Note: Levinson, the FBI agent, moved to Budapest around this time, to investigate Mogilevich more closely.)

For three fruitful years, Ivankov did his thing, laying the foundation for what would become the world’s pre-eminent organized crime operation—more S.P.E.C.T.R.E. than GoodFellas. He ran amok. Law enforcement had no idea where he was….until, one day in 1995, they found him living in a deluxe apartment at—you’re not gonna believe it—Trump Tower. And that was not the only Trump property he frequented: Ivankov was also a regular at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. He was arrested in June of 1995, convicted, imprisoned, and deported to Russia in 2004 to face murder changes. Once home, he was promptly acquitted. He was gunned down in Moscow in 2009.

This monster was living in Trump’s building, gambling in Trump’s casino.

What was Donald John Trump doing in 1995? Failing tremendously. That was the year when he declared a loss of an unfathomable $916 million on his tax returns. It was also at this time that Trump Tower became a sort of Moscow on Fifth Avenue, with any number of Russian mobsters scooping up apartments—an arrangement that began in 1984, when the Russian mobster David Bogatin purchased five condos for $6 million. Trump Tower was one of just two buildings in all of New York City that allowed units to be purchased by shell companies. Why did Trump, virtually alone among New Yorkers, allow these fishy deals?

As the indefatigable Craig Unger writes in the Washington Post,

the shady Bogatin deal began a 35-year relationship between Trump and Russian organized crime. Mind you, this was a period during which the disintegration of the Soviet Union had opened a fire-hose-like torrent of hundreds of billions of dollars in flight capital from oligarchs, wealthy apparatchiks and mobsters in Russia and its satellites. And who better to launder so much money for the Russians than Trump — selling them multimillion-dollar condos at top dollar, with little or no apparent scrutiny of who was buying them.

Over the next three decades, dozens of lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, mortgage brokers and other white-collar professionals came together to facilitate such transactions on a massive scale. According to a BuzzFeed investigation, more than 1,300 condos, one-fifth of all Trump-branded condos sold in the United States since the 1980s, were shifted “in secretive, all-cash transactions that enable buyers to avoid legal scrutiny by shielding their finances and identities.”

Unger continues:

The Trump Organization has dismissed money laundering charges as unsubstantiated, and because it is so difficult to penetrate the shell companies that purchased these condos, it is almost impossible for reporters — or, for that matter, anyone without subpoena power — to determine how much money laundering by Russians went through Trump-branded properties. But Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist, put it this way to me: “Early on, Trump came to the conclusion that it is better to do business with crooks than with honest people. Crooks have two big advantages. First, they’re prepared to pay more money than honest people. And second, they will always lose if you sue them because they are known to be crooks.”

It is simply inconceivable that a creature of the underworld, a man who had extensive dealings with mob figures for his entire career, would, in a moment of dire need, be unaware that mobsters were buying his properties, using shell companies to conceal the origin of the dirty rubles.

It is also inconceivable that a mobbed-up real estate developer—a crook whom the government of Australia would not grant a gaming license because of his obvious mob connections; the subject of a 41-page initial investigation by the Department of Gaming Enforcement in the State of New Jersey that, taken together, is positively damning—could have avoided indictment for all these years unless he was covertly helping out law enforcement. Trump is a criminal, yes, but his crimes are not as heinous as Ivankov’s, or Gravano’s, or Scarfo’s. Prosecutors would happily toss a minnow like Trump back into the sea if it helped them catch the big fish.

Nothing about Trump’s term as president suggests he’s turned his back on organized crime. He hasn’t “gone legit.” His Twitter antagonists comprise a “Who’s Who” of the FBI’s Russian mob experts: Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Lisa Page. He has attacked the credibility of those who know what he really is. That is what made Trump’s attacks on Mueller so ironic. He impugned the former FBI director as corrupt, while depending on his incorruptibility to not reveal his (alleged) CI status.

To reiterate: we cannot know for sure if Trump was a CI unless he admits to being one (maybe Yamiche Alcindor can goad him into admitting it?), or if the federal prosecutors in the know break protocol to expose him.

As it stands, prominent G-men have given us clues. When McCabe was fired, he began his statement thus: “I have been an FBI Special Agent for over 21 years. I spent half of that time investigating Russian Organized Crime as a street agent and Supervisor in New York City.” The subtext there is that McCabe knows who Trump is.

In the excerpt of his book Higher Loyalty sent to the press, James Comey compared Trump to Gravano. “The [loyalty] demand was like Sammy the Bull’s Cosa Nostra induction ceremony—with Trump in the role of the family boss asking me if I have what it takes to be a ‘made man.’ ” Of all the famous mafiosos, why did Comey choose Gravano, a relatively obscure figure, as the comp? He wants us to dig into Gravano.

(Gravano himself was asked about the Comey pull-quote by Jerry Capeci of Gangland News; he said, “The country doesn’t need a bookworm as president, it needs a mob boss. You don’t need a Harvard graduate to deal with these people…[Putin, Kim, Xi] are real gangsters. You need a fucking gangster to deal with these people.” This seems to indicate that Sammy the Bull thinks Trump is a “mob boss” and a “fucking gangster.” Takes one to know one?)

Unless he thought it would help him avoid prison, Trump will never cop to being a Confidential Informant. We can only infer that he served that function by presenting the circumstantial evidence to support the hypothesis. But plenty of people can confirm or deny (rather than refuse to confirm or deny) Trump’s involvement. Bob Mueller, certainly, but every prosecutor too that dealt with Scarfo, Gravano, and Ivankov, and plenty of smaller cases besides.

When a Confidential Informant is deliberately fucking up the federal government’s response to a pandemic—when his willful negligence will cost hundreds of thousands if not millions of American lives—protocol must be sacrificed for the greater good. Is not the purpose of that law, of all laws, to protect the people from enemies foreign and domestic? And has not the COVID-19 response, or lack thereof, proven Trump to be an active enemy of the United States?

We don’t need more careful legalese. We don’t need more cryptic phrasings along the lines of “If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.” We need to hear, loud and clear, what the FBI knows. We need to be told, unequivocally, that Trump is an inveterate crook—a real crook; an actual criminal; not just a cute Twitter assertion—and, even more surprising, and contrary to all recent evidence, that he is capable of telling the truth when it serves him.

This piece was written under the expert guidance of Lincoln’s Bible. If you don’t already do so, please follow her on Twitter, and check out her own mafiya reporting at Citjourno.

I encourage everyone to read the State of New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement investigation report on the allegations against Donald John Trump in the Wayne Barrett book Trump: The Deals and the Downfall.

The late Bob Levinson was the FBI’s best Russian mob fighter. His Ivankov testimony is also essential reading.

Miss White & The Unlawful Seven

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Inspired by these wonderful creations by Ástor Alexander.

1. A Fairytale Beginning

Once upon a time in there lived a man named Franz Weiß. He moved over to New York City from Berlin. When the war broke out in 1914 he anglicised his name to Frank White. But most people called him The Duke. The Duke was in charge of one of the biggest drugs operations in the city.

In 1920 The Duke courted a young nightclub singer called Ruby Scarlett. Later that year Ruby died giving birth to a daughter Frank named Scarlett White. As the babe grew into a free spirited young girl she gained the nickname 'Snow' due to her pale complexion. Frank knew that Snow needed a mother figure in her life so married Orla Kelly, daughter of an Irish Mobster which also allowed him to expand his territory.

Snow was an observant child and soon began to learn the ways of the drug trade under her father's guidance. Much to the chargrin of Orla and the Irish Mob, The Duke was clearly lining Snow up to be his successor. Then in 1936 tragedy struck as Frank White got caught in crossfire after a job gone wrong, leaving Snow all alone, save for a stepmother who despised her.

2. Across the Bridge

Now Orla was a jealous woman. Jealous of the love Frank had for his daughter over herself. Jealous of Snow's beauty. Jealous of her youth. And so she ordered a hit on the teenager.

Hunter Murphy was Orla's weapon of choice. Hunter was a cold blooded killer through and through, with plenty of notches on his Smith & Wesson M&P. He was the best at what he did, but what he did wasn't nice.

He followed Snow one night to the edge of Manhattan. But something tugged at his conscience. This wasn't right. Snow was barely a dame. A hit on a 16 year old? There were some lines even Hunter Murphy wouldn't cross.

'Get yourself across the bridge, kid,' he growled, stepping out of the shadows. 'Lay low. There's a price on ya head. If Orla finds out you're alive we're both in the firing line. Find a quiet job in Brooklyn somewhere. Don't ever come back. I can't guarantee you'll be safe there, but at least you'll have a chance.

Snow saw something in Hunter's eye. She knew he wasn't bluffing. Across the bridge she ran, and she never looked back.

3. The Unlawful Seven

Hungry, cold and penniless, Snow found her way to a little restaurant called Pizza Cottage. She went round the back alley, and started to check the bins for any leftovers. That was was Happy Tony, the chef, came out with some more bin bags. He saw the teenager in the moonlight.

'Who's there?' he asked, cocking a gun. 'Show yasself!'

Snow nervously stepped forward. She'd been around enough gangsters in here life to know what to do in this situation.

'Whatcha doin' kid, huh? Rummaging round da bins like dat? Come inside, I'll bake yous a fresh one.'

Snow shuffled behind the chef. It was only then she noticed that he was shorter than her, his presence before had commanded her attention and made him seem bigger, scarier. But as he led her to a booth she noticed a warmth about him.

'Sit down here, kid. I'll grab you a pizza and you can tell me your story.'

Soon they were sharing the biggest Margherita Snow had seen in her life.

'I'm an orphan,' she explained, keeping details vague. 'I've nowhere to go. Trying to find a job, but no luck yet.'

'Well, I think your lucks just rolled in, kid. Just so happens I'm in need of a waitress. Pay ain't great, but there's a room upstairs if ya need it. And you'd have protection.'

'Protection?'

'Oh yeah. Just so happens kid, that you wandered in to the hangout of the Seven Dons of Brooklyn. So yeah, you'd be under our protection.'

Now Snow had never had to deal with the Seven Dons before, her father's business being the other side of the East River, but she'd heard of their reputation. These were the meanest mobsters the Mafia had to offer. Goddamn she'd gotten lucky.

'Doc' Salvino ran a numbers game all over the borough. 'Sleepy' Santoro was the person to visit if you needed someone to visit the fishes. 'Bashful' Gambini was less tactful than Sleepy; you went to him to send a message if someone wasn't toeing the line. 'Sneezy' Spinelli had the cops in his pocket. You so much as sneezed, Spinelli would hear about it. 'Dopey' DeVito was their drugs man. 'Grumpy' Minaldi was the head. He'd set the whole operation up, was older than the rest by a good thirty years. He didn't need to do anything, he had his reputation. And if you called him Grumpy to his face, well let's just say, you would be needing yours anymore. And Happy, well his restaurant was the front.

All were just as short as each other, but all commanded respect.

4. A Call to Arms

As the months turned into years Snow, now going by the name Scarlett Franks, kept her head down and gained the trust of the Seven Dons. She was a particular favourite of Don Minaldi, meaning she enjoyed a status not many others did. If any of the diners forgot their place and so much looked at her the wrong way, they were taken care of appropriately.

But news of this pretty young woman made its way across the river to the ears of Orla Kelly. And she knew who this Miss Franks really was. First she dispatched Hunter Murphy for his betrayal. Then she sent a calling card to Snow; an advert in the Eagle. A full page spread with her face leering out for all to see. And a caption, 'June is soon upon us and we all know Snow melts away with the heat.'

Snow knew she'd been found out.

She had no choice but to come clean to the Dons in the hope that the 4 years she had spent with them meant something.

Once she had told he tale there was silence. Until Minaldi said with a glint in his eye, 'I've always wanted an excuse to get those Irish bastards!'

With 2 weeks until June 1st, the presumptive date of attack, Sleeping trained Snow in how to use a gun. It turned out she was a natural sharpshooter. She also trained with Bashful in hand to hand combat in case it got up close and personal. Sneezy alerted his cops as to what was going to go down. They'd be waiting in the sidelines to assist the Italians and arrest the Irish.

And then the day came.

5. Showdown

Snow and the Seven had barricaded themselves in Happy's restaurant. They had men stationed around the streets.

As soon as the clock struck midnight on the morning of Saturday June 1st the gunfire began. Distant at first as Orla and her men made their way across the bridge. But steadily it got closer, until rapidly it burst across the glass window from the mouth of a machine gun.

Snow ducked behind the counter, gripping her own M1941. The bullets stopped flying. Their turn.

Snow jumped up. 'Say hello to my little friends,' she quipped as the Dons came out of their own hiding spots. They sprayed the Irish mobsters with storm of slugs, taking them down where they stood.

And then, silence again.

A flash of light caught Snow's eye as the moon reflected off the barrel of a pistol. Out of the rubble cam Orla, a crazed look on her face. She pointed the gun straight at Snow.

'Eat lead, bitch.'

6. The End

Snow opened her eyes. She was lying in a hospital bed.

'Glad to see you're up, kid.' Happy's voice drifted across the room to her. She sat up, looked around, and found him. Then she found her voice.

'What happened?'

'Grumpy jumped in front of the bullet. It passed through him then hit you. But he slowed it down enough to save your life. He... He didn't make it.'

Snow reached out and placed her hand on Happy's as a tear ran down his face.

'Thanks, kid,' he managed to sniff. Pulling himself together he continued. 'We took care of the Kellys, they won't cause you any more trouble. And your dad's territory is yours again. Turns out Orla wasn't the Golden Queen she made herself out to be after all. Most of The Duke's old crew turned on her as soon as they saw the opportunity arise. But we gotta place on the council of Dons now. There's gotta be seven of us. How about it?'

'But I'm not an Italian.'

'You are as far as we're concerned. And we always wanted to expand into Manhattan. It'd be an honour to do it alongside you, kid.'

'You're sure?'

'As eggs is eggs. Besides, it's what old Grumpy would've wanted.'

'Then let's do it.'

'Alrighty, Miss White, let's do this. Though as a member of the Seven, I think Don Bianca would be more appropriate, don't you?'

And they all lived happily ever after.

To The Top - 1

pairing: mob! tom holland x mob! reader

warnings: none? idk it's a mob fic

word count: a ugly 1.2k

Your heels clicked along the floor as you made your way around the venue.

People stared at you in awe or fear as you strutted through the crowds of people.

No one dared to come up to you though, knowing that you were powerful and dangerous. You were the second most powerful mob leader in the city of London.

You never associated with other mobs or went to many meetings. They were pointless to you, you had all the money and power you needed, everyone that you've thought about having ties with usually just wanted you for your power, so you immediately shut it all down and threw them away.

The only other mob leader that you were comfortable having a close connection with was the biggest mobster in London. The man that kept you from being at the top.

Tom Holland.

He was incredibly powerful, it was almost frightening for you. Almost.

Your father and Dominic Holland were best friends, they actually wanted to connect the mobs together so that when it was time for them to step down they would still stay powerful.

But those plans didn't happen when a threat was sent to your father's mob. A threat made by Dom.

He didn't understand why someone so close to him would threaten him like that, a threat to hurt his family if he didn't give money, they were gonna tie their mobs together so none of it made sense.

But when it was time for you and Tom to take over your families mob, you both agreed to drop the feud that your father's had created and decided to just do separate things.

Dom was furious with Tom, but ended up understanding in the end, knowing that it was for the best especially when someone else was the King.

You on the other hand, you just hoped that your father wasn't looking down at you for it. He had died a couple months after handing you the mob, you were the Queen of it, so what you said, went.

Your mother lived a simple peaceful life in Sheffield, she had never had anything to do with mobs, she always stayed out of it which was good.

You constantly went to visit her and always checked in with her. Although she had nothing to do with the mob, it didn't stop others from going and attacking loved ones.

You stared from a distance looking at the leader who sat in a booth, his right hand man Harrison and his twin brothers on either one of his sides.

Girls hung around the area, hoping to catch Tom's eye, but he couldn't care less about them at the moment. He was at the event to do business and have a good time. No girls.

You noticed the two men that stood at the front of the booth, keeping watch of whoever dared to get closer to the area, shooing away any desperate girls, and telling other leaders off since he wasn't gonna talk business for a while.

But did that ever stop you?

You confidently strutted up to the two men and looked both of them up and down, sticking your leg out of the slit of your dress.

“I'm here to talk to Tom Holland.”

“Sorry ma'am, he's not doing business right now, or girls.” One of them spoke, looking down at you.

You smirked, “I'm sure he'll have an exception for me.”

“And who are you exactly?” The two of them glanced at each other before crossing their arms and turning their attention towards you again.

“Y/N Y/L/N.” You smirked at the two of them as their eyes slightly widened.

“Our apologies, right this way.” They stepped aside and nodded at you, to which you nodded back and walked right past them and towards the man that sat comfortably on the couch.

You stood in front of their small table which immediately caught their attention.

“Y/N Y/L/N.” Tom smirked at you and you returned one.

“Tom Holland, it's always decent seeing you around.” You noticed Harrison move away from Tom, making room so that you'd be able to sit next to him.

“Thought I told my men no more talks for a bit?” He muttered as you sat down.

“Convinced them that you'd most likely make an exception.” You grabbed a glass and poured yourself a drink before looking back up at the mobster who chuckled at your comment.

“So talk then darlin’, what do you need from me?”

“I need your help, which is so odd to say considering I do everything on my own, but that's besides the point-” you started, his brows raised, surprised at your words.

“I got a threat, threatening to hurt my mother and kill my men and basically attack me if I didn't give them what they wanted, but here's the issue. They didn't tell me what they wanted, and they mentioned you.”

Harrison, Sam, and Harry immediately started to listen, Tom taking all the information in.

“Said that they'd hurt your mob as well along with your family.”

Tom tensed up and glanced at his brothers, he cared about his family more than anything. They could go ahead and destroy his mob, but threatening his family? You were asking to get killed.

“Must be because our mobs were gonna get tied together before we took over.”

“How long ago did you get the threat?” Harry looked at you.

“Two days ago.”

“Is there any hints or clues as to who it could be from, did they give you a date? Anything?”

You shook your head, “Don't think so. I'll send it to you tomorrow, but I know it didn't give me a date it just said that they will hurt my beloved mother and mob along with Tom Holland's if not given what we want and deserve.”

The mobster sighed and let out a breath, “Harry text the family and let them know that they should be on alert and to be prepared to go into hiding.”

The brother nodded and immediately pulled out his phone.

“So guess we're gonna be a team now huh?” Tom smirked at you and you gave a cheeky smile sipping your drink.

“Guess so Holland.”

You exchanged numbers with him, which was a surprise to you both that you didn't have them already.

Instead of leaving you decided to stay and hang with the boys for a bit, they insisted anyway.

“So Tom, where are all the girls at?” You cocked a brow at him, he was a ladies man, girls swoon over him and he'd always have one wrapped around his arm for a night.

“I'm a changed man Y/N, the mobs been hectic and seems to be getting crazier now.” He playfully rolled his eyes at you, and you scoffed.

“Haz when was the last time he had a girl?”

“Like last week.” Harrison snickered as Tom flipped him off, you laughed and shook your head.

You placed your cup on the table and looked at the four boys that sat around.

“Well it's been fun, but I'm gonna head out.”

“What? It's only-” Sam checked his watch, “1 AM.”

You looked at him and lightly laughed.

“Exactly, I got a home to get to, and a bed that's calling my name.”

“She needs her beauty sleep Sam.” Tom chuckled, looking you up and down.

“That's right Holland, anyways, I'll see you boys around.” You gave them a smile and walked away, knowing that they were staring at you.

You turned around and gave a flirty wave before disappearing out of their sight.

Klance - John Wick au part 1

Lance and Keith were both incredibly renowned assassins in the criminal underbelly.

They’re legends - whispered about in the dark corners of bars and in dirty back alleys by awestruck mercs and terror-stricken targets.

Lance is affiliated with the organisation called The Coalition, lead by the woman known only as the Queen.

Keith is apart of the Blades of Marmora, a faceless organisation wreathed in shadow.

Keith specialised in hand to hand combat and close hand assassinations while Lance mainly took out his targets using his sharpshooting abilities.

That’s not to say that those are the only skills those two are any good at, but it’s their strongest points.

Lance is very proficient in close combat, while Keith has a pretty good aim with a gun, but Lance prefers to be able to keep out of the way + fire from a distance because he’s playing to his strengths, just like his Keith does when he uses his hands or blades on a target.

They met during their downtime between missions, at some cliché spot like a coffee shop or a library or something and immediately hit it off.

However, neither of them are aware that the cute guy who’s number he just got is actually “that one really annoying assassin that always manages to get to my targets before I do and constantly makes my missions so much more difficult than they need to be.”

Lance had just liked Keith’s eyes and Keith had thought that Lance’s smile was cute.

So they began dating, eventually falling in love and moving in together.

They’re still pretending that they’re civilians at this point, and all their travelling for missions and stuff is either presented as “work meetings” or “family business” and the like. I feel like they would both know something wasn’t completely truthful about that, but hey - as long as they both loved each other and were honest with the important things, then it didn’t really bother them. They both knew the weight of keeping secrets, so they were quite lenient about it, because it would be pretty fucking ironic for them to demand to know every secret the other had when they were hiding such a massive part of themselves.

So yeah anyway back to the plot - they both come to the same conclusion that they want to leave the job so they can spend more time with each other and finally have a normal life with the man they love.

Each of their organisations reluctantly agrees to this, and they’re free.

And they enjoy their life together, they really do. Keith gets a job as a mechanic and Lance begins working at a local aquarium, and everything is normal, and mundane and so perfect.

Until Lance collapses one day after making breakfast.

At the hospital, Keith barely hears the doctors as they say “family history of respiratory failure” and “paralysis of the diaphragm”. He can only watch as the whole world suffocates around him.

Keith goes home alone that night, and every night after.

Lance never goes home again.

Instead, he wakes up in a room filled with medical equipment, and yet, it’s no hospital. By his side sits the Queen.

Tetrodotoxin - she tells him, her white hair curling - You’re the only one I can trust with this mission. I know you had a life outside, I know you had left. But you know I wouldn’t do this if I had any other choice.

Keith wakes up alone, an empty muscle beating under his collarbone.

Lance wakes up, dead to the world once more.

Lance completes his mission with the most ruthless anyone has ever seen him display. A room full of Galra generals is stained red in his wake, a pen drive containing new information about The Emperor’s plans clenched tight in his bloody fist.

What will you do? - His Queen asks when he returns - He thinks you’re dead.

I’ll make something up - he spits his response before climbing in a car and making his way back Home.

Keith wasn’t prepared for the swarm of Galra mobsters that invaded his home - but they sure as hell weren’t prepared for him.

A demon - no holds barred and nothing left to lose- he fights like a wildfire against the rain, any injury taken is doubled in his retaliation, filling his house (their house) with boiling steam.

Eventually, the force of the thunderstorm is too much, and he flares, flickers, fades under the onslaught.

Lotor, the man with the smirk and the slicked back hair, takes his bike and leaves, leaving his underlings to deal with what he thinks is the broken husk of a man lying bleeding on the living room floor.

With that Lotor paints a target on his back. Because he took Keith’s bike.

But Keith couldn’t give two shits about his bike. It was a motorcycle, he could get another. What he did give two shits about was the storage unit under the seat, the one with the false bottom and hidden compartment. The one that held a small velvet box - and a ring that he’d been too late to give.

Keith left his house that night with the blood of seven more people on his hands, and an inferno screaming ablaze behind him.

A Queen and Her King || Tom Holland x Reader [Part 1][Gang/Assassin AU]

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is my very first action AU, so I apologize for things that seem oddly unrealistic in the crime world. I obviously don’t know much about it. If you have tips or feedback, please message/ask me about it! I created the idea for this fic through a song called Natalie by Bruno Mars, but I also want to credit @hollandroos for her fanfiction, Blow A Kiss, Fire A Gun. It was the very first Mob!Tom fanfiction I read (The first AU like that I’d ever read, actually.) and it still inspires me as I hope to continue this series. I hope for this to get better as it goes along. Just so you have the basic knowledge, this is kind of like a Mobster!AU meets Assassin!AU and a lot of wild crossover shit.

TRIGGER WARNING: Violence, language, guns, knives, suggestive sexual actions, mentions of pedophilia (It’s not any more graphic, it might even be less, than basic horror movies you might’ve seen. The description is mostly about action, not in depth detail of what it looks like. It’s an assassin/gang/mafia AU, so it’s kind of fucked up anyway.)

DISCLAIMER: This story contains content that I am just writing for the sake of the story. I do not condone/support it. Your “character” as the reader, may also do things you personally would not do. Please don’t read if you can’t handle that. THIS DOES NOT ACCURATELY REPRESENT TOM, HIS MORALS OR ANYONE HE’S ASSOCIATED WITH. I’M MERELY USING HIS IMAGE AND A NAME TO CREATE THIS STORY. PLEASE DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS AS AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF TOM. (This is more of a movie in my head, and a character Tom is playing)

I have trigger warnings at the scenes that should need them. Please let me know if there are other subjects that need warnings!

Prologue

As three shrill beeps replaced dialing noises, Tom’s anger skyrocketed. He began to pace and repeatedly clench his fists at an attempt to hold back everything he was feeling.

“We’re sorry, you’ve reached a number that is either disconnected or no longer linke-“ Tom spun around and threw the phone, sending it flying into his bedroom wall and crashing to the floor. “Goddamnit!” He sat down on the corner of his bed, staring out through the wall-to-wall glass pane that separated him from the rest of the world. The skyline was a vibrant dark blue, turning to purple and black.

Every dollar in his safe he’d worked his ass off to get was gone. There was no trace, no logical reasoning as to how it got stolen. That safe was one of the most protected vaults in the world.

Natalie, or Natalia as Tom used to call her endearingly, was gone too.

Disappeared. No word, no warning.

Not only had she cheated on him, she robbed him.

“Tom, what do you want to do to respond?” His best friend and co-leader Harrison asked, frustration clear in his voice.

“I don’t fucking know. Nothing yet, we’re too vulnerable. We’ll...need alliances.”

She took his heart out of his chest and walked all over it, puncturing it with her stiletto heels.

He found out everything she’d done after she left. Of course the man was riddled with sadness and hurt, but the only feeling he let control him was anger.

He couldn’t be weak. Not now, not ever.

After willingly letting her in and finally bringing his guard down, she wrecked him. You know what everyone says? That Natalie Rose Giovanni can never be overthrown. She’s notorious for the lives she takes and everything in between. That she’s untouchable. But in the end, the greatest revenge is going out and accomplishing what is said to be impossible. And that is exactly what he would do.

This was personal now.

Natalie, Europe’s top drug queenpin with a terrifying hidden past, versus Thomas Stanley Holland, the most notorious mafia leader in almost every corner of the northern eastern hemisphere.

She took everything he had, even some of his very best men.

His team.

His power.

His reputation.

His empire.

Soon enough, he was going to take every single bit of it back, even if it meant ruining her fucking life.

Even if it meant killing her.

One

“Hang on,” you giggle softly, looking up at the man in front of you. “Why don’t we go back to your room?”

His hands had made their way under your thighs and he had you up against a wall, giving him easy access to touch your body. “We’re not exactly in the most private area of the hotel.”

“If it gets that dress off you, then that’s fine by me,” he replies, kissing down your neck.

“Eugene!” You push his hands down and stand straight up, smiling coyly at the millionaire while listening for any instructions in your earpiece.

“You’re doing good. Get the card to his room and be quick with this, (Y/N). This operation has some complications.”

“I’m just telling you how I really feel, Allison.” Of all the names Felix could pick for an undercover op, why choose such a plain one?

You slip your hand into his pocket, pulling out the key card and tucking it into your bra, all without breaking eye contact with him. “I’ll meet you there in ten,” you whisper in his ear, running a finger down his chest as you walked away.

“Fucking pig,” you mutter to the man behind the earpiece, making quick time to the elevator.

“Right?” The man in question is Felix Sternberg, (Known as Judas by his “enemies”) one of the most elite proxy murder directors in the world, or at least the most famous among federal government organizations and operations that do things not commonly associated with the human moral code. (Murder, drug dealing, etc.) He’s one of your newest co-workers. The brains behind your newest weapons, technology and escapes. It’s possible that without him, you would’ve been in a supermax prison by now.

The most intensely protected in the U.S filled with the worst kind of people imaginable.

People like you.

“What’s his deal again?” You ask, shaking your head away from the doubting thoughts that often plagued you.

“Rape, robbery, embezzling, pedophilia, the usual.” Felix says nonchalantly.

“God, I cannot wait to shower tonight, that’s disgusting...”

“You’re also technically a contract murderer for a living, so I don’t know if you’re one to judge, (Y/N).”

“But I’ve never done shit to kids or forced myself on a person. I only kill people who deserve it.”

“That last part is debatable, but we’re moving on. Wait for the bellboy in the elevator to leave before going up.”

“Sounds good.”

The red silk dress draped on your body was apart of the job, a request made by the contract. The person who hired you was actually his wife, Valerie Pence. She wasn’t much better than him when it came to money, but once she found out what he’d done, the decision was easy. There also might’ve been infidelity involved in her reasoning.

She’d informed you that the best way to get to him was probably seduction and that his favorite color was red. The combination of the two would make it easy to get him alone. She took you shopping for the dress herself, an odd way of saying thank you (other than money) for the favor. When you stepped out of the changing room to show her, she simply smiled, but her watering eyes displayed a different emotion.

“You look stunning. This’ll work.” You wonder what her thought process was with hiring you, how their relationship came to be and everything in between. Getting personally involved with clients was a beginner’s mistake, but in some cases it was incredibly hard not to even think about what happened between some duos.

“He’s gone, move fast.” Felix interrupts your recollection, snapping you back to your work.

Eventually, you end up in his room, only stopping for a minute to marvel at the lavish decor and to peek around. White silk sheets dressed the king sized bed, complimenting the other colors in the room. Dark reds, black and grey all combined to give the room a sensual and eerie feeling.

Eugene appears soon after, hastily moving toward you, lust in his eyes. “Hang on, let me just go get something ready okay?” You stopped him, one hand steady on his waist the other over his shoulder.

“Alright...”

“I want you to wear this, though.” You found some questionable fabric, presumably left behind the last hotel-goer, and started to tie it around his eyes as a blindfold. “Now lay here,” you pushed him down on the bed, a little too roughly, but he didn’t question any of it.

You enter the bathroom swiftly, the door clicking behind you.

“Felix, where’s my stuff?” You whisper.

“Underneath the sink. There’s a silenced pistol. The bag has a change of clothes in it and some sunglasses. Put your hair up, too. I have someone ready to tamper with the security footage, but just in case I want you to try and be very discreet and exit through the fire escape. No one should see since you’re on the back of the building. Your ride will be waiting to take you home.”

“Thanks.” You grab the bag and begin to undress, leaving only your satin gloves on. This replaced the fancy dress and heels with what you could only describe as an outfit straight off if 2015 grunge tumblr, doc martens and all.

Not the worst, but not the best outfit choice.

“I have one more...treat for you you, Mr. Pence.” You call out through the door, smirking to yourself. 4 sets of handcuffed glistened in the bag, and a gag.

“Thanks for leaving them in there Felix. Did you put her fingerprints on them?”

“You’re sadistic, but yes. The police and FBI will likely arrest Kathryn and any of her employees. I planted stuff to lead them to the kids. You’re in the clear but you need to get a move on, even if that includes speeding up your ‘process’.”

Kathryn Moseby, a “friend” of the millionaire. She holds a position in congress. She’s also the ringleader of a pedophilic sex trafficking ring.

“Like I said, he deserves my ‘process’. They all do. I’m doing the world a favor right now.”

“Whatever you say.”

You sigh, plucking the bag off the ground and walking back to the bedroom. “I hope you like your girls dominant, Eugene.” You quickly click the handcuff onto his hand and to the bed frame before he could even respond. His breathing started to become uneasy, but he nodded.

“It’s new...but I’ll try.”

“You don’t have a choice.” You whisper, clicking the second handcuff shut. The other two might’ve been too loose, but they’d restrain him. “Final touches,” you smile, climbing into the bed and almost straddling him. He seems taken aback as you jerk the gag tightly to make sure it stays on. “We don’t want anyone to hear us, now do we?” He shakes his head nervously in response.

As an extra precaution, you switch on the TV to a music station, turning the volume up just enough to mask loud conversations. “Alright Eugene. Let’s begin.” You pick up the pistol and a small knife, crawling on the bed.

You run your fingers along his chin, feeling less gross about touching him because of the fabric between you two.

“I fawt yoo changfed?” He tries to ask in reaction to feeling the gloves, barely audible or intelligible.

“Oh, I did.” You giggle, removing his mask.

[TW: Violence]

He’s shocked, confused, and now scared. His eyes take in your figure and then the gun in your hand. He starts to panic.

“You didn’t think I was gonna let you off easy, did you?” The knife from earlier now glints menacingly in the soft lighting. “I don’t normally do it this slowly, but you’re a special kind of messed up. We’re all fucked up, especially me, but you, you’re a rapist and a pedophile. A cheater. Kind of the scum of the earth.”

He still wasn’t processing his situation entirely, but his chest was rising and falling rapidly.

He wasn’t screaming.

He wasn’t begging.

Yet.

You jabbed the knife directly above his knee. Angling it towards the bone. This time, his entire body jerked and he started to yell, but the music drowned out his shouts.

“That was for every child and person you’ve ever touched.” You pulled it out, watching the tears stream from his eyes, then ripped past the buttons on his suit shirt. “And this is for Valerie.”

You slowly carve the knife into his skin, toward the right side of his stomach. It was a number that you carved. 334.

“I wonder who my 335th will be?”

“Hey (Y/N), as much as I enjoy tuning your weird shit out and waiting for you, you need to be fast. Like now. We’re cutting our time too close.”

“I got it.” You frown sarcastically at the pathetic, convulsing man beneath you. “I’d love to stay and chat, but I have to go.” You pull the knife away, wiping the blood off with your gloves.

The red contrasts the starch white in a disgustingly satisfying way. You stand up, brandishing the pistol excitedly. His screams are becoming increasingly louder, and more annoying.

Watching him writhe in pain and desperation filled you with a twisted sense of pride. You keep telling yourself that he deserves it to justify your actions, but there’s still that one ounce of innocence in you that rejects those thoughts.

Then you remember Valerie’s voice on the other end of the phone when she called, tearfully begging for help. She sounded desperate and sad, not angry.

She just wanted him gone.

Had she tried to divorce him, she might’ve been endangered. If she turned him in for his crimes, he’d send people after her.

That’s all you need to get the job done.

“I’ll see you in hell.”

Bang.

Please leave feedback! I will gladly accept civil/kind worded constructive criticism. -Ciel
