Seeun x Reader:Deadshot

A/N: this is an AU, so some parts of Seeun's debut and career are tweaked to make things a tad more realistic

Permanent Taglist: @cwpiqwon@justme-idle

The world was not what it seemed, with an underworld whose roots spread further than that of Yggdrasil. The criminal underworld was a treacherous one, but one that Seeun had no choice to adapt to, seeing as how she was picked up from the streets by them, a street urchin on the brink of death, resuscitated, and molded into a weapon, only to be granted freedom from under Yggdrasil once her "debt" was paid. Seeun was trained day and night, in a course that could only be summarised as the most efficient ways to incapacitate and kill someone, training in Martial arts like Sambo, Akido, Judo, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, as well as Krav Maga. Not only that, Seeun was turned into a weapons expert, guns, Melee weapons, give Seeun a Number 2 Pencil and she'd drop bodies. With that, Seeun worked her way up the branches of Yggdrasil, becoming one of their top enforcers with deadly aim, earning her the moniker, Deadshot.

None of this was by choice of course, Seeun hated what she did. She valued human life, and while some of the people she put down were horrible people, people who deserved worse than a bullet to the head, not all of them were. Some were just in the wrong place in the wrong time, or offended the wrong person. Every time Seeun pulled a trigger, or snapped a neck, a little part of her soul died, only one thing kept her soul intact. You. Like her, you were dragged in from the streets, like her, an orphan, with no one who would miss you. Though you and Seeun were approximately the same age, you were found from the streets later than she was, making you less experienced than her. Seeing you struggle with the training as she once did, Seeun took you under her wing, helping train you, and to Seeun's surprise, gaining an unlikely friend, in the worst of places.

"I heard that Cain is sending us on a mission soon. Some crazy guy roided up with the wrong juice, makes him impervious to pain. It's gonna be tough." Seeun said as the two of you sparred, kali sticks in hand as you circled each other. "Sounds like fun." You smirked, suddenly changing your pace, catching Seeun off guard, knocking her onto the ground "Told you Sseni, You might be better with a gun, but I'm better at hand to hand combat." You chuckled, offering your hand to Seeun, helping her up as she rolled her eyes. "That was just luck, I'll kick your ass next time." Seeun said as she lightly shoved you, her head bolting to the left as the entrance to the training room opened, a messenger appearing. "Cain requires your presence in the main hall now." The two of you shared a smile, before nodding and following the messenger. "Deadshot, Hawke. I believe you've heard what this mission will entail, here's an official brief. Your target goes by the name Samson, and he operates out of a Warehouse by the docks. Locate him and take him. Alive. That is all." Never one to waste words, Cain swiftly briefed the two agents on the mission, the two nodding as they turned to leave. "Deadshot, stay, I have need of you." Seeun turned to Y/N, nodding to you as you left the room. "What." "As the person who trained you since we found you, I have grown a soft spot for you, so I give this advice to you. Whatever feelings you have for Y/N, lose it, kill it." Seeun wore a mask of indifference, but she was trying her best to hold together her slipping facade. Somewhere, sometime during a mission, or training, Seeun found herself falling in love with you. Your laugh, your smile, your way of holding her together, Seeun found her love in a life of death and pain, the silver lining in the sea of red. "I don't know what you're talking about." Seeun coldly replied, staring Cain dead in the eye as he chuckled. "Say whatever you want kid. I did you a favour, checked in with the Elders, this will be your last mission, then you're free. You won't be seeing Y/N anymore after this." Cain shot Seeun a small smile, Seeun recoiling in shock, but nodded. "Before you go, take it from someone who's been here far too long. For people like us, Love is like a bullet to the brain."

"Sseni, you feeling alright? You've been oddly silent this whole ride." You asked, your eyes not leaving the knife you twirled in your hand as you ran a cloth over it. "This is going to be my last mission." Seeun blurted out, unable to keep the secret to herself while her mind was deep in thought on her conversation with Cain. On the one hand, Seeun was glad to be done with this life, the killing, the missions, but on the other hand, Seeun would never see you again. Until the elders set you free, but who knows how long that would take? "Oh, that's great Sseun! You get to go live that life you've always wanted to!" You excitedly cheer, finally sheathing your knife, jumping towards Seeun and throwing her into a hug. "Yeh." Was all Seeun could mutter, because somewhere along the way, the life that Seeun wanted to live would not be one she wanted at all, if you weren't in it. "Deadshot, Hawke, 2 minutes out." The driver said, pounding on the wall between his seat and the two of you nodded, Seeun brandished her modified assault rifle and you primed your electric bites, hopping off the van, then getting to high ground, surveying the warehouse. Seeun flicked her infrared goggles down, surveying the warehouse. "Target is with 4 of his men, lightly armed, Hawke, head to Breach Point Alpha, then enter on my signal. Take down the men, then take on Samson, I'll cover you then join." You nodded, bolting to the other exposed window, waiting for Seeun's nod, then jumping in, shooting 2 electric bites at the men, stunning them while they convulsed, allowing you to easily knock them down, other two falling to the ground, Seeun's marksmanship showing itself. "I didn't expect Yggdrasil here so soon." Samson said with a smug smile. Jumping towards him, you shot a bite at him, but he chuckled shrugging it off. Redoubling your efforts, you charged at Samson, drop kicking him, then flicking a flechette at him, which stabbed him in the shoulder, but it seemed to have no effect on him. "Didn't your beloved elders brief you, I don't feel pain anymore, and he who doesn't feel pain, can't be beat." He proclaimed with his arms out, before bum rushing you, his speed astonished you as you only barely got out of his way, his shoulder grazing you and sending you back a few feet. Brushing it off, you charged at Samson, engaging in a fierce duel as you dodged, parried and weaved, trying to find a weak spot, but none presented itself, and you soon found yourself on the ground. "Deadshot, I can't get a hit on this guy, he just keeps getting up." You shouted into the comms "Hold him down, I need a clean shot." Seeun said, you followed her as you saw the glare from her scope "Negative Deadshot, we need him alive." "Hold him down Hawke, trust me." Nodding, you lunged at Samson once again, but instead of going for his body, you went for his joints, grappling around him, eventually holding him in a lock. Holding Samson in place, you saw 4 quick flashes, seeing Samson's limbs light up, blood splattering, and you suddenly felt less resistance. Letting go of Samson, his body dropped to the ground, struggling but unable to get up. "What did you do?" You asked in the comms, Seeun grappling down to you. "Just because he can't feel his tendons being torn, doesn't mean he doesn't need them. Let's get him to the van Hawke." Seeun smirked, helping you as you restrained Samson, depositing him in the van

The day went by in a blur. After taking Samson down, you delivered him to the elders, then helped Seeun pack. It was a tearful goodbye to say the least, in her time in Yggdrasil, in her time of knowing you, Seeun always wanted so badly to tell you how she felt. Seeun's heartbeat wouldn't quicken when entering a room full of deathtraps, but it would do somersaults when she looked at you. As the two of you sat in her room, she wanted so very much to tell you everything, how she felt about you. "Sseni, you okay? You look constipated. It's actually kinda funny." You giggled as you looked as Seeun's face, Seeun rolling her eyes as she motioned for you to sit beside her. "I need to tell you something Y/N." Seeun said, putting her hand on your shoulder. You hummed, sitting next to her and laying on her shoulder, which did not help Seeun. "Umm, so I wanted to tell you, that we've known each other for so long, and I think we've spent alot of time together, and we're close, an-" Seeun tried to talk, but she choked on every word she tried, and you giggled at her antics "Calm down Sseni, breathe." You put your hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down, though it backfired in a spectacular fashion. This was it, Seeun knew she wouldn't be able to do it if she tried to do it slowly. "I think I'm in love with you." Seeun quickly blurted out, and you tensed up on her shoulder You slowly got up from her, turning to her with a serious look on your face, a face Seeun had only seen when the two of you were on missions. "I guess I knew." You whispered. On a certain level, you always knew. It was in your training to know what was happening everywhere around you, so it was hard to miss Seeun's glances when she would stare at you when you trained, or her shortened breaths when you leaned on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Sseni, but I don't think I can do this." You whispered. "Does that mean you don't feel the same way?" Seeun closed her eyes, turning away, not willing to bear what came next. "No, it doesn't mean that, but...I can't do it while I'm still in this...place. Once I'm free, we'll have this conversation alright?" You turned, leaving a light kiss on her forehead. "I'll wait for you." Seeun whispered as you left the room "See you soon Sseni."

As Seeun left Yggdrasil, she was stopped by Cain, who pulled Seeun aside. "The elders would like to thank you for your service all these years. You have been one of our finest agents since Penumbra. And for that, they've allowed me to extend you a courtesy." Cain handed Seeun a phone, and on it she saw one contact. Cain's "I know you're stubborn, you and Hawke will most likely not let this go. I'll keep you posted on Hawke. Now go, live a life, a good one. Good luck kid." Seeun nodded, thanking Cain before heading out of the base.

"Thank you so much!" Seeun excitedly replied, before hanging up and squealing, excited to hear that her application into High Up Entertainment was excited. As she was lying down on her bed, excited about finally being able to be an idol, a career she had always been interested in, her burner chimed. "Hawke's been doing well, she's risen to the top of Yggdrasil. She should be out soon." Things couldn't get better, Seeun was ecstatic as not only was she achieving a sense of normalcy, you were going to be free soon, and the two of you could live together, the plan was perfect.

"Seeun, how are you not exhausted?" Isa exclaimed as Seeun shrugged, chuckling as Isa nudged her on the shoulder, other trainees looking at Seeun in shock, murmuring and questioning how she was not tired after hours on hours of practice and training. "Seeun-unnie, your special phone rang!" Yoon exclaimed as she ran to Seeun, phone in hand. "Thank you Ja Yun." Seeun excitedly jumped up, opening the messages "There's chatter amongst the elders of an upcoming mission being Hawke's last, data retrieval then assassination of Kim Chaewon." Seeun was conflicted. On the one hand, she knew who Kim Chaewon was. She was a Chaebol, but worked for the good of the people. She was a philanthropist, who took care of the poor, and to assassinate her, it would be a crime, a sin. But on the other hand, this meant she could be with Y/N. Finally, after 2 years of waiting. She could hardly wait

"Okay girls, great work today, have a good rest, the company should be sending someone over to pick us up." Sumin talked to the girls, pulling Yeeun in as the exhausted girl leaned on the leader. Seeun tossed a bottle of water to Sieun, chuckling as she watched her chug the entire bottle. Resting on her chair, Seeun's phone chimed, could it finally be time? "Hawke's been stalling her mission. The elders suspect foul play, or a change of heart. For both your sakes, I hope that Hawke completes her mission with haste." Seeun gripped the phone tightly, wishing from the bottom of her heart that the elders were wrong. From the back of her pocket, Seeun took out a picture, one she had taken after sending a PI after Chaewon. "Woah, who's that!" Isa exclaimed as she rushed to Seeun's side. "Just someone I know." Seeun answered, eyes trained on the picture "She's cute." Isa commented, raising her hands up in surrender when Seeun shot her a dirty look. "You're not wrong." Seeun chuckled, looking forlornly at the picture in her hand. "Why haven't you asked her out yet?" Isa teased, nudging Seeun on the shoulder, a sense of sadness washing over Seeun. "There's certain restrictions for now, but soon, I'll ask her out soon. Don't you worry about it Chae." "You've got to introduce us, alright?" Isa asked, small smile on her face, happy to know her friend had someone special. "Of course."

"I need to go, now!" Seeun shouted, her eyes locked on her phone in fear as she called for Sumin. "Unnie, I need to leave, it's an emergency." "Wha- Seeun, we have a performance soon, the manager won't let you leave." Sumin looked at Seeun in confusion, partly worried about what had her friend so spooked "Please." Seeun pleaded, and Sumin finally relented. Seeun nodded, sprinting out of the room as she headed back to headquarters, running into her old mentor and handler. "Deadshot, you can't be here." Cain warned, knowing what Seeun had come back for. "I need to talk to the elders, please." Seeun pleaded with Cain, panic bubbling in her chest. "Seeun, are you sure you want to do this. The elders aren't people you want to owe." Cain warned, unwilling to see someone he had grown to care for throw herself into such a dangerous situation. "Please, Cain." Seeun asked once again. After deep thought, Cain nodded, making a call on his phone, then leading Seeun down the hallway. Seeun entered the room to see 4 people, sat behind a table as they stared her down. "Elders, I'm here to plead for leniency for Hawke." Seeun said, bowing down at the 4 figures. "Hawke has betrayed us, and forsaken her mission because she fell in love with her target. She has put Yggdrasil at risk, she must be put down." One of the figures spoke, causing Seeun to panic. "There has to be a way to pardon her. Both Hawke and I have done so much for Yggdrasil." "You have, but that does not change the fact that insubordination must be punished." In her desperation, Seeun proposed a compromise. "I'll do it! I'll finish Hawke's mission, then we'll leave, Yggdrasil will not be in danger. I'm one of the best agents in the history of Yggdrasil, putting me on this mission is as close to a surefire as you're gonna get." Hearing this proposal, the first elder raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by the propostion. "You got out Deadshot. You have a life now, as a celebrity I believe. Doing this will jeopardise your life. Do you understand the risks?" The elder questioned, Seeun nodding. She'd do anything to get Y/N out of danger. The 4 elders looked to each other, murmuring and discussing, before finally nodding. "The elders accept your proposal, Hawke will be spared and released, contingent on the elimination of Kim Chaewon." "Thank you."

"Ms Kim will be making a public appearance in 2 days. Be warned though, Hawke knows that the company will not cease in their assault on Ms Kim, and she knows how our agents operate, so there will be tons of security. Good luck Deadshot." Cain gave a quick brief, rolling a map across the table and leaving Seeun a key. Grabbing the key, Seeun turned, opening the drawers behind her, retrieving her modified assault rifle, the weapon of her torment, but just one more time. This was all just for one more time. "This is going to be a mistake. Do you really think Hawke will go with you after you kill her lover in cold blood?" Cain questioned, looking at Seeun in pity. "I have to, I'm doing this to keep her alive." Seeun whispered.

The sickening crunch and crack of bones filled the empty room, the body of security hired to protect the event Chaewon was hosting collided with the wall, then collapsing onto the ground. Seeun quickly found a perch offering her an eyeline to the podium, setting up her rifle bipod, proning to get a good eyeline on Chaewon. After minutes of waiting, Chaewon finally emerged from the building, shadowed by you as you looked around carefully. Seeing you, Seeun froze. She hadn't seen you in 3 years, and you hadn't changed one bit. You still looked every bit as radiant as the day Seeun left. Seeun quickly shook it off, refocusing as she scoped in onto Chaewon. Seeun took a deep breath, her scope trained onto Chaewon, then pulled the trigger.

The world came crashing down around her, widespread panic ensued, as medics crowded around the fallen body, cries of despair filling the area, and Seeun fell back in shock. How did this happen? No. No. No. This was not supposed to happen. You weren't supposed to see the glare, you weren't supposed to know someone else had a sniper to Chaewon. You weren't supposed to be fast enough. You saw the glare, and immediately recognised what it was, charging at Chaewon to get her down, and out of the sniper's view. But it all happened too late. Chaewon was safe, but on top of her, laid your limp body, blood spurting from your neck as Chaewon screamed. From her rooftop, Seeun fell back in shock, panic and despair filling her body as she stared at her mess, the consequences of her actions dawning upon her, your lifeless body being the only thing Seeun could see, letting out a scream of pure agony. Seeun then felt a searing pain in her abdomen, her scream alerting other members of security to her position, and they swiftly took her down. But Seeun didn't care. What was the point of life if you weren't in hers? Seeun didn't want to live without you. As she laid on the rooftop, breathing laboured and raggedy, she realised that Cain was right. About you, and about her.

For people like you and Seeun, Love was like a bullet to the brain

A few of my headcanons for Shellington!

Based on his accent, I’d say he’s Scottish. (Also: a lot of the fan base seems to agree on this.)

Multi-lingual! The languages he knows include, but are not limited to:

English

Scottish Gaelic (his first language)

Spanish

Latin (he mostly uses it for science stuff)

Hawaiian (learned it from Dashi)

French

Chinese

Japanese

Greek

Russian

Various sign languages

Vegimalese

In true European fashion, he calls math “maths” and sports “sport.”

Never goes anywhere without his comfort items:

Special satchel that Dashi made for him

Magnifying glass

Field journal and pencils

Seashell

Favorite rock

Sometimes gets so caught up in his research that he forgets to eat at the proper time. Same goes for getting a good night’s sleep.

Pretty much an older brother figure to Peso. He’s very gentle and patient with him, as well as protective. A few headcanons for them:

Peso is constantly reminding Shellington to get more sleep, and “eat some food, for the sea gods’ sake!”

They love going sledding together! And in true sea otter/penguin fashion, they never use actual sleds. They just slide down the hill on their bellies.

They also love playing music together! Peso plays the xylophone, and Shellington either plays the electric keyboard or the bagpipes.

Whenever Peso gets nervous, Shellington will hold his flipper to comfort him. He also gives Peso lots of hugs!

Scared of heights. This is already canon, but I forget what episode established it. Whenever traveling long distances, he prefers to travel by sea.

Normally, he’s the reasonable member of the friend group, but if you put him and Kwazii in the same room with no supervision, the two of them share but one brain cell.

An actual conversation they had:

Kwazii: Do you know what time it is, matey?

Shellington: Hand me my bagpipes and I’ll find out.

Kwazii: Okay, here ya go.

Shellington: *plays bagpipes*

Captain Barnacles: Who in the seven seas is playing bagpipes at 2 AM?!

Shellington: It’s 2 in the morning.

Likes to pick up rocks, seashells, sea glass, and other small objects. Most of these he keeps for his collection, but occasionally he gives some to his friends. It doesn’t even have to be a special occasion. Whenever he feels like it, Shellington has a present for any of his friends.

Headcanons for him and Dashi:

They’ve known each other since college (or maybe high school.)

They’ve collaborated on research papers many times.

They both love watching movies!

Sometimes Dashi calls him “Shel” for short.

They often act like an old married couple, even though they aren’t.

Chaos duo, but more chill.

He/they and she/they solidarity!

Whenever they haven’t seen each other in a long time (this can be a few hours to a few months), they get SUPER excited. Dashi tackles Shellington in a hug, often catching him off guard. There’s a lot of hugs/cuddles and happy stimming.

Shellington is either an excellent cook or he almost burns down the kitchen. There is almost no middle ground. It’s canon that the Vegimals are good cooks, but someone had to teach them!

Tunip and the other Vegimals aren’t the only creatures who have imprinted on Shellington. He’s also become the (accidental) parent to several birds, including guillemots, plovers, and ducks. Not to mention several sea creatures. Kwazii is the only crew member who’s accidentally adopted a similar amount of critters.

Headcanons for him and his sister Pearl:

They try to keep in contact with each other, but it’s not easy! Shellington has lots of science research to attend to, and Pearl is preoccupied with her own research— and being a mom.

When he was little, Shellington caught a sea urchin and kept it as a pet. A few days later, Pearl ate it (not knowing it was her brother’s pet). Needless to say, he was very upset when he found out.

He’s definitely lied to the crew about some “fun facts” just to be funny. And unlike Kwazii, he knows how to make his tall tales believable.

To cheer his friends up, he will use his magnifying glass to make observations and compliments about them. For instance:

Complimenting Peso on his thick coat of feathers. “It must keep you very warm while you’re swimming! And what beautiful countershading!”

“Dashi, your hair clips perfectly coordinate with your outfit today! And I see you chose the sparkly ones! They remind me of these shiny rocks!”

Drinks lots of tea. Usually earl grey tea or seaweed tea. He and Inkling meet up a few times a week to drink tea and play board games. And discuss marine biology.

Sometimes he makes tea for the entire crew!

He has autism and OCD. The first one is pretty much canon (and @octoagentmiles explains it better than I could). The second one is just me self-projecting. Anyway— Shellington has to have things just so, or else he can’t relax.

He has befriended clams before, despite the fact that he frequently eats them. This causes a lot of moral dilemmas on his part. Every time he is about to eat raw clam, he prays to the sea gods for forgiveness before smashing the clam open.

He likes experimenting with different food combinations. Someone tell me the episode that confirms that he puts hot sauce on his kelp cakes!

He, Dashi, and Tweak send each other lots of memes.

He’s definitely posted several versions of “do you love the color of the sky,” much to his crewmates’ annoyance.

He chirps and purrs when he’s happy! Whenever he and Kwazii are excited about something, both their purr motors are going at full speed. He will also instinctively purr whenever he’s snuggling anyone.

He spends a lot of time in the sick bay with Peso, and helps him treat patients. If he wasn’t a marine biologist, he probably would have become a doctor.

On the rare occasion Peso is sick or injured, Shellington is the one who takes care of him.

Peso: I’m fine, really! *looks like he’s about to collapse*

Shellington: No you’re not. You’re going back to bed and I’m going to make you some hot tea. Get some rest, or so help me…

Sometimes switches from English to Scottish Gaelic when excited or angry or otherwise feeling strong emotions.

He seems like the kind of guy to enjoy Star Trek. His favorite characters are Data, Scotty, and Uhura.

Favorite video games:

Animal Crossing

Minecraft

Pokémon (mostly the older pixel style games)

Samorost 3

Signs all his letters with “best fishes.”

have you thought about beatrice looking to the stars for understanding and lilith looking to the sea and both of them finding it in these very terrestrial beings of ava and cam

i think it makes perfect sense for them. two girls peering and diving and holding their breaths in an effort to see life at its thinnest edge, falling for what’s right in front of them. they’re so entirely devoted to life, and along come two girls who can teach them how to wrap it all around their own lives. they’ve never really thought to look at what’s already in their hands; they look in our remaining frontiers, the crushing deep and the crushing everywhere else. but what they’re reaching for is life.

and they’re not even trying to reach far. bea doesn’t look out towards the interstellar remnants of the beginning, she’s not seeking distant stars. she’s a heliophysicist, looking at what our star’s influence touches. obsessed with Voyager as a child, walking with it like an imaginary friend. studying everything she could find about it, trying to recreate what it must have been like to watch it go, and go, out beyond the tight-knit revolutions of our planets. beatrice, making little models of Voyager in clay, in plastic, in pencil onto paper. able to tell you if you asked (no one did) how many days since it launched, how many days since it passed out of all that we really touch. an accelerating body taking pictures as it departed, and how those images feel to bea like reaching hands. 19,000 images of Jupiter and every one of them a silent plea. ‘catch me. i want to go home.’

but what happened to it after it, when it passed out into the interstellar wind, bea found less interesting. it was just another little lost object to her. never coming home.

and so she turned back towards the little sphere of influence that is ours. because she knows it can only hurt to look at what will never go home (like her). she wants to understand this, here, the fragile ellipses that score the night sky.

oh, she loves stars. loves how their light reaches us, loves the notion of light-years, all the dust clouds obscuring what we wish to see, but her obsession is with what lies closest to us. because she knows there’s hope in it - and she wants understanding that can grow under her feet; this bright bubble of life and the star to which it clings.

and lilith is the same. it’s not the ocean itself that captivates her, but the things that live in it. she and beatrice know what it is to feel far away, to feel distant, to feel alone. so bea wants to understand how life happens, and lilith looks for it in the frontier below us.

following whales through the muddle of shipping lanes, listening to how they change their pitch to hear each other over mechanical chatter. she watches sea otters dive for urchins and urchins eat kelp from the roots. the delicate balance of everything, beneath, while bea adjusts her glasses and twists the lenses on her telescope to look above.

and they’re both interested in life and every place it endures. bea obsessed with the formation of the earth, the moon gouged out of the ground and the boiling oceans and the slow exertion of atmosphere. organisms looking towards the sun, growing in bubbles clinging to rocks in a hostile universe. creatures crawling onto land and finding home, the parts of us that remember we were different once. the early human obsession with the sky. constellations and the shape of the earth. lunar shadows and making lenses to see out of rocks from the ground. sand and lime and soda ash (and how lilith will tell her that the sodium carbonate might have come from seashore plants. and they used it to look up). now beatrice, looking up to understand how it all came together, how it holds and all the nearby places we have yet to walk.

so yes, they look up and they look under but they’re both in love with here. this place. so, really, is it any wonder that when love finds them it is simple, and beautiful, and terrestrial?

#palmer station au #feeling… sososo normal #ty anon 😌 that was such a Thought love your brain
