More tumblr friendly version of my animatic~
@letssofia3006 did this rad mashup of   Alex Lawther (phillip’s VA) reading this monologue with the Belos theme and it was just to perfect. I also copied their good good art of Phillip at Caleb’s grave for one of the shots (with permission) so go love their beautifully rendered version

I do think about this whole sequence more frequently than what's good for me.
After the adrenaline has faded from trying to run from a burning factory, inevitably Bucky would learn of three facts:
Steve is the entirety of the rescue party
Steve disobeyed orders to rescue them
Steve isn't ready to leave the war
If Bucky (and the Howlies) weren't yet burned out by the war, I wonder if that was the moment Bucky became completely disillusioned and also deeply conflicted. In the bowels of the Hydra facility, no doubt one of the things that's kept prisoners going was the hope that their allies would come rescue them. That's part of the reason why Bucky was still doggedly repeating his number after days of torture.
But their allies had no plans to rescue them. They were meaningless numbers lost in the service of their country. The one person who did come was the person Bucky never wanted to see in the midst of war, and - while he wasn't surprised Steve chose to come - they had refused to give Steve any help for the mission. There were many ways Steve could have died on the way to Bucky's cell. There were many ways Steve could have had a fate worse than death, and Bucky already knows of fates worse than death.
Was Bucky angry or indignant? You can see the way he's tensing as Steve gets ready to face Phillips, and the steadying pat Steve has to give Bucky.
Tumblr media
In that context, Bucky's shout isn't just a spur of the moment cheer. It legitimises Steve and his role as Captain America in a single moment. Steve, who the soldiers had mocked and Phillips had dismissed, had proven his worth with the prisoners he led back, and Bucky uses that moment to cement that change in opinion.
Steve is big and tough now, and his fights are bigger and tougher, and Bucky can no longer win Steve's battles for him. All Bucky can do is to ensure that Steve's words won't be ignored again by the likes of Phillips by making all the soldiers acknowledge him, that Steve would always have a trustworthy team behind him for his next mission by helping to recruit the Howlies, and that...as much as he tired of the war, he would be there for Steve. He'd lead the cheer for Captain America, but the one he's following is always Steve.

A fate worse than death
Summary:Finding out why your call Death isn't as fun as hearing about it
Type:Scenario: 141 + Los Vaqueros X M!Reader
Version:Mw2
Tumblr media
~
They were told that you could get your hands dirty. There's been jokes, about how to never mess with you. The people that knew you well watched their tongue and was extra careful around you then anyone else. The people that knew you well weren't scared of Ghost. Price was worried the first time you met Ghost. No one that knew how you fought would spar against you. They should have token the warning. The shadow company knew you, Shepherd knew you, Price, Graves, Alejandro, Laswell, All the leaders you've met. They knew you. Yet, with all that knowledge, knowing why you were called death they still fucked around and found out. Not Price or Alejandro or Laswell. But Graves. You were called Death, and when you hunted someone down people would tell them "A fate worse than death, is heading your way". You were labed as death and it'd be unfortunate to find out way first hand, not just hearing about it, cause when you hear about it, it's not as scary. It'll give you an imagine or a slight unsettling feeling stuck in your stomach for quite some time. A day. A month. Possibly a few minutes, or hours. Or even just a few seconds. But it never stayed long enough to make you permanently scared of someone, or something. So when watching you stand there, still, quiet, angry. It makes you wonder, what are you about to do. When your as well known as you are why would you just stand there. Some people slowly backed away, like Price and Alejandro. Ghost, Gaz, and Soap watched from their sniper positions. Rudy followed Alejandro, staying close behind. Laswall was trying to get insight of what's happening from Price. Graves was no where to be seen. But infront of you was a shadow company, holding his gun to your head, pressing to your head actually. You could see his shaking hands and all he could see were two eyes, that would probably be glowing red if they could. Your eyes said everything for you. You weren't happy, especially with a gun to your head. The shadow knew that he had a chance to run, to be safe away from you. But he didn't take the chance. He left it for his teammates who were long killed, him having no knowledge of that of course. Ghost had his scope on the man's head ready to shoot if needed, Gaz was watching a little closer with his sniper rifle same with Soap. Price didn't know exactly what was about to happen but he knew it wasn't gonna be pretty.
"Shoot him soldier!"
The shadow company soldiers shoulder radio went off, it was commander Phillip Graves. Who currently was watching from another place. No where near where the soldier was.
"You have the shot, Take it!"
Graves yelled again that's when the shadow made a grave mistake(get it?) He let go of his gun with one of his hands to respond to his commander. You seen the flick of regret in his eyes as you grabbed his gun, that was now only held by his weaker hand, and yanked it away from him. Instead of shooting him, you smashed the gun as hard as possible in the cheek bone, completely shattering the said bone. He fell back abit grabbing his face, you took that opportunity to smash the gun down on the top of his head, causing the gun to slightly crash his skull, but not enough to damage him to bad. But you didn't stop there. If you did he could have recovered with minor injuries. But no. You continued to smash the gun against his head until he fell all the way to the ground. Now standing over him breathing heavily you gripped the gun and looked at his thigns. Most people would have just killed him, but you? Your like a sloth bear, you inflict the most damage possible instead of killing. You smirked devilishly before repeatedly bashing his thign bone in, his femur bone the most painful bone in your body to break, also one of the strongest. You beat his leg with the butt of his gun watching as it slowly tore itself apart, his bone breaking more and more with every hit, his blood hitting your clothes, skin, shoes, gun, everything. Price covered his mouth horrified at the sight of blood, even though he's been in the military since he was sixteen he's never seen something like this. Alejandro couldn't look away, he didn't want to but it was hard to look away, and Rudy he stood there, gun at his feet, wide eyed as he thought stared. The snipers on the other hand couldn't see what was happening very well. The shadows screams echoed every second across the trees and large rocks surrounding him. You sudden stopped beating one of his legs but kept the gun digged inside of the area where a bone use to be, you looked in the man's eyes and smiled before moving to the other leg. If he survived, he wouldn't live much longer. You repeated the same process to his other leg this time a bit slower, just so he could feel it more. The shadow could feel his bone caving in on the bottom of his thign, he couldn't feel his other leg but he could feel the cold air hitting the inside of both of his thigns. Feeling the butt of the gun repeatedly hit his thign felt way worse than he could even imagine, his leg was turning to mush as you beat it with the steel gun. If you looked at his thigns with any light you'd see the way his muscle, nerves, veins even have caved in, you could see the way his bone broke and shattered due to direct contact. His muscles just looked like raw, boneless, chicken. A slightly brighter pink, covered in dark red blood causing you to not be able to see the pink muscle. The nerves sticking to muscle and bone as it was beaten done and destroyed by you, his viens also latching on to muscle and bone, just thicker and more noticeable than the white thin nerves. You can't see how all the muscles connected due to it being red gooey muse now. The man was only alive due to the adrenaline and pain running through his body. You backed away a bit and dropped the gun, looking at your work you turned your head to look at the three behind you. Price was horrified, slightly shaking, his hand covered his month as a instant reaction. He was like a deer in headlights. Alejandro had to turn around and throw up a couple time due to the bloody sighting. So he was hunched around a pile of puke turning his best to not turn around or puke again. Rudy had snapped out of it due to Alejandro puking. He had to stay strong for Alejandro.
"P...Please"
You turned your head back to look at the man.
"P..please j...just let me-me go..."
You leaned down and grabbed his hair pulling him up to look at you. Tilting your head you looked the shadow dead in the eyes with a look that could scare the devil. And smirked
"And how would you do that? Mm?"
The man only whined in pain as you dropped him. Chuckling you pressed your foot to the shadows head.
"Aww it was fun, but now it's your turn to sleep tight"
You then lifted your foot, bringing it down at a fast paste, the man moved as fast as he could. Grabbing a throwing knife and jabbing it into the sole of your shoe and foot, you let out a scream and you slightly jumped away from the man, causing him to flip himself around and drag himself. Not caring that the grass, the dirt, and small insects along with bacteria was getting into his busted open thigns, getting on his bloodly, beaten muscles. He was basically rubbing the, still intact, muscles and fibers into the disgusting earth below him. Causing infections and sickness to weld up in his opened legs. He thought he was getting far with slowly dragging himself away, but he didn't know or see you yank the knife out of the bottom of your foot. Throwing the knife into the man's shoulder you grabbed the knife ripping it out causing him to stop and scream due go the sudden pain in his shoulder, head dropping into his arm he tried to contain himself, you had other plans. You dropped to your knees, having them planted on both sides of him. Digging the knife slowly into the top of his back, you slowly pulled the knife towards your pelvis. Cutting him open all the way down his back. Once his back was cut open you reached your hands into his and gripped his now open skin, the inside was still tight, feeling the organs pressed against your fingers and knuckles. As quickly and hard as you could you pulled your hands up ripping his skin away from the tightness it was in before. Dropping his heavy skin to the ground you reached both of your hands in and grabbed a rib, holding the base of the ribcage you started to break every. Single. One. Using his screams and crying out as motivation to keep going once you broke last rib you stood up and pulled his head up with your now bloody hand. Laughing hysterically at the pained look on his face as you could tell he was zoning in and out of reality. Dropping his dropped his head and picked your foot up and dropping it down, repeatedly. You crushed his head like a balloon, it popped and blood went everywhere, the surrounding around was covered in blood, in beaten organs, and hungry insects. When you finally stepped away from the body you limped over to the others not daring to look back at the mess you've made. As the bugs start to eat the man enjoying the fresh and large meal, the others couldn't look you in the eye.
"Shall we get going then?"
You asked with a slight smile as you patted Price's shoulder and Alejandro's back you continued on. You four met up with the snipers who were confused. They couldn't see what was happening since the trees and the other three were covering it, Ghost could kinda see what happened since he was higher up then the other two but still didn't really know. So seeing your cover head to toe in someone else blood, a shaky and wide eyed Price, Alejandro covered in his own puked and Rudy holding Alejandro up, being his own source of strength currently. They were confused, very confused.
"Oh my, what happened?!"
Gaz was very worried and alittle scared, hes never seen his Captain so scared before. Soap could only stare at the people who he thought could never be scared. And Ghost was quiet, he knew you did something, not necessarily to them but infront of them, he knew it was because of you.
"Don't worry about it, we all got a helicopter to catch don't we?"
You said with a slight laugh before limping past them to the helicopter lending zone. The snipers were left confused but either way everyone got to the helicopter on time and went back to the base. Meanwhile Graves was staring at a black screen stunned, quite, as white as a ghost. He couldn't believe what he just seen. No, he refused to believe what he seen. It was from that point on no one who was a witness to what you did could look at you without removing that day, you had scared the Captian shitless and was seen as, The fate worse than death.

[A/n:If I'm being honest it's not as gruesome as I wanted. I hoped you enjoyed]

No Force on this Earth (Could Keep Me From You)
Fandom: Call of Duty x Star Wars
Pairings: Simon "Ghost" Riley/John "Soap" MacTavish
Rating: Teen +
Tags: implied torture, force bonds, blood mention, angst, hurt/comfort
Notes: this fic was massively inspired by @felixeis003 and some lovely CoD x Star Wars art they did of Ghost and Soap <33 it truly got the hamster wheel in my mind going
(Check out the art here!!!)
Soap wasn't sure how long he'd been here. He and Gaz had been together on assignment to investigate a moon where a particularly strong force signature had pinged recently. There was suspicion that a Sith artifact was located there and they wanted to make sure it didn't fall into the wrong hands.
Unfortunately, the entire thing had been a trap. He was pretty sure Gaz had managed to make it out when he'd dove into a swarm of droids. The last thing he remembered was seeing the familiar face of Count Dooku before falling unconscious.
Ever since then, he'd been kept in a cell. A few times he'd been poked and prodded. He wasn't sure what they wanted with him, but the combination of minimal food and the Force suppression collar around his neck was making the time tick by like molasses. Most of the time he meditated while trying to overhear any speck of information that he could, which wasn't much.
The sheer emptiness of it all was almost worse. Maybe they were trying to drive him mad with silence and isolation.
He just had to hope that Gaz was coming back with a rescue party. He wasn't even 100% sure if he was still on the same moon. The only thing he could see from his confinement was the metal-lined hallway and the empty cells beside him.
During his fourth rest cycle, he heard footsteps down the hallway. He did his best to keep calm, taking in slow, steadying breaths. The person who came around the corner was a face he hadn't seen in a while.
The dark cloak swished out behind them as they came to a halt. The smirk on their face was the same one Soap remembered from the few times they were in lessons together.
"Well Phillip, you certainly weren't who I was expecting to see today." He drawled.
"After all these years and they couldn't quite beat the snark out of you could they? And that's Darth Gravis to you," Phillip replied.
Soap snorted. "Really? Darth Gravis? I'm sorry, but I'm nae gonna take you very seriously when I still remember you tripping into the fountain during our forms."
Phillip's eyebrow ticked, but otherwise he kept his face a mixture of arrogant and angry. "When I heard they'd gotten their hands on you, I told them isolation wasn't going to work. But I needed time to get here and I wanted to make sure I was the first one to get my hands on you John." He tilted his head and two droids opened up the cell. The smirk on his face grew as he took a step forward. Soap just stayed in his lotus position.
"By the time I'm done with you, we'll see how seriously you take me."
It had started simple, things Soap had expected. His ribs were bruised and each breath came out with a slight wheeze, but he could take it.
The harder part was the intrusions. Being cut off from the force while feeling someone else's slimy, icher of a presence oozing through his thoughts and tearing down his walls was agonizing. He held in his screams the best he could, making his tongue bleed in the process.
"All those feelings and you're still in the precious Order, huh? Do you think that big bastard actually cares for you that way?" Gravis drawled one time as Soap was hunched over on the floor, trying to catch his breath as blood trickled out of his nose. 
"I watched the footage, you know. We keep most footage of the 'important experiments.' It'd be almost admirable that he isn't dark if it weren't for the fact that he's just so weak. You should've seen him. Pathetic honestly the way he-"
Not many things had gotten to Soap, but with his shields already low and his emotions in fray, hearing him talk about him that way made Soap snap. He lunged forward, slamming himself into Gravis's legs. With his hands still bound behind him, there wasn't much he could do before the droids grabbed him and threw him back against the other wall.
Gravis laughed as he stood up and dusted himself off. "My my, got you riled up didn't I?" He spit to the side. "Let's see if you're just as pathetic as he is."
------------
Ghost hadn't felt Soap in 5 days. While he didn't constantly check on their force bond, he didn't realize how much he felt it until it suddenly shut off.
He can remember the moment it happened with stark clarity. He'd been helping around at the town he was currently staying in, carrying some supplies to help rebuild a health center that had collapsed, when it was like everything went silent.
He froze mid step as he rapidly tried to figure out what on earth had just happened. He couldn't even pinpoint what was wrong or why everything felt slightly off until he assessed his bonds... and realized he couldn't feel Soap.
Ghost didn't have many force bonds still. The ones he had with his old master weren't the strongest and the ones that had been almost forced upon him during-
Well, he didn't have many force bonds anymore for a reason. Soap was about the only one, though Price had one too.
Ghost didn't know what to do. He'd immediately tried to reach out to Soap's comms to no success. The last thing they'd talked about was that he was going to be away on a mission with Garrick-
His comm rang. 
He answered without hesitation. Maybe it was Soap from a different-
"Soap's gone."
It was Garrick. Ghost clenched his comm unit as he stared at the holographic form of the other Jedi, who seemed just fine-
"Where."
"We were on a moon in the Pelgrin sector. It was a trap and he was taken." Garrick said, getting straight to the point.
Ghost immediately started walking back to where he was staying. He had a small ship. It would take him at least 3 days to make it that far. He was already plotting his course when he realized Garrick was still talking.
"-ooku but I don't know if he's still on that moon. Ghost. The Order is going to want to try and go after him too but they won't just storm in. I don't- You know why I'm calling you, right?" 
Ghost grunted. Of course he did. The Order wouldn't be as efficient as he could be, with their bureaucratic tape. There were very few things he missed about the Order, but the political ties that had developed over the recent decades wasn't one of them. 
"I'm on my way. If you get any updates, contact me." He said, disconnecting the call before Garrick could say anything else.
His ship already had rations on it, but he made sure to gather a few more as well as a few additional medical supplies before leaving, despite wanting to peel out as soon as possible. When he punched in the route, he cursed under his breath at the time. Every moment felt like one too many, and he couldn't even be certain that they'd still be there when he arrived.
But he'd have time to make some calls along the way, put some feelers out. He knew who he could trust with this information.
As it was nearing the last day of his trek, he'd gotten word back that Soap was likely not far from where he'd been taken. A ship had been spotted briefly in orbit tucked behind a nearby asteroid. One wouldn't easily spot it if they didn't know what they were looking for.
Ghost took in a deep breath as he started to make a plan. The main thing he had to do was get in, but once that happened-
Well, he wasn't worried too much about whatever might be between him and Soap. It wouldn't be there long.
-----------
They didn't move him afterwards. He was left lying in a cooling pile of his own blood. His forehead was up against the metal floor as he tried to take slow breaths despite his protesting lungs which were both sore and burning as he stretched the cauterized wounds across his chest.
"I'm one with the force and the force is with me." He whispered to himself softly. He took in a slow breath through his nose but it was interrupted by a cough he tried to suppress. He spit up some blood and groaned, trying to take better note of his body.
It felt like half of him was offline, a combination of numbness and tingling stretching across his system. He worked slowly, wiggling each individual finger before he finally felt like he might be able to lift himself up to a seated position.
That's when he heard the gunshots.
He froze, uncertain at first where they were coming from. That's when he realized they were deeper in the building.
... Was someone here for him finally?
He felt a stronger wave of renewed motivation flow through him as he managed to get back to a seated position with only minimal groans and winces of pain. 
"I'm one with the force and the force is with me." He said again, slightly firmer as he tried to calm the ringing in his ears so he could take better stock of where the fighting was happening.
It sounded like it was closer. Was it getting closer?
Suddenly the door down the hall opened, but the gunshots didn't get louder. Instead, he heard the familiar thrum of a lightsaber igniting.
"Well, well, what did I tell them? I knew he'd come for you." Gravis said as he stepped into the cell Soap was in. His red saber crackled angrily as he slowly lifted it, coming to a stop just under Soap's chin.
Soap took in a shaky breath as he looked up at Gravis, holding his chin as steady as he could.
"Sidious has been wanting him back, for another test run. He's certain he can break him this time." Gravis drawled. "I'm not sure why he wants that pathetic thing, but you were just bait." He smirked. "Don't worry, your usefulness hasn't run out yet. I think it'd be more impactful if you were around during the conditioning this time. Toy with his mind a bit. Or maybe we can make him kill you himself, hm? See if we can turn that rage the right direction-"
Another door opened and this time the gunshots were next to none. "Darth Gravis! The force user, he's-" a droid started to say when suddenly the sound of metal hitting the floor rang through the hall.
"My my, took you long enough to get here Simon," Gravis said, looking over but not moving his saber an inch. "Go on Johnny, say hello to him. It's only polite."
Ghost's eyes snapped over to where he was seated on the floor. Despite not being able to feel their force bond like he usually could, Soap could still catalog the emotions running across his face. Ghost's eyes went from him to the puddle of the blood on the floor and back up to the lightsaber at his throat.
Soap saw his hands tighten on the grip of his saber.
"You're just as feeble as I remember Gravis," Ghost rumbled, "Could never pick a fair fight because you knew you'd lose. Beating up on someone who's chained up and disconnected from the force? Does that make you feel stronger?"
Soap saw Gravis's expression flare with anger. The saber was immediately withdrawn and directed towards Ghost.
"You were all but scraped off the floor when you 'escaped.' You know he LET you go right? Someone as simple as you could never have made it out on your own." Gravis snarled. "I've seen the tapes. You're not even worth his time!"
Ghost slid into a fighting stance, not breaking eye contact with Gravis. "And yet he's taking his time trying to lure me back, when he's got a lap dog already drooling to do as he says. Do you feel replaceable yet mutt?"
Gravis snarled louder and immediately launched himself towards Ghost, who blocked him flawlessly. Where Gravis's attacks were fury and erratic, Ghost was as steady and smooth as ever. He looked like he was hardly breaking a sweat as Gravis danced around him.
"Face it Gravis, you were always meant to beg for scraps. If you were truly good enough you wouldn't be the one running errands to try to lure in another apprentice would you?"
This made Gravis lunge, but it was exactly what Ghost wanted to happen. He quickly grabbed Gravis by the shoulder, blocking his saber and throwing him to the floor. He stomped onto the hand that was holding his saber and Gravis shouted as he dropped it. 
Ghost stared down at him for a moment. 
Gravis glared, reaching up a hand, clearly about to use the force, when Ghost's expression finally broke. He curled his upper lip before gripping the air in front of him, easily lifting up Gravis from the floor before quickly slamming him back into it.
Ghost only looked at his limp form for a moment more before he immediately spun and sprinted over to Soap.
Soap looked up at him, cracking a small smile, though he was sure the blood covering his gums wasn't helping. "Hey Ghostie."
The brooding man dropped to his knees and quickly reached around Soap's neck. Soap felt the collar's latch release before he heard it, as the feeling of the Force flooded back into him. 
It was like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long.
"Oh Force," he breathed.
Immediately the next thing he felt was the cacophony of emotions flooding off of Ghost. "Ghost, I-"
"Don't move Johnny," Ghost said, his tone gruffer than normal. Johnny held still as Ghost deftly cut through the cuffs keeping his hands behind his back. When his hands were free, he slowly moved them around to his front, rubbing his wrists gently. 
"Thank you," he said, realizing how fucked his voice sounded. He's sure it wasn't helping the growing concern Ghost was expressing.
"How broken are you?" Ghost asked.
"Ah, it looks worse than i' is," Soap said, but his point was a bit ruined when he had a coughing fit at the end that left him light headed.
Suddenly, the world around him shifted. He yelped and his position adjusted. Soap blinked and realized how close he was to Ghost's face now, the strong arms wrapped around him. 
Ghost didn't look down at him, taking long strides back through the facility, completely ignoring the graveyard of droids around him. "I have medical supplies on the ship. I'm going to put you there before I come back and... finish what needs to be done in here."
"Ah've seen my share of death before Ghost, you didn' have'ta shield me from that."
Ghost let out a slow breath but didn't reply. 
"Aye, you can' ignore me when I'm this close'ta your face," Soap said.
Finally he saw the hint of a smile under Ghost's usual face scarf. "Mm, I could try."
"Ah you could, but I don' think you traveled all the way here to save me because you don' like me."
Ghost glanced down at him, his brown eyes showing just as much as their force bond revealed. "... Johnny."
Johnny reached up a hand and cupped Ghost's face. "Thank you for comin' for me."
"My head's too quiet without you in it," he replied, pausing for a moment. "... I'll always come for ya Johnny."
There was a joke on the tip of his tongue, but his heart was too happy to make it at the moment. "I know you would Simon."

note: tysm for all your sweet wishes, ilysm. this one for you. i know i wasn't here much. srry about that.

Simon Ghost Riley
tired.
he is tired. Ghost, a mere void, a lost soul trying to find it's purpose again. despite the flame and the determination, he still holds a deep gush from the past nothing can ease. Nonetheless, he doesn't let it affect him. Everyday, he shoves the thoughts to the back of his mind, deciding to rethink them all one day.
He thought that day won't come till he met you. It would take some time, the healing path is long. Might as well hold his hand tightly.
Gaz
underrated.
He is never enough. No matter how much he puts in the work, there is always a tid missing. It consumes his sanity and leaves him countless nights hopeless. The dark circles he earned are from late workout sessions, long training outside the field. He thought he'd end up being the best, he was left to nothing.
You picked him up, dusted off his clothes and shared with him a cup of tea. He didn't say much, though his silence was louder than any words. He was grateful.
John Price
old?
It didn't affect him much, people's words were nothing to him, yet he wished he met you when he was younger. He knows he isn't exactly old. But he isn't young neither.
This absurdity left him in a foolish state. Sometimes, he'd even push you away, before crawling again in your arms. Whispering apologies mixed with meloncholy. You hugged him tightly, promising to be there till the end.
Soap
Peaceful.
He might've be unserious sometimes, but at heart, he has a dream. He reminded himself of that purpose consistently, trying his best to fullfil his desire for peace. How funny, a soldier wishing for peace? He thought about it for years, slowly realizing it was impossible for him.
You proved to him peace isn't about your surroundings, but about your heart.
He never felt more seren than after he slid that ring in your finger, in front of all his friends and family.
Alejandro Vargas
Passionate.
He loves, and when he does, he commits; Holly, utterly, with his very being. But, it hurts when he puts his trust in the wrong person. He was hurt, bruised, betrayed countless times. The scars on his body and the wounds in his heart a proof to the pain he held all those years.
It was until he met you, he realized what love is. The colonel fell to his knees, shedding tears of unspoken woe he held. You were there to ease his pain.
Rudy Parra
Quiet.
He is silence, a peaceful madness, an angry ocean, a loud thunder striking. He never lets his anger blind him. He was silent, collected, counting every step he takes. Silence was sometimes too loud. Sometimes, he wished he could vanish, dissaper in a beat and never come back. When his time comes, he wishes to be buried in your smile, where he can find eternal peace.
Phillip Graves
Vulnerable.
He never knew how to be, he thought being a commander means he should be collected, stoic. He buried his feelings, fears and doubts inside. Letting them accumulate till it overflew, leaving him in disaster. He shattered after a failed mission. And, for the first time, he let you pick up the pieces, putting him together like a broken vase. You looked upon his baby blues, letting peace wash over him.

Phillip has to leave for work at the worst time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Phillip knew he shouldn't laugh, that would only encourage you but as you geared up to run away from him after flicking powdered sugar at the face, he couldn't help himself. You took off, and he followed hot on your heels, reaching his long arms out as you dodged away from him. "Come here now, you little brat."
You looked behind you and stuck out your tongue. "Nope."
You took off up the stairs, doing your best to evade him as he grew closer. He finally grabbed you just as you tried to enter the bedroom. He grinned and pressed his lips to your ear. "Be good for me and I won't spank you too hard, unless you want me to." You struggled, knowing you wouldn't be able to break free, and he walked you to the bed. "That is what you want, isn't it?"
You nipped his hand, not hard enough to hurt but hard enough to let him know the game was still on, and he chuckled as he threw you over his knee. "Alright then, you're asking for it."
The pause before he ripped your pants down let you know he was waiting for you to consent. "Yes, I am."
Your skin erupted in goosebumps as the cool air hit it, and his hand came down in a solid smack. "Like that, or softer or harder?"
He gave you another one at the same force, and you felt heat spread through your core. "Like that."
His hand came down twice again, once on each cheek, before his hand rubbed your skin soothingly. "Ok, Darlin', I hear you loud and clear.
The hits kept coming until you were limp and panting on his lap and his hand slid slowly from where it was calming the skin on your ass to your core. "Fucking shit you're wet." His fingers moved through the mess between your legs before his thumb found your clit as he pushed two of his thick fingers inside you.
Your brain was so fuzzy you could barely moan, and not even the sound of his phone ringing broke you from the haze as you started to climb the peak. The hand on your back left you while his fingers stayed between your legs. "What the fuck do you want? I'm very busy right now with something important."
The authority in his tone only served to make things worse, and he felt a huff when he felt you clench around his fingers. He wasn't giving the voice on the other end time to reply, and he was getting more and more angry as they spoke. "For fucks sake, I'll be there but whoever let this happen is in so much shit they're going to wish I shot them."
He hung up the phone, and his fingers slowed before he finally pulled his hand away and helped you sit up. His hand was on your cheek, stroking softly as he brought you back to earth, but you were already halfway there with the sudden change. You blinked and took in a shuddering breath. "Is everything alright?"
He ground his jaw and pressed his lips together to stop himself from swearing. "Shit's gone sideways at work and they need me there." He pressed his forehead to yours as you leaned your weight onto him. "I hate leaving you like this y/n but I gotta go. I'll be home as soon as I can."
You nodded. "It's ok, I understand. I'll be fine."
He smiled softly and gave you a gentle kiss. "Ok, I text you as much as I can."
You kissed him back and did your best to collect yourself. "Alrighty then. I'll be fine, don't worry. I love you."
He pecked you quickly as he moved away from you. "Love you too."
His hand lingered on your cheek as he got up and left, and with another breath, you went downstairs to clean the mess you had left in the kitchen.
As the afternoon went on, you only felt worse, a bone deep tiredness settling into your bones as your emotions grew more and more unpleasant. You did your best to fix it. You had something to eat and drink, went on a walk and took a nap, but nothing helped, and by the time Phillip had returned, you could feel a shake starting in your hands.
The dam finally broke when you laid eyes on him, and panic stole the breath from your chest as he rushed over. "Hey, hey, what's going on."
You tried to take a deep breath and gestured to your throat, and he placed both hands on your face as he looked into your eyes. "You're having a panic attack." His jaw clenched he took a deep breath to stop himself from losing his temper. "I'm not surprised with how I left you."
He took your hand and placed it on his chest, taking a deep breath before speaking. "Breathe with me Darlin, just try and match me." Your chest heaved, and he smiled softly. "Just like that, good girl."
It didn't take long for you to calm down and he took you into his arms as you started to cry. "I'm sorry, I'm being silly."
He stiffened, and his voice turned stern. "Hey, I never want to hear that again. This was my fault, and the last thing you're being is silly." You buried your head in his chest as he rubbed his hand up and down your back.
"Thank you." Aside from feeling like you could sleep for a year, you were starting to feel like yourself again.
He pressed a kiss to the top of your head and helped you stand up. "How about a nice hot bath?"
You nodded. "I'd like that."
He smiled and took your hand. "Great."

GUESS WHO FINALLY WROTE THESE 💀 Sorry it took a hot minute to finish these- I got distracted, on another note there's gonna be some small Ghost Headcannons soon lmao. AAA it's nearly half 1 in the morning- I need to go to sleeppp
Regressor!Phillip Graves Headcannons
Tumblr media
He's just small kiddo bless him, 0-4 age range.
He denies that he needs to regress/that he does. "I'm a man I don't need stupid stuff like that to cope." (Yes. Yes he does.)
So emotional. Anything and everything can and will set him off.
^ Gets so emotional when alone. He needs a Caregiver to help ground him because he's just too small, he needs cuddles and to be held and told that he isn't bad.
He's a biter. This goes for clothes, toys, and even people. Clothes and toys are normally just because of his young age however people tend to be when he's upset about everything. He doesn't want to hurt anyone or be bad he just gets overwhelmed quickly and if someone is there it normally make that worse, his default reaction is to do something that will get them to leave. (Chances are no he doesn't actually want them to leave, he just needs support.) It's made so much worse by Graves knowing that he shouldn't, it's instinct. He doesn't know why he bites the hand that feeds him. He is in constant need of reassurance that he shouldn't have done it but no one is angry at him for it, no one hates him for a reaction that he couldn't control at the moment. He can't tell the difference between the hand that wants to help him and the hand that wants to hurt him..
He has a duffle bag that he keeps his little gear in. He also stores an oversized hoodie, the hoodie is large and makes him feel small, it's plain black and very comfortable, therefore it's very discreet. It's only real purpose is to initially hide his regression gear if the bag is opened.
Graves is terrified that people won't want to be around him anymore. He gets these thoughts at random and it will completely consume his thoughts until he's reassured otherwise.
Punishments really just can't be done, it triggers him. He needs someone to talk through whatever he's 'in trouble' for and explain.
He cannot be put into timeout he will hyperventilate and has got to the point of passing out before.
On a bit of a happier note he is the utter cutest just curiously toddling around, taking in his surroundings like it's the first time he's ever seen it. (Even if he's seen it a million times before)
When he's deep in his headspace he finds himself scared of Ghost. (It's the mask.)
He had a freakout once and the others (Soap, Gaz and Ghost) were in the room. They were all regressed and no-one knew what to do without a Caregiver there to help out, helping Graves was always hard but Gaz wanted to try and do something. Gaz gets hit a few times in the process of getting close to him but he is eventually able to calm Graves down, running his hands in the younger boys hair.
When it comes to hanging out with other Regressors Gaz is definitely his favourite to be around, he just knows how to calm him down.
Colouring in >>>
If Price or Ghost cradle and/or rock him like a baby it's game over. He's asleep within 10 minutes. ❤️

So I love @sea-owl Philip and Penelope friendship aus and I just thought of a very funny scene for a modern take based on something that happened to me today lol
So this is a reverse stuck in the elevator trope but with a Philip and Penelope misunderstanding
Philip is in the elevator getting ready to go pick up his kids from a playdate at Daphne's penthouse, and Penelope runs in the elevator Absolutely in a rush, because she's trying to get away from the rain outside, she happens to be wearing a wool dress that's evidently absorbed all the water of the storm because she got caught in the storm without an umbrella and is desperate to get to Daphne's and change before she catches a cold.
so she gets in the elevator with Philip and the elevator malfunctions and stops working, after a few minutes shivering in her dripping dresss Penelope let's go of her pride and asks Philip if he wouldn't happened to have a shirt lying around in his suitcase and Phillip, who knows Penelope is a friend Marina's, being the nice person he is who obviously wants to help her, seeing she's obviously so cold decides on an emergency solution.
Meaning he doesn't think it trough and takes off his jacket to offer Penelope his own oversized Polo Shirt, because the elevator is broken and who knows how long they'll be stuck there. He'd rather she be a bit dry, even if it leaves him in his undershirt, Phillip goes as far as offering Penelope his pants too, but she respectfully declines, seeing as his shirt is long enough to be used as a dress if needs to be. Penelope is so desperate to get dry she accepts his help.
Phillip turns around, closes his eyes and Penelope changes from her drenched dress into his oversized shirt. But just as Phillip is about to put on his jacket again and Penelope is trying make herself presentable: the elevator starts working again
And before our two protagonist can do much about it, the doors of the elevator open.... Right Infront a shocked Colin Bridgerton and his sister Eloise
Colin looks at Penelope Dressed in Phillip's shirt, he also looks at Phillip without his jacket, dressed only in his undershirt and his pants half undone, Penelope visibly disheveled and starts seeing red, while Eloise just stares at the half undressed Phillip. Too shocked for words, but also seriously angry
Colin is seething. Eloise starts going on a tirade
Meanwhile Penelope and Phillip are like "We swear this isn't what it looks like!"
Looking like this, nobody is going to believe they're perfect strangers to each other

[my gift for @thecooleraveragejamm , for @mcyt-valentines !]
Okay, so!
My giftee was interested in c!Technoblade and a playlist, so I made a little song cycle! The cycle is in 8 parts (acts) with 7 songs each, and the whole thing will take just under 3 hours to listen to, with each individual act being 20-25 minutes. I'm posting the graphics, song lists, and spotify playlists (there are 8 separate playlists) in order, but if spotify isn't your jam, isn't accessible, or if you'd rather all in one go, at the end of this post (along with some more info about the cycle) is a youtube playlist that contains all 56 songs all at once!
Tumblr media
Act 1: World Conqueror • I'm Born to Run (American Authors) • Taking Over the World (Coyote Theory) • Aulon Raid (The Mountain Goats) • Renegades (X Ambassadors) • Ends of the Earth (Lord Huron) • Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Lorde) • Immortals (Fall out Boy)

I tried to pick music that aesthetically, musically, and lyrically matched c!Techno's vibes--the playlist follows his story from pre-DSMP to post-Doomsday (so not the whole thing, but a nice, peaceful ending point). The intention is for you to follow c!Techno's journey as you listen, and I think this playlist has a rather nice message about finding yourself and finding peace through rather hostile circumstances and worldviews. It gave me a lot of peace and joy to make, and I hope you enjoy, giftee and anyone else, and have fun listening! Youtube Link

Hay look i did a thing >.>
@letssofia3006 did this rad mashup of  Alex Lawther (phillip’s VA) reading this monologue with the Belos theme and it was just to perfect. I also copied their good good art of Phillip at Caleb’s grave for one of the shots (with permission) so go love their beautifully rendered version.

I love the idea of Eloise having a wild night and waking up married.
Add in her being afraid of commitment.
Her family discovering her marriage.
Her discovering her new husband has 2 rambunctious children.
It would make for a pretty interesting hangover.
How do you think it would all shake out?
Anon asked:
I remember you writing a scenario where Eloise and Phillip woke up married.
I love the accidentally married trope.
I would love to see Eloise find out phillip was not only her husband but the father of Two lil' shits. Instant marriage and instant motherhood.
I have to go find it but I think I remember. It was like one of two scenarios and this one was philoise waking up married. But I got you. Let me think of something fun.
I got an idea.
Phillip did not appreciate the pounding headache when he woke up that morning. Nor did he remember how he got back in his own bed. God he was gonna kill Michael. That hellion used the excuse that it was his birthday yesterday to get Phillip and Penelope to join him in getting utterly wasted at the bar. Michael had said something about them getting the sticks out of their asses and . . .letting go?
Phillip would roll his eyes if he could open them. The last time he followed Michael's definition of letting go, it ended with him becoming a father to twins after a one night stand with Penelope's cousin. So yeah, Phillip made it a rule to keep the drinking to a minimum in public.
A feminine moan was heard next to Phillip.
Phillip shot his eyes open, and hissed as the light hit them. Damn headache, damn Michael. Turning on his side he was not expecting to see a pretty brunette sleeping in the same bed as him. Oh no. Not again!
Phillip is gonna kill Michael.
Detangling himself from the sheets Phillip walked to the adjoining bathroom to find himself some aspirin and get this god awful taste out of his mouth. He has to find Penelope and Michael. He prays one of them remembers what happened, and one of them can keep Oliver and Amanda distracted while Phillip deals with the mystery woman in his bed.
Leaving a glass of water and an aspirin on the nightstand Phillip noticed a ring on her left finger.
No, no, no, no! Please don't be a one night stand. Please don't let it be a one night stand! He really needs to find Michael or Penelope so they can tell him he did not have a one night stand with a married woman!
Rushing out of his room Phillip followed the scent of breakfast down to the kitchen where he found his best friends. Michael was whistling while making waffles, eggs, bacon, and toast. Penelope was nursing one of those sugary caffeine monstrosities she keeps in his fridge. No sign of the twins though.
"Where are Oliver and Amanda?" Phillip asked.
"Their room," Penelope yawned. "I told them one of us would get them when breakfast was ready."
Phillip nodded. Good the twins didn't need to overhear this conversation. "Do either of you remember what happened last night?"
Penelope squinted, her lips slightly pouted. "Nothing much after arriving to the bar. We wished Michael a happy birthday. Maybe some dancing?"
Michael laughed. "You found yourself a pretty little lady to dance with Pip."
"Anything after?" Phillip asked.
Both Michael and Penelope shook their heads. Phillip groaned, face palming. Great neither of them are aware of the potential bomb up in his bed.
Penelope's sweet voice brought him back. "Pip? Are you okay?"
"Not really," Phillip sighed. "There's a strange woman in my bed currently, and she is potentially married."
Penelope's jaw dropped, Michael started to giggle. Both Phillip and Penelope sent their friend a glare.
"Michael this isn't funny! Phillip can't afford to have any more kids from one night stands! He's already got the twins!"
"And if she is married then we got an angry husband to deal with too," Phillip added on.
"Yeah but Pip, are you sure you aren't the husband?" Michael pointed to Phillip's left hand.
Phillip looked down. On his left ring finger was a ring. It wasn't the classic gold band but one of those cheap plastic ones one would win as some sort of prize at a festival.
Dear god what did he do last night?
"Who are you?"
All three friends froze. Shit that was the twins. Which means the mystery lady was up.
Rushing towards the dinning room where they heard the twins they came to the sight of Oliver and Amanda staring down Phillip's mystery lady.
The brunette looked towards the other adults. "Michael?"
Phillip caught sight of her left hand. Now in the light the ring looked just as cheap and plastic as the one on Phillip's hand. Actually it looked like it would work as a set with the one on Phillip's hand.
"Eloise?!" Michael exclaimed. He looked from the brunette to Phillip before bursting out laughing. "Oh Pip! This is the best birthday gift you could have given me!"

Some thoughts on a non-romantic relationship as I rewatch 9-1-1 and cry hysterically:
Bobby Nash lost his WHOLE family. Lost his kids and his wife and he never once forgave himself for it. But he took one look at Buck and it was like, "Oh, that one. It's him. That's my son." He took one look at Buck and saw him. He noticed Buck struggling, he noticed Buck pain and being lost. And he didn't know why, and he kept his distance because of his own kids, but he still took care of him. He still did everything in his power to keep him safe and fight for him even when Buck made it hard. And Buck did make it hard in a way, (not because he's hard to love, but because he's convinced he's expendable, he's convinced he doesn't matter, he's self-destructive and hard to keep safe) but despite it all, Bobby cares. He saw this sad, broken mess of a boy and they clicked right away. It was like it was meant to be, despite Buck not being from him he was meant to find Bobby and be his kid. In any lifetime and in any universe.
And Buck? He is self-destructive. He thinks his only worth is helping others, even if it's self-destructive and kills him. And who did that to him besides Margaret and Phillip? Who treated him like he was expendable, who only had him to save their other child and it failed. He was born to save others and it's all he can do now.
(Oh, you want to know why I'm in therapy? It's because I have spent my entire life feeling like a constant disappointment. You want to talk about our jobs? You think my job is dangerous? I have walked through fire every single day of my life because of you! That is why I'm in therapy because nothing I ever did was good enough!
We tried but you always-you never made it easy on us! Either one of you!
We were supposed to? We were kids!
Evan, I don't know what you expected us to do!
Love me anyway)
Buck is self-destructive, and kind and will help anyone he can, even if he goes about it the wrong way. Buck has been made to feel small and useless if he's not saving others even if it kills him and Bobby sees that. Buck has the mentality of a teenager and will do anything and everything for attention. Who desperately wants to be loved and cared for, but no one ever stays. And Bobby? He stayed and he fought for him and he cares. Bobby sees a hurt kid who is so easy to love despite Bucks' flaws. Bobby notices the flaws and hurt but loves him anyway. Even if Bobby sometimes handles Buck's tendencies the wrong way. Buck gave up on a family a long time ago, but Bobby gives him one. He gives him the 118 and himself and Athena. Bobby sees this abandoned boy and thinks, "Yes, this one is mine." And Buck doesn't fully process that he will always have Bobby. (Even after the lawsuit. When Buck was convinced Bobby was abandoning him, Bobby was terrified of losing him. He was trying to protect his son.) Bobby gives him Hen, Chimney, Eddie, and Athena. He lets him into his home when it's the 118 and when Bobby moves in with Athena, Athena gives him a home. Athena knows Buck is theirs and gives him a place to go whenever he needs. Bobby and Athena see through him and love him anyway. They're hell-bent on showing him, "We see your flaws, we see how hurt and angry you are and we love you anyway." And Buck doesn't always know how to handle it. He thinks he's expendable, like he doesn't matter if he's not saving others. And Bobby? No matter how angry Buck makes him, he forgives him always. He loves him despite it all. Bobby who rushed to the hospital despite his frustration when he thought Buck was hurt. Bobby lets Buck control the pace of their relationship, Bobby who is patient loving and will always help his son when he can. Bobby is hard on Buck, because he cares. Bobby doesn't want to lose another kid. Bobby who makes Buck one of his lucky numbers.
(Mom brought two kids into this marriage, you brought one.)
Buck isn't used to being fought for, loved or cared for. And Bobby knows that. Bobby will always have a home for him and will always love him despite everything. And Bobby will always love him, and Buck is learning that. Buck is learning that Bobby loves him even when he's angry and lashing out. They'll always find their way back to each other because they're a parent and child. No matter how old Buck is. The whole 118 is Bobby's family, the first one since his died. But Buck? Buck is his son, and nothing can beat that. And everyone will always know that. And Buck? Buck helped teach Bobby to trusting open again. He taught him it's okay to have a family again. And Bobby needed that. Bobby saw a kid lost and adrift with a terrible family and wants to help, but feels so guilty. But Buck helps hold and support him when Bobby relapses but sees a dad in him anyways. And Bobby needed him just as much as Buck needed Bobby. They needed each other. They found a family in each other and found it.

Voice of the Karen: Our coupons only expired yesterday! We should turn them in, and she refuses to accept them, then call the bloody manager! Oh and this dreary store could certainly use some Christmas music! Hold on, play this one! That would certainly liven this place up a bit!
Voice of the Hero: Uhh…are you sure that's a good idea? She looks like she'd absolutely hate that right now.
Voice of the Karen: Who cares if she hates it! My music taste is impeccable, plus we can always get her fired if she verbally assaults us!
Narrator: You're supposed to slay the princess not-
Voice of the Karen: Oh shut up! The PRINCESS is in our minivan, outside. With her friends. Waiting for us to get them some food before we get them to soccer practice.
Voice of the Hero: Wait wait wait!…when did we get a car…or-or kids! For that matter.
Voice of the Karen: Shut up. Now, play this song, I'm sure everyone will just LOVE this!
Narrator: sigh You play 'All I Want For Christmas' by 'Mariah Carey'. The entire cabi- I mean, store, becomes engulfed in festive cheer. The princess looks at you with wide, dead eyes.
The Retailer: "That horrible song. Again."
Voice of the Karen: HORRIBLE?!?! Why I oughta-
Voice of the Hero: Maybe we should turn that off, I don't like how she's staring at us.
Voice of the Karen: MANAGER! CALL THE MANAGER!
Slayer: "It's not a horrible song! It's art! Maybe if you opened up your cold dead heart, you'd be able to appreciate it!"
Narrator: The princess smiles sardonically, her voice strained.
The Retailer: "That song is the reason my heart is 'cold' and 'dead' in the first place."
Narrator: Her smiles drops, her eyes still hauntingly wide.
The Retailer: "Now turn it off. Or else."
Voice of the Karen: Report her to the manager! She's threatening violence against us!
Voice of the Hero: She didn't threaten us though? Maybe we should turn it off. She looks…angry.
Narrator: Maybe you should listen to that little voice. If she gets angry, she might destroy the world. My world.
Voice of the Karen: No! No! We're reporting her to the manager now! No hesitating!
Slayer (Karen): "Are you…threatening me..? GET ME YOUR MANAGER! NOW! YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS JOB! I should know, the customers always right!"
Narrator: Are you serious? Are we really doing this? sigh As you continue berate the princess and threaten to get her fired, she closes her eyes with a relaxed smile. Then…you hear the sound of something piercing through skin and muscle before you feel the cold sensation. As you look down, you find a phillips screwdriver embedded in your chest. The princess must've stabbed you while you were ranting. As you look back up at her, you notice the shift in her expression, her previously tired, dead eyes now look at you with an unrestrained fury. She isn't smiling. She throws the barcode scanner at your head with such strength and accuracy that you are knocked down.
You hear her jump over the counter and see her stand over you, she leans down to look at you with what is clearly a mocking smile.
The Retailer: "Oh, I'll take you to meet the manager, alright?"
Narrator: She takes a 'Live. Love. Laugh.' ceramic mug that you had bought from your bag, and then raises it high over your head. She brings it down at once, smashing it into your face, then again. And again, until it finally breaks, and the broken pieces stick themselves into your bruises and your eyes. The rest of the pieces clatter on the ground. You feel another sharp pain in the chest, right in your heart, as she rips the Phillips screwdriver out of the previous hole in your chest and drives it through your ribs and into your vital organ. Over and over again until you're sure your ribs are no less broken than your mug.
sigh
Everything goes dark, and you die.

I AM SO SO SORRY I WAS GOING TO POST THE MOON JUMPER THING BUT MY ASKS BUGGERED OUT AND I ACCIDENTALLY HAD TO DELETE IT-
I never played a hat in time but I researched moonjumper for this and found out they were like a puppeteer of sorts. I hope that's what you meant.
YAN! PHILLIP, ADRIAN, AND DARIUS WITH (CREEPY) PUPPETEER READER
✰PHILLIP✰
Tumblr media
He had found you when outside of Bonesborough. He had been trying to find Caleb after his brother walked too far from him.
He stumbled upon you who was perched on top of a rock and putting on a little show for yourself. You seemed to not really notice the human until you felt the feeling of eyes on you.
Once spotting Phillip you practically begged him to sit down and watch the show. Phillip isn't a man who can easily be persuaded by looks but how could he saw no to those eyes?
He talked with you after the show and was rather shocked to find out that you were rather a creepster. Your laugh sounded like one that was a bit too happy for any normal witch to have, as well as your shrunken pupils that looked as if it's seen every war in existence. You weren't rude or angry or any of that. It was more so that you just had a crazed look to you that brought chills down the humans spine.
In some way, he had to respect that you weren't hiding your crude-ity like other witches do. He might even find himself going back towards these little shows of yours, even if it's just to talk to you.
It was rather nice to have private little shows waiting for him just out of town. If he's feeling kind one day, he might even bring Caleb with him to one of your shows one day.
If anyone else finds out that you exist though, you might have to get sued to doing those shows in his home.
☪︎DARIUS☪︎
Tumblr media
He wasn't really the type to leave Bonesborough but after the golden guard went on a mission that caused him to get a sprained ankle, he decided to take up some of Hunters shifts so the poor kid can rest.
He was on his way back from the mission when he spotted you. You were just kind of sitting out in the middle of nowhere entertaining yourself when he walked up to you and not so kindly asked what the fuck you were doing.
You were quick to ask him to be a part of the audience and watch the show. He almost laughed at such a proposal. This weird little...thing asking him to sit on the dirty floor and entertain them as they played with dolls? Well...he ended up complying. Mostly because he thought you were like a rapid animal and would bite him if he said no.
He actually ended up enjoying the show and when he came back to the castle from the mission, he proposed that they take you in and keep you to entertain the Scouts to keep their moral and loyalty high, like a jester!! Rebellions had been heightening from their scouts ever since that human came into town after all.
It wasn't long before he decided to privately take back his offer though. After some of the scouts seemed to be enjoying your shows too much for his liking.
Don't you worry your little head though!! You'll still be able to do your shows and have a roof over your head. Just, instead of doing it in the castle, you'll be doing it in a dormitory.
His, to be more specific.
𓆸ADRIAN𓆸
Tumblr media
He didn't find you outside of Bonesborough, unlike the others. He most likely saw you after Darius brought you in as a jester of sorts.
Despite him being a man who adores shows and plays, at first he wouldn't even so much as entertain the idea of your shows. Why should he do such to someone of such low rank? For Titans sake, even the scouts were higher ranks than you!!
He ended up accidentally catching one of your puppet shows though when he was searching for some of his scouts for a little mission at the hexside academy. And you know what? He actually loved it! It wasn't a normal type of theatre, but it was still theatre and you were much better at acting than his scouts. Why, under his wing he could even see you becoming the perfect actor.
So he started to stick around more and more. He got into some shit with Darius for that but as if he was going to stop just to please him. He knew Darius wouldn't do anything. Not unless he wanted to get replaced for the day of unity.
Unlike the others, he didn't wait for jealousy to kick in before scooping you up. He's a bit of a brat and will just take what he wants before anyone else can.
And ultimately, you should be thanking him in his eyes!! Under his wing, not only will you be protected but he is going out of his way to heighten your abilities. Though, worry not! He won't use that against you...at least not yet

"Arrogance may not be a uniquely American trait," Schmidt says as he comes from out of the shadows, "but I must say you do it better than anyone. However, there are limits to what even you can do, Captain. You may have all the powers, Y/N, but they do not compare to what I have in store for the world. Or did Erskine tell you two otherwise?"
"He told me you were insane."
"Ah. He resented my genius and tried to deny me what was rightfully mine, but he gave you everything. So, what made you so special?"
"Nothing. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn," Steve answers.
Schdmit gets angry and punches Steve twice in the jaw, and you yell out for him to stop hurting your friend.
"Don't fucking touch him you piece of shit!"
Schmidt turns to you and grabs your jaw so hard that it starts to leave bruises where his fingers are.
"The power you hold. The things you can do. You'd make a valuable pet, won't you?"
"Go to hell," you spit in his face. He backhands you, sending you crashing into the two guards who are holding you. "We can do this all day."
"I'm sure you could. Unfortunately, I am on a tight schedule."
Schmidt takes out his weapon and points it at Steve's face, but the Captain isn't worried about it. There is a huge window that overlooks the snowy mountains, and Schmidt notices four men o ziplines racing towards the glass.
"So are we."
Schmidt tries to shoot Steve, but he grabs one of his guards and places him in front of himself. The shot disentigrates the guards right as your team busts through the windows. Schmidt takes this moment to escape while your team starts shooting at Hydra. Your team can handle the soldiers while you and Steve search the place for Schmidt.
Peggy, Colonel Phillips, and the rest of the 107th are on stand by, and as soon as they get the word, they all start to move in.
Schmidt is located in one of the tunnels leading further into the base, and Steve rears his hand back that's holding the shield. He swings it so that the shield bounces off the wall and sticks in between the doors that Schmidt escapes through, stopping the doors from completely closing.
You and Steve run toward it but get stopped by a man with flamethrowers. There is a door next to you that you hide behind so that the flames aren't touching you.
"Now can I play?" you ask.
"Give 'em hell."
The man stops using his weapon to see if you're going to come out, and you do. You stand in the middle of the hallway just as he uses his flamethrower on you, but instead of dying like he hopes you would, you absorb all that fire to give you more power. The flamethrower stops but your body is still on fire. You extinguish the flames from toe to head, and you cough to let out the smoke you breathed in.
"My turn," you growl.
You thrust your hands out in front of you and a wall of fire forms between you and the guard. The wall of fire shapes and molds to the hallways dimensions so that the guard has nowhere else to run for safety. You heat the flames ten times hotter than what a human can withstand. When you take a step forward, the wall of fire moves further from you. The guard tries to use his flamethrower but he can't fight fire with fire. The fire is going to kill him whether or not he wants it too. You push the wall of fire down the entire length of the hallway, allowing it to burn the guard's body from the outside in.
By the time the flames die out, he's a charred body on the floor.
"Damn, you didn't have to go so hard," Steve says.
"You said 'give 'em hell', so I did. Let's go."
Steve yanks his shield from between the two doors which close once you two pass through it. Schmidt is already getting on the plane to escape that's at the beginning of a runway. If you don't get on this plane before it takes off, you're not getting on it at all. Soldiers from both sides are fighting everywhere, but you have a way to bypass them all.
"Get ready to fly, Steve."
You grab his upper arms and lift him in the air with your areokinesis. The plane is already taking off but you're faster. You fly with Steve down the runway to catch up to the plane. It has big blades swirling on the back of it that you have to watch out for. One mistake can cost you or Steve's lives.
Schmidt starts to take off just as you landed on the landing tires. They have not yet been pulled back into the plane, giving you the only access available to get Schmidt. You look back at the runway to see Peggy and the Colonel inside a car just watching you take off. She has such a worried look on her face because she cares so much about Steve.
After this, you're going to buy their hotel room.
Once inside the plane, you see bombs with different state names written on the side of them. This Red Skull is going to send bombs to different parts of your country if you don't stop him.
"He's going to kill a lot of people," you whisper.
"Come on."
There isn't a single guard on board which is kind of stupid on Schmidt's part. If he thinks he can outwit both you and Steve, then he's got another thing coming for him. You two make your way into the cockpit where Schmidt is supposed to be. He's not sitting at the control desk so he must be around here somewhere.
"You two just don't give up, do you?"
You turn and see Schdmit holding one of the Tesseract weapons which he fires upon you. Steve uses his shield to protect the both of you so you won't get hit. You send a gust of wind at Schmidt, casing the gun to be knocked out of his hands. 
That gives Steve a fighting chance against him.
"Nope!"
Steve can handle Schmidt all on his own, but if you had the weapon he made from the Tesseract, you can end this whole thing. The weapon is off tot he side just begging someone to use it. As they fight, you manuver around them to get the gun. Schmidt sees what you're doing, so before you can get to the gun, he grabs you and throws you over to the control panel. Your weight causes the panel to be broken in some spots, allowing for auto pilot to be taken off.
The plane goes down but everyone else goes up. There isn't gravity whe you're free falling, which Steve can use to his advantage. You have your air powers to help you stay in one place but Schmidt and Steve don't have that ability. The plane is going to crash if you don't do somethign about it. You have to level her out.
There are a bunch of buttons on the control panel that still work, and thankfully, the auto pilot just needs to be flipped to the "on" position. Steve and Schmidt come crashing down to the ground loudly.
"You could have the power of the Gods! Yet you wear a flag on your chest and think you fight a battle of nations! I have seen the future, Captain! There are no flags!" Schmidt yells.
"Not in my future!"
Steve grabs his shield and throws it at Schmidt, sending him crashing into the middel console. Whatever is inside of it pops out, and you stand there in complete shock from seeing the Tesseract face to face after so many centuries. This thing will give you answers about who you truly are and what power you possess. If you can get it from him, you can start running tests on it.
"The Tesseract," you whisper.
Last you heard it was back on Asgard, so you don't know how it got on Earth to begin with.
"What have you done? No!" Schmidt gasps.
He picks the cube up to study it but the cube has had enough of his constant abuse. Energy starts to pour out of the cube before shooting straight up to the cieling. The Space Stone can be sued a portal to wherever the user wants it to go. Schmidt had no idea of the power it truly possessed, so he doesn't know where he wants to go.
The Tesseract chooses for him, and it creates a portal to somewhere in space. This is what you can do. The Tesseract allows you to create portals to wherever you want to go. You can't do the other side of space, you can't go anywhere you haven't seen before, and you can only make a portal for things a certain distance away from you. You've jumped a few planets at a time, but you've never tried for more than that.
The Tesseract's energy envelopes Schmidt as it transports him somewhere in the universe. You're not sure where, but at elast you'll be rid of him. The cube falls to the ground once Schmidt is gone, but it's so hot that it burns right through the metal of the plane.
"No!"
You try to grab the Tesseract, but it falls through the hole it burned and down to Earth. You could go after it, but Steve needs you right now. He rushes to the control panel to try and find a place to land this plane, but he doesn't know how to fly a plane any more than you do. Schmidt made it so that the plane won't stop until it reaches it's destination--New York.
The only way to land the plane is to crash it.
Steve finds the line of communication in hopes someone out there might hear is distress signal.
"Come in. This is Captain Rogers. Do you read me?"
"Steve, is that you? Are you alright?" Peggy asks from the other side.
"Peggy! Schmidt is gone!" you yell to her.
"What about the plane?"
"That's a little bit tougher to explain."
"Give me your coordinates I'll find you a safe landing site."
"There's not going to be a safe landing, but I can try and force it down," Steve replies.
"I can get us out of here, Steve. I can fly us to safety."
"But then thousands of people will die. We have to land it somehow."
"I'll get Howard on the line he'll know what to do," Peggy says.
"There's not enough time. This thing's moving too fast, and it's heading for New York. I gotta put her in the water."
"Please, don't do this. We have time. We can work it out," she begs.
"Peggy, right now we're in the middle of nowhere. If we wait any longer, a lot of people are gonna die. Peggy, this is our choice," you say as Steve begins the decent into the waters below.
"Peggy?"
"I'm here."
"I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance."
"Alright. A week, next Saturday, at the Stork Club," she says. Even though you can't see her, you know she's crying. "Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?"
"You know, I still don't know how to dance," he chuckles nervously.
"I'll show you how. Just be there."
"We'll have the band play something slow. I'd hate to step on your—" 
The plane crashes into the ice below, cutting off all contact between you two and Peggy.The plane was too fast to hit the water so it hit the ice instead. Both you and Steve are thrown from your places at the front to somewhere else. The back of the plane is ripped off on impact, and you're ejected from the wreckage.
You hit the icy cold waters with a gasp while Steve sinks into the ice below. Everything is so peaceful below the surface of the water. You could be here forever just to escape your life. No one would ever know where you are.
No, you can't do that to Steve.
You gasp awake and allow your air powers to create a pocket around your head so you can breathe underwater. You breach the surface in the middle of the wreckage with no sign of Steve anywhere.
"Steve!" you yell and haul yourself out of the water.
Your pyrokinesis allows you to stay warm so you don't get hypothermia--not that you could if you tried.
"Steve!" you yell again.
Steve is either in pieces, dead, or just missing. He could have sunk deep into the water which would take weeks or months to try and find him. He could have gotten stuck in the ice, but if you were to melt all the ice, then you'd create tsunamis across the world from the rising sea levels.
First Bucky and now Steve. When is this heartbreak going to end? No one is around to hear you scream, but you let out the most heartbreaking wail for your best friend and the love of your life. Earth was supposed to be a new start for you, and for the first nine hundred years, it was.
Now, it's a painful reminder of what you've lost.
Peggy, the rest of your team, Colonel Phillips, Howard Stark, and everyone else thinks you and Steve are dead. You can leave Earth without worrying them because they don't know to go look for you. Searchers will make their way eventually, but who knows in what year they'll find this wreckage.
You need to leave Earth now. It's taken so much from you, and it's time to find a new planet to call home.

STARTING TO SHOW
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Buckingsim Palace, Buckingsimshire 10:18 AM WST]
Queen Katherine: Hi!
Princess Lara: Hi, yourself! You're never home!
Queen Katherine: (sarcastic) Someone has to take on the engagements you fail to fulfill.
Princess Lara: Very funny!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: How are you feeling, darling?
Princess Lara: Fairly well. If constant nausea is considered well!
Both: (laughing)
Queen Katherine: My first trimester was horrible with Phillip but great with Grace and the twins!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Well, come sit. We have much to catch up on.
Princess Lara: How are the twins? I can't believe they're seven months already!
Queen Katherine: Right? They're good! You'll have to pop up and see them before you leave. Grace is around somewhere also!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Did you see mom on the cover of Windenburg Enquirer last week? Who comes up with these lies?
Princess Lara: That's partly why I'm here. Anthony and I'd like to announce the pregnancy. Second trimester is approaching and we'd like to get ahead of any speculations before the coronation.
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: Don't want to steal your thunder and all.
Queen Katherine: Oh! I can assure you, you'd never steal my thunder, little sister.
Princess Lara: (scoffs)
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: So I have your blessing to make the announcement and start making plans?
Queen Katherine: (hesitant) There is a tiresome protocol issue.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Until the sovereign’s child is born, no other family announcements can be made. The same goes for any other major royal event, such as the sovereign's coronation. Although I wouldn't object, parliament will.
Princess Lara: This puts Anthony and I in a tough position, Kate. We can't wait two more weeks! The paparazzi is bound to find out. I'm starting to show!
Queen Katherine: We can control the media! If the palace hears the press will leak a story, we can pressure them to hold off!
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: Are you going to tell me why you went to Mayfield Castle?
Queen Katherine: What? Mayfield Castle? Who told you that?
Princess Lara: (angry) Don't lie to me! You've always been a horrible liar, with the worst poker face. Granny said something happened.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: (sighs) Let's go to the room we used to hide in as kids.
Princess Lara: The old portrait studio?
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: Yes. It's still the most private room in the palace!
Tumblr media
- - - - - LATER - - - - -
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: I haven't been up here in years!
Queen Katherine: Rainier has been using it recently for his new passion in music. He's quite loud, from what the palace staff says.
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: ...but I have no idea how to work any of this new technology!
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: So, why did you make me walk all the way up here? These boots are cute but not made for walking!
Queen Katherine: You know how much the palace staff spies. I'm convinced there are holes in the wall!
Tumblr media
Queen Katherine: This room was used for royal portrait sittings in the 1910s. So many royal memories were captured in this room.
Princess Lara: Kate? What happened at Mayfield? What aren't you telling me?
Tumblr media
(Manipulation Orb forms)
Queen Katherine: It's easier to show you.
Princess Lara: (gasps)
Tumblr media
Princess Lara: How? I don't understand. What happened in Franklen?
Queen Katherine: "The ritual went wrong or right. I don't know."
Princess Lara: What does this mean, Kate? Spellcasting isn't necessarily accepted in Windenburg, and you're about to be crowned Queen in two weeks!
