Helloo i just wanna confess that im so in love with your frans dynamic 😭😭💙💙💙💙💙 their interaction, their platonic relationship.. aahh somehow whenever i see them i can feel their vibes as a someone who loves platonic partner so bad, the calm vibes and their own shenaningans- which i couldnt stop laughing
Like, romance but most dominated with platonic?? Homies but at the same time love each other but still friend agdhd like that idk how to describe their relation but damn i just love them
How you draw sans and frisk are my most favorite especially your frans dynamic, hope you have a nice day and keep making what you love about them!! 💙
AAAA THANK YOUUU 😭 I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW 🥺💙
I've been reading what you wrote over and over and I'm just so glad to hear these from you! Indeed, those are the vibes I'm aiming for these two. Like other people around them, they couldn't really make out of what their relationship status is based on the binary "platonic" and "romantic" relationship. But you just know that they love and appreciate each other and always stick together and that's for sure 😌
I say they're "queerplatonic" because that's the most accurate "label" we can match to their relationship but if you actually asked them what they are, hehe you know what they'll say XD (omg I just love things that exist outside of the established standards made by Society TM)
I should tell y'all the story of how I slowly developed these two's relationship cuz it is also something that's connected to me personally haha ;D
Tumblr media
EEEE again, I'm so so happy that you like my interpretation of Frisk and Sans!^^ What being obsessed with these characters for years does to a mf:
Tumblr media
Please I'm more than happy to share my own take on these two as an individual and how they got to the being the people I've been drawing now as you can tell that these versions of Frisk and Sans are canon compliant and takes place years after the events of the game úဗù my ask box is always open 👀
Thank you so so much! Your words made my day and night and I'll still come to re-read this again and again! Please accept these humble lil doodles and I also wish you a wonderful day/night 💙💙

You're making me fall back in love with Franmaya again, I don't know how else to say this other than, thank you, truly!! What are some of your favorite FRMY fic recs? :D
everything by my girlfriend. top of the list. there is all ages stuff as well as e rated stuff so be mindful, but please for the love of god read bailey's fic.
turnabout substitution not only made me read case fic (i do not like casefic) but i got so insane about it that i now own a physical copy of this in real life that is signed by the author.
non-bailey fics:
See if It Changes the Scene by ChickenMcNothing - this one has fran whump so i am biased
Robert Fuckin' Liston Is Standing In My Kitchen by chantolove - adorable fluffy franmaya & fran character introspection by my beloved caro
Sammy by poodlepunk - a classic for good reason. i cant read this one too much or i start crying tho
returned twofold by jupiupy - i'm due for a re-read on this one but i remember crying a lot the first time i read it
the way we starve to start again by fictitiousregrets - the fake divorce fic. one of the all time greatest. this author has written other franmaya that i've yet to read but i'm sure it's fucking phenomenal. i think about this fic... daily.
The von Karma Guide to Whipping Your Brother Into Shape by mundanecactus - might be my fave non-girlfriend ace attorney fic of all time. masquerades as a wrightworth but is actually a franmaya. informed countless headcanons of mine and accidentally awakened kin memories i did not know i had. there is a scene while miles and franziska go grocery shopping and act so annoyingly siblings the whole time i had to start biting my pillow. please read this
[not SFW reccs will be in the reblogs, standby]

I think one of my favourite moments in the series is the end of the storm battle. for one i am a die hard gokudera fan and in my opinion only the gamma fight surpasses it. And on the other-
The fact tsuna who is usually so reserved and just lets dera do his thing despite telling him quietly "you really don't have to"
Gets SO pissed at Gokudera for DARING to put his life on the line for this. A piece of jewelery and an empty title..
He calls it all meaningless if that means they cant just hang out together anymore.
Dera who links his own worth as a human being to his usefulness and position as a mafiosi is told "I just want you alive and by my side" in i think one of the most direct "this is the core of the whole series" moments we get.
When yamamoto faces ken he still holds back bc he doesnt want to get injured but as soon as TSUNA is in danger he says "fuck it" and gets serious.
In the shimon arc hibari picks up on tsunas depressive state and it annoys him so he changes that in his own way.
Its how mukuro in the rainbow trials cares for a tired fran.
Its how during the ring battles the girls and mama Sawada CONSTANTLY visit Lambo to make sure he is okay.
Its also how tsuna saves him in the first place. Fuck the rings, fuck the position, fuck this whole stupid arangement of fights- he has to save his family.
These people often get violent with each other and agressive, they bicker and they fight, but when the chips are down, all they care about is each other.
Most shounen protags have some kind of dream or goal, Tsuna just really really wants a quiet life and to spend that with his friends and family. The whole mafia buisness is just what he needs to do to keep that family he gained safe. Nothing tsuna EVER does is motivated by some ulterior motive for fame or riches. Its either him being FORCED into action bc he was literally kicked into it by reborn, or its because he has to resolve the situation to keep his friends and family safe.
The Caallone has a FUCKTON of members and so does the vongola and Tsuna really really really really REALLY doesnt care for any of that because in the end his own world is very small compared to the mafia.
I have to think of that one quote "why do you want to save this planet?" -"Because I live here!" for tsuna it would be "because my family lives here."
I mean be Tsuna isn't "heroic". Yeah he cares about other people and strangers, he helps old ladies, but when something is going on his go to isn't "I have to do something!" it's uauslly "man I hope SOMEONE does something. Not gonna be me tho!"
Sorry for the long ask i just wanted to rephrase what you said basically and send it back to you
HELLO AGAIN, thank you for the ask. Don't apologize at all for length, I'm absolutely foaming reading this.
I'm so glad you get what I was going for in the post. Those moments drive me insane. "They bicker and they fight but when the chips are down, all they care about is each other" and "Because my family lives here" I FEEL ABSOLUTELY INSANE ABOUT THESE LINES. You're so so right!!! The Vongola kids bully and tease and are nasty to each other, until it comes down to it and they fight tooth and nail for each other. Exactly what I was going for. The series doesn't need those scenes where Tsuna tells Gokudera he cares about him and they're warm and cuddly towards each other, bc it comes through in his words when meek and reserved Tsuna yells at him and tells him to stop trying to die for him or for some stupid ring. And I think that's so fun!! All the other stuff you listed also drives me so insane. For yamamoto, him letting himself get injured for Tsuna's sake was so good and Tsuna's love for Yamamoto shone through there too because Tsuna saw the injury and felt such immense guilt only apologizing for ruining everything for Yamamoto. Only for Yamamoto to go "No, I'm fine. As long as YOU'RE safe" like that's so good???
The Hibari thing?? How he sees Tsuna's depressed state over it all and all he says to comfort him is "Watch me." because that's all he could understand about the situation. That if he wins his fight, somehow Tsuna will cheer up. and its just so???? GOD ITS JUST SO FULL OF LOVE. Every character in this series shows love in their own ways and it drives me maddd
Mukuro taking care of a tired child too doesn't surprise me with his backstory. He's so gentle with people that are in "his care" even if he won't actively admit it.
The girls as well I'm so glad you pointed them out!! We so like to ignore them in this fandom and thats so sad bc the series makes it really clear that they are part of this equation too. That without their support, the fighters would not have made it. Tsuna could relax knowing Mama Sawada and the girls were watching Lambo and focus on his fight. And during future, he could focus on his training. Not to mention, they're just so supportive especially after they find out what's going on. The boycott episode and its resolution are some of my favorite scenes in Future, it makes me insane that the show gave the girls a Moment to remind us that they too are both deeply loved and ALSO love the boys just the same.
You're so right about Tsuna not being heroic, hell even in Shimon arc Enma is being bullied right infront of him and its Reborn that has to be like "STOP OR SAWADA TSUNAYOSHI WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!" He's kindhearted and he's got a good moral compass.. It's hard to explain, but you basically have to be IN Tsuna's circle for you to get that sort of "I will die for you" behavior kksjng otherwise he sorta reverts back to his "who me? im just a 14 yr old boy im nobody"
Thank you for sharing Lou (Or eternitas, whatever you'd prefer!) Spreading my own brain rot back at me very nice :^)

Oh Colin is gonna go absolutely feral once his queen comes back 8 months pregnant waddling around the palace like a penguin like he's one snap of a hairthread away from bubble wrapping Penelope and locking her away in a tower. Francesca had to give him a potion to calm his ass down because he quadruple checked every crook and cranny of the palace in the last hour making sure its baby proof. This himbo king is gonna fistfight the wind if it made Pen shiver and eradicate every dust particle in the underworld if Pen sneezed ONCE. Like please give me my himbo king who's stupidly in love and goes batshit insane at anything that even mildly inconveniences his queen i love him 😂
Anonymous asked: Please, please tell us more about pregnant Penelope’s return to the underworld. I’m just picturing the scene in my head, and it’s either cute or hilarious.
I'm dying. I made Lord Featherington a wind god in this. So now I'm imagining Colin fistfighting him because HOW DARE HE MAKE COLIN'S WIFE AND THE QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD SHIVER! It can be a bonding experience for Colin and Portia.
Here's something on Penelope's return.
"Thank you Phillip," Penelope said as they were finishing their trek into the Underworld. "I know it hasn't been easy with me and Eloise being pregnant at the same time."
Phillip shook his head. "She is my wife and you are my friend Penelope. Plus it is quite literally my job to guide souls down to the Underworld, the queen being no exception."
Penelope giggled as she opened the door to Bloomsbury Palace, and then she blinked. She looked again and yup someone completely redecorated the inside. It looked like someone remade the inside of the palace into a pillow fort. Wall the walls and floors were made out of the squish material. Every piece of furniture looked like it had it's corners rounded off, while the vases that held Penelope's plants were now fastened to shelves on the walls. Actually Penelope didn't mind the shelf design, maybe she get some for her office.
"Penelope," Phillip whispered, his eyes taking in the scene around him. "Do you want me to stay a little longer?"
"No, no," Penelope said. "Eloise is waiting for you. I'll find the others soon enough."
"Are you sure?" Phillip asked.
"Yes. Now go before Eloise decides to another fish in the twins' beds," Penelope said.
Phillip shuddered. It took forever to get the fish smell out of Amanda's bed the last time Eloise did that. Phillip hates fish too so that had not been fun.
Penelope waved her friend and right hand goodbye before turning back to what used to be her home.
"I'll guess I'll look in the throne room first," Penelope muttered to herself.
Penelope began her waddled and immediately began cursing whoever authorized this change. This was not easy for her to walk on, and her balance was already not that great with the baby kicking all over Penelope's stomach. About ten steps in Penelope gave up and used her powers to float around the palace.
The throne room wasn't any better as it was covered it the same pillow material as the rest of the palace. Hell her throne looked to be made out of this material too! What the hell was going on?
"Oh thank Chaos you're home!"
Penelope looked up to see Francesca running forward as fast as she could on the pillow floor. It wasn't that fast to be hones.
"Fran what is going on?" Penelope asked.
"Your husband has lost his damn mind!" Francesca exclaimed. "Colin has turned the entire palace into this! Everything and anything has been baby proofed. The guards don't even wear their normal armor instead he's given them this stuffed padding. I thought Felicity was fistfight him when he suggested damming the rivers near the palace because 'what if the baby fell in?'"
"Why would the baby be even near the rivers?" Penelope asked.
Francesca threw her hands up. "That's what we said!"
Penelope's hand covered her mouth as she looked around once more. Oh shit this was all her husband's doing. "Let me talk to him. Where is he?"
"In your room," Francesca answered. "Michael dumped him there after I gave him a potion to knock him out for a few minutes of peace. It should be wearing off soon if it hasn't already."
Penelope nodded and teleported to the room she shared with her husband. Colin was indeed awake and . . . Penelope wasn't quite sure what he was doing.
"Husband," Penelope called out.
Colin looked up and his face brightened. "Pen!" Teleporting to her said Colin pulled Penelope in for a kiss. "My beautiful wife, how are you?"
"Very confused," Penelope said. "Colin what is going on? Why does our home look like the inside of a pillow fort?"
"I'm helping you!" Colin answered with a grin. "I baby proofed the palace."
Penelope did not return her husband's smile. This in turn caused Colin's to fall. "What's wrong Pen?"
"Colin this is more of a hinderance than anything. I can't even walk properly," Penelope answered truthfully.
Colin's face fell further. "Oh."
An idea came to Penelope's mind, something she's been excited to try for when she finally came home. She had seen Phillip and Eloise do it. Penelope had been jealous of the bliss that had been on Eloise's face. "I do have a way you can help me though if you turn everything back to the way it was before."
Colin looked up "Oh?" He snapped his fingers and the marble walls and flooring came back.
Penelope turned around and pulled her husband to her back. Placing his hands underneath her stomach. "Gently lift and hold it," Penelope instructed.
Colin did just that and Penelope could have sworn she could have moaned at that moment. She would swear the feeling was better than what they did to put the baby in there. The pain in her back had elevated and her head fell back against her husband.
At that exact moment baby decided it didn't like being ignored and kicked where daddy's hand was.
Colin looked down at Penelope. "Was that?"
Penelope nodded. "Yeah, that's baby."
Pure and utter adoration covered her husband's face. Kissing the side of her head as his thumbs massage against her stomach.
Penelope felt at bliss. Though this did prove to her that for all future kids she has to plan them so she gives birth in the Underworld. If Colin was like this the she was gone for most of her pregnancy Chaos only knows what he would do should she give birth up on the surface.

20 Questions for Writers
Thank you for the tag, @thecharmedburrowspn-files - your timing is insane. I just started writing again after months of inactivity. (Only 500 words, but shhhh. Progress 😅) We'll see how long the motivation train lasts, but fingers crossed I can ride it for a while.
Tumblr media
How many works do you have on AO3?
Only 4 and one is tiny. Nothing to brag about here. Only started posting on AO3 in '21.
What is your total AO3 word count?
292,884
What fandoms do you write for?
It's really only The Stand. I have 517 words in the Stranger Things fandom with 'Even in Death', so it feels kind of cheap to include that. My newest work is original, so no fandoms at all. I have one that is tabled for now that goes into True Blood a bit, but I'm not sure if that's really going anywhere.
What are your top five fics by kudos?
'Something like a Spiral' got a whole whooping 17 kudos. That's my leader. Yup, we're good here.
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Of course! I just wanna talk to people about my favorite blorbos, and if you're commenting, then you probably at least understand vaguely what I'm rambling about. Small fandom is small, and I welcome all interaction.
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I would say the ending of 'Just Keep Diving Down' gets this, although I would call it more bittersweet. It's not the happy ending the characters would have wanted, but it's far from the worst. There is some massive angst (MCD) towards the end, so fair warning there, but death isn't necessarily the end.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
'Something Like a Spiral', I suppose. Can you really have a completely happy ending with this setting? But, I'd say it's the happiest of the options. It's hard for me to say 'Supply Run' because they're all one shots, and I really don't feel like there is an 'end' per se. It's more like outtakes in my mind. But some of them end on a good note.
Do you get hate on your fic?
Thankfully, people have kept all negative comments to themselves. Hopefully, there's not many out there.
Do you write smut?
Eh, if you can call it that. I'm not overly explicit, but there is sex. Enough that I feel the need to put '***' lemon warnings before and after like the fanfiction of old.
Do you write crossovers?
The 'True Blood' story I mentioned before is a cross with 'the Stand' and the world I created for 'Diving'. I just wanted Eric to have to deal with Flagg and vice versa. Who better to deal with their shit than their own doppelganger. Karma.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of. Hopefully not. I'm in a small fandom though, and the only person writing with a focus on my preferred blorbo. Not sure anybody else would want it.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
Have you ever co-written a fic?
No, and I wouldn't even know where to begin on this. I would be up to try though! I've done short RPs before, I would assume it's somewhat similar?
What's your all-time favorite ship?
I do like the Mulder/Scully ship that was mentioned. I could go for Katniss/Peeta time. Buffy/Spike. There are a few. In Stand world, I'd never be able to split Stu/Fran, and I'll jump on board the Lloyd/Flagg train. (Although, I do love redemption, so I'd rather see a good 'Randall get your shit together' spin to it.)
What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The True Blood crossover. It doesn't make much sense without reading my prior Stand stories, and honestly, I don't know if anybody even made it through the whole thing. Again, small fandom, I'm inserting OCs, only person writing with a focus on Glen. It's a very catered only to me story, and a long one at that. (101k for the first and 186k for the second.) So yeah, tacking on something to the end of that, eh, may just stay in my head as thoughts for funsies.
What are your writing strengths?
I have just about zero self confidence, so I'm not sure? I would really hope it's keeping the tone and voice and motivations of characters consistent. Obviously they'll change throughout the story; everybody is affected by what happens to them. Change is inevitable. But are their changes consistent to their character? I hope so. Character development was always my favorite part in building a story.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I have just about zero self confidence? I don't know if I get too convoluted with the story. If I force too much change to what I want to see. Am I clear with what I say? And there's always goddamn typos no matter how many times I proofread...
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Aside from simple phrases, I'll pass. I don't want to butcher somebody's language, and I'm definitely not proficient in any other language. Hell, I can barely get English right. Massive respect to anybody who can do this.
First fandom you wrote for?
I just started here recently, so the Stand is really it for me.
Favorite fic you've ever written?
They all have a soft spot in my heart (which, I mean, you're supposed to write for you, right?) Spiral was my first, and has a lot of scene that I go back to read, so I guess that? But it is very close to canon in a lot of scene and plot, so Diving is more original in the overall story, I suppose. And Supply Run is a short at straight canon compliant scene inserts. So they each have their arguments.

He goes into the back bathroom, throws up, and promptly slams his head on the floor, groaning softly.
It takes Luke Danes a moment pick himself up. He dusts off shirt off and splashes water on his face, before grabbing a paper cup and guzzling down some water.
What was he thinking, turning this old place into a diner? The hardware store didn’t even make a profit at the end, what makes him think this will be any different? Any better? 
Too late now. Kitchen’s built. Counter’s refurbished. Tables are set up, food’s purchased. It’s either this or the military and he’s terrible at taking orders, so...
So he adjusts his baseball cap and heads out with purpose, finding the store - diner - whatever- empty.
Except for one person.
Midge smiles from her seat at the counter and waves at him. 
“Hey,” Luke says, surprised. 
“Hi,” she responds. 
“It’s six in the morning,” he tells her.
“The older I get the earlier I wake up,” Midge shrugs. “I wish I’d been able to get up this early when my kids were little, it would have made life easier.” 
“I bet,” he nods, walking over with a pen and his order pad. “What uh...what can I getcha?” 
“Coffee,” Midge tells him as she glances at his menu. “And eggs and toast.” 
“How do you want your eggs?” Luke asks, scribbling. 
“Scrambled.” 
“Cheese?” 
Midge smiles slowly. “Cheddar. Don’t bring my mother back from the dead, she’ll get judgmental,” she jokes. 
Luke laughs just a little. “Rye toast?” 
“With extra butter,” Midge tells him. 
He nods. “You want bacon?” 
“Oh, if I order bacon, I won’t need you to necromance my mother, she’ll come back on her own,” Midge quips. She looks around and spies the donuts under the glass dish. “Can I get a chocolate sprinkle donut to go, too, for Lenny?” 
“Sure thing,” Luke nods. “I’ll get this going.” 
“Thanks, Sweetie.” 
He nods and pours her some coffee before heading to the back, glancing out the window from the kitchen too keep an eye on things while he cooks. 
“The place is great,” Midge tells him. 
“You haven’t tried to food yet,” Luke reminds her.
“Please,” Midge waves him off as she sips her coffee. 
“What if this doesn’t work?” Luke asks. 
“It will.” 
“But what if it doesn’t?” 
“Then you’ll figure something else out,” Midge tells him. “But it will. Your coffee is better than Fran’s.” 
“Stop.” 
“Not a lie, this stuff is good,” Midge tells him. “Just don’t tell her I said that or she’ll put a hit out on me. I’ll have to take a to-go cup for Lenny, too.” 
Luke laughs at that and shakes his head. He scrambles her eggs with care, adding the cheese, before toasting the rye and scooping some butter into a small dish for her, setting everything out, before using a napkin to grab a donut and carefully placing it in the bag. 
Midge digs in, eating happily. “Mm. Extra butter in the eggs?” 
“A little sour cream,” Luke responds. 
She nods. “the quickest way to an old Jew’s heart to make it stop beating. Can I have some hot sauce please?” 
Luke can’t help a laugh as he grabs her a bottle of tabasco. “Stop that.” 
“You know I can’t resist a good punchline,” Midge reminds him. 
He busies himself as she eats, wiping down the counters for the fiftieth time, making sure the tables are stocked with extra napkins and ketchup bottles. 
When she finishes, he rings her up at the ancient cash register his father bought god-knows-when and she hands him the money.
Along with a fifty dollar tip.
“Midge. No.” 
“It’s a free country,” she tells him, lifting her chin. “If I want to give you an insane tip on your opening day, I will, and you can’t stop me.” 
“Midge-” 
“Coffee for Lenny, please.” 
He deflates and goes to get it. “You’re never paying for coffee here ever again.” 
“We’ll see about that.” 
Midge smiles at him and takes the coffee and the donut bag. “Thanks Luke. Have a great first day.” 
He sighs and shoves his hands into his pockets. “Thanks, Midge.” 
As she heads for the door, Miss Patty wanders in, and she takes her by the arm. 
“Get the eggs. They’re to die for,” she says. 
“Stop that,” Luke scolds. 
Midge grins at him, and steps out into the morning.

Hypermobile Françoise anon once again !
I have come up with another crackship
Australia x N. Italy
It is slowly (that's a lie, rapidly) growing on me. Hhhhh,,,
ALSO
Do you have any polyships?
hello good morning?? or whatever time it is for you. lmao that's a wild ship. so in my experience this country and it's populace are terrifying insane (positive) and i think feli would be so afraid of jack. it'd never work. 10/10 crack <3
on that note i absolutely LOVE polyships i am about to go feral hhhrhraaauughhgh growl growl
obviously, bft (prussia x spain x france) is the polycule of all time. perfect. no notes. chef's kiss.
i love when they're platonic life partners as well. or co-parenting?? like imagine fran gets knocked up by someone else (cough cough arthur) and gil and toni are the dads who step up?? adorable.
bft + romano is a great crack polyship. also bft + england?? except i don't like pruk romantically or sexually. so england x spain and france? pruspa and fruk? however you slice it i guess.
i also love any variation of the FACE characters as a polyship. like i usually see them as a family. al and matt as brothers, and/or their sons but that's not 100% fixed in my perspective and there are infinite possibilities in human AUs.
single parents fruk + amecan stepbros to lovers?
england and america x france. na bros x france. england x na bros. (but not in an incestuous way if they're literally brothers. not my thing)
especially love when the three of them are like. artie's angels. or all of them tripleteaming france.
also i am rabid for scotland and england fighting over and sharing france. but since those two are always biologically (? as much as a nation can be) related to me, its only poly in one direction. there's nothing physical between them but they're fran's brother husbands. communal wife.
geritafra?? gerita and fruk swinging?? not a fan of gereng so not them but like. swapping spouses so it's gerfra and engita together. or arthur or ludwig playing with both fran and feli.
OH AND AND AND. I ALMOST FORGOT.
THE GOURMET TRIO AS A POLYCULE IN A SPECIFIC WAY. AND ENGLAND IS THERE TOO? everyone (turkey + china + england) x france + iggychu. fran and arthur are married. sadik and yao are fucking fran. together or separately. and arthur is fucking yao. does that make sense? i love turkfra so much. criminally underrated.
in an au where they're not related, SCOTCANFRA
also these aren't characters i'm super invested in but frying pangle (pruaushun) is a classic polyship and basically canon.
as always thanks for the ask <3 sorry for the formatting i wrote this on mobile

hey girl, can you do some jealous enzo please?
˗ˏˋ🥂 𝐉𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐎𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 | ENZO VOGRINCIC
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𖥔 ࣪˖ pairing: jealous!enzo x reader
𖥔 ࣪˖ summary: enzo and you are secretly in a relationship. the two of you are at a celebration dinner, with the cast when a guy comes up to you trying to make conversation and enzo sees from afar. the poor man gets jealous.
𖥔 ࣪˖ warnings: jealousy. a few cuss words.
𖥔 ࣪˖ note: omg yesss. thank you for the request<33
Tumblr media
“Ey, ¿pero quien es ese man que está con la nena?” Fran’s voice gets Enzo’s attention.
You were peeking around the table full of small appetizers, when a guy, whom you had no idea of, moved close to you and began to exchange a few words with you. Of course, you didn’t want to be rude but you didn’t know how to tell him that, you were not interested in having a conversation.
Of course, when Enzo noticed, he felt the smile on his face vanish when he caught a glimpse of the guy smiling, all over you. Enzo was fast to speak his thoughts—
“Pero quien es este tipo.” He immediately points with his hand at the guy who clearly was trying to get something out of you before he looks at Fran.
Fran was the only one out of everyone in the cast that knew about you and Enzo being together. He was your closest friend and you trusted him, so telling him about your decision to keep things private with Enzo was a must-tell.
Enzo could feel the heat of jealousy rise inside of him. His eyes were set on you and the guy who was just trying to touch you in any way, but of course, you would pull away. Fran didn’t miss the part where Enzo gripped the fragile glass of champagne he held when he said—
“Bueno primero calmémonos, y solta la copa.” He removes the glass off of Enzo’s grip making him glance at him but he quickly shifts his eyes back on you.
“Como me pides que me calme Fran. Si este imbécil está hablando con mi novia.” His voice whispered off the last two syllables as they were followed by a small thud of his hand on his chest by his pint finger.
“Hay pero si yo no fui el que decidió andar a escondidas y jugando de amiguitos también.” Fran widened his eyes while he stared at Enzo, whose breathing was becoming more heavy.
“Sabes que, voy a salir a tomar aire que esto me está asfixiando.” He reaches for the bow on the collar of his dressing shirt loosing it up, removing it. Not before he downed the rest of his champagne and walked into the garden’s gazebo.
He waisted no time in taking a deep breath and inhaling the cold air of the outside. Enzo wasn’t sure if he’d be able to keep your relationship private. The fact that he couldn’t show you affection in public, only in private said a lot and it was driving him insane. Though it was his idea, but he also wanted to have at least a few sacred moments with you. With no fans breathing down your neck, or the press.
But honestly, that would be either way, or the day you guys decide to finally tell the people.
“Ey franette, ¿donde está Enzo?” You sighed as the wave of relive of finally taking off the guy off of you.
“Primero, wow. Segundo está afuera. Te vio con aquel pibe y no le gustó.” Fran sets his arm on your shoulder making you frown confused before he spoke again. “Controla a tu hombre.”
You walked over towards the entrance that led you towards the garden. A small smile spread across your tinted lips as you reached Enzo, who didn’t see you coming due to his back facing you.
“¿Por qué tan solito acá?” You slid your hand up and down on his back as you rested your cheek on his shoulder. Confused that he didn’t answer you asked. “¿Estás bien?”
“Sí.” He coldly responded.
“Enzo. Te conozco.” You grabbed his hand turning him to face you, but the man kept his eyes somewhere around the gazebo.
Enzo didn’t know whether to tell you what he saw or to keep it to himself. But he knew that if he didn’t, it’ll ruin the night for the both of you and with it, his thoughts.
“Te vi con ese cara de pija.” Your eyes stayed on him as he gave you a glare, but turned to look back behind you. You smirked.
“¿Estás celoso?” You knew he was. You just wanted to hear it from him.
“Para nada.” Oh so he wanted to play the game. You raised your brow and he turned to look at you and sighed. “Bueno sí. Sí estoy celoso. Viendo como otro hombre se le acerca a mi novia y yo sin poder hacer nada. Tocándote. ¿Quien se cree? solo yo te puedo tocar.”
His words came out fast and he seemed agitated again. Enzo passed his hand through his hair messing it up a little before you came closer and tried to straighten his collar.
“No tienes por qué estar celoso. Sabes que soy tuya.” You whispered between the two of you and you could see his eyes darken. The shade of brown of his eyes being covered.
“¿Ah sí?” His words followed a tilt of his head watching you as you nodded slowly. “Pues qué harías si te dijera que en este momento está parado en la entrada viéndonos.” He rasps even more. His tone was challenging.
You glanced between his lips and his eyes and didn’t hesitate to kiss him. His hand immediately went to rest on your waist while his other was on the back of your neck pulling you closer. His tongue went inside your mouth not even warning you, and you felt how he bit your bottom lip as he pulled back.
“Dale.” He smiled calmly. His breathing was at a regular pace while yours had increased. He stared for a few seconds before he spoke again, this time with a more softer tone. “Le quiero decir a todos.”
You blinked twice at the sound of his words. “¿Estás seguro?” You didn’t want Enzo to feel like he needed to tell everyone about the two of you.
“Sí. Le quiero mostrar a todos que eres mía. Ya no me quiero esconder-” he caressed the structure of your cheek with his thumb, making you smile. “Te quiero besar, abrazar, poder estar contigo en público.”
You beamed at the thought of finally being able to show affection in public with Enzo. You yourself were also tired of hiding.
“Hagámoslo entonces.”
The both of you smiled and kissed each other a few more times before going back inside. This time together.

Summary: Even creatures such as they are not immune to mortal time. It is not something Spain likes to think about.
Word Count: 2k
Characters: Prussia, France, Spain
---------------
‘I don’t think this is a good idea.’
‘I think it’s a bit late for that.’
France was angry, shoulders rigid and face set and Spain made a noncommittal noise to appease him without further adding to the insanity.
Prussia was currently half leant over the edge of a bridge, one foot hooked around a signpost pole warning of construction work in an attempt to retrieve France’s jacket, which he’d flung over the side. It had, luckily for both France and Prussia, caught on some iron castings around one of the bridge’s support arches as it had fallen and was now happily serving as a rather gaudy flag.
‘You’ve gotta admit it was funny,’ Prussia came back up over the side and repositioned his foot to give him more length before going over again, ‘Francis, you looked like you were going to kil-‘
‘I don’t think you can reach it,’ Spain cut in quickly, ‘It’s too far down. You can always get another jacket, Francis.’
France turned to him. He didn’t speak for a moment and Spain increasingly felt that maybe France would throw him over as well, ‘Why should I?’ he said eventually, mouth tight, ‘Why should I have to get another jacket or spend the rest of the night cold because Gilbert decided it would be funny to “see how I would react” if my brand new, couture jacket went into a dirty underpass.’
‘You can wear mine?’
‘That’s not the point, Toni.’ France angrily waved a hand at Prussia’s back, ‘He never thinks.’
‘I did think,’ Prussia’s voice was slightly muffled, ‘I thought it’d be funny.’
France clenched his jaw tighter.
If he were honest, Spain didn’t think that Prussia meant to do it at all. What Spain thought had happened was that Prussia had tried to get a reaction from France and make him look silly for panicking but had accidentally let go of the jacket. That, or he’d thrown it further than he’d meant to. Whatever the truth was, Spain was unlikely to find it out.
‘You have no idea how expensive that was,’ France continued, rubbing at his arms to warm himself in the cool autumn breeze, ‘And it is only 12am; this is pathetic, even for you, Gilbert.’
‘I can reach it,’ Prussia shifted his hips further over the wall, his shirt riding up against the concrete wall to reveal the small of his back and the top of his boxer shorts. Spain tugged the shirt back in place and almost received a kick to the face for his troubles, ‘Jesus fucking Christ, it’s not a problem.’
‘It is a problem,’ Spain said, ‘Don’t they have CCTV here? This is Vienna after all.’
‘What’s that got to do with anything?’ Prussia came back over the side properly, cheeks visibly red even in the yellow streetlight from being upside-down for so long. There was dirt on his hands, or perhaps old oil from the metal and when he rubbed at his nose it streaked there, ‘Do you not think I can do it either?’
‘No,’ Spain quickly corrected himself, ‘Yes, I just think that you falling over the side onto that little island down there and cracking yourself open won’t be the best news.’
‘And where have I got to be tomorrow, huh?’ Prussia scowled and came forwards to jab a finger in Spain’s chest, ‘You and Fran are part of the NATO talks. Not me.’
‘No, but Germany is.’
‘So? I ain’t Germany, am I?’ Prussia huffed and hefted himself onto the wall again, hooking his foot back in place, ‘No one’s gonna notice if I’m dead.’
Spain and France shared a quick, loaded look as Prussia manoeuvred his top half once again over the edge. A group of civilians approached along their stretch of pavement, laughing easily in colourful night outfits until they saw what was going on.
One of them, a young man in his twenties, checked the lady next to him was watching and opened his mouth, ‘Er, excuse me-‘
‘It’s fine,’ France acknowledged with a wide smile, his French accent thick under the German. The man sounded nosey more than anything else but the rest of the group looked concerned. France gave them all a wink, ‘We’re having a dare contest.’
The young man’s eyes darted from him to Prussia. The young woman next to him hooked her arm through his and narrowed her eyes, ‘And what kind of dare?’
‘A dare to see how far I can bounce before I die,’ Prussia moved himself still further over, voice straining.
‘He’s joking,’ Spain added, grabbing hold of Prussia’s legs when the group of what now he assumed were students continued to grow even more worried, ‘We’ve got him.’
‘No, he hasn’t!’ Prussia sounded terrified, ‘Help! He’s trying to throw me over! Oh God, I’m too young!’
Spain looked over the edge at him in horror as France quickly stepped forward to speak over Prussia’s howling, ‘I’m sorry, he’s a bit drunk-‘
‘You’re letting a drunk person dangle over the edge?!’
France gave a tinkling laugh that sounded far too nervous to be natural, ‘No, no…’
‘If only I were allowed to live!’
‘Shhh!’ Spain shook Prussia’s leg carefully, ‘You’re panicking them.’
‘Did you hear that? He’s blaming me for not being murdered quietly!’ Prussia gave a loud, very exaggerated sob and slapped the nearest brick, ‘The best one always dies first. I knew it, I’m too awesome to stick around any longer.’
‘Gilbert-‘
‘I’m showing you up too much, that’s what it is,’ Prussia wiped away a fake tear, ‘You’re jealous that even as an ex-nation I’m still better than you.’
‘A what?’ the young lady asked, peering around France who quickly sidestepped her.
‘He dropped his phone down over the ledge.’ France turned around and jerked his head for Spain to pull Prussia back over, ‘And he’s being a bit dramatic to scare you; he’s terrible.’
With a heave, Spain pulled Prussia, who made absolutely no attempt to help him, back over the wall and onto the pavement. Prussia shook his head to clear it and then gave a low, sloppy bow, ‘I hope you enjoyed the night’s performance!’ he said as he straightened with a flourish, ‘But nah, it’s honestly okay. My phone did go over and it’s caught just over the side. It was the new iPhone.’
A collective ‘oh’ and sympathetic nods. ‘Good luck,’ the man called to Prussia as they left.
Prussia immediately went back over the side with a huff, ‘Nosey Austrians.’
‘Don’t make them come back,’ Spain waved them away until they were out of earshot and then grabbed on tightly to Prussia’s legs until he bucked his hips.
‘Get off me, you’re holding me back,’ Prussia gave a chuckle, ‘Loser. You gotta let me fly high and fulfil my dreams.’
‘Or fly down,’ France came to take hold of Prussia’s other leg, ‘And what sort of dreams do you have, anyway?’
‘World domination?’ Prussia pushed himself away from the brickwork to gaze up at them in contemplation, ‘No… tried that. Besting you both at literally everything? Already achieved that… damn.’
‘Hurry up,’ France pinched him, ‘Can you reach the jacket or not. You’re making me nervous.’
‘What for? If worst comes to worst it ain’t gonna be permanent.’
A pregnant silence fell.
‘Oh, come on,’ Prussia sounded angry, ‘Don’t fucking do that.’
‘Do what?’ France sounded honestly unsure, voice light, but his face was sad and he refused to meet Spain’s eye again.
‘You know full well what.’ Prussia bucked again, kicking out at them both, ‘Lemme go. If I fall then I fucking fall.’
‘Gil-‘
‘What?’ Prussia twisted around, hands holding him up on the iron edge of the support, ‘What, I might really die? I might not come back?’
Spain didn’t respond.
‘Fuck you,’ Prussia kicked out again, ‘Fuck both of you. I’ll come back. I’ll throw myself off this fucking bridge just to prove it.’
He didn’t. Prussia carefully stretched out one arm for the jacket, a few inches below his fingertips, but maintained a strong grip on the metal rail with the other, knuckles white and arm shaking with the effort.
Spain wrapped his arm tighter around Prussia’s leg, all too aware suddenly of the warmth of his leg, the solid alive feeling of it. He grinned at France, swallowing back a truth and a future he didn’t want to consider just yet, ‘We could lower him down?’
France frowned and craned his neck to peer over the side without disturbing Prussia’s weight.
‘Drop me!’ Prussia called up at them, ‘I’ll grab it on the way.’
France looked pained, Prussia’s throw-away comment barbed and goading, but when he spoke after a tut, he sounded only coolly irritated, ‘No, your blood will stain the fabric.’
‘Baby.’
‘Says you,’ Spain repositioned himself, feet braced better against the ground, ‘Come on, Fran, let’s use him as a crane.’
‘That’s it, that’s my true calling in life.’
‘You cannot be trusted with anything nice.’ France copied Spain’s stance and they slowly eased Prussia further over the wall, ‘It is my fault, really. I should have known your brutish nature would reject the sight of anything delicate and expensive.’
‘Do you want me to flick it off this thing? Cos, I fucking will.’ A few grunting noises, Spain not looking for fear of upsetting the balance, and then Prussia gave a whoop of triumph, ‘Got it! Pull me up.’
Back on his own feet, Prussia swept the hair away from his head and flapped the jacket at France, who snatched it and hurriedly put it on.
‘What, no thank you?’
‘Why should I thank you? What was entirely your fault.’
‘I almost died for you.’
France huffed and turned away, flicking his hair out of his collar and hiding his face, ‘A stupid consequence for a foolish action.’
Prussia’s expression twisted, something raw and broken that was quickly hidden under a practiced unbothered expression. There were fine lines at the corner of his eyes and across his forehead, marks of mortal time that stayed even when his expression softened into apathy.
Were they new?
Spain ran his tongue over his teeth, feeling out the new need for cautiousness in his chest. It didn’t belong there, for creatures like them. ‘Come on,’ he said, patting Prussia’s shoulder and pulling his shirt straight again at the bottom, ‘Let’s get Francis drunk enough so that he loses that damn jacket.’
Prussia barked a laugh, ‘€50 he gets drunk enough to go looking for Arthur.’
Spain pouted, ‘I’m not going to put money down when you’re obviously going to win.’
France arched his eyebrow, flicking a finger against Prussia’s arm, ‘If we’re betting on obvious wins, then I wish to put €1000 on Ludwig needing to come and take you home.’
‘Or bail us out of jail?’ Spain supplied.
‘Yea yea, “ha ha”,’ Prussia huffed and began walking towards town, ‘Better him than Roderich.’
France shuddered and Spain cheerfully agreed, ‘For you, maybe. But really, both seem bad to me.’
‘For you, we’d call Lovino.’
‘No.’
Prussia cackled and jogged ahead. A taxi was coming towards them, light on for passengers, and he waved his arm at it furiously.
‘He’s skinnier,’ Spain said quietly, feeling France come to stand alongside him to wait and watch, ‘Did you feel it? Less muscle.’
‘Don’t think about it,’ France’s tone left no room for discussion. He took a long breath in through his nose and then out again, things he could not say settling between them both, ‘What good will that do anyone?’
---------------
AN:
Woah nelly, slipped a bit dark there, didn't we anon. I hope you liked it, I wanted to aim for jokey at first but this came out instead. Sometimes, even when you want a conversation to go one way, there is something more serious lurking just underneath.
I'm not sure what to call this one just yet, I'll let it ferment for a while in my heart.

i just wanted to say, im currently re-reading clinic for a third time (twice to myself and the third is out-loud for a friend) and although i noticed this on my first read-through, i can’t get over how much detail you put into every single character for the world building. i can tell you’re someone who doesn’t watch JUST 2-4 streamers, and that you hop around various streams and create a lot of variety for what you watch, even when you have your own personal biases (as everyone does). I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. THANK YOU!!! or maybe i’m just reading too far into things and you somehow gathered a lot of knowledge about the various creators, but either way, it’s seriously appreciated!!!
like, the fic is mostly crimeboys/SBI/benchtrio centric, but i wanted to point out some of the details that a lot of other people who don’t watch a huge variety of streamers wouldn’t catch:
your characterization of foolish. you NAILED the mannerisms of his streamer counterpart and dsmp character PERFECTLY. i can *hear* how chipper and enthusiastic he is, despite the stress of working wayyy too many shifts for the cafe, similarly to how his dsmp character has reacted to the resurgence of the bloodvines. he still keeps a level of positivity in stressful situations, and the way you wrote him is just. so great. one scene in particular that really stands out to me is when tommy notices him injured with eret while in vigilante form. the whole, “to-toooonight? how are you doing tonight, random citizen?”. BRO. BRO I CAN HEAR HIM!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN HEAR IT!!!!!
second, the added detail that phil loves halo and has been playing it for years!!! a lot of typical philza viewers don’t really catch that he used to be a hardcore halo enjoyer, so i LOVE that that little detail was included :) i’m not familiar with the game itself, but the friend who i was reading the fic aloud to recognized the way you wrote how phil + tommy playing and said that he could visualize them playing a specific map and gamemode perfectly.
fran. you included fran. i am shaking your shoulders I LOVE FRAN!!! typically in fics that feature sam as a side character, they don’t really recognize how important fran is to sam. THANK U FOR INCLUDING THE SMP’S MOST BELOVED PUPPY <3 also, the added detail that sam used to be a hero but switched? his run-in and tension with ponk? amazing. perfectly parallel to his dsmp counterpart.
techno’s love for potatoes. him being completely engrossed in a documentary about polar bears and loving one named steve in particular. yes yes yes.
jack wanting to name himself and niki by being inspired by greenland and icelands’ tactics for “confusing the enemy”. niki thinks it’s silly but she goes along with it anyway and she’s still fond of the idea. a wonderfully accurate depiction of their dynamic :’)
clinic!george being apathetic as fuck. yes. exactly like his smp character. a lot of people seem to make george in fics more emotional/apathetic/generally aware of most situations, but this was a refreshing change to see. good shit.
your characterization of clinic!sapnap too!!!! also a mirror image of his SMP character!! the moral dilemma of seeing his friends do fucked up shit takes a toll on him both in clinic and on the SMP, and i love to think that if c!dream didn’t do the insanely fucked up shit to the degree that he took it, c!sapnap probably would’ve done something similar to clinic!sapnap. he would’ve stayed with him, because he’s his family (again, obvi this is if c!dream wasn’t as murderous/abusive/power hungry/generally cray cray as he actually is. a canon alternative).
and. and. and. for this last one i have to physically withhold myself from typing out too much because i KNOW i’m gonna gush a lot, but. THE ENTIRETY OF HOW YOU WROTE QUACKITY!!!! ALL OF HIM!!!! I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS I AM SANE!!!!!!!
basically. basically. you have the most incredibly spot on interpretation of what kind of person AND villain quackity would be. you don’t understand. he’s my favorite villain of yours by far. the way that jester operates in being “a close business associate” with the syndicate and keeps his membership in this organization out of the public eye? oh my god. HE IS SO SLEEZY. HE OPERATES EXACTLY HOW C!QUACKITY WOULD. you have the best mixture of him being this funny, goofy dude that loves pulling jokes and being the comedy man, while also being an incredibly intelligent, resourceful, full of wits villain. he loved the chaos of things and fucking around, but knows how to get shit done. amazing. incredible. unbelievable. unstoppable. i want to take clinic!quackity/jester and put him in an oven /pos
AND. i must ask. is jester’s superpowers inspired by the fact that one of quackity’s go-to bits on stream + in mod videos is the fact that he changes his skin a shit ton? like he’ll hop from various bits and put on a different act/voice depending on the skin. ofc it’s not really the same, but was the shapeshifting inspired by that idea? idk if i’m reading too much into this, but major props even if you did that accidentally
ANYWAY!!!! i’m so sorry this is so long, this has been on my mind for a long time, and i just now got the energy to dump all of my passionate rambling on you. you are an incredibly talented author and i really really appreciate the details that you add for each and every character, it doesn’t go unnoticed and i appreciate it so much <3 i’m someone who watches a massive variety of streamers and it was so fun to catch all of these moments in the fic.
oh my god this just made me smile so so hard holy shit. first off, thank you for sending this giant essay to my inbox /gen i literally LOVE hearing stuff like this, especially when people notice smaller details like you pointed out! yes, I do in fact try to watch a lot of streamers! obviously I don't watch every single dsmp members lore streams bc i wouldn't have a life, but I try to watch at least several major lore streams for each person because I'm just genuinely interested in everyone's stuff going on on the smp?? and also I wanna be able to characterize them as best I can and I'm so glad that came through!
gonna talk about each of the things you pointed out but it'll be long so i'm putting it under a keep reading :)
i love c!foolish so much. i'm so happy you could hear his lines in his voice because he's such a chipper guy even when he's in a bad situation! he tries to make light of things even when he's panicking or super stressed!
and god yeah I didn't wanna make phil play minecraft in that scene because it felt just too... on the nose I guess? so since I knew that cc!phil has talked about his love of halo before i thought it would be a lot of fun to include! also, i'm very glad your friend recognized what I was referencing. I was never a super intense halo player, but I have fond memories of my dad and I playing a few maps on multi player together, and my go to thing was always to drive the 'ghost' vehicle I described. I loved flying as high as I could in it so I wanted to include that bit when tommy was playing it lol
also people who don't mention fran when writing sam have definitely never seen sam during the egg arc (which is a huge disservice because his egg lore was so good). mans had a whole manic episode destroying the vines and locking her away to keep her safe from the vines, fran is SO important to him so I always feel like i have to mention her when i write sam (and of course I had to mention ponk bc of how important they are to c!sam's development. c!sam is literally one of my favorite characters on the entire smp. I could go on for ages about him and I wanted to give him a really solid character in clinic even if he wasn't a big focus)
i love making techno love potatoes in all my fics. it's such a dumb bit but it's very funny to me
rocketduo are my beloveds oh my god. literally the reason i made an mcytblr account in the first place right around this time last year was because I desperately wanted to post my hot takes on c!rocketduos attempts to kill tommy. obviously they're less traumatized in clinic than they both are in dsmp, so they have a slightly lighter dynamic, and i loved getting to translate that to here!
literally i never understood why people always made george be some good guy in fics because c!george is literally the most apathetic guy around. he doesn't really give a shit about morality, he just does what he wants. there's so much wasted potential when people just use him to be part of dream's moral compass or whatever with sapnap. no! let george be dream's partner in his fucked up shit or just not care what dream's doing!
and then that ties into sapnap because if you make george apathetic as hell, it provides an even better foil to sapnap. c!sapnap is so good, i've loved seeing his shift in the dsmp as dream has gotten worse and worse. he's such a good and interesting character, and I'm glad you agree that if dsmp!dream was a bit less fucked up, dsmp!sapnap would probably still stick by his side. he's loyal! dream is his best friend! but he has limits, and in clinic dream wasn't as evil as dsmp!dream, so sapnap hadn't reached his breaking point yet. but it was still such a fun dynamic to play with and a great way for me to parallel him with tommy
oh my god yes quackity my BELOVED! every time my man quackity does one of his big lore streams i am sitting at my computer frothing at the mouth with popcorn because c!quackity is one of the best damn written characters on the dsmp. he is SO interesting, and i'm really glad i nailed that balance of humor and intelligence he has. he's charismatic, he knows how to make himself likable, but he's also grown ruthless over time and knows how to be a sharp businessman. i also want to put him in an oven. and yes you are spot on for why I made him a shapeshifter! i once saw a comic a long time ago that hc'd dsmp!quackity as a shapeshifter because of his constant switching skins for bits, and that just stuck with me. so when i was coming up with his power for clinic, i thought shapeshifter was absolutely perfect. so glad you caught that!
anyway tysm for this long message it really made my night :) I'm also so happy to hear you noticed all these tiny bits I included, I really love when people pick up on the small stuff I throw in there <3

Every Story Is Us (CH 5)
(AN: I was convinced by Jess to post this here. IDK why Jess but you work in mysterious ways. To read this in AO3 and my other drabbles, visit here.)
“What you seek is seeking you.”
~Rumi
Penelope choked on her the tiny sip of wine she took. She started coughing but her date carried on like nothing was amiss.
“Yeah, you remind me so much of her. You should meet Mother. I just know she will love you,” he gushed further. He gave her an expectant grin.
She gaped at him in astonishment. They literally just sat down not fifteen minutes ago, yet he was already talking about her meeting his mother on their first date. She knew it was a bad idea to trust Eloise and Fran’s idea. Tinder dates were really not her style. And, based on her first date, she felt vindicated.
She was about to set the record straight when the server came to their table and took their order. She opened her mouth to speak but her date was a lot faster.
“She’ll have the Steak Diane. You don’t mind me ordering for you, right?” he asked as he turned to her.
Penelope was too dumbfounded to respond. He was hitting all her red flags and he was completely oblivious to her irritation, which was awfully apparent since the server’s professional smile turned into a wince. She only raised her glass of wine to the server, who understood immediately her need for more booze. If the server were considerate, she would bring an entire bottle for her.
“Oh and separate bill,” he added before explaining to her with a hint of condescension, “I like to go Dutch on the first date. You don’t mind, do you? Of course you don’t!”
Honestly, she didn’t mind at all. If anything, she would have insisted on it. She felt that he was the type to lord it over after dinner, expecting for something in return. But the way he went on another tangent about his mother, she just knew she was not going to last the appetizer course.
She cursed Eloise and Fran heavily in her head. They insisted she try out the app and look where it got her. She should have followed Daphne’s instructions, to never get caught up in her younger sisters’ shenanigans. As she listened to her date drone on and on, one thing became clear in her mind. She needed new friends.
Nay, better friends.
She just moved from Ireland to London for work. And she met Eloise, a fellow teacher, not too long ago and they clicked immediately. Soon, she was invited to all their brunches and dinners. She fell in love with her family instantly, all eight of them. Although, there was a Bridgerton brother she has not met yet. Seemingly, that Bridgerton was off traveling the world and was on a lengthy tour this time around. And, if he was anything like his siblings, she knew she would come to love him too. But, right now, that love she felt for all things Bridgerton started to wane. She said she didn’t want a date but no, Eloise and Fran had to drag her kicking and screaming into one.
She was pulled out of her reverie when her date grasped her hand. He gently caressed her with his clammy hand and she nearly shivered from disgust because why was his hand so wet?
“I just knew as soon as I saw your picture you’d be the one. Even mother said you’d be a good wife with your wide-set hips,” he beamed at her.
“Oh my god,” she gasped out loud. She tugged her hand back and excused herself to the restroom. She needed to get out of this date. Never in her life had she felt so uncomfortable. She frantically dialed Eloise to come save her but there was no reception at all. Her annoyance reached an all-time high. Was there a fucking signal blocker installed in this facility? She lingered outside the restroom, hidden by the stately plants decorating the restaurant, and repeatedly scrolled through her phone for a miracle. She was close to screaming in frustration.
It was then she felt a finger lightly poke her back. She swiveled around and saw the most gorgeous man she had ever seen. He was exactly her type: tall, dark and handsome. He was incredibly fit, and wearing clothes that highlighted his muscular body. He had on a sympathetic smile and lips that were begging to be kissed. Well, hello there. Maybe his attractiveness short-circuited her brain because she just stood there gaping at him like an idiot.
“Sorry,” he modestly started, “I couldn’t help but notice. Are you alright?”
Penelope nodded, heat spreading on her cheeks. She must have looked like a mad woman, pacing to and fro in front of the restroom. She smiled weakly at him.
“Are you sure?” He glanced in the direction of her date and she grimaced. Her date was openly picking his nose in public at the moment. Penelope had to close her eyes in an effort not to shudder in repugnance. “Anne told me you might need saving.”
She perked up at the name of her server. She might have found her salvation after all. “I…actually, I might,” she bashfully admitted. “I need rescuing from my date. It’s a Tinder date.” She felt the need to explain why. Obviously, this handsome man in front of her probably think she was crazy for going on this date in the first place. And, just in case he might be interested, she wanted to make herself appear saner.
“No worries. I’m your guy,” he reassured her. When he grinned at her, she swore it went straight between her legs. The pull of her attraction to him was insanely intense. She had never felt anything like this before with other men.
“Colin, by the way,” he held out his hand, which she met coyly. “Penelope.”
She marveled at how long his fingers were compared to hers, how rough his skin was against hers and how dry his hands was compared to her date. Her mind started to wander to more wanton thoughts as he shook her hand. His fingers should be illegal, she mused. When he let go, she already mourned the loss of contact.
“Alright, Penelope. I’ll be your knight in shining armor tonight,” he stated excitedly.
Ugh, and he’s charming too? How the hell was he real?
He urged her back to her date without a game plan, only a wink. She got too pre-occupied with said wink to even ask about how he planned on rescuing her. She reluctantly sat down across her date again.
“You sure took your time there,” her date stated said evenly. “I hate waiting. Be more prudent next time.”
She almost threw the basket of breadsticks to his face. Colin better come right away or else, she will stab the man in front of her in the eye with a breadstick. Before she could openly berate him, Colin marched to their table purposefully. He stopped with a loud dramatic gasp.
“Penelope, how could you?” he bellowed scandalously. “After ten years of marriage, this is what you’re doing?”
“What the fuck…” she mumbled in shock at his theatrical display. Her date appeared to be equally confused at the scene in front of them.
“And you left Colin Jr at home by himself to meet up with this man?” Colin continued his melodrama without pausing. “What does he have that I don’t?”
“Wait, you have a kid?” her date’s furious question jerked her from her bewilderment.
“I-“
“I thought you were a virgin!” he cut her off, for the nth time this night.
“That’s where you draw the line? Me not being a virgin?” her incredulous voice was shrill in affront.
Even Colin stopped with his dramatics with a revolted, “Dude.”
Thankfully, this was the moment her date decided to storm out. “Mother was right, after all. Never trust anyone from the internet,” he spat at her before he left.
Penelope hissed back, “It goes both ways!” She clutched her wine glass and chugged the contents in one go.
Colin took her date’s seat and stared at her, eyes twinkling in amusement.
She glared at him. “And you, Colin Jr really?” she asked with a huff.
“I got carried away. You should have seen your face!” He laughed out loud. But she had a sneaking suspicion that he planned it all from the start. She supposed, once that her outrage had passed, it was hilarious. She started giggling with him.
He was about to stand when the food came out, along with a bottle of wine. Penelope stopped him from leaving. “It’s a shame to waste all these food I’d end up paying for. And really want to thank you for saving me from that horrible date.”
He appeared hesitate so she added further, “After ten years of marriage, this is the least I could do.”
He laughed out loud again. It definitely was her libido acting up because she felt herself swoon slightly to his baritone laughter. She found herself wondering if he had a Tinder account. He gestured for her to pick which plate was hers. She gratefully took her previous date’s salmon dish and pushed the steak towards him. They ate, happily chatting about everything under the sun. He regaled her with stories of his vast travels, one story similarly exciting as the next. She offered her childhood tales from her Irish motherland. He started talking about his work, and how he just came back from Morocco after missing his boisterous family. And she started opening up about her insecurity of being in an unfamiliar country all by herself. He held her hand in consolation as she admitted succumbing to homesickness sometimes. He comforted her by recounting comical anecdotes from his travels.
If she was awestruck by his good-looks, she was even more enamored by his wit and sense of humor. He made her laugh so hard but he also made her think. There was nothing sexier than a sharp intellect. He was becoming more dangerous to her as more times passed.
They stayed together until it was closing time. And she barely noticed the passage of time. It wasn’t until Anne cleared her throat in front of them that they noted that they were the only patrons in the restaurant left. She awkwardly asked for the cheque but Colin stopped her.
“This one’s on me, Anne.”
Their server nodded and bid them a good night before leaving.
“What? Wait, Anne!” She tried stopping her but her pleas fell on deaf ears. “I was supposed to treat you,” she grumbled lightly to Colin.
He shrugged. “How can I ask the mother of my child, Colin Jr, to pay for our date?”
She paused, blushing profusely. “Even if she dared to date someone else tonight?” she teased playfully.
He leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, “Even when she tried to date someone else tonight. And might I add, she looks absolutely lovely tonight.”
Smooth like fucking butter. Her face must be red as a tomato right now, she reckoned. “Well, Colin Jr’s dad is not bad looking either.”
He beamed at her. She wanted to look away because he was too beautiful, it’s just not right. But he gently grasped her hand and asked softly, “Can I have your number? I really liked our time together and I really like you.”
“I like you too,” she replied, breathless.
He started leaning towards her, eyes locked on her lips. She did the same, magnetically slanting her body closer to his. Just when they were a fraction of an inch away, the kitchen door busted open with Anne bustling out.
“Boss, do you want-oops! My bad!” She retreated as fast as she came.
Damn it, Anne! Her scowl must have been a sight since he started chortling. He kissed the back of her hand reverently after to assuage her.
“Wait, she said boss?”
It was his turn to be sheepish. “I own this place.”
She blinked. That explained his intervention. “I clearly chose the wrong place to cheat on Colin Jr’s father.”
“I don’t know. I thought you were at the perfect place and time. I think I’m plenty lucky tonight,” he said sincerely.
She didn’t think she should voice out that if he kept on being sweet like that, he will get even luckier tonight. She only replied, “I’m glad.”
She exchanged numbers with him eagerly before bidding him a good night. But before she could step out from the restaurant, he gathered her in his arms and crashed his lips against hers. And it was magic and satisfaction and bliss and release all rolled into one. She clung to him, desperate against the tide of overwhelming emotions. When his tongue slipped into her mouth, she was completely swept away. It felt as if she would come undone with just a flick of his tongue. When they broke apart, they were gasping for air and sporting giddy grins.
“Good night, Colin,” she called out sweetly.
“Good night, Penelope.”
She didn’t sleep at all that night. The butterflies in her stomach were too flighty. And her excitement could not be abated, even as she knew she was attending a Bridgerton brunch the next day. She was groggy when she came in but a smile could not seem to leave her face.
Eloise pulled her aside to interrogate her about her Tinder date last night but the flurry of excitement filled the room. Everyone was enthusiastic for some reason. “The long lost Bridgerton is finally coming home. The prodigal son has returned,” Eloise said wryly. But Penelope detected her friend’s delight beneath all the sarcasm.
“Oh, that’s good,” she could not help but mirror her friend’s pleasant demeanor. She was already riding the high from last night. Another cause for celebration was just the cherry on top.
“Yeah, apparently he came back yesterday from Morocco in secret so he could surprise us. But Hyacinth still can’t keep her trap shut, ruining the surprise.”
“Morocco?”
It was then that she heard a familiar voice bellow out his greetings. She whipped her head fast and her eyes met his across the room. It was cliché but she would swear to anyone who would listen that at that moment, time slowed down. When their eyes met, it felt like nothing else mattered. And her heart leapt in anticipation as he crossed the sea of people to meet her.
“Penelope?”
“Colin.”
“You two know each other?” Eloise asked, awed.
She smiled brightly, eyes locked onto Colin. “Of course! We’ve been married, what…ten years now?”
He snickered harder upon seeing everyone’s bewildered faces. “Colin Jr missed you last night.”
Eloise interrupted again, “Is he talking about his dick?”
Penelope chose to ignore her friend now that Colin intertwined his hand with hers. “Did he now? I should go visit him some time.”
“I’m sure he’ll be ecstatic with your visit.”
“So how does tonight sound?” she asked, playful in her inquiry but nervous with his answer.
He kissed the back of her hand sweetly. “Perfect. I know a place. They serve the best Steak Diane.”
She laughed.

Sour-Apple-Studios has just revealed that we're nearing the end of Horrotale, only about 20 more pages left, and I am SO HYPE! I know you don't follow the canon (your version has NOTHING in common with canon besides basic premise, especially Sans who could not be further from canon Horror!Sans, I'm actually curious how you came up with him), but I'm wondering if you could please share some more of your Horrortale headcanons to celebrate? Pretty please?
Ohh, what a wonderful success for canon Horrortale! It's always sad when a story ends, but at the same time there's this sense of satisfaction that you now know it's complete? Unless the ending sucks out loud (Star vs. the Forces of Evil deserved better!).
Ok, so I know, I KNOW my interpretation of Horrortale is extremely different from what's canon, and I knew that my HT!Sans couldn't be further away from his official incarnation.
As for how Pacifist Horrortale came to be, I suppose it all began when I wondered if the famine that turned the Underground into a hellhole could still happen in other timelines aside from True Pacifist.
And then I pondered how horribly tragic it would be if Frisk had left on the best terms with everyone, only to return years later to find some of her friends have died and the others barely put together and quite a few almost completely out of their gourd.
The idea grew from there, and that's how Pacifist Horrortale was made - an AU where all of the monsters in Horrortale's Underground love and adore Frisk, but she's constantly in danger of them succumbing to their madness and never-ending hunger.
Now let's talk about Sans's personality here - this IS a Frans blog, so of course he's gonna fall in love with Frisk. She stayed a while in the Underground, maybe a few months before leaving with a promise to one day free them all.
Sans wanted so badly to tell her how he felt before she left, but by the time he mustered up his courage and decided to run to the barrier, she was already gone.
Then about six months later, Toriel fell down and dusted, leaving Undyne to take the throne while the former Captain of the Royal Guard was still grieving. Then the famine happened...
One day in a fit of stress and anger, Undyne accidentally struck Sans's skull, permanently damaging him. The Underground went to hell in a handbasket, and all he wanted was for Frisk to return and make everything better again.
His longing for her to come back and that growing longing turning into a sort of insanity was greatly inspired by The Rebellion Story. So many of Homura's lines pertaining to Madoka could fit seamlessly into Pacifist Horrortale's narrative:
"my emotions have all come back to haunt me. i can't remember anything but glimmers of light and regret. ah, so this is... my despair. frisk... thank you for coming all the way to a place like this. i'm sorry i couldn't even say 'goodbye' to you in the end..."
This movie, dang it... This movie...

My Turn (PA P.2)
Title: My Turn (Performance Art, Part Two) Summary:  Fem!Reader x Ransom Drysdale. The reader is married to Ransom; a picture of their life and flashback to when they met. If she had been here by her own choice and her own choice alone, things may be better for her. Ransom is devious though and is able to tangle her into his web. Words: 2,651 Warnings (for the fic in entirety): Dub-con, dub-con smut, body shaming, coercion, emotional abuse, loveless relationship Author’s Note: This was supposed to be a one shot but here we are.
Part One || Masterpost (mobile) || Fanfic masterpost
“You are always so much more relaxed when Ransom isn’t here,” Harlan remarked lightly, his fingers tapping on the table lightly.
You looked over your shoulder from the stove at him, caught off guard by the comment. He was sitting there, his gaze prodding. Marta was at the small kitchen table with him as well, looking as uncomfortable as you with the random comment.
When he noticed the startled look on your face, he gave you a gentle smile. “I’m not accusing you, Y/N. No need to be on edge. Just… making an observation.”
Unsure of what to say, you looked away trying to conjure up anything that would not be taken too seriously.
“He can be intense sometimes,” you offered up, stirring the soup in the pot.
Once a month at least, you made a point to visit Harlan on your own – well, now with Oliver. He was sleeping in one of the guest rooms upstairs that still held one of the cribs from when his grandchildren were young. Now, his great-grandson was using it. Fran had taken the baby monitor with her down to the laundry room. She insisted on coddling him as much as she could when you visited. You were cooking dinner as you usually did when you made these visits. You enjoyed Harlan’s company – your grandparents had never been a large part of your life, so it was nice to have one. You cherished his company and his humor. And you enjoyed Marta’s company as well. She was the closest thing you had to a real friend. All the women at the country club were not for you, even though you faked it perfectly whenever you were around them.
‘’Intense’,” Harlan rolled around in his mouth, contemplating on the word choice. “Hmm. Yes, I suppose that is an accurate way to describe it.”
The conversation dropped off from there, silence filling the space. You snuck a look at him and saw he was deep in thought, staring down at his hands.
What an odd thing to say, you thought to yourself.
But Harlan was one to notice something like that.
<><><>
As you walked back from the kitchen with a glass of water, you noticed Harlan was standing in his veranda, overlooking the back yard. Changing course, you walked out of the screen door, catching his attention.
“Anything interesting, birthday boy?” you asked.
“Besides the beautiful sunset?” Harlan asked, smiling and gesturing at the setting sun.
“It is a fine shade of orange,” you commented, coming to stand by him.
He nodded and asked, “How are you enjoying the party so far? And where are my congratulations? I think that’s in order.”
You laughed, “Of course. Congratulations for your 85th birthday. And it is… just beginning. So, so far so good. The cake looks lovely, I saw it in the kitchen. Lemon frosting. Should be tasty. It is one of my favorites.”
“I remembered that,” Harlan said. “You love lemon tarts too. And lemon bars. I am sensing a theme here. We are very much alike in our passion for lemon dessert.”
“Hmm, you’re really going to enjoy part of your gift,” you said, reaching into your pocket for the candies. “I brought these for you.”
He peered into your outstretched hand and let out a throat chortle. You dumped the lemon warheads into his hand, sharing the laugh. Examining them, he said, “I am sure that is what my face will look like when I eat them.”
“Should do it in front of everyone. It’ll look nice in the photos,” you joked.
“I just might,” Harlan said, smiling at you. He slipped them into his pocket and told you, “Thank you, Y/N.” He held out his arm. “Escort me inside?”
You looped arms with him, “Yes, of course.”
<><><>
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Ransom snapped, standing in front of Harlan’s desk. Harlan had called him into the study from the party and informed him he was considering changing his will, expressing his unhappiness with the family.
“Does it sound like I’m kidding?” Harlan asked nonchalantly, only a twitch in his face giving away he was annoyed that Ransom had swore at him. “It is what is best for everyone if they do not shape up.”
“So, you’re just going to give your fortune away if everyone doesn’t change to what you want them to be?” Ransom asked, laughing in disbelief.
Harlan shook his head, “No… no, I do not intend to do that. I will leave it to Marta.”
“You’re joking,” Ransom scoffed. “Your Brazilian nurse? Are you insane?”
“No, I’m thinking straight for the first time in a while. And not just Marta. But Oliver too,” Harlan informed him. Ransom straightened at that, his eyes narrowing. Harlan gave him a wry smile, “Now, don’t you go trying to get clever about it either, Ransom. Oliver won’t be able to touch it until he’s 25 years old.” Ransom scoffed again, looking furious. “And to that point as well, Y/N will be in charge of it until then.”
Ransom’s eyes bugged incredulously, and he blurted, “Y/N?” He seemed more offended about this than hearing about Marta.
He shook his head, biting his cheeks. He was supposed to control her, not the other way around.
Stepping towards the desk, he demanded, “Just because she bakes you dinner every once in a while? She gets to have millions of dollars for that?” His voice was rising. “You don’t know what you’re doing. You really have lost your goddamn mind!”
“You do not get to tell me what I am going to do with my will!” Harlan said louder than he intended to.
Leaning forward, Ransom pointed at him threateningly, “I’m warning you—”
“You should be grateful,” Harlan cut him off.
“’Grateful’?” Ransom demanded. “Grateful? What about this should I be grateful about?”
“That your son will be taken care of,” Harlan told him firmly. “I’m only telling you because I do hold a special place for you, Ransom, but you need to do better by her. And consequently, be a father, a real one. Prove to me you love the family you have and grow it with purpose. I don’t plan on sharing this with anyone… they can figure it out after I am gone if things don’t change. You have an opportunity here—"
Ransom barked out a laugh, throwing his hands up. “I can’t with this. Look, when you’ve got your head screwed back on, I’ll be here to talk. Happy fucking birthday.”
Without another word, he turned on his heel, storming to the door. He threw it open, letting it hit the wall on his way out.
<><><>
Meg was cooing at Oliver, smiling as his eyes followed her. You adjusted him in your arms and asked, “Do you want to hold him?”
“Oh, su—”
“Get your shit,” Ransom ordered you, appearing out of nowhere, startling the two of you. “We’re leaving.”
He looked engulfed in fury and you knew better than to argue with him normally but like this was signing a death wish. But it was Harlan’s birthday, and you could not help yourself.
“But the cake and—”
“You don’t need cake, do you?” Ransom spat vehemently.
Heat quickly game to your cheeks and you closed your mouth, sinking into yourself at his insult. He always knew how to cut you the deepest. Meg though was another story.
“What the hell, you asshole—” she started to spit back at him.
“Shut the fuck up, Meg. Don’t you have some communist bullshit to go read about how you’re going to undermine the government?” Ransom snarled and snapped his fingers at you. “Y/N, what did I just tell you? Stop standing there looking stupid. Get Oliver’s shit and let’s go. I’ll be in the car, don’t make me wait.”
He turned on his heel, swiping his coat off the back of the chair by the door.
You swallowed sharply, trying to hold back tears as you made eye contact with Meg for a moment before averting your gaze, humiliated.
“What the fuck is up his ass?” Meg muttered, staring in anger at where he had disappeared.
You managed a shrug as you began walking towards the door where Oliver’s car seat was waiting. She told you she would get him buckled up if you wanted to go say goodbye to everyone. You shook your head, not trusting yourself to not look like a mess, nervous about how Ransom was going to be for the rest of the night.
The car ride home was unpleasant. He was silent but you could tell he was fuming. And he kept stealing angry glances your way and you could not for the life of you figure out what you had done.
When you did get home, he hit the scotch, making a stiff one as soon as he got through the door practically and you made yourself scarce. You planned to steer clear of him as much as you could knowing his bad mood was only going to be exacerbated by the alcohol.
The TV echoed from downstairs, he was not watching it quietly. You swore under your breath, as Oliver babbled softly. He had been sleeping so soundly in the car and had woken up to the loud noise downstairs. It took awhile to get him back to sleep and when he finally did, you laid him down gently and left the room as quiet as you possibly could, closing the door. You waited a few seconds and did not hear him cry out, much to your relief.
Going to the bedroom, you got ready for bed, hoping to fall asleep quickly because Oliver had a habit of waking up around 4:00am.
Just as you had turned off your bedside lamp, you heard a creak. Turning, you saw Ransom’s silhouette was in the doorway, illuminated from the hall light. The TV was still on downstairs and you hoped he was only up here to change and would leave again without unleashing any more beratement on you. You still could not figure out what you had done that had made him so upset with you. There was usually something. You wore the wrong type of dress, cooked something he was not in the mood for, came too quickly…
He stalked into the room coming to your side of the bed and the hope he was going to leave you alone was quickly fading. He reached out and turned on your lamp again, staring down at you. You could see he was drunk; you knew the signs in his eyes.
“Are you coming to bed?” you asked him calmly.
His smile was unkind. “Oh, yes. Dear wife. I am coming to bed.” Just as quickly as it had appeared, his smile fell and he ordered you, “Take that stupid thing off.” You stammered and he asked annoyed, “Am I going to have to rip it off of you?”
Quickly, you pulled the nightgown off, sitting naked on the edge of the bed as he undressed himself, kicking his clothes off to the side. He was already getting hard, to your surprise considering how much he must have imbibed by the smell of his breath. Before he even had to ask, you laid back, your fingers at your sex. You tried to relax as your fingers worked, trying to will yourself to start to get wet.
Ransom’s gripped your thighs and yanked you across the bed towards him. “No, on your hands and knees,” he growled, half tossing you over in a fluid motion.
You did the rest of it for him, shook by his aggressiveness. You mourned prematurely for your pussy, knowing you were going to be sore tomorrow; you just knew sitting was going to be uncomfortable.
Behind you, as your fingers sunk into your sex, you could hear Ransom digging around in your bedside table. You only stalled for a second in your rubbing when you heard the unmistakable sound of one of your vibrators. He slapped your hand away and it fell back to the bed for you to rest your head on as he brought the toy to your clit. You moaned, fingers curling up in the comforter.
The pressure was building, and you begged, “Ransom, please…”
He only responded with a hum of approval and then the vibrator was gone. You had a split second to pout before he slapped your swollen pussy. You jolted, wincing at the sharp sting. His cock slipped in, his hand pressing down on the small of your back. His thrusts were deep and steady, groaning at the tightness.
Ransom’s hand clamped down on your jaw, turning your face to look at him forcibly. You gasped in surprise when he spit in your face, burying himself hilt deep. His hand moved up, wiping the spit all over your face roughly.
“You’re gonna cum all over my dick,” he rasped, slowly rolling his hips. You groaned, full of him. “Aren’t you?” You nodded feverishly and he smiled in response. “Can’t fucking help yourself.”
Ransom pulled out, snapping, “On your back.” Your calves rested on his shoulders, his fingers digging into the front of your thighs as he resumed his thrusting, jolting you against the bed. You keened, his cock brushing your g spot so easily in this position.
“Look at you…” he husked. “A dirty little whore. Say it!”
“I’m your dirty little whore,” you gasped back to him.
His eyes practically rolled back into his head. “Yeah, that’s all you are,” Ransom groaned in pleasure. “A filthy little skank. Mine. Mine…”
Trailing off, Ransom bit at his bottom lip as his thrusts became quick and shallow. It was too much, pushing you over the edge, much to his pleasure. You saw stars and your legs quivered and you heard him encourage you, a new slew of degrading names falling from his lips.
Your legs were held up by his hand as he stared down at your pussy, his eyes still hooded with arousal. You could feel his seed inside you – he always finished inside.
“That won’t do,” he murmured. His fingers ran up, wiping the cum dripping out of you and he shoved his fingers back in. “There we go… don’t want to waste a drop. Let’s make sure his little. fucking. favorite,” he grated out every word, his fingers pushing in deep and you clenched around him, biting your bottom lip as your high wore off. He was not being gentle. “Gives us another little bun in the oven to fawn over.”
Why was he talking in third person? You did not dare ask.
“You’re going to act happy, Y/N. You’re going to be happy. You’re going to fucking smile. You’re going to fucking love me, adore me. And everyone’s going to believe it,” Ransom snarled at you, his breath ragged. “That fucking clear? No more of this kicked puppy routine you fucking do. Especially when it seems I’m not there. I won’t have it. Not anymore. We are going to have a perfect little family from now on.”

I’m going to fuck you every night until you’re giving me another son.” His fingers slowed, his thumb rubbing your abused clit and you hissed. He smiled at the reaction and he gave it a little pinch, drawing a pathetic whimper out of you. “Yeah, you’re going to do exactly as I tell you. Such a good girl.”
He gave you a rough kiss and husked, “Don’t mistake me being nice to you outside these walls as anything other than it being my turn to put on a show.”
