Masterlist

'Have you seen the size of the spiders they got there, honey?'

'I miss you too,' you fought your tears as you held your phone, not wanting to cry during your video chat, which was nearly impossible as Sihtric, your husband, was already sobbing on screen.

'Fuck, bunny,' Sihtric exhaled sharply as he wiped his tears with his bruised hand, 'I used to love training camp,' he swallowed hard, 'but I really hate it now. I miss you, I just want to go home,' he said softly and started bawling all over again.

'Sihtric,' you sighed, 'it's… it's only two more weeks, honey, we're so close.'

You didn't know what to say. You already knew Sihtric was a softie at heart, but this took you by surprise. You had both been sad to kiss goodbye for several weeks, but you thought he would be fine, as he would go and do what he loved.

'I just need you,' Sihtric sniffled, 'please, love. Just… just come over, please, for the remaining weeks. I can arrange everything-'

'Darling, no,' you said as you wiped your own tears, 'we shouldn't. You know we shouldn't do that, don't tempt me, please.'

Your husband groaned and raked his fingers through his long, wet hair. Every night after training, when he was alone in his room and had taken a shower, he called you for hours until he almost fell asleep. Every night had been emotional, but tonight had to be the worst, and you didn't know why. And apparently, neither did Sihtric. He just missed you. All day of pretending to be a tough guy just got to him tonight, and he broke down only moments after you had picked up his late night video call.

'I know,' he said and tried to compose himself again, 'when all this is said and done, I never want to sleep without you anymore. Promise me you'll sleep beside me every night?' he asked, his big, teary eyes staring at you through your screen.

'I promise,' you smiled and sniffled, 'I don't want another night without you either. I… I don't like being here, on my own. In your house I mean,' you looked around as you laid all alone in Sihtric's huge bed, 'this house, it's just too big. Even when you're here I still feel… you know...'

'I know, baby,' Sihtric smiled softly, 'I want to move as well. Not because I think it's too big of a place, but I'm just tired of life there. It's still too close to the city for my liking and I just don't want to greet any more neighbours when I go for a jog. We'll start looking for a new place after the fight, I promise,' he said and puckered his lips to you, blowing you a kiss.

'You still want a big house like this?' you frowned.

'Well, yeah,' Sihtric chuckled, 'we'll need space for our future children,' he shrugged, 'and I want the house to be big enough so that I can still fuck you senseless, without having our kids hearing anything,' he laughed.

'Sihtric!' you yelled but had to laugh too, 'we'll see about that, tiger,' you hid your face half under your blanket.

'Not pregnant yet, honey?' he asked after a moment.

Sihtric had asked you that question every damn day since he last had sex with you, several weeks ago, early in the morning in the shower, before he had to leave for camp. But your tests were still negative.

'I don't think so, love,' you shook your head lightly, 'no positive tests yet.'

Sihtric smiled weakly and sighed, a little disappointed. 'We'll keep trying, baby,' he said.

'As if you mind,' you chuckled.

'As if you mind,' he laughed.

'I'm in no rush to have children, you know that. If it happens then it happens.'

'I know,' Sihtric sighed, 'I know there's no rush.'

'I think we should first get this fight done with. After that you need some time to calm down from everything,' you said, 'and then we should look for a new place to live and talk about the future.'

'I know,' Sihtric shrugged, 'I think we should take a trip after the fight. Somewhere warm.'

'Again? Babe, we just came back from-'

'That was only a weekend, bunny,' Sihtric interrupted you, 'I mean a proper trip. We already had to cut short our stay in Hawaii. We never really had a honeymoon, did we?'

'You just keep finding excuses to get away,' you chuckled.

'Hey, I don't need excuses to want to get away with my wife,' Sihtric laughed, 'what the fuck?'

You laughed at his playfully hurt face. 'Fine, where to?'

'I don't know yet,' Sihtric said, 'anywhere you want to go, my love. Maybe Australia?'

'Australia?!' you frowned, 'babe… I don't know.'

'What? Why not?'

'Have you seen the size of the spiders they got there, honey? Absolutely not,' you shook your head.

'Oh, come on. As if you'll encounter those,' Sihtric scoffed.

'And what if we do? Then what? You're going to challenge it to a fight?'

'Well, they're big enough, aren't they?' Sihtric laughed.

'Good night,' you hissed.

'No, no! Baby! Don't hang up!' Sihtric yelled, and he calmed down when he saw you were only joking.

'Look, let's first focus on this fight and see how you get out of it, okay?' you said, 'may the gods forbid, but maybe you come out all battered and bruised, then we won't be going anywhere for a while.'

'I know,' Sihtric sighed, and he stared at you with his big eyes for seconds, without saying a word.

You chuckled lightly, feeling yourself become a little shy suddenly. You couldn't believe he still had that effect on you after all this time.

'You're so beautiful,' he eventually said, with a shy smile on his own face. And you saw he teared up again. 'I miss you so much, baby,' he whispered, not even fighting his tears anymore, 'you're everything, bunny. I swear. You're everything I need in my life. I never…' he swallowed hard, 'I never thought someone could make me feel like this. So happy and complete yet so… so vulnerable. I can't fucking think straight when I'm with you or without you,' he chuckled, 'you don't know what you do to me, love.'

'And you don't know what you do to me either,' you smiled, teary eyed.

'Can't be good,' Sihtric smiled weakly as he looked away from his screen.

'It's not good,' you said, 'it's perfect, Sihtric. Look at me,' you said softly, waiting for him to look back at his phone again, 'I love you. Until the end of time. Nothing can get in between us, nothing. I mean, fuck,' you laughed, 'I had given up on love before I met you. I never even had dreams of getting married, or to have a family. Until you came around. You and your stupid cocky attitude, and that pretty scarred face,' you smiled, 'you turned my goddamn world upside down. And we've been through hell but we got out, only to be dragged back into hell again, but we're still here. You're still with me despite the trouble our relationship has caused you, and the amount of pretty ladies and men throwing themselves at you. And you get me, you never tried to change me. And you just make me feel loved, and safe…'

'Baby, stop,' Sihtric said, almost inaudible as he was a snotty, blubbering mess. And he needed a minute to pull himself back together again.

'No one ever…,' he took a deep breath, 'no one in my life ever made me feel loved,' he said softly, 'and I know that sometimes I react too heavily. Too overprotective and too angry at little things when it comes to you, but it's just because I- I am terrified of losing you. No one ever loved me. Not my family. Not my brother or my father, maybe my mother but I don't even remember her. Everyone in my life has been temporary or were only there to hurt me. And you… you heal me. And sometimes I hold onto you too much, I know that, but you are all that matters to me. The only thing that truly matters. And I'm so sorry that I've handled a lot of things the wrong way, my love. I'm still learning how to… be a… to be someone's o-other half, because I never thought I would be someone's half.'

Two weeks later you were in New York. It was fight night and you couldn't wait to wish your man good luck before he had to walk out. But due to some security issues, you weren't allowed to see him before his fight. Finan argued with everyone in charge, but it didn't change a single thing. No one that was part of the fighter's training team was allowed to meet up, and this wasn't just for Sihtric, it was the same for Sigtryggr.

You were upset but you knew you couldn't change the rules, you just had to wait until after the fight.

Sihtric was furious that he couldn't see you and it almost got out of hand in his dressing room. Luckily Uhtred managed to talk some sense into him, which withheld him from punching everyone in the face that kept you away from him.

But Sihtric was fueled with rage, and sexual frustration, by the time he had to walk out.

'There he is,' Erik, one of the fight commentators said as your Dane walked out to the cage, 'Sihtric Kjartansson. I didn't think he'd be here, to be honest.'

'Really?' Sigefrid, the other commentator said, 'he's had a rough time, but he is a man of his word.'

'That is true,' Erik agreed, 'but no one would have blamed him if he had completely pulled out of the fight after everything.'

Sihtric entered the cage and he immediately paced around the octagon like a wild, vicious beast, baring his mouthpiece-covered teeth occasionally as his eyes scanned the crowd on the floor, looking for you.

'Look at him' Sigefrid said, 'what an impressive body. And we already know he is an insanely skilled fighter!'

'But so is Sigtryggr,' Erik said, 'we can't underestimate either one of them, as this is not just boxing. This fight will not be easy.'

'It won't be,' Sigefrid laughed, 'I hope we'll see loads of blood!'

The crowd was loud an excited at the sight of your husband, and you couldn't keep your eyes off him either.

'What is he doing?' Erik asked as they saw Sihtric kept pacing around, 'is he looking for someone?'

'Oh!' Sigefrid said, when he followed Sihtric's gaze, 'his wife! His wife is here!'

'Oh, right, amidst all the chaos surrounding him I forgot he got married,' Erik laughed.

Sihtric walked over to the side you were at, and he leaned against the fence. He stared into your eyes with such intensity, you felt completely flushed and even shy at your husband's gaze. You wanted to look away, but you couldn't, because this was the first time you saw him again after weeks of being apart. And he looked so damn good. His body was ripped, in impressive shape, and his long hair was braided again.

'Baby!' Sihtric shouted, but the crowd was too loud and you could barely hear him. He gestured for you to come over, but Finan was quick to hold you back when you got up from your chair.

'What… what is he doing?' Sigefrid commented, and Erik shrugged, confused.

'No, sweetheart,' Finan said as he held your arm, 'you can't go to him, not now. And he knows that bloody well himself,' Finan huffed, knowing Sihtric could get disqualified if he got close to someone that was not part of his team right now.

You sighed and looked back at your husband, you weakly threw your hands up, gesturing that you couldn't just get over to him now. And Sihtric angrily slammed his gloved palms against the black metal chain-link fence before he paced back and forth again. His eyes were full of fire as he kept staring at you, like a tiger in a cage, eyeing his prey. Except he didn't want to harm you, he just desperately wanted to love you. And you were so close to him now, but he still wasn't allowed to be near you, and it infuriated him. Sihtric kept walking back and forth, occasionally stopping to lean against the fence again, mouthing I love you's and blowing kisses at you.

'I mean, there's alot we can say about Sihtric,' Erik said, 'but his loyalty and undying love for his wife is incredible and genuine.'

'That is true,' Sigefrid said, 'but we can't forget to give her credit too. Because if all those stories are true, she he has truly stuck with him, and that is worth a lot these days.'

'Absolutely,' Erik said.

'And she's a beauty!' Sigefrid laughed.

'I wouldn't let Sihtric hear that,' Erik snorted.

The commentators laughed while you stared at your husband, terrified, because he wasn't calm. Sihtric wasn't clear headed right now, and this could be his downfall. This could get him severely injured, again. You knew Sigtryggr was a ruthless fighter, and you didn't need to be a fighter yourself to see that Sihtric was taken by weakness right now.

You watched how Sihtric and Sigtryggr touched gloves and then walked back to their respective corners.

And then the dreaded sound of the bell echoed through the arena. The crowd roared and you felt sick to your stomach. You were absolutely terrified for your man's wellbeing right now, and you held your breath when both men approached each other at the centre of the cage.

You clung onto Finan when Sigtryggr threw a fake punch, trying to catch Sihtric off guard, but it didn't work. Instead, about 15 seconds into the fight, Sihtric suddenly caught Sigtryggr in the face with a brutal high kick. And Sigtryggr fell down to the canvas within a split second, knocked out.

The crowd erupted in baffled screams and shouts, Erik and Sigefrid also broke out in loud shouting as they jumped up, and you just stared at the cage in disbelief. Finan shook you as he jumped with happiness next to you, but you couldn't believe it. You were nailed to the ground as you watched Sihtric jump up the fence and climb over, throwing out his mouthpiece before he jumped upon the commentators table.

'I'll fucking have you for talking about my wife, don't think I didn't hear you,' Sihtric grinned at Sigefrid, and both men laughed before Sihtric leaped off the table, running over to you.

'Love!' he yelled, but you were still frozen as he ran up to you.

Finan pushed you towards your husband, as you still couldn't grasp it, and just like that first fight you had been at, Sihtric picked you up in his arms and he kissed you as if there was no tomorrow.

'I can't believe this!' Erik yelled, 'this is unreal! Absolutely unreal!'

'I… I have no words,' Sigefrid smiled, 'and look at him! He hasn't wasted a single breath in that cage, it's like there never was any fight. He has zero damage to himself. Amazing. Just amazing.'

'It's a shame he retires,' Erik shook his head, smiling, 'I mean, technically, this fight was his UFC debut, and look what he did. Look what he did! If he decided to continue within the UFC, his payslip would be insane!'

'Yeah, but he's not in it for the money,' Sigefrid shrugged, 'I doubt he'll make a return, but you never know,' he said, and both men smiled as they saw history repeat itself when Sihtric kissed you, in the middle of the crowd.

As soon as you felt his lips pressed onto yours, you snapped out of your dream-like state. You took his face in your hands as he held you, and you kissed him back, eagerly.

'I missed you so much,' Sihtric sighed, and he kissed you again.

You were both deaf to the excited cheers around you, you only had eyes and ears for each other.

'I missed you too,' you sniffled, and Sihtric put you back down on your feet, 'I'm sorry I couldn't see you before the fight, they wouldn't let us.'

'I know,' Sihtric said, clearly annoyed again when he remembered it, 'it was the same for every other fighter, fucking bullshit,' he huffed and pulled you in for another kiss.

'I can't believe you won,' you said, suddenly realising what just happened, 'and so… so fast?!'

'I was fucking fuming, love,' Sihtric said as he looked down at you, 'I knew the sooner I'd finish that fight the sooner I could be with you,' he shrugged.

You laughed and shook your head, and then Finan said that Sihtric had to get back into the octagon, as they still had to officially announce the winner, and it looked like Sigtryggr had regained consciousness again.

'Come,' Sihtric said and pulled your arm.

'Wait,' you said, 'am I allowed to go there?' you asked and looked at Finan, knowing that he would tell you the truth, whereas Sihtric would just say 'yes' even if you weren't allowed to go there.

'Yeah, partners, friends, family… they are allowed to get in the cage now,' Finan smiled, and he followed the two of you as Sihtric walked you to the cage, with his arm around waist.

Sihtric kept holding your hand inside the octagon as Sigefrid wanted to announce the winner, to make it official, and he kept telling Sihtric he had to let go of you, but your husband refused.

After the announcement he shook hands with Sigtryggr, paying quick respect to him while he still held your hand in his other. And when Erik went to interview Sigtryggr, drawing all eyes on them for a moment, Sihtric turned to you and gently pushed you towards the metal fence.

'Hey,' he smiled, his hands settled on your waist as he had you cornered.

'Hey,' you chuckled, your hands slowly moving up his insanely toned chest.

'Kiss?' Sihtric asked, almost looking shy.

You smiled and wrapped your arms around his neck as he leaned in. You kissed, hot and heavy, and for a moment it seemed that Sihtric would tear your clothes off right there in that cage. He didn't care that the whole world could see him claim you as he kissed you desperately. And you reluctantly broke the kiss and took his hands while he leaned his forehead against yours.

'Easy, tiger,' you smiled, breathless.

'Waited so long for you,' Sihtric said, sounding desperate, 'don't make me wait any longer.'

'It's not my choice, Sihtric,' you chuckled, 'hey,' you said as you saw Erik approach, 'you gotta do your interview now.'

Sihtric groaned. He didn't want to do the stupid interview, because he had to do another one in about an hour, together with Sigtryggr for their last press moment. So Sihtric already knew he didn't have much time for what he wanted right now. He first had to do this short interview, then he had to get you alone in his dressing room, where he'd fuck you as soon as that door closed behind him, and then he still had to shower, dress up decently and make his way to the last press conference, and who knows for how long he'd have to answer questions, before he could finally take you back to his hotelroom.

You grinned at Sihtric's annoyed face, because you knew what he desperately wanted, and you took a step back when Erik congratulated Sihtric once again.

'So, we know you are officially retired now,' Erik said as he pulled Sihtric to the centre of the octagon, in front of a dozen cameras, 'but I don't believe we've seen the last of you here, Sihtric. This was such a promising finish to a highly anticipated fight, we would be shocked if you'd never return to the game. So tell us, what future plans do you have? What will you do next?'

Sihtric grabbed Erik's hand to pull the microphone towards him, and he stared at Erik.

'I'm gonna do my wife next,' Sihtric said, completely deadpan, and let go of Erik's hand before he turned and walked back over to you.

Sihtric took your hand and helped you down the short stairs, out of the cage, and before your feet could touch the concrete arena floor, Sihtric picked you up and threw you over his shoulder. And with a grin on his face he carried you all the way backstage, to his dressing room.

'What do you mean there's no lock on the door?' you hissed as Sihtric struggled with his dressing room door.

'Well there is a lock,' Sihtric said, agitated, 'but it won't lock!'

He fought with the key for another second and then just kicked the door.

'Calm down, Sihtric,' you rolled your eyes at your hot headed husband as you sat down on the comfy sofa.

'Whatever,' Sihtric muttered and turned to you.

With two big steps he made his way over and climbed on top of you, after he had pushed you down on the sofa. He pulled down your jeans and your panties before you even realised it, and you laughed.

'I missed your eagerness,' you smiled as Sihtric took off his fightshorts and threw them along with his groin protector cup on the floor.

'That all you missed?' Sihtric grinned as he lowered his body down onto yours, and he nuzzled your nose, 'hm?'

'You know what else I missed,' you gave him a cheeky smile and wrapped your arms around his neck.

'Mhm,' Sihtric hummed, 'my wife missed my cock, didn't she?'

'I did,' you breathed when you felt him slowly enter you, 'I missed my husband's cock,' you hissed with a smile.

'Oh, gods,' Sihtric sighed desperately as he felt your walls clench around him, 'I bet you did,' he chuckled mischievously and kissed your lips, 'I love you, baby,' he whispered.

'I love you too,' you whispered and closed your eyes as he bucked his hips into you.

Slowly at first, but Sihtric quickly lost his self control. He had been desperate for you ever since he last saw you, nearly two months ago, and he couldn't hold himself back anymore. He fucked you fast, hard, deep and… short.

'Oh, fuck!' Sihtric growled as he came, only minutes after you just got started, and your eyes shot open in surprise.

'Fuck,' Sihtric hissed, 'fuck, I'm so sorry, baby,' he moaned, 'oh, gods,' he said out of breath, 'I- I didn't mean to finish already, babe… I… I'm sorry.'

He pushed himself up to look at you, a little embarrassed. You stared at him, wide-eyed and open mouthed, completely bewildered.

Sihtric could keep it up for at least an hour with you. He could do it quickly too, but then he still wanted to enjoy you and he'd last at least 20 minutes. Him not even lasting three whole minutes was something you didn't expect to ever happen.

'Shit,' he sighed and pulled out of you.

He sat back on the sofa and buried his face in his gloved hands. You had both been so eager, neither of you had bothered to take off his fingerless gloves or handwraps. Sihtric looked at you, as you still laid there, and you started to laugh.

'What the fuck was that?' you laughed.

Sihtric shrugged and his cheeks turned a deep shade of red.

'I'm really sorry, love,' he said softly and hid his face again.

'Babe,' you snorted and pushed yourself up, pulling him in for a hug, 'it's fine,' you chuckled and kissed his cheek, 'I guess you were just really excited, huh? You're doing everything fast tonight it seems.'

'I guess,' Sihtric chuckled, relieved that you weren't upset or worse; disappointed.

Well, you were a little disappointed, as you had been looking forward to this moment all the same. But you knew Sihtric would make it up to you later that night, in his hotel room on the top floor, overlooking the entire city, where he'd fuck you in front of the window. And in the morning, he'd have his way with you again; in bed, and later once more in the bathroom.

And maybe, if he wasn't too rough with you, he'd have you again after lunch, on the table, before you'd go sightseeing the city. Because Sihtric was determined to get you pregnant as soon as possible, and you both enjoyed the process of trying.

Summary: Loki is the exclusive owner of the hottest club in New Asgard. Dubbed the Nine Realms, each of the nine rooms represent a different realm. You are his second in command, working the floors and ensuring everyone is having fun.

A/N: There's just something about toxic fictional characters that tears me to bits LOL. Likes are always awesome. Please consider commenting and reblogging to help support writers!

Taglist: @cantstayawaycani @braverthanthenewworld @monaeesstuff @headcannonxgalore @chaos-4baby @dayjlovesromance @soft-persephone @mybonafidefeelings

Loki could still taste Darling in his mouth and it was driving him insane. He could hardly concentrate as he walked past all of his kitchen staff. He did have the patience of a god but he wondered just what Darling was holding on to.

If it were a matter of logic, he could present you with the facts of your attraction. As soon as you came to work for him, you drew an aura around you that captivated him. Not many people or things did. You had an easy working relationship and it was offset by your chemistry. He had backups for his arguments for why you would make a formidable pair.

If it were a matter of emotion, he had all manners of ways to appeal to your baser instincts. You always came undone when he touched you. It seemed like you were nearly close every time. He’d take you to the precipice and something called you back. Away from him.

He wasn’t too proud to admit that he was jealous of it. Of that secret part of you that you held so near and dear in your heart. He wanted the inside of your heart. He wanted your everything.

The kitchen staff before him trembled and watched him with a wary eye. You hovered in the background. Pride swelled in his chest whenever he’d see you flinch and hiss from him smacking your ass. His hand twitched with the urge to do it again. But alas, more pressing matters were afoot.

“We have a saboteur,” Loki announced. No one twitched. It either wasn’t one of them or they were damn good at lying. He doubted they were that good at lying. Loki stalked back and forth like a caged tiger.

He was sick of the puzzles and games. The mishaps around his club. An attack on his club was an attack on him. He could handle it, but he didn’t want his people harmed or his money interrupted. Whoever the person was…Loki clenched his fists. Perhaps Darling wasn’t the only one wound tight.

“The past few weeks, there have been accidents and screw ups. Kitchen fires, missing shipments. The other day, our own Angel was hurt on stage in front of witnesses. Our saboteur must be an embittered employee. Perhaps former. I should like to think I’m a fair boss,” he said.

The staff gave each other a look before bobbing their heads up and down. Some were tall, some were short. Some wore white chefs uniforms with aprons and stained kitchen towels thrown over their shoulders. Some had their sleeves rolled up, arms crossed in front of them. A few were shaking. Not from fear of guilt, it didn’t look like.

“I’ve vetted them myself, Loki. They wouldn’t mess with the club. It’s like home to us,” you said.

“Stay out of this,” Loki demanded. He didn’t need you clouding his judgment in the moment. He needed his wits about him.

“You. Where were you earlier?” Loki pointed to a man on the end, with short graying hair. The man startled before clearing his throat. “Prep, sir,” he said.

“And did you see Darling this morning? Sign for the delivery?” Loki asked.

“No, sir,” he said.

“Who did?” Loki asked. Hands tentatively wavered to the air. Loki questioned them all. They all saw you pop in and say hello. You went to the bay to sign for the shipment, you spoke with Justin, and then left. Justin delayed going outside but when he did, the shipment was gone. Poof. Vanished.

Loki sighed as he looked at the sorry lot. His patience was precariously thin. He singled Justin out and made him stand forward, away from the others. “Tell me what happened.”

Justin wrung his hands, sweating profusely. Loki didn’t detect magic on the man. But if the saboteur flitted throughout the club undetected, it stood to reason that they’d hide in plain sight as well. Loki didn’t recognize the man from before. He was Asgardian, but was he magical?

In starts and stops, Justin recounted what happened exactly as the others put it. Stockroom first, bar second. Loki watched Justin as he spoke. Loki huffed a laugh and looked at Justin.

“Do you take me for a fool?” Loki asked before his power unfurled and the kitchen staff behind Justin screamed out in pain. Justin whipped around as the staff were in various states of sinking to the floor.

“No!” You rushed forward. Loki held out a hand to keep you in place while he cast illusions over the staff. Their worst nightmares were brought to life. Except for Justin. He watched in horror as they writhed.

“Do you not think I can tell when someone is lying to my face?” Loki spoke calmly, jovially as he stepped closer to Justin. He grinned at the man but it was more like a baring of teeth.

“I swear–”

“Do not swear unless you mean it, wholeheartedly. Their suffering is on your hands,” Loki said. His voice dropped, nearly a seductive whisper.

“Stop it!” You cried out. Loki ignored you. “If you’re going to punish anyone, punish me!”

“Admirable, Darling. But not what I’m after.” Loki kept his eyes on Justin. “I will have the truth.”

The kitchen staff were still screaming. They were on the floor now. Some had merely sat, staring off into space. Shock got them by now. Others were fighting it, wiggling on the ground like listless worms. Justin shook from head to foot.

“I was in the stockroom!” Justin yelled out. “Oh gods, stop!”

“You must think so little of your fellow coworkers,” Loki mocked with fake sympathy.

“Loki, you bastard! Let them go,” you yelled. You pushed against his hold on you. You were a powerful sorceress in your own right, to be able to fight him off. He half wondered why you didn’t use your powers more.

Loki ignored you. His focus was on Justin, on the way the man dripped with sweat. Whatever he was lying about, Loki would hear the truth.

Justin sighed. “Stop it! Stop it! I was in the stock room. With…Carter,” Justin said. He hung his head with a sigh of defeat escaping him.

“Ah,” Loki said. Asgardians didn’t care about that but this Carter person must’ve. Loki released everyone, including you, and they panted on the ground. Their screams died away. Justin looked toward who Loki assumed was Carter but the man turned away from him.

You rounded on Loki, your earlier pain forgotten, and you pushed Loki. He was immovable. He arched a brow at you and smirked.

“You had no right!” You yelled. “You don’t punish employees like that! Ever!”

“I have every right!” Loki’s voice boomed and echoed in the tiled expanse of the kitchen. “I own this space, this club, the floor we walk on, and those in my employ. It’s mine!” He advanced on you, getting into your face. Not as a lover this time, but as a true god. The Prince of Asgard. The Heir of Jotunheim. No one stood in his path. No one.

“You will be left with nothing if you continue to push people around like pieces on a chess board!” You pushed him again. And again. Each time, Loki didn’t move because he didn’t want to move. He chuckled at your feeble attempts.

You slapped him. The bright sting of pain made him smile harder. “Bit harder next time, Darling,” he said.

You did slap him harder. He grabbed you by the throat and pulled you in closer. “You’re better than this, Loki,” you managed to squeeze out.

Loki chuckled and leaned in close. His lips brushed yours. “Do not attempt to tame me,” Loki whispered. He stared into your eyes. He couldn’t decipher the emotions there but he knew desire when he saw it.

Still, you fought him. Fought the side of you that needed release. It was beginning to irritate him. He was a god brought low by the part you refused to share. He wanted it. Like a spoiled child reaching for the last slice of cake when no one else had any.

You were mad at him. So be it. Perhaps you’d finally let go of the control you so desperately clung to. He wanted you to yell, to scream, to punch things. You kept such a tight leash on your emotions. He wanted to pick at the threads keeping your seams together and unravel it until he got your core.

He wanted the universe inside of you. Every star, every nebula, and every wayward black hole. He wanted your ugly, your beautiful, and your very essence. He wanted and wanted.

You pushed him away. Denied him once again. Loki moved back.

“We will find the saboteur another way. Not like this,” you said. Your teeth were clenched and you were no longer looking at him. He stared at you until your eyes met his.

“Pray, tell me how then?”

You didn’t have the slightest fucking clue. You weren’t a fucking detective. But it couldn’t be like this. If he tortured everyone in the club, there would be no one left who wanted to work here. This went beyond a mere occupational hazard. Despite his little tantrum, he did not have the right to treat desperate and hard working people like this.

These people lost absolutely everything. Their home, their families, their jobs. They were in a foreign land with foreign people and customs. All they had was the club and Loki was too stupid to realize it. Or to care.

You knew he was cruel. This wasn’t even the first time you’d seen him unleash his powers on someone. It should’ve sickened you. But nothing he did ever turned your stomach. You understood him. Sometimes, emotions were too big and too wild to contain inside. The big ones like lust, rage, euphoria were too much for one body to contain. As much as Loki wanted to project an aura of control and carefree mischief, he was still a man reaching for what everyone else was reaching for: to be understood.

“It must be together,” you said, throwing his earlier words back at him. His eyebrows raised a fraction before smirking.

“Very well,” he said.

You sighed. You felt like you had just defused a bomb. You turned to the kitchen staff. “Fan out. Someone saw something and there’s only so many places to hide our ale,” you said.

The staff gave Loki a wide berth as they muttered amongst themselves. You’d have to talk to them individually. Especially Justin and Carter. You had suspected but…

Justin crossed towards Carter. A human with honey-golden skin and dark hair and features. He recoiled from Justin’s touch and wiped at his eyes. You hated that Loki made Justin confess in front of everyone. Who cared if he was in the stockroom? The place was probably crawling with…unpleasant things from all the employees. It was one of the only rooms you could lock. There were no perishables inside so…

You turned to Loki who watched you, cold and calculating as always. Still, you couldn’t bring yourself to hate him. It would be easier if that were the case. He was the one that always riled you up and yet you were the one that always wanted to soothe him.

You stepped closer to him. “That can’t happen again,” you said.

“You’re giving me orders?” He asked and smirked. He looked you up and down and you hated that your body reacted instantly.

“Not everything is a damn sexual innuendo. That was too far,” you said.

“Not far enough in my view. Someone is messing with my club. The list of my enemies is not short. The list of my magical enemies is even longer. We are leagues away from a lot of them but it’s not difficult to surmise this is where I am after the destruction Thanos wrought. My enemies could have been snapped or remain in their own realms but someone hates me enough to make the trek here. Instead of facing me they’re…”

“Intentionally driving you mad?”

Loki’s lips parted but he nodded. “As a form of…”

“Punishment? Revenge?”

“Both. Either.” His nostrils flared as he thought about it. “I’ve made a career of caring for nothing and no one, Darling. I got my own mother killed by being petty when I was confined. But this…this I care about. And the saboteur knows it.”

You slipped your hand in his. He was as surprised as you were. You forced yourself to hold his hand and look into his captivating eyes. “They’re not trying to harm the place. Their tricks have been, well, petty as well. Hiding shipments, bewitching customers, sending Angel through the stage. They could’ve burned this place to the ground ten times over. They’re not going to take this from us.” Yes, you included yourself in that, don’t make a thing of it.

Loki smiled at you. An expected boyish smile that made his eyes crinkle and made you smile in return. You liked seeing that smile. And pleasure ran through you knowing that you put it there on his face.

“Uh, the shipment is in the bay.” You looked away from Loki to see one of the dishwashers, Harry, pointing outside. You glanced at Loki who frowned.

You followed him back out into the shipping bay. Sure enough, there was the shipment. Relief passed through the kitchen staff like a tangible thing. They kept their celebrations quiet as they eyed Loki’s reaction.

Together, you walked to the shipment. There was a giant red bow on it like it was a present. You were sure that if you checked the cameras, it would have just appeared. But who? Why? What did the saboteur gain from this? To embarrass Loki?

A dark thought raced through your mind. This would be quite embarrassing. Loki never usually lost his cool or let anyone see past the facade of a devilish club owner. These mistakes and mishaps were undermining Loki’s authority.

Fear gripped you as Loki approached the shipment. Like any good present, it came with a card. The card was long instead of wide. It was a deep, emerald green and shimmered as he flipped it back and forth.

You approached and read it over his shoulder. All it said was “remember”. Whatever the fuck that meant. You looked at his face. He scowled at the card as if it were to blame for everything that had been going on here. He flipped it between his delicate fingers.

“It smells faintly of magic. But I can’t place it,” he said quietly.

You turned to the staff and discreetly waved them away. They wasted no time getting back inside and getting back to work. Once you were alone, you put your hand on his arm and turned him towards you.

“It stands to reason that whoever this is, is constantly watching and listening in. Leaving this card, they must think they’re winning,” you said.

There was no way to hide what you had puzzled out earlier, so you just told him. He showed no emotion as you told him your theory but his jaw flexed as he thought it over.

“They want me to react, to split my attention. They will sneak in when I least expect it and strike while I’m distracted.” he said.

“Yes,” you said.

He smiled and nodded, looking out to the setting sun. He smirked at you. Devil indeed. He held out his arm and you took it.

“Well, then. Let’s give them a show.”

Gertrude and the cat-avatars, pt6

Summary: We meet some more girls!

A/N: Uhhhhhh I tried my best...? Similar to the first part, thanks @dcartcorner bc the idea came from their stream and also for liking this au. Also additional thanks to the chatter in today's stream that gave me enough motivation to finish the next part.

Aaaaas always, not beta read by someone else, just me, my document and school stress

Pt 1, Simon, Peter, Elias and Mike / Pt 2, Michael and Helen Distortion, Agnes / Pt 3, Annabelle, Jude, Oliver / Pt 4, John, Jane, Maxwell, Manuela / Pt 5, Jon, Martin, Sasha, Tim / Pt 6, You're here! / Pt 7, Jared, Gerry, Nikola / Bonus, a visit to the vet / Halloween bonus!

The next four arrived close to each other in pairs. Not too long after Sasha, Jon, Martin and Tim made themselves comfortable.

The first one was a rather fluffy light brown cat. The eyes were bright blue though there were scars going straight over those. Gertrude has a suspicious feeling that something was wrong with the eyes. Especially considering the cat right next to them. It was darker with stripes. Right beside the other, occasionally bumping into the other with a meow.

Gertrude didn’t do anything about it. Thinking they would leave the next day. Two days passed and instead another pair came in. One of them dark grey with yellow eyes, for a moment the cat looked up at her and Gertrude nearly shivered. Sure, sometimes one of her cats would glare at her as if they wanted to kill her. But this one felt like the statement could be held true. As if she was watching a tiger in a small ordinary cat form. The other was also grey, though with black stripes over the body and black paws.

Gertrude ended up having to let them all stay. The light brown cat was taken to the vet in which she was informed that, while the scars had healed over, the cat was blind. Gertrude did not necessarily want a blind cat. She still had work and was, admittedly, a bit worried over how a cat unable to see, would be in a house full of other cats.

Gertrude had googled up inspirations for names. In the end she had landed on Melanie, the blind cat. Georgie, the one by Melanie’s side. The grey who seemingly wanted to kill Gertrude any time she looked at her, had been named Daisy by Fiona and the other had gotten the name Basira.

A week into living there all four cats had gotten mostly settled. Daisy and Basira seemed to prefer being alone, Daisy having a habit to hiss and glare at others. Georgie had managed to befriend Jon, as well as someone could befriend him, while also sticking to Melanie’s side. Gertude felt slightly relieved by the fact that Melanie didn’t have to navigate on her own. Though Gertrude got real concerned as she went to make dinner one day after work only to find Melanie on the counter holding a knife in her mouth.

#cat avatars #gertrude robinson #basira hussain #daisy tonner #georgie barker #melanie king #the magnus archives #mood while writing this: *constant screaming*#You can really see which characters I like or write more

Finale kinda crazy. Ending even crazier. Was that actually him. Also. Atsushi's fangs were beautiful. I wish we got more Atsushi with tiger traits. I literally die of happiness every time I read a fic where he chuffs, or scents, or lays in sunbeams. The mental image of him getting hugged by Dazai or Kunikida and just getting so happy that he lets out a breathy chuff is just SO CUTE. Don't even get me started on Atsushi kneading. Don't even get me started on Atsushi expressing his affection like a tiger w/ the ADA. Atsushi and ADA platonic love is actually amazing.

Tiger instincts in not tiger body + Atsushi being sassy is just.... peak fiction. My favorite thing to read. Red in Tooth & Claw on ao3 is LITERALLY THIS and the best fic in existence. When it updates every 7 days it literally makes my week. I love it so much. I love Atsushi so much...

#bsd #tiger atsushi #atsushi #bungou stray dogs #bsd finale #the a/b/o in red in tooth and claw is amazing. a/b/o with 1 or 2 people but only those 1 or 2 people have a/b/o traits >>>>>#I might be a furry #catsushi

my (official and real) sketchbook playlist!! descriptions underneath! i have put the songs in a specific order and tried to make sure all the songs fit their vibe too outside (or disregarding) lyrics. also the types of music i think theyd enjoy lol.

1.. don't believe - vashti bunyan

oh, don't believe that love brings happiness gone tomorrow, here today love involves so much unhappiness don't believe what they say

lets kick it off with some folksy bittersweet 🤟this is both kaisa and johanna separately, before they meet. and their mirrored loneliness

2. apple pie - the scary jokes

i'll always be too shy to say what's on my mind i'm fantasizing all the time

the scary jokes are on this playlist. kaisa music. magic shygirl type of stuff

3. walking all day - graham coxon

walking all day with my mind on fire tryin' to get talkin' to you

this one's johanna vibes. ohh the days she'd spend walking round town, visiting the library, daydreaming about running into her and pretending it was an accident. she can't sit still, always restless, a teenager again

4. beautiful brain - mabel ye

i think you're beautiful i think you've got a beautiful brain i think you're beautiful i check up on it every day and while we sit just four feet across separated by a wall that is both white and moss i feel distance from you i feel closer to you

real ones know this came up in sketchbook week.. watch the music video for this!! (its sketchbook af)

5. super crush - tiger trap

i've got a supercrush on you because i think about you night and day

i'm not explaining this

6. the too much song - lemon demon

you're too much or am i not enough? you're (too much) and i feel this way much too much the longer that i wait the more you are much to my dismay

kaisa's perspective..

7. pink smoke - the scary jokes

you walk through walls set off the smoke alarms i feel your arms wrapping around me your aura almost drowns me pink smoke gets stuck in my throat when i say your name my heart goes up in flames

aaah johanna is crushing on a being of magic!

8. trees and flowers - strawberry switchblade

and i hate the buildings and the way they tower over me can't you see? i get so frightened no-one else seems frightened

strawberry switchblade is such kaisa music! goth & sweet! this song is definitely her but i think johanna's general anxieties about the city & the wilderness really show up in this song. they connect over these anxieties

9. i wanna be the moon - the scary jokes

it's scary to see you falling for me i wish that i could be i wanna be, i wanna be the moon i can't make you cry from way up in the sky and that's the reason why i wanna be, i wanna be the moon

kaisa's perspective. she doesn't like to get too close to people

10. it must be love - madness

i never thought i'd miss you half as much as i do

cmaaan johanna would love madness. london gerl. also one of the actual best love songs ever written ever

11. i have the moon - lush

you have to fly around the world all day to keep the sun upon your face i'd like to come and comfort you but i'd be blinded by the blue you have the sun, i have the moon

another sketchbook week song OOPS... literally sun/moon couple.

12. m'lover - kishi bashi

i wanna do what lovers do with you i wanna walk the edge of the earth with you

ripped STRAIGHT off the hilda soundtrack shamelessly. lovely magical sound. this plays when they're going on a very long expedition together

13. soho square - kirsty maccoll

one day you'll be waiting there no empty bench in soho square and we'll dance around like we don't care and i'll be much too old to cry and you'll kiss me quick in case i die before my birthday one day you'll be waiting there come summertime in soho square and i'll be painting stars up in the sky before i get too old to cry before my birthday

one of kaisa's first crushes was kirsty maccoll i'll say it. this song is so emotional the strings her vooiice!! this is a city love song. this is johanna leaving trolberg within the hc that they were childhood friends.

14. let's do everything for the first time forever - of montreal

may we dance again so i can pretend we're dancing for the first time? because when we danced for the first time i was so nervous!

it's been so long for both of them they're like teenagers again.. every time they talk its like talking to a school crush. embarrassing af. we both are out of practice with romance. let's do it together!!

15. black magic - little mix

take a sip of my secret potion i'll make you fall in love for a spell that can't be broken one drop should be enough

hehehehe!!!

16. my girlfriend is a witch - october country

spells fill the air i think i hear footsteps on my stair coming near her thoughts are telling me that she's here

quintessential hilda fandom song. how could i not?

17. she's got a new spell - billy bragg

one minute she says, she's gone to get the cat in next thing i know, she's mumbling in latin she cut the stars out of the sky and baked them in a pie, that's how i know she stole the scene and the scenery the script and the machinery, that's how i know that she's got a new spell

another witch's lover's song.. all that magic in one household can't be good.

18. lovers rock - tv girl

are you sick of me? would you like to be?

this song is just so chilled and lovely like a quiet night in. but captures the nerves and uncertainty of dating as well

19. riches and wonders - the mountain goats

we write letters to each other, invent secrets to confess to i learn foreign and exotic terms of endearment by which to address you we feed fresh fruit to one another we stay up all night and i am healthy, i am whole, but i have poor impulse control and i want to go home but i am home we are strong, we are faithful we are guardians of a rare thing we are filled with riches and wonders our love keeps the things it finds

domesticity and true love at its greatest. i love tmg!!

20. settin' the woods on fire - hank williams

you're my gal and i'm your feller dress up in your frock of yeller i'll look swell, but you'll look sweller! tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

off some country records johanna would 'co-own' with woodman. so fun. this gets put on in the pearson household when they have a family evening in

21. acolyte - slaughter beach, dog

annie, i want you to marry me we'll wait a few years i don't mean to frighten you i just want to be clear. man, it cuts like a dull knife when you're young and you're told 'makes sense when you're older,' darling, let's get old

not much to say on this one. i luv this song :-)

22. all i want is you - barry louis polisar

if you were a river in the mountains tall the rumble of your water would be my call if you were the winter i know i'd be the snow just as long as you were with me when the cold winds blow

juno soundtrack to finish it off :-) the core of sketchbook to me is joy & comfort & nature & magic

i hope u guys enjoyed this! lmk what you think of these interpretations! show me some lyrics you think about!

NFL!Buck AU - Eddie finds out

If you saw me upload a draft of this last night... no you didn't. This is a snippet from my NFL!Buck AU. TBH I didn't know if I was going to write more but a lot of people seem to like it so far:) Context: Eddie and Buck are friends, but Eddie still doesn't know he's a player at this point in the story.

To say Eddie was distracted was an understatement. He knew he needed to keep his focus on the field – to be ready to spring to action at any moment if an injury occurred – but his gaze kept shifting to the area behind the sidelines to see if he could catch a glimpse of Buck.

For all Eddie knew, he might not even be there. In the month he's known Buck, Eddie still didn't know exactly what he did for the team. He knew he worked with the players and he was at the stadium during game days, but Eddie wasn't sure if Buck would be out on the field nearby the coaches or in the locker rooms with the rest of the support staff.

Eddie also didn't know why he couldn't stop thinking about him.

He didn't know how to describe it. The way he felt around Buck was something… different. Not a bad different, but a different he’s never felt before.

Eddie didn't know how to describe the way he felt when he would open his messages in between calls to find 20 new texts from Buck about the new Sumerian tiger cubs at the zoo. Or when Christopher asked when Buck could hang out with them again. Or when they would fall asleep talking on the phone late at night.

But he liked the feeling, whatever it was, and it seemed that Buck felt the same way too.

He also liked having a friend who wasn’t someone he worked with. He loved his job. Hen, Chim, and Bobby were quickly becoming his second family to him, but sometimes he was reminded that his co-workers were also nosy little assholes.

"Earth to Eddie. Anybody in there?" A sharp pinch to Eddie's arm from Hen jolts him out of his thoughts.

"Hey what the hell!" Eddie shoots a sharp glare at Chimney and Hen standing next to him as he rubs the spot of his arm that was just pinched. See? Assholes.

"Hey Eddie," Chim says in false nonchalance, "it's great to have you back with us."

"Having fun looking for lover boy?" Hen joins in.

Eddie arched his eyebrow up at Hen in response. They’ve been teasing him about his new friendship for weeks now, but this was new. "Lover boy?"

"Yeah, Buck. You know, the guy who has you smiling at your phone 24/7?" Hen gestures toward the field. "The very same guy who works for this very team?"

"Buck and I are just friends, okay? It's not like that between us."

Hen and Chimney look unconvinced.

"No, Chim and I are just friends. This?" Hen waves her hand in a circle at Eddie's face, "This is something else."

"This," Eddie copies Hen's gesture, "is all in your head."

"Uh huh."

"You know what? How about we stop talking about my personal life and, I don't know, do our jobs?" Eddie pointedly turns back towards the players on the field, but not before catching the look that passes between Hen and Chim.

There was a minute left in the third quarter, when it happened. The Ram's quarterback had evaded most of the defensive line charging towards him as he tried to make a play. He released the ball in a forward pass just in time to his wide receiver, but the momentum of the player coming towards him can’t be stopped. The lineman slams straight into the chest of the quarterback who flies back to the ground. And then he doesn’t get up.

The second play stops Eddie, Hen, and Chimney spring into action. Grabbing their gear they rush to where the quarterback is curled into himself, surrounded by concerned teammates.

"Chimney, check his vitals. It looks like he got hit in the ribs, but Eddie, I want you to look at his head to make sure he doesn't have a concussion too," Hen directs as they surround the quarterback.

The player is still curled up on the ground in pain, unaware of the action around him. Eddie speaks, trying to coax him out of his fetal position so he can assess his head, "Hey man, I'm Eddie. Did you hit your head at all when you went down?" The player tenses for just a second, and then shakes his head.

"That's good, that's good," Eddie tries to soothe, "but I'm going to need to take a look at it just to make sure you are all right. Can you move your head and look towards me?"

The player complies and Eddie reaches around to gently remove his helmet. Eddie already has his flashlight halfway towards the player's face when the quarterback’s familiar eyes meet his own.

"Buck?"

Day 7 Rumor / Discovery

( Had this really cute idea in my brain and I didn't want to go to sleep and lose it by the morning and it is the 24th where I am so it counts! Had so much fun doing the writer challenge, all of your compliments mean a lot to me and my husband and we're so happy you enjoy the stories of our characters <3 )

@daily-writing-challenge

It was one of those days for U-Jinn. Some days were better than others, time had dulled his daughter's absence to a faint ache in his chest but it never truly got better, and like a chronic condition, it would flare to a sharp pang under the right circumstances. For as virtuous and honorable as the monks of the White Tiger Temple liked to claim themselves to be, gossip was poisonous nectar that tempted even the most stalwart of tongues, despite the words of warning of engaging in such activities that rolled off them later to the cubs. Rules for thee and not for me, U-Jinn supposed. He could hear them from where he worked, muttering to each other and shooting an occasional glance his way. "Has he really been here all night?" "Yes, he still doesn't like to go home." "Poor dear, I couldn't even imagine..." "It's been eight years since she's been gone, he can't hold on forever." "You're telling me they never found her, no trace?" "None, but I heard she left on an errand." "Do you think any of the outsiders had something to do with it? They've brought shifty types to our shores before." "Maybe, but /I/ heard that she was hiding something. Yoo-Mi said she was ill quite often and would often excuse herself...then, a week before she left she said she saw her go to the medic." "Oh, dear, you don't think...?" "Well, I don't know who could have done it. She kept to herself often." "Maybe a boy from the village?" "Mayb---" Slam. U-Jinn had unceremoniously slammed the crate of returned books and scrolls that still needed to be sorted upon his workspace, causing both of the Pandarens' heads to jerk up abruptly, ears swiveling. "So sorry." U-Jinn stared, his voice blank and eyes hard. With a nervous smile, the two exchanged an anxious look before bowing their heads and quickly hurrying out, leaving U-Jinn alone to stew in his thoughts. Inhaling sharply through his teeth, the old bear bit back the unkind words on his mind's tongue, pressing his own hard against the back of his fangs as he began to sort through the books and scrolls. Fist of the First Dawn: Rise of the Pandaren Revolution. He marked it down as returned and moved on to the next title. Encyclopedia of Pandaren Herbs U-Jinn's brow lofted, quite a read....next. The Moon Rabbit

U-Jinn paused, breath catching in his throat as his eyes beheld the faded gold lettering of the title. The title itself wasn't strange, had this been a public library. This book was a popular fable for cubs, and it was always a particular favorite of..... His heart leapt in his chest. There had been few articles missing from her room aside from a few clothes. The cover was a navy blue, darker splotches of stains and wear and tear dotting the surface around the indented silver filled figure of a rabbit gazing up at Azeroth's little moon. By the Celestials -- Sucking in a sharp breath, U-Jinn quickly blinked as he collected the book within his paws, undoing a cord of weathered leather that had been wrapped tautly around it to keep it shut. Upon cracking it open, the scent of old parchment filled his nostrils, and a small pile of thin and folded parchment laid inside. With shaking paws, he picked up the first piece of parchment that lay on top, the cleanest and potentially newest looking one...and he opened it. Dear, Baba. It took a lot of convincing, but I've finally managed to convince Yasashi to allow me to send you this. I hope you do not think ill of him for preventing me from doing so earlier, but he wanted to ensure we were secure and safe. In the end, I can tell he is still weary about me doing this, but he knows that my sudden absence in your life has haunted me since and I'm sorry, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. Above all though, I want you to know that I'm alive and am doing fine, the rest of the letters are ones I have written periodically throughout the last eight years, and I hope they're enough to fill you in on what has been going on thus far. Oh! As of yesterday, you've a second granddaughter. She was born 10 pounds, her name is Suzu, below I have secured a drawing of her. I attached an earlier one of your first granddaughter in one of the oldest letters but I'm afraid it is not as good as this one, but practice makes perfect, yes? I hope one day you will be able to meet them, I know you'd love them a lot. Always in your heart, Soo-ha

Hello WATT fandom! I would like to introduce you to an event I just made up because other fandoms have their week, and We Are The Tigers deserves one too! WATT Week 2023!

WATT Week 2023 starts on July 25th and ends July 31st, the day of the WATT reunion concert! (Hence the final day’s prompt) You can do all of the prompts, or just one if you want! This is an open to all fanwork, so you can write fics or draw art or anything else you can think of for WATT! Currently announcements are up on my Instagram and Tumblr (here!), but this event is open to all social media platforms. (I just don’t have any others so it’s harder for me to announce this and view things elsewhere.) If you participate in this event, make sure to use the tag #wattweek2023 + #wearethetigersweek2023 so others can see your creations! It’d also be cool if you could tag me since sometimes things in tags don’t show up and I want to make sure others can see others’ works! This community is small, but is very talented and dedicated to the murder mystery cheerleaders!

We Are The Tigers Week 2023 prompts:

Day 1 (July 25th) - The basement Day 2 (July 26th) - Captain of the team Day 3 (July 27th) - And the freshman’s in prison! Day 4 (July 28th) - Pom poms up Day 5 (July 29th) - Mistletoe Day 6 (July 30th) - Pizza delivery Day 7 (July 31st) - Reunion

OG Cale/KRS: *looking back at him* 'Sup Cale: You're OG Cale? OG Cale!KRS: Yup, but I am KRS now. You should give up being KRS too to avoid confusion Cale: Sure OG Cale!KRS: Anyway, I was the one who made the deal with the God of Death to transmigrate Cale: I see, you really have been happy then OG Cale!KRS: Yeah. My mother actually reincarnated in Korea, so I'm trying to adopt her and be her uncle now Cale: Wow. OG Cale!KRS: The family, are they well? Cale: Of course OG Cale!KRS: Good. BTW, my mom had an Ancient Power Cale: Wait, what OG Cale!KRS: Yeah, I'm actually a regressor and when I was 40 the White Star won the war and by the end I realized he had my mom's Wood Ancient Power. It allows you to see the Annual Rings of Life of all living creatures. She broke her plate and died to hide half of it in Harris Village, which is why I hate that place Cale: Huh, so the White Star destroyed Harris Village while getting that power? OG Cale!KRS: Probably. You should go to mom's grave to collect the other half of it Cale: Got it. Live peacefully OG Cale!KRS: You too *shake hands with Cale* Bye! Cale: *wakes up for real* Mila: Teacher, I'm almost done fixing your plate. It's going to hurt a tiny bit Cale: Ok Also Cale: *feels incomprehensible pain moments later* (God DAMMIT I should have never trusted a dragon…!)

Monster Fights Continue Molan Assassin Squad: *finishes things up at Mount Nex* Cat Tribe Leader: Fools! Once the Temple Door opens, you will all die! Ron: (…ah, I get it now) *contacts Cale* The monster is guarding Sealed God's Temple, it seems. The White Star wants us to do the hard part and kill it for him *Meanwhile, in Puzzle City* Lock: *brings Cale the Cintamani* Cale: …the hell is this?? LSH: It seems we can communicate with each other now?? Cale: …that motherf***ing God of Death *Cintamani has been added to the Inventory* Raon: Listen up everyone! The Human woke up! Everybody: *relieved* Raon: He says, now we begin our plan: Goldie Gramps, play dead! Eruhaben: … Eruhaben: …What the hell?? Raon: Pretend to faint so we can trick the White Star into fighting the monster by himself! Eruhaben: Pff, this is definitely Cale's style, alright. That punk really is awake then Eruhaben: *dramatically pretends to faint* Choi Han: …should we help, too-? Alberu & Rosalyn: NOPE! Not you, you stay out of it White Star: *watches from the shadows* So even the Ancient Dragon was too weak, huh… Cale: We're at a stalemate, now

Thames Heritage Problems – Begin! Lock: So what are you going to do now, Young Master? Cale: I'm going to visit my mother's grave Everyone: … Alberu & Choi Han: *in-the-know about KRS and thus Be Confusion* Bud: *video-calling* (He's… he's gathering his resolve in case he dies!!!) Bud: Cale, you must absolutely not have weird thoughts like that! Cale: (…what the heck he's talking about??) Cale: *to Basen* Please lead the way, little brother (…because I don't know where to go) Raon: Yeah, let's go! Basen: *shocked at seeing Raon for the first time* Cale: How is everyone? Basen: Good. Lily is mad she can't participate in the fighting, since she's almost at High-Grade Knight level now Raon: Wow! Human's little sister sure is strong Cale: *faces the grave* (I guess now that I fully accepted my identity as Cale Henituse, I gotta get more invested in my family history, huh…) Cale: *digs up Jour Thames' Diary* Diary: "Hi person possessing my son's body" Cale: (She really knew everything, huh…?) Diary: "BTW, my family studied the cycle of life and aside from Immortals and souls who reincarnate without memories, there are three exceptions called Variables: Reincarnators, Regressors and Transmigrators" Cale (…the hell is this??) Diary: "Also there are Single-Lifers, who ascend after death. They have super long lifespans after they travel between dimensions" Cale: *thinks about Choi Han* (WTF???) Diary: "Anyway I knew my son would be either a Reincarnator or a Transmigrator eventually. Also, Reincarnators kick out the souls meant to be born in the bodies they steal and that causes those souls to have the same face as them once they are born somewhere else. The only known way to kill them is with the power of an Immortal" Cale: ... Cale: (…Good thing this dangerous information is definitely not in the possession of some evil megalomaniac I'm going to fight in the sequel!) Diary: "PS: There also might be some "Hunter" guys out there who may be going around killing Single-Lifers" Cale: (Well f***) Annual Rings of Life: *show up as a tree* Hi! You're cute! Cale: Excuse me? Annual Rings of Life: You look just like my brother and that cute idiot Deruth! Cale: Excuse me?? Annual Rings of Life: Anyway, you pass! Cale: Excuse me??? Annual Rings of Life: *get Embraced in Jour's Diary* [Wood Ancient Power: Annual Rings of Life (1/2), acquired!] Cale: *casually interrogating the captured Dorph* BTW, how DID you figure out how to eat a Darkness Elemental to gain its power, anyway? Dorph: A mysterious figure with red aura taught me Also Cale: (…I'm certain that's not something I'll have to get involved with anyway. This whole Thames heritage thing sure won't bite me in the a** later) *Cale's Ancient Power counter: 8.5*

Fourth World Tree Meeting Count Hubesha: *suddenly turns on Arm* Look, I might have been loyal to the White Star, but I sure didn't sign up for sacrificing our own citizens Cale: Makes sense Count Hubesha: I want to make a deal with you Cale: Mhhhh nah, your offer doesn't impress me. Think it over and make it better Count Hubesha: *Surprised Pikachu Face* Cale: Hi World Tree, I gotta talk to you about Single-Lifers World Tree: You mean like, Tribulators? Yeah, those dudes become gods after living though trials. Like that one who fought an evil Dark Elf and became a racist god as a result Cale: …The Sun God, huh? Makes sense. Was the God of Death also a Tribulator? *earthquake warning* World Tree: …Can't say Cale: Well, it doesn't matter anyway World Tree: Unfortunately for you, it's going to matter a lot for the sequel Cale: Wait what? Never-mind. I need your power to defeat a Reincarnator World Tree: Sure! There you go *World Tree Dagger has been added to the Inventory* World Tree: It's super easy to use. You just have to stab yourself Cale: …stab myself. World Tree: Yup! Right in the heart. You might have to do it several times if you miss, so it might be a bit messy Cale: … World Tree: Oh, don't worry about dying or anything! It's all gonna be fine. It'll even give you a health upgrade Cale: … World Tree: …what's wrong? Cale: …You DO realize my friends will have to see me stab myself, right? World Tree: … *realizes that his friends are all vicious, over-protective Yanderes*. World Tree: OH. World Tree: Um… good luck, then? Cale: (…I am so f***ed.)

Meeting Totally-Not-IronMan *Meanwhile, in Puzzle City* Cale: Ok, so Count Hubesha told me that the White Star finally got the an Earth Ancient Power that disguises him and he's pretending to be one of my father's subordinates… We gotta smoke him out Deruth: The Crown Prince wants to play dead…? If that's your plan, then I'll play along Alberu: Let's take the drama to the next level then Alberu: *falls dramatically* Roan Soldiers: YOUR HIGHNESS, NOOO-! Taerang: Slight damage sustained. Connecting to your "AS Representative" about repairs Alberu: Wait what Ahn Roh Man: *picks up* Who the HELL is the arrogant prick of a thief holding my item right now? Alberu: …did it seriously just connect me to Earth 3??? Alberu *smirk* (Well hello new source of info!) Lion Dragon: *stands down without strong opponents to fight* Cale: Ok, so now I know how to kill a Reincarnator… *omits the heart-stabbing part* Alberu: Ok, so now I know that Choi Han's uncle Choi Jung Gun stole Taerang from Earth 3… Also apparently, the Sun God's name is Angelina. Cale: Huh. The more you know Choi Han: *has an existential crisis about being a Single-Lifer and possibly becoming a god in the future* Deruth: *suddenly acts sus* Hilsman: *also suddenly acts sus* Cale: *eyes narrow suspiciously* *Among Us Sound Effect plays*

Cale, the White Star, and the Best Moment of the Whole Series Violan: *captures the fake Hilsman* You must take us for idiots, huh. I take personal offense to that *pets Raon in her lap like a magnificent bada**.* Fake Hilsman: Look, I don't work for the White Star, it was just a coincidence. I'm actually- Violan: I don't care, we'll deal with you later Cale: Ok everyone, either the White Star or someone working for him is definitely impersonating my father Cale's group: *pissed* Cale: The jig is up. Where's my father? Deruth!White Star: Still in town, but I can change that at any moment. Cale Henituse, I'm going to offer you a deal Cale: We defeat the Lion Dragon for you, and you return my father to me? White Star: That's right Cale: Wanna make a Vow of Death on it? White Star: … White Star: …no. Cale: Pff. I hate this, but very well. We will work together for once Everybody: ??? Alberu: (No way…) White Star & Cale: *shake hands* White Star: *smug* This is truly a meaningful day- Cale: *openly b****-slaps him* Everybody: !!! White Star: *shocked* White Star: …You hit me? …YOU hit ME? Cale: Heh. I slapped you so that it would feel even worse than being hit. How does it feel being slapped like the b**** that you are? White Star: You son of a b****…! Cale: Lol, you're not my mother Also Cale: *activates mana disturbance devices all over Puzzle City* White Star: Are you crazy?! Are you seriously planning on fighting the Lion Dragon without magic??? Cale: But you won't be able to snatch my father away, you dumb bastard Cale: *charges at the White Star* Jack: Your highness, by the way, the Sun God(dess) wants you to light up the night Alberu: Wait, wha-? Taerang: Holy Flashlight Activated! Alberu: Ha! Nice Also Alberu: *dramatically "becomes the sun" while wearing PJs*

White Star gets Embraced Cale: *uses the Blood-Drenched Rocks for the first time* Cale's group: *pauses* …the hell is that?? Cale: *remembers how the main condition to seal living people with Embrace is to either have them fear you or shock them* Cale: Hey White Star! You wanna know something funny? White Star: …what? Cale: You were right about your Transmigrator theory… White Star: I KNEW IT-! Cale: …but I've only been in this world for 2 years, you absolute moron White Star: !!! *completely taken aback* White Star: No… You're lying! Cale: Ha! For once, I'm really not White Star: It can't be-! Cale: Face it, b****. It took me only 2 years to dismantle your entire 1000-year-old plan White Star: No, that's not true! That's IMPOSSIBLE! Cale: Search your feelings, you know this to be true White Star: NOOOOO-! Cale: *seals him with Embrace in the Golden Plaque* Alberu: …Why are you covered in blood?! Cale: What-? Oh. No, this is just mud. …Your highness, why are you in your PJs?? Alberu: …I forgot to put on armor. Anyway! What happened to the White Star? Cale: Oh, he's right here *shows him the Golden Plaque* Alberu: … Alberu: PLEASE tell me you didn't Cale: *shrug* It was the first thing I could grab Alberu: You bastard…

Summary : just another date with your longtime boyfriend

written in reader's pov

it’s wednesday. my favourite day of the week. oh, I’m not crazy… yet. I know that it’s a day that most of the working population hates, well other than monday. but wednesday…

we chose this day for a reason, of course. the very same reason that everyone dislikes the day for. since it’s right in the middle of the week, unable to have hope for the weekend but also unable to loosen up because the week just started.

to not hate the day like the rest, and to have some motivation, every wednesday is our recharge day.

wednesday 7pm is the one moment I wait for every week. I get to see my tiger baby. well, I was forced into calling him tiger baby and then it kinda grew on me, but no, I will not admit that in front of him… getting back to the point, it’s 5:50pm right now, I’m stuck at my desk for 10 more minutes for me to clock out. all I have to do is check some data and mail it to seungkwan and I’m done.

y/n : baby y/n : babe y/n : babbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeee y/n : babyeyeeyeyye y/n : baaaaaaaaabeyeyey tiger baby <3 : I’m assuming ur not drunk yet and ur juz missing me y/n : bingo y/n : can’t wait to see u later tiger baby <3 : same babe tiger baby <3 : i’ll pick u up at 7 y/n : luv u tiger baby <3 : luv u too tiger baby <3 : now finish up soon and leave tiger baby <3 : need to see u at 7 sharp y/n : can’t even waste a moment without me eh? tiger baby <3 : bingo y/n : not u using my “bingo” when u say it’s weird all the time tiger baby <3 : sometimes I like to flatter u y/n : right tiger baby <3 : see u soon y/n : see u luv

okay. I’ve got this.

using 7pm as my motivation yet again, I checked the data pretty quickly and mailed it too. but the thing is, I’ve mailed it to seungkwan. and he’s definitely going to be here in 3, 2, 1—“missed me already?”

rolling my eyes in the most noticeable way, i replied coldly.

“it’s a work mail, seungkwan. get over it.”

“oh come on, we all know you love me.” he said with playfully shiny eyes and smug all over his face.

as much as he was cute, he was annoying too and he was fixated that I was in love with him, despite the fact that I made it very clear that I had a boyfriend, multiple times at that.

“in your dreams.”

“at least there then.” he winked and left.

not having enough time for seungkwan’s drama, I packed up quickly and headed home, right as it ticked 6.

getting all excited for the date, I couldn’t erase the smile off my face. seems like the obvious little smile was too obvious to go unnoticed, I could feel people staring. but who cares, I have a cute boyfriend to see at 7pm.

it’s been over 2 years since we started this tradition, a bit more than 2 years since we started dating, not to mention the painful 1 year of secretly pining over each other in the name of being friends. yet I’m always excited when it’s date day.

oh no, we don’t have any special story behind how we met though, isn’t it important how special our love is instead?

we just met at vernon’s party 4 years ago. yes, nothing special. we just randomly danced together and seemed to find each other interesting and became friends.

man, little did I know that night, that he would be the love of my life.

alright, let’s put the thoughts away for a while.

tiger baby <3 : it’s 6:59 and I’m at your doorstep tiger baby <3 : open the door exactly in tiger baby <3 : 6 tiger baby <3 : 5 tiger baby <3 : 4 tiger baby <3 : 3 y/n : hi love tiger baby <3 : 2 y/n : oh tiger baby <3 : I see you luv y/n : I see you too luv

standing there, my boyfriend, my love, kwon soonyoung, handed me flowers. now that’s a surprise. he rarely buys me flowers. but these are so pretty! I love it!!

“right on time love.” he smiled brightly.

I received the flowers and returned his bright smile. “baby, thank you, I love them.”

knowing what more he needed than those words, I pulled him into a hug and gave him a small kiss on his ear.

we left for our date.

it’s usually not very grand. we just walk along the long road that leads to the beach since my house is pretty close to it.

strolling through, we also have a lot of snacks while we’re headed towards the beach and light dinner on our way back.

there’s nothing much to it but doing this, even if it’s repeated and could be boring if done alone or with someone else, since it’s with him, it feels like a new experience every time. even if it’s once every month, and it’s like the 19th time we’re doing this together, still feels new.

“so, how was your day?” he asked.

I started ranting about my whole day and then it was my turn to listen to him rant. and once we were done with that, we had some light talks about random topics or about our friends or our future while eating those snacks.

but once we reach the beach, we switch our silent modes on.

literally, on our phones yes, but also our mouths. we don’t talk there for half an hour, it’s just us, laying down on the sand, listening to our beach playlist and the waves, and looking at the sky.

we’ve done this so many times but I don’t think I’ve asked him what he thinks about during that half an hour. I spend the whole 30 minutes thinking about how pretty he is and how much I love him and how grateful I am to have this wonderful person in my life, as the love of my life.

by the end of the 30 minutes, we both get sleepy so we leave for dinner.

then we go on a long walk to ease the digestion.

once back at home, we get ready to sleep.

we can’t afford to stay up late when we’re both working adults. having an evening off every week is fairytale-like enough for our economy.

snuggling into the sheets he wrapped his arms around me, “good night love.” he whispered in my ear and hugged me tighter.

“it would be a goodnight if I could breathe babe.” I joked, making him loosen his grip a bit.

it wasn’t even a few minutes after that I already find him asleep.

the way his eyes were closed and his hair had fallen towards his sides as he laid down next to me, the way his breath was also a nice sound for me, oh how hopelessly in love I was with him. I smiled and whispered into his ears,

“good night tiger baby.”

Note

canonically, how are each member of the batfam these days? I don't keep up with the comics because it's a mess and the characterization varies so much (especially Dami)

As of 8/2/2022

(spoilers ahead)

Bruce, Dick, Tim, Steph, Cass, Duke, Babs, and Selina all appeared in Batman #126, which just came out today. So far the storyline about piecing together the Penguin's lineage, including an introduction to two new members of the Cobblepot family. This specific issue did a good job of showcasing how the batfamily works together in an intense fight against Failsafe, however, the battle takes up a large chunk of the story—I give that part a 7/10 because Failsafe wasn't exactly the most compelling antagonist and the fight was a bit out of the blue. The focus also did lean more heavily on Dick than the other batkids. However, Selina's concurrent story with piecing together the Penguin's family made up for that as we uncover a new dimension to a long-time Batman villain. The expected release date for the next issue is September 6th, so hopefully they can clean it up a little then.

Jason appeared in Task Force Z #10 on July 26th. Jason and what remains of the team after the previous 9 issues are investigating Power Industries, where in a HUGE twist, they discover that Bane was Nobody the entire time (yes, the Nobody). The artwork fits the tone of the story and Jason's characterization has been pretty good, sort of on par with Urban Legends. I thought this was gonna be a filler issue so I was pleasantly surprised when they just jumped right into the main point. Also, I love seeing Jason's dynamic with Amanda Waller and other villains because it reinforces the fact that he's not 100% good or bad (as fandom likes to polarize him as)—he's versatile and can get along with people all over the moral spectrum. The projected release date for the next issue is 8/23.

Meanwhile, Damian's latest appearance was in Robin #16, which came out on July 26th, where Lord Death Man (yes, that weirdo) puts Damian's investigation into the Lazarus Island on pause. Flatline then calls Damian and Connor Hawke to Tokyo to deal with Lord Death Man, so we get a bit of international traveling bits. Mara Al Ghul and the Batman of Japan also appear in this, if you wanna count them as batfam? I like that this balances the sharper edges of Damian's personality with the classic Robin charm and I do kind of wish the series wasn't ending (alas, DC won't allow its characters to grow up). I also like that the setting of this story influences the artwork—you can see the subtle manga influences. Next issue comes out on 8/23. Overall I give this run an 8/10 because it explores a new, slightly more mature version of Damian's character, but I'm taking two points off because Lord Death Man annoys me to no end.

We see Alfred in Batman: One Dark Knight #3, which came out on 7/26. The story is a simplistic mini-run with good art as Batman nears the end of his journey to Blackgate. I like that this story takes place over a single night rather than stretched over a few days/weeks/etc. like we normally see—it's almost like Batman's typical Tuesday night. Alfred is still alive here, so it's nice to hear his sarcastic sense of humor after missing him for so long—it's sort of like seeing a family member at the airport. This comic also establishes him as DC's best trash-talker in his classic Alfred Pennyworth style. If I recall the miniseries is done, but the hardcover comes out on 9/13.

Luke Fox makes a cameo in Harley Quinn #18. Yes, that came out today too (#19 comes out on the 9th). Apparently the JLA left some old science experiments on their moon base so Luke puts together a team of former villains to... send them to the moon and clean it up (including Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Bronze Tiger, and Killer Frost). I just read it and I'm too confused to actually criticize at the moment. First, I think Task Force XX is a dumb name—it sounds like an account on an adult website. Second, I think the artwork is alright in that you have all these bright, poppy designs, but the bodies and expressions feel kinda stiff and off-putting. I think it has potential to be one of the more absurd, fun, campy storylines, so I'll hold out and see where this goes.

An alternate-universe Thomas Wayne closes in on the Clockwork Killer in Flashpoint Beyond #4, which also came out today. However, Dexter Dent gets in the way with his own mission to break his mother out of Arkham. I already had skepticism about Flashpoint Beyond because I tend to be skeptical about a lot of alternate timelines and was never the biggest fan of Thomas Wayne as Batman or Martha as the Joker. I don't know if I should be happy or not that they proved me right, because this run has been moving a bit slowly—it feels like they're dragging what could be summarized in 4 sentence out to 32 pages. Overall I'd say it's a 4/10 (since the artwork isn't too shabby). Again, I'm biased because I never liked the Thomas Wayne concept in the first place so take it with a pinch of salt. Next issue also comes out 9/6.
