Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
lorenzo was your best friend, he had been since you both were a couple of tweens and met at the hogwarts express on your first year. you remembered that day as if it had been yesterday. he had bumped into you, which made you drop your chocolate frog to the ground, after that, he immediately apologized and bought you the whole honeydukes trolley as an apology; at that moment, you swore to yourself you would never let him go.
and seven years later, he was the most important person in your life.
as every friday night, lorenzo and you were having a sleepover in your dormroom. that night, pansy, your roommate, was out on a date with some dude and you had the room all to yourselves. you were lying in your bed, enzo next to you. a film was playing, but you were having trouble to focus on it since enzo kept moving; he looked uneasy, which was really rare to be honest, lorenzo was the calmest guy in the whole wizarding world.
you couldn't possibly imagine what was going on in that pretty head of his.
truth is, the week before, the rest of the guys had discovered that enzo was still a virgin and they had been teasing him about it nonstop since then, which had already started to seriously bother him. at first, maybe you could say it was funny, but after eight days of constant jokes, it was not funny anymore.
you sighed, finally deciding to ask him what was going through his mind.
"lorenzo," you called him, using his full name, which you rarely did, "is something wrong? you seem off today..."
enzo looked away, clearly trying to avoid your eyes, and you frowned; that was the confirmation you needed to know that something was not fine, he never averted your gaze like that.
"nothing, just... dealing with some stress." he answered, dodging the subject. when he saw your unpleased look, he added, "it's not a big deal, seriously. don't worry about it."
"cmon, enzo..." you said, reaching to cup his cheek and force him to look at you, "i know you like the palm of my hand and i know something's bothering you."
you smiled reassuringly at him, pausing the film to focus fully on the conversation, then you added, "you can tell me anything, you know that, right?"
enzo's cheeks blushed slightly, his eyes darting back and forth as he looked at you, clearly hesitating whether he should tell you or not.
"you wouldn't... you wouldn't think any less of me, would you?" he asked and you saw a hint of vulnerability in his light brown irises.
you frowned as you looked at him, caressing his cheek softly; his attitude was making you really worried.
"of course not, enzo... you're my best friend," you told him with a soft and sweet voice, trying to get him to open to you.
he nodded slowly, leaning into your touch; he found comfort in your presence, it had always been that way. taking a deep breath, enzo finally confessed.
"well... it's just that... the guys found out i'm still a virgin and they've been teasing me about it all week." as he talked, his voice was barely above a whisper.
"that's it?" you asked, chuckling as your worried expression visibly softened. "they're a bunch of idiots... just ignore them, enzo," you reassured him, your hand moving up to stroke his soft hair.
enzo managed to let out a small laugh, his expression softening at your comment too.
"yeah, i know..." he muttered, his eyes fixed in yours as he thought of his next words, "but it's hard not to let it get to me when they treat me like some sort of joke."
"don't say that, enzo..." you replicated, your brow furrowed as you heard his words. "there's nothing wrong with being a virgin."
he nodded, agreeing with you, while his eyes drifted back to the paused movie on the screen. despite your words, he still seemed a bit troubled. you were definitely going to beat the guys up the next time you saw them for making enzo feel so bad about something completely normal and natural.
"i know that... i can't help but feel self-conscious about it though," he said, then elaborated, "I mean, everyone else seems to be... well, you know."
"experienced?" you asked, finishing his sentence.
you grabbed his hand, entwining your fingers with his; you wanted to make him feel better. he looked down at your intertwined fingers and sighed softly.
"yeah... experienced." he nodded while he talked. "it's not like i haven't tried to lose my virginity or anything; it's just never been the right time or person, i guess."
you gave his hand a gentle squeeze when you heard his words, smiling at how sweet he was. enzo was simply the perfect guy, the perfect friend, and you were sure someday he'd be the perfect boyfriend.
"you'll get there eventually, trust me," you chuckled and rested your head on his shoulder. "just don't overthink it, okay?"
lorenzo smiled back, clearly more relaxed now that had confided in you. his fingers tightened slightly around yours as he rested his head on top of yours.
"i know, thanks for listening, darling."
"always, enzo." you kissed his cheek briefly. "and if they bother you again about it, just let me know, I'll gladly hit them," you added, laughing.
"you would do that for me?" he looked at you, his expressive eyes sparkling in the dim light of the room.
"i'd do anything for you," you answered honestly, smiling warmly at him.
it was the truest thing you had ever told him; there wasn't a single thing you wouldn't sacrifice for him. he was just worth it. your words seemed to awake something in him, you could almost see the gears in his head spinning as he stared at you intently.
"really? anything?" his voice deepened a bit, his eyes still locked onto yours. "can I ask you something then?"
"of course silly, anything," you replied, letting out a nervous laugh as his intense gaze made you feel butterflies in your belly.
"would you..." he swallowed nervously, taking a deep breath before continuing. "would you maybe... want to be my first?"
your breath hitched when you heard his proposal, your heart started racing in your chest. for a second, you thought that you could be dreaming, so you pinched yourself; the pain you felt confirmed that your were, in fact, not sleeping.
"enzo, are you sure about that?" you questioned, unsure if he was saying it seriously or not. "we've just talked about that, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin," you repeated.
"i know, darling." he bite his lower lip, looking down at the floor for a moment before meeting your eyes again. "but I can't stop thinking about it... and I'd really like it to be with you."
"really?" you gasped in surprise, nipping at your bottom lip to try and hide the smirk that tugged at the corners of your mouth.
you loved enzo; not the kind of love you feel for a brother, though, you were in love with him, and you had tried to convince yourself otherwise for a long time, because you thought your feelings weren't reciprocated, but now... he was in front of you, asking you to be his first, and you weren't sure if you'd be able to ignore your feelings anymore.
"you aren't just doing it out of social pressure?"
you wanted to make sure he was not feeling pressured to do it; you wanted him to do it only if he finally felt ready to take that step.
"no, i mean it," he said, blushing shyly. "i really want it to be with you, y/n. you're so beautiful, and kind, and smart. i've had a crush on you for years."
his admission made your heart skip a beat; you thought you were going to faint right there and then. your thoughts were all over the place, your mind racing as you looked at him, but there was just one thing that you knew for sure; you were dying to kiss him... so you did.
"then, i guess it can be arranged," you whispered, reaching to cup his face and pull him into a kiss, one that was very sweet at first.
enzo's eyes fluttered shut as he leaned into the kiss, his hands moving to rest on your hips. he gasped softly against your lips, his heart racing wildly. you took control of the kiss as you tangled your fingers in his hair and tug at it, slipping your tongue in his mouth; the innocent kiss soon turning into a full make out session.
his hands moved slowly but surely down to the small of your back, gently pressing against your lower back and pulling you even closer to him. you slightly moaned into the kiss, unable to get enough of the taste of his soft lips.
"you taste so good, enzo," you muttered between kisses, not pulling back at any moment.
your hand moved down his neck, gripping at it, which made enzo gasp softly, his fingers digging into your waist as his tongue became bolder in your mouth. he could feel himself getting hard, the rush of blood making him dizzy.
he was practically on top of you at that point, so you pushed him gently until he was sitting on the bed, back against the headboard and you straddled his lap, leaning in to resume the kissing. quickly, he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you as close a he possibly could. one of his hands moved to the hem of your shirt, pushing it upwards slowly; the gentle caress of his fingertips on your skin gave you goosebumps.
"you want me to take this off, baby?" you asked, breaking the kiss, as you started toying with the hem of your top.
lorenzo looked at you with hooded eyes, licking his lips slightly. "yes, please… take it off."
you smirked, grabbing the hem of your top and pulling it off your body. since you were not wearing a bra, you breasts were now completely exposed under his intense gaze. his eyes darkened as he saw your boobs for the first time; they were perfect, just like the rest of you.
"have you ever touched a girl, enzo?" you questioned, a sweet tone to your voice.
he swallowed hard, his hands aching to touch you, and answered, "no, I haven't."
"don't be shy, baby," you whispered with a smile, grabbing his hands to encourage him to cup your breasts, squeezing them lightly. "like this."
enzo stared at your face closely, his eyes filled with lust as he mimicked your action, his hands squeezing both your boobs gently. his thumbs brushed against your little nipples, causing them to harden instantly.
"you're beautiful," he breathed out, completely stunned at your beauty.
you gasped slightly, your cheeks flushing as a heat wave washed over your body; your panties growing wetter by the second. the way he touched you, as if he was worshipping your body, was a huge turn on.
"thank you, baby," you muttered, squirming in his lap.
enzo moaned softly as he felt your body grinding against his hard length. he kissed along your jawline and down your neck, nipping softly as he went. you let out a cute whimper, your eyes fluttering shut when you felt his tongue lapping at one of your hard nipples and you reached up to tangle your fingers in his soft hair, caressing it tenderly; he groaned against your skin as he began to suck at the hard nub gently.
his hand moved down between your legs and he slipped his fingers underneath the fabric of your shorts and panties; you felt his digits rubbing hesitantly over your pussy, as if he didn't know what to do with them next.
"enzo," you gasped at his action, tugging at his hair tenderly. "you have never done that before, right?" you chuckled as you you caressed his face.
lorenzo blushed slightly and shook his head slowly, still teasing your sensitive skin with his fingers. his eyes locked onto yours as he whispered back, "no... i haven't."
"let me show you how to do it properly, yeah?" you said with a sweet voice, grabbing his hand to pull it out of your panties.
then, you got off his lap, sitting next to him as you pushed your shorts and underwear down your legs, finally exposing your pussy. his breath hitched in his throat as he saw you completely bare for the first time. he reached out tentatively, tracing a finger along your upper thigh.
your hand moved down to cup your pussy, your fingers gently parting your slick folds to rub your swollen clit in circles, teaching him how you liked it; you couldn't help but gasp at the touch.
"just like this, see?" you asked, looking at him with glazed eyes.
enzo's eyes darkened as he watched you touch yourself; you looked so vulnerable and exposed, yet so sexy. when you withdrew your hand, he replaced your fingers with his, mirroring your movements as he started rubbing your clit in small circles.
"fuck yeah, like that..." you muttered, your breathing coming out in sharp pants as your hips bucked forward. "doing so good for me, enzo," you praised.
he groaned at your praise as he watched you writhing at his touch. his dick was rock hard in his pants and he wished more than anything that he could slide it into your tight pussy right away.
you reached next to you to push his sweatpants down his thighs, just enough to free his erection. he arched his back slightly to help you and his hard cock sprung free, standing tall against his flat stomach. you bit your lower lip, your mouth watering when you saw his dick; he was really big.
"can i touch you, baby?" you asked, your hand absent-mindedly tracing patterns over his abs.
enzo's breath hitched at your touch. his abs flexed slightly under your fingertips as he nodded eagerly. when he gave you his permission, you grabbed his length in your hand gently, pumping it slowly at first.
he groaned at your touch, leaning back against the headboard as you began to stroke his cock, his fingers still rubbing your soaked pussy. his eyes were half-closed as he watched you move your hand up and down.
"that feels so good, darling," he muttered.
you moaned in response when his digits picked up speed, pressing down your swollen clit and making you squirm in pleasure. your chest raised and fell quickly as you gasped for air.
he smirked as he felt your body respond to his touch, leaning forward to capture your lips in a passionate kiss that you returned instantly. his tongue slipped inside your mouth as his hand slid down your slit, searching for your entrance; he pushed two fingers inside of you, feeling your wetness coat his digits as he began to thrust them in and out.
you whined, involuntarily breaking the contact between your lips, and your face scrunched in pleasure. your hand moved faster as it stroke his cock, your thumb teasing his tip, that was leaking precum.
he groaned, his mouth finding your neck. his free hand slid up to cup your breast, massaging it gently as he continued to finger fuck you. he was already close to cumming, all the new sensations overwhelming him, but he wanted to make it last as long as possible.
"enzo, fuck," you cursed, your pussy tightening around his fingers when you felt the coil in your belly about to snap. "such a good boy... making me feel so good."
you gasped, your pumps becoming sloppier as you approached your orgasm. enzo's breath hitched at your praising words, hips bucking against your hand, unable to contain himself any longer.
"please, love... let me inside you," he begged between breathy moans, his fingers thrusting in and out of you harder.
"how do you want me, baby?" you asked in a whisper, your lips brushing his as you spoke.
enzo nipped at his lower lip, he didn't even have to think his answer. "i want you to ride me," he muttered as he looked into your eyes, his own glazed with lust.
you gasped when he withdrew his fingers from your pussy, a smirk tugging at your lips as you said, "whatever you want, baby."
you released his cock from your grasp to climb onto his lap. enzo's breath caught in his throat when you straddled him, the sight of your wet pussy just inches from his cock making him shudder with anticipation; he almost came on the spot. his hands found purchase on your hips, pulling you closer to him.
you grabbed his cock and placed the tip against your entrance, slowly lowering yourself onto it. you couldn't help but moan as you took his big cock inside you. once he was fully seated within your pussy, you stood still for a moment to get used to the new intrusion.
"how does that feel, my pretty boy?" you asked, leaning in to nuzzle his neck affectionately.
he groaned, his hands moving to cup your ass as he began to instinctively thrust up into you. it felt so perfect, so right, like every inch of him belonged inside you.
"it feels so good," he whispered in your ear, his breathing ragged.
"yeah... it does," you agreed, starting to ride him slowly at first; his cock reached all the right spots inside you so easily. "it's like your dick was fucking made for me, enzo," you moan, your breathing growing uneven.
he shuddered as he bucked up into you, his fingers digging into your ass so hard that you were sure he would leave bruises. you were so fucking tight, and he was so hard, the friction almost too much for him to handle.
you smirked as you saw him so helpless underneath your body while you rode him. you reached to tug at his hair, tilting his head back to suck at his neck, leaving some hickeys, which made him moan.
"you like being deep inside my tight pussy, enzo?" you teased him.
your boobs bounced as you jumped on his cock; that sight only adding to his pleasure. you placed your hands on his chest to support yourself, seeing his eyes roll back in his head as he felt you tighten around him; he thrust up into you, hitting that perfect spot again and again.
"yeah... so fucking much," he answered, panting heavily.
"such a naughty boy..." you cooed, a smug grin tugging at the corners of your lips. "but i love it."
you looked closely at him; he was completely flustered, cheeks flushed and hair sticking to his sweaty forehead.
"you look so fucking pretty underneath me, enzo," you complimented him
he groaned, sliding one hand down to rub against your clit roughly, the other one still holding onto your ass.
"don't stop, please." he breathed out, his hips lifting up to meet every downward thrust of yours.
"you close, pretty boy?" you asked him, watching his face attentively as he nodded in response. "you gonna be a good boy and hold it in for me, yeah?" you ordered with a soft voice.
he whimpered, biting his lip harshly. his cock throbbed inside you, aching for release, but his thumb did not stop rubbing circles on your clit; the sensation of his dick pounding into you together with the stimulation on your clit making you weak on the knees.
"yes... I'll be good for you."
"that's my boy," you praised him, struggling to keep up the pace while riding him since your legs had started shaking from the pleasure. "you gonna make me cum, baby." you breathed out, moaning loudly.
you hand had a conscience of its own and moved up to grasp at his neck, applying light pressure on it. enzo's eyes fluttered shut at the sensation, your grip limiting his air flow very slightly, but enough to make it pleasurable.
"oh fuck! i'm cumming," he moaned, gritting his teeth.
"hold it," you commanded, your voice harder that time. "you won't cum until i do."
he moaned in frustration, shaking his head as his hips jerked up into you. "please... i can't."
"just a minute, baby, i'm almost there," you promised, whimpering while your pussy started clenching around his cock as your orgasm built up.
you kept riding him until you finally fell over the edge, letting out a long string of soft moans and whimpers while your whole body shook. you leaned into his body, your hands gripping at his skin as pleasure washed over you.
"oh gods, enzo," you moaned, "you can cum now, baby."
as soon as you gave him permission, he came with a loud whimper, almost a cry, shooting his thick cum inside you in long spurts, your pussy milking his cock as both of your rode out your highs, holding onto each other tightly.
he panted, leaning his forehead against yours, his heartbeat slowing down as he tried to catch his breath.
"that was amazing."
"pretty good for a first time, huh?" you chuckled, out of breath too, while caressing his back and shoulders; your bodies were completely pressed together.
"fuck yeah... let's do it again," he laughed, grabbing your hips to push you onto the mattress; your body bounced slightly.
"enzo!" you giggled, but your playful laugh soon turned into a moan when your best friend buried his head between your legs.
you had definitely created a monster... you weren't complaining, though.

warnings ; smut , oral sex , cunnilingus , praise , teasing , begging .
authors note ; kane . i see you . anyway i love nort SO much he's literally my pookie ... i knew i was gonna have a fun ass time writing this . i scan the entire fucking earth for norton things all the time BUT CAN'T FIND ANYTHING so I'm glad to produce for y'all ... anyway GO READ SHOO SHOO !! <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✦ There's so much things I can think of for this man it's actually wild.
✦ I wouldn't say Nortons's too kinky.. but there are some things that drive him insane.
✦ A good example of that is hearing you beg. Hearing your pretty, breathless moans and cries of his name while he edges the life out of you just gets him not going, but revving.
✦ He also likes when you give him praise while he pleases you. Every time you tell him how good he feels while he's fucking you, you can feel his grip tighten and his dick twitch inside of you a little. <3
✦ Nort is so talkative. He doesn't shut up.
✦ He's always teasing you about how messy you get for him, how you're so eager to take all of his seed like a common whore.. moments later he turns into a moaning mess and gives you endless praise while stuffing his cock in you.
✦ It's almost like he's talking just to talk. He doesn't know what the fuck he's saying himself - he's too horny to make sense of his words.
✦ Norton. LOVES. Giving. Head.
✦ Definitely got a tongue piercing for that reason.
✦ He's so sloppy and fast, there's always a sticky mess all over your thighs and his face when he's done with you.
✦ He doesn't even do it as just prep anymore - it's a hobby at this point. Horny but busy? He'll give you head. Upset from a lost match? He'll give you head to calm down. Tired but horny? He'll let you sit on his face. He does it because it's fun. Norton also likes it when you suffocate him with your thighs while he does.. <3
✦ Nort likes you giving him head just as much, actually. Watching you choke on him while looking up at him with teary doe eyes has the power to make him nut on the spot - he has to hold himself back.
✦ His favorite position is Leap Frog. Debate me. You can't, I'm right.
✦ Norton loves to hold onto you while he fucks you into the mattress, your back arched and hips raised for him to grab onto. It drives him absolutely mad; I swear to you.
✦ He's an ass guy. A BIG ass guy. He'll smack your ass with no shame and pretend he did absolutely nothing wrong.
✦ He's unintentionally rough - he always apologizes afterwards, but he has yet to know that you enjoy it.
✦ Norton doesn't want to hurt you, is all. No one has really cared for him since you, and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he made you leave him, too.
✦ Because of this, he loves when you say you need him. He'll make you repeat it until you cum, enjoying the feeling of being loved and needed by someone for the first time in a while.

it seemed a lot of people liked the brother-in-law merle headcanons and a couple of people like the idea of uncle merle, so... let's talk about how you and daryl make merle an uncle :)
─•~❉᯽❉~•──•~❉᯽❉~•──•~❉᯽❉~•─
• you get pregnant not long after the group settles in alexandria
• merle keeps his distance from you while you're pregnant
• your hormones are all over the place, you go from laughing to crying at the drop of a dime, and any time he opens his mouth around you, he's always saying the wrong thing
• daryl has to play mediator so that you don't kill him, even though sometimes daryl considers doing it himself
• like when merle mentioned how big you were getting during your second trimester... *sigh*
• you cried
• daryl snapped
• it was... not a good day
• so he stays away for the most part, asking daryl when he wants to know how you're doing. he occasionally brings you some snacks that he must have stolen from the pantry, but you're always too hungry to care about how he got them
• first time merle actually calls you his sister out loud is after you've given birth and he holds his niece for the first time
• "atta girl, baby sister. you did real good."
• he is BEAMIIIINNGGG
• his eyes are just a little wet because the air is dry, that's all...
• he had wanted a nephew so bad, but the second he sees her, his heart grows three times it's size
• he was convinced that dixons could only make boys, but here he is holding a little dixon girl, daryl's babygirl, and she's the most precious thing he's ever seen
• constant jokes about needing a paternity test
• "i'm just saying, that nose is lookin' more like mine than yours, maybe your girl slipped into the wrong bed one night-" "shut the hell up, merle"
• merle always gives you a little wink to show he's just being an ass and not actually accusing you of such a thing
• which daryl knows. it doesn't annoy him any less, though
• never allowed to babysit EVERRRR. if your daughter isn't with aunt carol or aunt maggie, then she's at the grimes house. merle always has choice words about it
• okay, well... he babysits a couple times. and your daughter was returned back each time covered in dirt. one time merle carries her up to the door with wet pant legs pulled up to her knees and bits of leaves still strewn in her hair
• "oh... you had a fun time with uncle merle, huh?" "damn right she did, mamas. taught 'er how to catch frogs. babydoll, tell yer mama what a frog says!" "bib-bit!" "she's learnin'."
• saying the name merle is too complicated for your daughter's limited articulation, so she just calls him 'unca' while she's learning to talk.
• when your daughter DOES start to articulate...
• "son of a bitch!" "bitch!" "ha! that was good! wait- nah, nah, don't say that- aw, shit..." "shit!" "no!"
• he refuses to own up to it
• "merle! why's my daughter cursin' like a fuckin' sailor?" "well, darleena, sounds to me like she's gettin' it from you!"
• he's the favorite uncle (after aaron - your daughter adores aaron)
• rick's lowkey offended by it and tries to subtly bribe your daughter into saying she likes him more
• "uncle dick!"
• ...
• "... are you kiddin' me?" "don't know where she learned that from. must be a good judge'a character."
little bonus that doesn't have to do with uncle merle: it's really up to you, but i like to think that you and daryl would have agreed to name your daughter beth 🥺 you would have suggested the name, knowing that part of daryl never really healed after her death, and he would freeze. forgets how to breathe for a second as the memories wash over him. and then he would blink really fast as he feels his eyes start to water and he'd give you that soft little nod he does when he's trying not to cry. PLEASE- 😭

ROUND FOUR
ROCK LEE vs HATAKE KAKASHI
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reasons for submission under the cut
Lee
ROCK LEE VS GAARA
kind as can be; willing to jump to action to help his fellow comrades even after going through a life-threatening, major surgery
practical and fashion-forward with his bright green onesie. Function over form, and is prepared at all times by carrying around a spare onesie he will give without question to anyone - even complete strangers
has a surprising edge to him at the beginning of the series; he was ready to severely maim anybody that he saw as a genius
more dedicated than anyone. Was forced to face his own mortality and make a life-or-death decision in the name of his dream, after a literal crushing defeat, and he chose to fight for it. Inspiring
embodies the ideals of original series Naruto. True underdog, had nothing going for him, came from nothing with no legacy or powers, was so disadvantaged that he physically could not meet the bare minimum abilities of his peers. But he worked harder than everyone else and proved that he can be a great shinobi despite all the adversity he faced
Sasuke had to copy Lee’s moves with his Sharingan to succeed during Chuunin exams
cute as a button. Come on.
his fans are dedicated and make amazing work, fanart and fanfic
Kishimoto said he was his favorite character to draw. Boom. Favoritism. Love to see it.
pairs well with everyone. Platonic or romantic, Lee has a great dynamic with other characters
his summer outfit from Guardian of the Crescent Moon Kingdom was the best outfit in the movie
gave us Metal Lee! Blessed us with Metal Lee, really
was the character to beat in the early series if you wanted to show how strong you actually are
Gaara vs Rock Lee was one of the most iconic fights in the series, and everyone remembers where they were when they first saw Lee drop his weights. He owned that fight so hard that people forget he lost.
was wronged by the series. He deserves to win as justice.
got [submitter] personally through the worst times; his ability to persevere face of adversity convinced me I could do it too. He wasn’t special and neither was [submitter], but we didn’t need to be. We can make ourselves great. If no one else got me, Rock Lee’s got me
he’s one of the first non-jutsu using ninja so make such a big impact
was the first person to actually harm Gaara
played a huge part in Gaara becoming a better person
he’s one of the only people that can catch up to Sasuke and easily rivals Naruto in Taijutsu
his kind, determined and cheerful attitude is a joy to watch
Rock Lee removing his weights is easily one of the most iconic moments in the entire anime
has helped several submitters feel better by simply thinking about how he wouldn’t want them to think like that
objectively would’ve made a better protagonist based on the themes alone
KICKS MAJOR ASS
wrecked Sasukes shit, I like Sasuke but that was really funny
he looks like a frog. Who doesn’t like frogs
inspired Sasuke
fights are always entertaining, they’re very well choreographed
he forgave Gaara for nearly killing him and nearly ending his dreams; he was never even mad at him
Rock Lee vs Sasuke was iconic
his heart is so full of love
never did anything wrong
had a squirrel befriend him
hard worker
good friend
rises to any challenge
when he does diss people they are the most brutal yet entertaining disses you ever hear
positive, weirdo, energetic, enthusiastic, joyful, chivalrous, motivated, dedicated, sweet
Lee and Neji had something homosexual going on
YOUTH !!!!
Kakashi
relatable as an adult
he is just an overworked guy who was told to watch some kids w LOTS of issues
needs therapy
good presence and guidance in Narutos life
interesting
cares about and is dedicated to his students very much
he is just cool
he is trying his best despite what he has been through in the past
is up for having fun but still knows when to be serious
was a narcissistic shit but grew out of it
has good intentions
sexy
wonderfully complex and well developed character
incredibly resilient and supportive
a sad and deeply broken man
always willing to give his life to protect them and his other precious people
just wanted everything to be ok for once in his life
hated Danzo
his friendship with Gai is adorable
the way he teases Tenzo is fun
he’s known as cool and aloof but in reality he’s a huge dork
Gai would want him to win

Okay, I'm gonna go a little

but hear me out:
If Melinoe is the ghost goddess/chthonic nymph and has the same hair color as Persephone, and following the Melinoe hymn it's said that "whom revered Persephone bore by the mouth of the Kokytos river", I'm betting money on the fact that she was born just after Zagreus, but since Mel was... you know, phantom-like:
Tumblr media
Persephone could not just leave her to be or get back to the Underworld, so I'm theorizing she did the second best thing: leave Melinoe with someone else who was more apt to take care of her, someone like...
Tumblr media
since Melinoe was called a, you know:
Tumblr media
and she also calls the new big mommy Headmistress, so if I'm theorizing right said headmistress could either be Hecate, Circe, or Medea. Circe is a good option because of her island, which is somewhere the teaser seems to be happening at? Or a garden of some kind, or Olympus garden for all that I know because Chronos got himself free and brought war upon the Olympians, and on that note, I would like to point out that this place can very much be Poseidon's domain:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some other things that I would LOVE to point out:
Tumblr media
This guy is a son of Nyx. He's Thanatos and Hypnos' brother.
Tumblr media
Nemesis is also a daughter of Nyx and it's said in canon. Also: LOOK AT THE FUCKING SWORD.
Tumblr media
And Supegiant said in the Steam intro that:
"Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities. Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds."
Can we expect Hera, Hephaestus, and Hestia? Because we already got this gay- I mean, guy.
Tumblr media
Halfway through this, I was like "ok but the headmistress dress like Charon so it would be pretty fucking funny if it was just Nyx with a hat" and this thought does have some credibility bc:
Tumblr media
I MEAN??? LOL I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT I ALSO MIGHT BE RIGHT?? I think two chthonic gods in a trench coat are not too far-fetched for Hades' standards
Tumblr media
(Will she be a boss? Will Chronos be a boss? WILL CHRONOS STOP TIME JUST AS HADES GOT INVISIBLE?)
AND YOU CAN PET THE FROG, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT (its name might be Frino, because it was the name of the file when I got it from Steam).
Tumblr media
And who do you think this red-caped dude is? My friend is betting her money on Odysseus and Jason.
Tumblr media
And I would like to finish this madness with the fact that since Chronos is fucking shit up and Hades is trapped inside a BDSM dungeon like this
Tumblr media
Zagreus is probably doing what he hates most in this whole wide world: the desk job LOL GET FUCKED ZAG
AND GO WATCH THE ANIMATED TRAILER

Part 2- y/n becomes a child
Part 1 Here
She seems to be a big fan of cats. Anything with Hello Kitty on it she wants. Will run up to stray cats trying to pet them no matter how many times they tell her not to. “They could have a disease.” “But they’re so cute!”
Doesn’t fully understand when she says, “I’m looking for my parents. We’re playing hide and seek, I don’t really like playing it. I wanted played sequence. My dad must have helped my mom with her hiding spot because I can usually find her first. Once I find them we’ll go back home to my baby and older brother.”
Hearing this Damian goes to Bruce for answers. He knows of everyone’s upbringing, but he often overlooked y/n in the past. Something about her mentally blocking her parents' death. Bruce only says parents, so it makes him wonder whether or not…It doesn’t matter. He just makes sure that he won’t bring up her parents or try to convince her that Bruce was her father anymore. Or that he and the others were her real brothers.
Dick will bring y/n to the water park, zoo, etc for some bonding time. Trying to dethrone Jason’s spot of being her favorite. When going out this usually results in Damian tagging along. Though surprisingly y/n doesn’t like going out as much, so Dick tries to find another way to connect with her.
It's getting late and while in her pajamas jumps down each step of the stairs. Dick notices the book in her hand and offers to read it to her before bed. Look him straight in his eyes to say no and ask if he knew where Jason was.
He lied by saying that he already left even though he was down in the cave and he’ll just take Jason’s place as bedtime reader. She reluctantly agreed. Everything is fine until the story ends. She looks like she is going to burst into tears and he panics. The story didn’t have a sad ending or anything. It was just a frog and toad book.
Asking what was wrong, y/n looks at him. “They’re gone and they’re never coming back are they?” He doesn’t respond, the look of pity in his eyes was enough for her to start balling her eyes out. Crying for her parents. When he is going to get up to get Bruce she eminently freaks out.
“No! Please don’t leave. I don’t want to be left alone. Don’t leave me alone again!” Dick gets so emotional seeing his little sister desperately begging him to not be all alone. He stays behind and comforts her. Not leaving her side once.
The context of how they unintentionally neglected her when she got older made guilt build up.
After that y/n is more open with Dick and starts to follow him around a bit. Jason raises his eyebrow but doesn’t say anything. Dick would be a better influence than him regardless of how bitter it made him feel.
Tim doesn’t go out of his way to interact with little y/n. Though she does come up to him to share what food she has. She will not leave him alone unless he has some of her snacks. Reminding him of when she was done cooking/baking, she’d force him to take a taste test before anyone else.
She’ll go out into the garden to catch butterflies. Will not take a net no matter how many times it's offered. Damian sits back watching her as she creeps up on butterflies like a cat. Every time she goes up to him and asks if he knew what butterfly it is.
Doesn’t have a clue, but after that, he’ll look up all the different butterflies. Their names and small facts about them for next time. y/n inadvertently made Damian a butterfly wiki.
There will be sudden fits where she wants to paint someone’s nails. Goes up to the first person she’ll see. Place the Hello Kitty nail polish bag on the table and ask them, “What color do you want? Sparkly or no sparkle?” There isn't anyone that can say no.
So everyone in the manor will have painted nails. Bruce is in a business meeting, everyone sees his black-painted nails but doesn’t say a thing. If anyone were to ask he’d hold up a hand to show off and explain that his daughter wanted to paint his nails. He is expressionless the whole time, but if they looked hard enough then they could see the smile in his eyes.
Babs and Dick definitely take a few photos of y/n and send them to each other. It’s not every day that adult y/n allows others to photograph her. Now that she is a child without too many insecurities this allows them to take as many photos as possible.
Speaking of Babs, she’s just like Tim and Bruce. Doesn’t go out of her way to interact with her because she doesn't see the reason to do so. It’s fine after a few days until she starts missing adult y/n. The one who brings up random topics and has late-night texts with.
Wonders if she should inform y/n’s friend and boyfriend about this since they’ve been reaching out a lot. But decided against it. y/n is in a vulnerable state of mind and having even more “strangers” interact with her should just be avoided. Barb tells them that she’s broken her phone and is taking care of her sick auntie who is overseas. She makes up an elaborate lie and now y/n’s friend and boyfriend think she has an Italian auntie named Bianca Bellagamba.
One day Dick gets a drawing that he’s always dreamed of. A crayon drawing of his hero persona that had My #1 hearo! Everyone can see him internally squealing.
Everyone got a similar drawing, but she handed his drawing to him first. So obviously he’s the favorite brother and she clearly put more effort into his drawing.
Only Dick and Damian have thought of sabotaging the progress of returning y/n back to normal a few times. They’d be able to keep her in the manor safe and be able to rewrite their mistakes. Jason has thought of this too once, but he knew that it wasn’t right for y/n if they kept her like this.
The only reason Dick and Damian didn’t do anything as everyone was dead set on getting adult y/n back. Even if they were to sabotage their progress, it would just slow them down.
When y/n is turned back to normal she doesn’t remember anything after she was turned into a child. This breaks Dick’s heart more than it does Damian’s. Dick was making so much progress with y/n and now it's completely erased. Damian took this more as a way to understand and learn more about y/n.
y/n awkwardly thanks them before shuffling out manor. Babs will send the pics of little y/n to her later.
Most of the family’s view of y/n doesn’t change except for Dick and to a lesser extent Jason’s. Dick will see y/n even more as a child now. That one night when she begged to not be left alone again will motivate him to reach out to her. Spend more time together to make up for his absence.
Jason might view her a little more like a child, but he already saw her as one. Though this whole fiasco has made him a bit more protective of y/n. When out, he’ll check on her apartment just to make sure that she’s safe at home. If he finds her out for whatever reason when he’s on patrol then he’ll follow her until she gets back home safely.
Damian knows that little and older y/n aren’t exactly the same. It would be stupid to do so because she could grow out of things and has developed as a person. When he breaks into her apartment for a visit he’ll have a type of Hello Kitty memorabilia. y/n clearly hasn’t grown out of her love for the cat with a bow as the next time he breaks in, he sees that she kept the gift.

i'm ngl depicting thunder's prosthetic as a burden is pretty uncomfortable even if it is something some amputees experience because like. there's a huge stigma around prosthetics already you know? it's like having a parent forcibly strap a child into a wheelchair when they don't need it and having a horrible experience with it and that being your only character in a wheelchair. some full-time wheelchair users do resent their wheelchairs but when that's the only time you're bringing it up at all it feels like you're playing into our society's perception of wheelchairs and mobility aids in general as useless and best and divine punishment at worst. idk do let me know if i'm wording this wrong because i really do love better bones! it's just that this detail is... strange.
I mean, I'm open to feedback if that's not something I should do-- but I do actually have other characters in prosthetics and mobility aids! A lot of them! Thunderstar's actually the only one who ends up rejecting his own, because I also wanted to depict that it's bad to force a device onto someone who does not want one.
Especially in circumstances like Thunder Storm's, where that sort of device would be actively unhelpful for his lifestyle. It might help in open field environments like moorland, but then I got more feedback and realized that it would just make a lot of unwanted noise in a forest (since cats have carpal whiskers to help them figure out where to place their paws). Then I figured it was a good way to show how BB!Clear Sky doesn't actually listen to his son's needs and acts differently when he's not "grateful" enough for his gift.
But he's far and away from the only one with a mobility aid or prosthetic!
I haven't figured out Frog entirely yet, but he's going to be the first cat with a "wheelchair" type device, to set up a long line of cats through the generations improving on it (Probably not much more than a reinforced canvas or durable leather, as this was the age of very early flax processing)
Wildfur's the next in the big advancements, even making the Great Journey in his own and getting a side story based around Littlecloud and Cinderpelt collaborating over this
The device is then improved upon by Jessy for Briarlight, giving her a level of independence and confidence that she needs to finally cut her mom out until she learns how to behave
Deadfoot has a brace for his front paw because the joint is loose (it was based on a friend's carpel tunnel bracelet) which is affectionately referred to as The Bonker; his name is also now an Honor Title (Old name: Hoprunner) for inventing a battle move by distracting with his good paw, and then SLAMMING his other limb down hard on his opponent. It's called "deadfooting."
I think mobility devices are super important, usually massively improve quality of life, and I just enjoy designing them, so the choice to portray Thunder Storm's as negative was a very deliberate one that I did in response to what I thought was a desire in representation. Even the fact it's a hind-leg prosthetic was thought out, since those have a much higher satisfaction rate in humans than hand prosthetics, but in a cat would probably be the opposite.
Still, I'm not missing a limb, so now with all of that context presented, do you still think the same thing? Should I just add even more limb prosthetics to make the ratio of satisfied prosthetic users vs Thunder Storm even steeper?
Sunlit Frost is actually going to have a bite on his good paw go septic (the other side has permanent damage from the fire). I could have that paw get amputated and have Thunderstar "return the favor" for how Sunlit Frost created the prosthetic he rejected by helping him build his own. A pawsthetic, if you will
OR would it be better to just remove the subplot of Thunder Storm grappling with/rejecting a prosthetic that is unfitting for him entirely, and have all prosthetics be 100% treated as positive in the narrative?

Name: Snailspace
Debut: Yo-Kai Watch 3
Wow. A regular, cartoon snail, huh? No frills, nothing? There is no clever concept on display here. I mean, a snail itself is a clever concept! A squishy, vulnerable creature that carries its own armor to retract into? That's awesome! But Yo-Kai Watch 3 did not make this concept. Animals made this concept. This is pretty much nothing but a cartoon snail.
And I love those!!! Yippee!!! You're telling me this monster collecting game lets me befriend a regular cartoon snail and train it to be a STRONG snail? And lets it follow me around town wherever I go? And lets me PLAY as it? Yowza! There must be a catch here... but there isn't!
Perhaps I am just very easy to impress in some regards, but I am very happy that Snailspace is JUST a snail, with no funny business going on. Nothing to detract from it. I can't think of an example of something that would detract. I'm tired. But Snailspace is perfect the way it is, is what I'm saying. ESPECIALLY because it has eyestalks! My favorite feature on a creature!
Tumblr media
I would like to talk about a different collectible snail monster for a moment. Hello Magcargo! You are a wonderful snail monster! A snail made of lava with a rock shell is an extremely awesome concept, and executed well! Magcargo even has big drippy mouth drips, reminiscent of a gastropod's tentacles! But it just doesn't have eyestalks, and to me, that is a very big deal. Magcargo's face looks like a frog's, and I love frogs, we all do, but this is a snail monster! I just always think that an animal-based design should take advantage of the unique features of the animal.
Tumblr media
In fact, I once did this little edit of Magcargo's original sprite to give it eyestalks, and I instantly love it so much more! Eye positioning does so much for a design's overall personality! Eyestalks are really just one of the coolest anatomical features a creature can have, and I don't know why, so often, they will be completely ignored in fictional snail designs, inevitably making the design LESS striking than it would otherwise be. I know not all snails in real life have eyestalks, of course, but they are really such an iconic feature, absolutely perfect for exaggerating in a design.
Tumblr media
Maybe it's not fair to spend so much of Snailspace's post talking about a different, much more known snail monster. There is stuff to love about Snailspace itself! I love its sleepy eyelids, I love its weird tall mouth, I love its color scheme! I guess it's not just ANY cartoon snail. You know... maybe there's not a such thing as just a cartoon snail. Whether intentional or not, any given person drawing a snail will put their own spin on it, however subtle. And isn't that wonderful? No one draws a snail quite like you do!
Tumblr media
If you are not familiar with Yo-Kai Watch, I would like to delight you with some Funny Facts. Firstly, Yo-Kai are organized into "tribes" that each tend to excel in certain battle attributes. Snailspace is a member of my favorite tribe, which is Slippery! A whole official category of slimy and/or wiggly creatures! Snailspace is right at home with snakes, fish, frogs, bananas, and even a bungee jumping teapot!
Snailspace is also classified as a 'Merican Yo-Kai. The third game features the protagonist moving from Japan to America, and meeting American Yo-Kai! The localization, however, had previously tried to convince he had been in America the whole time. How did they get around this? Instead of moving overseas to the USA, he moves further south to a different region, called BBQ! It is so stupid. I love it.
'Merican Yo-Kai are a weird category. Sometimes they're based on American stereotypes, but often it feels kind of like a meaningless title. I don't know why a Snail is specifically an American concept. I mean, I have certainly encountered many snails in America! I guess they're not wrong! But not every 'Merican Yo-Kai can be as iconic for the role as, for example, a baseball-playing chicken nugget.
Anyway, Snailspace is an excellent snail! It does not take much for a snail to make me smile! I hope this is true for you, too! Have you looked at a snail lately? Check under your local rocks in the dirt and maybe you just might find a marvelous mollusk to behold!

Sea of Stars: The best game you played as a child that released in 2023
Tumblr media
When I was in middle school, I have vivid memories of playing Chrono Trigger. I rented it from my local video store, a poor man's family video. It even had a tanning bed, as was the style at the time. I sat in front of my grandmother's mid-size CRT television and was amazed at just about everything I saw. The beautiful pixel art, the various set pieces, the story, the music. Everything. My inner monologue for about a month after experiencing Chrono Trigger for the first time was using "thees" and "thous" a lot like Frog did in that localization. He was the best character so the way he spoke was the best way to speak. Simple as that.
Often times games try to ape Chrono Trigger because my experience with it is hardly a unique one. Most of the time, I feel these games miss the mark or fall short of it. They tease you with the "Chrono Trigger" but it more hits on some highlights that Chrono Trigger had instead of making an actual good game that can stand on its own merits. The example that comes most prominently to mind is "I Am Setsuna," a game I once wrote about on this blog. It's a game that mindlessly tries to take what makes Chrono Trigger a good game and slaps it onto something else. A soulless product developed by a company with a soulless name (Tokyo RPG Factory.)
My brother has been pestering me to play Sea of Stars for months now. Yet the specter of products like "I Am Setsuna" prevented me from making the jump for a long time. Yes, aesthetically, it played the part...but if I were to go back in time and rent this game from the fake Hollywood Video and play this on the mid-size CRT at my grandmother's house, would it capture my imagination? Would it stand on its own?
Yes.
Tumblr media
On the surface, Sea of Stars looks like it's trying to be Chrono Trigger. They have the combo attacks, they have the wacky cast of characters from a variety of different backgrounds, the overworld and spritework looks pretty close and the music...well, the music can often feel like it was lifted straight from that very SNES game. But there's more to it than that. Quite literally. Sea of Stars doesn't just try to mimic the style of one beloved RPG, it lifts from several and becomes something of a Jack of all retro turn based trades.
The combat uses timed hits like Super Mario RPG - a system that's extremely easy to wrap your mind around but is extremely adept at keeping the player's attention. You can't just take your mind off of the game once you hit 'attack.' It also has the ability to change your characters in combat, which gives the game something of a Final Fantasy X (it's odd that a 20+ year old game is the 'newest' thing mentioned here) feeling. Sometimes a spot will call for a poison user, sometimes it will call for your warrior cook, sometimes it will call for your moon user. It's simple, but it makes each encounter feel unique and engaging. It also uses something akin to a limit break system, as seen in various Final Fantasy titles. Everybody gets an elaborate ultimate attack. When is the right time to use it? Even more variables tossed into a fairly easy-to-use system.
It's not just in the gameplay either. One of the big mistakes video game companies make when making 'new' retro games is that they cram too much story into the game. Don't get me wrong, stuff like Final Fantasy IV, Lunar Silver Star Story and Chrono Trigger have plenty of story, but go back and play those games and then go play Final Fantasy VII. The amount of dialogue and dedication to storytelling is next level compared to what you get in SNES games. Older RPGs have a smattering of world building and story but that is bolstered by the gameplay. Sea of Stars is similar in this regard. It does not have 'too much' story, it has about as much as you would see in an SNES RPG. It leaves something to the imagination. Not every last detail of the world is explained, you're left with a sense of wonder.
Tumblr media
When I first heard the term 'solstice warrior,' I grimaced. It sounded so lame, like something out of a kid's cartoon. And yet, it is tackled with sincerity. They don't go out of their way to tell you every aspect of what goes into making these warriors, they keep things very simple and straight forward. It just feels authentic. By the end of the game I wanted to learn more about this world and these characters, I did not feel like everything had been spelled out in game and there was something left to discover. Even a post-game twist felt like something a kid would tell you at school and you'd just roll your eyes and say 'yeah fucking right Ned, I'm sure collecting all 60 conch shells will do that.'
My discovery with this game is that in order to create a 'love letter' to a genre, you need to focus on more than one game. It needs to just focus on lots of things. I am Setsuna feels like a shallow clone of Chrono Trigger. Sea of Stars feels like a game that saw great elements from a lot of other great games and came to its own conclusions by throwing those things together. I fully believe a middle school aged Derek would have been glued to his Grandma's CRT for a month straight playing this game. It's the highest compliment that I can pay this game. It's not better than Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI or Earthbound. But it still stands on its own and it is fantastic.

~ Little Protector ~
cg!Eddie Munson x (gn)little!reader
summary: You take care of your daddy after he comes homes from being a hero
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eddie stumbled through the door with only one thing on his mind. His angel. The only reason he even did all this crazy stuff in the first place. Everything is for you. Where are you? Normally when you spend the night at Eddie's, if he’s not there for bedtime, you stay up - waiting. You aren’t in front of the small, square tv in the living room, where you usually are, watching cartoons. You aren’t in the in the kitchen either, he’s still on high alert and not being able to find you is sending him into a frenzy,
“Angel! Where are you?! I'm back!”
He’s running to his room at this point, not even bothering to check the bathroom or if his uncle is even there. When the bedroom door flies open he swears everything froze for a second. There you were propped up on his pillows, walkie in one hand and your stuffy in another. You have your favorite paci he made for you hanging out of your mouth and all the lights are on. Your coloring books are still laid out on his floor, you really tried to stay up. He carefully makes his way over to you, leaning down to kiss your forehead, pausing for a second to breathe in the smell of your shampoo. He lifts you into a more comfortable position and you stir in his arms, twisting your body to rub your face on his chest, through blurry, slightly crusty you eyes you squint at him,
“Dada?”
“Hi angel, shhh it’s ok go back to sleep.”
He tries to set you down but all you do is whine and tighten your arms around him. He shifts you so your legs are wrapped around his waist and you both just sit there holding each other, squeezing tighter ever so often. Your whole body is shaking, he can feel it. He knows you were scared, you didn’t want to stay behind but if anything happened to you, Eddie wouldn’t be able to live with himself. After a moment his own shoulder start to shake,
“Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I- I just didn’t want - you have to understand I did this to keep you safe. Whatever happened to Chrissy, cannot - will not happen to you. I had to make sure you would be safe here, angel. I’m so sorry I scared you,”
He was crying now, he’s supposed to be the one to comfort you, keep you safe and happy. And here he was crying to you and you were the one who was scared for your daddy. He feels like a joke, a horrid caregiver. Thinking you’d be better off with someone else as your daddy, but before he can even finish the thought, you are up and off his lap running to the corner of his room, for a second he’s worried he said something wrong, that you're running from him, he almost loses it. Until you grab his stuffed frog (named Phineas), your sippy filled with cold water, a few story books and your blankey. With your little arms full, you toddle over to his bed and set down the loot. Quickly flashing him a big smile and turing the big lights off and your little night light on,
“Here dada le me help chu,” you spoke from around you paci. You wrap your little blankey around him the best you can and set Phineas in his arms. You reach to hand him your sippy, which he great fully takes a sip from after kissing up your arms to tickle you. You giggle and squeal, just what he wanted, and set down the stories in front of him,
“Which story do you wan”
You were absolutely beaming, you were so excited to help daddy feel better like he does for you. And your daddy was never more sure that he'd die for you, you are such an amazing baby. So kind and caring, he doesn’t know what he did to deserve you. No one has ever made eddie feel so loved and cared for,
“You pick my angel, I know you’ll pick a good one”
You think for a moment before you got it, you jump up to run grab a new one your daddy wrote for you,
“Dis one!” you shouted running in, it’s a very recently written and very new saga of “The Adventures of Sir Edward the Noble Knight and His Precious Prince/ss (name that’s similar to yours)” my canon is that Eddie’s real name is Edmund btw this specific edition is about Sir Edward rescuing the royal cutie pie from monster under their bed. You plop next to him, but Eddie slips you over onto his lap and under the soft blanket. Before you start he gives you a small kiss to your nose and forehead,
“Once upon a time-“
You started, doing all the voices of the different characters, just like dada does. Making Eddie laugh as you attempted to sound like him, your normally sweet little baby voice deepened and distorted for comedic effect. Every now and then pausing to giggle at something that happens in the story or asking your daddy to help with big words. By the time you're nearing the end Eddie can feel your body start to sag and your voice start to drift off. He gently lays himself down almost flat and tries to coerce the book from your hands,
“Not done yet, Sir Edward still has to tuck in the prince/ss!” you lightly argued, you were trying to comfort him. What is he doing?
“Alright alright let’s finish, I'm sorry baby cakes. You are doing great!” you smile at that and finish up the story getting to your favorite part,
“And then Sir Edward laid the pretty prince/ss in their soft, fluffy bed. Tucked them into a little blankey burrito and placed a kiss on their forehead. The end!”
You closed the notebook and twisted around in eddie’s lap, wrapping your arms around his neck,
“You're brave, jus like him dada. Make me feel safe, you my hero,” you told him with a slight wobble to your lip. If he didn’t feel his heart shattering before, it was now. You are really the best baby ever, he loves you so much. Before he can say anything back you’re speaking again,
“an’ I always keep you safe, fight off da bad guys wif you,” your words started to slur more as you slipped deeper, “I wuv you dada.” No matter how hard you fought it, sleep was taking over. With watery eyes, Eddie squeezed you so hard he had to stop himself, in fear of breaking you. He carefully laid you down, slipped your paci into your mouth and tucked you into him. no matter what was going on with him, he loved to take care of you too.
“I love you my sweet angel, so so much”
Tumblr media
A/N: ok so this was my first time writing anything more than headcanons, and even that i’m new to
so be nice please 🫠
Also the scene when they are comforting him with a story is inspired by a fic on here that I read about little reader comforting Bucky Barnes after a nightmare. I will tag it if i can find it!!
Also I'm trying really hard to make this as inclusive as possible so if you see anything too descriptive, let me know!!! I write the reader as small/little to help with regressing, it’s not a description of the reader's body!!!

May I request a warrior name for our scrimblo son Spencer???
He's named after the guy from Criminal Minds, but the fun part is he's actually really stupid. This dumb cat likes to lay on me and drool while he naps, despite the fact I am allergic to him. He also HATES other people, especially children, and has been known to fart at people when they make him mad (I am NOT kidding).
He also has brought multiple animals into the house [two chipmunks, a snake, three mice, a mole, a wren, the neighbor's cockatiel, several frogs, a rat, and half of a raven].
He has also been seen snuggling with the neighbor's cat (A grey tabby tomcat named Bits), and sharing his catches with him. They are gay.
Spencer will only sleep in 4 places:
1. On my chest/lap
2. On a box
3. Beside Bits (on the sidewalk/driveway)
4. The back of one specific chair
((Side note, I love my fluffy son, I slander him lovingly))
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
With a battle tactic like that he belongs in ThunderClan. Also, ravens are fuckin big, the only thing more impressive/horrible than bringing home a raven is what happened to tear it in half. His name is Mudface and he supports gay wrongs

Team Stan with a bunny s/o🐇🐇🥕🤍
Warnings: None
Gender: Neutral
Tumblr media
💙💚 The Main Four ❤️🧡
Tumblr media
The first time they met was when they were walking home from school and they saw you eating your lunch on the sidewalk.
Cartman immediately lunged at you thinking that you were a real bunny that can be feasted on, but you noticed and evaded his pursuit before he could land a hand on you.
"H-hey! what was the big idea for?!"
"Wait...bunnies can talk?"
Your cheeks flushed up in 2nd embarrassment.
"Of course I can talk! I was just eating my lunch only for some tubby to try and attack me, Hmmph!" The boys immediately laughed at what you just called Cartman.
"Ay! I ain't no tubby I'm big boned!"
So yeah, it was kind of a bad impression when meeting you for the first time. But that didn't stop them from trying to get to know you better.
They love how you hide your face with your hands and your ears curling up to form a circle when your embarrassed. It's so cute!🥰
When you first showed them your home, they thought you lived in a burrow or something. But you lived in a house just like them except yours was bigger than everyone else's in the neighborhood. But it wasn't big like Token's.
They absolutely love the homemade food your mom makes! they also thought that you were just going to have them eat plain carrots, but it looks like they were wrong.
One secret thing is that they are obsessed with your little fluffy tail, they just like things that are really soft and cuddly 💖💖💖
So you often might catch them playing with your tail, but you don't really mind.
What shocks them is that you go to school showing out your bunny features and not caring If people are staring at you.
That might lead to people foaming over you-
Every time somebody comes up to go talk to you, the boys always give them a death glare signaling for the person to go away, especially if it's Pip.
"Uhm..hey (Name)! I was wondering If-"
"Fuck off you Frenchie little frog! this is our bunny right here! go get your own!"
"Right...alright then"
"God damn I hate that kid..."
"That's a little extreme don't you guys think? do you have something against him?"
"Eh, just stay away from him he's a Melvin"
At school? they're overprotective of you! good luck dealing with that💙💚❤️🧡🐇🐇🐇💖💖💖

Things i thought as a baby stay:
Bang chan:
i thought he was a old man. I didn't expect him to be foive. Sorry this was neccesary.
At first i wasn't able to see his beauty but the longer i looked at him the more i fell in love. And here i am. Head over heals for this man.
I thought he would be a good dad and i still think this is true.
I thought he was like the biggest music Genius in our Generation. I was so surprised as i found out he writes all this mega songs.
2. Lee know:
i was scared by his laugh. But at the same time i wanted to hear it all the time.
Thought he looked like a guini pick.
I thought he is quite the polite guy. I really saw him as an big gentleman.
I thought that he was strange and i didn't like him that much at the beginning because he seemed a little cold. But wrong. He is so heart warming.
3. Changbin:
the "i am groot" thing changed my whole sight of him... i thought he is very scary after i saw the Video. I was a little bit traumatised. I don't even know why.
I was a little less scared as i found out that he and Wooyoung from ateez are friends.
I thought he really got an glow up. With al this muscles he looks very good. It suits him. And usually i don't really like guys with so much muscles.
I thought that he treated all his member so nice. He is so caring and i really hoped, that he gets all this love back.
4. Hyunjin:
his visuals took me off guard. I thought, that he might be the most beautiful person on earth. I watched the stray kids family video and fell even more for him. Like did you guys saw this?!
I thought if you gossip about something Hyunjin would be the first person to be like "honey spill the tea"
i thought Hyunjin would be the baby-girl every group has (something like the secret makne) but nope.
Some times i thought that he is a bit cold. But what the fuck, why did i think this??
5. Han:
I thought he looked like a frog. Sorry quokka you have to turn into a frog because i thought this!
I thought he was the makne. Cause so many members treated him and felix like their liddle babys.
Just because. I don't know why. Thought he looked like an exelent cook.
I thought that he must have manny siblings because off the way he talked to the other members. Like they are all his family. And he was never used to something else.
6. Felix:
I thought he would probably be a good modle. Turns out he is... his modle walk stabbed me.
I thought that he was so beautiful. His visuals killed me at first sight.
And like every stay i thought that his voice is so crazy like what the duck, why does he sound like an demon and looks like an angle the same time.
Sorry for this but i thought he was a little over raited. Because literally every stay had felix as their bias (also me) and i was scared that the other members don't get enough love.
7. Seungmin:
I thought he looked like an beluga whale. Sorry but this was legitt how i memorised him. I don't even know how i came up with this.
I thought he would be a good friend, because... just look at him.
I thought that he was a bit rude because he and some other members used to insult each other. Like i don't know what this is sorry.
I thought he would be a good police officer. Without context just take this.
8. I.n.
I thought he looked like an meanie. Sorry but i really imagined him as an "bullie"
I thought that he is very confident. I just saw him and thought "oh this guy must be very confident bro" i don't know why.
I thought that he would be a class clown. Just teas you all day, be quiet but when he sais something the whole class/group laughs.
I was really confused by I.n. because why did they give him THIS stage name?
ps. i love you

Quiet love 2/?
For this chapter I highly recommend to listen Ariana's song - we can't be friends - to get in the mood
Tumblr media
And yet, Justin wasn't the type to make a move. So, you were screwed up.
"I had a great night" you said, heading toward your room. "What are you plans tomorrow?"
"I'm gonna go golfing with the guys"
You nodded.
"Have fun"
"We can have dinner here" he added.
"Yeah, sounds good"
And the sudden thought caught off guard. Did his friends knew about you? Tate knew because it was obvious. But people here in LA knew?
"Justin, your friends know about me?" you asked, regretting it at the moment.
He frowned, confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Your friends in L.A, not in Eugene"
"I don't think they care or why they should know?"
"Because it makes me feel unwelcome. The fact the you prefer to hide our friendship"
"That's not true" he argued "I don't want nosey people in my life, our friendship is something I treasure"
"And what's wrong with people knowing about me?"
"I want privacy in my life"
"I'm not going to spill anything"
"It's not about that!" he raised his voice, frustrated. You flinched and he ran his hand through his hair with exasperation. "The fanatics are crazy. And I don't want people stalking you, telling you insults and threatening you when things aren't pretty during the season"
You stayed in silence. You were arguing before bed again. How funny.
"I'm not talking about the fans, I'm talking about your teammates, people you know here in L.A"
He gulped, and crossed his arms against his wide chest.
"Mmm it's not common to present a friend" he said, suddenly shy "Only girlfriends and wives"
"Only...oh" you felt dumb, of course you wanted a space reserved for another person.
You let out a sigh. You were so stupid.
So, so stupid.
"Well, that's clarifying" you said, trying not to cry.
Really? Crying because your friend is your friend and gives you friend treatment? Then why...why he does those things that confuse your brain? Why he treats you so nice, invite you dinner and let you stay all the time you want? Made you feel wanted and loved?
You felt your eyes burn and blinked to keep the tears away.
"Are you ok?" he said, worried getting closer to you. You gave a step back, and he looked hurt.
"Yeah, it's...summer allergies I think"
"You don't have allergies"
"Mmm L.A weather is intense" you changed the topic. You looked at your room's door and bite your lip "I'm tired, see you tomorrow"
"Wait..." he call you but you were closing the door already.
Needless to say you couldn't sleep so much that night.
You couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if you tell him the truth. You dreamed about him a lot. You dreamed about his affections changing its course and realizing it has been you the whole time. You wanted to be his special person because he was yours. He was yours since childhood. He was yours since the gave you a Star Wars band-aid when you scraped your knee playing or when you searched for frogs during your walks in Oregon. He was yours during the Christmas exchange, and the family meetings. And what would you do with all your affection if he said no?
The thought made you cry harder.
You were bleeding your love at 3 am.
The next day, you avoided him like a plague. Yes, it was childish and immature but you couldn't look him in the eye without feeling a turmoil of emotions inside you, good and bad. If you dare to look at him you would started crying or threw him a shoe. You went straight to work, and since you seemed in distress you co-worker, Lydia asked you what's up.
You tell the story, his name was omitted in purpose. All the emotions, his behavior, your confusion, your friendship. At the end of your story, she wasn't happy.
"I'm sorry, but I think you should put your big girl pants and ask him" she said, sounding rational "it's not healthy for you staying in a situation like that. Pretty cool of him letting you stay, but if it's something bothering you, you should talk to him. The worse thing that can happened it's knowing you can't prolonged that situation anymore"
"How am I suppose to do that?"
"Hey, I think I catch feelings for you but we really haven't spoke about it so tell what do you feel so I can make decisions "
"I'm not brave like that " you regretted.
"You must, baby. You are dying in a "what if"
"But he is my friend, I don't want to lose him" it was true, you had so much story.
"It's better for you. You deserved to be loved by someone without limitations"
You were crying at that point, feeling pathetic.
"If he says no, where am I going to stay?"
"I have a friend who is looking for a roommate, the apartment it's closer to work, so you don't need a car" she said, compassionate about you.
"Can you send me the number?" you cried.
"Yeah"
When you arrived at the house he was in the kitchen which surprise you because you purposely took the longer route. He should be sleeping by now. WHY HE WASN'T SLEEPING?
You said the driest "hi" and went to your room. You felt his stare burning your skin. Your heart beating so fast you were scared of having a heart attack.
You changed your clothes for something more comfy, you grabbed a book and sat on your bed to start reading. You were two chapters in when Justin knocked your door.
"Come in"
He appeared, in grey pants and a blue shirt.
"If you are hungry there tacos and soup" he said "Keenan's wife made it"
"Thank you" you said, still reading your book. Words didn't make sense but it was better than look at him because it was painful. He leaned at the door.
"Can we talk?" he asked. You stomach twisted.
You feelings were to intense after the talk with Lydia, but what she said it was true. You were dying of uncertainty.
"About what?"
"About...us" he replied.
You gulped, and it was like passing a stone through your throat.
"Okay"
He moved again, somehow staying in the same position. He put his hands in his pockets then decided it was better to cross his arms. You waited patiently.
"Are you mad at me?" you sighed.
"No, Justin" your voice was soft but firm. Good.
"Yesterday you were mad" he stated, you didn't blink. "What did I do?"
"Nothing" you felt like someone was cutting through your chest to get your heart out. "I'm more annoyed with myself than with you"
"Why?"
Why it was so difficult to talk about it?
"I misinterpreted our situation" you voice trembled and you cursed at yourself for being so weak around this man.
His face was blank. The same face he puts when a journalist ask a stupid question.
"How so?"
Oh, dear. If you could only talk without fucking crying. It was happening, wasn't it? Revealing your feelings and potentially losing a friend.
You were so scared.
You deserve a love without limitations.
"Gosh, Justin. I came here, you lend me your car, you bought me pickles, you treat me like more than a friend and then you say you want me to stay..." saying it out loud made you feel worse. It was nothing, it was kindness. It was friendship, wasn't it? "I... I know we haven't seen each other in years so I thought...I thought that you may feel something for me as I feel for you"
His throat bubbled. His gaze was on the floor.
Of course, how could you forgot? He was a man.
"I don't know what to say" he started. "You know, my work, my life is very different from yours"
What the actual fuck? What was he trying to say? Was a Mr Darcy type of proposal?
"Justin tell me the truth, do you like me back? Yes or no?" You asked, getting angry. You didn't deserved such disrespect. If he didn't like you back, well you would deal the heartbreak but prolonging these feelings until the end of season and beyond was madness.
"I'm not sure" he replied, you almost didn't hear him.
But it was all you needed to know. You exhaled deeply, feeling all the emotions at once. Luckily your face remain blank, you grabbed the sheet with such force your knuckles turned white.
"I guess... that's ok" you looked at your watch only to see it wasn't night yet. "Well, I'm going to continue with my original plans" you opened your book again trying to play it cool not reading a damn word "If you need something send a message"
"What do you mean?"
You raised your eyebrows in confusion.
"By original plans?" he prompted.
"Moving out, I mean" you replied not glancing once. You were acting petty, but he just said he didn't like you back. Of course you were ashamed, angry and desesperately in love.
"Oh, alright" he looked around, not even giving you a glance.
His short answer was like a stab in your heart. Sometimes he was so cruel, but he had the right to feel what he was feeling too. You could not force him to like you and that was even worse. Your eyes were burning, tears blurring your vision.
"Good night" he had the audacity to say before leaving.
And when he closed the door, was like closing all the posibilities you had to be something for him. Throwing years of friendship only because you misread him.
And you felt so so stupid. Of course you were only his friend. How could you even think to be more than a friend? He was Justin Herbert, young, rich, athletic. He had all the options in the world, why he would settle for you?
You started crying, leaving all those emotions out.
Just another sleepless night.

Does this frog make you feel calm?! Or perhaps like you have been mildly poisoned with henbane?
Please enjoy these extra notes regarding things that appear in my Shameless Big Bang fic Last Night at the Verona Grand Hotel, in order of appearance. Also now listed in the work endnotes on AO3 (but without the pictures).
This post contains lots of spoilers for the fic.
The train that Mickey takes from Chicago to Los Angeles is an Amtrak route called the Southwest Chief.
Tumblr media
Mickey reads Treasure Island as a reference to Loftec’s fic Take this waltz.
The green popsicle is Melona.
I went for fictionalized geography around where exactly the hotel is, but the descriptions of the view on the drive up are based on pictures of Los Liones Trail.
Tumblr media
The Verona Grand is, of course, inspired by the early years of the Chateau Marmont, but also crossed with a creepy old hotel I’ve stayed at in Colorado. The name is a reference to the setting of Romeo and Juliet plus the Neptune Grand from Veronica Mars (for that sunshine noir energy).
The Mark of Zorro (1920): Full disclaimer, unlike Mickey, I didn’t watch the whole thing (I didn’t have the good incentive of looking for my crush), but the moments I referenced are here and here.
Tumblr media
(About ten years ago, I went to an outdoor movie screening that had been advertised as The Mask of Zorro but turned out to be The Mark of Zorro; after about 30 minutes, we all gave up and went home. Sorry, Douglas Fairbanks! We wanted Antonio.)
Hunter’s name is a reference to 1950s actor Tab Hunter, who came out as gay in 2005. (One of his long-term relationships was with Anthony Perkins of Psycho fame, after they met at the Chateau Marmont.)
KY Jelly has been around since the early 1900s (!). Here’s some of the vintage packaging. We’ll just assume Mickey was distracted and didn’t look too closely at the tube (or thought it was pretentiously packaged hipster lube; thanks for that idea, Deanna!).
Tumblr media
Mickey calls Davie “Nurse Ratched” as a reference to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest; the actress who played her in the original movie, Louise Fletcher, played Frank’s mother in season 2 of Shameless.
Nerve pills: These are fictionalized (I don’t know how well they worked or what they tasted like; probably not nice!) but they’re based on Carter’s Little Nervine Pills, the active ingredient of which was extract of hyoscyamus, which (if my Googling is correct) is henbane. Henbane is quite toxic and can cause hallucinations. It was commonly associated with witchcraft, since ointment made with it could cause people to see things and feel like they were flying. Never change, early 20th century medicine.
Tumblr media
Another one of the compounds in henbane is scopolamine, which can be used to treat motion sickness. This worked well for my purposes because I had decided that the sickness Ian and Mickey experience when they stay in the wrong time is a cousin to motion sickness (if traveling through space too fast can make you feel sick, why not traveling through time?).
The concept of quantum entanglement is the other one in my mind when I think about what “connects” them each to their own time, but don’t ask me any follow-up questions on that, because honestly I’m not great at physics and I don’t totally understand it. Storytelling-wise, I just like the idea of things being connected to each other on a submolecular level. I refer to this in Two of Your Earth Minutes, as well, for the same reason.
Mickey also makes a reference to the idea of the observer effect. (Lotta quantum mechanics in this dang ghost story!!)
The new movie Ian is going to audition for is A Woman of Paris, directed by Charlie Chaplin.
Tumblr media
I think he would have gotten it, don't you?

Obey me! Lucifer loses MC the worst way (Part 3/3, Final)
Attention: Not short attention spane friendly. Spoilers. Angst
Part 1/3 | Part 2/3
######################
The day after you had gone, the demon brothers gathered in your room sad you left them and went to Diavolo's Castle.
"Why did he let her go?" Asmo said annoyed to his brothers. "What's the big idea of letting her abandon us like that? Aren't we her family?"
"She didn't abandon us." Belphie answers. "She just doesn't feel safe here anymore ... I don't blame her after what he did ... After what we did." Belphie says clenshing his fists.
"I never threatened her." Beel said sadly.
"Never did I as well." Asmo adds. "But we didn't protect her either."
To this, the brothers remained silent. Saddness, guilt and regret in their eyes.
"I still do not agree with how Mammon supported her on her decision and went against us." Levi finally said. "What a ... a ... a ..."
"A what?" Satan asks.
"I don't know. This is weird. I can't bring myself to insult Mammon anymore." Levi realizes in awe.
"Are you ... afraid of HIM?" Asmo teases.
"I AM NOT ... I think. I feel something like ... RESPECT?????"
A loud gasp from everyone fills the entire room.
"I feel it too ..." Beels confesses.
"I know what you are talking about." Belphie shares avoiding eye contact.
"My skin cannot support the blood pressure of a choc of this magnitude. I need a moisturizer." Asmo dramatically announces. "But I admit, he is kind of sexy throwing orders, leading with such an iron fist.The charming prince out of the swamp's ugly usless frog."
"So we all agree." Levi says annoyed shaking his head.
To this, everyone turns his head to Satan quiet this whole time.
He feels the eyes on him, his face goes tomatoe red and deturns his face from all.
They all explode laughing hysterically. Asmo throwing himself on the bed laughing outloud, Levi hitting his thigh with his hand tear laughing, Beel choking on his snack and Belphie palming his face shaking his head disappointingly.
"I respect anyone capable of landing one on Lucifer's face and sending him to his room." Satan finally says.
To his answer, the brothers go into a second round of frentic laughter.
"I heard my name. What is so funny?" Mammon enters the room.
Hearing his voice, the demons collect themselves briskly.
"What is wrong with y'all?" Mammon says confused. "I warn ya, if you are ploting some stupid prank on me amma beat ya asses." Mammon steps back at the realization of the genuine effect of his threat on the group.
He clears his throat: "I want us to do something. All together. As a family." Mammon says seriously making eye contact with each of his brothers. They all look at him in readiness. "We need to go and talk to Lucifer."
"NEVER!" Levi shouts. "I am not talking to him E.V.E.R."
"Levi is right. He almost killed our sweetheart in cold blood." Says Asmo infuriated.
"Listen. I am not denying what he did. I am moving forward from what he did." Mammon arguments gently.
"Who says we want to move forward?" Beel frowns at Mammon. Belphie, Levi and Asmo nodd at his remark.
"We want to move forward because we have always been reacting to what happens here. second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh born, we have always been relying on the first. Following whatever easy out from responsibility comes. Letting Lucifer innitiates ... Letting MC innitiates." Mammon closes his eyes in regret. "For once I am asking you to take an initiative that isn't anyone else's. This is our family. Lucifer is our brother."
"I know. But I can't forgive what he did to MC, the way he did it." Belphie rejects.
"You heard what she said." Satan gets involved. "She said: "Find the strenght in you to forgive Lucifer as a brother. What happened between us as lovers is up to me alone to forgive or not. But for the sake of your family ... my family. Forgive Lucifer. When you do, I'll find my place among you again." If we want to protect MC, this time, we need to give her back her place home."
The demons look down thoughtful, surrendering. Mammon gives Satan a look of gratitude to which Satan nodds with a smile.
"Come with me, I have something to show ya." Mammon invites his brothers.
Standing at the entrence of Lucifer's study, looking at his brothers digging their affairs in the pile of papers downstairs, Mammon says to Satan: "Dontcha wanna go dig our truth with'em?"
"Thank you, but I had my share of it yesterday after you went to Lucifer's. I have no intention of rereading his proofs on me sabbotaging his work and reputation across the Devildom."
Mammon smirks sarcastically.
######################
Lucifer seeing his brothers all gathered in his room couldn't remember if they had ever been all seven gathered here before. All gathered other than to be given a lecture.
Asmo was explaining how the lack of sleep and nutrition is bad for demons' nerves and skin. How he has been so superficial never seeing through his eyes and pains. That he found him very handsome and loves him dearly.
Levi shared how he has always been envious of his achievements, intelligence and success with girls up in the celestial realm and down here. That he knows he should be more present for the family but always counted on Lucifer to do more for him to do less.
Beel just wanted him to know he no longer holds grudges regarding what happened with Belphie and Lilith and wanted him to know he is grateful for everything and will always get his back.
Belphie knew he was the least present with the family and his activity, when awake, mostly consists of ploting pranks against Lucifer. He apologised for making his life harder for amusement.
Satan looked at Lucifer embaraced: "Don't expect me to say anything. You know everything there is already. I know wrath more than anyone. I was close to this same situation myself and you prevented me from crossing the line. You were there for me. I wasn't there for you. If you weren't there that day I would have appreciated to be forgiven afterwards. This is one reason why I forgive you. The other reason is ... you deserve to have such proof of affection." Satan finishes looking away completely.
Mammon was proud of his brothers all coming together. And for once he felt he did the right thing. That him, also, was their older brother. Walking away from the group hug he was ready to gamble the night away with Satan's credit card sleeping so comfortably in his pocket.
...
"Wait ... Where is my credit card? it was right here in my .... MAMMOOOON!!!" Satan screamed running after the second born.
"How lovely, we are back!" Asmo says. "Wait Satan amma help you hang him to the ceiling."
Lucifer chuckled at the view of the hord running after Mammon calling him all those funny names. He was ready. Ready to punish Mammon, to let Levi play, Satan read, Asmo fuck, Beel eat and Belphie sleep. But he more than anything knew next time things will get hard he won't have one nor two nor three demons he could relay on and sleep tight. He will have six.
After that night, things came back to normal ... almost. The brothers were silly and goofy like always but were making sure to genuinely check on each other.
Lucifer came back to work, more reasonably. Especially after Diavolo knew his part of responsibility in Lucifer snapping and made sure he doesn't send more than the demon could handle. This being already a lot, both were satisfied.
##################
"You will return to the House of Lamentation tomorrow?" Barbatos asks you.
"Yes, as usual. I miss my boys. Let me know as soon as Lucifer is done here so I can come back to the Castle before he goes home." You say.
"I will, as usual."
You have been sharing your time between two homes. In the Castle when Lucifer is at the House of Lamentation and in the House of Lamentation when Lucifer comes to the Castle for work. Needless to say you haven't met since the fatidic day. He sent you several letters that you never opened and requested to see you more than a hundred times. You always declined.
"Aren't you tired MC?" Barbatos inquired.
"I am. But it is necessary."
"For how long still?"
"I don't know."
"You forgave him already, didn't you?"
To this observation, you feel your blood freeze in your veins. You look at Barbatos in pain, hands shaking. "How is it possible to forgive so much? So easily?"
"You have a pure heart, MC. Although it is handicaping, it is not a weakness."
"How can you say it isn't one when it almost brought the death of me? I keep forgiving and forgetting even when I don't want to. I can't control my will to see good in everyone. Even if I see their evil, live it, feel it ... hug it. A simple word, a simple smile, a simple memory makes me forget it all. This isn't how things should be."
"How should they be?"
"I should be immuned. After every deception, heart break, betrial, I should be immuned. I should be able to better protect myself. But here I am turning in cercles."
"So this is why you refuse to see him? You are afraid not to feel cold towards him? To still see good in him?"
You laugh bitterly. "My poor Barbatos. I am afraid I would hug him ... I know I would." You lift your head to look at the demon tears in your eyes laughing at your misery.
Barbatos lowers his gaze not knowing what to say for the first time of his existence.
"You saw everything, didn't you?" You ask Barbatos.
"What did I see?"
"Come on Barb. I know you'd never resist the urge to travel in time just to see what happened that day with your own eyes."
"I indeed did come back and witnessed it all."
"Have you noticed?"
"What should I have noticed?"
"When I told him I made a pact with you to protect you he answered "To protect me?Just now? After what?". He wasn't talking to me. He was talking to Lilith, wasn't he?"
"He was."
"He saw in me everything. His brothers and their troubles. Diavolo's project and his assignements. Lilith who helped me help Belphie and not him. A human with a pact with his name on. Everything ... Everything but me. He didn't see me. The human who will die sooner than him having his first white hair. Yet here using up her little time waiting for him. The fragile body against his endless power coming to him and him striking it away. The woman loved by many yet only loyal to him. I want to punish him. Take away from him the only thing his pride would never give him. My love. Selfless, pure, endless love."
Barbatos was looking at you saying those sharp words tears coming down your face yet without an ounce of mercy in your eyes. So this is the human's heart break power he always heard about. He was both fascinated and terrified.
#####################
"Why didn't MC come for a sleepower this time like every time Lucifer stays at the Castle?" Beel asks Mammon at the dinner table.
"She said she wanna prepare for next week's exam and she needs calm." Mammon answers.
"It's all because of you making her binge watch your movies all night every time she comes over." Asmo reprimended Mammon.
"Oie ... Not like Levi doesn't make her watch anime and play games till dawn."
"Don't blame me. Blame Asmo and Belphie forcing her to cuddle all night." Levi passes the ball to Asmo again.
"I never forced anything on anyone. She loves me." Belphie says teasing.
"Don't say nonesense cow demon. MC isn't that stupid." Satan attacks Belphie.
Mammon throws a napkin on Satan's face hearing Lucifer coming back home after a night spent at the Castle to signale to him to change subject. Lucifer is very sensitive hearing about you. The brothers try not to bring you infront of him to avoid hearing his heart shatter at every mention of your name.
Lucifer knowing you were coming back to the House of Lamentation at each of his absences, made it his routine to spend couple days working at the Castle making excuses of his destroyed study. This gave you time to enjoy yourself with the brothers. And with a pain in the chest, the night he comes back, Lucifer would sneak into your room to smell your recent presence on the bed sheets. He was looking forward to coming back tonight just for this. To hug your pillow pretending you were still together, pretending he was giving you the time he should have gave you before and you deserved, faking a hope to wake up on a kiss of yours, pretending you still want him as much as he wants you. He will sneak into your room this night as well. But he won't find your smell.
Last night you haven't been in the House of Lamentation as Lucifer, Barbatos and Diavolo think. You haven't been at the Castle as the six demon brothers think either.
##################
"She is going to die, this is too powerful for her body." The first witch screamed.
"We warned her. She knows the risks. We cannot stop the ritual now." The second witch persisted.
"It's time. Prepare yourselves. The fragmentation is about to begin." The third witch announces.
The three witches joined in a cercle holding hands reciting incantations as your body flew above their heads surrounded in an orb of energy several shadow demons flying frentically around it.
In your despair of vowing your love to the wrong demon and incapacity of your heart to hold on the facts and protect you from the dangers and surrow, you turned to the three most powerful witches on earth. You took the opportunity of Mammon sneaking into your room at the Castle one night to take the contact of the witches from his D.D.D. The witches were happy to help in exchange for the money they never got back from Mammon. It wasn't that hard gathering the needed money selling pictures of Asmo sleeping to his fans. Lucifer was right, being so close to Mammon, he did rob off some of his shady skills on you.
Your wish was simple: Forget every memory you ever had with Lucifer as a lover. The hugs, the kisses, the butterflies, the pillow talks, the good mornings, the goodnights. Every memory of you two together. This and your love for him out of you.
How does someone even take a love out? You wanted whatever part in you responsible of loving him to die. You wanted to be sure to never be able to love him even if he is face to face with you, looking at you with his crimson eyes filled with the purest of love screaming your name.
For witches as strong, this was a piece of cake. Only if your love wasn't that pure.
Your love for Lucifer was quite unusual. The sincerity of it, the depth of it caused your love to no longer be in your heart but imprint your very soul. What an irony. Lucifer who was teasing you with eating your soul, did it in a way. To kill this love of yours your soul had to be taken out and fragmented. Lucifer's fragement would be given to the shaddow demons for them to eat. Only then the rest of your soul fragements would be returned to you.
What can go wrong? Everything. Literally everything. Any mistake means the death to your body. And your soul, now shattered in several pieces, would be lost in the shaddows for eternity. Somehow this was more gentle on your heart than Lucifer's betrial.
The shaddow demons got crazy animated around you at the view of your pure shiny soul. The witches could barely control the fragmentation with all the excitement. You feel it get out in a painful and sharp scream. You can see Lucifer's face smiling at you, Lucifer screaming at you, Lucifer confessing to you, Lucifer striking you, Lucifer waving at you, Lucifer standing in your blood. One image after another in a storm of feelings and memories. Then ... Nothing.
The shadow demons are no longer here. You are laying on the floor. The witches are above you.
"Is she dead?" The first witch asked.
The third witch approaches you and looks for your pulse. She laughs: "What a stubborn little girl, I even bet she would die before the ritual ends."
"This explains why they are that much intrested in her down there." The second witch says.
"Well, our work here is finished." Announces the third witch. "You! Shaddow demon, you got what you wanted. Your price will be to take this child and bring her back to the Devildom. Make sure no one sees you. We do not guarantee your safety."
The witches fly away and you are brought back to the Devildom. Put in the parc under one of the trees there.

"What do you mean she told you she is staying at the Castle?" Lucifer asks a half awake Mammon worriedly.
"Oie ... She texted me saying she wasn't comin'. Why are ya asking? What's happening? What time is it?" Mammon buffles.
"It is happening that when I was at the Castle, Babatos told me she came here to spend the night the other day." Lucifer announces shaking.
It didn't take much before the whole house was awake. The people at the Castle alerted. No one knew where you were at and everyone was looking for you.
Few hours later, Lucifer is running back to the House.
"She is upstairs on her bed. We found her passed out in the parc. But she is doing fine." Satan at the door tries to calm his brother down.
In a heart beat Lucifer was infront of you beside your bed. Eyes filled with tears, breathless, shaking to your sight. It has been so long! So much had happened! But you are here ... finally!
"Lucifer?" You blink curiously to him.
Lucifer flinches at your voice and gaze. You never call him other than Luce. Something was missing ... everything was missing. The warmth in your voice to him, the smile on your lips, the pink cheeks, the deep welcoming look. He hesitates a moment then approaches you very slowly. He gives you his hands at which you look not understanding what he wants then you finally take them.
Something was definitely very wrong. These were your hands but not the ones he knows. Their warmth, their tenderness were gone. It's like your hands no longer fit in his. He looks around trying to find someone who feels the way he does but everyone was just happy having you back, seeing you gathered in the same room with Lucifer without you trying to run away or him trying to kill you. You do not see the distress in his eyes and the confusion in his heart then turn your head to joke with the boys no longer aware of his presence next to you.
Lucifer goes out of your room and meets Barbatos. "I apologise Lucifer, she apparently wanted to be alone and wondered till she passed out in the gardens of cold. But she is all good now. No need to worry." Lucifer didn't really hear what the butler was telling him. He kept walking numb to his room.
Once alone ... he cried. He wasn't crying a regret, nor crying a heartache. He was crying a death. His love passed away tonight with no funerals, giving up on him to an eternity of silent condolences.

Not everyone who hurt you will know or recognize they did. Not everyone will apologise to you. Not everyone will cry your loss. Most will never. Before you give a piece of your soul make sure you'll at least deserve the tears of Lucifer on your departure. Otherwise, you would have been feeding the shaddow demons all along.
Thank you for reading me and gifting me with the only thing you truly possess, your time. The end!
