long-overdue, but we got there in the end. apologies if the formatting is lacking/awkward to navigate, and thanks for reading!
everything has also been posted to my hl ao3 account, if that's your platform of choice

In the immediate aftermath of battle, the professors race further into the foundations of Hogwarts. They daren't focus on the dangerous pickling of magic in the air, or how empty wiggenweld bottles crack underfoot- all that matters is getting to MC and Eleazar. They find them, but in a worse state than anyone could have foreseen. In the weeks that follow, MC struggles to cope with the grief of losing Professor Fig, determined to solider on alone. Repressing that pain has potentially devastating consequences for the secret of Ancient Magic.
(a three-parter exploring what i imagine the aftermath of the final battle might look like, coupled with concerned staff, and the support of our beloved companions)

'What just happened?' 'I just got us out of trouble.' 'No, you just pulled an Ominis.' 'I what' 'Excuse me?'
When Professor Weasley catches MC, Sebastian, and Ominis sneaking back into the castle after curfew, it seems like only one desperate move might keep them out of serious punishment. Except, before Ominis can even murmur a syllable about his family connections to the Headmaster, MC is speaking, claiming Professor Fig authorised their excursion, and it turns out there's another trump card among their ranks. Afterall, how could a professor argue with another professor?
______________________________
Is This Seat Taken?
ao3 | tumblr
Ominis didn't usually mind History of Magic. Dull as it was, at least the class gave him a change to get some peaceful sleep for once. It was almost enough to make up for the stinging loneliness that came with the reminder that he was sitting alone, that nobody wanted to sit next to a Gaunt- nobody except Sebastian and once upon a time, Anne.
And maybe, in the light of a newly blossoming friendship, MC.

A Foal's Trust
ao3 | tumblr
Death had a way of haunting you, especially when it occurs at your own hands. Sebastian hasn't been the same since that fateful night in the Feldcroft Catacombs, and struggles to come to terms with who he is in the aftermath- his gaze skirted around mirrors, he couldn't trust his own defensive magic, and begins to fade in to himself, steeping in self doubt.
For weeks, MC has felt condemned to watch as Sebastian's thoughts drifted to where they couldn't follow, longing to reach out and help, but feeling lost in knowing where to start.
But maybe it doesn't have to come from them.
And as it happens, they know just the den of unicorns that might be able to help.
______________________________
Don't Blame Me
ao3 | chapter one
Sebastian's concerns for MC's safety are at an all-time high. He's had it with their recklessness, their decision to trust a goblin the final nail in the coffin- if they refuse to listen to reason, insisting on continually endangering themselves, then Sebastian would simply have to take measures into his own hands.
When rumours begin to circulate about their latest exploit (the takedown of an ashwinder base) he's hit with an epiphany. Perhaps the enemy of his friend, could be his ally.
Whatever happened next, at least he'd always know MC was alive, no matter what the cost.

hihi! i love your writings!!! may i please request hcs w various black bull members where their s/o (reader), get's a scary dream and is scared to go back to sleep, so they wake their s/o up and get comforted? thank you!
Fandom: Black Clover
Character(s): Asta, Noelle Silva, Vanessa Enoteca, Luck Voltia,
Warning(s): Angst-Fluff, Mentions of death, blood, Nightmares,
Readers Gender: Gn
Asta~
Tumblr media
You couldn't believe this would happen. You had always trusted Asta and his skill but it seems your worst fears came true. Surrounding you were the black bulls but in that moment you were really worried for Asta but what you can see was him on the ground surrounded by blood. It looked like he wasn't breathing. Your voice cracked when you tried calling out to him, as you walked closer and closer to him as chaos was happening all around you. The more you got closer the more your eyes started to tear up as again you called out to but it was nothing more than a whisper. Then now you cradle him in your arms feeling his blood stain you and now when you yell for Asta your eyes open as you sat up in bed. You looked around as your heart raced while your eyes adjusted to the dark. You jumped when you felt a hand on your shoulder but calmed when you heard the voice of your boyfriend. When you turned to look at him the moon light was enough to see he was worried. "Y/n are you okay?", Without a second thought you tackled him back down to bed taking Asta by surprise. "Are you safe out there?", You asked as traced shapes into Asta's chest. Asta knew what you were talking about as yesterday he got hurt during a mission which sent you into a panic. "I'll always be safe knowing I have you to come home too", you looked up and saw Asta smile which made you smile. You laid your head back down on Asta chest and as you were drifting back to sleep you could feel him place a kiss on your forehead wishing you sweet dreams.
Noelle Silva~
Tumblr media
It was clear as day as you saw Noelle trying to fight off Vanica as you were there if cursed with a frozen spell. You stood still there as you watched your girlfriend get beaten and you couldn't do anything about it or help. You can feel tears come down your face as you saw Noelle's body hit the ground and that's when you yelled out Noelle's name only for you to wake up? Your eyes scanned the room as you slowly sat up trying to calm your breathing. The room was silent till you heard a familiar voice call out your name. You turned to see Noelle rub her eyes letting them adjust to the dark but before they could you hugged her tightly. Noelle let out a yelp as her face grew red but when she was gonna say something she could feel your body shaking. Noelle rubbed your back as she hugged you back. You both sat there for awhile till she let you both fell back onto the bed. "I love you Y/n", Noelle said as now she just held you closely with her giving you a small kiss on the top of your head. You lifted up your head from her chest to look at her, "I love you too". You said as you laid your head right back onto her chest.
Vanessa Enoteca~
Tumblr media
You didn't know how this happened this was supposed to be a non-lethal mission. But you two got ambushed by Diamond kingdom mages catching you both by surprise. You two tried to hold them back but it ended with Vanessa clinging to life and you being covered in yours and Vanessa's blood. You try calling out to her while pushing her hair away from her face while you couldn't stop the tears from coming down your face. Vanessa only smiled as her hand reached your cheek. You then closed your eyes only to open them seeing Vanessa looking at you worried with her hand on your cheek. "Are you okay? You kept tossing and turning in your sleep while mumbling something", you didn't answer but only pulled her close to you as your arms wrapped around her body. Vanessa was shocked by your actions but she connected the dots as she hugged you back. "I'll get stronger", you said looking down at Vanessa and she only smiled giving you a quick peck on the cheek as you two went back to sleep, with you now knowing that Vanessa will always be by your side and that she trusts you.
Luck Voltia~
Tumblr media
You understood why Luck always wanted to fight but you always wanted him to be careful but here you can only see the worst thing possible. You can see Luck getting punched by some monster but when looking at his face you can see he now has black eyes, cuts, bruises, blood all over his face and around him. You couldn't say or do anything till you felt your body move as you ran towards Luck reaching your hand out getting ready to attack the monster but before you could you woke up after feeling you hit something. You looked at that instead of a monster you punched your boyfriend who now was waking up. "Y/n?" "S-sorry Luck", Luck still sleepy didn't really react as he usually would. But after a minute he got a good look at your face seeing how you know were just blankly staring at the wall. "Luck?" "Yeah" "Please be careful", it took Luck a couple of minutes but he soon got an idea of what you meant. After a minute you laid back down only for Luck to wrap his arms around you and look up at you. "I'll be careful", you smiled at his words and only answered by giving him a quick kiss before you both drifted back to sleep.

Can I request Vi, Caitlyn & Jinx (Arcane) with an S/O who's a seriously good drummer?
S/O Being Seriously Good at Drumming
Fandom: Arcane
Characters: Caitlyn, Jinx, Vi
Type of Request: Headcanons, Innuendo
Notes: Absolutely!! Also Caitlyn gives vibes of “looks like they listen to classical music, listening to Five Finger Death Punch instead”
Tumblr media
Caitlyn
Depends on where you’re practicing your drumming.
If it’s when she’s at home trying to work on a case and you’re tapping a beat on her desk or something with drumsticks then she might ask you to stop so she can focus.
But if you two are in a nice spot away from everything then she loves just relaxing while you’re playing something in the background. Did not think she’d be as big of a fan of the drums as she is.
Would end up being annoyed when she’s trying to work and just has some song you played stuck in her head on repeat. It’s a good song, but she doesn’t need it stuck in her head.
Jinx
Oh she wants you to teach her! It’d be nice to have something to let steam off that’s not just killing people. Ooh maybe she’ll teach you how to fight in exchange!
Jinx is so loud when you’re practicing your drumming. Just cheering you on and constantly yelling that you’re kicking ass and sound so good!
You absolutely get bonus points when Silco or Sevika try barging into her room and she can just yell that she can’t hear them over your drumming, which causes them to be annoyed (Sevika more as Silco has grown used to it).
Does try playing for you too. She doesn’t know what she’s doing, just that if she times some bombs right then they can add to the noise and make it sound cooler (looks cooler too with her pink and blue smoke that gets let out from the bombs too)!
Vi
You know you could be banging something else S/O--
She thinks the drumming is cool. It’s loud and a good way to let off steam, which she is always trying to do. Makes a great background track for when she’s practicing her punches too.
You end up hearing her bragging to others about it too. Just her nonchalantly talking about how cool her S/O is with being able to play an instrument and not sucking.
Hey, if you ever need new drums or symbols or whatever then she’s sure she can whip something up. With the amount of trash that gets dumped, there’s some good buckets that can make some noise.

"I cannot believe they're actually sentencing poor Buckbeak to death," Romina said as she, Hermione, Harry and Ron went down the hill leading to Hagrid's home. The terrible news that Hagrid had sent the trio was enough to pull them out of their stupid argument to come together for Hagrid.
"I can," huffed Ron. "It's all Malfoy's fault."
"Please don't tell me that's going to be your comforting words for Hagrid."
"Guys," Hermione said once they found Hagrid. He was knee-length in the Black lake chucking large rocks to the water.
The group was cautious when they greeted him. The conversation wouldn't be pleasant, after all. Hagrid wasted no time telling them what the committee had said about Buckbeak which resulted in the terrible decision.
"But there's still the appeal," Ron tried to say with the utmost optimism that it would turn out much better the second time. "Don't give up yet, we're going to work on it!"
"Yeah, I'll try to talk to Draco too," Romina offered since she failed to do that the first time around. Too much stuff happened right after they asked her to persuade Draco to let the incident go. "Somebody has to get through that head of his."
Hagrid appreciated their intentions but he had very little hope. "S'no good," he said, "The Committee's in Lucius Malfoy's pocket. I'm just gonna make sure the res o' Beaky's time is the happiest he's ever had. I owe him that."
"We're very sorry, Hagrid," Hermione said with a long sigh. There was really nothing they could do if Lucius Malfoy had the Committee.
"'S alright," Hagrid shrugged. What more could he say, really?
The others felt the same thing. Later on when they were returning to the castle, they tried making plans amongst themselves to try and visit Hagrid more while Buckbeak was still around. It would be slightly challenging to do with all the restrictions currently in place but they were sure they would find a way.
"You could always use the Invisibility cloak and the map," joked Ron when they reached the courtyard.
"You still have those things?" Romina sent a curious look over to Harry, stopping altogether. "I understand the cloak but the map? Is that thing really safe?"
Harry thought it was. "Hasn't failed me yet."
"Yeah, it's what it got him to Hogsmeade," Ron said, still laughing with mischief.
Romina gasped, however, since this was the first time she heard about it. "What? But…"
"Don't look at me," Hermione said as soon Romina had glanced her way. "I've told him it's reckless with Sirius Black on the loose."
"I'll say!"
Harry rolled his eyes at the pair of girls. "It was fine. Besides, it helped me see a couple things." Hermione and Ron had assumed he meant the conversation he eavesdropped about Sirius Black being a traitor but Harry looked directly at Romina. He had yet to talk to her about it.
But of course his lingering gaze alerted Romina that something was off. "What?" she frowned. "What did I do?"
"Haven't gone to Hogsmeade have you?" Harry decided to ask just to see what Romina would say in front of the others.
"Well, yeah," she nodded, "I changed my mind at the last moment."
Harry raised an eyebrow at her. "Really?"
Romina's face was blank. "Yeah, why?"
"Sure nobody, I don't know, convinced you somehow?"
"I'm very confused, Harry."
"So was I," Harry said with his own frustrated frown. "When I saw Malfoy convince you to go."
"What?" Ron half laughed at the idea. "Now how the hell would Malfoy ever do that?"
Romina wanted to laugh at how absurd this conversation had suddenly turned but instead she was growing agitated . "This was ages ago, first of all, and why the hell were you eavesdropping on us?"
"It was an accident," Harry said truthfully. "But Malfoy just blackmailed you and you...you weren't even mad at him for it?"
"Well..." Romina drew in a breath, preparing herself for her friends' reactions, "He...he was trying to help—"
"Help?" It was Harry's turn to laugh at an absurdity. "He blackmailed you!"
"Into me having fun at Hogsmeade, Harry," Romina said, "I hardly think that calls for the police, do you?"
"What's a 'police'?" Ron said, and Hermione promptly shushed him.
"I hardly think you should be calm about it," Harry all but mimicked Romina's voice. "At the end of the day, it was blackmail."
"At the end of the day, it's none of your business," Romina returned the favor with a snap. "He just helped me in his own way."
"Look, let's just calm down," Hermione cut in, eyes darting between the two. "Remember, we need to try and help Hagrid here."
"Yeah, I know, Hermione," Harry sighed then looked at Romina again. "I just want you to be careful around him, Rom. You never know what he could do."
"What we need him to do is try and get him to tell his father to back off," Romina said, finally continuing to walk. They were close to reaching the castle.
"Good ruddy luck," Ron scoffed. "He milked that accident for, what, three months? He's not going to change his mind."
Romina couldn't blame him for the lack of confidence. She herself wasn't entirely sure she could convince Draco of doing anything. He was, to put it in simple terms, a wild card. "I have to at least try. I owe that to Hagrid for not doing it the first time around."
"Rom, just stay away from him," Harry insisted. "What happened to Buckbeak is done. There's nothing that we can do."
Romina sighed. "Maybe you're right...but stay away from him? Harry, we're in the same House. We have similar friends. Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself. You've seen it."
"Yeah…" Harry's eyes looked over the long mane of hair over Romina's shoulders. "We've seen it." But unfortunately, they hadn't understood why she was doing all those changes.
Romina knew exactly what he was looking at and shifted. She was quick to excuse herself for some homework.
~ 0 ~
As it would turn out, Harry would end up losing the God-given map that same night. He could only take consolation that it hadn't ended in Snape's hands. At least Lupin would take care of it. Still, that left Harry with no way to move around the castle safely in secret anymore. The cloak could only do so much for him.
Romina told him that he would probably end up getting the map back in the end somehow. It was no secret that he and Lupin were close. "Just stay on your best behavior until the end of the year," she said, laughing when she earned Harry's wide-eyed look.
"You do realize that's almost impossible for me, right?" He sighed. "I have terrible luck."
Romina giggled. "That you do. But hey, I bet if you focus on the homework and Quidditch practices, you won't have time to get into trouble."
There, Harry could agree. The weeks that came were filled with both homework and Quidditch. Even Romina found herself cooped up in her common room to catch up on some work. It left little time to do anything else. The only thing that gave her slightly more time was the fact that she no longer had to tutor Luna Lovegood. It was a shame, really, because Romina came to really like Luna and her odd quirks. She only had to tutor a Hufflepuff student now but that was less days than with Luna.
"She's almost good enough not to need me either," Romina told Arden during their dinner. "And when that happens, I'll be able to focus more on my homework. Course then that means I'll have to actually understand what I'm doing now."
Arden laughed teasingly. "God, Romina, how the hell do you pass?"
Romina shrugged. "Beats me."
"I bet she cheats," Pansy's voice came into the conversation. She sat on the opposite side of the girls, two students to their left.
Romina rolled her eyes. "I mean...or maybe I'm just smart."
"Please." It was Pansy's turn to roll her eyes. "I know you're friends with the gamekeeper so there's that grade, not to mention that Scamander boy's been oh-so-helpful with you lately."
Romina lowered her fork for a moment to turn her full attention to Pansy. "Because unlike you, I can actually be pleasant to be around. I know, it's a new concept for you."
Pansy rolled her eyes again. "Please, like we can't see what you're doing? I bet you bat your eyes at Scamander to do all the work there and I've no doubt you do the same to Draco in Potions."
"Absolutely not!"
"Fine, cheating then, whatever," Pansy shrugged then flashed a smirk at Romina.
Romina opened her mouth but something — or rather someone — caught her eye. She closed her mouth, lips stretching into a smirk that didn't go unnoticed by Arden. Romina picked up her fork and continued to eat. A few seconds later, Draco strode down the table towards his usual spot. Romina calmly chewed her dinner and swallowed a few seconds later.
"Hey Draco?" she called casually. "Do I bat my eyes at you to get you to do my Potions work?"
Draco's expression was phenomenally comedic when he turned his head in her direction. "Excuse you? What the hell do you think I am? A monkey?"
"Oh no, not me," Romina said, bringing a hand on her chest. "But Pansy seems to firmly believe that."
Arden snorted into her goblet, splashing her face in the process. Pansy nearly shrieked.
"I did not say that!" she cried.
"Uuum, but you did," Romina said, "You said I was cheating using Rolf and Draco to do my work. Arden, isn't that what she said?"
"Yup," Arden popped the 'p' in her answer. She grabbed a napkin to dry her face.
Pansy's eyes widened in alarm. "I didn't — I didn't say what—"
But it was too late. Draco had heard enough and was livid with her. "Who do you think I am, Parkinson? I don't do anything for anyone! Got it?"
"Well, I — of course I know that!" Pansy fervently nodded her head, absolutely flushed with embarrassment. "I know you wouldn't—"
"Good. I better not hear you say anything like that again, got it?"
Pansy apologized profusely to Draco and throughout the whole thing, Romina ate her dinner feeling very smug. Pansy didn't continue to eat anymore and left her dinner half eaten at the table. Arden high-fived Romina and the two girls giggled together.
"Knock it off, Oswell," Draco said when the giggling got too much for him. He threw Romina a look, telling her that he knew exactly what she had done. "You will not use me to further your little war with Parkinson."
"Hey, I just wanted to inform you about something I thought you would like to know about," Romina said innocently. "And, uh," she lowered her voice before continuing, "you did lie, by the way."
"Excuse me?" Draco's eyes widened.
Romina kept her voice quiet as more of their friends began to arrive for dinner. "You did my Potions work," she reminded him.
Draco turned his head away for a moment. At the same time, a slight pink dusted his cheeks. "That was different," he muttered.
"Whatever it was, you still did it," Romina said. He could appreciate the fact that she wasn't making fun of him for it. If anyone else found out, like Blaise or Theodore, he was sure to be in for it.
"Yes, fine, but you said we could forget about it," he said quickly. "So do that."
"Okay," Romina reached for her goblet.
Draco watched her from the corner of her eye. She was eating with no intention of continuing the topic. He was just fine with that but there was something else on his mind that he hadn't been able to get rid of. And he couldn't figure out why. "You seem to be real buddies with Scamander all of a sudden."
The comment confused Romina for two things: it and the fact that he was bringing it up in the first place. It wasn't like Draco to give a damn about any of her friends. He tended to hate all of them.
"Yeah, what about it?" she said, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing I...I'm just impressed he actually held a conversation with you."
"Oh, thanks," Romina said heavily enough to make him wince.
"Don't get it twisted, Oswell. Scamander doesn't hold many conversations with us, alright?"
"Mm, maybe because his interests don't lie with screwing around at parties?"
Draco met her glance, startled. "He ratted us out? Figures."
Romina chuckled. "He just told me some things. I'm not surprised, by the way. But, again, what's it to you?"
"Last time I remember, you were upset with him because he ignored you. What happened to that?"
"We moved past it. Now we're friends. And he's not weird, by the way. He's actually very kind. And gentle."
"Oh, please—"
"Don't you dare say anything about him," Romina warned. "He's a really good guy. And he's been teaching me all these new things about the creatures Hagrid's introducing us to. Did you know that his grandfather is a—"
"Magizoologist?" Draco rolled his eyes, unimpressed. "Yes, yes I did know. We all do."
Romina huffed. "You don't need to be rude right now."
"And I don't need to hear about you fawning over him."
"I'm literally just saying how he's helped me. I'm not 'fawning' over him. Think you're just mad that I didn't listen to you and got to know him."
"I'm fine with whatever the hell you decide to do with your life, Oswell," Draco said shortly. "But it's Angel you should be more concerned about."
"And what the hell does Angel have anything to do here?"
Draco smirked suddenly and when he did that, Romina tended to dread what he had up his sleeve. "You're really going to pretend like you don't know?"
"Know what?" Romina made a face that only deepened when she heard Arden's 'oh boy' beside her. She flipped her head in Arden's direction. "What?"
Draco snickered. "Even King knows it."
"Know what!?"
"Oswell," Draco scooted closer to her. He seemed to be enjoying the moment way too much for her liking. He put an elbow on the table and rested his cheek on his palm. "You're seriously going to sit here and tell me you don't know that Angel has a crush on you?"
Romina's eyes widened to the brim. They might as well match the size of their dinner plates for tonight. "I-I don't...you c-can't…" She was stammering, yes she was, and it was just furthering Draco's enjoyment. "You can't...you can't just say stuff like that!"
"Why not? I thought it was always good to tell the truth and whatnot? Isn't that the shit you always tell me?"
"He's got you there," Arden remarked. She calmly ate while her best friend went through a series of red blushes.
"Don't help him!" Romina hissed. "And you, Draco, you better not say that again!"
"Why?" he smirked again. "It's true."
"Shut it!"
"That's my line—"
"Shut it!" Romina shouted loud enough to attract several eyes, even those from other tables. "Don't say that again! And quit smirking!"
"So who gets to tell Scamander that he's got competition?"
"I swear to God I might just strangle you right here!"
"Still won't change the facts."
"It's not true," Romina insisted. "It's...it's not..."
"Oswell, you're not stupid. You really haven't noticed it? I mean, who do you think gave you the Valentine's card last year, remember?"
Romina stay quiet. Draco was right in some aspects. She was not stupid. She could see things and, yes, maybe she did notice that Angel was always very nice to her. He was overly helpful, perhaps even more towards her rather than his own sister. He was always around her whenever he could be. His gifts, his words…
"Oh damn..." she whispered.
"There it is," Draco said with a smug smile. "Glad to be of service, Oswell." He moved to scoot back to his original spot when Romina grabbed a fistful of his shirt. "Hey!" he frowned.
"You breathe a word about this to anyone and I swear to God I will make you wish you were facing Buckbeak again who — by the way — is being sentenced to death because of you and your dramatics!"
"My dramatics!? I was literally almost murdered in front of the class!" Draco said incredulously. He wrapped his hand around Romina's that was holding his shirt. "Let go now!" He pulled her hand as hard as he could, ignoring her squeak from his grip, and pushed her away.
"You should be ashamed of yourself for letting that innocent creature die when you are literally 100% okay!" Romina frowned. She rubbed the back of her hand. "If you had any decency, you'd tell your father to call it off."
"Not gonna happen," Draco said without missing a beat. "Might as well say your goodbyes now."
"Now I definitely know why you and Rolf aren't friends," Romina muttered and made a show to scoot away from him. "Rolf actually cares."
Draco pretended like he hadn't heard the last of her words and he most definitely pretended like it didn't strike a chord.

Now that the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin was closer than ever, the animosity between the two teams and Houses were growing by the day. It was a sight to see a fight break out each day for no reason except for the damn Quidditch cup. Even the Easter holidays were filled with different fight scenes.
Personally, Romina couldn't wait to see the stupid games over just to get back to normal. She was sure that she wasn't the only one. Hermione had confided in her that it'd been hard to get work done while the Gryffindor common room was full of bubbling students going on about the upcoming game. Those same excited Gryffindors often came to Romina's ears.
"We're going to cruuuuush youuuu!" The Weasley twins sing-sang each time they saw Romina, no matter where it happened to be.
Romina playfully rolled her eyes at them. She was making her way towards the dungeons to finish up homework that would allow her to see the game tomorrow morning. "Get out of here you pompous buggers," she waved them off.
They laughed and sang their tune one more time before heading off in the opposite direction. Romina would admit that she was a little excited to see the game happen but she really just wanted it to be over already.
Unlike the teams from both sides, she woke up happier than ever on the day of the game. It was finally going to happen and they would see it end.
To support her House, she pulled on a long-sleeved green blouse with dark jeans. The silver serpent twinkled on her cardigan. She'd pulled her long hair into a side braid then put on the enchanted headband that flashed green and silver.
She, Arden, Angel and Carolinha got together after breakfast to head over to the field. Before they left the Great Hall, however, they wished their respective team good luck. Nobody wanted to say anything but they were looking a bit pale.
"You reckon we'll win?" Carolinha asked the group once they found their spots on the benches.
"We better," Angel said with a huff. "Everybody's giving Slytherin the looks and for what? Because we happened to have won each year consecutively?"
"Shh, they're starting!" Arden waved the twins off to be quiet.
Lee Jordan was starting the commentary. He was happy to announce the Gryffindor team, no surprise, but when the Slytherins came out, there were a lot more boo's being thrown from the audience. It got no better when the two captains were asked to shake hands before the game actually started.
When Madame Hooch blew her whistler, all hell broke loose.
The two teams rose into the air and zipped for the Quaffle. Gryffindor took the lead almost immediately, something that had audible booing from the Slytherins. Angelina made a record score. Of course her win was cut off when Marcus Flint "accidentally" crashed into her.
"Oooh, that had to hurt," Romina crinkled her nose as the poor Gryffindor was nearly thrown off her broom. The booing that erupted from the other Houses were justified in her opinion.
Course then Fred took it upon himself to retaliate in a seemingly accidental chuck of his Beater's club at Flint.
"Might as well put them in a wrestling match," remarked Arden. Both she and Romina laughed together.
"Could you imagine that?" Romina shook her head. She knew for sure that Draco and Harry would have some terrible goes at each other.
The game resumed after Madame Hooch forced both teams into penalty shots. It was back and forth for a while until Gryffindor nearly made another goal...before the Slytherin chaser grabbed her head instead of the Quaffle.
"What the hell!?" Romina shrieked. Katie Bell went cartwheeling in the air without letting go of her broom. "It's like our own team wants to lose!"
It would cost Slytherin another penalty shot that the Gryffindor team actually made.
Back and forth went both teams when the game started anew. After a deadly collision between two Slytherin Beaters, the team managed to score their first goal. The entire Slytherin House cheered loudly on the bleachers.
But it would be the only score they made for a good while. The game was shifting into a game that Romina had never seen before in her three years. She was horrified to see both teams resorting to old fashion cheating. "Accidents" happened on both sides, making Madam Hooch's head nearly roll.
And yet, Gryffindor was scoring goal after goal. It all came down to Harry now because he found the Snitch, the cup was theirs.
As soon as he spotted the Snitch, Harry took off in chase. He would've reached it had Draco not literally grabbed onto the end of the Firebolt. It cost Slytherin another penalty. However, being so furious at the cheating, the Gryffindors didn't make the goal. In fact, they were beginning to lose their winning streak as the Slytherins began scoring.
It was another back and forth but Gryffindor was getting its hand back in their goals. Harry and Draco fought for the Snitch again, making a few close calls for both sides.
"There they go again!" Carlinha pointed when both Seekers dove down for the golden Snitch.
"Almost colliding," Romina said as she chewed on her bottom lip. If those two had it their way, they would collide fists with each other's faces.
"Ooh, Harry's almost got it!" Arden had her hands clapped to her face. "If he gets it, we lose!"
Harry went as far as to take both of his hands off his broom to get the damn Snitch before Draco. And in the end, he did.
Slytherin had lost and Gryffindor would now take the Cup for the first time in over almost a decade.

Not sure how to phrase this but I enjoy the concept of the reader accepting the character's romantic confessions. I was wondering if you could write something like this. And it can be any character of your choice.
When you accept their confessions
Characters: Kaeya, Ayato, Scaramouche
Genre: headcanons, fluff!!, also some angst ahhaa sorryyy :>
a/n: Hi!!! Thank you for requesting! I wasn’t sure which fandom you wanted me to write for so I did genshin :3 hope its ok! If you wanted a specific fandom you can request again :)
———————-
Kaeya
You accepted!!??
Ahem…. But of course you accepted
He’s THE Kaeya after all
Tall
Charming
Good looking
Why would you refuse him? No one would
When Kaeya shoot his shot, he was not prepared for your beautiful eyes to brighten, the smile he loved so much graced your face, and archons did he love that smile, as you accepted
He ‘s actually very insecure around you
And he hates that, the fact that he cares about your opinion on him
Because of his past and his potential futur, he doesn’t want to be attached to anyone
But you
You make everything bad go away, and the only thing he feels is peace
So the idea of you turning your back to him…..
He doesn’t want to loose anyone he cares about again
And so, here we are, in Angel’s share
Kaeya offered you to join him for drinks when he found out you were drinking alone (unknown that you were also here to drink your feelings for him)
And with the help of the few drinks, Kaeya figured that you rejecting him now would be easier than falling deeper for you
And when you accepted and told him your feelings as well
Kaeya got that smile that rare are to witness
For once, he was truly happy
Ayato
It is no secret that he is busy
Being the head of the Kamisato clan as well as the Comissioner of the Yashiro comission AND managing the Shuumatsuban
He gave up time for himself long before he met you
But when he did meet you for the first time, he started making time for you
Spending time with you was always moments he looked forward to do
And so when he realised his feelings for you are romantically and he wanted to hold your hand constantly, giving it a kiss while interlocking his fingers with yours, showering your face with sweet kisses, getting lost in your voice as you talked
He prepares a whole date, bringing you to a festival, watching you have fun
And at the end, he confesses to you in a secluded area with some fireworks he commissioned from Yoimiya
It is cheesy but in the best way
And when you accept, he feels immesurable joy
From then on out, not a day has passed without you feeling loved
Scaramouche
Okkk he’s a hard one but trust me
Sooo at first, you do not know who he is
Stumbled upon him while in Inazuma
You had to relly on each other for a while in order to survive and thats how you know him
He’s mesterious at first, clearly puts on a fake maske of reliability with you as he planned to use you and abandon you once he secure
He never intended to develop feelings for you
You were not fooled by his fake mask, but you had to survive so what choice did you really have?
You were always honest with him and that set of a spark of flame between you two
Before even knowing, you have become a team
You depended on one another and the presance of the other became too familiar
But of course you had to learn the truth of his identity
When he told you, you were shocked, confused, and in the middle of a life or death situation
And on top of that
He confesses
He cannot stop thinking about you, he cares for you even after he promised no one will ever be able to enter his heart, to be vulnerable aroud them
And you were separated
He could see the fear and hurt in your eyes before you split ways
The next few days he spent them rethinking, what was his goal again? He did not have any motivation or ambition to strive foward.
And when danger came face to face
Scaramouche was loosing
Too much distracted, not enough will to move one
And then he saw you, rushing to his aid like before, leading him to safety as you prepared camp
Everything was silent as you cooked some food, oatched up his injuries and fed him
He broke the silence
“Why”
Why did you save him? Why come back after his existence caused you pain? Why not turn your back on him.
He thought he was in a dream when you said you also have feelings for him
And then began your peacefull days together

Feeling in the angst mood? Have this: s/o is very ill and may or may not be holding on by a single pathetic thread that is basically threatening to snap, and does so in the middle of a moment (could be a fight of some kind or maybe even a bit of fluff). So, as their s/o is literally just about to see the gates of wherever they're going in the afterlife, what happens? [This can be for any fandom and character(s) you want btw! [Which totally isn't my own excuse for not knowing who I should put]]
━"Come Back To Me"
━Charlie
━Tw: Death, angst
━Notes: Ask turned one shot
━Song: "This Is Home" By Cavetown
━GN!
Tumblr media
Drip drip drip-
The steady sound of droplets hitting a hardwood floor splattered into the empty room. The air was thick with sorrow and the smell of something foul. Something unbothered and stony.
Drip drip drip-
The slow noise was coming from a green tinted arm, a lime substance dripping off of it as the limb reached out.
A hand guided itself to a bed with tightly fitted sheets. A single finger reached out to poke a fleshy feeling on the bed with desperation. The inhabitant of the pristeen bed was a pale adult. They had sunken cheeks, thin hair, and eyes open wide in what seemed like suprise.
In reality it was anything but.
Drip drip drip-
"(Y/n) from Las Nevadas? Please answer me. I don't know what I did wrong. Please talk to me." Someone whispered. The weight of their words weighed down the already heavy feeling of heart break.
Drip drip drip-
A third figure was standing in the door way to the room, leaning on the wooden frame as silent sobs racked his body.
Quackity watched as Charlie stroked the sick persons hair with a mourning look on his face. The casino owners golden wings were curled into the back of his shoulder blades as he continued to watch.
Drip drip drip-
(Y/n) had always been an ill person. Constant coughing, sneezing, and running a fever more times than not were the normal for them.
But recently it had gotten really bad.
Drip drip drip-
At first it was just a simple passing out episode, but before he knew it Quackity was staring into the lifeless (e/c) eyes of his once best friend turned bed-ridden corpse.
Their pulse was still, expression limp and empty. As if they could see everything yet nothing.
Drip drip drip-
Slime was there when it had happened. Three days ago at that.
The two men were sitting around their bed, taking turns telling the about their day.
As Quackity was describing a recent fight between two new gamblers that had atummbled drunkenly into a bar, (Y/n) stopped smiling and fell silent.
Drip drip drip-
Quackity didn't have the heart nor strength to tell his slimey friend that they were dead. Dead as the man who owned a burger van across the street. Dead as the love Quackity's heart once held for his fiances. Dead as the smile that used to rest on Charlie's face.
Drip drip drip-
Even Wilbur had felt the loss of (Y/n), a person he had only ever had the pleasure of speaking to twice.
The Lmanburg flag outside his rickety food van had been at half mast ever since the dreadful news reached the burger flipping brit. Quackity never saw the zombie man use that price of cloth for anything other than to mock the charred country (and himself) but there it was. Halfway down the pole; waving sadly in the wind. A reminder of what, and who, once was.
Quackity swore he heard crying from behind the vehicle the other day.
Drip drip drip-
Charlie was in love with a corpse and Quackity knew it. He saw how his eyes had lit up everytime (Y/n) used to ruffle his gooey hair; how a light green tint would appear on his cheeks when talking about them
That's why he couldn't bring himself to tell the hybrid.
Drip drip drip-
Quackity wiped his eyes silently, moving away from the door and towards Charlie.
He rested a hand on his clothed shoulder, noticing how tired he seemed.
"They're not coming back for a while, are they Quackity from Las Nevadas?" Charlie whimpered asked with a broken voice, breaking the long overdone silence between the pair of three turned two.
Drip drip drip-
Tears accompanied stray droplets of slime tumbing down from Charlie's body now. Salty streaks stained the both of their faces like tattoos. Reminding them of what once had been.
Drip drip drip-
"No buddy. No they're not." Quackity whispered.
And all was finally still.

Sooo tired wtf

hi bestie bokuto and saiki anon is back with another request,, idk what to call myself bc i love ur blog and love requesting random hcs to you bc i love your writing sm :( anyways i was wondering if you could do hcs where bokuto’s and saiki’s s/o just got acrylics and they try gently scraping their long nails they recently got against their scalp/thru hair and along their back? 🧍 ily
GIVING HIM A MASSAGE 
Tumblr media
characters ♡ (multi-fandom) bokuto, sakusa, daichi & saiki k 
tw ♡ fluff, gn!reader, reader wears aryclics. mentions of death, timeskip! sakusa (suggestive) & mentions of spiders
a/n ♡ AAAA you came just in time!! i’m changing my tags :)) would you like to be 🔮lovely or 🦉lovely??? (crystal ball represents saiki and the owl is bokuto-) unless you have another emoji in mind!
Tumblr media
KŌTARŌ BOKUTO had a deal with you; he’d pay for your nails in exchange for a massage and kisses. the kisses had been delivered already and he sat on the carpeted floor in front of the couch — where he’d usually sit while you massaged him so y’all could watch a show on the tv while you worked — with an expectant expression, making grabby hands at you as soon as you entered the living room. you cocked a brow, about to play dumb but you didn’t even get the chance as he began to chant, “relaxing time! show me what those pretty nails can do.” wow, couldn’t he be a little bit more stubborn? you sighed, approaching the couch and swinging your leg around his shoulder to take you usual seat behind him, “it’s not the nails, bo. it’s my fingers that do the work.” his lips parted to form a small ‘o’ shape as he fumbled with the remote to put on the show you guys have been watching, “really? maybe i should start paying for your nail removal, then. if i did, would you give me another mas--” “no.” bokuto let out a dramatic sigh of defeat, at least he tried. then, a small smile tugged on the corner of his lips as your fingers laced through his hair, pads of your fingers rubbing his scalp in such a way that made him hum in pleasure.. 
(minors dni) KIYOOMI SAKUSA was tense and refused to get a massage from a professional masseuse because he didn’t want to strip and have a stranger touch his body so intimately; the mere idea grossed him out. however, the knots in his back weren’t going to be fixed by even more over-exertion and poor posture, hence you took it upon yourself to help him.. after you got your nails done, of course. so as soon as he came back from practise and entered him bedroom, he was greeted by you standing next to your shared bed with an intimidating expression, “take off your clothes.” you commanded, gesturing to the bed. happily obliging, sakusa tossed his clothes into the laundry basket and was about to pull you into a heated kiss but immediately frowned when you swerved his advances and pushed him face-first onto the mattress. then, you began to run your cold fingers up his flushed back, rubbing deep circles into his skin which resulted in involuntary sighs of satisfaction escaping his lips. despite the fact this wasn’t the stress relief he was expecting, it was much better than he could imagined — it was as though he had ascended. however, he was so lost in the pleasing feeling of your cool nails tickling his skin, he hardly noticed how rough you were being and this was only brought to his attention the following day when atsumu’s nosy-ass inquired about the marks on sakusa’s back in the changing room, accompanied by a comment that made kiyoomi scowl. 
SAWAMURA DAICHI smiled as you showed him your nails with such enthusiasm, “they look beautiful, (y/n).” your experience at the nail bar was all you had been talking about since you arrived at his house — which was only like three minutes ago — and honestly, he wasn’t opposed, he loved hearing you talk so passionately about something.  he parted his lips to inquire about the price but before he could utter a single word, you stepped behind, kneading his broad shoulders with your palm which resulted in a shiver running down his spine, “what are you doing?” he chuckled, crouching slightly so he didn’t have to arch his back for you to reach. “tryin’ to give you a massage, does it feel alright?” you replied, chopping across his back with the side of your hand like the masseuses in movies do. “yeah.” there was no uncertainty in voice — that you could pick up on, at least — which brought a small smile to your face. your pointy nails dragged along his back, absentmindedly drawing letter and symbols that you thought daichi wouldn’t pick up on as he laxed expression and low murmurs of satisfaction suggested he was too engrossed in the feeling to notice, but you were proven wrong as you finished tracing ‘i ❤ u’ onto his skin. you were only snapped out of your thoughts when your boyfriend let out a hearty chuckle, “i love you too.”
KUSUO SAIKI was on defence. being a psychic who’s powers rivalled those of god, he never would’ve thought that he would be caught out by confidant — who was also his romantic partner — and a set of devilish claws. to think, he was originally foolish enough to think of them as pretty since they were complementing colors and nice shapes. plus, he had no reason to believe they were dangerous. until you began sneaking up behind them and using your nimble fingers to mimic the movement of an insect on his back. the first time you pranked him, he almost energy blasted you straight to hell. fortunately for him, you took the hint and felt extremely bad for taking advantage of his fears like that, offering to give him a massage as an apology. despite the fact he made it painfully apparent that he didn’t want to be near you until you got those wicked talons removed, here he was; sitting crossed-legged with his head rested between your thighs as you gently ran your hands through his hair, down his neck and across his shoulders. and the worst part was, he was actually enjoying it! the feeling of your finger working expertly at every knot in his neck and lifting what felt like the world’s weight of his shoulders left him helplessly melting into your touch. plus, his previous concerns about your hands in his hair were proven irrelevant as you make it a point to be extra careful around his clips. “thank you, (y/n).” he hummed, voice muffled slightly as his cheek was pressed against your thigh. “and sorry for almost killing you earlier.”

Youngbin
Doesn't understand at first 💀
But he isn't scared to ask so he'll just ask you
The panic on your face makes him panic
Apologizes 🥺
Then you explain that it's no big deal and that it's just a story
But he saw his name 💀💀💀
So he's curious and so he does research aka Googles it
Has a mixed reaction, doesn't know what to think
On one hand, he's flattered...?
Like, oh sweet, you are reading a story about him probably railing you to death
On the other hand, why are you reading it?
Did he not satisfy you enough? Should he do more? He wants to
So he will pick a random one, read it and be like, Okay. This is how it's gonna play tonight
So determined 🥺
Picks you up for your date and stuff
Timeskip to the bedroom by a steamed dumpling Dawon
So touchy and observant
Tries his best to remember what was in the story
Forgets but that's okay tho cause now he knows what you want
More Dom than usual
More vocal than usual
His grip on your skin leaves so many bruises and literal fingerprint shaped marks
Bites your neck a lot
Doesn't hold back one bit
Secretly satisfies his wishes too
Teases you for being so ready
Teases you for every reaction
Pulls your hair
Overstimulates you
Until you're tired and can't take it anymore
He could go for a round more
So he does
It's also like, he's lowkey angry at himself cause you were reading smut which made him think, maybe you thought he was too vanilla
But after you've both cooled down you ask him what happened and why he was so rough, not that you had a problem
Expresses his concerns and you tell him that you read those only cause you wanted to know what the fandom thinks of him and the way they think he likes to have sex
Blushy babyyyy
So cute 🥺
Inseong
Bro
Do I even need to 😂
He's probably written a few 💀
He seems like he's into roleplay 👀
So when he does find a tab open on your phone about literal PORN, in words
He doesn't think much of it tbh
But is curious
He'll tease you like you are both high schoolers
Holds you phone up high so you can't reach it
Satisfied when you whine and pout
Tucks your phone in his back pocket and grabs your face
" I think it's hot "
Peck's your lips and slaps your butt leaving you wide eyed
You need a minute to process what just happened lol
Running after him you pull him down on the couch, sitting on hids lap
Bite you lip and grab his face pls
Now he's wide eyed 😂
Kiss his neck and talk to him sexily
" Do you really like that I read smut? "
You look so innocent he would cum right there
Poor man is dumbfolded
So much that he doesn't even realize you were grinding down on his thigh the whole while
Grabbing your hips he nudges your hips to continue their movement
Loves having you so close
Especially after discovering your secret
Suck him off after and he'll do any and everything for you 😉
Jaeyoon
Oo this one is fun
He won't confront you immediately
He'll just think about it a lot
" How are they so cute when they read such things for fun? "
Stares at you from across the room
Smirks at your cute smiles
Timeskip this time by Baek Huru
Surprises you by kissing your neck
Humps your butt
Pecks you neck
Rolls your nipples in his fingers
Moans in your ear, deeply and hoarsely
Pulls away dragging you to the bed
Sits near the headboard
Beckons you to come closer and naked 👀
Forces your dick in you, slowly tho, don't worry
Doesn't give you a lot of time to react
But, all this seems familiar
Then you realize that he's trying to recreate the imagine you were reading before
The whole idea made you hot
Istg you've never finished so soon
He tells you that you don't need to read those stories when you have the real deal right there
Sanghyuk
Smug bastard
He's happy that you're thinking and reading about him even when he isn't with you
He will actually read the warnings and is mildly surprised lol
Wow you really into all that?
He has no shame so he will ask you directly
You stop doing what you're doing and just slowly turn towards him
He's scared lmao
Then explains himself and says sorry
Tbh, you're more shocked that he isn't angry
Blinking you slowly make him sit on the dining table chair
Pacing you start to think of and explanation now
Is there any explanation for reading smut? Idk 😂
Honestly, he asked you so that you could actually do what the warnings said in real life
Gets up, takes your hand pulling you close and lifts you, making you sit on the dining table
Removes his shirt before kissing you intensely
Tells you that he wants to fuck you on the table like in the smut
Nodding you let him take over
Makes you cum twice easily
It's more romantic than rough
Passionate, very passionate
Kisses you a lot
Hands on you all over you
Pulls you closer and closer by your thighs
Lays you down and fucks you till your back is no where on the table
Sweet reassuring smooches when you're done
Tells you to talk to him about such ideas rather than just reading them
Seokwoo
He is shocked™
Listen okay
He's tall
He's scared that he'll hurt you if he does what he wants without thinking
Reads multiple smuts 💀
Only the ones you've liked so far tho
Fuckin uses your account so yeah obviously
Now he'll be ready to talk to you about it
So shy omg
Stutters words out cause he's so flustered
You need to read his mind, literally
Once, somehow you are finally clear about what he was talking about
You'd just laugh at his cuteness
Boy is confused ??
Pushing him down on the bed you climb on top of him
Yes climb
Needy but still shy and shocked
Wastes no time in getting naked
Allows you to do whatever you want to him
No, really
Let's you take charge that is only until you tease him
Flips you and thrusts into you so hard the bed is shaking and you feel like it might break
Strong grips on your thighs and hips and belly and arms
Definitely sore for a few many days 💀
Juho
I'm not sure tbh
Either he won't care at all like
" Oh yeah this is just their thing "
Or he'd be so into it like hed wonder why you were reading it, was it for ideas?
He already has those so you don't need them from someone else
He won't ask you about it tho
But you will bring up an idea that was in one of them
And he's down
Or up, whichever you want
Asks you what you want more times than usual
But it doesn't make sense cause you're literally going crazy with the way his cock feels inside you and he asks you what you want?
Starts moving before you answer
Asks you again and again till all you can say out loud is " More "
He's fine with that answer
Hands above your head
Teeth scraping your the front of your throat drawing so many sounds from you
He's driving his dick in you so fast that you're moving away from him
Praises you with his deep ass voice
Gives you his Vampire stare™
That's all you need to cum undone
Keeps it a secret, won't ask you unless you bring up your little extracurricular activity 😌
Yoo Taeyang
SHY BABYYYYY
So pink when he realizes what you're reading lol
But he's so mesmerised that he goes on reading it 😂
You catch him looking at your phone, no big deal
But he's looking at it as though he saw a ghost
He's turned on but at the same time he's appalled
Do people see him like that? Do you want him to be that?
He's gonna need a lot of time to process the information
When you reassure him that he doesn't need to change anything at all, he's more calm then
But on a fine ass blue moon, his fine ass is gonna decide that he's gonna try something new
So there you are, on the terrace talking to someone on the phone. After ending the call he'll come and hug you from behind
It's all aww so cute till you feel his dick press into your butt
Forces your head back to rest on hius shoulder slowly but hotly
Unbuttons your jeans and pulls them down in one swift motion and his hands are all over you
Somehow the idea of having sex in the open night sky is so exciting
Stops just before you reach your high so that he can fuck you
You're leaning on the terrace wall
Face pressed slightly on it as your butt sticks out for him
Giving him permission to do anything to you
The orgasm hits you so fast but it's so fulfilling 🤤
And your pants are being pulled up even faster 💀
Maybe you should leave smut laying around
Youngkyun
You've found the saucuest lil smut about your boyfriend
He's sitting at the table, on his laptop composing and writing songs while you are here on the bed, blanket over your legs
Now see, you aren't really one to get off of smut but this particular one was so realistic
The description
The reaction
The dialogues
Reading it made you body move on instinct
Lower lip getting stck in your teeth
Hand travelling down to your privates
Your hips thrusting forward into your hand and fingers
Your breathy moans, that you tried your best to stick to, were louyd enough for him to hear
At first he thought you were doing a breathing practice or something
That is until he recognized the pattern
Lifting his blank phone up, he moved it to look at you through it
Boy is so shocked
It's like his own private porn show
Placing it back on the table gently, he moves the blanket slowly, getting under it
Licking his lips, he tucks his tongue out, licking the area that your fingers just slid over
Gasping at the sudden feeling you drop your phone and move your blanket off
You inevitably moan at the sinful sight below you
Your lovely boyfriend, looking up at you through his lashes, tongue coated with his saliva and your leaking juices
Holding your wrist, he nudges you to continue what you were doing, with his tongue never leaving you
Gripping your thighs, he bites your inner thigh as you work yourself closer to your high
After you cum, he'll lick off all your juices
Then he'll be all sweet asking you what you were reading
Round 2? 😉
Chanhee
He'll find it funny 💀
Why do people write these things
Why do people read these things
What is the use?
He is partly curious lol
When you tell him it stimulates the necessary regions, boy is shook
Then he's like nah
So you make him read one
He can't even make it halfway through lol
The foreplay itself made him hard enough to want you and to want to be in you
Grabs the phone and sits next to you
" I'm hard "
You look at him like boy what
Then he tell you that he now understood why people read them and that he's happy that people read them too help themselves
And you're like okay and what's the point
Pulls you on his lap
Whines at the feeling of to your butt on his arousal
Makes you stand now lol
Pulls his pants to his thighs and even yours
Places himself in you so that now when you sit on his lap again, not only is your back to his chest
Also his dick is in you
Somehow finishes the rest of the fic and just thrusts up into you
Cause you feel so heavently around him
Goes on and on and on till you're bouncing on his lap
Cums in you and just stays there till you finish your work
Still has mixed feeling now tho
Cause if reads them he wants you to be there near him and he wants to read more cause these fics are very addicting

To Build A Home
Pairing: Cullen Rutherford x Gender Neutral!Reader
Summary: With the mark on your hand growing out of control and Corypheus needing to be stopped, there was no shortage of problems for the Inquisitor. However, once your hand is forced, what will it mean for you and Cullen?
A/N: Hey guys! I’ve recently joined the Dragon Age fandom because oh my GOD their games are ridiculously good. Because of that, I have fallen head over heels for Cullen Rutherford (aka resident daddy) and I wanted to write something for him. I don’t currently have a masterlist for DAI so this post won’t be linked anywhere until I set it up. As always, I hope you enjoy!
Warnings: Fluff, Angst.
Word Count: 3,119
Tumblr media
Ever since the Inquisition was first formed, you could have never guessed that it would have led to you leading it and falling in love with your general, Cullen. You were the only one who could close the rifts with the anchor but you couldn’t do it alone, recruiting all types of comrades to help you in your fight. You had built the Inquisition from the ground up; taking over different forts and strongholds in the name of the Inquisition, closed numerous rifts across Ferelden and Orlais, recruited the best of the best to join you, and spread the influence of your organization. Throughout this, you and Cullen had been drawn to each other from the very beginning. There was something about him that drove you crazy. His confident and authoritative aura, paired with his kind hearted nature was something that melted your heart every time. Even during War meetings, he would offer you a small smile, avoiding the gaze of Josephine but never Leliana, for she was invested in your relationship. You couldn’t help the giddy feeling that rose in your chest whenever it had happened. That man had made you feel things you never thought you ever would, and you confided in him. With the heavy amount of responsibility that was on your shoulders, Cullen had offered himself as a shoulder to lean on and you were infinitely grateful to him for that. In return, you had done the same for him, wanting to show him just how much you cared for him. You remembered when the two of you had finally decided to stop dancing around it and finally admit your feelings for one another.
It was after you had gotten back from retaking the stronghold in Crestwood with the help of Hawke, stopping a ritual that was sacrificing Grey Wardens to summon more demons. You had walked up to his quarters with determination fueling you, repeating the same words in your head like a mantra, “Admit that you have feelings for him, admit you have feelings for him.” Though nothing went according to plan.
Opening the door to Cullen’s quarters, you walked in, Cullen’s gaze rising from the map on the desk to meet your own, a smile small spreading across his face. 
“Inquisitor! How may I assist you?” he greeted, formal as ever which made you roll your eyes.
“Cullen, what did I tell you about calling me that?” 
He smiled, a bit embarrassed, “S-sorry, Y/N. Is there something that you... wanted to talk about?” his left arm reached back behind his head to nervously scratch at the scalp. 
He looked ridiculously adorable and you couldn’t help but blush a bit seeing the influence you had on him. You walked up to him, stopping only about a foot away and looked directly into his eyes.
“Cullen, I...” you had the words but you couldn’t say them, the look of anticipation in his eyes rendering you unable to form words. “I uh... I gotta go!” you mentally beat yourself to a pulp and sprinted out of the room. Not ran, sprinted. 
You left a very flustered and confused Cullen behind and ran to your quarters, ignoring everyone looking at you in confusion. Though, when you got to your room, wanting nothing more than to hide under the covers and never speak to anyone again, you walked into Iron Bull laying back nearly naked on your bed like he owned the damn thing.
“B-bull!?” you nearly shouted.
“Look, Boss, I get it. You want to ride the bull, but I don’t think you know what you’re-”
“WHAT?!” you shouted at the top of your lungs, stopping him mid-sentence.
He hid his surprise at your reaction fairly well, continuing on hesitantly, “You see, us Qunari have rather large... weapons. I don’t believe that you could take it.”
The door suddenly slammed open, “The only ‘weapon’ that Y/N is going to be taking is mine!”
You had slowly turned around to face the door to see a red faced Cullen with his hand slapped over his mouth, to then hear Bull begin laughing behind you.
“Ohhhh, I see what’s going on here, I’ll just leave you two be,” he said, walking past you and Cullen to leave the room, closing the door behind him.
“Uhm, Inquisitor! Uhhh...” Cullen was a blubbering mess, unable to even form a single sentence, his face as red as a tomato.
As embarrassed, weirded out, and nervous as you were, you took your chance, “Cullen, what was it that you said when you walked in?”
His eyes widened, “N-n-nothing! I didn’t say anything at all!”
You hid your smile and forced your feet forward towards him, knowing that it was now or never, “Because if I heard you correctly, I would have to agree with you.”
He looked completely and utterly shocked, “O-oh... is that so?” he asked nervously.
You wringed your hands out by your sides, unbelievably nervous, “Cullen I-” you were at the precipice and you were still hesitating, but instead, you slapped yourself. 
Literally slapping yourself, Cullen blinked in confusion, but the pain snapped you out of it. You surged forward and connected your lips to his, Cullen going stiff for a second before he wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you closer to him.
You’ll never forget how happy you were on that day. While it was rather embarrassing half of the time, it led to you leading the most wonderful love story with Cullen you could ever imagine. Though, it was difficult, having to leave Skyhold so often to fight against hundreds of enemies. You knew the effect that it had on Cullen, he would plead with you, pray to the Maker that you would fight and return to him safely. One of the things that made you fall for Cullen so hard was how loving he was, he loved with all of his heart and he wasn’t afraid to tell you how he felt. Though, most of the time it included him blushing but that simply made it even better. 
Now, you were simply days away from confronting Corypheus in the Arbor Wilds. You led the bulk of the Inquisition forces, Cullen coming with you this time. You both knew that it was the end of the line. If you didn’t defeat Corypheus today, you would die, and so would the rest of the world. There was a heavy blanket over the two of you that day, you didn’t want to say goodbye, the both of you refused to even accept dying as a possible outcome, but you also didn’t want to revel in each other, the fear of losing that overbearing. As you reached Corypheus’ stronghold, you knew that this was something only you could do alone. Turning to Cullen, Corypheus could be heard in the back, taunting you, daring you to run to your death. You ignored him, focusing solely on Cullen. You could tell that he was using all of the will in his body to not break and stay strong, but you knew him well enough to see through his facade easily. 
You walked up to him and smiled lovingly, “Cullen Rutherford, I love you.”
A tear fell down his cheek as he responded, “And I love you, Y/N Y/L/N. Come back to me.”
The two of you shared one last kiss before you pulled away and smiled, turning to leave and meet your fate. For days, your mark had been growing and pulsing on your arm, it had never hurt before but now, it felt like your arm was being ripped off. You hid it from Cullen though, not wanting him to worry and not wanting to break his heart. You knew that you weren’t going to make it no matter what happened today, but you knew that no matter what, you were going to save Cullen.
“Foolish mortal, have you come to die?” Corypheous sneered at you, orb in hand as you reached the top of the tower.
You ignored him and instead looked down to the valley, seeing Cullen looking back at you. You couldn’t hold eye contact for long for he had sent a pulse of magic at you, forcing you to roll out of the way before recovering.
“This has gone on for too long, Corypheus! It’s time for your reign of terror to come to an end!” you shouted at him, building up the energy in your mark.
He laughed, “After I kill you, I shall lay waste to this world, starting with those mongrels down there.”
You could feel the mark radiating pure energy, sparks flying off of your hand and drawing Corypheus' attention.
“No, what are you doing?” he shouted, blasting a surge of magic at you.
It was too late, it reflected right off of you and suddenly you felt your body being lifted. Ever since you had first gotten the mark, you had spent every ounce of energy in your body making sure that you would never lose control. But now... you let go. Raw energy was coursing through your veins as you were lifted into the air, a ball of rift energy swirling around you. You opened your eyes to see Corypheus in fear, and Cullen looking on in worry.
Before you released all of the energy you had accumulated, you looked towards Cullen, mouthing, “I’m sorry, my love,” and released everything that you were holding.
Boom
Don’t have a divider for this fandom sorry - scene change.
It was a beautiful afternoon day when you and Cullen had decided to take a walk around Skyhold. You had found some free time after being gone for almost an entire month sealing rifts, making alliances, and spreading the Inquisitions influence. Frankly, you didn’t think you had the energy to do anything else for a while, you were completely wiped and wanted to do nothing but just be with the love of your life. Holding his hand as the two of you walked down the gentle breeze into the garden was soothing, it was exactly what you needed.
“You’re amazing, you know that right?” Cullen broke the peaceful silence.
You turned to look at him to see the pure adoration and awe in his orbs as he gazed upon you, “What?”
“This Inquisition wouldn’t be what it is today if it weren’t for you, and neither would I,” he added with a small blush forming on his rosy cheeks.
You blushed slightly as well with a smile, “You give me too much credit, you, Cassandra, and Leliana do all of the work, I just go out and fight and close rifts.”
He gave you an annoyed look, “And you dare pretend that your job isn’t a thousand times more dangerous than ours?”
You smiled at his protectiveness, “Cullen, I’m fine, and no one is as strong as me,” you flexed your arm with a goofy smile.
This broke him as he bent over laughing at your ridiculousness, the two of you sharing a chuckle before he straightened with a serious expression, “Y/N...”
You pulled him into a hug, resting your head on his warm chest, feeling his arms embrace you, “You have nothing to worry about, I will always fight to come back to you, no matter what.”
You could feel his relieved sigh, “You mean more to me than anything or anyone I’ve ever encountered. Even the slightest thought of losing you-”
You pulled back slightly, just enough to look him in the eye, “I’m not going anywhere. I promise, I will always come back to you, my love.”
Don’t have a divider for this fandom sorry - scene change.
The ground quaked with the magnitude of the explosion but Cullen didn’t even register it, shouting out at the top of his lungs for his entire world to still be alive. He ran directly towards the rubble, the sounds of people shouting his name behind him tuned out. He dug and dug for hours, Inquisition agents helping with the efforts.
“Over here!” someone had shouted.
Cullen ran as fast as his legs could carry him to a beaten and broken version of the person that owned his heart and his soul.
“No,” he whispered brokenly, dropping to his knees next to your body. 
He reached his shaking hand out to cup your bloodied cheek, “You promised... you promised that you would come back.” 
The only thing that the remaining soldiers could hear were the cries of their general, wishing that he had been taken instead.
Don’t have a divider for this fandom sorry - scene change.
Cullen was slunken over his desk at Skyhold, mugs of drunken beer scattered around, papers crinkled up and tossed haphazardly around the room. After the death of the Inquisitor, the mission of the Inquisition was completed, but Cullen had lost his will to live. 
“You promised me,” he mumbled, the tears rolling down his cheeks, “you promised you would come back.”
He held the necklace you had made for him tightly in his fist, pressing it against his heart in an attempt to ease the ache that was spreading out of it. 
“Cullen, do you have a moment-” Leliana was stopped in her tracks as she saw Cullen curled up in the corner of the dark room. 
She also immediately began to tear up but kept it hidden, walking towards Cullen and kneeling in front of him, “Cullen, I have something that might interest you.” He brought his gaze up to meet hers, “And what could possibly interest me, nothing does anymore.”
She sighed softly, “After the Inquisitor...” she felt a lump rise in her throat, “after the battle with Corypheous, I began to take care of all the loose ends the Inquisitor left behind. And in doing so, I came across this,” she took a piece of parchment out of her pocket and extended it to him.
Cullen wiped his tears and hesitantly grabbed it from her hands, “Hinterlands, in the Dead Ram Grove, the project is finally finished. Cullen will love it.”
He gasped, “This is in the Inquisitor’s handwriting!” He sprawled up immediately, “What was this project of his?”
Leliana looked crestfallen, “As a spymaster, I should know the information for what you ask, but the Inquisitor kept this project a well kept secret. You must go and find out for yourself.”
Not even thirty minutes after Leliana had presented Cullen with the parchment, he had set out for Dead Ram Grove.
“Where is it?!” Cullen shouted out, saddled on his horse as he looked around the area.
He wandered around on horseback, covering almost every last inch of the area until he came upon a house. 
“Impossible,” he spoke in a breathless whisper.
In front of him was almost an exact replica of a house he had wished for his entire life, the house he had only told you about. It was the spitting image of his childhood home but with a few modifications and it brought a fresh wave of tears. He snapped the reigns on the horse slightly to move closer to the home, dismounting and walking up the stone carved path. As he reached the door, his hand began to shake along with his entire body, the tears now dripping from his cheeks onto the ground.
Don’t have a divider for this fandom sorry - scene change.
“Then that’s where we’ll live!” 
Cullen laughed, “The materials needed to make a house like that do not even exist anymore, they were lost in the last Blight.”
“Doesn’t matter, if it makes you happy, then I’ll find them, even if I have to dig miles into the ground,” you said with determination. 
Cullen looked at you with adoration in his eyes, “You make me the happiest man on this planet, Y/N.”
Don’t have a divider for this fandom sorry - scene change.
“Damn it,” Cullen whispered, his voice cracking as his entire body shivered with the weight of his emotions.
After a few minutes, Cullen mustered up the strength he needed to open the door, walking into the foyer and immediately catching the faint smell of you. As he took the house in, he walked into the living room to see a piece of paper on the dining table. Rushing over, he picked it up and wiped the blurriness from his eyes to read properly.
“I told you I would build this house for you. Now, the only way you’re reading this note is if I didn’t throw it away before bringing you here myself so it must mean that I’m dead. I’m so sorry, Cullen, I know I told you that I would always come back to you, but this time, I lied. I love you with all of my heart and know that I will never stop loving you. Please, don’t be sad, live your life in this house, make a family. Knowing that I can leave this behind for you to be happy is all that I need. Goodbye, my love.”
The paper began to droop in his hands as his tears made the material soft, his hands were quaking and he couldn’t hold in his sobs. His back hit the wall and he slid down with the paper lodged in his hands, the necklace you gave him around his neck as he renounced you. 
“I don’t want to live a life without you,” he wailed into the empty room, “I don’t want to have a family if you aren’t here by my side.” He felt like he was being ripped in half, his love for you and his grief overbearing while his anger at you breaking your promise had his lip curling up, “A world without you is a dark and cold one, my heart.”
“Don’t cry my love, know that I will always be here with you.”
Cullen’s eyes widened as he shot up from the ground, “Y/N?! Is that you? Where are you?” 
“Turn around.”
His body instinctively turned before he could even think to, seeing the faint image of the love of his life staring at him, “H-how?”
You smiled, “Are you forgetting that I had the anchor? While my power dwindles, I only have a few moments on this side of the fade.”
“No, no, please don’t leave me again!” Cullen pleaded, moving closer to you.
“My love, please, take this house as my last gift to you, and use it to live out the rest of your life. Find someone to share your life with-”
“NO!” Cullen shouted. “I cannot be with anyone else!” the tears from his eyes seemed endless as he pleaded with you.
You sighed, defeated and heartbroken, “I cannot tell you how sorry I am that I broke my promise to you. I love you, my heart.”
Cullen was helpless as he watched you fade away, the room once again empty.
“I love you too, my love,” was the last thing heard in the room before Cullen had once again fallen to the ground.

Nikolai and fyodor with a female s/o who has a child and the father like left them- like how would they react and take care of them- idk if that made sense but if you somehow end up doing this thank you wjbskqhq 💖💓💞💞💛💞
PLEASE THIS IS SUCH A CUTE ASK
I misunderstood for the first half and thought you wanted an s/o that left the boys alone with a child like 💀 I thought you had a death wish or something geez, but this is way cuter and way more precious!!!
Tumblr media
Fandom: Bungou Stray Dogs
Characters: Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
Format: headcanons
Tw: minor blood mention
A/N: dbejdhs this is very wholesome but my mind hit a blank with most of it
Tumblr media
A child, huh?
Nikolai literally loves children so much
"You have a child?? Can I see can I see can I see can I-"
I'm so sorry, you don't exist anymore, he will just be a doting mother to the kid now, it's like you evaporated out of existence
He's doing every trick he knows 一 from pulling a bunny out of a magicians hat to making his hand appear at a random place, disconnected from his body, he's going all out
If possible (and if you allow him) he's going to teach basic magic to the kid
He's also making sure they have enough to eat and get enough rest every night, it's very important after all
Although...he can be just a tad bit frightening
Sometimes he gets so excited to come home to the two of you again, he'll barge into the house covered in blood head to toe
Horrifying
"Oops! I'm so sorry my little doves... I'll go clean up right away."
You tell your kid it's ketchup
They don't believe you
Even though he's the absolute sweetest and super ecstatic to spend time with the kid, please, never leave them alone with one another
Nikolai has strange philosophies, and he wouldn't be opposed to making others adapt it, especially little children with how easy to influence they are
He also has no filter, and will start talking about anything in front of them
By that point it's best to cover his mouth, but be careful, he can bite
Being around a child constantly has awoken his inner playfulness, a genuine one, and he definitely enjoys every minute of it
Tumblr media
He would offer to kill the guy for you
It's not a problem for him; a simple few hours spent typing away at his laptop and he will know everything there is to know about the guy: name, last name, address, embarrassing child secrets, you name it
If you agree to it, well, the man that left you will no longer roam this earth
But if you refuse, Fyodor will understand, but don't expect him to be completely docile about this. He'll send a member of the Rats to mess with the man's life in one way or another
He's not...the friendliest towards children
Aka he doesn't know how to act in front of them 一 he treats them like tiny adults, which is hilarious, but Fyodor please, a five year old can't drink coffee and discuss philosophy with you
Somehow though, since he's very still, if your child is a baby he's very gentle when holding them
+ will probably fall asleep, along with the baby
It's very precious
He claims to not like children, but they somehow flock to him
Your child will immediately adopt to Fyodor being their father, with little or no complaints
However, all of the actual caretaking, save for babysitting, will have to be taken care of by you
He doesn't know what children eat? How could he? Plus he's not washing them, that's gross
If you do complain about wanting more help regarding them, he can always ask Ivan to help out; he's a butler after all (essentially)
Also, for some strange reason, he always seems to finish his work earlier more frequently 一 coupled with going on fewer dangerous missions. A genuine smile can be found on his lips, if you look at him while he thinks he's alone. He can try as he might, but it's obvious that both you and the child have significantly grown on him (almost as if the three of you were a real family)
🥺🥺🥺

crewfu: fanfic spotlight :)
Angel of Life, Bringer of Death by woofles1990 (5up/Steve, teen rating, gen | 377 words, chaptered WIP)

flashover by Anonymous (Apollo & 5up, teen rating, gen | 853 words)
Summary: n. the moment a conversation becomes real and alive, which occurs when a spark of trust shorts out the delicate circuits you keep insulated under layers of irony, momentarily grounding the static emotional charge you've built up through decades of friction with the world. OR: it's pretty stupid to sleep on the tiles of a subway station, even though you are well aware you have a home. It's also quite embarrassing to have a friend pick you up from there.
Sparks Fly by Rocketro (5up/Fundy, gen rating, m/m | 863 words)
Summary: 5up and Fundy watch fireworks together.
you're holding back (shut up and dance with me) by lytriis (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 1.2k words)
Summary: 5up and steve dance.
what happens in Vegas by aphilologicalbatman (Apollo/Steve, explicit rating, m/m | 1.4k words)
Summary: "I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea, Steve." "Nah, this is a great idea, dude." (Or: the one where they hook up in Vegas.)

from blossoms by 5280ft (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2k words)
Summary: “O, to take what we love inside, to carry within us an orchard, to eat not only the skin, but the shade, not only the sugar, but the days, to hold the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into the round jubilance of peach. There are days we live as if death were nowhere in the background; from joy to joy to joy, from wing to wing, from blossom to blossom to impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.” -Li-Young Lee, From Blossoms
you think that i'm foolish now by amsves (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2.1k words)
Summary: “Is everything okay?” That’s a stupid question and Steve knows it. If everything was okay, Five wouldn’t be randomly appearing at his hotel room at—Steve checks his phone—2:37 in the morning. Their group had split up for the night a few hours ago, uncharacteristically early for them, but Five had had plans to talk to—
Like you wouldn't notice by Anonymous (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2.1k words)
Summary: Apollo is having feelings, so he pushes them down and hopes Steve doesn't notice. Avoiding Steve was never going to end well. "From that moment on, Apollo becomes hyper-aware of all things Steve. The way his long leg touches his, hip-to-knee, in the bar booth when they're drinking overpriced cocktails."
Vegas Lights by amethystvxidwalker (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2.3k words)
Summary: “You were planning on actually swimming with me, right?” Steve faced him, brown eyes and dopey grin almost making Five swoon. He forced himself to focus on Steve’s face rather than the black ink above his hip, small, blocky text that read ‘SUGR?’ because of course it did.
ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought by cj__writes (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 2.5k words)
Summary: Apollo isn’t sure when, exactly, he fell in love with Steve. Maybe, just maybe, he thinks, he never really fell. Maybe, he’s been falling. He’s still falling.
u spilled orange on u by SmearedWords (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 3.1k words)
Summary: Five times Dumbdog thinks Steve is illegally attractive and the one time he tries to admit that to him. Keyword: tries.
My love is the evening breeze touching your skin by tumtummeke (Apollo & Steve, general rating, gen | 5.2k words)
Summary: Steve's love language is physical touch. Dumbdog's is... not that. A day at the beach with Steve and Dumbdog (and background crewfu), told in five touches.
be like the love that discovered sin by Qupid (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 5.6k words)
Summary: It’s annoying because Apollo even left for work a whole hour early today, which should be enough time to get to his shitty office job like everyone else on the train, but unlike everyone else, Apollo also has a second job. Which leads to the last reason why Apollo is having a bad day: being pinned under an overturned car while a villain monologues at him. Well, that last reason isn’t really part of Apollo’s bad day, but sue him if he wants to include the misfortunes of his hero identity Dumbdog while listing the reasons for his bad mood. “I don’t have time for this, Suptic,” Apollo grits out, interrupting the villain’s monologue.
friends in this town by 5280ft (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 6.1k words)
Summary: Five only realizes he’s bitten his nails down to the quick when the sting of pain catches up to him. He’s probably overthinking. He just needs to talk to Hafu. That’s all. ...He doesn’t want to. He’s worried he will only hear an answer he’ll hate. Out back, putting off talking to his sister really gives Five a sense of deja vu. All he needs to complete the feeling is Steve. “You need to relax, man.” Speak of the devil.
this party's just another haunted house by cj__writes (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 7.7k words, chaptered WIP)
Summary: On December 31st, Apollo wakes up in his hotel in Vegas. The problem is, it's always December 31st.
call me by your name (i don't know that's pretty gay) by Qupid (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 10k words)
Summary: “Oh!” The human suddenly exclaimed, “You probably want my name!” Five had no interest in holding the power of a name over a human, it always seemed more trouble than it was worth, “Not particu-” “I’m Steve! It’s a pleasure to meet someone as cute as you.” The human, Steve, interrupted before 5up could finish. 5up’s eyes widened as he felt the power of gaining a name rush through him.  It was intoxicating and he could see why some fae would frequently come to the human realm just to trick humans into giving up their names. Five hadn’t needed to trick Steve, the man had given up his name freely and Five couldn’t believe how goddamn stupid he was to do it. “Ohhhh my god you’re an idiot.”
you'll hear me howling outside your door by Qupid (Apollo/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 22.2k words)
Summary: Something warm blew against Steve’s face and, distantly, he heard a high pitched whine. A nudge, and when Steve ignored it, a more insistent push had him opening his eyes to the face of a wolf mere inches from his own. Steve laughed. How delightful!  He was hallucinating animals now. The wolf’s fur looked bright to him, but even with as dark as it was Steve could tell it wasn’t white. Maybe it was more of a sandy color. Not that it mattered when all Steve could focus on was its piercing gaze and how its eyes seemed to bore into his soul. The wolf whined again and nudged Steve in the shoulder with its nose, making the man rear back when he realized that this might actually be a real wolf and not a hallucination at all.
kinda good for my love by sweetlikesugr (5up/Steve, teen rating, m/m | 44.7k words, chaptered)
Summary: 5up can’t really recall the exact moment when dares became his and Steve’s thing and he is not sure if he even wants to try - after all, why would you mess with something that feels so natural, that feels so right? Why not just let it take its course and see where it might lead them?
Also: mangoedges‘s 5up the human impostor collection!
FAQ:
Wait what is this: pretty straight to the point! i’ll regularly share crewfu-related fanfictions to this blog :)
How regularly is “regularly”?: great question! LOL. it depends on the flow of fanfics that get uploaded, which i do not have any control over, but i’m looking forward to do this twice a month. after all, it’s only me doing this and i often run on a tight schedule.
What’s the format like?:
[title of fic with link] by [author of the fic with link] ([main pairing(s)], [fic rating: eg, general rating], [relationship: eg, m/m] | [word count in k], [added prompt to specify if it’s complete or not])
Summary: [summary provided by the author. if it doesn’t have a summary, a “No summary” prompt will be put instead]
(What does WIP mean again?): Work In Progress :)
Why are you doing this?: from the beginning, my blog has hosted conversations about RPF (real people fiction) and crewfu pairings. this has evolved into people sending me updates about certain fics in the crewfu tags every now and then, but i wanna take the next step and just do these things myself. after all, i’m already lurking in the tags often to see the fics that get posted. as someone who is both a writer and a reader, i wanna appreciate fanfic writers and help out other people that want to read fanfic and consume more fandom content!
Will it be AO3 only?: well, ao3 has a very helpful tag system that makes finding fics incredibly easy, as well as allowing people with no accounts to like and comment on fics, so that’s the site i will personally look in for fanworks. but if there are any fics you’ve written or liked in any other platforms, such as wattpad, you can always contact me through my inbox (send an ask or a dm!), and i’ll make sure to include for the next fanfic spotlight :)
Does it mean you won’t reply to fic asks anymore?: yeah, i guess. since i’ll be doing the searching myself it seems counterproductive. but if i ever skip a fic or again, it’s in another platform, or you’ve posted/read the fic a while ago and you want to get more traction on it, hit me up and i’ll take it into consideration!
Will you read every single one of the fics on your list?: oh no. again, i run on a tight schedule, and also i have my own taste when it comes to fics. i won’t be reviewing fics or any of the sort, and my intention extends to simply sharing these fics to this page so people will have easier access to them :) that’s where ao3 tagging becomes SUPER useful!!!
So what’s the criteria for the way you’ll sort out the fics in your list?: word count, going from lowest to highest. in case of fics in other platforms, i guess i’ll put them at the top of the list. i’ll also be looking for fairly recent fics, so let me know if you want any old-ish fic to be included.
I see you talking mostly about 5up/Steve and Steve/Apollo. Can I still send/see other crewfu fics?: why yes absolutely! my goal is to push every fic which heavily features regular crewfu characters - 5uptic and supdog just happen to be very popular pairings. so, to give you a list: core 4 (5up, hafu, dk, steve), apollo, aipha, annie, janet, kimi, ellum, koji… you know the drill. it doesn’t have to be centered on a relationship, or about 5up in specific, etc. my only requirement is that any of the previously mentioned members are a central part of the fic or are HEAVILY featured in it (sorry, minecraft fics with 50+ tags who only mention 5up as an afterthought won’t make the cut :/).
Isn’t shipping Bad™?: well, it’s a little more nuanced than that. i will go out of my way to discourage and shame people who often violate CCs’ boundaries by acting like so and so has a crush on this person, or that this and that are Actually Into Each Other or secretly dating. any sort of tinhat bullshit is a big nono (think larries). but i run on the assumption that people who write rpf understand that what they’re doing is simply write a completely fictional story using real life personalities, and understand the boundaries necessary to do it - aka they’re not tinhats, they understand they can’t assume everything about CCs’ thoughts and personalities, they understand that what they’re writing is strictly fiction, they keep these works only in fandom circles, etc. (but again, it’s only one me doing this, so please be kind if i don’t happen to know that this person is Actually a tinhat or whatever).
show fic: NO. (seriously. i don’t feel comfortable putting my ao3 account out there. please respect my privacy on these trying times <3)
I REALLY don’t care about your rpf/fic talk: fair! i’ll be tagging every single one of these posts as “fanfic spotlight”, so just mute the tag using tumblr settings so you’ll never have to look at these! likewise, you can follow the tag if you want to keep up with it, or search it on my blog to look at the other entries you might have missed.
Hey, my fic is here and I don’t feel comfortable with it being shared over here: no problem! let me know as soon as you can and i’ll take it down <3

ryuunosuke tanaka
lmao flirting w you is like asking for a death sentence i do not make the rules
tanaka is not afraid to show you off , nor is he afraid to show off your guys’ relationship at tournaments either
he has full trust in you dw , but that doesn’t mean he trusts the men that get a little too close for comfort
if his death glare alone doesn’t scare them off i feel so sorry for them
ryu will 100% call someone out if they’re obviously flirting with you
“ hey , punk ??? you’re trying to flirt with them , huh ??? gotta tell ya , you’re out of luck , go find someone else . this hot stuff right here is mine , thank you very much . ”
he gets so confused when you get embarrassed because what ??? he’s just telling them the truth
“ ryu ! you can’t just call me ‘ hot stuff ’ in the middle of the gym !! ”
“ why not , baby ? you are hot stuff ! they’re just bummed out you’re not theirs . ”
not to mention , 8 times out of 10 noya will probably be right there with tanaka scaring off the suitors
those two are literally your bodyguards , and once they know that someone else has their sights set on you , do not expect them to leave your side
also , he holds a FULL GRUDGE against ladies men type people
cough cough tooru i’m talking bout u bby
you are to stay a mile away from oikawa and all of aoba johsai at all times , ryu will not accept otherwise
oh , and terushima ??? YEAH HES NOT EVEN GONNA LAY EYES ON YOU ONCE LMAO
at least , not without tanaka’s arm wrapped around your waist
gotta make sure they understand you ain’t on the market
all in all a very protective baby crow , can and will fight anyone who tries flirting with you so pls don’t test him
daichi sawamura
daichi is definitely the silent but deadly type let me assure you
i don’t care where that man is , he’ll always have an eye on you regardless
oh and he’ll probably have the rest of his team have their eyes on you too ; just in case there is a small instance where he can’t keep his eyes on you
yuu , ryu , and shoyo will be paying the most attention to you when the captain is not able to watch over you at the tournaments
lord have mercy to those who somehow actually get past daichi’s security
my best guess is that you’re probably on like , a water bottle run in between games , so that everyone can have fresh cold water during timeouts n whatnot
yeah you’ll probably get hit on by another guy in the halls ( let’s pretend it’s yuuji because i love him so much LMAO pls hit on me teru )
anyway he’ll def be at your neck like how he was tryna get kiyoko’s number
sadly you can’t do much because you have a bunch of water bottles in your hands so you’re just tryna shimmy away but terushima is not having it
out of nowhere his face blanks
literally pales
you’re about to ask him what that’s about until you feel an arm snake around your waist
like i said , the silent but deadly type
you can’t see daichi’s face as he’s staring down yuuji , but you can hear the annoyance in his voice
“ oh there you are , y/n . you need help carrying these water bottles , baby ? ”
you turn to yuuji , who has his hands up — clearly getting the message daichi was giving to him
“ alright alright , my bad ~ ! didn’t know they were yours , man . i’ll take my leave . ”
but he did add a “ see you later cutie ” before leaving the two of you alone
you couldn’t help but laugh as the captain latched onto you protectively as the two of you went back to the gym
“ daichi , it’s okay , he’s gone now ! you’ve done your job in saving me ”
“ nonsense . i can sense their eyes on you from everywhere . you’re not leaving my sight again , y/n . ”
koushi sugawara
koushi is definitely also a silent jealous type
but he’s more mellow when showing it subtly
but don’t get me wrong , the effect it leaves on others is just as menacing
he’s the type to leave that shiver of fear when he shows up
basically he’s a sweetie until people mess with you and that’s just on periodt
suga is not too protective over you , since he does trust you and has full confidence you won’t do anything to hurt him
cough cough he still wants the other nasty boogers keeping their hands off you though
i literally just imagine him going up to people like “ :))))) ??? ” when people try flirting with you LMAO
like ?? no ??? they’re ??? mine ????
not ???????? yours ??????
he’ll have that chilling ring in his voice that’s deadpan but menacing at the same time — sometimes he even scares you with it
you had a run in with tooru at the preliminaries , RIP bless his soul
you went to go watch a match while karasuno was resting ; seijoh was resting at the same time
he got a little too close for comfort in the audience stand
flashed you a famous smile of his , “ what’s a cutie like you doing here alone ? ”
“ she’s not alone , actually . ”
KFKKDKFKFKD both of your heads went a whole 180 at the sound of koushi’s voice
oh no he had that creepy smile again
“ baby , we were just looking for you . is oikawa bothering you ? ”
he turned his :) to tooru , who had already stepped a decent distance away from you
“ heaven forbid you’d be bothering y/n , oikawa , when you have a whole fanbase of girls you could be bothering instead . ”
the great king had never been so scared of a karasuno player in his life
he left in a hurry without saying much — though he was grumbling something you two couldn’t understand
switch from scary suga to soft suga uwu
he wrapped his arms around you and grinned pleasantly this time as he hugged you
“ sweetheart , don’t hesitate to tell me if anyone else is like that to you , okay ? i’ll make them go away . ”
“ koushi , you’re so scary when you’re angry ”
“ i am ? i didn’t think i was ”
“ look at how oikawa backed away when you came up ! hardly anyone can phase him ”
“ oh . maybe i am scary , but only when it comes to you . ”
he laughed and took you by the hand , and you two walked back to the rest of the team
scary suga never fails to keep the nasty boogers away
asahi azumane
he won’t even realize he’s jealous until someone points it out to him
i think nishi would be the one to point it out to him , because woah asahi looks mad
“ yo , asahi ? you good ? your knuckles are turning white ! ”
he’s been looking your direction ever since the date tech players started surrounding you , striking up conversation
he didn’t even realize yuu was talking to him until he literally had to jump up and wave in his face
asahi snapped out of it once noya caught his attention — his fists were still clenched tho
“ oh — noya . i’m fine , why ? ”
the libero didn’t buy it one bit because he didn’t know the ace even had it in him to be angry
he looked to where asahi had his eyes on the whole time before turning back to the third year with a smirk
“ you’re gonna let them just flirt with y/n like that ? what kind of boyfriend are you ? go go go ! ”
oh no yuu what did you do
“ they’re flirting with y/n ? ”
he was f u r i o u s at the thought of it
oh no no no they were not going to be flirting with you , not while asahi was your boyfriend no sir
he stormed over towards you — your back was towards karasuno so the date tech players noticed him first
asahi + scary dark death glare = run
and the date tech players — besides aone — did just that , scampering off in a hurry
you were confused until you turned around , smiling when you saw your giant teddy bear of a boyfriend
you were utterly oblivious to the stare down between him and aone
“ asahi ! shouldn’t you be practicing now ? ”
he placed a gentle but firm arm around your waist , pulling you closer to him without taking his eyes off date tech’s ace
“ yeah , but we were looking for you . i’ve come to bring you back , y/n . ”
oh heck yeah there was tension as he brought you back to your guys’ court
“ those players weren’t flirting with you , were they y/n ? ”
“ huh ? oh no ! i was just catching up with a couple of them , since i went to middle school with some of them . why ? ”
“ oh , nothing ”
you couldn’t even ask him anything else as he walked away without another word , which was very not like him
you had to get the answer from nishinoya later on , who was laughing hysterically at your description of the way your boyfriend was acting
“ OMG Y/N HE REALLY WAS JEALOUS , I TOLD HIM THAT DATE TECH WAS FLIRTING WITH YOU I CANT BELIEVE HE BELIEVED ME ”
after the tournament both of you were blubbering apologies to each other
you apologizing for making asahi jealous
and asahi apologizing for acting like a brat about it
in summary , asahi + jealousy = pls save yourself from that man he is terrifying
he’ll make it up to you with tons n tons of cuddles later so he’s still your big teddy bear <3

Hi! I’m sorry you’re getting shitty anons about this and you’re probably sick of it so I apologise for asking this but I’m genuinely curious what made you start actively disliking zutara? Like, considering how much excellent and insightful content/meta you yourself used to make/write? I get that interests change over time and you’re totally valid!! the anons sending you hate over it are really dumb, but if you’d be ok with sharing, I’d be really interested in hearing why you’ve done almost a complete 180 on the ship? Was is just burnout/end of a hyper-obsession? Or was it some of us in the rest of the fandom that turned you off? Or was it even something about the ship/characters themselves that you changed your mind about? xx
In short, it was a combination of burnout, dissatisfaction with fandom, and disappointment in myself that caused my disinterest for Zvtara.
I got asks similar to this one a couple of times before, but I never gave a comprehensive answer, mainly because I didn't know how to articulate my reasons why I don't like it anymore. But now that I've been out of ZK fandom for a month and have had some time to reflect, I think I can give a much more thorough response. Beware, this is long and I heavily critique the Zvtara fandom, so if you're a ZK shipper, keep reading at your own risk.
My first minor annoyance with Zvtara is that the fandom has a tendency to idolize certain fics and creators. And while there’s certainly nothing inherently wrong about that, I feel like the Zvtara fandom does it to such an extent that it influences the type of content that content creators make in order to get recognition. And to illustrate my point, I’m going to talk about one of the most famous Zvtara fics of all time: Once Around The Sun by eleventy7.
Don’t get me wrong, I love OATS. I think it’s a great fanfic and I think the author devoted a lot of time and effort to make it such an excellent fic. The plot, the development of the characters and their relationships to one other, and the messages about family and love were all brilliantly written. I mean, there is a reason why it’s regarded as the “Zvtara Bible”. This one fanfic had such a profound impact upon the ZK fandom, and I think the biggest impact that came from it is the dramatic influx of post-war Zvtara AU fanfiction. 
Because so many people kept reading OATS and recommending it to others, I think there was an overall interest in ZK fics that take place in a post-war setting. And I think that all of the high praise towards OATS made more fic writers start to write post-war fanfics because of this demand for post-war AU.* I normally wouldn't complain about it because more content is more content, but in my opinion, 99% of ZK post-war fics are the same fic but in different fonts.
Like, there's at least 3 of these elements in every ZK post-war fanfic:
Ambassador Katara
An assassination attempt (usually on Zuko's life)
A healing scene between Zuko and Katara (usually Katara heals Zuko)
Aang and/or Mai is pushed to the side or vilified to some extent in order to make ZK happen
A private journey between Zuko and Katara to facilitate #6
S L O W B U R N (that's not really slowburn and more like "I love you and I very much want to be vocal about my feelings but #7 is in this fic" but the love story takes up like 30 chapters so I guess it's a slowburn?)
Zuko's advisers don't want him to get married to Katara because ✨racism✨
Ursa is found
Azula is in the fic because a) she's going to get a healing arc ft. Zuko and Katara and thereby helps them get together or b) she's the villain and thereby helps them get together
ZK wedding happens in the FN
After reading multiple post-war fics back to back, I could tell that the format was pretty much the same across the board, which isn't very interesting for me to read. My only other fic options in the Zvtara tag on AO3 are canon divergence fics which almost always take place during The Crossroads of Destiny or after The Southern Raiders. And to some extent, those stories are pretty much the same too. There's nothing really new or creative going on in the ZK fandom fic-wise, and because of that, my interest in ZK fandom started to dwindle.
My second issue with Zvtara is that it's a very old ship from a very old show. Because there's been 10+ years since the end of A:TLA, every nuanced point about shipping and the show itself have been talked to death.** There's just nothing new to say. It's the same arguments being rehashed over and over again in the tag because there's no other interpretation one can come up with.
For example, there's so many people who talk about why Zvtara as depicted in The Southern Raiders is not toxic and that's great and all, but I (and most likely many others) have read those same points about five times already. And for some reason, each time this happens, people act like someone just discovered the lost city of Atlantis when they bring up their new-but-not-new argument in defense of Zvtara. Honestly, I'm ashamed to say that I'm not exempt from being part of the group of people that reiterate old arguments. I've done it with one of my posts about The Southern Raiders and I've done it again with my Zutara/Omashu parallels post.
There's no new content to really dissect and analyze (especially considering Zuko and Katara are rarely in the same panel in any of the post-war comics), and because of this, people are just restating points that someone else made several years ago.*** And even if someone did have a different interpretation of an episode, their ideas would most likely be shut down because for the past several years, the same interpretation has been recycled through the fandom repeatedly and people are resistant to new perspectives.
This brings me to the third thing that I dislike about Zvtara: the insistence that there can only be one way to interpret The Southern Raiders. For the longest time, I've read take after take that said if Katara decided to kill Yon Rha, it would be ok because that's her grief to deal with and if she thinks that's the best way to mete out justice, then good for her. And again, I'm ashamed to say that I perpetuated that idea in a few of my own posts. I have always thought that "Katara killing Yon Rha is ok" is just a bad take in general, but I didn't want to vocalize that opinion when so many people—so many of the nice mutuals that I made—all shared that same opinion. Taking down a popular opinion of your own ship is completely different from taking down a popular opinion of a ship that you dislike. The Zvtara fandom is the first fandom that I was actually active in and I wanted to fit in so badly with everyone else that I just parroted whatever other people said, even if I didn't agree with those sentiments.
This leads me to my final reason why I don't want to be a part of ZK fandom anymore. I think I established myself as a "meta" person pretty early on and because of that, I constantly felt pressured to come up with new takes on the ship. And when people started flooding my ask box with stuff like "Can you write a meta about your thoughts on the idea that 'Zuko only took Katara on that field trip in TSR because he wanted her to forgive him'?" and "What are your thoughts about antis saying Zuko and Katara are toxic because of TSR?", I realized that I don't need to come up with new takes. People just want me to paraphrase something that 10 other people said about the same exact topic, because if I said what I actually thought about the subject (i.e. there is some truth in what antis say about TSR and it's not as much of a "Zvtara episode" that most people make it out to be), I'd probably get ZK shippers in the replies telling me that I'm wrong because x, y, and z or "you shouldn't tag this as Zvtara".
And that was pretty much how my love for ZK turned into disinterest. I was and still am disappointed that I didn't stick to my personal opinions. For as much as I talk about herd mentality on Twitter, I certainly don't practice what I preach. In all honesty, the only reason why I held on so long to ZK fandom was because I had so many nice mutuals there and we all shared this collective distaste for antis. I think I started to become more anti-Zvkka and anti-Kataang than pro-Zvtara, which isn't what I wanted to do when I made this Tumblr blog.
The thing that made me joke about becoming anti-Zvtara was the fact that some ZK shippers just like to send shitty anons to people whom they've reblogged countless different metas from. Sending shitty anons to people in the first place is wrong, but sending them to people who tagged their posts correctly and did nothing wrong is just disgusting.
*I'm not a fic writer and can't speak for fic writers, but it definitely feels like a lot of ZK fic authors are pushing themselves to write the next OATS, and by doing so, they are proliferating the tag with post-war fics that have very similar aspects to OATS.
**I think that as more people point out the same nuanced points about Zvtara, it diminishes the actual significance of those points. Like, it's hard to explain but the more people talk about the subtleties of the ship, the more those parts become glaringly obvious and I become numb to their actual impact on the characters and the show.
***At this point, if someone wanted to make a new argument about Zvtara, I think they would have to look very closely at every little detail in every single one of their scenes together to find a crumb of new meta material. And speaking from experience, it's not very fun trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Whenever I post a "meta" like that, I feel like I'm reaching to make a point that doesn't exist.

What kind of boyfriends are they ? Cursed edition
Author note : Hello ! I hope you’re doing well ♡ I’m super happy to be able to post again, I still need to practice a little bit tell me what you think about this one. I plan to create another série “what kind of significant other are they” but for a lot of fandoms ♡. 
Warning : Some spoilers / Just me fangirling over my crush 
i do not own those gifs credit to the owners 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The weeping monk aka Lancelot 
Attentive : he tends to be quiet but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t notice. He used to analyze everything in order to catch fey or to fight properly and he uses this quality in your relationship. Meaning he will always know when you are down when you are angry or when you’re lying to him. 
Because he knows that he tries his best to act the proper way in order to help you going through what ever bother you. However despite his sensitive nature, he took him a long time and a lot of works to be able to express his feelings. He was raised to be a weapon to be a man, not some Childs who cried over. Be patient with him it’ll worth it. 
Collected : most of people believe that it’s a cursed  but with him it’s actually a good thing, because he is not very loud, fight are non-existent. 
Not because he doesn’t feel angry (he does) but he wasn’t raised to express his emotion or worst let them take the best of him. He is monk so he knows better than falling for wrath. It took a lot to actually make him angry. In the meantime, being quiet means he is pretty good listener and because of that he alway knows what to do when you’re about to start a fight : because he could remember what you say earlier etc. Since he is attentive when it came to you, it’s all benefit for you. 
Kind : there litteraly nothing he won’t do for you. Not kidding this little baby is touch-starved and he can’t help but thank every divinity fey or not for giving such a wonderful S/O as you are. 
He knows he can be harsh and sometimes he can hurt you with his words, he knows he isn’t very comfortable with physical affection. But he is trying. Because of that he will always take care of you as much as possible, and will always reminds you how much he loves you by small gesture. 
The first time you saw him running into you ready to kill every man and then taking you into a safe place. You knew he was in love and that he cared about you. Most of the time he manifests his love to you by small gesture, a little flower on your desk the next morning, your favorite hot drink, a book that you might be into. Anything who appears to be small gesture but means a lot for you. 
Protective : as I mentionned before, he won’t hesitate to kill anyone who might bother you. For him you far too precious for this world, you’re bringing him peace, your his heaven and there no way someone would take you away from him.
Besides no matter how hard you tried, he still believes that you need protection because the whole world is insane and you’re not ready for that. He also knows that he get a lot of ennemies because of what he did, so he has to be near just in case. No matter how hard you tried, he would always ask you to be careful (and would always have his eyes on you just to be sure). He is aware that betraying the church would give him a lot of ennemies who might try to take you away as an hostage. 
Jealous : he is a possessive man fight me on this. I can see him sending death glare at everyone who might look at you for too long. 
This jealousy came from différents things : First since he is a touch starved baby he wants all your attention on him, he doesn’t want someone to enjoy what he should be the one to experiment. Second he knows that you are out of his league, he doesn’t deserve you you’re a whole light while he is nothing but a shadow. He was blessed by your love for him and there no way he would share this. Third, I can picture him as a primal man, no matter how hard he works to be a monk a good believer, I’m pretty sure deep down there is an alpha.
Tumblr media
The green knight Aka Gawain 
Emotional : he might be a strong soldier, one of the best fey’s protector this man is a huge teddy bear. I’m pretty sure he is always touching his S/O : taking their hands, hugs them, kiss them. It’s written on his face he is clingy fight me on this. 
In addition I believe he is pretty sensitive and might feel when something is wrong with you. Each time something happen he will always be here reminding you that he is here, nothing is going to happen, you’re going to be fine. He is pretty easy to read actually although he claims that he can keep secret and anything (which is true) he can’t lie to you. You just have a power on him, he get overwhelmed everytime you’re here. So if he is hiding something all you have to do is to look at him right into his eyes and he would give up. 
Protective : not a surprise. He probably lost his whole family and some of his friends as well so he won’t let something happen to you. 
He might be even difficult than Lancelot, because he can be pretty bossy (especially because he works a lot as a leader) , he will order you to stay at your place and to not leave until it’s very necessary (meaning someone is in your house and you need to run away otherwise it’s never necessary for him). He just can’t loose you, it will break him. Also he tends to be distracted because fo you, you just had this power on him.  
Loving : As I said before the man is clingy, but it’s more than : his eyes are screaming « I love Y/N ». He sweats love. I can’t explain he is vibing his love. 
That’s why he is always close to you, always holding your hand, always kissing you (his kiss my god deep and slow to appreciate every second of it the type to take your breath away). When this man loves he L O V E S. When you’re in private he tends to be pretty clumsy which tends to get well... deeper when you two get intimate. Even when you’re not around people can tell when is thinking about you (99% of the time honestly) I won’t be surprised he is the worship type. 
Romantic : I don’t know he just seems to be the kind of man of taking you into a wood walking together until finding a cute little spot with a river or something. Since he is a fey he feels pretty close to earth in general. He is always spoiling you with meaning gift, like a flower who is supposed to represent love, buying you the book you were always talking about.
Maybe this is just me, but I can totally see him doing those kind of things like dancing with you while looking tenderly at you, always showing you off, writing you letter or anything. He spoils you a lot, anytime he gets the chance to buy something he knows you put interest on he would buy without a second thought. Since he is a fey, he is closed to the nature so he might even craft you something like a flower crown or anything. 
Passionate : I told you when he loves he loves, meaning everything he will do to you, he will do it while being 100% focused on you. He wants to cherish you, praises you, makes you feel like you’re a goddes in every way. 
I said his kiss would take your breath away but so does his smile or his caress, he does with such an intensity. No man had treated you like this before. During intimate moment, he would always whisper sweet things into your ear, worship your body as if you were a divinity. At the end of your session you can’t feel unloved that’s absolutely impossible. 
Tumblr media
Merlin 
Tease : that’s how he flirts that’s how he seduces that’s how he shows you he loves you. Although he never does this to be mean, he can’t help but giggle at seeing you being all red from embarrassment or because you’re angry at him. 
Most of the time it’s a cute teasing, but when he wants to fluster you he won’t hesitate to use his skilled tongue to tease the hell out of you until you’re practically begging at him for his attention. Of course he will oblige. It’s just so natural for him that he would do it without even realize that he was teasing you. Most of the time it’s all planned, so he can get your attention without asking you to (he is so proud I swear). 
Jealous : okay so Lancelot is jealous in the primal way but Merlin is on another level. He wants you to be his, he wants everyone to know that you’re taken and he won’t tolerate someone flirting with you or even staring at you. 
Unlike Lancelot, Merlin won’t bother sending death glare instead he will fight them : using his power to trick them or using his silver tongue to make them feel like there nothing. Remember that scene with Lenore ? Where her future husband was talking shit about her ? All he wanted was to throw him a spell. Best believe he would the same to anyone who might be to close to you. You belong to Merlin and only him, also don’t expect him to be kind when you two would be at home after the incident. 
Loving : we saw the way he was looking at Lenore, this man like Gawain vibes love. It’s just written on his face, sometimes it’s cursed cause he is alway afraid someone might use you against him. 
But 99% of the time it’s a blessing, Merlin during his long life has experimented every aspect of love sexual or not. So he knows how to please you, he knows how to caress you, how to kiss you, and he is sucker of your reaction each of them are a piece of heaven for him. He is not as passionate as the green knight but you best believe that every inch of your skin would feel loved (and he doesn’t need to have you under him to do that). He has his way to look at you, anyone even people who never meet him before would noticed how he is into you. 
Secretive : because he loves you and would die for you. He tends to keep a lot of things for himself not that he doesn’t trust you, but in his mind the less you know the better. It’s always a matter of what to do to protect Y/N.
So yeah he would have a secret but will never lie to you, that’s something he can’t do to you. Besides he doesn’t need that he get a pretty skilled tongue and knows what to do to bring another subject instead of answering your question. Since he tends to tease you a lot, all he has to do is to tease you so he would be able to change the subject. At some points you would notice his behavior but since he does that all the time you understood that he might keeps so secret between you two which make you sad. Maybe one day you’ll confront him about it ? 
Shy : believe it or not, but the man still feels some butterflies on his stomach every times he sees you. That’s what make him shy. Because he knows he is falling in love but love can be tricky or dangerous so he is a bit afraid besides he knows he gets some reputation. 
So yeah sometimes he is flustered when he hear you laughing or just sees you smile at him.  He takes him time to admit that he is into you but once he admits it, this shyness will leave for a more playful Merlin.  He was with a lot of people during his life, but he tends to got shy everytime you’re acting “innocent”. When you’re taking him on a walk enjoying any treasure that you got from nature, or just enjoying the simple. One day you were in a city, and some bards where playing around you couldn't help but take his hand to dance with him. That spontaneity never failed to make him feel like a teenager living is first love.

Relationships: Lars & Rose Quartz, Lars & Steven
Characters: Lars Barriga, Rose Quartz (Pink Diamond), Martha Barriga, Dante Barriga, Steven Quartz Universe; other characters are only mentioned
Summary: “Hm… I don’t think that’s a problem,” the pink-haired lady tells him. “You can always change your name whenever you feel like it.”
The boy looks up, meeting her shining black eyes. “I can?”
Rose grins at him. “You’re always growing and changing… and I think your name is the perfect way to show that, even if no one gets it. It’s what makes you happy. Isn’t that so?”
He’s quiet for maybe a minute, thinking about what she said.
“Yeah… you’re right,” he says, finally.
“So,” Rose speaks up again. “what’s your name?”

At the age of four, Laramie is already pretty lost. That changes when he finds a really beautiful garden one day.

AO3
A/N: I remember way back then when people had the idea of Lars meeting Rose before the events of the show, and although this might contradict canon, I’m all for this concept!
I do hope I wrote Rose well, and I’m still getting in the hang of writing child characters, lmao... well, enjoy anyway!
TRIGGER WARNINGS - implied character death and bullying
--
Laramie doesn’t like school.
If anything, he’s sure most kids don’t… but his reason isn’t the same as theirs. As far as he’s concerned, they’re not left alone like he is during recess. Or even during class.
Laramie is only four – almost five – and he’s got a corner of his own, near the small woods. The teachers say he’s not allowed, but honestly, they don’t seem to care when he goes there.
That’s how it is. They don’t care about him. His classmates never invite him to join them, and when he does try, they avoid him like the plague. Like he’s got some dirt on his face or something. Or maybe his face is the dirt they don’t like.
And well, that’s how he ended up here. In the woods. They’re not scary like his teachers say; they’re really small. Harmless. It doesn’t take that long for him to find another way out in the opposite direction.
What he finds, though… is a place he’s never seen before.
It’s a huge garden with pink flowers blooming. This place looks so… dreamy. Like some kind of paradise. It’s very pretty.
Laramie is careful with the flowers as he walks in. Is this what his teachers have been hiding? Or have they never thought of going in there, judging only by the woods behind him? Because that’d be dumb.
The boy looks down, the flowers staring back. Laramie looks around, wondering if this garden belongs to anyone… but it doesn’t seem like anyone’s here, and there isn’t a house nearby. So, he sits down, and for some reason that feels really good. This does feel like paradise.
This might be his new little corner. It’s so far from everything, from school, his teachers, the other kids… it’s perfect.
Laramie smiles for maybe the first time in a while (“now Laramie, you should smile more!” He remembers his teacher say, much to his internal annoyance). He doesn’t care about anything at all right now.
… well, before he hears someone coming.
“I see you like my garden.”
Laramie shrieks, turning around and finding… the tallest woman he’s seen. She’s got pink hair, huge curls falling on her shoulders. She’s wearing a long white dress with a star shape in her belly.
“S-Sorry! I didn’t know anyone owned it!” Laramie blurts out. She doesn’t seem annoyed, though.
“It’s okay,” she laughs silently, “it’s nice to have some company.”
Her voice is so… soft. You’d think his mother was sweet like candy, well, this woman manages to beat his own mom in that.
The woman sits next to him, though not that close, which he likes. Laramie just isn’t good at talking to people, least of all a woman so nice and pretty… her presence is as relaxing as the flowery ground under him.
Laramie can’t really help staring. He knows it isn’t polite, but there’s something about her… something different.
When she looks at him back, though, Laramie looks away the fastest he can. He can tell she’s smiling, anyway.
“Where are you from?” She asks.
“O-Oh, um. I’m from… here. I-I mean, Beach City.” Laramie wants to punch himself, stupid, stupid. “And you?”
The woman hums. “I’ve come from very far… far away from this place.”
“How did you get here?”
“Oh, that’s a very long story,” she responds, her smile… falling a little. She soon recovers, “What matters, though… is that I’m here now. I’m home.”
Laramie nods and doesn’t ask about it anymore.
“How did you get your flowers to grow?” He wonders instead.
“What if I told you it’s magic?”
Laramie raises an eyebrow. “Really?”
She nods with a smile. “Would you like to see it?”
“Uh, yeah?” He says like it’s obvious, but not in a rude way, he hopes. She seems to like it, anyway.
She picks up what seems like a bunch of leaves and kisses them, sparkles coming out. Right then, Laramie gasps at the pink flower in her hands.
“Woah! How’d you do that?”
“Magic,” she repeats, amused.
“Cooool…”
She gives him the flower and he admires it. It is different from other flowers, though. In the center of the petals, there’s…
“… a gem?”
The woman hums. “It’s unlike what you’ve seen before, isn’t it?”
“Yeah…”
“Did you know, I’m still inspired by all the other flowers you’ve got in your home. They’re why I’ve created this place.” She smiles both at the flower and the young boy. “You have a very beautiful home.”
Laramie holds it like it’s a treasure, worth so much that not even money can count. When he looks at the woman again, he does notice the… pink stone in her belly, too.
“What’s that?” He points at it. “Is that where your magic comes from?”
“Yes.” She touches her own belly lovingly. He looks at it, too.
“Wait…” he jumps away in alarm. “Is it moving?!”
The woman laughs. “That’s actually my son!”
“Oh.” Laramie blushes. He scoots closer again. “You’re having a kid?”
“Mm-hmm. He’ll come very soon.”
“That’s, uh, neat.”
She looks at her own belly like she loves her child so much, even before he’s really there. “I can’t wait for him to be born. For him to explore and fall in love with this world like I did…” she speaks, “and for him to make friends with someone as sweet as you.”
“W-What?” Laramie stutters. “Y-You really… mean that?”
She nods again. The woman isn’t messing with him. Every word she says is honest and comes from her heart. Besides his parents, she’s… the only person who’s ever enjoyed being around him.
“Hey, uh… what’s your name?” Laramie asks, realizing he hasn’t before.
“You can call me Rose,” she says. “And what is yours?”
His joy disappears in a second, and he looks away, so she doesn’t see his frown.
“What’s wrong?” Rose wonders, concerned.
Laramie doesn’t really like talking about it. Not even with Mom and Dad… but even if he’s just met Rose, she’s been nothing but nice with him. It’s really the least he could do.
“I don’t… really like my name,” he admits. “It doesn’t feel right.” He scoffs at himself, “Ugh, I know, it doesn’t make sense.”
“Oh, no, I understand what you mean,” she reassures him. “It doesn’t fit you, right?”
“Yeah.” He sighs, looking at the flower, its petals moving with the breeze. “I can’t really be myself, so I just hide from everyone… but I want to go out there and be me, y’know? And I’m not gonna do that with a name as lame as mine!” He exclaims.
Rose doesn’t interrupt him at all. She listens all the way through, and she knows he has more to say.
“I wish I could change it… but no one would get it,” the boy complains. “No one really gets me, anyway,” he mutters in his breath.
“Hm… I don’t think that’s a problem,” the pink-haired lady tells him. “You can always change your name whenever you feel like it.”
The boy looks up, meeting her shining black eyes. “I can?”
Rose grins at him. “You’re always growing and changing… and I think your name is the perfect way to show that, even if no one gets it. It’s what makes you happy. Isn’t that so?”
He’s quiet for maybe a minute, thinking about what she said.
“Yeah… you’re right,” he says, finally.
“So,” Rose speaks up again. “what’s your name?”
It’s a simple question, but Laramie gets what she means.
He’s never had the gut to really say the answer… but now, now might be just the time he stopped being a coward and dealt with it.
Laramie opens his mouth.
--
“… ‘Lars’?”
“Yeah, it’s my name now! You can call me Lars from now on!” The boy claims, his stance firm and tough.
Mom and Dad stare at him like he’s hit his head hard and forgot everything. Then his mother giggles affectionately.
“Oh, Laramie, you’re so creative,” she says. “What a great nickname!”
“It’s not a nickname, mom!” Lars protests. “Like, I know you guys have other names, but you want me to call you Mom and Dad. So, I want you to call me Lars!”
“Right, son. Whatever makes you happy,” his dad tells him. Lars can tell he finds it cute, too, which is the opposite of what the boy really wants.
“Now, go take a shower, sweetie,” Mom says. “You seem like you had a pretty big adventure today.”
“Yes, mom,” the boy answers with a sigh, walking to the stairs.
“And please do your homework when you’re done, Laramie!” Dad says from afar.
“It’s Lars, dad!” Lars yells back, quickly rushing to the bathroom.
Yeah, he should’ve expected that. Of course his parents wouldn’t get it… But Lars is a pretty cool name, though.
The boy takes the pink flower from his pocket and puts it on the sink, smiling at it before he gets in the shower.
--
He doesn’t know why he’s got into this.
Steven wants to take him and Sadie on a vacation, because sure. Why not?
So, they’re inside Steven’s house, which is pretty big. Inside there’s a pretty stony place, probably because of that giant statue. There’s also a platform guarding a big door in there.
“You’ve got a nice house, Steven,” Sadie compliments.
“Thank you,” Steven grins. “Now come on, the warp pad is this way! Get ready to have your jaws dropped!”
Lars sighs, staying behind while Sadie and Steven go ahead. He does look around. If you take away that warp thing and the statue, it’s a pretty standard beach house. It does seem like Steven doesn’t have a bedroom of his own, though…
Once Lars takes a glimpse behind him, he’s… stunned, to say the least.
It’s a pretty big painting on the wall, just above the front door. It’s a portrait of a beautiful pink-haired woman, whose eyes are closed. Her hair and dress flow like she’s floating in clouds, fully at peace.
Lars doesn’t know why, but something about her is…
“Hey, Lars, you coming?”
Steven’s loud voice takes him off guard, and Lars tries his best to disguise the feeling, “Uh, yeah, sure. Whatever.”
“Oh, that’s my mom,” Steven tells him, knowing very well he’d been staring at the painting like a creep. “She’s pretty, right?”
“Your mom?” Lars repeats.
He tries to suppress the shame from when he’d insulted Steven’s mother not too long ago. It really seemed like a tough topic to the kid, and while Lars hasn’t verbally apologized, he’s been thoughtful of not disrespecting Steven’s mom again. Lars didn’t know her, after all.
Either way, she does look… divine in that portrait. He remembers Steven saying that she saw beauty in everything, and even in the painting you can probably see that.
It’s… he doesn’t know how to word that. Lars can say, though, that the painting awes him.
“Come on, Lars! We have a vacation to get to!” Steven pulls him out of his thoughts.
The older boy sighs exasperatedly. Lars doesn’t have a choice now, does he?
For once, he follows Steven in that weird “warp pad”, really not sure how the hell they’d get anywhere. But sure, he’ll let Steven do his thing.
Lars does take one last look at the painting, before the three of them are gone in thin air.
--
After that day, he went back to visit Rose.
But she wasn’t there.
He went there the day after that, and she was still nowhere to be seen. And every other day after that.
He could only wonder where she was. Maybe she travelled? Or moved away from Beach City?
The garden stayed the same, but Lars never saw the woman again. He didn’t even have the chance to really say goodbye to her… or thank her at all.
Regardless, the flowers stayed. In a way, Lars could feel her presence there with him.
The garden became a little home of his own.

Tumblr media
By the time you woke up your head was pounding and your mouth was dry, your ankles and wrists chafing against the ropes that tied you to a beam in the room you were in, where ever that was. You weren’t sure how long you’d been out, but as your eyes slowly focused in on your surroundings you noticed a small window on the opposite side of the room you were in, the night sky partially visible through a crack in the newspaper that had been used to cover it up.
This was bad, very bad, you thought, panicking as you tried to desperately to free yourself from your restraints, which actually seemed to do more harm than good. Taking a very shaky breath you tried to focus, breathing in and out of your nose slowly...
This had happened before, it had all happened exactly like this before. Only, this time, you weren’t alone in the dark.
When your vision began to focus and the roaring in your ears subsided slightly, you saw a figure out the corner of your eyes, looking to see Lily. Your breath immediately caught in your throat; she was as pale as a ghost, eyes red and face wet with tears and snot. 
“Lily,” you whispered, drawing her eyes to you from where they had been fixed in the distance. She looked to you, shaking uncontrollably, but you saw it then, something in her eyes. Hope? Did she think you were going to help her? 
You were, you were supposed to help her, that’s why you came here in the first place. Breath Y/N, you told yourself, focus, think, you needed to stay under control for her sake. “Hey Lily, where’s Paul? Where’s your dad?” You asked her as calmly as you could, not wanting to alarm her anymore than she was, if that was even possible.
She opened her mouth to reply when the door to the basement banged open, making you both jump as a man stormed down the stairs. He was erratic, mumbling to himself as he waved around a gun, pacing as he reached the bottom of the stairs and ignoring you both completely. 
“No supposed to happen like this... all her fault...” you caught him say, “all your fault, all Jennifer’s fault!” He aimed the gun at Lily, raising his voice as she flinched back as far as she could while restrained. 
“Hey!” You snapped at him, unsure of where such a steady and powerful voice came from inside of you as Paul jumped, apparently only just realising that you were also in the room. “Do not point that gun at her,” you demanded, catching him off guard as he looked between the weapon and his daughter, a moment’s pause gone as quickly as it came as he turned it to you instead. Far from ideal, but the better alternative.
“Listen to me, I’m a firefighter, okay and my brother Jay he’s a cop, he could help-” you began, rambling slightly, not really thinking about what you were saying as you tried to convince him to put the gun down.
Mention Jay seemed to be a bad idea, you realised it the second the words were out of your mouth, Paul’s grip tightening on the gun as he eyes flared with panic. “Cop, cop, no, no cops...” he repeated, very much appearing to have had some kind of mental break. Could he even be reasoned with?
Looking around as he began pacing again, more on edge than before, you noticed the canisters of kerosene along the wall by the stairs; he was going to burn this place down, with you and Lily in it.
“Shut up! Just shut up and let me think!” Paul yelled at a still crying Lily, and outburst that only made her cry harder.
“That’s enough, she’s a kid for god’s sake, your kid,” you tried, grating your teeth and hating how powerless you felt. You’d failed her hadn’t you? 
“We were happy before she came, she isn’t even mine, she ruined everything...” he told you, his logic making absolutely no sense to you. Still, you had to try and get on his level if you had any chance of de-escalating the situation. You’d learned that much from Jay at least.
“Okay, but how is that Lily’s fault? She did do anything, you don’t have to do this, it’s not too late,” you took a shaky breath as his eyes flicked towards the cannisters, only half listening to what you were saying. His mind had been made up when he lit that first fire, maybe even before then, it was like reasoning with a brick wall.
“Yes, yes it is,” he said with way too much conviction.
“No, wait, let’s talk about this,” you tried desperately, pulling on your restraints in vain as he wandered towards the cannisters, gun now slack at his side. 
That was when you caught it, a sharp pain in your hand as you winced, moving your hands slower to feel a now wet nail sticking out of the beam you were tied to. Your hand was bleeding, but you could barely feel it, shifting slightly so that the nail was rubbing against your restraints. Stall, a voice in your head screamed, stall.
“Talk? So you can buy time until your boyfriend can come save you?” Paul laughed in a vaguely unhinged sort of way, thankfully not noticing the confusion on your face as he continued, “is that who you were calling? Because it didn’t say - what was that name? Jay? - on your phone screen.”
You schooled your features as much as you could before he could turn around and wait for your answer. Matt. You’d called Matt. He’d know, he’d know you were in trouble, right? You hoped he would, he had to suspect you wouldn’t have gone straight home, and that that call was strange. 
Stall. You worked through the aching in your wrist, the nail catching your flesh more than once as you powered through, working the rope with everything you had.
“No, I mean, yes, my boyfriend, but he has nothing to do with this, I swear-” you hoped that sounded convincing. You’d already made the mistake of mentioning your cop brother, but if you told him you’d had a fire captain o nthe other end of the line you didn’t know how he’d react. You had to put all your faith in Casey right now, hoping to hear sirens at any moment.
“Daddy...” Lily sobbed, voice small and strained, raw from the crying as she tried to get her dad to look at her, but even when he glanced in her direction, he never met her eye. Your heart was breaking even more than you thought was possibly, stabbing pains shooting through you like the nail in your hand, but you persevered, your sheer anger and stubborn determination numbing the pain and quietening your own panic and fear.
“I have to do this, have to do this now,” he seemed to decide, nodding to himself as he put the gun in his waist band, your eyes draw to him as you worked at the rope, you were so, so close... But not close enough.
Paul took a couple of cannisters at a time, opening the caps and dumping them all over the floor, your feet jerking back as the strong smelling liquid splashed near you. “No, no, please you don’t have to do this,” you begged him.
“It’s done, I’ll finally have justice,” Paul said, your nostrils flaring in rage as you tugged harder at the ropes, your blood on them making them harder to keep steady.  Bastard, you growled to yourself
Paul turned without another word, taking the final cannister and pouring it up the stairs behind him. He took a packet of matches out of his pocket once he reached the top, the first attempt at striking it snapping the match.
Your mind was tugging you back to that other basement then, your senses slipping there too as your vision doubled and the all too familiar smell of kerosene filled your lungs. You’d cheated death once, and now he was coming to collect...
“Daddy please!” Lily cried out, cutting through you like a knife, hauling you back to the present as you willed yourself to focus, scrunching your hand into a fist. You dug your nails into the large cut on your palm, the pain keeping you tethered to reality as the second match flared to life. 
Then, well, then everything happened so fast you could barely process it. Your hands snapped free of the ropes just as the match fell from Paul’s finger tips, the top of the stairs lighting immediately as you clamoured towards Lily, ignoring the pain as you forced her restraints free. 
You looked to the already fast approaching fire as Lily stood, grabbing your leg with her arm and hugging you tightly. You didn’t have long, you knew, the poorly ventilated room already filling with smoke. 
There was only one this for it, you realised, what Casey would probably call your Halstead instinct kicking is as you threw off your jacket. “Lily, Lily look at me,” you said hurriedly, crouching down and wrapping her in it so it was over as much of her body and head as you could make it, her terrified eyes meeting yours. “I’m going to pick you up okay? Whatever you do, keep your head in my shoulder and do not let go, okay?”
She nodded quickly, sensing the urgency as you drew her into your arms, her small ones wrapping around you. There were no good option, but Lily had the best chance this way, and she mattered more. 
Here goes everything, you allowed yourself a split second to prepare yourself, and then you ran.
The stairs were still standing, for now, but they wouldn’t be for long, the fire dancing down the railing and walls as you pushed yourself, step by step, you ran up the stairs. 
Paul hadn’t bothered to shut the basement door, why would he? So you bolted for it with everything you had, you body absolutely screaming at you in fear and pain as you maintained an iron grip on the child in your arms.
And then you were out on the otherside, stumbling but forcing yourself to keep steady as you oriented yourself, the fire still all around you. You put Lily down quickly, patting her down as well as yourself, making sure you weren’t on fire. 
You needed a door, or a window, you didn’t really care. Taking Lily’s hand you looked to her. “We’re going to run, okay?” She nodded, taking your hand with a vice like grip.
A noise to your left drew your attention, making your way down the hall, barely staying up right as the burning in your legs flared up your body. You looked down as you felt your feet nearly slip on a substance, more accelerant?
This had taken place over a matter of seconds, a minute at most, and Paul was still here. You found him in the main hall, pouring the final drops of a kerosene by the entrance. There was a moment, when your eyes locked, both of you realised the other one was right in front of you before either of you sprung into action. 
You’d dropped Lily’s hand at the same time as Paul had dropped the cannister, his hand reaching back for the gun you knew was in the back of his waistband. He was fast, but damn if you weren’t faster. 
The fire had reached up from the basement and into the hall, you wouldn’t have long before it connected with the kerosene currently soaking your shoes, and then this place would go up like an inferno. 
Paul had just pulled out his gun, drawing it around his side, when you reached him, catching his wrist before he could point it and slamming his hand back into the wall. He shoved you back, definitely having the upper hand in terms of strength. “You shouldn’t be here, this is all wrong,” he told you, taking a swing at you with his gun still in hand.
You ducked, the swing wide and uncontrolled as you threw a sharp punch in his gut, building on your momentum and his loss of balance to aim another tap into his throat, kicking him back straight afterwards into the opposite wall. 
“That might be the first thing we agree on,” you snarled, moving quickly as he tried to hit you again, his gun hand twisting around, a suprised cry of pain escaping his lips as you expertly flung him over your shoulder, wrist so twisted he lost his grip on the gun. 
Sure, he was stronger, but you were a Halstead. 
He hit his head on the wooden floor and went down, Lily’s cry drawing your attention as you noticed the smoke filling the hall. 
You kicked the gun away and released Paul, who didn’t appear to be getting up any time soon, rushing back to Lily and yanking her arm, dragging her away from where the fire was fast approaching you.
That’s when you heard it, that glorious sound that made you feel like your chest was cracking open in relief. Sirens. There were sirens approaching. 
Pulling Lily forward you both scrambled towards the exit, the fire reaching the kerosene on the hallway rug as it flared to life with new found direction, hungry to consume everything in it’s path. 
The front door was right there, you could make it. Throwing open the front door you practically pushed Lily out, nearly tripping as her feet met the concete, breath in fresh air. 
Police cars were coming down the street, as well as fire engines and an amulance. 51. 51 was here, and so was your brother you guessed. 
Fresh air hit your face as you took a breath of freedom, and then you paused. Something tugging at you deep inside. Looking back over your shoulder you saw Paul, still lying on the floor as the fire quickly approached, devouring everything in its path. 
It would be too late, you knew, by the time 51 had arrived and put on their gear, the fire would have consumed him. The fire that he’d let consume the lives of two other innocent people, the fire he’d tried to turn on his daughter repeatedly, the fire he’d tried to use to end you, too. 
Every fibre of your being was screaming at you to leave him, but you knew, you knew you couldn’t. So you ran back into the burning building, hearing Lily scream as you reached Paul, grabbing him under his shoulders and hauling his with as much strength as you could manage. 
You’d gotten him outside onto the porch as truck pulled up, Stella barely stopping, let alone putting it in park, before Casey jumped out the door, barrelling towards you with a sense of pure urgency,
“Y/N!” He yelled, practically crashing into you as you dropped Paul, who was just beginning to stir. His hands found your upper arms, looking you over and breathing heavily.
“I’m okay,” you tried to tell him, your breath ragged as he led you away from the burning house, two other firefighters and a paramedic coming to take Paul, along with three officers. 
“I was so worried, I thought...” he trailed off, unlistening, one hand going to the side of your head, still worried. 
“Casey... Matt, I’m fine, I’m alive,” you grabbed the hand on your face, giving it a squeeze as you saw relief wash through him. 
“Y/N!” A small voice called, Lily rushing towards you both and she wrapped you in a big hug, buring her face in you as Casey took a step back.
“I’m okay Lily, we’re both okay,” you knelt down, ignoring the pain in your legs as you wrapped her in a big hug, picking her up as Foster signaled you to bring her over to treat. 
Boden was already giving orders to truck, seeing that Casey was too preoccupied as he followed you and Lily to ambo 61, the air getting clearer as you passed the small girl over to your friend. Foster gave your hand a squeeze, nodding to you as you nodded back. 
As soon as she was out of your arms you nearly collapsed, Casey steadying you as you sit on the edge of the ambulance, signalling Sylvie to come check on you.
“Oh my god Y/N,” she gasped, grabbing her med back.
“I’m fine,” you repeated, but she shook her head.
“I’ll be the judge of that,” she said with an authority you weren’t going to argue with as exhaustion washed over you.
“How is she?” Casey asked Sylvie, eyes not leaving you.
“She needs to get to med, she has a potential concussion, serious burns on her legs and she definitely needs stiches on these,” Syvlie said, wrapping up your hands as you winced, coming down from the addrenaline that must have kicked in as you started to feel everything.
Casey opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted. “I’m riding with her,” a voice cut in, Jay, appearing at your side. Casey took a respectful step back as Jay gave you a hug so tight you couldn’t breath, “I’ll let Will know you’re coming in, god Y/N, we were so worried, what the hell were you thinking?” Jay breathed.
“Sorry, I’ll try not to get kidnapped... again,” you replied, but he didn’t seem to appreciate your attempt at humour. 
“I’ll meet you at the hospital,” Casey told you with a smile, eyes lingering on you for a moment before he turned to walk away.
“Hey Casey,” you called, pausing in his steps as he looked back at you, “we got him.”
Casey smiled, eyes full of pride, “you got him Y/N,” he told you, nodding to you before heading back to truck, something unsaid hanging in the air. 
Sylvie made you get into the ambo, Jay by your side the whole ride. 
You’d got him, Lily was safe, it was finally over.
