Maybe a Jay white x reader where they are married and she is apart of the bullet club gold and they are so affectionate towards one another and Jay is always cheering her on and she does the same for him. Maybe she is a Gunn sibling and always wins her matches but prince Nana keeps harrasing her because of the bang bang scissors gang and they all come out there to protect the reader. And maybe swerve trys to get involved.

Bang Bang Gang

This one's a bit short but I hope you enjoy it! (This has not been proofread!)

Mentions: Of Prince Nana being a perv

Main Masterlist Jay White Masterlist

One of the main reasons I signed with All Elite Wrestling was so that I could be with my wife Y/n. It had been so long since we were in a promotion together. Instantly the two of us were put in a faction together, the fans loved seeing us together and I coudn’t deny getting paid to spend time with my wife. Both of us were hesitant at first to create Bullet Club Gold since I just left Bullet Club in Japan but Tony Khan assured us everything would work out just fine. I trusted him up until this very moment. Currently, I sat in the Bang Bang Lounge trying to calm down my clearly upset wife. For some odd reason, Prince Nana of all people had been coming out and causing Y/n matches. I didn’t have anything against Swerve and The Gunns and Juice had nothing against the Moguel Embassy. So why was Y/n getting harassed by them?

“So tell us what happened one more time,” Austin asked “Well, I was just having my match with Willow Nightingale when all of a sudden Prince Nana appeared. He asked me if I wanted to see his ‘royal jewels’. When I told him to fuck off he reminded me that he was always watching” My blood was boiling once I heard Y/n explain what occurred moments ago once again.

I know it didn’t sound like much but this Prince Nana thing had been happening for weeks. Normally I would be ringside for all of Y/n’s matches but every now and then we needed a break from the other. Not to mention our matches happened to be booked back to back. “Do you want me to do something? I can talk to him?” I asked “No, can you just be ringside for my next match? If I’m trying to become AEW Women’s world champion I need to be focused on my matches. How can I focus if I’m constantly thinking of Prince Nana” Y/n had a point. She needed to be completely focused on capturing gold. “I promise, next week Prince Nana will regret even breathing in the same room as you”

Just like I said I would keep my promise. Next week Y/n would get her shot for the number one contender for the AEW women’s championship and I would do anything to ensure she would be victorious. As Y/n made her entrance Juice, Austin, Colten and I followed close behind. We watched the ring like hawks, one of us stood on each side of the ring. Just if on command Prince Nana appeared out of nowhere. “How much do you want boss?” He asked me “What? “ “How much?” “How much for what?” “How much for Y/n?” did this psycho just ask me how much I would sell my wife for? I was sick to my stomach at his comments. “Excuse me?” “I think she would make a great addition to the Moguel embassy” I was distracted from my conversation with Prince Nana when Y/n asked “Is everything okay out here?” to which I responded cheerily “Everything is fine my dear”

I waited until Y/n won her match before I started to beat the bloody hell out of Prince Nana. Soon the Moguel embassy and Swerve joined the mix and we were now at war. This was a bloody brawl.

Security tried to pry us off each other but it was no use. This was personal, I was going to make them regret everything. I knew I had taken it too far when they sent the entire locker room out to separate us. Reality set in when Y/n looked at me like I was a madman. I looked down to see the Moguel Embassy lying in a pool of their blood.

I didn’t care about the consequences, I didn’t care that the Gunns and I could get our ROH trios titles taken away. All I cared about was making sure Y/n was okay. I wanted to send a message to the locker room. If you mess with my girl you’ll breathe with the switchblade.

Painted Him Perfect

Pairing: Austin Gunn x ex-wife!reader

Category: Angst

Word count: 824

Summary: You finally decide it’s time to be honest about your marriage with Austin Gunn. About how you painted him perfect.

Warnings: None

A/N: I know it’s been 63936383629 years since I last posted a fic 🤣 but here I am! Based off Painted Him Perfect by Alexandra Kay

Masterlist

Taglist

Moodboard is not mine. Credit goes to @katries 😘

There he was, your ex-husband, laughing with his friends like everything was perfect. Perfect. If only they knew just how perfect their buddy Austin Gunn truly was.

You knew after these past several months it was time to be honest. It was time to be honest with your friends, with your family.

The honest truth is that no matter how many times you sang his praises, drove or flew hours and hours to see him, he would mention over and over how he hated the attention. You didn’t understand because you thought that was what he wanted.

Arguments were more common between you two than they should have been. Couples therapy didn’t do any good no matter how hard you tried, tears in your eyes and streaming down your cheeks. Austin never really tried to make it work, never told his truth in therapy. That was rock bottom for you, for your marriage. His true colors and true character shone bright in that therapist’s office. That’s when you knew it was over, when you knew you couldn’t keep painting him perfect, when he couldn’t even attempt to make an effort to work on the relationship. A relationship that you thought was true love but it was all just a slap in the face.

Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale were two of your closest friends. You met them through Austin so maybe you have one good thing to come out quite possibly the worst relationship you’ve ever been in.

“Hey!” You heard Willow’s upbeat voice coming from your left.

“Hey.” You sighed. Now is the time to tell them. They’re your best friends, plus you have nothing to hide. You fought tooth and nail for your marriage to get better, to please Austin in order to keep the storm clouds away.

“I know that voice. What’s wrong?” Kris was never one to beat around the bush. She noticed you haven’t made any effort to look their way. Her eyes followed yours and she knew immediately who you were looking at. Austin Gunn and the rest of Bullet Club Gold. “You two have an argument?” Kris turned back to you, her head tilted as she studied your face.

Understatement of the century.

Willow shook her head. “I don’t think that’s it. I think maybe—”

“I need to be honest here girls.” You finally looked at your friends and you saw you had their undivided attention, so you let the floodgates fall. Maybe you should have went somewhere more private than roughly 8 feet away from the Bang Bang Gang but part of you wanted passersby to hear, his friends to hear. You just knew that if you didn’t speak your truth then another woman would fall victim to his charm and nice guy act only to be in for heartbreak and misery.

By the time you were finished, Kris’s and Willow’s jaws were on the floor. You didn’t leave anything out. You told the story of how the seemingly ‘perfect’ marriage was all because you made it out to be that way. You told them how you always excused things away as ‘that’s what love is’, but now you knew better. You recalled the big scene Austin caused on vacation at the beach in Atlantic City back in August. August 14th to be exact. Unfortunately, you’ll never forget that date because you’ve never been more embarrassed and ashamed. You even admitted to ignoring the red flags, the red flags you always said you would never let slide. Retelling these stories made you realize that you were yellow and he was green, blue was always going to be the color of your relationship.

During your storytelling, some tears must have fell because felt Willow squeeze your hand, in an effort to comfort. Kris on the other hand was connecting the dots before you’d finish a story.

“That’s what really happened to us. No amount of couples therapy could save us because he didn’t want to save us. Not even when I begged for him to, cried for him to. So the best thing I could do was to paint him perfect so no one knew a thing about just how miserable and embarrassing our relationship truly was.”

“He didn’t deserve for you to paint him perfect.” Kris was fuming. You knew if you gave her the green light she would make that boy’s life pure hell. It was tempting but you wanted something else for him instead.

All you could do was agree. “You’re right I shouldn’t have and it’s a good thing I’m not doing it anymore.”

You didn’t hate Austin Gunn, you didn’t like him, and you sure as hell didn’t love him — at least not anymore. Although, you did want him to feel the pain you felt, you wanted him to be heartbroken. Okay, so maybe you did hate him a little bit, but could anyone really blame you after you told the truth?

Hi. I’ve read some of your fics and I was just wondering if your could do a x reader with either of the following (the Elite, Adam Cole, MJF, Ricky Starks, or one of the womens) I had a really shitty day at work and I wanted to know if you could do something where that after training the readers back hurts from taking bumps. My back is really bad to the point I have to go to the chiropractor along with my shoulder. I explained it badly because I feel like shit from work but just something really comforting

Honey, I hope your back is getting better (please don’t stress yourself). Imma do reactions so you can get the most comfort possible and sorry that this couldn’t come out sooner

AEW Stars React: Your back getting injured in training

Pairings: MJF x Reader, Ricky Starks x Reader, Kenny Omega x Reader, Hangman Adam Page x Reader, Willow Nightingale x Reader, Adam Cole x Reader

Word Count: 875

Supreme Speaks: hey I hope that the anon who requested this iks having a better day. I was gonna do an imagine but it was easier and quicker for me to write reactions. I hope all of you reading this also has a great day and please remember that you are loved and appreciated.

Warnings: same instances in different fonts, barely proofread

Taglist: @wwenhlimagines @hooks-martin @sheinthatfandom

Kenny Omega

Mans would notice the first time you landed wrong (Mans is the Bout machine)

He would try to correct you but ultimately decided to end the session to prevent an injury

I also think he is the one who constantly has an eye on you afterward; like you are not allowed to leave his line of sight

So you now have the task of sitting and being pretty while he fixes lunch/dinner

You are not allowed to walk around for long periods

Would give you tips on how to land safer in the future

I also say Kenny would put down a thicker landing mat for you once you are ready to train again

Would also praise you for trying to continue to train

“You are tougher than most of the boys in the back. Nick cried once from taking a bump wrong.”

Hangman Page

MANS IS A SWEETHEART

Once you landed wrong and he saw how you reacted; you were immediately taken out of the ring

“Nope. No, no, no, we’re leaving and you’re getting a heating pad.”

Would immediately get you IcyHot/BioFreeze for your pains

Tries to distract you with discussions about other topics (favorite songs, movies, etc)

Would carry you every time you wanted to walk somewhere

Bathroom? You’re over his shoulder. Want to eat? You’re being held like a baby to the table

Listens to your rants, outbreaks, cries, anything at any time of the day

Would give you massages at any time

“Please do not move too much. I want you to be at 100% next time you practice”

Adam Cole

Just like Page and Kenny, Cole doesn’t take this lightly (as he has suffered from back pains)

But I think you were landing safely and you just took too many bumps and they just started to hurt your back

Just to be on the safe side, he would book chiropractor appointments

He would go through the appointment to show that you’re not alone

Adam would also do his own observations to see if he needs to alter anything

Will readjust everything to make sure that you are comfortable

ALSO MANS WILL GET YOU FLOWERS EVERYDAY (I just see that whether it’s platonic or not)

“You’re gonna be okay and I’m so proud of you for taking everything like a champ.”

Also, he would have a bath waiting on you before you could walk in the door

That man will take care of you

MJF

Okay listen….he would try to make fun of you at first

But when he noticed that you wouldn’t even give a snarky comeback, he changed his attitude

Will spend a shitload of money just to make you feel good

Appointments? Medicine? Massages? Compression shirts? You name it, he got it.

As you start to feel better, Max will start cracking jokes

“You are a strong individual who can take anything thrown at her….except for an arm drag”

Will reference you to make his opponent feel bad

“Y/N, who is smaller than you, had to stop wrestling temporarily cause she was carrying the weight of the industry on her back..unlike you shmuck.”

Ricky Starks

Mans knows exactly how you feel

Will give you every piece of advice and equipment that helped him through his bad back

“Sleep on your stomach….or was it your side? Just go to sleep and tell me how you feel later on.”

Will make everything within arms reach for you

Doesn’t want you to enter the ring until a week later

Ensures you that you didn’t do anything wrong (wrestling is just hard at the end of the day)

Like Page, he will listen to what you have to say and will try his best to respond to it

Will support whatever you choose to do but will push you to keep going in the future

“I know it hurts now, but once you’re all better, you’ll forget this ever happened and flourish like the butterfly that you are…or something like that from Pinterest”

Willow Nightingale

Okay, I think she would freak out about everything

Tbh, she wouldn’t know what to do as she is genuinely worried about you

You would find it endearing and a little bit distracting (in a good way) as she scrambles to help you

Would worry every time you left something up, doesn’t allow you to bend down

To comfort you; cuddles everyday…every fucking day… (you betta not decline em either)

Would take online advice to heart and hope that it genuinely helps you

I can see Willow looking up what to do to help you, but she would come across different conditions and would be convinced you have it

“Do you have Osteoporosis? No? Then you have Arthritis….No I’m not calling you old.”

Chocolate never was more tasty than this 😈😈

Summary: The 3 times y/n’s badass moments made her husband Roman Reigns feel like the luckiest man on the planet. This fic is a Aew au

Pairing: Roman Reigns x cargil reader

Random pairings: Jon moxley x jade cargil ( her sister), willow nightingale x Ricky starks, ruby soho x Anglo Parker.

Her faction: the vagabonds ( y/n,jade,willow,Brandi, and Keira hogan)

Championship title: current Aew women world champion

Face claim : saweetie

1. “ Roman!!” Y/n yelled running into his arms hugging him tightly as he caught her , earlier in the night while she was at home making dinner Jey called stating Stephanie got him arrested during the smack down taping under false accusations making her blood boil with anger. Ever since Roman turned heel becoming the tribal chief and creating the bloodline certain people have been trying take him down or destroy his accolades in & out the ring “ hey babygirl I’m okay I’m okay” he said softly soothing her worry’s knowing how worried she’d get about his safety sometimes.

As they get in the car once she got the paperwork as well bail taken care of he filled her in on the situation Stephanie wanted him,the twins and solo to pay for their actions against Sami zayn & Kevin Owens during royal rumble which upon further investigation that the two were forced to by the women or they’d be sent back to nxt. “ I’m fucking done!!!” He said seething with anger as y/n nodded letting him vent all of his anger out knowing he needed it “ okay love then quit always come to Aew with me I mean Jon’s way happier over there” she said looking over at him.

“ I’m with you baby let’s do it” he said interlocking his bigger hand with her smaller one heading home Stephanie say your prayers she thought smirking to herself.

A week later

Walking into the stadium hand & hand the tribal chief was ready to make a statement with his Nubian queen by his side “ go get yourself all dolled up sweetness gonna go over the plan with the boys” he said looking down at y/n squeezing her hip “ mm okay my chief” she purrs kissing Roman deeply before walking away.

“ what the hell !!! It’s the bloodline ohhh and they don’t look happy, well what do you expect Stephanie’s actions towards Roman Reigns * sami & Kevin join them * ohhh looks like they got back up!!!” Michael Cole and pat mcafee said watching them launch a sneak attack on the couple at one point Roman points to the ramp giving y/n the signal. Watching everyone go crazy while walking down the ramp to the ring she only had one goal make this woman pay “ oohhh and her comes the tribal goddess herself” Cole said with a hint of excitement the whole roster was ready to see the couples demise and we’re enjoying every minute.

Standing face to face with the evil woman who hurt her tribal chief y/n waisted no time pouncing on her attacking Stephanie with every thing she had the older woman was no match for her cheetah like moves “ hold them up!!! Both of them!!!” She screamed as the boys got them in position “ no are they?! Double spear !!! double spear !!! My god Hunter and Stephanie just got snapped in half!” Cole said as the crowd chanted you deserve it

“ nobody!!! Can take down the bloodline we run this shit!!! We’re done with this company I’m done with this bullshit everywhere I go or my tribe goes you acknowledge us !!! Cause we the ones!!!” Roman said growling loudly in the mic as everyone held their fingers up. He was done with wwe and to do it with his goddess it felt great standing tall.

2. Roman & y/n where hanging out with his 6yr daughter Joelle at their new home in L.A California located in Beverly Hills. The couple was happy to have some time off after battle of the belts ppv not minding the little girls presence since she’d taken a liking to y/n instantly after Roman divorced his nightmare of a ex fiancé , hearing the door bell Roman got up from the couch smiling softly watching his two favorite girls laughing and smiling “ oh great what are you doing here?” He groaned coming face to face with his ex.

“ you weren’t answering my calls Joelle left her snacks & blanket at my place last week” his ex replied slightly upset he didn’t really talk to her since the divorce only if something involved jojo his ex was a gold digging bitch breaking his trust once to many. “ well jojo has all the snacks and blankets she needs but extra wouldn’t hurt * grabs her blanket & Cheeto puffs* oh while you’re here Joelle will be living with us or parents from now on” he said making the woman gasp in sock

“What?!!! Why Joe I” the woman only could get out as Roman turned around snarling at the woman immediately shutting her up “ you will never get to call me that again got it? Secondly you missed the court date , hearings as well meetings with the lawyers multiple times and your mother vouched for me stating that Joelle deserved to be with me besides y/n has been way more of a mother to her than you” he said smirking as y/n appears next him with jojo in her arms.

“ everything okay here? Oh hi” y/n said smiling as Roman explained the situation she never liked his ex and it was time to put the woman in her place “ jojo bug can you cover your ears for me ? * the little girl nods doing as told* good girl” she smiles at the girls cuteness. “ I’ll only say this once and once only you lost bitch you don’t deserve shit from him or anyone with your leg spreading flat chested twink dollar tree having ass unless you’re making a billion dollars a year,own fifteen businesses, model the hottest brands or look half as good like me” steps a little closer “ then get the fuck away from my family understand? Good” she said smiling at the fear struck woman as Roman watched proudly if you thought Roman’s death glare was scary hers was 10x more terrifying.

Walking back inside the couple shared a sweet kiss “ me too!! I want one!!!” Joelle squeaked making them laugh attack the girl with kisses “ you’re so good to me sweetheart thank you for coming into my life and hers” he said kisses her forehead making the woman melt “ I’d like to say it’s the other way around but you’re welcome cause I wouldn’t wanna be anywhere else” she said touched by his words “ daddy!! Momma!! Can we make noodles and fried dumplings ? Oh please!” Joelle said smiling up at the two shocking them mostly y/n not wanting to push it letting Joelle get comfortable with the idea of being her new mom but the young child always saw y/n as her mother the first time they met .

“ uh - yeah of course darling but we gotta make sure you’re daddy doesn’t eat all the cookies we’re gonna make too” she said smirking at Roman as jojo hugged her tightly while on the inside she was buzzing with happiness as Roman did holding them close.

3. The wrestling it couple were tag teaming with her sister,Jon,Brandi and Cody against daddy magic,Anna,tay conti and Sammy after some off hand comments were made about the couple’s relationship.

“ ohhhh !!! God !!! Tay conti just got rocked!!” Taz comments as y/n super kicked her in the face before yanking into a deadly samoan drop doing a kip up as the crowd cheered “ let’s go!!!!” She screamed firing up the crowd turning around smirking pointing to Sammy mockingly blowing a kiss “ we run this bitch!!! Hoe!!!” She cackled licking her chops setting up for a Superman punch in honor of her husband which she perfectly executed before tagging her sister in.

“Come on baby!!! Roman cmon!!!” She shouted holding her hand out as her tribal chief tagged her in hopping over the ropes knocking down everyone on the opposite team before coming face to face with daddy magic yelling in her smiling like a psychopath slapping him not phased by the threats. She put him her finisher the cradle ( inverted ddt) “ and your winners the vagabonds and Roman Reigns,Jon moxley and Cody Rhodes!!!” They announced the crowd cheering as they all stood tall in victory.

Walking backstage they all were heading back to the locker room they heard Tay screaming about them cheating and so on down the hall “ kiss my ass bitch!!! Oh that’s right you don’t have one!!!” She smirked laughing twerking a little cause Roman to chuckle at her antics.

“ you are bad” he growled playfully against her ear before squeezing her plump bottom “ mmm but you like it though my tribal chief” she said looking up at him before getting brought into a steamy lip lock.

She was the whole package and all his nobody compares to his chocolate dipped goddess.

Enjoy!!!❤️❤️✨

The Light Side of the Moon

🌙 Pairing: Rudra x Moon goddess!reader

🌙 Setting: post Ragnarok

🌙 Warnings: mention of wine, sex (oral, penetration), nudity, death.

Part 2 of 4: Shadows (Midnight)

Part 1

Where you are a moon goddess of immense power (like Tanit), but motherly, gentle and, after sorrowful relationships, afraid to fall in love again; but love comes to you anyway.

And he has four arms.

🌒🌕🌘

This night is changing fast, but too slowly for your thoughts.

After the run, you sheltered yourself in a small garden that only a few know and laid yourself down under its willows, breathing heavily, shedding tears and trembling with sobs; the silence, broken only by the animals’ calls and the nocturnal wind that gently blows among the leaves, brought you peace and quieted you, but not your sadness and regret. What have you done? You ran away like a criminal and didn’t solve anything. You left your friends without a word of explanation and treated Rudra in the worst way, making yourself not only embarrassing but also despicable; right now you should go back and apologize properly to them all, because this isn’t behavior worthy of (Y/N)... no, this is not you.

Rudra, great Rudra, what are you doing to me? Please, get out of my mind now and forever, go away, go away…

Now, whenever you close your eyes, you see his gaze upon you and his joyful face, his smile is here to keep you company; and you finally understand the meaning behind the dreams that are visiting you in these nights, why they are always full of shivers.

There is a temple in them: the House of the Moon, your sanctuary, and inside it the throne that your human children built for you, the statue some of them keep on worship, the stone lions that protect the sacred vessels, and you.

Crimson garments cover your body, pearl necklaces and chains descend along your neck following the curve of the breasts, intertwining on the belly, reaching up to the pubis, closing over it in protection; serene, seated on your rich throne, you stare at the ocean in front of the House of the Moon, waiting for someone.

Your city hasn’t fallen yet, it is in its golden era: people come and go, ships of every shape and dimension arrive and depart from the wide port searching everything, there are a thousand languages and nations that meet each other, stories, destinies, change of lives; and among these paths and souls, you hear him coming.

Your eyes, deep and bewitching like the night sky, watch him getting closer and closer in the sunset, making his way to the temple; he brings with him a gentle darkness, which neither hurts nor frightens, and wrapped in his black robe, you find him alluring and tempting like a black tiger. The stairs that lead to your bronze doors seem to resonate under his steps, their echo being sucked into the jaws of the felines; but none of them will attack, they know that there is no danger in who is coming.

At this point, in your dreams you always shake: this really happened, but the face that came towards you then was not the one that the night visions show now, nor has the figure to which it belonged ever smiled with such sweetness ― and he never will do ―; yet, as soon as your guest reaches the destination and his shadow fills the threshold, stopping on it to contemplate you, your reaction show what you really think about it.

You stand up with all your majesty, opening your arms and smiling: the Moon, the Mother is ready, her inner and true sanctuary awaits in hunger.

“Come, my lord, your spouse is ready.”

Your voice is melodious, a nightingale song; and Rudra, the Storm, can’t help smiling wider and kneeling in front of you, while you slowly approach him. With a gentle movement of the hands you close the bronze doors and the world is now far, far away from you two; then, your garments fall to the ground and all the jewels follow them with the sound of a thousand little bells, leaving you completely naked, or at least covered only by the last sunlight and the first moonglow.

“My love… will you stay or will you go?”, you softly ask, caressing his hair and kissing the hand that you take into yours, sucking his fingers;

“I will stay”, he whispers to you, hugging and kissing your legs like a supplicant, “I will be there forever, and ever.”

Without other hesitations, the god welcomes your soft body as a blessing, becoming the offering you most desire: his hands trace the shape of your belly and pubis, caress your breasts and grab your hips, follow the roundness of your buttocks. His mouth begins to explore your inner thighs and what they protect, while his eyes don’t leave yours, capturing every part of you. “I’ll be here for you, my queen and moon”, you hear him whisper to your lips, before starting to feed himself with your fluids, licking and lapping.

In a few seconds waves and jolts of pleasure, shivers and moans become your only reality while you lean against one of the stone lions, shaking, panting and gasping without control; your thighs close in reaction, trapping his head between them, but the real prey is you, too weak to fight against such an hunter.

Your body is flooded with sensations and you find it hard to breathe, let alone to think, and Rudra knows it; so, he deepens the grip of his fingers on your sensitive flesh, sucking and licking harder, teasing all your weakest spots outside and inside you, scraping, slightly biting, torturing you until you leave out a loud scream, the first of many others. You don’t give him the satisfaction of hearing you beg, but your body speaks for you…

… And so do dreams, which end here every night.

When you wake up, always at the same hour, the moon is spinning in the sky like a crazy ball, absorbing and showing your agitation; the body is covered in sweat and the mouth is dry from the many moans and sighs you left out, and your heart beats a mad dance: desire twists it, while your mind is prey to the saddest memories. Usually, it takes you some time to return to sleep, but the thought that they are just dreams, visions created by a loss of rationality and desires of the flesh, soothes your soul a bit; until now.

Now you are sure that they wanted to tell you something crucial for you, and you didn’t listen to them. You have already experienced all this, you know how it feels before and after, but you have not yet learned to foresee the situation and defend yourself against it; so, before it’s too late, you must run away from Rudra or he will take all your sanity, driving you mad. If your dreams are right, the greater danger is that you might thank him for it, and…

“Oh, finally I have found you. Do you feel better, (Y/N)?”

You jolt, barely holding back a scream. “RU-RUDRA?”

Lit by the full moon, the God of Storms looks around him, then looks back at you and gives a slight smile, raising his arms as if to say: Who else?

It takes you a few seconds to recover from the surprise, but eventually you manage to put on a calm expression and stand up, approaching him with slight reluctance and without completely leaving your tree shelter. “… Why are you here, and how did you find this place?”

“The boys told me where you love to hide… and here we are.”

At these words you frown while piercing your gown with the nails, and shake your head slightly. Someone in the Hindu pantheon is going to have a bad time, later; but for now, you have to deal with another problem. You glance at the god, preparing yourself for the worst as you see him covering the short distance that separates you two; but he, perhaps sensing your discomfort, passes by you, leaving all your space intact and dedicating all his attention to the secret garden and its fragrant trees.

The surprised and admiring smile that curves his lips, the expression of a child who has just seen the rainbow for the first time, allows you to calm down and at the same time leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, something you can’t recognize ― you don’t want to.

“I was worried about you…”, Rudra suddenly whispers, stroking the bark of an ancient willow and glancing at you, “but now I see there is no longer to be afraid: you are in very good company.”

“I was really sick”, you try to say with a faint voice, “maybe there were too many people in that room. And yet…” you stop for a moment, then sigh, “…and yet it was very rude of me to run away like this; rude, and shameful.”

The god smiles reassuringly at you, and you know he really means to be. “Don’t be silly, I don’t have to forgive you anything. You haven’t committed a crime!” He pauses, and immediately after the clinking of a raindrop shakes the trees.

A thunderstorm is rolling in from the west, where the darkest part of the night awaits, and both of you stare at that flickering blackness for a long minute. The cold that comes from that corner slips into your flesh and bones and makes you shiver, and this seems to give new energy to Rudra’s words, who approaches you more and gently takes your hand in his, warming your fingers. “Are you really fine? If you want, I’ll stay here with you.”

For my own sake, go away. “… Yes, I’m fine.” A pause, and then something inside you takes control of your tongue. “And you can stay, if you want to. Your company is always appreciated.”

Rudra nods, then his expression changes as he begins to rummage under the cloak: “And you know what, I haven’t given you your present yet. Well, it’s not actually a gift…”, you hear him murmuring, while curiosity leads you to stretch your neck towards him, “… but since I found it, this little guy hasn’t wanted to leave my side. Surely you know more than me how to take care of it.”

Instead of being rational and leaving behind a dangerous situation once and for all, your gaze fixes on two of his hands, cupped to hold something colorful and quivering; your fingers gently open them to allow you to see better, and at that point the breath catches in your throat. You can’t believe what you have in front of your eyes: millenia have passed since then, and yet it only took a moment to make you go back to that time and bring to mind all the smells, the sounds, the life of your city. You can truly hearing and seeing the spring spreading in the woods surrounding the temple: the coast is full of sea flowers, the air is becoming clear and warmer, and flocks of migratory birds are returning home, filling the sky with calls and a thousand colors ― the same colors of the small bird that Rudra has just placed on the palm of your hand.

“And you? We are very far from home, this is not a suitable place for you, do you know? Here, here…”

You bring your new friend to the chest and begin to gently caress its soft plumage, looking at the deity standing next to you; aware of the sparkle in your eyes, you can’t help smiling. “Rudra… you have been there”, you stammer, the voice cracked by emotion, “you have seen my queendom.”

The God of Storms stares into the distance, as if chasing shadows that only he can see, and remains silent for a second; then, his face lights up.

This is a vision of incredible beauty, you think without even trying to deny having done it, and maybe involuntarily your lips part as if to give a kiss, or receive it.

“Your city is stunning under the moonglow”, Rudra reveals, “it shook my heart, a vision of such grace… the ancient port, the towers, the temple on the mountains…” He pauses for a moment, then his tone softens even more. “I think you should see it: not from afar, through the eyes of the moon, but with yours. Your presence is still there, but… but yes, you should return to your true home, and breathe your power again.” Another pause.

Suddenly, a slight jolt goes through your body. Alarmed, you stop playing with the little bird and wait; Rudra is searching for the words to tell the world something that you won’t like at all.

“… And in that place, I finally understood how much I was missing you.”

Fine, that’s enough. “Please, stop.”

The god turns at you, his expression confused by your harsh tone, and stares at you as you lower your face to the ground, in great discomfort. Just as before he lit up, now you are darkening: as if things weren’t hard enough already, they get complicated. It was not enough to fall more and more under the weight of the curse that unites the gods and humanity; now you discover that you are not the only one to suffer this damnation. Until this moment your mind went in one direction and the heart in another, so the division has exposed your true will; but now it is different, because you absolutely cannot allow Rudra to suffer because of you, it would be unforgivable. Nothing has changed since then… nothing. Everything is repeating itself, going in the same way, and it can only have one outcome. You can’t really stay anymore, the jokes are definitely over.

“(Y/N)? What…”

You smile weakly, then start pulling away from him, backing away. “I think… I think that we have talked enough for tonight, and beyond. It’s time for me to go, it’s far too late. Goodnight, dear friend.”

Rudra tries to approach you and one of his hands reaches for your wrist, but yours stops it before it succeeds; immediately you intertwine your fingers with his, caressing them. It is a goodbye, but without any spoken word. There’s an infinite sadness, something similar to despair, in the way you look at him, and perhaps that most of all stops him from making any other moves, even if it doesn’t separate him from you.

For a few moments, neither of you breaks the silence, but in the end it is you who shatters the stillness, letting go of his hand. “The moon doesn’t match the storm, Rudra”, you whisper, feeling only emptiness, “there is no future for them. Let me go, let me disappear from your life.” Bitter, ruthless, the rest comes by itself. “You’ll be fine, you’ll live better without me. And one day, believe my words, you will forgive me for this sorrow. Just… let me go, and stay away from my darkness. I beg you.”

“Is that what you really want?” Rudra’s tone is calm, but firm: he is not willing to let you go so easily. “Because if it is what you desire, I’ll do it, I’ll respect your wish; but only in that case.”

The burning determination with which he keeps you anchored prevents you from lying, and so you are sincere both towards him and towards yourself. “No, it’s not.” You wait a moment before talking again, but when you do it is to end the matter, and avoid hurting yourself even more. “However, the fear I feel is the best for me. I can’t fall in love again: not with you, or anyone else. What happened in those times… it won’t let me.”

Are you really sure about this, my Great Lady?

Both you and Rudra jump and whirl, shaken by the voice that resonates within your bones.

For the first time, the little bird chirps desperately, then squeezes itself against your chest as if it wants to get inside you.

This is the last image you see before your eyes are blinded by a brightness so intense it makes you scream, and then you find yourself on your knees, your body crushed by terrible pressure. Your only thought goes to him.

“Rudra!” you scream with all the strength you have, curling up and holding your ears, your eardrums about to explode. If even an answer reaches you, you don’t hear it, and you can’t even figure out if he is there with you or if something, someone, has understood your desire literally and has divided you forever.

The light, a clarity that you know as yourself, takes over your whole being making you lose control over reality, and even the conscience.

AAAAA ty Annie! 😳💌📖💕💕

3. top 5 books this year?

If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson*, By Light We Knew Our Names by Anne Valente, and Bound by Evelyn DaSilva! And this is cheating but I read way less than usual this year and it’s hard to compile a top 5 because of it, so: I read the short story collections The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen and How Long ‘til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin and my faves from each respectively were I’d Love You To Want Me and The Elevator Dancer.

I’m gonna cheat again and list one manga (Spy x Family, unbelievablyyy satisfying and fun) and some of my favorite works by mutuals also. This year Eve @pinkafropuffs published plenty of fanfics in addition to Bound, but if I had to choose one recent favorite I’d say: May Flowers Bloom Wherever You Wander. Such a spectacular, magical end to a delightful series, everything fell together so so wonderfully 💞🌸 highly recommended reading her fanworks even if you’re not familiar with the fandoms!! Ari @haldimilks published Burnish, Burn, a Heathcliff centric Wuthering Heights story that I think about and revisit often<33 You also don’t necessarily have to read Wuthering Heights before reading it and the website it’s on classifies it as a 10 min read so! you have nothing to lose 👀🔥 Ilika @sheherazade wrote and it went unsaid. a Queen’s Thief one shot that blew me away! Her love for this series is contagious and she perfectly nailed the complicated feelings and sincerity between Gen and Irene imo 👑📚

*It came out this year but I only read the preview chapters, so like barely a fraction of this brick of a book, but like.... it’s the fourth book in the series and I know in my bones I’ll love it and I deliberately didn’t screen myself from 60% of spoilers because I’m so impatient and I’m so so EXCITED to finish it next year uff 🤒🤒 and hopefully do the same with the same author’s new novella, Dawnshard, also.

4. Any new authors you love?

Grady Hendrix (my kind of horror/supernatural thriller! love his ideas and he executes them very well too), Toni Morrison (I could read her prose forever. was legit sad for a bit when I reached the end of TBE)

6. anything you meant to read but never got to?

GQISJWJ so many books.... SO many it’s not even funny! I have this thing about reading a landmark number of books every year because anything else makes my brain itch uncomfortably so I was gonna read 5-10 more books than I did last year (125) and had to bite the bullet and chop it down to 75 books last month...the universe’s way of gently knocking me down a peg and reminding me the one thing I can never be is consistent 😌 (I’m kidding) anyway I complied a list of books I DEFINITELY plan to tackle come 2021 and a lot of it is compromised of books I had planned to read and/or started this year! Like The Count Of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, The House at Baker Street by Michelle Birkby, Bending the Willow: Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes by David Stuart Davies, The Book of Collateral Damage by Sinan Antoon, Thorn by Intisar Khanani, The Professor and Vilette by Charlotte Brontë, and The Bear and The Nightingale by Katherine Arden. (So mostly a bunch of Sherlock Holmes adjacent stuff and fairytale retellings.... mecore as hell 🤭)

11. favorite not newly published book?

If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin hands down but also most of Sherlock Holmes in general. Some of my top favorites of what I’ve read so far are: A Study in Scarlet, A Scandal in Bohemia, The Beryl Coronet, The Speckled Band, The Norwood Builder, A Case of Identity, The Adventure of the Copper Beeches, and The Adventure of the Gloria Scott.

13. least favorite books of the year?

Mexican Gothic by Silvia-Moreno Garcia (I was SO excited for this one! it just felt unpolished in terms of plot direction and I questioned a lot of the writing choices... it’s title is basically just a concept and that’s what the book felt like and it unfortunately wasn’t satisfying), The Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley (short story collection and McKinley’s works in general are hit or miss for me and this was a collection of misses 🤕 too much description and not enough plot or substance in these particular retellings that were played too straight, like no twists or changes leapt out at or hooked me), And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (I went into it knowing the original title and more about Christie in general than I wished to, but even without that... I just did not feel for any of the characters and was relieved every time one of them finally bit the dust), A Woman is no Man by Etaf Rum (don’t get me started.... I’ll just say I’m unfortunately aware of why non-Muslims ate this one up and I don’t like it. Tragedy p*rn and not even of the author’s own experiences. Reinforces too many stereotypes and is not a story about Muslims I think American/Western/whatever readers need to be exposed to rn.)

17. surprised by how good they were:

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante (that end!! Very excited to see how the main characters’ lines progress in the next few books), The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix (this was SUPPOSED to be a popcorn read but I got SO invested it was magical), Pachinko by Min Jin Lee (one of those meandering books that follows generation after generation, dull at times but ultimately I liked the level of detail every other character got like? The author clearly knew what she was talking about and I enjoyed the overall picture she painted of the time periods the book takes place in. The duller parts were necessary and worth it), When The Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka (I just loved the prose of this one and how quick a read it was. None of the main characters had names either which intrigued me a ton and worked in the story’s favor)

23. fastest time it took to read a book?

Mm. The audiobook to The Yellow Wallpaper was like 45(?) min long GWHSHWH I also read Dostoyevsky’s short story A Novel in Nine Letters, which was short and snappy, and I’m also in the middle of reading An Honest Thief and Other Stories, also by him, which I probs won’t finish till next year but the first story was also easy breezy. I’ve mostly read short stories in 1-2 sittings this year, to keep me sane in between homework and freaking out, so I could go on but those stick out to me!

#asks #IF I tagged you in this and want to be removed lmk!#anything I mentioned or linked in that first answer I earnestly feel anyone reading this should check out!#im not purposefully ignoring messages or tags or anything rn I’m just took a break to answer this and have to dissapear again soon but I’ll #get back to ppl on here soon god willing

It has been a long hiatus, though to me it didn’t seem to be one. Time flies. June and July have flied by so fast, and I can’t keep up, shit things happening one after the other, and I’m still coping… But it’s a process. I’m functioning now enough to write and interact on this blog.

As I promised, this first post is a list of June releases (from June 3rd) and the reviews I found about them until now. You’re all welcome to let me know if you have a review that I forgot to add.

Since July is also over, I’m also sharing this month’s books and reviews.

As always, updating is constantly happening, if you know about a book or have a review, just let me know! 😉

Welcome back on Swift Coffee, everyone!

For the newbies (welcome 😘): if you don’t yet know what this is all about: I’m posting a list every Monday of the books that get released during the current week. I also include other people’s reviews about them! I try to do a blog hop from time to time and spread the word about this feature, but I obviously can’t find every review that’s related, so a sign that you have one would be very much appreciated! Every review is eligible that is written about a book published on the week in question, even if it was written before said week!

So… one question remains:

Would you like to join the ride?

It’s very easy!

These are the rules:

To be featured, you don’t have to do anything else, but to leave a comment below this post, or contact me by any other way, and let me know you have a review. A link to it makes it easier, but if you only say your review comes out on x day of the week, that’s okay as well, I’ll watch out for it! Following me is not a must, but I appreciate it very much, if you do! 🙂

I continuously update this post according to your infos/comments, and I share it again every time I’ve made an update.

The book you reviewed don’t have to be from the list here, if it’s not listed, but published this week, I’ll add the book, too!

You can also send me a review for next week, because these posts are scheduled! 😉
