Savanna Squad Presentation Night Headcanons/mini fic [1/3]

splitting this into three headcanon parts because my god its long

eat up :]

Ashlyn's POV

So the question is: How did we get here? Simple answer really. Taylor. She was always the one to suggest these kinds of things, team building hang outs, though last time it was just us.

The rest of the boys had plans. Tyler had practice to attend, one of the late kinds, Ben and Logan had a project together due for bio in a day or two, and Aiden, for some reason, had a late dentist appointment (much to his dismay). Only Taylor could make it to the graveyard early. Initially, we were just meant to manage our resources, which was manageable with one person, but it was always easier with other people to bounce ideas off of. That's all it was meant to be, but Taylor had other ideas.

"Girls night!!" She had cheered, and we just hung out.

And I had fun.

But as Logan fights with his laptop to mirror on the T.V for the presenters, that being us, I can't help but feel like I'm going to regret this one. Especially with Tweedledee and Tweedledum in the background yelling about something that I don't want to know about, but will probably learn against my will.

Just as Taylor and Ben come downstairs with blankets and pillows, Logan's T.V finally projects the wallpaper of his laptop.

"It's set up, thank god," he sighs, with that last part being under his breathe. And as we set up in his living room, Ben dragging Aiden and Tyler from the kitchen, both with bags of snacks in their arms, and Taylor handing out blankets, we finally sit in our places.

The next question, however, is Who goes first?

Taylor Hernandez

Taylor goes first because she's the one who planned it and was the most excited about it. Aiden tried to go first, but it was collectively agreed that he would be going last for no reason other than to piss him off lmao

Anyways, we love a STEM girl (be still my own heart) so her presentation would be all about her tools and work for the mechanics club. She takes this club seriously, not only because it's good for networking, but because she genuinely finds it fun. I like to think that there are two levels to the club where one is just a standard club and the second level is a competition team, and she was shooting to be a part of the competition league (totally not projecting because I'm a robotics kid)

Her presentation is so well done. It's not only really well organized, but it is just so pretty. It's the type of presentation that teachers would drool over. Avid Canva user b/c it has a lot of customization options that she loves.

What's a toolbox tour without the actual toolbox that's just as decorated as her slideshow. And she takes care of it, too.

Her presentation is so fun and sets a fun tune for the night, and she manages to make this topic really engaging. She would have a little quiz at the end, too, where if one of the group gets a question correct, they get a piece of candy

shows off tools like she's filming a makeup tutorial, I saw this on tumblr, and it's just canon at this point. No criticisms are accepted because it just isn't possible.

Group's reaction

Ashlyn and Ben are the ones who pay the most attention to the presentation. Ashlyn also gets the most questions right at the end of the quiz.

Logan asks the most questions in between slides, but not in an annoying way. He does get a bit lost, though, considering just how many tools there are.

Tyler and Aiden are still bickering a bit. Aiden can't sit still for the life of himself, but he swears that he is listening. Tyler would say otherwise.

Aiden is, though, and he ends up getting Taylor a really nice tool set that she mentioned she wanted when presenting just because he can. He is her favorite for a few days. He absolutely would have a shit eating grin looking at Tyler to just say, "See, I was listening :D". Tyler would then say that he could go fuck himself /hj

Logan Fields

Logan is next. The laptop hates him, and it's old and shuts down multiple times in his presentation. The group then had to watch this man fight with a busted 4-year-old laptop and lose several times. Have you ever seen your parents fight with a printer the night before you have a school project due? It's like that, and the rest are concerned.

He is an astrology bitch, and I will take no criticisms. But like, not in the way that it controls his life, he would not be caught dead saying that the stars told him to do something, like not let him eat alfredo on Sunday or something like that. He's more interested in the concept itself since the idea of zodiacs have existed for so long. Its his comfort research topic.

Absolutely went HAM on researching each and every one of their birth charts. Ask him to show you his notes, and he would not show you. Why??? because he took up an entire notepad (it's one of the smaller ones but still).

"Logan's so innocent" "Logan's so sweet" "My boy can do no wro-" NO!!!! THAT MOTHERFUCKER WILL READ YOU TO FILTH AND I STAND BY THIS. ITS LIKE HE LOOKED YOUR SOUL, UP AND DOWN, AND EXPOSED IT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE (something tells me Tyler gets it the worse. idk why it just feels right)!!! If he feels like something doesn't fit one of the people in the group he is clear about it

"Here is Gemini, a social butterfly. Here is Ashlyn. A Gemini. I love Ashlyn, but like a year ago I have actually seen you jump a fence to avoid a group of people who go to our high school without thinking, and I would say that needs an intervention but you'd also avoid it by jumping a fence." "..."

The presentation itself is long as hell. Like he goes in depth about everything that he talks about, and if you interrupt him, he will shoot you with a spray bottle. Did I mention there's a group spray bottle? Guess why they have one.

Somehow, he is still only the second longest presentation.

Group's Reaction

Taylor is his biggest hypeman. I feel like she'd also enjoy astrology a bit, too, though she's more of a casual fan. She is also one of the few people who is free from Logan's jabs.

Ben is also free from his jabs because he helped him with the laptop, which, thank god, because Logan was about to lose it. I don't think he really believes in astrology. The most he knows is his sun sign on the surface level. He is invested, though.

Don't think Ash is very interested in astrology either, and at some points in his presentation, he just loses her attention.

Tyler gets sprayed at least twice with the spray bottle because he gets defensive. Surprisingly, I do think he would be somewhat interested and knowledgeable about his star signs at least, mainly because he had to deal with Taylor when she went through an astrology phase (let me tell you it was brutal).

Aiden is also interested and engaged in the presentation, but maybe a little too much. What I mean is that he interrupts at points and is the reason why the spray bottle exists. Logan is flattered, but istg Aiden if you interrupt this man one more time...

By the end of the two presentations, the group is in pretty high spirits and having a good time, despite the fact that two of them are a bit wet.

"..."

Logan's laptop, however, is not, and just as they were setting up Ben's powerpoint, it decides that it was a good time to perform a mandatory update and restarts.

Absolute silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

And all eyes go to Logan.

"..."

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!"

Long story short, the presentations have to be postponed for around an hour and forty-eight minutes (maybe you never know with computers), and Logan is taking a walk.

Going Over Your Head

AO3 Link

Husk be scheming and doing things on his own. That means dusting off old clothes and going to the top.

Spoilers for Episode 4

---

Live and learn was one of Lucifer’s favorite life mottos. He had learned how to do so early on when he met his lovely wife, and he had made sure that his sweet Charlotte was taught that lesson as well.

Not in any way that would endanger his sweet daughter by any means, more like ‘if you put water in your electronic toy the toy won’t work anymore’.

One of those lessons came when his sweet girl came with him to the office one day and the annoying moth of a demon arrived trying to garner higher standing. Charlotte had been behind his desk out of sight while he tried to have a civil discussion with the demon.

It wasn’t going well. In any light. The stupid moth didn’t get that no was a full sentence.

The thought briefly crossed his mind on if he was the same way with everyone in every aspect of his afterlife. Most likely.

Once the vulgarity reached a point that dear Charlotte would understand the phrases said he decided that it was time for another lesson.

Sometimes, civility will get you nowhere.

Sometimes, the only option is aggression.

Once the moth left the office Lucifer picked up his sweet girl to explain what had just happened. She didn’t like it, didn’t want to have to do it one day. He felt his heart twist thinking about how the idea would be inevitable here in Hell.

-----

Years later while in his office Lucifer’s assistant told him that he had some visitors from his daughter’s hotel. He wasn’t pleased when she brought up the idea of her hotel, but she twisted the conversation back to that lesson of ‘live and learn’. He had hated it at the time, but later on he couldn't help but be proud that she was able to manipulate the lens of that conversation to her favor. Straightening his posture he gave the approval for this guest.

Needless to say he was a tad shocked to see the former gambling overlord enter his office.

“What an unexpected surprise, to what do I owe this sudden appearance?”

The Winged overlord straightens up slightly. “My apologies for dropping in so unannounced Your Highness, but I felt like this is a conversation that would be better had in person.”

Lucifer’s head cocked to the side. “Oh? And what conversation is that?”

“It’s about some events that recently occurred with your daughter and one of her hotel residents. Though rest assured, no harm has come to her.”

The fallen angel leans back in his seat, waving a hand to apparate a chair into the room. “Take a seat Husker, I believe this may take some time.”

The cat took their place, the former gambling overlords' tail curling around his feet as he glanced cautiously around the room.

“There's no need to be so tense, Husker, you are in no danger here.”

The cat nodded before leaning forwards with fingers interlaced. ”Of course, Your Highness. Apologies, it's a force of habit.”

“No issues here. Knowing exit routes is a good piece of information to have. Now back to the discussion at hand, what is this about?”

“Of course!” The Gambling Demon starts. “ One of your daughter’s hotel residents is a porn star by the name of Angel Dust. He is in contract with Valentino.”

“Yes I’ve heard the name.” Turning on his computer he pulls up Angel Dust’s file to skim it. “And what about him?”

“There is belief within the hotel that Valentino has created a system with his work that goes against the laws that the Lust ring has put into place regarding the sin.” The cat demon continued, explaining the situation with the porn star and his employer.

Once the cat is done Lucifer sighs and steeples his fingers. “That is indeed against Asmodeus’s laws, but that doesn’t explain why you suddenly care about the situation.”

“Due to my recent status under Alastor I now work within the hotel. I hear a lot there, and where the infringement of the Lust rings laws is an issue, it is not the main reason why I am here.”

“Oh?”

“I am not one to get into other people’s business, but the same cannot be said for your daughter. Earlier she went down to Valentino’s studio to talk to him and it went less than ideally.”

The Ruler of Hell tenses, gritting his teeth. “What did the moth do to my daughter?”

“When your daughter went down to the studio, according to both your daughter and Angel Dust, she was disrespected multiple times as royalty, along with apparently licking up her arm from wrist to bicep.”

Husk’s ears flicked slightly as Lucifer smiled, almost blue screening. “He did what?”

The gambler pulled out a small notebook from his shirt pocket. “According to Angel specifically, Valentino started the conversation by licking up her arm, offering her a role in one of his films, then behind closed doors called her a bitch and a cunt.” Husk closed the book. “Though, I feel like what happened directly to the Princess is more bothersome than words behind closed doors.

"Normally I would leave this alone as it’s not my place, but I have been around the Princess for enough time that, she will not follow the issue further.”

“You would be correct in that line of thought, Husker. My daughter is many things, but one to fight for respect that is rightfully hers is not one of them. I thank you for bringing this to my attention.”

The cat demon nods as he stands with a bow. “Of course Your Highness.” He turns and starts towards the door.

“Before I leave.” Husk stops and looks back to Lucifer. “I feel like I should also say that, even though she didn’t defend herself, she did start to attack after seeing what Valentino had done to Angel.”

The King nods. “Yeah that sounds like what she would do. I take it Angel Dust stopped her before she could kill the moth.”

“He was worried as to what would happen to her.”

Lucifer barks a laugh. “Well, for his and your information, my dear Charlotte can hold her own quite well, being a nephilim and all, as she was conceived before her mother fell with me. Take care and rest easy, as the situation will be dealt with.”

Husk's eyes grow wide and he silently leaves the Fallens office, wrapping his head around the fact of Charlie’s lineage. Coming to terms that, if she wanted to, she could level every overlord in this shithole.

As Husk walks through the doors of the hotel and makes his way to the bar to take off the fucking shirt and make himself a drink he catches glimpse of the Princess in the lounge talking to the idiot snake.

It throws him for a loop knowing how powerful the girl is as she sits there fiddling with pieces of paper making stars.

He really needs that drink.

Guiding

Hey lookie here another Molly fic!

Slight warning for swearing and a drunk guy who can't take a hint.

Mollymauk x reader

Find on AO3

----------------

Tavern bugs were all the same; creepy, slimy, and talented at making people uncomfortable with no effort at all. The idiot who decided to move to the seat next to you when he had been sitting at the other end of the bar the second you got your order in was no different.

You clocked him as he attempted to stand from his original seat, almost falling in the process and stumbling the entire way to his destination. He reeked of cheap beer and looked as if he decided that bathing in said cheap beer was the latest beauty trend. You could tell this was going to be less than pleasant.

“Why hello gorgeous, what are you doing in a place like this?” The slurring was almost as bad as his smell. You took a step to the side, watching him from the corner of your eye while silently willing the barkeep to move faster with the drinks you requested. “None of your business, I’m just getting a drink.”

The man leans towards you. “C’mon now don’t be like that, I’m sure I can make your night more enjoyable than this shithole.” You glance at his hand that’s now moving to touch your leg before taking your own hand and shoving it into a pouch on your other hip, rubbing the piece of copper wire placed there, swatting at the drunkard’s hand once the spell is cast.

“I would very much prefer you not touch me at all sir. I’m not interested and my group is patiently waiting for their drinks.” Your eyes glance over the drunk’s head to the table beyond where the recipient of the spell has tensed and snapped his head to look your direction. Your eyes are pulled back to the bar as the keep lays down the four drinks that were ordered. You thank her and start gathering your drinks as the man goes to reach for them. “Come now lemme help you with those.”

“Oh, rest assured that’s not necessary.” You relax as the lightly accented words leave Molly as he reaches and grabs two of the cups, wrapping his tail around your ankle unconsciously. “They have all the help they need. Why don’t you go back to what I know is your spot back on the other end of the bar.” You hear the tone go slightly darker but the man doesn’t have the brain cells anymore to hear the same. Instead he puffs up his chest in a way that would have been intimidating if he wasn’t swaying like a leaf in the wind, nonetheless the motion makes Molly tighten his grip on your ankle slightly.

The man starts to talk only to fall to the ground, leaving Jester standing behind where he sat. “You know if you're that drunk you should really go to sleep.” She glares at the man, discreetly removing her own tail from the foot of his previously occupied stool to avoid suspicion. “Who knows what could happen to you when you’re drunk to the point of falling off a stool with no effort.”

The man, having his brain finally notice that you weren't alone and well watched, stumbled his way to his feet grumbling before making his way back to his original seat and leaving you three standing with your drinks.

“Thank you.”

“No need! Honestly someone should have come up with you, these cups are really big.” Jester says, grabbing the cups that Molly had and making her way back to the table. Molly’s tail unwraps from you as the two of you start that direction as well.

“Lucky you had wire on you. I thought you gave the rest of it to Caleb.”

You shrug. “I try to keep some on me just in case something like that happens. It comes in handy when you don’t want to be too obvious your calling backup.”

“That’s smart. Could‘ve used that trick once or twice myself.” Once you sit down the conversation picks back up as the crew asks for details of what happened, Molly’s tail finding its way back around your lower leg.

----

A few hours later you make your way to the room you’re staying in with Molly, his arm lightly wrapped around your waist. You laugh quietly as you enter the room piquing his interest.

“And what do you find so funny?”

“Did you notice earlier that you were wrapping your tail around my ankle?”

Molly tilts his head. “I did no such thing darling.”

Your head snaps around to look at him. “Oh don’t play that game! When you came to the bar you did it, when we sat down you did it, and you’ve done it in the past as well. Every time we’re in a situation where you can wrap an arm around me your tail finds its way around my ankle.”

Molly frowns, only to have it negated by a look of mischief in his pupiless eyes. “Huh, I’ve never noticed. My apologies darling, I'll keep my tail to myself if it's such a distraction.”

You laugh. “I never said that you had to stop. To be honest I don’t know if you could seeing as you didn’t realize you were doing it. To be honest I think it’s cute.”

The frown turns to a smirk as he moves his tail to rub against your calf. “Oh, then maybe I should do it more often then.”

“Long as you don’t trip me I have no issues with it.”

The smirk turns into a full out smile. “Oh you mean like this. He quickly wraps the tail around your waist, pulling you close to him before his arms take hold where the tail had been.

“You and I have very different ideas of what ‘tripping' means sir.” You lean into Molly as he looks down at you. “But that’s an acceptable move as well.”

Molly’s gaze softens as he leans down for a kiss that you happily give, his tail curling around your lower leg. This time completely on purpose.

Armored

The start of a fic set in regards to a conversation that happened between my partner and me in regards to Tieflings using their tails for various things.

M9 x Reader

slight mollymauk x reader

slightly suggestive but that's up to interpretation

Find it on AO3

----------------

You were staring. You knew it. Molly knew it. Everyone knew it and it was starting to get weird.

It wasn’t the first time Molly had been stared at, being part of a carnival for a while, but the Nein were a bit more cautious about where they looked so as to not garner unwanted attention. Yet here you were; deep in thought, unmoving, and staring at his tail. At first he thought you were just staring into space so he started moving the appendage back and forth to be sure, only to have your eyes follow its every move.

Glancing towards the rest of the crew with a smirk he lifts his tail to eye height, your eyes faithfully following.

“Glad you were able to find my eyes darling.”

“Why don’t you use your tail as a whip?”

He freezes at the random sentence. “I — What?”

You finally focus on his face. “Your tail. Why don’t you use it as a whip? I’ve seen both you and Jester lash your tails fairly quickly and it's about the width of my whip.” You place your bullwhip on the table, unwrapping part of it.

Jester was the first to recover “That would hurt tho.”

You look over. “Not if you wrap or braid it with leather or something. You’d essentially be making a new piece of armor that protects your tail. Plus you could probably find a blacksmith and get a piece of metal that you could place over the end that would be sharper to help deal damage.”

“Almost like a stinger on a wasp.” Yasha responds, entering the conversation. “You could grapple with your arms and wrap around with your tail.”

“Even without wrapping I feel like it wouldn’t be too different from clotheslining someone with an arm.” Beau leans forward, now entrenched in the idea.

You nod. “It would probably hurt more than that, considering that the amount of contact would be smaller.”

“We could even get different things to attach to the end!” Jester states, pulling out her sketchbook and scribbling down some ideas while muttering to herself.

Molly, finally snapping out of it, leans forward onto the table. “Your brain never ceases to amaze darling. Where did this come from?”

You stare at him in confusion, slowly raising the bullwhip from the table. “You have something attached to your ass that looks like a shorter version of my main weapon of choice. I have seen you actively move it however you want. Why are you so surprised I asked this question?”

Beau laughs. “Molly they say the most out of pocket shit that I have ever heard. You can’t be surprised by this. Between the threats of shaving people bald, wanting to make mimics their pet, and responding to things with random noises that make no sense, I'm just happy there’s some logic in this one.”

Fjord, Caleb, and Nott sit down with new drinks, Nott speaking up first. “We making fun of Y/N and their mannerisms?” Jester jumps in, quickly explaining the small conversation that had happened while they were away, leaving you able to lean over to Molly.

“You know, I could just braid a fabric around your tail for fun.”

Molly looks back to you. “Oh?”

“Wrap it up, put some charms on the fabric. Could even do so as to match the rest of your attire. Doesn’t have to be a defensive thing.”

Molly smirks. “Was this just a long con to be able to play with my tail darling? You know all you need to do is ask.”

You shrug with a smile, a glint in your eye that Molly quite enjoys. “But now Jester has an option to use to get alone time with a certain green someone.”

Molly barks a laugh “Oh you clever little thing you.” All you respond with is an eyebrow wiggle as you drink your ale.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 Blooming Flowers, blooming feelings 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊

Summary: You used to be apart of the same circus that Mollymauk was apart of. You were always rather quiet and you kept to yourself. Mollymauk was the only person to really see you bloom in a figurative way and a literal one. You start getting closer and feelings start to blossom. After things went to shit you lose sight of one another and it wouldn't be years into the future that you would meet again.

Warnings: Mentions of the Husk attack on the Circus, Mentions of torture, mentions of SA, Caps.

Notes: She/her reader mentioned once or twice, OOC Mollymauk and the rest of the Mighty Nein maybe.

Word count: 14k

When you first met Mollymauk Tealeaf you certainly didn't know what to think of the eccentric Tiefling. You had always been what most would describe as a loner, you preferred to call yourself guarded but being as quiet as you were made Molly want to get to know you even more.

After a while you certainly started warming up to the Tiefling and he started to see your true colours shining through the icy walls you had built around yourself. He certainly saw now why most of the other performers called you by your stage name "ice Princess" rather then your actual name.

You and Molly spent the next two years building a relationship which first started as friendship and at some point evolved into something more, Mollymauk would never be seen without you by his side and he preferred it this way. Everyone around you could see how much Molly had managed to change you and most of them especially Mona and Yuli were happy about it.

The day when they stopped in Trostenwald both you and Molly spent most of the time of somewhere together, not even Yasha who you also undoubtedly became close with knew where the two of you had snuck of to. You were both hidden in a small part of forest not to far from where everything had been set up, you were both wrapped up in one another quietly talking and laughing.

You had to say you enjoyed times like these, times when you could just be yourself instead of having to put up an act for Hundreds of people to see. Molly definitely seemed to enjoy himself too considering the weird purr like noise he emitted.

But alas even the nicest of times had to end and you had to basically drag Molly back to the circus so you could actually get some practice in for tonights show. Molly blew you a kiss and you caught it with your hand silently laughing before Yasha tapped your shoulder and almost scared you to death.

"Yasha! You can't just scare me like that!" The woman in question let out a snort before shaking her head. "Where did you and Mollymauk run off to? We've been Searching for you." You simply shook your head "that's not important we're here now are we not? Now come i have to actually get some training in for tonight unless i want to embarrass myself Infront of the crowd." Yasha again let out a snort before nodding.

You had no idea what had happened but suddenly there was screaming and people running around panicked, you tried your hardest to see any of the other performers but to no avail, when you turned around you saw what you could only assume to be some type of monster headed your way, you didn't know what to do, yes you had the means to defend yourself with magic but the Magic you used was mostly show you never learned more then tricks to make the crowd gasp, so you did the only thing you could do, you ran.

Pushing through the panicking crowds and away from whatever that monster was, you had hoped that you would maybe find Yasha or better yet Mollymauk but in the chaos around you that seemed impossible.

You continued running until your legs couldn't carry you anymore, you had no idea where you were but you hoped that it would be far enough from the Circus and most importantly that monster or whatever it was. You leaned against a tree trying to catch your breath, you had no idea what to do, you didn't know where you were and you doubted you would find Molly, Yasha or any other performers or even Gustav again.

So you just let yourself sit and calm down, you hadn't noticed you were crying until you saw the tears drip onto your arms, you wiped your eyes trying to stop yourself from crying but nothing seemed to help. After a while you passed out due to the exhaustion.

When you came too you were moving, you didn't know where you were or how you got there but you seemed to be on a waggon. You looked around panicked before a Knife was held to your throat, you immediately stiffened. A slimy voice began to speak "I'd advise you not to talk unless you want things to get worse." You nodded quietly and the man began to talk again, you immediately realised that the next few days wouldn't be pretty. Time seemed to pass in a blur while you were trapped you had no idea what year it was or hell even if it was night or day.

You had been right the last years weren't pretty, you tried to repress the memories as much as possible but with the scars reminding you each and every day it was hard to forget. You basically lived as a shadow of your former self, instead of being quiet and withdrawn you became scared at the slightest noise and whenever someone would touch you you would retreat back,

Your eyes which held a sort of glimmer before were empty and lifeless, but you still held hope that one day you would escape the hell that was your current life, you still held hope that you would one day reunite with Molly however far in the future that may be.

You were woken up by yelling coming from down the hall were you "room" was. You would more refer to it as a cell but it at least had a bed, that was better then nothing. The window was barred, and barely any light came through the door which was made of heavy steal. You had the mind to just stay in bed and fall asleep, it wasn't the first time you had woken up to screaming the other girls held captive were treated as badly as you were.

Though you hoped that they didn't have to indure the touches of the guards that no one seemed to stop. But something about the screaming wouldn't let you go so you stood up, your weak muscles screaming at you to sit down but you went to the door anyway, you bent down wincing when your body seemed to burn with pain to look through the tiny hole in the door.

You couldn't see much but you saw a flash of purple, you heard more screaming though this was different it was the scream of someone dying, you had heard enough people die during your captivity. But the flash of purple made your heart stop, could it be that Molly had been Searching for you and finally found you?

You forced yourself out of your hopeful dream, for all you knew Mollymauk could be dead by now, this was probably just another Tiefling, but the prospect of getting out of this awful life was worth it for you, so even with your body screaming for you to stop you banged on the door, you yelled and hoped that someone, anyone would hear you.

Your prayers seemed to have been answered when something banged against the door, you just had the time to step back when suddenly the door flung open hitting the stone wall with such force that the stone began to crack. In front of you stood an ork about 3 times your size, you backed down in fear, yes you wanted to escape but what if this was just another man trying to defile you.

Next to the Ork was a woman much smaller with blue skin, she held out her hands to calm you "shh it's alright, were not here to hurt you." You stepped back your mind still wirring with the possibilities of them hurting you, you didn't even hear what they were saying and back away further until your back was against a wall.

Both Jester and Fjord were trying to calm you down when Yasha stepped into the Cell intent on figuring out what was happening. When she saw the person cowering against a wall her eyes widened, you reminded her of someone she used to know and when she actually looked closer she realized that it was actually you. Yasha hadn't seen you since the Husk attack back in Trostenwald and she wanted to approach but seeing the look in your eyes she knew that her coming closer would only scare you more.

She also knew that there was only one way to snap you out of the state you were in, and she wasn't even sure that would work. She turned around before Yelling "MOLLYMAUK GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"

You were still cowered against the wall and didn't even notice Yasha stepping in, you curled into yourself more when she yelled so much so that you didn't even hear the name she was saying. You could faintly hear the two people who were standing before you yelling at Yasha to shut up when suddenly everything went silent.

You looked up and saw the face of the person you thought you would never see again, your breathing stopped and you blinked, you were desperately hoping that this was real and not just a trick of your mind, when Molly turned into the direction Yasha was pointing he stilled, even with the years of being apart, and you certainly looking worse for ware he still recognised you.

You slowly uncurled, your mouth opening before you could get anything out you crumpled on the floor letting out a heart shattering sob. The minute you crumpled you felt two hands on you and that smell that was Mollymauk enveloped you, your hands immediately clutched his arms and you basically threw yourself against him, you were shaking and crying but you couldn't seem to care. The years of torture were finally over, you were finally reunited with Molly.

The Tiefling in question pulled you against him his head resting on your hair, the never thought he would see you again, after what happened in Trostenwald he was sure you were dead, but seeing you now in a cell, frail and barely holding together he couldn't be Happier. He didn't even care that Jester Fjord and Yasha were in the room he was just glad you were alive.

You looked up your shaking hands touching his face, you still didn't quite want to believe this was real, Molly's hand enveloped yours and you let out a sob, tears continuosly falling down your cheeks. The rest of the Mighty Nein came to the room as well, Nott, Beau and Caleb looking just as confused as Jester and Fjord. Yasha simply shook her head and led them out promising to explain a bit later.

When you had finally calmed yourself enough to speak you looked up at Molly "y-your real? Th-this....this isn't a dream?" Your entire body was shaking and you tried your best not to cry again. "It's real darling im here... Your safe now." You let out another sob trying your hardest to stay composed, you hid your head in his neck and he shushed you. "Let's get you out of here love i promise your safe now." He kissed the top of your head and picked you up, you were clinging onto him not willing to let go if this was in fact just a trick of your mind.

When he stepped outside of the Cell everyone else was looking at him questioningly, he just shook his head. Yasha nodded and started leaving the rest of the group following, Mollymauk stayed at the back of the group still holding you, rubbing circles along your back.

When the group arrived back at their current camp you had already fallen asleep, Molly and Yasha guessed it was due to exhaustion, so Molly layed you down on his bed rolle to hopefully let you rest while he and Yasha explained what was going on. You awoke soon after and looked around in a state of Panic, your mind not yet registering that you were safe now, when you heard quiet talking and the crackling of fire you curled into yourself before you realized what happened before you passed out.

You weren't in that cell anymore, you weren't subjected to torture and Assault of different kinds, Molly was alive and he came to save you. You were shaking trying to get your mind to calm down when a sudden flash of purple skin caught your attention, you looked up to see Mollymauk looking at you with worry in his eyes, he held out his hand "hey love...you ok?"

You blinked before nodding and immediately hugging him. He was startled for a second before wrapping his arms around you. "Shh everything's alright." He smiled running his hand over your head. "The rest of the group wants to meet you, is that alright? We have some questions." You nodded slightly "as as long as i get to stay with you." He nodded pulling you closer "im not letting you go, never again."

The two of you made your way to a fireplace, Molly sat down pulling you into his lap almost immediately. You looked to the group and your eyes immediately landed on Yasha, you smiled at her your eyes tearing up again, Yasha smiled back before urging you to talk. You swallowed before sighing. "T-thank you..." The group seemed startled at you talking all their eyes landing on you. Everything was quiet for a few minutes before Caleb was the first to speak up.

"So... From what we've gathered from both Yasha and Mollymauk..." He stopped thinking about what to say next. "You knew each other right?" You nodded before speaking "y-yes we did... We all belonged to The Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities. I met Mollymauk and Yasha there" Molly was the next to speak "I spent 2 years getting to know her. During the Husk attack in Trostenwald both me and Yasha lost sight of her.

We don't know what happened with her after that." You began to speak again "well... After i saw a Husk i think you called it? I ran, i ran as far as my legs would carry me before stopping somewhere in the middle of a Forrest without knowledge of where i was or where the rest of you were. I passed out at some point and the next thing i remember is waking up in a moving cart and a knife being held to my throat." Molly stiffened at that.

"I was captured by bad people...they... They tortured me day in day out lashing me with whips, cutting me open and other terrible things. I... was used for my abilities and they used my body in the worst ways imaginable." Your body shook as you forced yourself to remember what those men did to you, tears started streaming down your face again and Mollymauk just pulled you closer trying to calm you down.

The rest of the group all seemed to share the look of shock that Jester was wearing, even Yasha and Beau were wide eyed with shock. Molly could barely contain his anger at what those people had done to you, he was trying so hard not to get angry that he hid his head again. "But but it's over now, you saved me from that fate and... I-i cannot thank you enough for that." Mollymauk wanted to answer but due to the sheer anger he was feeling he was unable to. He didn't want to scare you more then you already were.

After a brief silence Fjord was the first to answer "No need to thank us. We're happy we could help and from the looks of it you aren't the only one who is thankful." He took a glance at Molly who was still holding you before moving onto Yasha who just smiled. You nodded slightly before looking to Molly, you were always abel to tell when something was up with him and one look in his face confirmed your thoughts.

You leaned to his ear your fingers drawing circles on the back of his arm. "It's ok Molly you saved me from that. I don't have to go through that anymore." He nodded slightly but still seemed angry "yes but you should have never had to go through that in the first place, I'm sorry that i wasn't able to save you from that darling..." It was obvious that he regretted not finding you sooner.

You just shook your head again "Molly you didn't know, you couldn't have done anything we lost eachother in the scared crowd." He shook his head "yes but i could have tried to find you after..." You just put your hand on his cheek "No it's alright i heard what happened you had no way of getting out and knowing where i was, hell I didn't even know where exactly i was. The thing that's important is that you saved me, im not there anymore."

He sighed before nodding and pulling you close, you got up from his lap holding out a hand to him. He looked up at you before grabbing your hand and standing up. You looked at the rest of the group "is it ok if we go a bit further away?" They all looked a bit confused the only one who didn't was Yasha, they all nodded and you smiled pulling Molly with you, he followed you smiling slightly "where are you taking me darling?" You giggled shrugging "I don't know just somewhere were we can be alone." He chuckled before letting go and coming up next to you before putting his arm around your shoulder.

You two somehow found yourself in a small clearing that isn't too far away from the camp, you knew this because you could faintly make out the flickering of the Fire in the distance as well as the smoke rising into the sky before dissipating. Molly sat down and pulled you next to him only to lay down, you in turn landing on his chest "you know this reminds me of the morning in Trostenwald before everything went to hell." You couldn't help but think about Trostenwald and what had happened there but now you were just enjoying the fact that you were here with Molly.

Your head fell backward Landing on his chest with a soft thud "it may remind us of it but it won't happen the same. I promise you. I won't let you be taken from me again not after i just got you back." You smiled slightly at that nodding along to his words. "I hope this can last forever. You want to know something i just realized?" Molly let out a quiet humm looking down at you.

"Maybe Yasha was right back then....feelings do grow just like flowers." You smiled at Molly before turning your head back to look at the sky

I hope you liked this! Any and all interaction is appreciated!
