HELLO SAILOR!!!

[bleedingichorhearts]

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐦

“This is a remake of a cringe, oneshot long ago…” - Ichor

Summary - “The Alpha legionnaires are rather greedy to feed and please when there are leftovers. Solor on the other hand? Is not pleased.”

“Do note this is a remake of a oneshot. It canon, but it’s just not timed right and it’s been awhile since we had some action from these bois. It’s likely they have changed quite a bit and do so in the possible future.” - Note

||Words: 1.7k || TW// Lactation, Fingering, Mild Smut.

Your body rocks gently side to side. Soft coos leaving your lips as the hefty baby in your arms: Salem coos right back out you tiredly. One little hand in his mouth, and another hand grasping at your fingers lightly as his little mind must of sensed that he was accidentally breaking and spraining your fingers with his abnormal strength.

It was definitely… exhilarating when the first time that happened. The sudden snap of your bone and the hiss of pain that leaves you while you jerk your hand away, and with Salem being a bit in-tuned with you? He cry’s out, sensing something was wrong with his mother. Yet, never understanding soon enough to realize he was the cause of it. Not that you would the blame your own child, but you’re definitely taking note of it when he grows older…

A sigh leaves you when Salem finally lets sleep consume his little mind. His eyes: the color of yours, flutter and fight against it, but it seems being awake for a few weeks finally caught up to the little one. His hand still wrapped around yours while you slowly lower him into his steel blue crib. Your hands gentle as you tuck the little one in. Replacing your hand with a albino turtle plushie he absolutely favors instead. Something Hydra, one of the Alpha Legionnaires got him.

You stay for a moment more within the nursing room. Watching the little one, making sure no nightmare immediately raided his mind. Something that has been happening from the day he was born, and it absolutely wreaks your heart, but he seems to sleep better within your comfort. That was something you at least could do to comfort your own child as Solor wasn’t keen on showing the child to anyone, family or apothecary included.

Another sigh leaves you at the ridiculousness that silver knight has as you carefully move out of the room, but non where willing to fight against his wishes unless it was those… Adeptus Custodies? Golden Knights? They called them? Either way, you know for sure you’ll snap at Solor if your child gets ill or injured in some way. Oh, you would be absolutely livid.

Once out the nursery, your heart jumps in your chest as you hear a more deeper, questioning coo in your ear. You hand going to your chest to try and hold your heart as you jump to the side before giving a quiet scold at the armored, blue and green iridescent marine before you. “Hydra! Don’t spook me like that!”

You receive a quiet, mischievous rumble in response. The marine stalking a bit closer than he would usually as your eyes quickly look him up and down, suspicious of him. Your senses for the Alpha Legions mischief tingling.

“Hydra? What are you up to?” You whisper, not willing to wake up your little one that was sleeping soundlessly. Yet, the marine simply takes another step closer. His deep ocean blue eyes flickering down to your chest, signaling his intent. “Hydra… no.”

Yet, knowing how Alpha Legionnaires are? They like to push, and if they want something? They will get it… under desirable consequences. Sexual or not. They are pretty good at it as they know well… the consequences of their actions, and they certainly know the outcome of this one.

“Hydra.” You warn quietly, taking a slow step back. Observing Hydra for any potential launch from him. Another coo leaving him, this time more teasing as he takes another step. “Hydra, no.”

You inhale when he comes forward quickly than expected, your body scrambling to twist around and run. Barely getting past the corner of the hallway before you’re snatched. A stained yelp leaving your lips while you’re lifted up in the air and your back pressed up against the armored chest-plate of another marine: Ascelepius. His left metal arm cold, and sending a shiver up your spine while he wrapped himself around you and popping back into the couch in the living room. His metal arm moving to your neck and gently pressing your head back against his pauldron as his other, intact hand goes down to your stomach, thumbing there while he nuzzles into your cheek.

“Ascelepius!” You give a mix between a hiss and a whine. Your hands embracing his constricting arms. “That’s cheating!”

This marine with the same color armor as Hydra but a bit duller, simply purrs into you. Nuzzling your jawline. His hand on your stomach inching downward. It doesn’t take a genius or a wife to know what they are entrapping you in their hands for. They can be quite oblivious of what they want, but sometimes? They can be quite naïve too.

Your skin gives a twitch when Hydra slides his cold gauntlet under the bottom of your top. A hitched sound between surprise and uncomfortableness coming from you. “Really? My… you are greedy.”

The legionnaires plays hurt at your words, very well understanding of them. A sad coo leaving him while still rising his hands up. To push your top up so he can view what they were craving for. His body leaning in to give you a kiss before turning his attention to your breasts once more, nuzzling them first. The feeling a bit awkward and painful at first as he starts off very gentle. Kissing your swollen cleavage slowly, testing his boundaries with you. Seeing what makes you wince or keen into him. He knows if he does anything remotely damaging to you Solor would hunt him for days on end. Though, he’s starting to like those little hunts…

Ascelepius on the other hand, is more keen for keeping you trapped up against him, unmoving while his hand that was at your stomach travels under the waist of your bottoms and sliding over your undergarments. Teasing you, feeling how you shift against him as he feels your warmth just covered by a single article of cloth.

They both hear you whine softly, making them pause for a second. Checking up on you, giving you small coos and rumbles into your skin and ear in order to sooth you before Hydra slowly goes in for his shot. His lips wrapping around your tit, suckling upon you. His gauntlet coming back down to wrap around your waist as if to keep you on place when Ascelepius was already doing so.

“Y-you’re both trouble.” You stammer, wincing slightly as Hydra feeds but it was slowly becoming more pleasing as Ascelepius keeps teasing you from below. His middle fingers going up and down before eventually sliding them under your undergarment and slowly filling up your heat with his middle finger. Purring at you when you keen and gasp, making Hydra growl a little at your movements. His hold on your waist tightening.

One of your hands move from Ascelepius and moves to Hydra. Your hand dragging behind his bald head, feeling the smoothness of it as you encourage him to take more from you despite Solors warnings for him not to. He wasn’t the boss of you. Plus, you were sure of your own body that you could produce more milk for your child before he gets hungry again. There was also been a couple of times where your breasts were to uncomfortably swollen that you needed relief anyways, and Solor wasn’t around to please. So, more to the Legionnaires.

Your hand thumbs at the back of Hydras’ head. A hitched gasp leaving you as your eyes flutter at the feeling of Ascelepius sinking another finger inside of you: the two middle ones. His lips teasing your open neck that he keeps in place up his pauldron. Another pair of rough lips meeting your own then.

“Levi…” You moan softly into another Legionnaires mouth: Leviathans’. Your lips meeting his as he purrs a greeting. His armored body: blue and silver iridescent colored, leaning over. Kissing you as he pleases to get some attention himself. You swear sometimes they have some sort of sense of where if one of their brethren is getting some action halfway across the world? They have to get some too.

The trio keep you on a heightened pleasure, slowly growing it. Ascelepius keeps his actions reasonably slow, thrusting his fingers in and out of you, curling them in spots he knows that make you melt into their desires. Hydra continues to feed from you, occasionally switching tits and licking his lips in order not to make you too uncomfortable. Kissing your cleavage and gently kneading your mounds here and there. Wanting those extra brownie points. Leviathan keeps his kisses up, making you breathless, and if you didn’t have enough energy in the moment before of the other two? He settles on just pulling and sucking at your lips before making out with you again.

At a certain point, your eyebrows furrow and a moan leaves your mouth while your body shivers and huffs. The legionnaires give you loud, satisfied purrs at your completion. It’s been a little while since they could have your attention like this. Since they could have the afterglow of you upon them. They either had Solor on their asses or they couldn’t sway you so easily.

“Legionnaires.” A deep growl goes through the air that was once warm. The familiar, robotic voice making Hydra pull away from your chest with a pop, and Levivithan lean back up to look at who decided to join- er well, shut down the party while Ascelepius continues to hold you against him, making sure you’re alright. His fingers paused and still inside of you.

Hydra, being the more testing of the band, licks his lips, making sure that Solor notices that he fed from you. A teasing smile growing on his face that somehow always manages to trigger the Gray Knight as Solor surges swiftly forward. Almost capturing the cocky little legionnaire in a single swipe that trills mischievously before zipping away, and around the corner like some house cat in the middle of the night getting zoomies.

“Little snake…” Solor growls, standing tall in front of the couch before observing the scene before him again. How Ascelepius had one of his hands between your legs and his metal gently on your neck. Something protective and warm rising within him once more. “Keep her there, Ascelepius. I have a brother of yours to deal with.“

Oh, he just has to be a step ahead in all forms, doesn’t he?

Guys hear me out.

Jinwoo x Valorant AU. + Reader ofc

Jinwoo's parents are dead due to the "First Light" incident. He somehow survived but got turned into a classified Radiant.

First Light was a global event around 2039 that unleashed Radianite, a powerful new energy source. It caused weird phenomena and led to the rise of Radiants, people with powers. A shady mega corporation, Kingdom, tried to control it all. To fight the chaos (and some parallel Earth stuff like Omega and Alpha), the Valorant Protocol was formed.

Chapter 1 ; Strange guy, Strange feelings.

It's been awhile since a new agent arrived in the protocol. Ever since they've recruited You, a new sentinal, no one seems to have much interest in finding a new recruit. That is, until a strange guy caught Iso's eye.

“Hey, guys. I know the protocol has been quiet lately, but, I think I have someone in mind.” Iso seemed serious as usual, though he does seem a little nervous this time around. You weren't sure if the others noticed it but you sure did. It piqued your interest however.

“Someone in mind? Introduce us! I've been needing a new friend to binge cooking shows with me!” Clove, the mischievous immortal, joked in response. Most of the others that were there started talking to each other about who it could be and what skill they would possess. Even you started wondering about it yourself. It's only been 4 months since you joined VP, but you already blend in with the others really well.

“Well, should we tell Brim about this first? You should tell him all the details you have about this person first, then maybe we could make our decisions.” Vyse had a good point, you thought. I mean, Brim is the leader anyways, he should know first. We'll follow his lead whether it be to recruit them or not. But you really do wish to see this person face-to-face. You need to know what's so interesting about this person that you could sense Iso's emotion, especially him being nervous. Not something that Iso would show.

A couple days went by and Brim reported back to us about the new recruitment. He agreed to try and recruit the person that Iso was talking about. The mission will be led by Iso, followed by Clove, Omen, Gekko and You. This is your first recruitment mission, so you were a little anxious.

You and the others arrived at the given location, immediately getting off the plane and following the already laid out plan by Iso. You set your traps and wait till Iso gives commands.

However, things didn't exactly go the way it's intended. Your traps were somehow seen and destroyed. In an immediate response, you threw your grenade out, giving a quick flash. You ran to another spot nearby, not wanting to give your positions away. Iso used his comms, “Hey, is everything good there? I saw your flash.” You know if you say anything right now, it might be a dead giveaway. You stayed quiet for a moment before silently whispering in your comms, “I think he's here.”

“Got it. Me and Gekko will switch positions.” Iso immediately took action. Though, it was a little too late for that. You felt a swing passed by and you were now in the hands of the "new recruit". You couldn't properly speak as his hands had a tight grip on your neck.

“Who are you? Why are you spying on me.” He spoke, his voice was low. You could tell this guy is powerful just by how much aura you were sensing, coming alone from just him. “I-I can't.. s-speak..” You plead, if he holds you like this any longer, you might just pass out. He lets his grip soften slightly, not letting you fully go but just enough where you're able to breath and speak properly. “Explain.” He demanded, cold and monotoned. You immediately explained how you're just a mere agent trying to talk to him, trying to recruit him in Valorant Protocol. How you guys had a big interest in him and his skills, how useful they are in battles and such.

Just as you were explaining, Omen came to check in on you just to find you being held by someone. He immediately uses his blind and teleport behind the person holding you. He held a gun to the person's head. “Let her go, we just want to talk. No need to get violent.” Omen sounds threatening, but you know he means his words. There is no reason to be fighting when you're only trying to talk.

As the blind loses its effects, he responded as he lets you go entirely. “Alright. Though, your little teammate here was already in the middle of explaining that to me.” Iso, Gekko and Clove all came to the spot that you last gave comms at. Gekko and Clove were quite surprised to see such a scene playing in front of their eyes, though Iso already expected something like this to happen.

“We meet again, Sung Jinwoo.” Iso walks over to him slowly, not wanting to make it seem like he has any ill intention. “Sorry that it had to come to this, but we're really just here to talk this out with you!” Clove exclaimed, they felt a little bad that Jinwoo needed to be locked in place with a gun to his head. After a couple of moments went by, all of you had finished taking turns in interrogating Jinwoo and convincing him to join. Jinwoo agreed to check the Valorant Headquarters first, though he was a little doubtful.

As he arrived, almost everyone was there to greet him warmly. They started talking to Jinwoo for a bit, even if Jinwoo isn't much of a talker. You stared at Jinwoo from afar, you didn't know why but you just couldn't take your eyes off of him. You didn't even notice that you were smiling as you kept your gaze locked onto him.

“You really like that new guy or something?” Jett playfully teased, she noticed how you were smiling and staring in silent. She couldn't help but tease you for it. “What? N-No! I just want to.. uhm–” Jett laughed as you stuttered, trying to explain yourself. “It's alright Y/N, I won't snitch if you get me some kimbab later!” You sighed and nodded, you know how much of a trouble Jett could be sometimes but you let her be. She's one year older than you, which makes you feel obligated to respect her even if she's being quite a troublemaker.

A couple days passed by before Jinwoo officially made the decision to join Valorant. He stated that there isn't any reason for him to not join, after all, it's for his own good and the others. Protecting what's left for him to care about since his family are gone. He thought, maybe, if he stays he'd get a new purpose. A new family.

Brim had assigned you to help Jinwoo with the tour and guides. You happily accepted your role in helping Jinwoo. You showed him around the HQ, his room, the training field and even taught him everything you knew about the Omega Earth. (Currently, you guys are on Alpha Earth. The ORIGINAL earth)

It was quite awkward at first, you wanted to talk casually with him but you couldn't stop feeling so nervous. You caught Jinwoo stealing glances at you from time to time, but you didn't think too much about it. After you finished your tour, you dropped Jinwoo off by his room.

“Goodnight, Y/N.” You froze for a second, unsure why you felt like dozens of butterflies running free in your stomach. You gently smiled at him, “Goodnight to you too, Jinwoo.”

The next day, you decided to go to the training field and fought some bots. Usually there would be Yoru and Phoenix hanging around here betting on who would win, but thankfully today, they were on a mission. Which gives you plenty of time to train without distractions.

At least, that's what you thought of. You lost your focus immediately as you sensed someone stepping in the waiting room. A purple trail of aura could be seen, it was definitely Jinwoo. You almost lost to the bot if it weren't your traps that saved you. You killed the leftovers before heading to the waiting room that Jinwoo is in. “Nice skills you have there. Is that why they call you 'The Clutcher' ?” He sounded genuine but it was quite hard to tell with his cold expression and body language. “Thanks and I uh, I guess so? Though, it's quite a silly nickname.” You nervously chuckled, you didn't know why but everytime you see Jinwoo or talk to him, your heart races. You didn't want it to distract you from your missions, so you try to ignore it.

Was it important? Sooner or later, those feelings will definitely catch up to you. But for now, it's just a strange feeling.

You talked with Jinwoo about the protocol and your experiences with it so far. You enjoy talking to him, he's a good listener and responder. You guys shared some similar experiences and interests. At first, Jinwoo wasn't much of an open person, but slowly, he talks more to you. He even invited you to train together, wanting to build teamwork skills with you.

You could tell that Jinwoo is very experienced with handling battles. Just how he hits all his shots without breaking a sweat, how he manages his ability usage and how easily he defeats the bots. Especially defeating Maxbot. That definitely caught you by surprise, no one has been able to defeat Maxbot alone and yet somehow Jinwoo did it with ease.

“You're an absolute god! You're killing it out here, Jinwoo!” Excitedly, you exclaimed. Just watching Jinwoo fight out in the training field was already so thrilling. You couldn't wait to see him fight on the battlefield, alongside you and the others.

“Ah, you're giving me too much credit. It's nothing too hard.” Jinwoo seemed humble, he doesn't want to admit just how strong he truly is, or maybe he doesn't understand just how strong Maxbot is compared to the other agents, making it quite the achievement to be able to beat him in a solo match. He could tell you were thrilled to see him fight, he enjoyed your reaction. He found it amusing and frankly, quite adorable.

You both bonded more over lunch time. Talking about more casual things, favorite music, foods, drinks, etc. You both did share a similar taste, making it much more of a fun conversation. As you both exchanged some casual information about each other, Yoru came by to sit down at your table with Jinwoo.

“My god Yoru, what is it now?” You annoyingly sighed upon his arrival. He sat down right next to Jinwoo, taking his signature butterfly comb out to fix his hair. He smirked slightly, looking back and forth between me and Jinwoo before opening his mouth.

“Nothing. Just wanted to join in the very fun conversation you guys were in.” Yoru is clearly trying to annoy you. This is definitely because of Jett. You immediately suspected it was her doing. “It was nothing interesting. Just us talking about what we share in common.” Jinwoo assured Yoru. Jinwoo didn't exactly want any attention to be drawn to him or you. He could tell that you were clearly annoyed by Yoru's presence.

“Hm, if you say so. I'll be leaving then.” Yoru got up, pat Jinwoo's back and left just like that. Walking away as he swings his comb around, playing with it.

“Sorry about that, Yoru has always been quite—annoying.” You sighed once more as you sipped on your drink. “Hey it's alright, don't let his presence ruin your mood.” Jinwoo seemed genuine, his gaze softening ever so slightly towards you. You didn't break eye contact with him for a moment, letting his gaze linger around you. That is, until you snapped out of it. “Ah, yeah, you're right.” You spoke, trying your hardest to hide the fact that you enjoyed his gaze. How it slightly softened, how his soft yet intimidating silvery eyes stared right back at you, how mesmerizing it was to be lost in his gaze.

He let out a relieved sigh before getting up from his seat. “Well, we better go rest for now. We do have a mission coming up tomorrow.”

“Yeah, we should. I'll see you tomorrow then?” You too got up from your seat, wanting to walk your way to each other's room together.

“Mhm, good luck tomorrow, Y/N.”

“You too, Jinwoo. Do your best!”

Note; Crazy crossover but this literally strikes me in the middle of playing my rank up game LOL 😭 I couldn't stop thinking about it so here I am, writing my AU 🥀. Hope y'all like it as much as I do because this is definitely going to be an ongoing series !! It'll take awhile before another part comes out since I do have multiple requests at the moment, so be patient ya! ^.^

Oh and don't be scared to ask me any information about this AU or Valorant in general! I know not everyone play/look into Valorant so I'm more than happy to share my knowledge~

I'm still trying to improve my writing, so excuse any mistakes!

Hi 🙋

[basilbots]

Solar's Sun is everything we expected him to be and I'm in agony that in his goodbye to Solar he said we love you. Even though that isn't true :'D

Sunny wanted Moon to like Solar, hell he seemed ready to accept him into the family right away but hesitated because he didn't know how Solar n Moon felt about it, but Moon refused to give a damn about him. Still in his final moments with him Sunny tried shielding Solar from Moon's resentment claiming they both love him and care about him I'm OTL

why is namek like that

i had a namekian specbio post drafted but along the way i got distracted with the namekian sky, so im just jotting down a bit of my thoughts about how a namekian solar system and planet atmosphere might work. most projections arent particularly stable, its no surprise they had a severe ecological disaster. we know namek has liquid water, and is an earth-like enough temperature for bulma to be comfortable there, so everything else is kind of bending around that. this super cool article by sean raymond talks about how you might make a no-night planet work. luckily no other planets are ever specified to exist in namek's solar system (to my knowledge) which makes this a lot easier! generally more stars = less planets, so im imagining that namek is the only planet in its solar system.

this is raymond's three star system diagram! in this model though, the planet actually does experience night, but only once every 600 years. im satisfied with this, as we get the information about namek "always having at least one sun in the sky" from dende, who's 8 years old, and likely just hasn't experienced or heard about namek's night yet. there's a lot of fun worldbuilding potential here! supposedly grand elder is only around 500 years old, and given that within his lifetime there was a catastrophe great enough to nearly extinct their species, it's possible that no living namekians know that their planet has a night time. but if they have, it's probably some huge legendary event, and is probably associated with porunga in some way since that's the only time the vast majority of namekians will ever experience a dark sky (do namekians have religion? holidays? questions for later...)

so COOL a three star system works! (as long as you allow for these substantial aus, anything for eternal sunlight..) however due to dragon ball rules we're working with a canon year of only 130 days. this is kinda problematic for a habitable planet like namek. shorter orbital period = closer to the (main) sun. given that there are already two extra suns shining light on this definitely liquid water having planet, this seems like we might have to do some magical hand-waving, which makes me sad because i find that boring. but its at least fun to think about what the magical logic is instead of just saying "eh it works because magic", so i wanted to try that! since the dragon balls operate on their own magical logic they might have a skewed definition of what a "year" can be classified as (and a year is pretty cultural too, right?). also, why do the dragon balls take a year to be able to be used again at all? (aside from plot reasons) like... what are they doing? with the dragon balls on earth, it was kinda easy to presume that they were "recharging" or that the dragon himself needed some kind of "rest", and that this process just so happened to take an earth year. the translations i could find were kind of vague on this, so im taking advantage of that vagueness. being about 1 au from the sun in this model, namek's "year" as defined by how long it takes to orbit its central star is about the same as earths (a bit boring, sorry) ! and the time it takes the other two objects in its system to make a full rotation around their shared center far far exceeds that, so i kind of don't think theres any justification to define a namekian "year" as 130 days other than that being the time it takes for the dragon balls to recharge, which makes perfect sense to me culturally! i mean, given that there are three suns, surely the amount of time it takes for your planets magical wish granting dragon to start working again would be a much more meaningful unit of measurement than the time it takes your planet to complete and orbit around your smallest sun (oh god what are namekian seasons like. probably fucked. another question for later). also from my wikipedia skimming it looks like alpha centauri's planet (assuming its a planet) has a similar orbital period to earth's too. its nice to have some real-life justification 👍

theres more to say about that but im moving on from this part for now. i just wanted to provide justification for a namekian year being however long it needs to be in order for namek to have three suns and still have liquid water.

i wanna talk a bit about the planet itself. namely: why the fuck is the sky green??

almost any other sky color could have some non-poison gas explaination except green. DAMMIT!! but its fine we can make it work. (also the plants are blue. which is actually a lot less problematic but i'll talk abt that later) im referencing this artifexian video for my information here btw 👍he gives a few ways that a sky could appear green but we kinda have to rule out all of them here except for something green being physically suspended in the air, because there just isnt any light/atmosphere combination that makes the sky look green to human eyes. since krillin is a human whos just so super wicked strong he can also fly, id be fine hand-waving breathing a green gas or dust for him and gohan, but. bulma is on that planet too... breathing away... also there's pretty clearly grass on this planet and like, brown earth. so mars like dusty skies dont make a lotta sense either. so i guess artifexian's sky-algae idea will have to work ! as horrifying as the implications are .... either these guys are just straight up breathing in green stuff all the time, or the algae is somehow suspended too high up to be inhaled. (also sky-algae would explain why the planet looks almost gaseous from space)

luckily bulma doesnt seem to be having any problems breathing it that green stuff, but like pollen allergies its easy to imagine that someone would be. which is kinda fun to think about actually. someone having an allergic reaction to the namekian sky, validating bulma's concern about breathable atmosphere would be a lot of fun... BUT I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT FOR NOW !! i have other goals in mind. i just wanted to record this "namek's sky is green because theres guys in there" concept somewhere. also, three suns at various levels of rising at setting at all times, while not portrayed in the anime due to technical limitations, would almost CERTAINLY mean namek would have a really cool variety of sky colors! just all tinted green because of the sky algae. of course sky algae doesnt need to be green all the time, nor does it need to be in the sky (or alive) all the time. maybe the green skies are new post ecological disaster? very fun to imagine pre-guru namekian skies....
