“Let someone love you the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

Prompt #3172

“You killed them. You killed all of them.”

“They said I couldn’t fight, so I proved them wrong.” Her lips quirked. “Dead wrong.”

[chvrmor]

“You killed them. You killed all of them.”

“They said I couldn’t fight, so I proved them wrong.” Her lips quirked. “Dead wrong.”

prompt by @gingerly-writing

tw: murder, blood, strangulation

Hero rolled his eyes at her joke, but quickly turned away to hide a tiny smile. To his demise, villain had a keen eye and had easily spotted his slip. He lowered his gaze to the crime scene below him and pretended to attentively scrutinize it. Despite being secretly smitten by the villain’s skills and great mind, hero had to admit he was unnerved by the sickening scene before him. Bloody criminals murdered in the vilest, most creative ways– one of them even appeared to having been choked with his own crucifix. He gulped and distractedly began fidgeting with his necklace. 

“What? I’m not funny anymore because I got rid of the city’s greatest scum? They even killed children. They had no code.” She approached him and took hold of the agent’s necklace. She pulled on it tightly, making him gasp in a mixture of befuddled, clashing emotions. “I did everyone a service and did what you couldn’t do yourself, golden boy.” 

“You did it for yourself. They taunted you and your ticking, overcompensating ego exploded.” Hero tried to step back, but her hold on his necklace was steady. 

It wasn’t his smartest decision to speak in such a manner to the city’s deadliest villain, especially when his fate could easily be the dead man’s. However, something in his chest made him feel like the one exception of villain’s cold blooded nature. Call it delusion on his part. “Don’t pretend you did it for the people. We both know you don’t do anything for anyone but yourself. I see not much has changed since we dated.” 

In a split second, she yanked him closer until her breath was overriding every one of his senses. Their noses touched and hero stopped breathing. This was most certainly the end of his insolence. 

“I did it for you.”

Hero blinked once. Then twice. His lips slightly parted, but no words came out. Villain’s gaze dropped to his open lips and she pressed a cold, bloody finger against the bottom one. Some long seconds of shock and silence passed until villain took it upon herself to break it. “Now, what do we say after someone’s done a good deed for us?” 

“A good deed how?” 

“By taking them out, I basically cleared up like 80% of your schedule.” 

“What’s the 20% left then?” 

“Picking up from where we left off, golden boy.” 

The feel of her lips against his gladly hadn’t changed at all either.

[chvrmor]

Prompt #1

Villain swears to take care of hero by...blowing up a coffee shop?

“What do you even want at this point, villain? I’m so sick of this, genuinely. It’s I fix, you destroy, continuously, for months, then years, then decades. Don’t you have a job? A lover or someone to entertain?” The hero shouted unrestrainedly at the villain who had destroyed the seventh coffee shop brand installment the hero loved- the seventh establishment. 

“You are even cuter when you’re passionate.” The villain neared them until the hero’s back was pressed against the only coffee shop’s only remaining wall. 

“Cuter? I am stressed, villain! I have a college final at 9 and you blew up my only source of will to live. What did this innocent, community owned coffee shop ever do to you?” 

“I will buy you another one.”

“If you wanted to buy me a coffee, you could have just said so, you-”

“I will build another coffee shop that is not a money laundering scheme like this one was.”

“What?”

“You heard me. Your will to live was based on lies.”

Hero stared at villain with the most confused stare as the remnants of their sanity turned to dust. First of all, it was only eight in the morning. They couldn’t do this right now. Second, was villain rich?

“So shall we?” Villain offered their arm to the starstruck hero. 

“Shall we what, villain? I can’t function. I’m going to need you to elaborate.”

“Will you join me on a coffee date before your exam, so we can discuss the plans for the new shop?” Villain grabbed hero’s arms themselves and placed it on their waiting arm. 

“Will the profits go to you?” Hero scrunched their nose. “You sound rich enough.” 

“It will go towards helping clients pay their student loans.” Villain tried to seem nonchalant after they saw hero’s entire face lit up like a Christmas tree. 

But after some seconds of surprise, and the skepticism, Hero immediately narrowed their eyes at villain and removed themselves from their interlocked arms to cross their arms over their chest. Their beloved hero had always been the skeptical type, and they were clever to be so.

“What’s the catch?” Hero thought it was too good to be true. 

“You let me take care of you.” Villain pressed their palm against hero’s blushed cheek as they waited for their answer. 

“Take care of me how?”

“May I show you?” Villain stepped closer to hero until their noses were almost touching. Villain patiently awaited hero’s answer as their warm breath fawned their flushed cheek. 

“Show me.” And with a touch of their soft lips, villain communicated all the ways in which they’d take care of their hot-headed, but adorably righteous hero.

[chvrmor]

Villain's hired scientist finds captive hero adorable

Hero raised his heavy head off the cool floor as he grappled for anything to help him stand. He couldn’t see anything but darkness painted with glimmers of orange light- energy. He felt deprived of it and needed it urgently. He tried to move his hands far apart enough from each other to grab onto anything, but a chain crackled between his bound wrists behind his back. 

The cold seeped from the floor straight to his knees when he gave up on standing. The ringing sound that overcame him was deafening. He took a moment to assess his situation, despite its lack of context, and realized that whatever personal hell he was bound to, was most likely villain’s doing. However, despite the villain’s usual clever schemes, he must have not known that hero could still see energy outlines despite not technically being able to see.

A door creaked open, and hero quickly turned around towards the sound. Someone barged into the room with hastened steps and began clicking at some keyboard right in front of the hero. Despite the darkness, hero was assured that it was not villain who was at the other side of the container, prison, glass? Who knows?

This mysterious figure had a less sinewy figure, and was definitely shorter than their nemesis. Besides, hero was sure that he heard the sound of heels clicking against what sounded like a classic lair’s sorbothane floor. Perfect material to counter the hero’s energy absorption powers. 

The scientist stared at the hero as he scrambled on his knees to find a wall, or anything to help himself. The villain had hired her- the highest renowned physicist in the nation- to study the city golden boy and keep a close eye to his powers. Now, she had vowed to not get involved with the whole metahumans ordeal, for she didn’t want to be the classic movie “mad scientist,” but the villain had paid a pretty penny for her services, and money was tough these days. 

She couldn’t live solely off reports and acclaimed published papers. Villain, who had been appraising and respectful throughout the whole proposal, had actually offered to pay for her genius, and he promised that she didn’t have to hurt the hero. It seemed that he wanted that honor for himself, and was weirdly possessive over his nemesis- not that she dared to comment about it. 

She finished recording the time at which the hero had woken up from his anesthetic sleep, and she wrote about his current condition, but an abrupt groan snapped her attention back to the confused hero who had bumped his head against the glass. 

“What are you laughing at?” He asked petulantly, which only made her laugh even more. Her laugh, unbeknownst to him, made his heart flutter.  

She couldn’t help but slightly smile at the unexpected humanity of it all. He looked like a normal guy at this instant, despite the obvious enhanced looks and cute nonplussed crease between his eyebrows. The scientists quickly understood why villain found hero so enticing besides his unique powers and all that superhero fuss. He was simply adorable. 

“Did you just call me adorable?” He slowly tilted his head to the left in questioning. 

Oops. She was thinking the last of her thoughts out loud. “Did I? Maybe the cold is messing with your mind, hero.”

Good save. She nodded to herself and tried to distract her mind with the reports. 

“Yes actually. Can you raise the temperature in this place? I know it’s June, but I think 40 degrees is excessive.” 

“And give you an energy shift to feed off from? Good try, but I'd rather keep you non-explosive and me alive.”

Hero stilled. How much did this person know about his powers? “What do you want with me?” 

“Me? Nothing. I was hired by villain to examine you.” 

“Examine me…”

“Nothing but identify your potential weaknesses and such.” 

“And such…” 

“Are you just going to repeat everything I say hoping that I’m dumb enough to disclose more information?” The scientist gazed amusingly at the hero.

“It was worth a try.” 

“Adorable and clever,” were the last words hero heard before he felt a warm hand rub his now flushed cheek. He suppressed a surprised gasp. How had she moved so quickly and why was she now inside, pressing her hand against his cold face? 

“Open wide.” She demanded abruptly.

“What?”

“I am being monitored, but there are fortunately no comms. I can only let you steal so much energy by getting this close to you. Let's both pretend I need another sample of your DNA despite already having three.” She poked the cotton swab against his tongue. 

“That’s invasive.” Hero huffed, but he still nuzzled his face against the warm hand holding his face upright. He felt more revitalized and strong, and he thanked her mentally for the gift of her touch- of energy despite it not being enough to actually break free. 

“I’m not getting paid to be cruel to you, just to understand you and your abilities. A little gift of warmth won't cut off my pay.”

“Enjoy your unethical pay while you can.” Hero fought to quickly stand up but once again stumbled. He was not energized enough. What a lame power limitation. I am basically a human battery. He thought. 

The scientist stared at the pouty look on the hero’s face as she slowly helped him sit after the failed attempt at an escape. She brushed some hair off his forehead and readjusted his slipping blindfold. She noticed how he chased her human warmth and made a conscious effort to slow down the “examination” process in order to allow him to indulge in it a little longer. 

“Trust me, I will.” She gave his soft cheek one last stroke before leaving the container and closing the polycarbonate glass doors to it- just in time before the villain came down to pay the lab a visit. 

[chvrmor]

My week would be made if a continuation of this was posted

The villain had to admit, they were not immune to the sight of the hero kneeling before them. 

"...cannot fight two wars at once," the hero was saying, steady and dignified, their clenched jaw the only sign of their tension. "In a choice between the annihilation of my people or surrender, I come to negotiate terms that will be mutually beneficial against a common enemy."

"Interesting," the villain said, popping a grape into their mouth. They had day dreamed about this, though their version typically involved a couple guards to hold the hero down. Never had they dreamed the hero would give themselves up of their own accord. "Or, I could make smart decision and sit back, watch you and this new challenger exhaust yourselves, and then swoop in to pick up the pieces."

The hero's jaw clenched even tighter. "If you do nothing, the only pieces left for you will be salted fields and mass graves," they said, almost smoothly enough to hid the raw anger under their words. "I did think you were more avaricious than that."

"Careful, you're throwing insults," the villain said, standing to their feet. "That's not very appropriate when you're begging me to save you. No, no - stay down."

The hero took in a great, shuddering breath, but sank back down to their knees from where they had started to rise. Their face was flushed and their hands clenched around the mudstained hem of their tunic, but they kept their glare fixed on the villain's. The villain didn't mind. They held the hero's gaze with a grin as they strolled down the steps of their dias.

"There will be no negotiation," the villain hummed, savoring the fury and the helplessness in the hero's face. "I get your throne. And I get you."

The hero jerked back as if struck. They did not break eye contact, the villain had to hand it to them. But there was no surprise. Just a despairing acceptance that the worst was happening. "A... a marriage alliance is certainly a solution I am prepared to consider," the hero said.

"Oh, if this were a marriage proposal I'd be the one on my knee." The villain reached out and ran a hand through the hero's hair. Just because they could. The hero shuddered deliciously under their touch as the villain leaned in. "You'll be mine," the villain whispered in their longtime rival's ear. "Whatever I choose to call you, however I choose to use you."

"I'm not accepting that," the hero breathed out.

"You don't have a choice-" the villain started.

"-unless you guarantee my people's safety," the hero finished, eyes fixed past the villain. They were trembling but still so defiant, so brave. "Half your best forces to my borders within the week, another quarter within the month. And no throwing my people off their land - you take them as your own to defend."

The villain stopped in their tracks. Looked down at the hero. "I said no negotiations."

The hero managed a faint smile. "And yet here we are. Negotiating."

The villain drew their dagger. The hero closed their eyes but did not flinch. "Look at you," the villain hummed, teasing the hero's chin up with the edge of the blade. "Out of friends, out of soldiers, out of resources. Begging on your knees and you still don't realize your position."

The hero swallowed again, throat bobbing against the knife. "Take my deal," they said, the self sacrificing idiot. "Save my people. And in return..." Their hand wrapped around the villain's wrist, warm and gently promising. "In return, I suppose you can teach me my position."

The smart play was to do nothing. The smart play was to wait this war out. But the hero was on their knees, on their knees, offering the villain everything... The villain couldn't say no to that. And they didn't.

The Detective and The Villain

tw: sleep deprivation, mentions of dead family members

The rain poured down way faster than the ten large cups worth of coffee the detective had downed in the span of four hours. Not even the loudest thunder striking right outside could keep them awake. They were hunched over their desk with their head propped up on one hand while they tried to blink some concentration into their vision as they attempted to focus on the case’s twentieth page of disconnected yet supposed evidence.

If they had not been so tired, maybe they would have heard the creek of the window behind them sliding open. Maybe they would have not dismissed a tingling feeling down their side as merely it being the wind.

They could only drown on the papers, pills, and coffee while the gravity of their worries and feelings of inadequacy pushed their head down. Their eyes got teary as they stretched, lifting their arms over their head and angling their body side by side while pulling on their elbows. The detective did this once, and then went for it twice, until they felt a soft caress circling around their waist.

They jumped forward at the startling touch and accidentally knocked over their remaining coffee over a lengthy case report they had been working on for the last three hours. “Shit!” They hurried and tried to save some papers from getting soaked but the majority were done for. They had felt someone touch them, but there was no one. As the remnants of their sanity slipped away, so did they slip to sit on the ground and rest their head against the table’s wooden leg.

Villain stared at them feeling guilty for being the cause of this mess. They didn’t bother owning up to that yet. Besides, they had come here to make a deal with the detective. The smart, hard-working, exhausted and good looking detective whose hair and pouty lips seemed impossibly soft as they sulked due to the mess villain themself had caused.

Villain walked up behind the detective while they came up with at least thirty different terrifying threats, but their resolve fell as they stared at the usually smiley, now brooding detective. They fought against the urge to delicately card their fingers through their hair, but lost against it. The detective sighed at the soothing motion, but the villain could see the furrow of their brows.

I’m losing it, the detective thought.

The villain decided to execute their initial plan before they were accidentally enticed by the detective’s cuteness. How did it go? Oh yea..Threaten and steal.

Now, how could they do that to the overworked, diligent, adorable detective who sighed at their touch? They were heartless enough to drain someone’s entire circulatory system with the flicker of their hand while being invisible, but they were not heartless enough to do that to one of the only uncorrupted people working under the judicial system in this city. That was how villain justified their interest in the detective at least.

The detective felt soft fingers snaking around their chin and propping it to look upwards. For a second or two, they stared confused and scared at absolutely nothing until the villain made themself visible right in front of them. Their eyes widened as they quickly stood up from their kneeling position beside the table and stood up in a dignified yet clearly terrified way.

The detective had heard all about this particular villain. They were the top suspect at various cold blooded murder cases in which witnesses claimed that the victim simply began bleeding out in broad daylight. No poison was found in none of the victims’ system and there was no one to pinpoint this case too, until the detective themself had discovered a pattern.

All of the victims were somehow related to the San Martino case. Whether it be by being a previous business associate or rival. This villain right in front of them, dazzling as they looked in their leather suit, was also responsible for hunting down every single person tied with the case concerning the death of the detective’s parents and older sister.

Now that they had been found, and were the only relative alive, would the villain get rid of them too? Were they after their family’s previous fortune? They didn’t even claim one cent of it in hopes that this wouldn’t happen. They didn’t want the deadly attention and possible death that was to come due to being a San Martino in hiding. The detective couldn’t breathe.

“I can see the gears turning and burning inside of that pretty head of yours.” The villain took one step towards them and they took one step back. “Relax.” Step. “Are you not going to be nice enough to ask what it is that I want?” Step. The detective’s lumbar was now pressed against the edge of their desk. “Are you just going to assume the worst, dear detective?” The villain placed their arms just at the sides of their hips, caging them in between the desk and the villain’s frame.

The detective avoided their burning gaze and finally gathered the courage to ask, “What is it that you want?”

“I want to find the last San Martino.” The villain’s voice was just above a whisper.

“What?” The detective panicked. This must be a joke. A cruel one at that. They had made sure that the San Martino case was assigned to them and them only in order for them to be able to bury their name and all of the traces leading to it. Yes, they knew it was not ethical to sabotage the case assigned by the police captain herself. After all, they had to put a lot of… physical work into getting such a coveted case for whoever cracked it would have also cracked a gold mine. The detective meant to make sure that no one would discover that they were the last holder of their family name. They even made sure to craft an entire fake life story. They wanted a life of their own.

“You were assigned this case, detective.”

“Yes, because it’s a cold one and my boss hates me. Dead ends all around.” They hoped the lie sufficed.

The villain stared at them through narrowed eyes and then moved back. The detective sighed from relief until the villain grabbed the coffee soaked papers from their desk. “I’ll give you a deal, sweetness. If you give me weekly updates on this case, I’ll drain the coffee out of these reports and leave them just as new. As if they had just been written.”

The detective gaped at them. It was a tempting offer. Rewriting those falsified reports would be a hassle. Besides, the police captain needed those by tomorrow and it would help them steer the investigation as far from their name, or rather fake name, as possible.

“Weekly updates then…”

“Yes, over a coffee, because you seem to like it a lot.” The villain said as they threw six empty cups in the bin.

“You didn’t mention that part…”

“Aw you’re scared that you’ll actually grow to like me?”

“It’d be unethical of me to compromise my work and give intel to you of all people.” I’m a hypocrite, the detective thought.

“But aren’t you exhausted from working on these? Imagine having to redo them all. You need your beauty sleep.” In the last minutes of distracted thinking, the detective hadn’t noticed that the villain was once again in their personal space, now tracing their bottom lip with the pad of their thumb. They shuddered, but didn’t move. The villain’s offer, including the unspoken one, were quite tempting.

Alright. I can just continue to falsify the reports. Give villain dead ends too, as I’ll do with boss and steer them both away. It’ll be fine… The detective thought and willed themself to let the words escape their toyed lips.

“I accept your terms, but I can only meet up with you for the weekly intel on Wednesdays…”

The villain gave them a satisfied smirk and patted their cheek twice before backing away and flicking their wrist in a strange circular motion. Slowly but surely, all of the coffee was drained out of the reports, which were then placed into the detective’s hands.

“Water manipulation…” The detective thought out loud and then blushed when they noticed the villain’s intrigued former smirk, now smile.

“I’ll be glad to further amuse you during our little coffee dates.” The detective looked down to hide their blush.

When they looked up, there was nothing left behind but seemingly freshly written reports and the window left wide open.

Some threatening tactic that was..
