Warm Voice | Phoenix x Reader

Tags: fluff, established relationship, cuddles, calling Phoenix by his name

WE ARE BACK IN BUISNESS MY FRIENDS - thought I'd start with something fluffy as a treat for y'all <3

holy boy where do I start (the fic is below if you dgaf about my life update lol) Pretty much I completely and I mean completely forgot about tumblr,, life happened and 2025 has already been uh... something! But i'm back now and I hope you all enjoy!! (PS,, I take Arcane requests too ~xoxo Micha)

You had always been a touchy person, in the sense that, well, your love language has always been physical touch. Maybe that's why you and Phoenix had always got along so well, it was always something, if you weren't within arms reach of each other it was only a matter of time until you two were practically trying to mold into each others bodies. It was really quite something, whenever you two sat down it's like your bodies were made for each other, fitting together like puzzle pieces.

It was a lazy Saturday morning at HQ and you and Phoenix had found each others embrace. Phoenix of course was spread across the length of the couch and well he was practically begging for some company. "Sit with me babyyyy" He'd said, it had sounded almost like a whine, it made you giggle and how could you say no?

So here you are now, your head lying on his chest, the gentle rhythms of his heart rate being oh so calming. You had never known such peace before, all your troubles melted by Jamie and his unwavering and unconditional love for you.

"...--That mission was bonkers remember?! It's always soooo cold in the Icebox, I couldn't believe it when--...." You caught bits and pieces of the conversation but really you didn't know what Jamie could be talking about. Something about an Icebox mission the two of you had ran together with Yoru. It was a fond memory, even if it ended with a run in with your counterparts. This however, was the furthest thing from your mind.

Jamie was absolutely engrossed in his own story telling, petting your hair and keeping a warm hand on your waist to hold you close. He just barley noticed when you stopped responding with small reactions like "mhhm" or "that's nice" He smiles fondly down at your sleeping figure, bringing you closer to him as he continued to quietly play with your hair.

Words would never be enough for Jamie, they would always fail him when it comes to you, your laughter, the sound of your voice, that mischievous glint in your eyes whenever you came up with a silly prank. Jamie loved every bit of you, and seeing you here, trusting that he would hold you close. Well, there's not a fire in the world that could melt his heart the way you do.

A/N: Ho boy it's been awhile I've been all wrapped up in school and other such things but even though finals are about to start I felt like writing for you all <3 Tags: Fluff, Established relationship, hurt/comfort

Burns: Pheonix x Reader

On the battle field it can be a rather hectic place, especially when you're running frantic trying to defuse a bomb that threatens to unearth the very ground you stand on. You were the polar opposite to your lover Pheonix, or rather- Jamie as you called him, But not now, this was battle, you had call-signs for a reason. To keep you safe.

Like your lover you too were a Radiant, cursed by the Raidionite to be one with the cold and ice. Yoru had found you in the snows of Ice-Box when he went to go retrieve his armor, since then you've had a sibling-like relationship; you weren't complaining though, he could be kind when he wanted to--that wasn't often though.

Now you were back on the costal area that the protocol had dubbed "Haven," You were standing gaurd on C-Site with an Operator and Pheonix when you saw what you were dreading to see. The enemy. It was strange, they really did mean it when they called it 'Mirror Earth.' Without thinking you fired a shot that rung through your ears, hitting the enemy Sage in her lower abdomen. You froze. You were trained to kill and yet- "FROST-" Pheonix who was by your side shoved you out of the way with burning hands as a shot rang out--a shot that surely had hit you had Pheonix not been there. Though through the adrenaline his hands had left a burn mark, nothing to severe, but when the contact had been made you let out a small yelp. Pheonix quickly shot up a wall and with his still burning hands he scooped you up and moved you behind a wall, he could feel your heart racing. He spotted the burn marks quickly and shook the worry away as best he could and looked into your eyes; "I'm so sorry- Y/n- Frost-" He was cut off by the shot of more shots ringing out, your team had arrived, thank god, Jett and Yoru were now on site with you and Skye was on the way. "Frost, are you okay?" Yoru's voice played through your com and you nodded to yourself before replying with a shaky: "Y..yeah.." You took a breath, trying to get a hold of yourself "Alright let's finish this," ~ Time Skip ~ The battle ended successfully and the Mirror agents had run off back to their mirror world, as you all piled into the transport you noticed that Jamie was uncharacteristically quiet. "Jamie..? You doing okay? You're not hurt right-?" You asked, the anxiety in your voice peaking at the thought that Jamie could be hurt and you didn't notice- "Oh- nonono-! Of course not, I'm fine I just- I should've had more control, I hurt you, and- I'm just- I'm just so so sorry." Jamie was bouncing his leg, and you let out a breath of releif "Jamie, you saved me, if you hadn't gotten me out of the way I would have absolutely gotten shot. I can't afford to freeze like that on the battle field again..."

You sighed, leaning against Jamie, cuddling your lover, contemplating the world you lived in. "I guess we both got things to work on huh.." Jamie chuckled a bit, wrapping his no longer burning hands around you "Yeah,, but.. we'll do it together"

[potential-fool]

Wow it's a real shame there were no more TBB episodes after Pabu, kind of a short season but I guess that's how it goes sometimes! :) Glad to see Rex and Cody rescued Crosshair and brought him back to the group.

good luck kiss :]

Can you write Jinx, Silco, Viktor and Vander dealing with a reader who stayed up late to work or just finished a massive workload?

Oh I feel that Anon. I try to make a routine for myself so I get enough rest each day.

Pairing: Jinx, Silco, Viktor, Vander x Reader

Tags: fluff, domestic, overworking, cuddles, kissing, comfort

A/N: You don't need to work all the time to have value. Take a break every once in a while and treat yourself.

Depending on how late you stay up Jinx might try to convince you to come to bed early. She really misses you and she likes to cuddle a whole lot so you better not overwork yourself. If there's anything that she can do to help you finish work faster she'll do it, even if it's just getting you snacks or drinks. Will occasionally bend down and kiss you on the cheek for good luck. When you do finally finish work she will wrap herself around you and tell you not to get up from the bed until the next day, it's time to sleep, you've more than earned it.

"Workin' still sugar? How much longer till you're done? That long?! You're really set on finishing this huh? Can I do something for you then? I don't know, can I get you anything you need? How about a kiss then? Oh now I have your attention, I see how it is. Lean in then."

Silco understands the need to finish work, even if that means overworking yourself, it's what he did for a long time, especially since he became a father. That being said he also sees the value of keeping things organized and scheduled. If he sees that you're working way too much and not taking time for yourself he will offer to help you organize your day better so you have time to rest and spend time on yourself, and of course spend some more time with him.

"Darling you're working a bit too much lately don't you think? I understand how you feel, but it's not good for your health. Come on, finish this and then I'm taking you to bed. No. Not for anything lewd, you're way to tired for that, don't even try to tell me that you're not. I can give you a kiss for good night sleep however."

Viktor is no stranger to staying up late to finish work. Although he's not used to being on the other side of that. Seeing how tired you get makes him reflect on his own behavior and how worried you must be when you see him looking as tired as you do now. The moment you're done he'll take you home and get you into bed, only pausing for kisses and affirmations. He offers to split up work in the future so neither of you have to stay up so late again.

"Now I know how you felt darling, seeing me working myself into exhaustion. It's not pretty. You know it's not. I understand that it's important, believe me I do, but not at the cost of your wellbeing, you taught me that. Let's go to bed hm? In the morning when you're well rested I'll help you finish up."

Vander was always a hard worker so he knows the signs of someone burning themselves out from work. There's no way he's gonna let that happen to you while he just watches from the side. If you insist on finishing work then he will stay up with you and the moment he sees that you're done he'll take you in his arms and give you a bunch of kisses while he carries you to the bedroom. He will make it clear to you that you can't do stuff like that to yourself. Work is important but you are much more important to him.

"That's quite enough darlin, you've worked enough for the day. At least take a break. Really? Even if I let you sit in my lap and I kiss you? Haha, there we go, knew I could convince you. Finish up and then we can cuddle all you want, and I'll give you all the kisses you want. And to further sweeten the deal, you can pick the spot I kiss."

M M MMMMMMM THE FLAVORS ARE MELTING ON MY TONGUE

..

I'm sorry for sinning

no i'm not

hello ⁠♡ can you please do the arcane women with a reader who is touch starved?

Touch starved like me? Do you think they could fix me? I think yes.

Pairing: Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, Sevika, Grayson, Cassandra, Mel, Ambessa x Fem!Reader

Tags: fluff, cuddles, hand-holding, reassurance, cheek kisses, praise, touch starved Reader

A/N: A few of these characters are also touch starved so you know... takes one to know one and all that.

Jinx is very physically affectionate with you. Like very, very. That works out great for you because you can finally have those soft touches and looks and smiles that you've been craving all your life.

You can always feel her hand somewhere on you. Your shoulder, your back, holding your hand. She probably spends more time clinging to you then not. Doesn't care who sees it or what they say, if you're feeling alone and unwanted she will make it a priority to make you feel loved and wanted.

"Ain't gonna stop holding ya until ya tell me to sugar. Is the answer never? Fine by me. Great even. I've had partners tell me I'm too clingy before so I was honestly a little worried. Don't ya just love it when things work out? Only more proof that we're made for each other."

Vi is also touch starved. She is very, very touch starved. The smallest show of physical affection makes the both of you melt for each other and makes you crave more.

Blushes a lot and avoids your eyes when you hold hands yet tries to act all suave when she has her arms around you. It's almost like a shield that she's putting up around her heart. Little does she know that there's no need to for that around you.

"You fit so nicely in my arms sweet stuff, can you give me some more sugar with a kiss? I'm not asking twice. Based on the look on your face I don't have to either. How many? As many as you want. I'll never get tired of them."

Caitlyn will give you all the hugs, kisses and affection that you've been missing. She's been showered with affection while growing up, maybe not the kind that she wanted but she's not touch starved.

Loves to cuddle with you. You don't even have to ask. Whenever you're in the mood for it her arms are open for you. You're pretty sure that she spoils you with affection. There's no setting where she's not comfortable at least holding hands with you.

"Looking at me again darling, do you need something? Are you still shy? There's no need for that, come here, I'll hold you whenever you want me to. Feeling better now? Too bad, I had a few kisses ready for you. But if you don't need them I guess-- mnn! Ah, there's that pretty smile."

Sevika showers you physical affection whenever you ask. Hell sometimes you don't even have to ask, she just pulls you into her lap right there in the bar.

There's no shortage of kisses or touches of any kind. She actually rather appreciates that you don't shy away from her metal hand like some people do, with good reason she sure does pack a punch with it. You don't need to be scared of her ever, the only touches she'll give you are the loving and pleasurable kind.

"What's up with you sugar lips, I thought you liked me touching you. Maybe more when we're alone. I'm gonna be honest with you, it's hard for me to keep my hands off you. You're hot as fuck and well, I can't have people ogling my girl like that. Gotta make it clear to them to stay away."

Grayson is the sweetest person with you. Usually she has to keep up this tougher front for the Enforcers and try her best to be an example.

But when she sees you in the morning she can't do anything but wrap her arms around you, her touch light but her kisses firm and enjoy the way you melt against her. Nor will she get tired of the way you welcome her home and hug her tight, all her tiredness and stress just melting away from the sight of you.

"You have to stop with these ways of welcoming me home sweetheart, otherwise I won't want to go back to work. That's your secret plan I bet. Knew you were up to something. Only took me a few years to figure out what. Yeah, you're incredibly evil. Now that I have it figured out I guess I'll have to handcuff you."

Cassandra really wants to spoil you with lots of physical touches and at the same time she doesn't want to be too much. She'd hate to drive you away because she's overbearing in some way.

If you're the one who initiates the touch or if you kiss her or compliment her then she will return those ten times as strongly. When she's sure that you don't think she's being a bit too much she could hold you all day, or at least until there are things that she needs to attend to.

"Are you sure darling? Hm, very well then, let me scoot over. You're not a bother I was only reading. It's nothing important, not more important then you anyway. I don't have anything that requires me to get up early tomorrow, so we can spend all night like this. Would you like that?"

Mel is touch starved just as much as you but unlike you she doesn't show it. Not for a very long time at least. She'll let you indulge in her touches and signs of affection as much as you want, just don't expect her to be so open about her wanting the same.

Her melting into your touch as you do for hers is a very big sign of trust of her to you. She has no problem with you looping your arm around hers or even having your arm wrapped around her all night long, if you let her do the same to you, in that way she feels like you're being equally as open and vulnerable with each other.

"Don't look at me like that darling. Like what? Like I'll vanish before your very eyes. Haven't I made my intentions with you clear? There is no one more important to me then you. I can't remember the last time I've let someone hold me like this, or held someone like I hold you."

Ambessa might be too touchy. Maybe just a little. The woman will swoop you up in a bone crushing hug and a breathtaking kiss whenever she sees you, no matter who's around to witness it.

She's not embarrassed of showing you off, or showing off her affection for you, not when she knows how much you want and love it. But she does understand if you're not one for public affection. No matter, even if it's just when you're alone she makes sure let you know how loved and cherishes you are.

"Sit over here sweetheart. Right next to me. I missed you this week. Missed me too huh? I can tell. Don't worry I know of a few ways to make up for lost time. Your adorable shy laugh never gets old. Oh, did you get more bold while I was away? I love you in my lap don't get me wrong, just didn't expect it right this second. You're more eager then let on."

[potential-fool]

them <3

Could you do headcanons for what the members of the bad batch would be like as husbands??

The best kind? The hot kind? The wholesome kind? Everything.

Pairing: Hunter, Crosshair, Tech, Wrecker, Echo x Reader

Tags: fluff, domestic, space husbands, cuddles, kissing, bathing together, sharing clothes, flirting

A/N: All of them are lovely but if I had to pick it'd have to be Hunter.

Hunter would be the first one up in the morning, a routine carried over from the war. He tries not to wake you up with it though, instead really loving to take a shower later and cuddle back up in bed with you if you don't get up in the meantime.

He never forgets your anniversary. Even if he's away when it happens he will bend over backwards to make time to call you and tell you everything he loves about you without fail. His dedication to you is his most admirable trait, he never lets you feel like you're alone or undeserving of love and his full attention.

"Stop grilln' me sweetheart, I ain't telling you nothin'. What kind of surprise would it be then? And actin' surprised isn't gonna work either so stop lookin' at me like that. They ain't takin' me away on our anniversary this time and that's a bloody promise. Of course I mean it, have I ever lied to you?"

Crosshair is as strict when he's married as he is as a soldier. He has a schedule, he has a way of doing things, he expects things to go a certain way. He's very serious about keeping things in order.

A bit of a neat freak. He makes it fun though, there's always music in the background and he pulls you in for a dance and a kiss and a an occasional slap on the ass. Takes things too seriously sometimes which can be a lot to deal with but it's nothing you're not used to by now, at least you can always be sure he's being honest in the things he says, and he has a lot, really a lot, of things to say to you.

"If you keep that up doll I'm dropping this and picking you up instead. We can cuddle later, just let me finish this first. Oh? And what sort of compromise were you thinking? Temping, very tempting. Hm... I knew there was a reason I married you. Ouch! It was a joke! Yes, I know a rare one, savor it, like I'll savor you."

Tech is a planner. He always plans your dates, your anniversaries, your vacations, and is the handyman around the house while you handle the rest of the chores that he's not that skilled at. He tried to cook once and... well he doesn't speak of that incident anymore.

He's still not the best at relaxing after a long day so he lets you take the reins, lets you drag him to the couch or a warm bath for cuddles before he dozes off with his head on your lap. He has an alarm set so he never oversleeps, even when he's dead tired. Lucky for him you've developed a similar sleeping schedule so he's never alone for long.

"I was thinking we can choose that for our next vacation spot. I'm able to take a whole two weeks off soon and I know you like that place sweetie. I will spend the whole duration of it with you I promise, no distractions to speak off. Except for you that is."

Wrecker is the kind of husband that carries your photo with him everywhere and brags about you to everyone who he happens to get friendly with. Which is a lot of people. So you can bet that there are a bunch of people out there who know all about how much he loves you.

Goes bonkers when you wear his clothes. He absolutely melts at the sight. It's cute, it's funny how big his shirt and pants are on you. Because he knows you like them he always brings extra whenever the two of you go anywhere together. Always cuddles with you when he's home, you will not get away from this mans hugs and kisses if you try. But why would you?

"What? Can't I stare at my sweet stuff looking sweet wearing my stuff? Heh, yer a dream come true I tell ya. I wanted to surprise ya so I told the boys to keep our arrival on the downlow. It worked didn't it. Come here, I need me some sugar, and Force knows ya've got plenty."

Echo is very openly affectionate as a husband. He's never not holding your hand or smiling at you, alone or in company. He feels very lucky to have someone like you in his life, the best thing in his life really, and he will spend every waking moment remind you of that.

Makes you breakfast every morning, regardless of if he's leaving for a mission or not you can expect the two of you to eat together when he's home. Likes to wrap his arm around you from behind and kiss the crown of your head when you're in bed. Always ready to listen and give advice.

"I did not stay up late love, you're just up very, very early. It's not even four in the morning. Why did I stay up? Ah come one now, how else was I gonna get everything ready on time to surprise you? Losing one night of sleep is nothing to me. I've stayed up for worse, seeing you smile? That's all the reason I need to be the best that I can ever be."

[potential-fool]

May I request;

A reader constantly, randomly squeak about how cute they are, with sova/ Phoenix. (example, they be chillin' and eating or whatever then they hear 'AHh you're So cute!!!')

A/N: I gotchuuuu B) I'm interpreting this request as the reader being the one squeaking <3

"So Cute!!" Sova & Pheonix x Reader

Pheonix [Jamie Adeyemi]

This would melt his heart tbh

he'd do it back

it would turn into well.. you'll see

You and your lovely boyfriend Jamie were sitting and watching a movie in your shared apartment, it was the movie 'Up' and Jamie had somehow never seen it before.

Jamie was being his normal goofball self and you didn't realize it wasn't just in your head when you went: "You're so stink'in adorable-!!!!! I can't stand it!"

Jamie paused upon hearing this, turning to you with a bright smile and rose tinted cheeks as he pulled you in closer, "Naaaahh!! That's you!"

You then realized you'd spoken aloud, mildly embarrassed you blushed a bit but decided to commit-

"nope! it's you!"

"nuh-uh I don't believe it"

"well believe it because you're adorable!"

"Say what you want cupcake but you're far more adorable!"

This back and forth would go on and on, I'll let you decide how it ended :)

Sova [Sasha Novikov]

bro is smitten tbh

you just know his pale ass face is turning into a cherry

grumbly little denials

You could be a bit of a tease with your boyfriend sometimes, never anything naughty (mostly), but you just couldn't help it! The look on his face was always priceless.

Today you two were cooking in the kitchen together, making breakfast- you looked over to him as a groggy yawn escaped him- "GahhH-!! You're ADORABLE!!!"

His faced turned rosy and he shook his head, his long hair messy- he tried to use it to cover how red he knew his face was but it didn't work, you parted his hair and reached up to cup his cheeks.

"..'m not adorable.." Sasha mumbled, his mind still fuzzy from sleep

You giggled, obviously more awake than he was,

"Oh but you are my love" You looked at him with a loving adoration that absolutely melted his heart

"What did I do to deserve you?" He wondered aloud, holding one his hands over one of the ones you had cupping his face and drawing you in close with his other free hand.

You smiled a warm smiled and returned the affection with a small and loving kiss

"You deserve the world Sasha.. and I'd do anything to give it to you.."

[potential-fool]

How would sage react to reader refusing to get healed by her or Skye? Reader doesn’t want them wasting energy and much rather just patch themselves up and go (even if it’s a shit job).

How would Sage react to after countless times of reader turning down the healing and slowly recovering her finding out why they refused?

A/N: First of all, I love me some sage x reader so thank you for requesting this ;-; Second- where are my dom!sage enjoyers?? I need to collect y'all so I can be surrounded by dom!sage content This became a lot more wholesome than originally intended but yk what we chillin

"Let me help you love" Sage x Reader

You were not one to ask for help, or accept it when it was offered. As a child you were praised for this trait, people would tell you how strong or tough you were because of it. And while this wasn't done with any malicious intent it still had a negative affect on your life to this day.

You were a Radiant, with an ability you called "blood-bending." The name alone being fairly self explanatory you could manipulate the blood of yourself and other creatures. You tried not to use your own blood... though... you didn't always have other options.

Lately you haven't had other options.

You were dedicated to the protocol, already having accepted that each mission you took could very well be your last. This, along with your refusal for help led to a lot of.. well.. you refusing to accept the help of your fellow healers.

At first you were able to pass it off as needing easy access to your own blood, and most of the time it works, even if they don't like you exerting yourself like this.

It was another long mission, you were engaging enemies on a map dubbed Haven, it was a grueling mission and another instance where you'd been forced to use your own blood to fuel your abilities. It was a long.. very long.. and very hard battle.

Though your victory was ever more satisfying.

Sage was checking in with everyone over the coms as you all headed back to the rendezvous point.

"(Y/N)..? you're awfully silent, are you okay?" Sage's voice rang through your earpiece and the deadly projectile you made of your own blood changed from a hard object to liquid as you released your focus from it; the blood splattering down onto the ground and making your uniform stain red.

"I'm..." You struggled to speak through the dizziness in your head "I'm fine Sage... really.."

Sage did not believe you and unbeknownst to you while she had the others make their way back onto the ship she went out to your location, meeting you half way to the pick up spot.

You'd wrapped a crude bandage around your arm where you'd drawn your own blood but it was hard to do even a half decent job when the pounding in your skull was all you could think about.

Sage's pace quickened as she spotted you "Oh my darling.." She cupped your cheek, worry flooding her tone "I can patch you up, let's get back to the ship"

"It's okay.." You heaved, each breath feeling like a task to complete "I..- I can do it myself,, you look tired... don't waste your energy on me... I ca...." Your voice faded, trialing off and you fought for consciousness. "I can do it... do it...." Your head was spinning, and the spinning soon morphed into darkness as blood loss and exhaustion took over.

Sage caught you in her arms, more worried now than ever before, she called for Sova to come help carry you--she knew she could carry you herself--however--not while trying to heal you at the same time.

Sova arrived quickly a concerned look on his face as he saw the state you were in "Again...? It's getting bad Sage.. you must talk with them.."

Sage sighed, nodding a small nod. Sage was fixing the bandage on your arm and patching up the major cuts on your body before simply healing the smaller ones; cyan fog emitting from her hand as she used her gift to help you.

The next time you awoke it was in the infirmary of the Protocol's home base. Sage was by your side when consciousness finally returned to you, "...mmph.." You managed to pull yourself up into a sitting position, the sound of movement alerting Sage that you were awake "..shit...I'm sorry Ling- you shouldn't have to-"

You were quickly cut off with a soft kiss from your lover, a quick and loving kiss, though one that did the job Ling needed it to.

"Don't ever apologize for needing help, it's okay my love.. let me help you, let Skye help you.. I could've lost you-" Her voice began to break, as she cupped your face, tears pricking her eyes, "You may be okay with death but It's my job to keep you alive. My love.. I need you.. and I need you alive.. please... why do you refuse my aid?"

The desperation in her tone.. in her eyes.. it was a look you couldn't stand to see and as the tears began to roll down her face you felt them in your eyes as well

"I just..- I.." "I don't wanna burden you- waste your energy- it should go to anyone other than me... gods know I don't deserve it.."

You'd never admitted that to anyone before.. it felt.. nice... to get it off your chest.

Ling's expression shifted to one of grim determination, "My love.. my darling, my starlight, you are far from a burden. You are my north star, my guide in the night, and you are anything but a burden. This ends, no more feeling like this, the next time you feel like this please tell me, we can work it out... it may not be easy but.. you must try... for me...?"

The tears rolled down your face and you pulled Ling closer to you in a warm and loving embrace,, "oh'kay... for you.... thank you.."

"Anytime starlight"
