[vampire-exgirlfriend]

Ten characters. Ten fandoms.

Thanks for the tag @theradioactivespidergwen 🖤 I love this!

1. Aemond Targaryen

I don't think any of us are surprised by this. Aemond is...the boy is everything to me. He's let himself become so warped and tortured by his trauma that recovery and self betterment were never an option. He's full of rage, he's cutting off pieces of himself to stay Mommy's good little boy, he's begging his father via his actions to notice him, notice him, notice him. The toxicity is off the charts and I would give my life for this scared child in a man's body.

2. Nesta Archeron

Nesta is a stone cold bitch and I would die for her. This woman, barely not a girl, was ready to sell her body to ensure a better life was possible for her sisters, and the entire time she was denigrated by Feyre for "doing nothing" because what she did was woman's work. Who do you think did the cooking? The cleaning? The clothes mending? She helped end a war. She was violated. She had her autonomy stripped from her. She was not allowed to process her trauma in the way that came naturally to her because it was a mirror that Rhys couldn't handle looking in. Very few people deserve a happy ending as much as she does.

3. Kylo Ren

Give me a character that is tortured by their actions and the legacy of their past and I will show you my favorite little baby in the whole world. He's so alone. He doesn't know his way in the world. He can't live up to his mother or uncle or father or grandfather and it's eaten away at something vital inside of him, leaving him rotting. The mental torture and abuse he's endured at the hands of Snoke have twisted him into something unrecognizable. And I love him, damn it.

4. Ophelia

She is hope. She is madness. She is full of life and love and all of the things the people try to chip away at as we grow up. This rendition of Ophelia stands above the rest for me because she was finally given the opportunity to set aside her suffering and continue on, even if it's with the knowledge of what genuine pain feels like.

5. Zuko

Are we really surprised by the addition of another angry young man searching through vindication and the reclamation of his honor by living up to the expectations of people who never truly cared about them? This list has a theme apparently. Zuko had one of the best and most rewarding character arcs of all time and his journey is one I literally watch over and over. Also Zutara forever.

6. Sansa Stark

Sansa is all of the things that were conditioned not to like when it comes to a character. She's feminine and a little whiney and naive. She's fodder for torture. And yet she's also one of the strongest characters in this entire series, both book and show (boo hiss). Sansa Stark turns her fear into hope and her hope into strength and I will never not love her.

7. Fleabag

I am her. She is me. Fleabag will never fail to rip my entire heart out and feed it back to me. She's awful. She's incredible. She's in pain. She's stumbling through life in the dark and using her suffering as a marker on the map.

8. Astarion

The theme continues. Suffering? Check. Insurmountable pain? Check. Using his body as a way to ensure his safety? Check. Saved via the power of love and friendship? Check. Astarion's arc follows a typically feminine-coded route and I was obsessed from the get go with this cunty little man. I want to wrap him in a blanket burrito. I want to sink my teeth into him. I want to spray him with a hose.

9. Eddie Munson

I'm not sure I've ever loved a character quite like I've loved Eddie Munson. The absolute heart of gold inside that poorly tattooed chest literally fuels me. He's insecure. He's an asshole. He's kind. He's angry. He's unsure of his place in the world. I will forever ignore the senseless tragedy of his death. It never happened. Nope. No. If I loved him less, I could talk about it more.

10. Dani Clayton

Dani Clayton, the love of my life. Though she weeps and trembles and avoids at all costs, there is no one stronger than Dani. She's suffered since the beginning and never let it stop her, not until she had to save the woman she loved by giving her very life. Tortured, haunted, so full of grief that it had nowhere to go. I would literally die for her.

[the-navistar-carol]

Thinking about how, when I first listened to the Lunineers’ Cleopatra album, “Ophelia” or “Angela” didn’t stick with me. Not “Sleep on the Floor, or “My Eyes,” though they’re all in the same vein of ‘sad song wondering about what could have been’

What stuck with me was “Cleopatra,” and especially because of why I was listening to that album — I listened because someone else liked them. Someone else, across the country, liked the Lumineers. So I listened.

Wholeheartedly in the vein of “analyzing and romanticizing my life like a novel,” I think there’s more weight to hear the but I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant/damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around than just what they said. they said more to me, with the late for the love of my life, with the when I die I’ll be on time.

But I read the script/and the costume fit/so I’ll play my part.

I’unno. Maybe I’m overthinking. I’m most likely overthinking and adding weight to something that’s just… that. A song. A sad one, but a song. Even so, I like the weight. I’ll always associate “Cleopatra” with that person, not just for its meaning, and also because they love that artist. I’ll associate every single Lumineers song with them because of it.

Maybe that’s okay, too.

Richard is a Cryo Catalyst, he just doesn't use his vision often.

[liaa--qb]

Why, do you think, helaemond is more popular on ao3 than alysmond?

see people like that particular ship more and why they like it ? I am gonna say this answer very clearly in simple words as general audience/reader. I read FnB after watching HOD s1( n I still don't know why this book has so much hype cz it was just normal😑 if I compare it with my other favourite fantasy books). I dk wtf happens on twt, I am not twt stan thankfully that place is worse, some of my friends r so Ik how rubbish some people behave there .

Aemond to me is a character who is someone very perfect material for ETL ships or forbidden ships😂. I myself find Rhaena/Aemond or Aemond/strong daughter of Rhaenyra ship way more interesting than alysmond but that's never gonna happen😅

Then there's Helaemond which is also a forbidden ship. Main point of these ships would be that " Aemond is the typical bad guy who will fall for someone good.🤡🎃" That's how mostly fanfics n reader works usually go for in every fandom😹. Same thing kinda goes for Halaemond , as Helaena is pure Angel while Aemond is a villian. It's giving all typical bad guy-good girl dynamic with forbidden incest which actually suits HOTD alot😅, recreating borgias scandal again !

These are the major ships of Aemond -

Aemond with strong bastard of Rhaenyra

Aemond with any girl on team black side( daughter of Daemon/Rhaenyra)

Aemond with Helaena

Readers and writers like these following ships of Aemond more than any canon so ofc they would go for that whether it's ao3, Wattpad or anything. Aemond and normal servant or any other oc is more famous than alysmond 😭 and it's just reader's choice, no one forced them.

Moreover the way Aemond is , he is someone who would definitely go for valerian targ blood girl if his narcissist ass had any chance.

I usually don't get attracted to incest alot. I adore dany but I am still not fond of Jon/Dany 😭 & never will. It's all chemistry. Milly n Matt also had good chemistry 🔥 I got attracted to halaemond during episode 8, 9. Idk but chemistry was real good when they were just staring at each other. I still don't know why that guy turned his whole fucking chair to watch her dance with Jace !

Halaemond is providing more content for drama, forbidden, incest, cheating on green side and they do have a chance of becoming a kinda forbidden tragic couple. In short their couple actually reminds of something 'hamlet n Ophelia', very much. One can write alot if they want to n unlike other ships of Aemond it actually has chance on screen. So why not ?

though I appreciate every ship including alysmond too but I genuinely don't consider it was any romantic ship just the way some Stans like to say n I have reasons for it. It was sexy, they were partners with benefits like melisandre and stannis but never romantic to me. Who knows I might get attracted to alysmond if gayle and ewan's chemistry turned out to be good. It's different for everyone, right now to me other ships of Aemond have more appeal than alysmond, [nothing against alysmond 🙌 ] it's just my own preference n I am not shaming or forcing anyone.

Poe cup champs

A filler for the Nevermore series

Summary: Dany gets throw into the Poe cup last minute and helps the team sabotage everyone for the win. Even if it meant wrestling her guy best friend and crush.

Warnings: cussing, mention of smoking weed, pinning, flirting, “cheating”. Xavier gets horny for Dany ;) definitely’10 things I hate about you’ vibes (my inspo for the end) @valeskafics here ya go bestie boo 💚💚

Enid was buzzing about the Poe cup that was this Saturday. She was painting the canoe with Yoko and some other girl I didn’t know. I knew Xavier was entering, he always has. It would be nice to see Barclay lose at least one time of us being here.

“Dany!” My cousin yelled at me

“I’m coming, goon!” I walked as I tucked the weed into the pocket more.

We walked to our spot in the woods and sparked up and forgot about our worries of being a teenager in a outcast boarding school. Soon enough we were walking past the girls painting their canoes.

“OMG! Dany, you should totally join us for this Poe cup!” Enid ran up to me and Aemond. Aemond stifled a laugh as the werewolf jumped around.

“Enid, I love you but no way! I don’t do water!” I gave her a small smile.

“Please! It will be so fun!”

I said no and plus Aemond and I always skip the Poe cup. It’s tradition” I assured the blonde wolf.

“And do what exactly?”

“Enid!” I sighed as I walked off from the two blondes.

I was walking back to my dorm when I saw Xavier and the boys working on their boat. AJax saw me and waved me over

“Shit”

“Oh hey Dany!” Xavier stood up and wiped his hands

“Hi, I’m not joining your team” I looked up at him

“Dany, you’re a girl and you don’t live in our dorms” Ajax giggled

I grabbed my boobs and moved my shirt back enough for me to see my chest and bra, “Oh my god that’s I am! Thanks for the tip”

Xavier giggled as his best friend and teammate sat back down and painted again

“Watch it” I grinned

Xavier pulled me into his chest as he wrapped his arms around my waist, “Did you smoke?”

“Mhm yeah. I went with Aemond” i mumbled as my face was mushed in his chest.

——- Friday night, Ophelia Hall common room

I walked up to my dorm from hanging out with Alys and I heard crying

“Enid?” I opened her door as I saw her crying on her bed like a child.

“Oh sweetheart! What happened?” I shut the door and put her in my chest as I hugged her

“Yoko and a garlic bread incident. She had an allergic reaction and won’t be able to do the Poe cup. My life is over!” Enid cried

Damn it, Bianca Barclay!

“Hey I’ll join to help our dorm” I sighed

She pulled away and smiled, “Thank you! I love you Dany!”

“Love you too. Now what’s your plan to sabotage the other teams?” I smirked.

————— Saturday morning, Poe cup

I walked down the grass to the Poe cup and where I was to meet Enid. Xavier was painted like the Heath Ledger joker.

“Awh you playing a little dress up”, I snorted at him

“Hahaha! I thought you were skipping this?”

Xavier smirked down at me

“Your ex girlfriend decided to fuck Yoko up with garlic bread at last night’s dinner. I found Enid all stressed so I decided to help her out” I sighed, knowing he was gonna give me hell.

“Dany! Go get into your costume” Enid said

“Costume?!” I yelped as she grabbed my wrist.

I walked out in a tight black outfit with cat ears on my head. This was so embarrassing! Xavier and Aemond giggled like school girls. Aemond snapped a picture. “This is the Christmas card”

I went to chase after Aemond but Xavier jerked me up in his arms, “You traitor!” I gasped as he held me close.

“You can beat him up later. Enid will kill you if you don’t do this” Xavier sat me down but not before I could knock his hat off his head

“Heyy what did I do?” He yelled as I met Enid and Wednesday and the other girl at the canoes.

Xavier looked at me and smiled

“Fuck you” i mouthed and started back around

“When are you two actually gonna do it?” Enid asked as Weems shot the gun off.

“Oh you are so dead, Sinclair!” I groaned as the others rowed off

“Just row, Dans!” Wednesday scowled

“Enid, stay here and make sure Bianca doesn’t wreck our boat. I’m gonna distract some jokers” I ran off to find Xavier

He ran towards my tree I was using as a hide out, I grabbed him by his shoulders. Pushed him down and threw his arms over his face.

“How’s the weather, Thorpe?” I asked as I pinned him down.

“Get off me, Daenerys! Don’t cheat” Xavier groaned, trying to flip me off of his thighs. But I had my knees in his elbows.

“No rules so I can’t be cheating” I smirked as I felt him get hard under me.

He looked at me and waited for my reaction, “You think you’re the first guy to get hard because I pinned him. Cute” I smirked as Wednesday grabbed the flag

“Get off, Daenerys!” Wednesday rolled her eyes before running to the boat.

“I’m coming!” I yelled as I bent down to kiss Xavier’s cheek, “Later Joker” I got off and ran before I could see his reaction or tantrum.

“Why do you have red paint on your lips?” Enid asked as I jumped behind Wednesday.

“You’ll thank me later. Now let’s go!” I sighed and I saw Xavier run to his boat.

His teammates yelled and suddenly laughed as they noticed the reasoning why he was late and had a broken flag. Enid looked at Xavier’s cheek that was smeared and mixed with pink off my nose.

“Dany you naughty girl!” She giggled as we passed Bianca’s boat

I looked back as Xavier’s boat stopped and started to sink. He threw his jester hat off as he pitched his fit. “Dany, I’m gonna kill you!”

Enid giggled as we docked and ran to the finish line. Bianca and her team swam to shore with sour looks. I saw Xavier swimming as fast as he could. He was mad but oh well I won! He can get over it!

Alys hugged me and smiled, “congratulations baby”

I felt a tap on my shoulder, my heart sank. I knew by the water footsteps and shampoo it was him.

I turned around, “Oh fuck! Aemond!” I yelled as I look off running

“I told you Dan!”

“Aemond, where the hell are you!” I ran into someone’s chest and I stopped running

“What now?” Aemond sighed, pulling me behind his back as Xavier approached.

“She cheated and got our boat to sink” Xavier said

“Dany how did you ‘cheat’ considering there’s no rules?” Aemond stood between us

“I knocked him off course and pinned him to the ground. Long enough for Wednesday to get our flag and return to the boat”

I sighed

“So are you mad she beat you or that her 5 '3 ass pinned you down?” Aemond scoffed.

Xavier’s mouth opened and closed

“Or that he got hard soon as I pinned him down” I smirked

“Jesus! Go rub one out like a normal teenager instead of plotting her murder” Aemond groaned making Xavier blush.

Xavier stalked off embarrassed, the guilt hit me a little as Aemond chuckled.

“Don’t laugh, Aem” I watched Xavier throw his hat down

_______ Monday, Thornhill’s class

I hadn’t talked to Xavier since our incident and argument in the woods with Aemond defending me.

He was drawing something as I walked in, Wednesday was sitting beside him. I took my place with Yoko.

“Admit you’re a little impressed” I heard Xavier say to Wednesday

It was out before I could stop it, “Wow that’s so much better than diamonds”

The class went completely quiet waiting for Xavier’s response

“It used to impress you, princess” he whipped his head to me and with shit eating grin

“Because I knew it would bruise your soft little ego if I said they were merely okay”, I raised my eyebrows at him and smirked

“Oh you know it’s not little, dany” Xavier’s eyes darken

Bianca held back a choke and the others died laughing

“Alright you two that’s enough!” Thornhill said before we could get another shot out

The bell rang a few minutes later, I packed my shit up and ran out but he caught up

“You’re jealous” Xavier sang

“Piss off” I groaned as I stuck my earbuds in

“Come on, you know you got your panties in a twist when you sat on me” Xavier poked my cheek

“I didn’t wear panties Saturday. Kinda hard for them to get in a twist. Don’t flatter yourself you didn’t have any effect on my excitement” I smirked before I walked off

“Then what did I have affect on, baby?” Xavier asked me as I walked off

I admit he got me a little wet when I felt him under me but he was about to find out.

“Other than my up chuck reflexes nothing” I stormed off hearing Xavier laugh at my denial

[noforkingclue]

By Any Means Chapter 23 (Malcolm Bright x reader)

“I don’t think you and Joseph fully understood how much you fucked over my life,” said Dick conversationally, “I just wanted a normal life and then you two had to come in and ruin it.”

“You could’ve said no,” you muttered weakly, “you didn’t have to-”

“Yes I did,” hissed Dick, “you think that Joseph would just let someone walk away after introducing them to his world? I had no choice.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Yes I do,” Dick’s voice broke slightly but he quickly coughed and covered it up, “you always wanted to be part of this.”

“It was good money.”

“You have no love of art.”

“You bastard-”

You tried to punch him but you were still too weak. You fell limply into the water again and Dick just grimaced. He continued to lay flowers down and said,

“Despite what it may seem like, I don’t hate you. I didn’t want you to wake up. For you to just slip into a sleep that you wouldn’t wake up from.”

“You could just let me go.”

“No. You see, you have to go in order for me to be free from this life.”

“Why?”

“Because you were meant to be there when Joseph had his heart attack,” Dick said bitterly, “if you weren’t sick then it would’ve been you that saw what happened to him. It would’ve been you that feels this way.”

“You got him out,” you said, “you got him to a hospital.”

“He still died.”

“He would’ve died-”

“Don’t you finish that fucking sentence,” Dick snapped, “don’t you fucking dare. This is what I need to do and then I can rest easy.”

*

“You think she’s going to die?” asked Dani

“Yes,” Malcolm said as he ran about your flat, “I do. This is all my fault.”

By now they were all in your flat. Malcolm was practically tearing it apart for any clues that might help him find you. He couldn’t let you die. He wouldn’t let you die. He wouldn’t let anyone else he cared about get hurt.

“Look kid,” Gil gripped Malcolm’s shoulders, “take it easy. You won’t be of any help to l/n in this state.”

“If you’re convinced that Richard is the killer then why are we at your girlfriend’s apartment?” asked JT, “why aren’t we at his?”

“Because,” Malcolm said, ignoring the comment about you being his girlfriend, “he kills people in a manner that is relevant to them. Paintings that are linked to his victims. We’ll find that here. We just need to keep looking.”

“But l/n is an art student,” said Dani, “there’s got to be hundreds of painting related things in her flats.”

“No,” Malcolm shook his head, “no it’ll be something… I’ll know it when I see it. Please, we’ve got to continue looking. We’re wasting time!”

Malcolm pulled himself free from Gil’s grip and began to look through your flat again. Gil nodded at Dani and JT and they joined in the search, although with less enthusiasm than Malcolm. Malcolm paused when he reached one of your sketch books. You usually let him flick through them but that one you didn’t. You would slap his hand away and give him a teasing smile.

“Just another secret of mine,” you’d say, “to add to the collection.”

Still, Malcolm was sure that you’d forgive him if it meant he’d save your life. Malcolm took a deep breath and opened the book. At first it just looked like another one of your sketch books. However, the further Malcolm got through it, the more he realised what the drawings were of.

“You found something there, kid?” asked Gil

“Yes.”

“Fucking hell,” said JT as he looked over Malcolm’s shoulder, “those are-”

“Drawings of the murder portraits,” finished Malcolm, “which must mean…”

He turned over the page and grimaced. He trailed a finger over the drawing. A copy of the painting of Ophelia.

“I wonder,” he said, “what made her change the location of it.”

“You recognise it?” asked Gil

“Yes, don’t you?” Malcolm threw the book to the side and bolted towards the door, “now we’ve got to hurry. We still might be able to save her!”

[wodania]

What's your process of elaborating costumes and cultural markings in your art? I really love the Targaryen face paint you go for and also how you portray Betha's clothes so I was really curious as to where it all comes from!

In terms of the Targaryens, I mostly use Byzantine reference, though I also like playing with my own styles based off of Byzantine silhouettes and trends. Betha’s dress in my Betha and Egg piece is pretty strictly Byzantine-inspired with the decorated collar and cuffs. Her hair was my own creative choice and wasn’t based off of anything in particular. Her crown was inspired by some costumes in the film Ophelia, which I haven’t watched but am familiar with the costumes of. I drew her in Targaryen attire due to her being Queen Consort of King Aegon V. As a note about Egg, his own costume isn’t inspired by any culture, actually. Instead, it’s entirely my own creation. The style does hold up against the Byzantine-inspired costumes, however, so it doesn’t look out of place.

The Targaryen face paint has ended up becoming a staple of my artwork, and the secret behind it was honestly the Valyrian wedding costumes from House of The Dragon. In the scene, Rhaenyra and Daemon smear each other’s blood upon each other’s lips as part of the wedding ritual. I thought the concept was cool, so I took it and turned it into a style of face paint. As for the patterns I use, the red smear on the lip and chin is a callback to the wedding costume in the show, while any other patterns are my own creative addition. I only ever use bright red for them due to blood being the original inspiration, as well as a present theme with House Targaryen. The face paint also doesn’t show up in every piece featuring a Targaryen, as in my concepts, it has gone out of fashion by the time asoiaf begins. That’s why Shaera is depicted as having it but her sister isn’t; it’s considered ‘traditional’ and ‘old fashioned’. Daenys has it because she’s valyrian, while Dany wears it bc I think the symbolism is cool.

---- Drabble Summary ----

After the night events, a new day has arrived. Oblivion seeks her friend, Sai for advice. Itadori requests a favor for Jinx and things are starting to calm down.

-----

----- Oblivion's office -----

"So that's what Ophelia told me..." Oblivion said. Silence fills the other line before a sigh, "I see. Then it's a good thing you came to me." Said Sai.

"Yes, I wonder if there are any records of people she helped and or a case where she was used or rather...forced to do a criminal's bidding."

"Yes. Because of her being drugged, I suppose what triggers her outbursts is needles and drugs which leads to her area being quartine so nobody will get in or out. Right now, Yuuka is being monitored but that's all." Oblivion said.

"Based on that statement alone, she must have been a vigilante then." Said Sai. "People whose quirks that are labeled dangerous or worse villainous by the public would be forced to take quirk theory or such. Even so, quirk theory sometimes doesn't work out and it will foster disdain. In Yuuka's case, despite all that, she wanted to be a hero until she was betrayed by the people. Because of that, Yuuka changed to the worst as she is forced to be there because of not only quirk but for own her protection."

"How is that even protection, Shdwkyz???" Oblivion growls.

"Just an observation of dealing with people who know what they're doing..." Shdwkyz sighs, "I bet the authorities or rather maybe the DA is the one who decided to put her away from the public or such because of her quirk. Not to mention, maybe someone doesn't want to get out and keep her quirk under control."

"Hmmmm....who would that be?" Oblivion asked.

----

"That is something I'm going to investigate on my end," Sai said, thinking that maybe asking Terry about it might help out. Knowing him, he must have information involved Yuuka. "That said...you need to monitor the situation and don't try to do anything reckless. Also knowing Ophelia, she must be trying to find a way for an alternative. She might ask some help." He said.

"Got it. Thanks Shdwkyz." Said Oblivion.

----- T Prison - Ink's room ----

Ink yawns as she gets out of bed. She rubs her eyes and yawns. New day, new morning. Ink does her usual morning routine. Shower, get dressed, makes her bed, and has a quick breakfast of coffee with milk and sugar and a plain sesame bagel. She is alone in the room as she chews.

If she had to guess, Kali must have been patrolling till she got tired and Jinx must have been monitoring Itadori Yuji last night after that huge brawl at the cafeteria. "Man...she must be tired after that last night." Said Ink. "I need twenty more minutes to sleep after breakfast." She said before nomming on a bagel.

---- Itadori's Soldiary Cell ----

Morning came but nobody knew it was morning since there is one window that showed that it was still dark out but the sky was azure meaning dawn was coming.

Jinx passed out after rounds and rounds of sex between her and Yuji Itadori. She was worn out, she fell asleep when morning came. Her reddish brown bangs cover her eyes as she sleeps.

Soon, she wakes up with a small gasp as she now wakes up and looks around the ceiling. Wait...where's Yuji?

A soft snore is heard behind her. She blinked as she felt strong arms around her waist and his soft warm lips against her neck. She gulps a little. She looks to him over his shoulder. She sees Itadori is asleep. Seeing his peaceful expression even with a bit of drool, it was completely different from last night.

Jinx covers her face with her hands, now blushing red. The way he dominated her was something she never experienced before. It was...it was freaking amazing. Not only that, she never experienced something this good. It's way better than...f-fighting! I-It's like...she wasn't sure if she could forget it. Like ever!

With that in mind, she now wonders. Now what? Would anything change since they did it?!

"....." She wonders what time is it? Ugh...there is no clock inside so she looks towards the window. It's dark blue so it means dawn is coming. She needs to find her clothes, get dressed, maybe make it in time for a shower, and get dressed again. As she went to move away, she was pulled towards close.

"Huh?"

A yawn is heard making her stop. She felt the nose pressed against her neck. "Mornin..." Itadori utters as he goes to nibble on her neck, making her yelp. "M-morning! I-I have to go!" She said.

"Already?" Itadori asked.

"Y-yes! I have to get ready and-"

"How about five minutes?" He said, keeping her close to his chest. Jinx warns, "Itadori..."

"I know, I know that you have a job to do." Yuji caresses her head with a smile. "Besides...you might have trouble walking."

Jinx yells, "That's because you didn't stop! You went crazy!" Jinx whined. Itadori laughs, "Sorry, sorry!" He gives her an apologetic look, " I can't help it you know! You were really warm inside-"

Jinx smacks his chest, "Don't say it like that!" Her face is blushing red. Itadori keeps on laughing, "Sorry, sorry. You know...it was amazing last night." He said, putting an arm up and rests his cheek on his hand. "...." Jinx looks down. "Does that mean...."

"Hm?" Itadori tilted his head at her. Jinx covers her face, "Does that mean...we're going to do it again?" That got a chuckle out of him before going to pet her head once more. "If you want to, I don't mind doing it again. It's really fun doing it with you."

Jinx blushes.

"Also. I have a favor if that's alright." He said.

"A favor?" Jinx asked. Itadori nods, "Yes. I was wondering if I could get a bigger cell for me and my two other friends. After what happened at lunch, I think that guy wants some payback and I don't want my friends to get caught up in it."

Jinx blinks, taking in his words and processing them. Such a request makes sense so why not? "Okay...."

"If you do that, we can go again!"

"Eh?!" Jinx became flustered, hearing that. "W-wait...really?"

"Yes really." Itadori tugs a strand of hair behind her. Jinx doesn't know what to say, "O-okay then! I will put in a request." She just needs to tell Warden Kinie Ger when she gets back. Itadori smiles, "Great! Now let me help you get redressed."Said Itadori as he helped her get dressed. Jinx blushed when Itadori helps out.

After that, Jinx wishes there's a mirror but Itadori helps her out with that by telling her that she looks good.

"Thanks." Jinx said, blushing looking back and forth as she twirled her hair. Itadori smiles, "No problem. Anyway...is my time over in solitary confinement, Officer Violet?"

"Hm?" Jinx blinks before sighing, "Yes. Let me lead you back to the cell." And so, Jinx escorts him back to the cell.

----- Officers' Office -----

"Morning Kali!" Ink smiles as Kali comes in with a grumble. "Morning."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Kali said. Thinking back to her conversation with Rex. She never thought that he was doing this for his baby sister and the fact that SUkuna helped her to feel much better. Still, what does Sukuna want in return? After all, it seems like Sukuna won't do this for free unless Rex already done enough and Sukuna rewards him. Maybe...there's a reason that Sukuna wants Rex, his fraction and his baby sister released. Now the question is Ashley made a pack with another demon. Another warden. Rex haven't said who the warden is.

Kali thinks about Rex but growls.

"Hm?" Ink blinked.

"Like I said...it's nothing. Just looking over the prisoners. Anyway...where's Jinx?" Kali asked. Ink blinks, "Probably looking after Itadori and maybe his gang." She answers. "She might be back."

---- Yuji's Cell ----

Dawn is slowly coming.

Itadori finally came back to his cell, he yawned upon entering not before thanking Jinx for the escort back. He sees Megumi and Kisho sleeping on the bed in each other's arms under the blankets. The smell here tells Yuji of their last night's activities. He can't help but smile a bit as he goes to caress their heads. Megumi's spiky hair and playing a bit with Kisho's huge red strand of hair, tugging it back behind his brown bangs. Megumi has Kisho in his arms with him resting his chin on his head while Kisho is sleeping close to his chest. Their soft snores sound peaceful and cute. It's like seeing a wolf curled around a red bird, making sure the bird is protected and secured. So adorable.

Thinking back to what Jinx said about what she knew from the incident in the cafeteria. Maybe he should reward these two.

But first...maybe some more sleep before the day starts.

----- Officers' Office -----

"Hi guys!" Jinx yawns, coming back. She rubs her back. Man, she never thought doing it with him could make her feel like this. She couldn't imagine if she was a human.

"Hi Jinx! How did your night?"

"M-my night?" Jinx blinked. Kali nods, "Yeah? Itadori didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

"No. He was good last night. I find out that he snapped because one of the prisoners messed with him and threatened his friends." And her. But Jinx won't say that. Jinx smiles. "But he did put in a request that he wants a bigger cell for him and his friends."

"Huh?" Kali frowns.

"He's worried that the prisoner he injured will want payback and he doesn't want his friends to get hurt," Jinx explained. Ink nods. "That makes sense. If you tell, Warden Ger. She will agree. I mean my guys have bigger cells."

"That's because..Warden Ger doesn't have a choice." Kali sighs but agrees with Jinx on this. "Alright...once Warden Ger gets back, just tell her."

"Right." Jinx nods. She will do that.

---- Itadori's Cell ----

Itadori catches up with some sleep. He wakes up, feeling that he has enough sleep and so he goes to check the time on his phone. An hour before morning roll call and breakfast. He goes to check his smartphone and sees if there are any messages from his older brother under the covers. Then he hears soft groaning and moaning. Hm?

He peeks out from the covers and it seems like Megumi and Kisho are awake. Megumi is on top of Kisho, slowly grinding his hips into him while Kisho is moaning softly. Looks like they're still hungry for each other after last night so no doubt, they're doing morning sex. It's one way to start the day.

"Ah...ha....Megumi...mmfmmm" Kisho moans as his hands are pinned down by Megumi's. Megumi grunts as he keeps moving his hips inside of him. Kisho arches his back slowly as Megumi hits the right spots within his sensitive hole. Megumi pants as he can feel Kisho tightening up again.

"Kisho..." Megumi leans against him, letting go of his hands. Kisho wraps his arm around his shoulder and clutches his back as he lets out more small moans. "M-megumi..." Kisho moans. Megumi growls as he gets close. Kisho is now wrapping one of his legs over Megumi, pulling him close while he claws his back, uttering his name into his ear.

His dark red and brown bangs cover his eyes so Megumi pulls away a little because he wants to see him. He pushes the bangs away to see his eyes. His reddish-brown eyes. They glow pinkish when he is aroused like this. Kisho opens his eyes, revealing those hues. He looks into Megumi's emerald eyes as he pants.

"Ha...h..nugh."

"Ha..ah...Mmmfmm...mmegumi." Kisho panted. His dazed and blissful expression entices the shadow sorcerer to kiss him deeply before he starts to snap his hips into him deeply, making the flame sorcerer moan into his mouth. The two fight for dominance, but Megumi won that battle, making Kisho moan further.

Jeez....Itadori thought, watching this. That's pretty hot. He always knew Megumi is pretty hungry for Kisho whenever he was in the mood plus Kisho couldn't help but be like this when it came to his moans and faces. Despite being a goofball, Kisho always has his moments. Whether in a battle or in bed. Kisho has a way of making Megumi go crazy for him.

"Kisho...I'm coming." Megumi tells him making Kisho's breath hitch as Megumi goes to move faster now.

"M-me too!" Kisho said as he shut his eyes tight. Megumi growls as he increases the pace of his thrusts. Kisho bites down on the bed sheets, trying to muffle the moans so he won't wake anyone up. Kisho's hole begins to clench around Megumi as they're both getting close.

"MMMFFMM! M-megumi! Ffffushiguro-sama!" Kisho cried out before he came again on both of their chests. Then Kisho let out a low moan when Megumi thrusts into him deeper, filling him up with his warm load.

"F-fuck..." Megumi said as he was sweating now as he went to bite on Kisho's neck. The other moans softly before he kisses Megumi on the lips. "M-morning..." He said.

"Ha...morning." Megumi chuckles as he is now lying on his side. Kisho hums a little as he closes his eyes.

"Well...looks like you two are up and had a good morning workout."

A voice startles the two making them turn their heads to see Itadori chuckling and grinning. Kisho's eyes lit up despite being a little tired from the sex, "Yuji. You came back!" He smiles.

"When did you come back and...." Megumi scowls a little, "How long have you been watching?" He asked, a little embarrassed.

"Long enough to hear the sweet sounds. I just woke up after you got started. Seems like you did it without me."Yuji waves his hand at them.

"There's nothing to do last night and I had to discipline Kisho a bit." Said Megumi ruffling Kisho's head. "So we make use of the time here while you're away," Megumi explains while Kisho closes his eyes, nuzzling against the gentle touches.

"So what happened?" Megumi asked.

"Jinx told me why I beat up those guys." He said. "She understood. Plus I ask her to get us a bigger cell."

"Wait...really?" Kisho asked. Itadori nods, "She said yes and she can see what she can do. Anyway...did you hear from those guys who messed with us?"

"That guy you pulled some teeth and tongue is still in the infirmary, but he would be out soon since he's a demon. The others are staying in their cells. Still punished." Megumi tells them. "So far... nothing is happening. The Six Claws are not doing anything either." He said.

"Got it, got it. I asked Jinx for that because those guys can be a pain. I mean...Hayato isn't that bad but some demons think humans are weaker and want to mess with me. Still...big brother always say that you gotta be one step ahead so that's why I asked."

"That makes sense," Megumi said, still petting Kisho's head.

"Anyway...let's get ready for roll call." Said Itadori.

----- Officer's office -----

"Mornin." Warden Ger comes back as she is in her casual clothes. "Am I assured that everything is in order while I was away?"

"Yes, Warden." Said the three officers.

"Good. That's good to hear." Warden Ger will visit Sukuna's again prior to their agreement. She didn't mind it at all. Maybe she will learn something about him.

"Um...Warden Ger. I would like to put in a request. Itadori wants a bigger cell for him and his friends. He has concerns about the prisoner he harmed. He is worried that the prisoner might retaliate against him and his friends. He doesn't want his friends to be harmed." She said.

Warden Ger thinks before nodding, "Request approved. I will move Itadori and his friends to a bigger holding cell area that is mostly emptied. Since it's big. You can easily watch over Itadori and his friends. It makes sense since his stay is temporary."

"Thank you, Warden." Jinx said with a smile.

"How about you two?"

"I was thinking of getting Denji into classes so he can complete his GED plus I want to give a chance to the other guys as well." Said Ink. Warden Ger hums, "Give it a shot. Officer Vin-Shia?"

"No. Nothing." Kali stated.

"Alright...let's do morning roll call. You're dismissed." Said Warden Ger.

And so today is new day at T Prison.

To be continued....
