im gonna send this to him soon...

i dont wanna be with someone who thinks thats its unfair being with me. whats funny is i feel like its unfair for you to ask me all this things when you havent even ask me to be your girlfriend.

you always say "my girl" but you dont even have the courage to own up to it. but now im realizing that maybe youre just telling me that to keep me around. whats stopping you to ask me to be official? is label so important to me? yes it is. i told you before i dont feel certain with you. youre full of uncertainty and i dont like when i dont know whats gonna happen.

you wanna talk about fairness? lets talk about fairness then.

January - you told me its a busy month for you, its an expensive month. blah blah. okay fine! whatever. did you hear stuff from me? no. i accepted that. i didnt say anything cuz i didnt think it was unfair. did i get what i want?? no. our montreal trip. you said youre gonna pay me. wheres the man of his words? i dont think you have the right to tell me ure a man of ur words. atleast i pay you when i say im gonna pay you. anyway doesnt matter now bc i enjoyed that trip with you. i get to spend time with you. did i think it was unfair that i paid for the whole trip? no. bc it was for your bday and as long as we had a fun time thats all that matters. i never once thought it was unfair for me.

February - you told me, "just let me go on my trip. after i come back." you implied youre gonna ask me when you come back. talk about bringing someone up then letting them down real quick. then you come back and thats the first thing on your to do list. suddenly, "youre not ready" suddenly, you need time to learn to be alone. that wasnt fine with me, i told you that. i told you im just gonna move on. you ask for time, you said you werent ready. did i tell you "you werent gonna be ready?" no. i gave you time. i respected your decision. did i think that was unfair for me? yes. but i tried to understand where youre coming from. did i get what i want? no.

also i think if you really like or l someone you wouldnt think of "fairness" that just told me a lot of things on how you see me or how you value this - whatever we have.

remember why im so nervous last saturday when you made plans for us? cuz part of me hoped that youll finally gonna ask me but part of me doesnt wanna be disappointed. guess what happened? news flash! another disappointment. but surprisingly this one didnt bother me that much compared to the other times so i guess im doing great on that department.

i dont go out partying with you, suddenly i get all what i want. also you gave me a short notice, how can i prepare myself for that. i dont like spontaneous plans. if you cudve just given me a weeks notice then i wud say yes.

i dont wanna sleepover, suddenly im the bad person. i dont wanna go home late, suddenly you see it as i dont wanna spend time with you. you always just walk me to the door, you rarely walk me to the subway, and it only happens when were already out or when you have somewhere to go after. do i think that was unfair? do i consider that as you dont wanna spend time with me? no i didnt.

i cant drink that much, suddenly it bothers you. i dont like drinking but i try it for you. every drink is hard for me but i still try but suddenly you see it as i dont try enough that i dont practice.

i was late a couple of times, i didnt know it was such a big deal that youll bring it up until now. you were late sometimes too but its okay for me, as long as you show up. did i think it was unfair? no.

you say i always win, wheres the winning? why dont i feel like im winning.

People are so fucking outrageous you take some time for yourself that you told us you were taking and now they're up in your asks demanding stuff tell them to pay you for it, sincerely someone who doesn't mind waiting for whatever you post

on god i literally spent the last few days driving hours on end and just got back yesterday, today is my first full day back home. and i've been traveling out of town for the outreach clinic i have to work at the next few weeks, and even then i've still been writing allskdjf

lmfao i don't want to shit on that anon too much, and i'm def not trying to be rude or anything, but i'm also going to hijack your ask real quick to address stuff since i do have quite a few new followers.

while some users might not mind questions regarding when someone is updating/if they have anything planned for an ongoing series, and things like that, i specifically have it in my rules to please not do that, which is why i got a little short with them even though they arguably weren't being rude or malicious (unlike a few anons in the past have when asking things like that). this one is especially annoying because it's been literally eight days since i last updated for that, and i have other series i've been working on! like even though i'm not posting for it, i've still written a couple thousand words for pet!au, and i just finished a chapter for in limbo i'll have up for early access here in a bit, and then on tumblr probably tomorrow or wednesday.

but mostly, the reason why i specifically request that people don't ask if i have plans/when i'm updating/if i'm updating something is because i literally have an irl life. i've been pretty open recently about how i've been traveling and the work i've been doing, it's not a secret or anything lmao. it just feels... tone deaf, you know? like you come into my inbox not talking about the work, or what you like about it, or otherwise engaging with it, but just to ask if i'm giving you more, like i didn't just do that a week ago. hell, even if it's been months or years that's still rude imo because if you like something enough, then you'd probably be doing more than just asking for more, ya know? at least that's how it comes across to me. and like i said before, some people really don't care, which is why i made sure to specify it in my rules, because i do care. it ruins my mood to write and create because then it feels like a chore and people are waiting on me just to consume it and then beg for more rather than tell me what they actually enjoyed about the work lmao.

anyway, no hard feelings against that anon at all, i'm sure they didn't mean anything by it, so please don't show them any hate or anything. but just use this as a reminder to read the rules of the blogs you interact with please. or at least don't be surprised when you do something that irks them and then they're annoyed at you because of it lmao.

sorry about the rant in the tags

After defeating the Rak'tika Lightwarden, Warrior of Light (& Darkness) finds time to teleport back to the source, yearning to see her lover again. Tansui is more than happy to see her again, and their need for each other is undeniable. However, after they come together, something weighs on Tansui's mind. Fandom: Final Fantasy XIV | Words: 2257 (this part)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Read on Ao3

Meryta Khatin x Tansui | set after defeat of Rak'tika Lightwarden | smut Rating: Explict. Sexual content, slightly rough sex, reunion sex, feelings, longing

The Lovers: chapter 1

The trip to Onokoro seems longer, this time, and for a moment Meryta wonders if she can leave the lifestream at all. It’s like the extra aether inside of her wants to keep her there, tugging at her soul. She almost wants to let it, but eventually she finds herself at the Onokoro aetheryte, dizzy and strung out. She has never had any issues with travel through the aether streams, but now she feels overloaded, like a cup about to run over its brim, or a volcano about to erupt. She breathes in the crisp air, big gulping breaths.

Around her, everything is much as it usually is.

Someone is fixing a fishing net, someone is pulling a boat into the sand, there’s a group of people cleaning their weapons, and another walking by lost in conversation.

This time, she looks for Tansui right away, her heart in need of seeing him as soon as possible. He’s probably with the Captain, she’s told, so she makes it up the stairs and to main platform.

Rasho is in his usual spot, sitting at the table. He’s got papers spread out in front of him – ledgers it looks like, and Tansui’s is nowhere in sight. Rasho looks up when she approaches, putting his quill down and steepling his hands.

“Meryta.” he greets. “Looking for Tansui?”

She’s nods, no need or time to hide behind a made-up errand.

“He’s –“ Rasho pauses, and assesses her with a look.

“I hope everything is well. With the papers and the tithe.” She gestures to his table, hoping he will get on with it. She likes Rasho well enough, but she’s not here to see him.

“It is.”

She fidgets impatiently.

“Tansui is out past Quickscape, on watch duty at the pines. You should find him easily enough. Meryta, are you –“ Rasho sighs. “Never mind. Go find him.”

Rasho waves her off, and she’s already turned to leave, whistling for her yol. She is too anxious and unsettled to prod him about what he means. If it’s important he will tell her later.

She finds Tansui where Rasho said, in a clearing a little ways from the pier. He has his back turned, dutifully keeping watch. She takes a moment to appreciate his shoulders, the braid of dark and purple hair falling behind him. All at once, she is overcome with gratefulness that he’s here and not out on the water or among a throng of people.

“Tansui,” she says. Her heart is suddenly pounding in her chest, the travel still making her dizzy.

He turns and he smiles when he sees her, and he rushes to her, and she to him, and she’s in his arms, and they’re kissing. Hard and then soft, his chapped lips gentle against her own.

“Meryta. Are you well?” He keeps holding her.

“Yes. No. I am not.” The light churns in her, and now she knows it’s not her imagination, but she doesn’t want to think of that, not right now. “But it doesn’t matter. I’m here, now.”

“Glad I am of that,” he says and smiles and kisses her again, slow and warm.

She is almost embarrassed in how she has yearned for him, how good it feels to dig her hands into his arms, to know that he is safe. She forgets any reluctance as Tansui’s kisses grow bolder, fierce along her jaw, his hands tugging at her collar. He appears to be just as delighted to see her as she is to see him. To touch him. She wants to stay in this moment, and not in her staggering unease, as she slides her hands beneath his haori, uncaring of her gloves snagging on the fabric. She moans as his teeth scrape against the scales on her throat and she wants, she –

There’s a loud snap of a branch breaking behind her, someone – or something – is coming up the path. They fly apart and she turns towards the noise, regretting that her bow is unstrung. Tansui is already reaching for his staff, resting against a tree.

A huyr man enters the clearing, and Tansui’s body language relaxes immediately.

“Uoni!”

“Um excuse me, sir, uh –”

“Don’t sir, me, this is not the military. You can call me Tansui or lieutenant if you must.”

“Ah yes, sorry. Lieutenant. It was my understanding the post, um, may be empty, and I was asked to, relieve you. Sir.” His eyes dart between them, and to the ground, and Meryta fights the urge to tug at her collar.

Tansui barks out a laugh. “Rasho, I take it. Thank you, Uoni.”

He nods at the man, and takes her hand, pulling her down the path under the trees. Something warm settles in her chest, her hand in his larger one. She gives his a squeeze, and it’s enough to make him stop and pull her close and kiss her.

“It is very good to see you alive and well, Meryta.”

“You too,” and then they’re kissing again, and she’s pushed against a tree and she is wearing too many clothes, too much armor, but she didn’t think of that when she left, only that it was now, before they return to Crystarium and what news there, while Y’shtola packs was she needs from Slitherbough, the Night Blessed celebrating the night sky.

“We should probably – ” Tansui says while kissing her jaw, “ – go somewhere private. In case someone else wanders up the path.”

She nods, and kisses him again. They stumble down the path, eventually, and back towards the settlement and the privacy of Tansui’s rooms. She has no more words to utter, her desire to touch him, to feel him, real and true, far too great. He’s not a far-off lover in her letters, but here, solid under her touch, soft lips against her scales.

They reach Tansui’s apartment soon enough, between their urgent kisses, the need for privacy winning out. He pushes her against the door with another kiss, fumbling at the door handle until it swings open. They fall inside, unable to let go of each other. Their clothes hit the floor, scattering with little thought – armor bits, inner padding, her gloves. Finally, her hands are bare, able to feel his body under her fingertips, him as naked as her.

Tansui stumbles backwards to his bed, and he pulls her with him. She lands awkwardly on top of him, until she warps her legs around him. His arousal is hard and insistent against her belly, her own need mirroring his as she moans and grinds against him. Finally, he is almost close enough, their walk seemed far too long for her patience. Her whole journey here too far, too much, to see him again.

He bends his head and kisses her shoulder, sucking hard and scraping his teeth over her scales. It feels good, the intensity makes her shudder. She needs this. She buries one hand in his hair, thick and soft and perfect. His lips move lower, kissing her chest, as she throws her head back. One hand caresses her breast, then rolls her nipple between his fingers. He pinches and she yelps and her whole body bucks, seeking friction, seeking him. She gasps his name and clutches his shoulders. Her whole body is warm, hot, and she wants him everywhere, wants his hands on every part of her skin. She holds on to him through his caresses, kisses, teasing, and his rough pinching. She wants all of it.

“More,” she gasps. Her tail wraps around his calf, seeking his skin against her scales, needing to touch every part of him.

He bends his head and sucks her other nipple into her mouth until she moans. His cock is hard against her, and she reaches between them to grab it, sliding her hand along its velvet hardness, drawing grunts from Tansui in return.

He pinches her nipple again with his hand, and his tongue lavish her other nipple, the contrast making her dizzy with lust. His lips slide sideways, kissing and now biting the side of her breast. Gentle and rough - she wants it all, she has waited far too long and now she can’t anymore, hazy with lust.

“I want – Tansui.” He bucks his hips into her hand, and sucks a mark onto her chest, under her collarbone. One of his hands is on her hip, holding her in a bruising grip. She sinks her nails into his shoulders. “I can’t wait. I need you.”

Too many lonely days a world away, too much time thinking of him, missing him. Too many worries if she’d survive long enough to see him again, too much fear of succumbing to the light poisoning her aether. Where she before was a little abashed by her yearning, now she does not care. She needs him, she needs him to fill her every thought, her body craving everything he will give her. Her need, their bodies need for each other so simple, all consuming. She’s frantic in her want, driving every thought but him from her mind.  

“Meryta,” he says, her name against her skin. “Yes.”

She leans close, and raises herself to her knees. She kisses him. His hand sneak between her legs, two fingers inside of her and flicking up to her clit. Her tail curl up and behind him, he gasps as she pulls him a little closer. She’s wet and swollen and she moans and it’s not his fingers she wants, so she bats his hands away and seats herself on his cock in one swift motion.

He fills her body like he fills her thoughts, singular and everywhere, allowing her to push everything away. There is only now. His hardness inside of her. The motion of her hips in his lap, small sounds escaping her when she moves down. Tansui’s mouth is back on her throat, her neck, kissing and sucking as they fuck. He grunts along with her mewls and gasps, both of them too lost to find words, the only accompaniment to the sound of their bodies meeting as she brings herself down on him again and again. Letting him fill her completely, fully, perfectly. She clenches around him as his hands roam her body, up to her breasts, letting them fill his hands, before they wander to her hips again.

Tansui must be as impatient, as needy, lost, as her, as he uses her hands to move her faster, harder, bouncing her on his cock. She kisses him, or he kisses her, their mouths messily meeting lips and tongue and teeth. He feels so good close to her, inside of her, any other thought pushed out of her head, the only thing left the pleasure building in her. She’s so close, wanting. She bites Tansui’s lips and slides a hand down to where they’re joined, finding her own slippery folds, as he retaliates, nipping her jaw, sucking it, his beard rough against her.

She moans, whimpers, and slides her fingers against her clit, applying pressure where she desperately needs it.  Tansui looks down at her, his eyes deep dark following the movement of her hand. He encourages her to lean back while still holding her hips, and captures a nipple in his mouth, sucking, then the side of her breast as he moves her, his hips jerking up into her.

She presses harder against herself and tilts over the edge, clenching and moaning as her climax crashes over her, only Tansui’s strong arms holding her upright as she rides out the pleasure. He follows her, eyes closed and his whole body shaking.

They both come down, clinging to each other, their foreheads resting together. He kisses her.

“Meryta.” Her name, hoarse and quiet against her lips.

“Tansui.”

“Thank you for the letters,” he says, drawing his arms around her. Solid and strong, she feels whole and unbreakable for a moment.

“And thank you for yours,” she says. “I hope they were not too difficult to send.”

“Nay. Just fucking expensive.”

She lets out a huff of laughter.

“I’m sorry. Do I need to compensate you?”

It’s his turn to laugh, his chest rumbling against her, his breath in her hair.

“No need. That they found you is enough. And the waters have been quite bountiful lately, no thanks to your Eorzean friends and the Domans.”

“Have they, now? You should tell me more – I hope you are not making Hancock too frustrated. Just frustrated enough.”

“That we do.”

She laughs again and untangles herself a little, but unwilling to let go of his heat, she presses forward until he lets them both fall backwards on the bed. They lay entangled, talking of nothing of import, about the people and events mentioned in their letters, the small things. She avoids talking about her fights, or the Light, too comfortable and weary. Her hands wander idly across his body, describing the impossible purple leaves of Lakeland, the beauty of the flowers in Il Megh, the tall platforms of the Viis. When she falls silent, she listens to Tansui and the mundane news he has, his voice a pleasant to her ears.

At some point she must have fallen asleep briefly, and when she wakes, she’s covered with a blanket, and Tansui is cooking. She doesn’t feel hungry, but he insists, and she finds herself seated at his table, rice and meat and some bitter greens and comfort. It feels like home, if nothing else then because she’s yet to find food like this on the First.
