I don't have much to ramble about but having 4 reincarnation aus on the go is so real, trimax -> tristamp reincarnation au drives me insane on the daily. begging to hear about the other reincarnation aus pretty pls

(also your art is so charming and lovely!! I love your comics hehe)

UOHOHOHO I SEE WE THINK ALIKE ANON 🤝 reincarnation AU ALWAYS drives me insane too!!! Trigun especially is giving me too much power for me not to waste em yknow?😩😩

(heads up: there's LOTS of rambles, and they're all VW-centric)

Timeloop/Reincarnation AU where Vash reverses the time every time he fails to save Wolfwood, despite having the guilt of knowing Wolfwood will have to go through everything again had Vash chosen to loop the timeline again...

Shouldn't he let him finally get his peace? Isn't it cruel to make him suffer yet again through this horrid nightmare?

(Have you ever imagined if his "I can see it in his eyes" or "all I see is a man forcing himself to play the devil while his heart cries out" is because Vash knows he's actually not like that? That the man he knows has been kind, kind to him. But will also fear what will happen to him if he pushes his belief upon Wolfwood... Would he rather see the Wolfwood he'd known from his past? Or would he let him kill; a cold murderer, befitting of his title as 'The Punisher' in favour of his survival? But could you still call him the same Wolfwood he's known from before? Should he even try to reverse the time again? Hadn't he suffered enough?)

Reincarnation AU trimax VW but focusing on reincarnated! Wolfwood instead, chasing after Vash at every cycle of his life so he can protect, and ultimately, save him from his misery.

(He fails, quite a lot of times. But Vash doesn't need to know how many times.)

Everything was all white. And before he knew it, it was dark. Wolfwood wakes up again in a different place than he used to live in. But more than that, a different body (It was confusing at first, but he's quick to connect the dots when he finds a familiar face he could not mistake for others, now in a wanted poster, spanning across the walls of the buildings: "Vash The Stampede" it says. Wolfwood remembers: it was the man who greets him every time he enters the shop; him donning an apron as he serves other customers and he in his working outfit, back from a job he can remember no longer...)

Star-crossed Lovers where Wolfwood eventually realised he only dies because he tries tp save Vash. He could've lived a long, normal life, even stop his loop! But he didn't. Wolfwood who'd rather live short lives and die countless times just to save him... and the closest he's been with him relationship-wise is where his death is mourned the most...

(whether he thinks it's shit or not, Wolfwood still doesn't know. But had he known it'd be the last time he sees him, he'd have at least pulled him into a kiss. Say sweetheart, how about a thank you kiss?)

Reincarnation AU (trimax->tristamp) but this time both of them have bits of recollections of the past they never told each other they know.

Vash being more deadset on stopping Nai and now EOM as his main objectives, passively avoiding visiting orphanages at all costs in his travels,

Wolfwood as a kid who knew what will become of him when he's selected by the EOM but still joins and persists through his experiments with the thought "This could help the spikey his memories seem so keen on remembering" or an "I could only meet him this way, protect him this way"

Imagine the panic that settles when the timeline doesn't line up with their previous life, "what do you mean I met the gang before the July incident, and who is this old man??" Wolfwood

Eriks going missing for 2 years as written, thinking he should really, really avoid Wolfwood for good before he gets dragged any deeper, maybe he should run away from everything this time?

And Wolfwood desperately searching for him for the whole 2 years, even though he knows he'll find him again, fearing how he gets closer to the time because "what if something is different this time and I can't meet him?" or "What if I'm not supposed to be by his side this time?"

The last one is the one I talked on prev post! Reincarnation AU (trimax->tristamp) but it's only Wolfwood who remembers, and it's mostly a "trying to move on but failing miserably because you can never say no to your (reincarnated) partner"

Wolfwood reminiscing how similar yet so different this life is... thinks how "the ticket to the future is blank, and it led me back to you"

Settle an argument for me: do you think Eddie and Ana ever had sex or do you think they never got that far?

ohhh anon i was thinking about this the other day so this is perfect haha.

so originally i assumed that they didn't have sex. i thought maybe they had probably made out or whatever but that's it. HOWEVER a few days ago i was watching that scene in 5x01 where eddie has his panic attack and when he goes to check on how chris is getting into his suit eddie says "you really like getting me all dressed up" or something like that and ana replies "yeah. and the other thing" and that's when eddie smiles and shushes her by putting his finger to his mouth (yeah that sexy looking moment you know it) SO to me that implies she has gotten him out of his clothes and leads me to believe they had sex. i mean i suppose it's possible they haven't but like what are they doing, getting naked and just looking at each other?? idk, but after watching that and hearing that which i had not at all remembered lol i now think they had sex.

The post you just reblogged about infantilizing autistic characters and specifically Steven Grant is actually one of my favorite things ever and I wished people talked about it more. I remember watching MK when it first came out and seeing Steven and being like omg he’s just like me!! because a lot of the times I don’t really connect with autistic characters for one reason or another but seeing Steven and seeing him have the same mannerisms and characteristics as me was so so wonderful and the fandom was great at first and it seems like the more time passes and the farther we get from when the show stopped having new episodes, he gets characterized so differently than how he was in the show. Like yeah he was awkward and unsure around Layla but also look at the circumstances!! Everyone’s turned him into an uwu baby child and forget that he got angry and he was smart and he was brave and he was an adult man and not a child regardless of him being autistic. Idk, I just really liked that post and I was so glad to see someone on the same page as me and I wanted to share my thoughts lmao

dearest anon you are more than welcome to come in my inbox and talk abt Steven, autism, and how irritating fandom ableism is, because I'm always ready to talk about any of it. I'm glad that you felt seen by my frustration! a lot of times I'll mention it or even post about it and it's like yelling into the void

I think the wonderful thing about Steven is that he feels so authentically autistic, him and Marc both (and im assuming Jake as well, but it's just too soon to tell in which ways he will experience/be visibly autistic) and I think that's both the uprising and the downfall of it because in not using the word "autistic" in the show it paves the way both for genuine connection AND the surface level ableist "aw steven" mentality we see a lot now

i was watching the first two episodes the other day, mostly because I'm rewatching for Steven- an aside, but fandom had honestly put me off Steven. ofc I loved him so much but I couldn't truly connect because the (imho) accurate Steven that I liked to think about and analyze is NOT the Steven we see in 98% of fanfiction or tumblr posts. but anyway I was watching the first two episodes and I gotta say, for as much nervous stuttering as he does in fanfiction, he really- listen I think he does a reasonable amount of nervous stuttering when he is IN truly stressful situations that have him completely off kilter.

you can't really script your way out of a conversation with a creepy guy trying to tell you abt his lord and savior ammit the croc

anyway. all this to say, I completely understand where you're coming from and I'm really glad you felt seen in my own frustration. it's always validating to see someone else verbalizing a deep rooted but glossed over issue that bothers you

just!! reiterating your point!! he's knowledgeable!!! he's angry!!! he's incredibly brave!!!! he's not afraid to stand up to Marc or khonshu or harrow or anybody!!!! he's an adult man with a job and a place to live!!! that doesn't make him any better or worse than someone who may not have a job BUT people just love to turn autistic ppl into helpless little uwu babies and its SO obnoxious and irritating and insulting. he IS capable!! Steven is SASSY he is a BITCH he fantasizes about killing his boss!!!!! he bargined the world for marc (and his) freedom!!!! hello?????

steven would not like the majority of the people who claim to like him..

at any rate lmao. my inbox is always open!! happy to talk 🫶

I read ur tags on the video abt drake and Kendrick “not caring about women” in the middle of the rap beef and I totally agree about Kendrick btw. It reminded me of someone i saw on Tik tok who made a video defending Kendrick from the “but he didn’t want r Kelly’s music removed from streaming platforms!” thing and what it turns out it ACTUALLY was about was that Spotify was going to put up a “moral and behavior” policy where they would remove the complete discography of any artist who they found out had a criminal record, which is incredibly discriminatory against all convicted people, no matter what they’re convicted for, and infringes on their 1st amendment rights and just the very human right to make art and have that art be preserved. So it was less about “I love r kelly so much im gonna threaten to take all my music off Spotify if they remove his” and more “this policy is actually infringing on artists’ rights and discriminatory against people with a criminal record.” I’m not saying Kendrick is our feminist messiah but like cmon yall he does not hate women and he’s not just calling out drake for clout

A lot of what Kendrick gets reduced to certain narratives because their are a lot of negative things that come with hip hop, and it does do more harm than good especially in the case with “fake woke” rappers.

I don’t believe in putting celebrities on a pedestal and no person is perfect. Him putting Kodak Black on Mr. Morale did rub me the wrong way. Him dead naming some of his family members rightfully upset some people.

I can’t speak for that, so I won’t because it’s not my place, so I just listen and support those that can.

But all I can really say is, the process of growing and wanting to be better person isn’t pretty. Watching someone unlearn racism fatphobia, transphobia, and etc is never without mistakes.

If we are really advocating for people to be better on all fronts, the response is always anger when we they don’t get it right the first time or show they don’t have a full understanding of it.

What do we really want fork people? We tell them to grow and do better? But if you’ve actually walked someone through that or seen it, why are we getting so mad when they make a mistake along the way.

No it’s not our place to teach them. But if they are making a genuine effort, why not make a quick comment and move on. How does him doing these two things and “fumbling” the narrative for black growth as a man in America by including Kodak black and trying to show him stepping away from transphobia in a more problematic than not way, absolve everything he’s ever done or thinks and do thereafter?

I am not saying these thingsto be derivative. I am asking from a genuine place.

That said, it doesn’t make those things right.

I think he said some quiet parts out loud that he shouldn’t have, but at the end of the day he has to be held accountable. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I don’t think Kendrick has ever said anything in song he doesn’t fully believe. He’s very intentional, that might be the place where people are angry with him because it’s clear these things were done on purpose.

I can’t speak for him as I am just a fan. I may be biased as well, so that may be effecting how I think about this, so I try to be mindful and address that as well.

I try to be responsible and try not to deflect other peoples thoughts, feelings, and opinions on some of these things because they hurt some people and affect more people more than they ever would me and it wouldn’t be right.

But, we don’t know him and we never do, so all we can do is speculate, and some more than others like to choose the worst over any benefit of the doubt because in a man driven world when have they never not have that.

I don’t want to be an enabler to that system.

I'm curious if his s/o confront or debate about Sephiroth's vengeance, they're will spit the fact about such as," You think this is best solution for destroying world because of your mother? Even your mother doing nothing to you, does she should protect you like every mother does instead demand you to destroy it?" I bet Sephiroth also question about it.

For sure! His S/O being present will intensify his identity crisis. But to successfully lead Sephiroth from the path of evil would depend on a variety of factors, imo. How long have they been in a relationship for? Is this confrontation happening at Mt. Nibel or the Shinra Manor? If they can say the right things (Really empathizing how important it is to be tactful here) and have already been in a relationship with Sephiroth long enough, it will be enough to make a difference. The location is important too, imo. The Shinra Manor is the time and place to let out those emotions, and the hard truths must be said. Beyond that, I just think there would be no stopping him.

Personally, I think it would be a bit easier for a SOLDIER S/O to get through to him as they can empathize with him, being a victim of Shinra’s greed and lies themselves. It will still be difficult, however. If they can successfully empathize with him, then they could definitely temper his rage by encouraging him to discover more information with them together and maybe convince him down the line that destroying the planet isn't something a true mother would want him to do.

I’m stealing this part from my Superman/Sephiroth analogy mini-essay (Which I may or may not post) It’s also important to think about the most important bonds he had in canon. Gast, Angeal, Genesis and later Zack (in his broken mind) abandoned him. He only had Jenova, whom he projected his idealization of motherhood onto. He also empathized with her. Humans took the planet from her and locked her up like some beast. These are the same humans who also used and abused Sephiroth. He calls Zack a traitor during his boss’ fight because he genuinely felt camaraderie with him, but now Zack is fighting for the very humans that hurt Sephiroth and his mother. Sephiroth now feels the need to protect himself and his mother. He also wants vengeance by lashing out at everything, which why he is hurting innocent people. Back to this scenario, it would become more than just Sephiroth’s vengeance. It will be his s/o vs Jenova. Using pure logic that his mother should have protected him like any other won't be effective. You must speak to him on an emotional level to make your argument.

Having Zack present at the manor would be a point in the S/O’s favor, since that’s two supports against one. I, like others, firmly believe that Zack failed to reach Sephiroth because he just wasn’t close enough to him. It also doesn’t help that Sephiroth may resent Zack for what happened to Angeal (from Dissidia Opera Omnia. If I can find the post, I’ll link it). For this situation: with his S/O's comforting presence, his resentment towards Zack will be tempered.

Thank you for this ask!

[beacon-lamp]

now that dsmp season 1 has ended, are you gonna keep watching season 2?

ah i'm pretty sure the other members have more plot/lore/episodes planned before the end of volume 1, it's only wilbur's character's finale that's done. so there's still a bit of content planned for volume 1.

and to be honest, i probably won't keep up with volume 2. at least not in the way that i did for volume 1. regardless of criticisms people have about wilbur's finale, i think the fact that it Exists and was Released gave me the final bit of closure i needed to put the dsmp's content officially behind me. my life looks completely different now than it did two years ago, so i simply don't have the time or intense interest anymore. and i genuinely find it more fun to engage with the fan community we've built and the people i've met along the way than to spend hours and hours watching streams. im just here vibing in the garden i helped grow.

hope that's not too disappointing. tho i'm pretty sure no one here is following me for my dsmp content anyways loll

[lazlolemur]

i love your ocs so bad they are everythingggg

please tell me all about them :3 how did they meet?

Thank you so much it always makes me so happy to see people like my creation! Especially since these are some of my favorite guys 🥺

Navi is from a southern town called bright dawn! There was a patch of forest inhabited by the fae called the wild lands. He used to be a human before becoming a fae.

He was a man that meant well and did his best to be kind but would sometimes get in trouble with various people due to his oblivious and stubborn personality.

He was a wanted man for a crime he didn’t commit. He found this out when coming back from the tavern to seeing his mother burning alive while the soldier started walking towards him. The soldier was picked off eventually by the fae but This led him to hide away in constant fear. He hung out with the townsfolk and most enjoyed his company (he really loved to help any of them if he could)

Rizene is a fae that used to keep away from mortals due to preferring to study his magic with his mentor as well as being fairly shy. A smart and gentle man who cares incredibly deeply but worries. Oh my god he worries so much

Their dynamic is very much guy that gets into trouble without meaning to and guy tending to his wounds

They actually met fairly young! Around 19-20 or so! (Navi current day is 45 and rizene 46!) they mutually pined for 25 damn years

Rizene saw a fey trying to attack Navi despite seeing how cruel mortals can be to fey, despite everything he saved him. Rizene was weak too due to not giving into any fae callings he had because he didn’t want to lose his memories. He got sick easily and getting into a possible fight was an awful idea but he didn’t want that mortal to get hurt.

Navi was indebted to him and asked what he wanted. Rizene said he wanted nothing more than for him to be okay. He was curious about him for reasons he couldn’t understand. Something about the warmness of his smile but the sad eyes that looked at him rizene found him so beautiful.

They spent time together frequently. Most people assumed they were a couple with the way they constantly gazed at eachother with loving and adoring eyes. The lines were constantly blurred. They’ve held onto eachother during tough moments in both of their lives.

Rizene loved showing Navi his plant magic. Truthfully he was pretty weak because he didn’t want to harm people to get stronger. But Navi was so amazed by even a simple trick of rizene making a closed flower unfold. Navi thought it was incredible everything he did.

The lines between friends and romance kept blurring over and over. Staring at the stars together as Navi held rizenes face. It kept getting so close to them kissing, one time Navi was right on top of him while they were in a field and was holding his face so softly but Navi always kept pulling away subconsciously. He wanted rizene so severely. He dreamt of him daily and nightly. What his lips would feel like against his, the way rizene was so kind and yet rizene had no shame in expressing his desire. It tended to fall on deaf ears due to Navi having 8 Wis. LOL.

But anyone around them could tell. Various pixies would snicker while Navi laid on top of rizene. At night he allowed his mind to wander. Navi thought he was just misinterpreting what Rizene was suggesting. They’re just very good friends right? . Right ? Wanting scared him. He had like Catholic levels of guilt . He wasn’t even religious he just had problems

A big turning point in the relationship for both is when rizene started to get more sick due to not giving in to his fae nature(he was still too attached to his mortal life) and navi gave him his name. To have rizene live- or at least not be as sick anymore. He could see rizene getting sicker each day and he hated not being able to do anything about it.

It was the only time rizene has been truly upset at him. He was confused. Navi understood the gravity of giving his name away but he gave it away instantly for him. Anything to help him after rizene has helped Navi for so long. Navi sacrificed part of his humanity for Rizene . They now share eachothers heart.

Navi got teleported to Barovia for the start of the campaign. Im not going too heavily into the campaign because I played him for 2 and a half years and quite frankly there’s too much to even get into. But the most important thing is he got magically teleported and lost all contact to rizene for months and experienced horrors.

The link between hearts was shattered. Rizenes heart strings were being literally and metaphorically pulled. He didn’t want to believe Navi had abandoned him without a single word after 25 years spent together.

Rizene started to get sick with worry. Unable to eat or drink he started to go under a depression magical slumber. Barely able to stay alive. Thick overgrown vines started to surround his home and in turn him. He started to look more monstrous and hollow. Like someone was taking his soul from him. A flower wilting.

Navi was eventually able to contact him after months but rizene was already so far gone it was hard for him to even speak. He decided he had to go back for him and help him and the party decided to help as well. Navi missed the sound of rizenes voice so much it was like hearing an angel call. While at sea with the party he longed to return to land and hold rizene and tell him everything he was too foolish to tell him when he was young. He didn’t want it to be too late.

Navi had a choice to go learn about his family secrets being kept from him(VERY shortened but it isn’t about them right now). And help save the world that he knew was ending. Or to live the life he’s always dreamed of having but never allowed himself to and save his lover from deaths grasp.

Save him after rizene has saved him so many times.

The final straw was when the party had to sleep surrounded by a pile of fey corpses when headed to save rizene. Being surrounded by the scent of death while returning home after he was both physically (he believed himself to be fully human but one night his back erupted and he grew tentacles protruding out of him, he hid them often and was ashamed of them in some ways.) and mentally changed (so much happened.) was breaking him. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Rizene would die if he left him again. He just got him back. He never even wanted to leave him. Especially not after he’s confessed to him so openly. Offering the chance to become a fae but he would leave this life behind and eventually lose all memories of this life save for rizene. Navi decided to choose love over the world.

Navi grew the horns when becoming a fae and he started wearing his monstrous features with immense pride! Infinitely happier in this body, in this life. Rebirth that he welcomed with open arms. No longer fearing the tentacles protruding from him like an extra set of arms as well as them taking on a vine form. Hell if anything he loves them! He can give rizene even better hugs :)

He’s a million times kinder to himself and more open about the things that still harm him, he’s still stubborn and a little oblivious but it’s incredibly apparent how much he’s changed from the scared man he once was.

He chose to stay with his lover at the end of the world. He is more focused on hedonism and loving this new life, giving this new life his everything that he didn’t give to the old one.

Tired of hating himself. Tired of self sabatoge. He couldn’t hate himself forever he had to learn how to love himself and god he does now. He adores himself. He’s become very bold and loud, the type of guy to have a hearty laugh that shakes the room. He’s generally good company but he never seems to talk about his past. Too focused on the feelin good in the present! The fae around him don’t mind they just assume he lost his memories early. Truthfully he may as well have.

He’s a incredibly skilled bard and painter! He makes renaissance esque paintings in his down time. He is obsessed with the act of creation, loving something he makes so much. It’s a rare sight to not see him partying or creating! He’s painted rizene an unbelievable amount of times he’s his favorite subject. He doesn’t need money but he’ll give people paintings if he enjoys their company! Doesn’t even care about getting a gift in turn. Dude is THRIVING in the faewilds

Rizene is delighted seeing his husband have so much visible love for himself, seeing him smile so frequently warms his heart, to be alive and hold him so close. Hear his heartbeat and know Navi is happy he’s alive. See how far they’ve both come. He gets to live happily with his husband.

Their wedding (they had two. A more private one and a more open one I’m talking about the open one in this case) was a show. Absolutely beautiful and fairytale esque sight of a million flowers growing and firefly pixies lighting it up and hey other fae aren’t gonna resist an event for havin fun!! Danced the night away and they never resist a chance to say “my husband” when talking about the other.

Rizene has grown into himself as well! He accepts he’s not the mortal he once was and he’ll never be that version of himself ever again. He hunts and is able to turn into a monstrous version of himself! Navi likes it to put it lightly LOL. I keep trying to make updated art for it and can never get it right!! Art below by dinosaur draws. One of my favorite images of his design 💜! ……he’s very big in this form. I have a crush on him okay

Fun fact: besides darlin their favorite pet name for the other is my prince. Since Navi saved rizene from a slumber and Rizene “whisking him away from his life of woe” so to speak. they kinda see eachother as the others Prince Charming! They’re madly in love with eachother and sickeningly sweet all of the time. They become dads at some point in time but that is a story for another time….

I’m not very good at describing characters as much as I’d like to be due to my mind kind of thinking in excited zig zags but I hope this is at least somewhat understandable!! But for a more concise thing if you’re curious ! Beautiful fics both Written by @babaistrans !they characterized them perfectly and is beautifully written too :D (they’re from before he became a fae but they still kinda have the same mannerisms!)

Please tell us more about the Infinity Train KHUX AU, I'm VERY curious.

I would be very glad to do this dear anon!!!

First off, for those who don't know what Infinity Train is: Infinity Train is a cartoon anthology series based around solving your problems and growing as a person. The gist of it is if you have any problem that would usually be solved via therapy or something the train just shows up and abducts you basically.

You wake up with a number on your hand that will go up or down depending on your personal growth, and the size of the number is dependent on the severity of your problems. The goal is to get your number down to zero so that you can go back home. while on the train you venture through various train cars filled with random worlds that shouldn't be able to exist in reality.

You, as someone who got on the train and as someone who has a number, are a passenger. The creatures that live on the train are called denizens. Denizens can join you on your journey of self-growth and help you out.

Infinity Train is a great series that deserves a 5th season and if you are interested in watching it you can find the whole thing on HBO Max, or you can pirate it or something. idk. Just be warned it WILL emotionally destroy you, be prepared.

Now onto the actual au

I'm still figuring out the details of how the au will go/the fine details of it, so this is all subject to change lol.

In the au currently Skuld and Ephemer both find themselves stuck in the Infinity Train and decide to team up with each other to try and get off. They are joined by a little stuffed cat denizen named Chirithy! In this au they didn't know each other beforehand, maybe. Still figuring that part out.

Ephemer is really the only character who I've got a solid reasoning for why they're on the train. See, Ephemer's childhood best friend, Player, died recently, and he has not been coping very well. Because of all his built up grief and him blaming himself for not being there for Player, the train shows up for him and he gets on it out of a want to get away from all his grief.

He wakes up in a Car where everything is super large, like he's been shrunk. Think the wonderland world from khux. After panicking he runs into Chirithy, who is NOT supposed to be there. Chirithy isn't quite show how it got there, and after explaining the whole situation to Ephemer asks for his help in getting back to its home. Ephemer, still confused, agrees and they find the exit to the car.

The two meet Skuld in the next car over, which ends up being some creepy abandoned lab type car. (like I said, the cars can be literally anything). Ephemer is wandering around the car looking for an exit when he is all of a sudden attacked by a ghom. A ghom is something in Infinity Train that are a bit like heartless? They're these weird black cockroach-dogs that suck your life force and kill you.

Chirithy panics because "Ghoms aren't supposed to be on the train! They're only supposed to roam the outside wasteland!" and doesn't know what to do, being a foot tall stuffed cat against a dog sized rabid creature. Ephemer is struggling to fight it off when Boom! Skuld comes in with a lead pipe she had pried off the walls! Before Ephemer can process what just happened, Skuld grabs him by the hand and sprints to the exit door, with Chirithy in tow. The three manage to get out relatively unharmed.

Skuld explains that she had woken up in that car and heard Ephemer struggling with the ghom, so without thinking she just attacked the thing. Chirithy explains the whole train deal to Skuld and, despite hesitance from Skuld, they decide to team up and get off the train together.

Now, Skuld's reason for being on the train is still a bit iffy, but I want it to have something to do with her isolating herself from everyone else after someone close to her abused her trust. She's built walls so high that nothing could penetrate them, but unluckily for her Ephemer is willing to climb.

The roles of the other dandelions are still unclear to me, I'll probably decided at some later point so we'll stick a pin in that for later. I'm thinking about having the au being an anthology, just like the actually show. Season one focuses on Ephemer and Skuld, and season two focuses on Lauriam, Ven, Elrena, etc.

Brain is the only one I have an idea for. Brain in this au is pretty morally gray, think his early update personality. Nobody knows why he got on the train, nor how his number got so high (Skuld thinks he murdered a couple people). He shows up now and again with the explanation that he's trying to get to the engine to meet the conductor, though that's where it ends. He's been on the train for years at this point and he's convinced that getting off the train would be a lost cause. He's an anti-hero who likes to mess with the protags.

And that's all for now! feel free to ask me anything else about the au lol. I ramble a lot

[shyravenns]

Hi! I’m not sure if you’re still taking the kissing prompts, so feel free to ignore this! If you are though, maybe Ghost/Gaz with 2 or 36?

Have a lovely day!🤍

My prompts are always open <3 I love having a little backlog of stuff I can go back and look on for Inso haha

36) reunion kiss with hospital angst

There's shakiness in the tips of his fingers that makes it hard to think properly. It's the low ball of anxiety curled up in the pit of his stomach that feels as if it's been there for the past week or so-uncomfortable and maddening.

The stench of the hospital is at times overwhelming. He wakes up in that small little chair he's crammed himself in, and smells nothing but the scent of cleaning chemicals so sharp that it feels as if needles are digging their way through his nostrils.

It's late.

The curtains are closed, and the only sounds he can hear beyond the faint beepings of the machines are the footsteps of the nurses walking in front of the door.

Simon sits up, and tries to ignore the achiness in his legs and back from having sat still for so long. It's still there, he thinks. The anxiety that seems to have settled into his skin. Ever present, and annoying even after the few hours of sleep he managed to get.

He sits back and turns his aching neck to look at the man lying prone on the hospital bed.

He's the only one who stayed. Price, Soap, and the others having left hours prior.

(Price being the one who had to be convinced to leave. Brushing past Simon with a heavy hand on his shoulder before slipping way. An unspoken apology that Simon pretended not to hear.)

He's never seen Kyle so *still*. He's not Soap. He's not a walking, talking human equivalent of a car battery, but he's still so full of life and warmth that it makes Simon almost revel in his presence.

He looks so,,cold on that little hospital bed.

Cold in a way that makes Simon uncomfortably nervous. He fights the urge to touch him, to kiss him, to do *anything* lest he mess up the tangled mess of wires and machines that were meant to keep him alive.

He doesn't blame Price. He doesn't blame anyone, but himself because he should have *been* there. At his side, protecting his back, and making sure that *this* never should have happened.

Maybe Kyle wouldn't have come back (home) to him covered in blood and gore. Maybe Kyle would have greeted him with a smile so serene and beautiful it would have made Simon stumble. Maybe he wouldn't be *here* in a cold hospital bed with only the smell of cleaning supplies and an old Mac n cheese container to keep him company.

Maybe he would have gotten that kiss that Kyle had promised him.

There's a sharp intake of breathe that makes his heart jump in his chest, and for a moment (for a small scary moment) he thinks that this is it. He looks up, and sees those bleary brown eyes looking up at the ceiling before looking at him.

it's happened once or twice. Kyle waking up for a moment at a time, a sign that he was *okay*. That he would be okay in the long run.

What Simon doesn't expect is to hear the small, rough texture of his voice. So rough it makes him uncomfortable, but he can't help but feel the small whispers of hope that flutter in his chest at the sound of it.

"Hey, big guy." he hears Kyle's voice, and Simon is grateful that Price isn't here to see just how fast he stands up and moves to stand near Kyle's side.

He doesn't say anything. Not trusting his voice to say what he wants.

(he doesn't know if he *can* say anything even if he tried.)

Kyle's eyes are tired. Lips chapped, and Simon knows that he should be holding the little cup of water next to his bed for Kyle to drink out of, but Kyle smiles at him and he once again feels as if the world has stopped and his mind is nothing but play doh.

"Hey." he responds. His own rough, low voice making the edges of Kyle's smile just a tad bit lighter.

"You know," Kyle licks his lips and Simon tries so hard not to follow the movement of his tongue. "I think I deserve a kiss for this, yeah?"

And the tight ball of anxiety in the pit of his stomach begins to loosen at that.

"For what? For coming back to me a bloody fuckin' pulp?" The edges of Simon's mouth twitches just barely fighting back a smile.

Kyle grunts as he shifts, and Simon moves just a tad bit closer to him. "Bit of an accomplishment for people like us."

And Simon smiles at the weariness in Kyle's voice, and knows that they'll be okay.

(This time, the nasty voice in the back of his head whispers to him. He tells it to fuck off)

And when he presses his own chapped and scarred lips to Kyle's, the anxiety underneath his skin begins to melt away at the small moan that reverberates through Kyle's skin and prays that the nurses don't come running.

"Welcome home, sgt."

I have a lil request/suggestion: the walls have ears hard-on scene. I mean…. SOMETHING needs to be done about it 😭 so much potential!! Would you ever write solo elvis?

so anon, i'm gonna tell you to request this again so i have it in my inbox for either post gala/or during my gala.

because i felt the need to answer it. yes but in very specific situations i feel. this particular case i would say yes i could probably do it. do i think i could do a lot of it beyond that? probably not.

so would i? in this case, yes. but overall, once in a blue moon if that.

Goro what are some of the best and worst deals you’ve had?

ah, a faceless person. these are the ones goro enjoys the most. should he take off his, as well?? it seems only fitting.

❝ why don't you sit down? the devil is in the details — and i'm sure you want details.

i could start from the beginning, but we'd be here too long. oh, grab two glasses and that bottle over there before you sit. you pour, i pay.

i'm a modern man now, and in a modern sense, the best i've made have been with deng and ji-hun, for their services, but those were circumstances i don't normally come by in my line of work. they were unique cases to themselves, deng more so than ji-hun. ji-hun earned his place, and in doing so, was able to keep what was his [ his face ] in exchange for my gift to him [ his servitude / his strengths ] .

deng was far more eager and willing, while ji-hun has such a strange sense of self-preservation. i don't often keep men so close to me. when i do, they stay long-term, and long-term deals are what i'm after.

we've all had cheap thrills, and those are just that — cheap.

the deals that die out before they can even start. the unwilling. life is nothing without risk. without risk, what reason does a man deserve his reward?

the worst ones are the ones that think they can outwit me. in the end, sometimes they might be the worst but are the most fun. proving people wrong never gets old, but it can be tiring to always be right. it's like a coin; you have to take both sides as they are. one in the same.

now, if you're asking about ren — and let's be frank, who is asking about him? — he's an investment. he's a borderline player, but i'd call him more of a runner right now. he runs things for me that i can't be bothered with, does a few deliveries, and entertains for my parties. he's a good bartender, and i'll give him that. he's more of a plot point than anything else. it's fun, he does what i ask, we makes deals. we've never made the big one before, but i like what we have. the man is consistent ... ly in trouble.

but when that storyline finally moves, we'll see something worth waiting for. a man, a woman, a child. it's an unbroken circle. one of them will have to break it sooner or later.

in this case, it isn't much to do with what he is, but more ... who he is. who he belongs to for real. a deal was made for him before he was even born. he just doesn't know it yet. that makes it pretty good for me. bad for him, but good for me. not my best, but certainly not my worst. this is what i call a long con, but without the con. you really could say i'm more of an observer.

don't be mistaken. ren is just one of many. i have several generational deals that are in the works as we speak, and several main characters i have lined up to go against the big bad.

deals are not inherently good or bad. perhaps i expect certain results ... but i'm never disappointed. there is no way to fully account for the versions of reality that will come from a simple yes or no. like doors. when it's time, if it's necessary, i'll open them. i know the difference.

but you're looking for something more straightforward, correct??

i make the best deals with humans. i make the worst deals with oni. or, those that think we are alike. we are not. besides, humans are the ones i can bestow my gifts to more easily; they have the most untapped potential. deng and ji-hun were not born gifted. i have crafted them in my image while allowing them a certain degree of personality and autonomy.

you could liken it to frankenstein without the grisly nature of the experiment. i knew what i was doing when i made them. however, i think my next best deal is sitting right here in front of me. what do you think?? ❞

Hi zumi can u do a tutorial on making music?

Okay, so I'll just answer this with that while people may not think so, I am FAR from confident enough in what i do with music that i can give solid advice, haha

Honestly my approach with music has been fake it till you make it, I learned almost everything through trial and error by just messing around in FL studio! And also hitting my head against a wall on several occasions.

I happen to have some background with music to begin with --two years of the wooden recorder as a kid and four years of acoustic guitar later on, of which the latter two was with vocal classes as well-- which helped the switch from playing instruments traditionally to doing digital production a little easier.

It was... far from a smooth experience nonetheless. My dumb ass did not look up tutorials for the most part, nor did I really delve into music theory (which while imo far from necessary to compose good music can still help you in some situations), so it really is far from the most efficient method to learn anything. I do stuff mostly by feeling and heart so it's??? generally pretty hard to explain properly??????? kinda just fucking around and finding out, really.

But if you were hoping to get solid advice, there's plenty of tutorials on youtube that would probably do a better job at explaining stuff than i can lmao

2. What's a song that you wish more people knew about?

7. What do you think love is?

8. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

17. What still excites you?

19. Where is one place you feel most like yourself?

24. What's something you like about yourself that you wish more people recognized?

2. What's a song that you wish more people knew about?

I can't think of just one song.. I love music, my URL is a line from my soul song (Schism by Tool), so songs tend to kind of flow with what my mood/energy needs because it's just life for me... I NEED music. I do wish more people knew and appreciated NF, Jellyroll, NEFFEX, Citizen Soldier... A lot of music I listen to is for the lyrics, some is just cuz I love the pump/energy (especially for workouts), some are just cuz I love singing along with it, or it's fun. While my primary genre would be metal/alternative metal, there are so many amazing artists out there. There's a song called "Mind of Mine" by Lø Spirit that I think a lot of people who struggle with mental illness would connect with. Out of the songs I have been listening to lately - Someone by Aaron Lewis (for many reasons) but I really think a lot of people miss out on his amazing voice and talent because he now sings country..

7. What do you think love is?

Love is crazy... while it will initially make you feel like you are invincible and can walk on water, it becomes a comfort, and a choice. I hope we are all lucky enough to find that person that makes us choose them, and them to choose us, day after day. Love should never be painful, only the loss of love should hurt.

8. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

To get rid of my allergies =P But seriously, a lot of the things that I struggle with are tied to my ADHD, but a lot of what makes me amazing is also my ADHD, so I don't really want to change anything, I am comfortable with myself, in my skin and knowing my flaws, and working on them so that they affect myself and those I care about less (executive dysfunction is a cunt tho).

17. What still excites you?

Life does... While it can beat us down, it is all an experience and there is always a positive take on everything that happens, and a lesson to be learned from the shit.

I am a total whore for the moon tho, it brings me euphoria, and road trips make me giddy like a kid (although I actually prefer to take them alone - mostly cuz I can just rock out and drive, two things I absolutely LOVE - happy my job now is as a testing driver too)

19. Where is one place you feel most like yourself?

By water

24. What's something you like about yourself that you wish more people recognized?

My kindness - a lot of people are intimidated by me, and I realize I'm a very intense/strong personality, but I am literally the kindest and most understanding person, so I always wonder how many people don't approach or talk to me because of my appearance. I have a huge heart, which can be taken advantage of at times.

I have had most of my friends for most of my life, or at least my adult life. They all know I am always there for them, no matter how long it is between "check-ins" cuz adult life is busy, and that they can call me/text me whenever... they also come to me when they want absolute truth, because I believe in building up/supporting my friends with honesty, but will also call out bullshit (which is what friendship SHOULD be about... they also call me out on my own bullshit).

[cryptidwritings]

Tumblr has been devouring my asks of late, so I just want to check- did you get a Whumper turned whumpee ask based on one of your drabbles?

Hi! Yes I did! It's in the queue. It should drop tomorrow unless I continue to check for typos like the anxious gremlin I am, then it might publish sooner 😅

Can we have some more premature ejaculation hcs? Dealer's choice

Premature Ejaculation With the Monster Trio + Law

A/N: Anon i hope you know that i was writing this before you even requested it so i need you to kindly evict my brain thank you very much sdflfsdj Parings: Luffy x reader, Zoro x reader, Sanji x reader, Law x reader (all separate) CW: Penetrative sex (zoro and luffy), sanji cums in his pants, oral male recieving (law), ummmm idk what else to put if anyone notes anything i missed let me know! WC: 2.2k total ~400-600 each.

You’d been teasing Luffy all day with light touches and coy glances, watching as he grew more and more restless as the hours passed. By the time most of the crew retired to sleep, Luffy was practically bouncing with anticipation, unable to contain his energy for much longer.

The moment you were alone, he was on you, pressing you against the wall with a force that nearly knocked the wind out of you. His lips met yours in a heated kiss, his hands grabbing at your body eagerly. You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer as his body pressed against yours. You could already feel his erection in his pants. His lips parted as a half groan, half whimper escaped his throat as he grew more and more eager to be inside of you.

As your hands dragged along his chest, feeling each and every muscle of his abdomen, he peeled away your bottoms rather quickly, along with his own in a burst of urgency. He grabbed you by the waist and led you backwards until you fell onto a bed, and Luffy climbed over you, his grin wide as he leaned down to kiss you again.

His lips traveled down your neck, his breath hot against your skin as he kissed every open surface he could find. His hands gripped your thighs, spreading them apart as he settled between them, his cock already poking at your entrance with an impatience that made you gasp. You felt his tip rub across your dripping hole, using the wetness to slicken himself up before he pushed into you with a groan. Luffy set a frantic pace as he buried himself inside you. “Ngh, you’re so tight,” he whined out, his voice strained as he thrust into you. Each thrust was filled with a desperate need, his desire for you evident as he chased his own release. “Ah, ah, ah, so good!”

You could hear the neediness dripping from his voice, and just as you felt your own pleasure starting to build, his rhythm faltered, his body tensing with a choked gasp. “Oh, ah, I'm gonna-,” he whimpered, his hips bucking into you as he came, spilling into you with a trembling release. The suddenness of his climax took both of you by surprise, his breathing heavy as he collapsed against you.

“‘m sorry,” he mumbled into your skin, his voice still lust laden. “I—I couldn’t hold it. It just felt…” he trailed off, seemingly struggling to find the right words in his post-euphoric state.

You couldn’t help but find his inability to hold back quite amusing. You reached up and brushed his hair back out of his eyes, a gentle smile playing on your lips as you stroked his cheek. “It’s okay,” you said, trying to reassure him despite the tinge of disappointment that the moment couldn’t last long enough for you to finish. You figured it would only be a little while longer before he recovered so you could keep going, but as he lay against you, his breathing calming, you noticed something odd.

Luffy wasn’t pulling out, and he wasn’t getting softer.

You were confused. It was as if he hadn’t just climaxed a moment ago. He let out a low groan, shifting slightly as if he was getting in position to go at it again.

“Wait, Luffy?... Already?” you asked, seemingly confused, yet you couldn’t help but feel rather happy at the idea that he could go for another round so soon.

It seemed as if he had newfound energy coursing through him, and he looked at you with a grin, as if that earlier climax was just a warm-up. He leaned down and kissed you, mumbling against your lips, “You just felt so good.” He rolled his hips into yours, swallowing the gasp that was pulled from you. “Just want a bit more,” he added, his hands roaming down to your hips, grabbing them firmly as he hoisted you up, getting into position to set a brutal pace once more. You had a long night ahead of you.

---

Zoro is usually the one in control, on top, his large body pressing you into the mattress with each thrust. He knew how to hit all the right spots, and it was utterly intoxicating. You moaned out his name, clutching onto his shoulders as he moved within you, setting a pace that made it difficult to think of anything but the feeling of his cock dragging in and out of you.

He leaned down to capture your lips in a kiss, rolling his hips into yours at a slower pace—a brief pause to let you catch your breath. You took advantage of the break, lightly pushing on his chest. He broke the kiss, gave you a knowing look, then flipped himself off you and onto his back. You then crawled over him and straddled him with a playful grin.

You took hold of his cock, lining it up with your entrance, rubbing your shared slick onto his tip but not quite putting it in yet. His hands flew to your hips, his grip tightening as he urged you downward, groaning, "Don't be a tease." At his words, you sank down onto his cock, the stretch drawing sighs and groans of pleasure from both of you. As you descended, feeling the full length of him inside you, the sensation was almost overwhelming—he was filling you up in all the right ways.

His grip on your hips tightened, his knuckles nearly turning white from the pressure as he tried to keep his composure. You could see the tension in his muscles as he struggled to maintain some semblance of control, his deep groans filling the room.

“Fuck, you’re so tight,” he muttered, his voice a low growl as you started to rock your hips. You set a slower pace, yet you could tell he was struggling to hold on, his brows knit in concentration as he fought to maintain restraint. But with each slow, deliberate roll of your hips, his control seemed to slip further and further away.

“Wait,” he gasped, his eyes squeezing shut as his hips bucked slightly beneath you. “Don’t—” His words were cut off by a sharp groan as you continued to move.

“Zoro~” you said, a playful edge to your voice as you placed your hands on his chest to anchor yourself as you rode him. “What's wrong? Hmm?”

He grunted in response, his hands gripping your hips tightly as he tried to steady you. “I’m serious,” he breathed, his voice strained. “If you keep doing that, I’m gonna—”

But it was too late. With one last roll of your hips, you felt him tense beneath you, his body shuddering as he reached his breaking point. A low, guttural moan escaped his lips as he came, his cum releasing into you in hot spurts. His head tilted back, his muscles clenching as he gave in to the pleasure, the hands on your hips holding you in place onto him as he released inside you.

You couldn’t help but feel some amusement as you looked down at him, his euphoric expression mixed with embarrassment was certainly a sight to enjoy. “Damn it,” he muttered, his cheeks flushing with color.

You leaned down and placed a slow kiss on his lips, pulling back slightly with a playful smirk. “Mmm, that was cute,” you started. “But I’m not done yet.” And with that, you started your movements again, picking up pace as you started to bounce on him with a rhythm that made him groan nearly instantaneously. The sounds escaping his lips were like music to your ears, and you knew you had him exactly where you wanted him.

---

Sanji's lips were hot against yours, the eagerness of the kiss making your head spin. His hands roamed your body, grabbing and squeezing at whatever he could as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding into your mouth with a hunger and desire that was heady.

You pressed your body against his, feeling his erection grow by the second as he grinded his hips into you. His throbbing cock pressed against your thigh, and you couldn’t help but smirk into the kiss as you slid your hand down to rub against him, teasing him with each movement of your hand.

Your other hand then traveled to his hair, your fingers threading through his blonde locks, giving it a gentle tug that elicited a breathy moan from him. His lips parted from yours with a soft gasp, eyes glazed over with thirst as he met your gaze.

“Merde,” he cursed under his breath, his hips instinctively grinding against your hand in response to each and every touch. His own hands traced the curves of your hips and waist, the softness of your thighs, leaving behind goosebumps.

He pressed his forehead against yours, his breath coming out in shallow pants as he continued his movements, his arousal growing with each movement against your hand. Soon, a low, shuddering moan escaped Sanji’s lips, his body trembling against yours as you felt the fabric beneath your hand dampen. His body slumped over yours, his chest heaving as he caught his breath, cheeks turning red seemingly at the embarrassment of finishing before his pants even came off.

When you realized what had happened, you couldn’t help but chuckle softly, pressing a kiss to his cheek as you ran your fingers through his hair. “Couldn’t hold back, huh?” you teased, feeling a sense of triumph at the way his cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red at your words.

Sanji let out a breathless laugh, his voice soft and filled with lingering pleasure. “I’m sorry,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you against him. His lips found yours again, capturing them in a slow, tender kiss, pulling back just to whisper, “Trust me, I am going to make it up to you.”

---

You traced your fingers along the waistband of Law’s pants, his impatience growing as you unbuttoned them, pulling the zipper down with a teasing slowness. You could see his eagerness in the way his hands couldn't stand still—one hand fidgeting with the bedsheets beneath him, the other behind your head, unconsciously pulling you closer to his erection with each passing second.

With a smirk, you eased his pants down, revealing the bulge in his underwear. You could see his muscles tense as you took your time, running your fingers along the edge of the fabric before finally tugging them down, freeing him from the confines of his underwear. It bounced upwards, and a low groan escaped his lips as his cock met the cold air.

You leaned in, your lips grazing against the skin of his inner thighs. He looked at you with pupils blown wide with desire as you planted kisses closer and closer to where he wanted you most. You took his member in your hand and began to stroke it slowly, your thumb tracing a circle around the tip before gliding down the shaft. Law’s hips twitched in response, his chest heaving as his fingers flexed in your hair.

Looking up at him with those innocent eyes, you continued your slow strokes, relishing the way his expression contorted with every movement. The teasing strokes seemed to be working well, his body responding with subtle shifts and restrained groans. His grip on the bed sheets tightened, as if he were trying to steady himself, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. You knew you had him right where you wanted him, teetering on the edge of restraint and release.

Finally, you leaned in, your tongue darting out to flick across the head of his cock, licking up the precum that was dripping from it. The taste only made you want more, and as you took him into your mouth, you could feel him shudder in response. Law’s grip on your hair grew firmer, his body stiffening as he let out a sharp breath.

It didn’t take much to send him over the edge. After only one stroke of your warm mouth sliding over his length, he came undone, crying out in the process. Law’s hips bucked, his hand pushing your head down against him as he came, the sudden pressure making you choke and gag, your eyes watering as he rode out his climax. His cum came in hot, thick spurts, each one painting your mouth and throat a milky white, and you had no choice but to swallow it all.

His body trembled with the force of his orgasm, and as he started to calm down, he relaxed his grip on your hair, allowing you to pull off his cock, coughing slightly as you looked up at him with a smirk. He tilted his head down to look at you, chest heaving with each breath. You could see redness creeping up his cheeks as he realized just how quickly he came. You didn’t mind, though. You brought your hand up and swiped the excess cum that was on the corner of your mouth, popping your finger into your mouth to clean it up. You noticed Law’s cock twitch at the sight of you doing that, and with a soft chuckle, you leaned in, muttering to him, “That was nice… let's see if I can make that happen again.”

Hiiii idk if you’re doing requests rn but I just ADORE how you write Izuku and katsuki like omg-

Anyways- my meds are causing me some crazy nightmares lately and I was wondering how they would handle you waking up from a nightmare???

If you don’t take requests then forget this ever happened :’)

Have a nice day byeeeeee!!!

NIGHTMARES you wake up in a start and wake them up in the process

with izuku & katsuki

notes guys i know ive been away for way too long im so sorry!!! :( i'm in the process of moving so it's stressful T-T thanks for the request, anon, hope those nightmares got/get better :( <3

it was so vivid. your mind sunk into an alternate reality that captured all your senses. you felt yourself spiraling deeper and deeper, faster and faster—

your body jolted upright with a breathless yell and a sharp gasp, the world stilling for a mere second...

and then you leaned over your knees, your lungs racing to catch up with your need for oxygen. your chest felt tight and you squeezed your eyes, remembering that your boyfriend was laying peacefully beside you.

you peeked to your side and found him staring right back—wide, bright eyes piercing into your own—sending a shock through your body.

IZUKU

"god, izuku, you scared me—" you sighed, your hand pressing on your stomach as if that would make the uneasy feeling disappear.

"i scared you?" he sat up further, scooching closer to your side. "you scared me, angel. are you okay? you're out of breath, honey. let's do it together, okay?"

you whimpered softly as you tried to follow his guide. izuku could tell you were in distress and it took everything to stop himself from overwhelming you with questions. he just laced his fingers with yours and squeezed.

"good job, honey." izuku praised you ever-so-softly, rubbing your back soothingly. "feeling a bit better?"

you nodded, frowning. "m'sorry for waking you—"

"angel." he whined, letting his eyes do all the talking. "don't do that! please, don't do that." he actually sounded offended.

you looked away from him, your throat hurting from holding back tears. "it's been happening all the time, though, and you need your rest. maybe i should take the guest room?" you were more talking to yourself than anything, but izuku refused to let you entertain such an idea.

izuku's shoulders slumped, the shock fading as drowsiness began to overtake him. he smiled lazily, fighting a yawn. "y/n, even if i knew you would wake me up every night for the rest of time, i'd still choose to be here beside you."

you turned to face him, the horror of your nightmare slowly fading to the back of your mind. "really?"

"really." he confirmed.

you smiled, letting your head rest on your knees as you stared at him lovingly.

the rustle of sheets and whistle of wind reminded the both of you that it was indeed the middle of the night. izuku tugged you closer by your waist, pulling you back onto the bed. he groaned softly, stretching a little before he relaxed against you. "did you wanna talk about it?"

you pursed your lips. curling into his embrace, you immediately felt warmer. "...not right now."

he kissed your forehead. "don't worry, i'll always be right here to protect you from anything your head throws at you. you just tell me and let me at 'em." he kissed you again before wrapping both arms around you.

his steady breathing and soft snores brought a fond smile to your face. you found yourself falling asleep despite the night's events.

KATSUKI

you both stared at each other for a good few seconds before you spoke up.

"sorry for waking you," you mumbled, still having trouble managing your breathing. you turned away from him, pressing your palms into your eyes.

"no," he whispered with a softness reserved for you only. "you didn't wake me."

you stared at him through the darkness and could see him so clearly. "katsuki—"

"shh, it's okay, baby." he gave you a soft smile, once again reassuring you. "come 'ere."

you sniffed as you inched closer. katsuki gently took your arm and pulled you the rest of the way right into his arms. his hand fell to your waist, tracing little shapes and lines as he allowed you time.

"wanna talk about it?" he asked.

you shook your head.

"okay." he squeezed your shoulder, kissing your cheek. he figured you'd tell him when you were ready—the last thing he wanted to do was stress you out even more. it was hard, not to get all the answers on what was bothering was you... it was in his nature to want to make all your problems go away. "what do you need?"

you hand wound around his torso, hugging him back. "um..." you shuddered as you breathed in. "just you."

he smiled against your skin. "yeah? promise you're not holding back on me?"

you giggled. "yes."

"cuz you know i'd do literally anything—"

you sat up slightly, turning to face him with a swat to his chest. your face burned and it was a struggle to recall the images of your nightmare. "katsuki! oh my god."

"what?" he scrunched his nose. his eyes never left you. "it's true."

you returned to your spot between his arm. "just you."

"whatever you say." he pressed his lips to your temple before he got comfy. he sighed. "goodnight, pretty. wake me when those stupid nightmares bug you again, okay?"

your heart fluttered and your smile grew out of your control. "okay."
