i’m so full of love i could barely eat
Logan/Veronica. What should’ve happened in 4.08.
title taken from work song by hozier. the “come on, lover boy” is, obviously, a reference to dirty dancing.
“Oh, shit,” Logan scrunched his face up at the alert on his phone. “that street cleaning thing is today.”
Veronica glanced over amused. “Since when do you care about street cleaning?”
“Since someone gave me a very long lecture on wasteful spending,” he tossed his phone onto the bed and kissed her dizzy on the lips. “I’m gonna go move your car, I’ll be right back.”
“You’re just doing this because you know I’m winning and you need a chance to regroup your argument.”
“Sedona does not count as a real honeymoon,” Logan said flatly.
“It’s a renowned relaxation destination!” Veronica countered. “People go there all the time.”
Logan rolled his eyes and pushed the window open. “Sedona’s a total joke, it’s just republicans pretending to commune with nature.”
“That’s ridiculous —“ Veronica started, but Logan interrupted her with a peck on the lips.
“I’m going down to move the car. You can shout your argument at me through the window. You know,” he waggled his eyebrows at her. “like we’re an old married couple.”
Veronica couldn’t contain the smile that broke across her face. “You’re gonna lose!” She called out after him as Logan disappeared through the door, tossing her an affectionate smirk over his shoulder as he went.
Logan raised a hand to shield his eyes from the sun and headed straight for Veronica’s car.
“Sedona’s one of the most beautiful places in the world,” Veronica called through the window.
He snorted. “Arizona’s not part of the world.”
“Are you kidding me? What about the grand freaking canyon?”
Logan laughed, loud and bright, nearing the car door and reaching out for the door handle.
“Psssst,” Veronica whispered behind him, and he turned to look, sure she was leaning half of the window, showing him a picture of the grand canyon and smiling triumphantly because she knew she had him.
Veronica wasn’t at the window.
Lilly Kane was standing at the street corner, shimmering, a wicked smile on her lips.
“Come here, lover boy,” Lilly commanded, and then she turned and slipped around the corner.
Logan followed.
//
“Look at this,” Veronica ran to the window, a picture of the grand canyon pulled up on her laptop. “Look at this and tell me Arizona’s not part of the world.”
She leaned out the window, eager to demonstrate her being right and his being wrong, but the street was empty. She frowned, placing the laptop on the floor beside her, and stretched out on her tiptoes, craning her neck out the window and scanning for any sign of Logan.
She knew he didn’t care about a seventy dollar ticket for street cleaning! Which could only mean that he had a surprise planned for her.
Veronica smiled.
The world blew up.
//
The EMTs wrapped them both firmly in shock blankets and told them in no uncertain terms that they were to remain in the ambulance, which was kind of a relief, since Veronica’s nerves were shot to absolute hell and she could feel Logan pulsating next to her.
The explosion had knocked her backwards, against the bed, and she’d thought--
Veronica reached over and squeezed Logan’s hand firmly, grounding herself on his touch. Nothing had happened to him. He was here and he was safe and nothing had happened.
Logan knocked her gently with his shoulder, responding to the desperation in her touch. Then, tentatively,
“You really....didn’t check the car after giving him a ride?”
“What kind of detective do you take me for?” Veronica spat, wounded. “Of course I checked the car.”
Logan was still a moment, taking that in, and then he jerked next to her, scrambling to try and exit to ambulance, but Veronica gripped his arm tight.
“Don’t,” Veronica urged. “Let’s worry about it later.”
“Somebody tried to fucking kill you and you want me to worry about it later?”
“Yes.”
Logan looked her face over and relented, scooting back to sit next to her, his leg pressed up against hers, radiating his warmth and his life.
Veronica wiggled herself under his arm and laid her head against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat and relaxing against the steadiness of his breathing. “Hey,” she said, remembering. “Where’d you go anyway? How’d you know to get away from the car?”
Logan rubbed his palms together and shifted anxiously beside her. “I saw Lilly.”
Veronica was silent.
“What? Nothing about how therapy’s clearly a scam?” He raised his eyebrows at her. “I don’t even rate a you-see-dead-people joke?”
Veronica smiled and shook her head. “I used to see her all the time,” she confessed. “Lilly’s the one who stopped me from getting on that school bus.”
Logan tried to laugh, shaky, and sagged against her with relief, pressing a fervent kiss at the top of her head.
Veronica grabbed his hand and pressed a kiss quick into the palm of his hand. She could’ve lost him today. Would’ve lost him, forever, and never been able to get him back. Tears rushed her and she blinked hard trying to will them away.
“I’ll try. The therapy thing. I’m not making any promises and I’m not saying it’ll work but,” her voice broke. “if it’s so important to you I’ll try. I’ll go.”
Logan said nothing, just wrapped his arms tight around her and pulled her close against his chest, gently brushing her tears away.
“I can’t believe I finally got off of Lilly’s shit list,” he joked, pressing a soft kiss to her temple, and then to her jawline, and then to her earlobe.
Veronica shifted so that she could see his face —drink in the freckles smattering across his nose, the crinkles around his eyes, the dimples he got whenever he smiled, and that stupid. fucking. mouth.
She reached out and placed her hands gentle on either side of his face. “She must’ve known you were gonna be okay.”
Logan drew in a sharp, ragged breath and started to cry.
“I love you so much,” Veronica told him, still holding his face so he couldn’t look away. “So much. And I know these past few months have been hard and I’m sorry, but I promise I’m gonna be better.”
Logan let out a watery laugh. “You’re stealing my material, Mars.”
Veronica surged up against him, kissing him frenzied and hungry and sweet.
Logan responded in kind, his hands anchoring at her hips while she grabbed fistfuls of his hair and kissed every inch of exposed skin she could get to until she was breathless from it.
“Just you wait until we’re out of this EMT van,” Veronica promised, nipping at his jaw. “I’m going to fuck your brains out.”
Logan grinned and kissed her soft on the tip of the nose. “Looking forward to it.”
“I can’t believe I almost lost you.”
Logan shook his head. “You’re never gonna lose me.”
“But I almost-“
“You know,” Logan cut her off. “a long time ago this pesky girl told me that everything was gonna be okay, that she could feel it.”
Veronica rolled her eyes, jabbing him gently in the stomach with her elbow. She could almost remember the conversation, they were spinning in a hallway and Logan’s hands were warm and wide.
“And was she right?”
“The pesky girl? No, she was a total idiot.”
“Logan!” she gasped, swatting at his arm, scandalized.
He grinned down at her, fond and wholly unrepentant. “Yes,” he amended, swallowing his laughter. “She was right.”
“Damn straight she was,” Veronica grumbled and then poked Logan hard in the chest before he could retort. “And no- I didn’t just call myself pesky.”
“Whatever you say bobcat,” Logan preened and then kissed her, slow and sweet, melting like honey against her mouth.

Like A Heretic - Marilyn Manson x Reader [Fluff]
Synopsis: You know Manson from one (1) party, yet he feels the need to drunk text you his obscene propositions at 2 am on a Wednesday?
Notes: What?? I wrote a fluff fic?? Yea, it’s been known to happen. Shhh. Pale Emperor era. Also, this one is gender neutral, reader can be any gender!
You collapse into the plush of your down comforter, feeling the fluffy feathers sink beneath you. Smiling to yourself, you clear the day away in your brain, bulldozing over every worry, publicity problem, or stressed manager that could be dealt with the next day. For now, you’re in your bed, and nothing can come between you and a peaceful night’s sleep.
You cuddle into your pillow. The feeling you’ve got right now is comparable to a the perfect orgasm-- you never want to leave this bed. Your mind starts to drift, and you picture yourself on a beach somewhere, where no one can reach you. No one... no one... except that bee buzzing in your ear.
Groggily, you open your eyes. That’s not a bee. It’s your phone.
Dammit, why didn’t you put it on silent? You go to turn it off properly, but the text on your screen makes you hesitate. You blink a few times, squinting through the dark at your phone. Were you reading that right?!
Manson: Hey (y/n) psssst. I’ve got a secret can I tell you the secret
“What the fuck?” you mumble out loud, and sigh, turning on your bedside lamp. Manson? What... oh. Oh, yeah. About two months ago, you had attended a music awards event in New York, and had met a few new people. One of them had been Marilyn Manson. He had been a lot more down to earth than you had imagined he would be, and the two of you hit it off pretty well.
It struck you as interesting as well, but he had followed you around that night like a lost puppy. He always wanted to be around you, and it had been him who had suggested you exchange numbers, maybe hang out, go see a movie or something. You had excitedly given him your number, but didn’t think much would come of it. He probably got lots of people’s numbers, then forgot about them the next week.
So why was he texting you at... 2:13 in the morning?! You stare at the same text again.
Manson: Hey (y/n) psssst. I’ve got a secret can I tell you the secret
You bite your lip, and type out a quick text back.
(y/n): Shoot.
His reply is almost immediate.
Manson: I wanted to say when I saw you and we hung out at radio city last month you were cute really sexy n beautiful ad I miss you :( :(
You blush a little bit, but type back a cautious text.
(y/n): You feeling alright?
Before you can hit send though, another text from him comes in.
Manson: If you think I am drunk and handsome you are correct, i’m both
You giggle a little, and sit up fully. Manson’s drunk texting you, telling you you’re cute? This couldn’t get any crazier if you made it up.
Manson: Do you know what sexting is?
You raise your eyebrows.
(y/n): I’m familiar with it, yes.
You bite your lip. Should you add a winky face? Before you can, he writes back.
Manson: what if i told you I wanted to lick your body ad probably do butt stuff with you too?
You feel yourself heat up even more, and you don’t know whether to laugh or get aroused.
(y/n): You fucking with me, Manson?
Manson: I would like to fuck you, yes.
(y/n): So... tell me more, then. What else would you do to me?
Manson: Id cum on your chest
Manson: oops was that too far?
(y/n): No... go on.
Manson: maybe on your face then if you want that, I wanna be respectful
Manson: I’d also punish your sex hole. i’m really good at that
(y/n): You sound like a porn bot lol
Manson: dirty old man in your area looking for hot singles <3 that looks like a pointy dick
You giggle, and are about to sign off so you can sleep for real, but he texts again with something that makes you pause.
Manson: Wanna cum over?
You stare at the text, waiting to see if he’ll write again. You wait, and wait. Nothing else is coming in. You type out a few possible responses. Then you finally hit send on your last one, biting your lip.
(y/n): What’s your address?
Shit. Shit shit! What are you doing? Looking back at your bed though, you can’t deny you feel a thrill. This is the shit you moved here to LA to do.
---
Pulling up to Manson’s address, the place is just like him-- not what you were expecting. It’s a dark apartment above a liquor store, with black out curtains covering the window. You walk over to the stairs, and catch the door when someone walks out. Heading inside, you look down at your phone, and find his number. Apartment 15.
You knock softly, and wait. When he doesn’t come to the door, you shoot him off another text.
(y/n): I’m at your door, don’t leave me hanging or I’ll leave you with a hard on
He doesn’t respond, and you hear a moan inside. You frown, and try the door handle-- it’s open. You walk in, forgetting momentarily where you are, and see that the place is a relative mess. Piles high of books, records and movies are stacked along the walls, and there’s like, one dying plant by the darkened window. It’s laughable to assume the poor thing gets any sun, which is also a statement that could be applied to the rock star you’d come to sleep with.
A bunch of album artwork for his new record, the Pale Emperor, is laid out on his table as well. You take a quick glance at it, before dropping your jacket.
“Hey,” you call out, “I’m taking my top off! You’re gonna miss it if you don’t come find me!” You hear the moan again, and walk down the hallway. “Oh, fuck.”
“’M alright...” He’s on the floor, in a puddle, four small cats surrounding him. One rusty colored one is lapping from the puddle. Was this a Jimmi Hendrix situation???
“Please don’t tell me that’s piss,” you mutter, “Cause I am not cleaning that up.”
One of his four cats meows loudly. Manson just laughs. “It’s vodka. I slipped and broke the bottle.”
“That I can clean up,” you nod, but first, you help him to his feet. He wobbles a little, and falls into you. Pinned against the wall, his lips are inches from yours... until his head thumps beside yours, lips pressed into your neck. He’s so fucking gone. You look around, and spot the washroom down the hall the other way. You help him slowly, and he keeps talking the whole way.
“You’re so fuckin’ gorgeous,” he mumbles, “My brain camera remembered you were hot but I didn’t remember you being this hot... mmhm...”
“You still down to fuck me?” you tease, helping him sit on the edge of his bathtub. His eyes widen a bit as he licks his lips and points a swaying finger.
“Baby I was born ready to fuck. I came out of the womb with an erection.”
You cringe. “That’s... a very disturbing mental image.”
“You know what else is disturbing? My DICK.” He frowns a little, nose scrunching up. “But not for... it’s not disturbing, it’s just disturbing how big it is... or...”
“Stop, you’re turning me on,” you smirk sarcastically, and get a towel, dabbing his face down with cool water. “How does that feel?”
“Oh baby, you feel so good, fuck,” he moans, and you blink. God damn, he really is wasted.
“Good to hear.” You plant a kiss on his cheek as you sponge down his arms, and he purrs like a big happy cat, nuzzling into your chest.
“Do that again?” You smile, and lean in, kissing him again, this time closer to his mouth. Then you kiss him again, and again, each one earning more praise from the god of fuck before you. “Mm yeah-- oh yeah-- yeah yeah, right there-- yeah yeah right there...” He grins, eyes closing. “Mmm, delightful.” He blinks up at you, swiping a hand across his smudged eyeliner. “Will you... be my friend?”
“Sure. Friends to lovers is always a fun way to go.” He seems genuinely happy with this. “You know, you’re sexy too,” you say, helping him take his shirt off. You glance down his chest and stomach at his tattoos, trying to focus on the project at hand instead of actually picturing riding him right now. “I thought so the night I met you at Radio City, and I think so now.”
“Really?” he hums, reaching up in his stupor to put a hand against his chin. He suddenly seems bashful, and realizing how vulnerable he’s made himself, hides half of his face. “Even without my makeup?”
“Definitely. I happen to think you’re beautiful.” He purses his lips.
“You’re lying.”
“I’m not! In fact, if you weren’t absolutely shit hammered right now, I’d probably want you balls deep.”
He groans. “Fuck it if I’m drunk, that’s when I’m in my strongest form!” He slips a little, steadying himself on the toilet as he stands.
“I would disagree with that, but...”
“Besides, with all those compliments, you’re... you’re making my dick hard, see? And now it’s... ahh, it’s gonna be mad at me if I don’t... you know, fuck you, so...”
“Shh, for now try to walk straight.”
“Where are my asshole cats?”
“They were all watching you describe your dick to me,” you say, and he wags a finger their way.
“Dooon’t listen to daddy, my loves. Nonono. Bad. This is grown up human people talk!”
You giggle. “You must like cats.”
“I am a cat person, I love cats. That’s why I don’t give it doggy style, cause I’m a cat man. The crazy cat man. That sounds like a serial killer...”
You giggle, and guide him back down the hall. “Where’s the bedroom?” He lifts his chin to gesture to it.
“Last door on the right.” You help him into bed, and he tosses a pillow at a tall vase in the corner, sending it shattering. “Goddamn ghosts in my house, watching me sleep,” he slurs, and points wildly to his closet. “The sex toys are in there, if you wanna get yourself started...”
You smile, politely neglecting the sex closet of the rock star you’d been booty called by. Masturbating in said rock star’s home while he’s passed out shitfaced doesn’t look good for anyone involved.
“Goodnight Manson,” you sing song, and shut his door. Pressing your back against it, you exhale. What just happened?
You carefully walk over to the spilled vodka, and check the shards of glass. Thankfully no blood anywhere-- that would have been even worse to clean up. You grab a rag from the kitchen, and start mopping up the floor. One of his cats walks over from the bathroom, and starts to rub against your ankle.
“Well, hi. What’s your name, love?” You check the tag. “William. Very handsome name. Handsome just like your dad.” You sigh, as William follows you around the apartment. You feel like you shouldn’t be here anymore. It was a mistake-- he was obviously too drunk to do anything to or with you tonight. You should just leave. Yeah. Go back home, forget this ever happened and... maybe check in with him tomorrow morning, see how bad his hangover is. If he responds.
Just as you’re about to leave though, you hear his slurred voice call from the bedroom. “(y/n)--!”
You hesitate, then walk back in, shutting the door. You walk over to his room, and open the door. “Yeah?”
“...Get into bed with me? Please? Wanna hold someone...”
You look behind you, and then to him again, where he’s laying, tangled in his limbs, in the large bed. You nod, and close the door to a crack, coming in. You unzip your hoodie, and before you can come to your senses, you get into one side of his king sized bed. You hear him breathing softly, and smile a little at the sudden intimacy of it all, turning over in fetal position. Not how you expected this night to turn out, but it might be even better.
Just as you’re falling asleep in the bed of the Antichrist, you feel arms wrap around you from behind, and feel his head in the nape of your neck. Beginnings of rare stubble scratch your skin pleasantly.
“This an okay alternative to butt stuff?” he mumbles, and you reach up to hold his wrists against you.
“It’s perfect.”
