about to get really deep on main for a second but. eddie's storyline this half of the season is honestly one of the most heartbreakingly real, and relatable storylines they've done, and i cannot undersell the profound affect its having on me as a person. because being an adult can be so, so lonely. and you can have a great job, and good friends, and a family you love, and still be so lonely it feels like you can barely breathe.
it’s a particular kind of heartbreak to see the people you love the most have a outside of you and meet new people all while you remain stuck where you’ve been for years. that recognition of eddie not wanting a life spent alone and the way they're portraying that overwhelming loneliness in such a quiet, careful way is magic writing.
and it gives me hope as someone who's in one of those lonely phases of their life: because i think eddie is going to end this season happier and maybe i will too.

thinking about vidyadhara!reader x jing yuan ...
we learned in the recent quests that vidyadhara can indeed become mara struck under the right circumstances, but they're capable of molting and turning into someone entirely new, thus freed from the mara that once struck them ... but of course, along with the molting process comes the loss of memory.
so imagine a reader who was once great friends with jing yuan. the two grew up together practically, working in the cloud knights together, doing everything together. jing yuan, despite his newfound duties as a cloud knight, finds himself falling in love with you.
then, amidst one of the abundance wars, you are stricken with mara. he watches you go insane, just before you disappear. and then, somehow, you are gone from his life forever.
for years, he wonders if you perished on that battlefield shortly before he was dragged away from you. he wonders if you suffered. surely, with the insanity of the mara wreaking havoc on your mind, you had. but at least he can be confident that you would not have had to live through that for long... that's what he tells himself so he can sleep at night.
it takes the general so, so long to let go of what happened. centuries pass, and he's still not confident he can completely dash the thought of you from his mind when he sees a new stall open with a snack he thinks you'd like, or when he sees the tailor shops put out a new line of clothes in your favorite hue.
and then, one day, he sees a familiar face among the crowds.
jing yuan is so quick to rush to your side, trying frantically to catch his breath, to ensure that what he sees before his own eyes is you, not some vision made up by his mind, not a sign that he's succumbing to mara himself, but really and truly you.
yet you only give him a nervous half-smile, your form going stiff the second you see him. you bow politely, and ask if there's anything you can do for the general. you ask him if you've met before.
it's you, and yet it's not.
he lets out that small hum of his when he's trying to fight back the pain he feels. he puts on that placating smile of his when he's trying not to let his hurt show. and he shakes his head, though it takes him nearly a minute under your familiar gaze to do it.
"...no. forgive me. I must have mistaken you for an old friend."
it's you, and yet it's not.
and it never will be you again.

ok but yknow how zoya left with bay yi and all after that one incident… how about shes watched you all along and comes back and just fucks fem chief so sweetly to make up for everything?
nsft utc—
REUNION SEX AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA after so so long she can finally hold you again and touch you again and oh, she’s not letting you go for the next week at least—
the first few rounds would be the most desperate fucking, your hands and hers clawing and tearing at each other’s clothes. she needs to feel you, warm and alive under her touch, her hands roaming up and down your body and delighting in the way you squirm and respond to her with soft sighs and mewls. she loves the feeling of your fingers winding tight in her hair, your blunt nails scraping along her scalp as she presses hot kisses down the column of your neck. she’s painfully, achingly hard in her pants but god she fucking needs to taste you now so she’s sinking down to her knees immediately, spreading your legs apart and just diving right for your pussy.
zoya makes out with your dripping cunt, throwing one of your legs over her shoulder as she eats you out against the wall. her lips and tongue make loud smacking noises as she licks and slurps at your cunt like it’s the last meal of her life. she loves it when your hips jerk and you fuck yourself on her tongue, the cute whine that tumbles from your mouth when your swollen clit catches against her nose. when you cum into her mouth she groans, the taste of you nearly making her nearly spill in her pants.
she doesn’t give you a moment to recover though, rising back up to her feet in a flash and lining her freed cock with your sopping cunt, slipping into you in one smooth thrust. her teeth worry the skin of your neck as you squeeze around her with a pleasured wail, your pussy gushing around the base of her and leaving a faint white ring. you feel so good wrapped around her thick cock that she gets a little pussydrunk, muttering how well you were taking her with each rut of her hips. she fucks into you at an inhuman pace, rocketing towards her high at lightspeed. your legs have given up on you at this point but that’s okay, zoya can hold you against the wall with one hand while the other toys with your clit until you’re squirting all over her abdomen. that’s all it takes for her to reach her peak too, spilling thick cum into you with a low, throaty groan. it drips down your legs and onto the floor when she pulls out, so she’s quick to move you both to the bed to continue.
by your fourth orgasm, both of you have calmed down somewhat. you’ve burned through the passion and now you’re left with the gentle intimacy instead. she’s gentler now, bracing herself above you with one arm as she thrusts slow but deep, making sure you feel all of her with each movement. the kisses you both share are soft and tender, your hands cupping zoya’s face like she’s the most precious thing in the world to you. her eyes flutter shut as you brush your thumbs along the ridge of her cheekbones, her heart feeling so achingly warm in her chest. when she kisses you, she hopes you can feel her sentiment, the emotions her voice struggles to convey.
(i missed you.)
you both cum together, and zoya laces your fingers together tightly as you clench around her and she spills into you again. she moves to pull out, but you wrap your legs around her waist and shake your head. zoya blinks, but then she smiles, settling on top of you but careful not to crush you, her cock still buried deep in your cunt. connected like this, zoya can’t help but feel… safe. it’s a little foreign to her, but as you kiss her temple and card your fingers through her silvery hair she feels her eyes flutter shut in contentment. she falls asleep in your arms like that, her hands resting on your waist and her face buried in the crook of your neck.
and maybe she’s just dreaming, but right before she drifts off she hears you whisper, “i missed you too, zoya.” it pulls a smile to her lips, and for the first time in a long, long time, she feels like she’s at home.
