the watcher the prince and the DEVIL!!!
CALiBAN
18 . he/ey . the prince
there were many, many princes at my disposal, especially tempest related, but there's one i can count on to make the whole metaphor here. "this island's mine, by sycorax my mother" (shakespeare, ii.i) says caliban, the inheritance, proclaimed heir, and eurocentricity to the initial idea all really striking to me.
MARiYA PREOBRAZHENSKAYA
23 . she/spark . the watcher
millennials just yearn for a hubris that bests the old ones. mariya has watched enough to know that her actions have consequences. spark knows full well there is a price to pay when it comes to sleeping with one eye open, but she is not so fiscal to miss out on the gamble of life.
ANANiAS
??? . she/he . the devil
its the summer of idolatry! the tower of babel is rising to its peak, you can't miss it now. good men sweat and worse men don't, the world spins on an axis and there is just so much to lust after. don't bear your neighbour's burden, just listen to her. listen.

That Kitsch!Gambit is so steamy LORD PLEASE write a Channing!Gambit version. I know you don't write smut but. Just a taste. Please. You'd be doing the Channing girlies a service.
♧ | own sweet time ; ‘24!Gambit
summ. A supply run goes sour. You and Remy pass time in the Void the only way you know how.
pairing. Void!Gambit x f!Void!reader
a/n. A blurb. Allusions to smut but really it's just heavy-petting and a make out. Anyway. Don’t look at ME. You people asked for this!
The Void is vast.
Vast usually means quiet.
Which, really, is a double-edged sword for your situation at the moment. It all depends— but logistics is honestly the last thing you’re caring about in this seedy, rundown 80’s Diner that you and Remy have temporarily camped in for the night after that tragedy of a supply run, no—
Not when you’re purring under his heaty touch, and he’s sweeping you off your feet to corner you against the counter with his eyes half-mast, and that damn smirk across his face.
He always likes to play with his food.
“Foldin’ your cards already, chèr?”
Your hands roam uselessly across the armour over his chest, finding purchase at the thick muscles of his arms caging you in.
“Mh. You’re a cheater,” you volley, dragging him close by his coat and tip-toeing to meet him in a quick there-and-away kiss.
A dimpled smile. “S’only one thing I play dirty at, chèr.”
You roll your eyes, but your huff of laughter betrays you. “You talk too much.”
“That so?” he hums, cutting.
You can’t even answer.
The taunt is enough to have him dipping down, snaking his hand loose around your neck like a collar, and devouring you like his life depended on it. Raw hunger. It sends your world careening; body unravelling. You want to reach out incase you fall apart— you want to be touched and surrounded and kissed.
“Up,” he instructs, voice like roughstone; and when you obliged obediently, let him hike you up around his hips and keep you from falling with nothing but a single arm wrapped around you, he croons out the approval that makes your head swim;
“Attagirl.”
Some strangled sound— a wanton plea, probably— escapes you. It’s hard to miss his smile against your lips; Likes when you preen for him, the smug bastard.
He settles you fluidly on a booth table, and you barely have the time to catch your breath until he’s leaning his tousled-head down again, tilting your chin up with his fingers, and nosing a bruising kiss over your lips and to the tender pulse beneath your jawline.
“Remy,” you manage, half-whined and half-croaked. “Please.”
He shushes you. Three consecutive tuts, almost. Chiding. It stirs something in you.
This— arrangement— has been routine enough for him to know exactly what makes you tick; know what disarms you; lets him have his way. You hardly remember when it all started. Time doesn’t matter in the Void. Somewhere between his suggestive banter, and your wandering gazes, and both of your lingering, purposeful touches— you and he found comfort burying in each other with this make-shift intimacy.
Casual, you remind yourself. This is… casual.
He grazes tongue and teeth against your collar. Canine-sharp.
Christ. The whole Devil thing makes sense, doesn't it?
And Gambit runs hot. Smouldering to the touch— warm and kindling and as searing as brimstone. You wonder, idly, if it has something to do with all the kinetic energy coursing through him; if it’s ever intentional. An exposed livewire that singes and thrums throughout your body as he mouths at the thin skin of your flesh.
“Remy.” You arch, helpless, trying to get impossibly closer to him.
He slides his palms up, rough and excited, working your body firmly where and how he wants you, back down the cold metal of the table.
It’s enough force that you thud the back of your head.
You barely notice it, too distracted with the pressure of him, but Remy does— and then he’s quickly pulling away from a wet kiss at the hollow of your throat.
“Y’alright?” he withdraws, slowing considerably. Irises fade bright fuschia to sea-green. The roughness in his touch quickly melts away. "M’sorry, chèr."
His powers bleed through sometimes whenever he’s kickstarted with adrenaline; tends to give way and have him end up using more force than necessary. His thumb sits at your bottom lip, breath curling with yours as he checks you over with a flickering gaze.
“It's okay,” you murmur, already pulling him forward. (You forget just how much that Cajun accent of his does it for you.) "Didn't hurt me, sweetheart."
He seals you into a talisman of a kiss. Another apology; a promise. Gambit didn’t mean to, chèr, it translates. 'Lemme make it up to you.
Gentleman at heart. Always. You love it about him.
Gambit may have learned how to make himself a hard read from his years being a thieving, gambling, cheat; but Remy’s touch— sleight, dextrous hands borne from mastered legerdemain— never fails to give everything about him away.
Everything devolves into something more tender, now. Like he’s making up for his harshness. You can feel his fingers slide from your jaw and run through your hair to cradle the crown of your head— quiet precaution from hitting it again as he latches onto your mouth.
Subtle awareness; Not only a turn-on, but also sickeningly sweet of him.
Too much, truthfully, for this to be just a casual thing between you both.
Sweeter than whatever had been in the air that day Elektra had sent you both out on a recon that turned sour, and he came away with bruises on his chest so dark he looked like a walking contusion— and you took care of him afterwards in the only way you knew how:
Sitting astride on his lap, and letting him mould you into his blissful distraction; have him forget the pain; disassemble the raw dread in his marrows after such a close call.
He shifts you carefully to the table edge, nudges your knees wide so he can stand bracketed between your legs. The skirting coat he shoulders slowly slips off.
...God. You’re going to leave half-crescents around his biceps by the time he’s done with you.
“Easy, chèr,” he laughs, when you entwine your fingers with his, anticipatory. It's a cigarette-burn of a voice; drowned in hazy, saccharine affection. “Gambit ain’t goin’ nowhere.”
Too sweet, you want to scold him—
But then he’s pressing against you, looming above you like a shadow, and every single thought dissolves into eager pleasure as he curls another hand under your shirt and drags up, up, up.
Too sweet. Sweet, and takin’ his own sweet time.
Laissez les bons temps rouler, or whatever it is he says.
