Dividers by me

It was a beautiful summer day, that had driven Alicent and you outside to the gardens. The two you had gotten a blanket and a basket of sweets from the kitchen and snuck into a place of the gardens that hid your forms behind tall bushes and trees. Your head laid comfortably in her lap as you feed each other the pastries and laughed about some gossip or another that you had heard around court. Yet Alicent can't keep her mind from wandering. Just like her gaze it always wanders back to your lips and as the sound of your laugh sounds through your secret hide out, thoughts about the forbidden demand her attention. By the seven she usually would know better than to be tempted into sin so easily, but her heart longs to feel the touch of your lips on hers. Her heart keeps whispering that it would be worth it, so she knows that the only way to truly know is to take the risk, she brings her face closer to yours, looking at your lips. May the seven condemn her.

At the same time your lips part slightly in unspoken curiosity of what she was planning. Eyes searching, in hopes to find even the slightest give away to what led her to those actions in Alicent's face. Your gaze on its own is enough of an encouragement for the youngest Hightower. She looks at your lips for a few seconds, taking in the sight and feeling how her heart beats faster with every second. A light blush tints her pale cheeks and then her lips barely touch yours for only a moment, but it is long enough to get a taste that lingers on both your lips. Alicent pulls away feeling breathless, with a smile that slowly forms in her face, waiting for your reaction, nervous yet expectant.

Instantly your cheeks begin to burn as you lift your head from her lap. Your heart beats uncontrollably, threatening to break free from the excitement and giddiness buzzing through your veins.

"Now how did I deserve that, my lady?" I say in the end with a breathy voice and small smile as my whole body begins to tingle.

Alicent's ears become pinker with the sound of your voice, feeling even more embarrassed for her bold move, she feels the excitement and thrill, feeling her heart beat more and more. Her smile grows as she replies, keeping her gaze on yours, the adrenaline and butterflies in her stomach making her want to do it again, if only for another taste.

"Did you not like it?"

"On the contrary." You begin to play with her fingers, kissing the tip of each one of them. “In fact, I believe this is the most excited I have ever felt in my life after receiving someone's affection."

And there is no truer statement. The thought of being with her was the first time you felt comfortable with the thought of courting. If only you were allowed to actually do so openly.

"Is that truly so?"  she asks softly, a gasp of surprise in the undertone of her voice. The way her eyes lay on your lips caressing her, it seems as if she was trying to read the deepest part of your soul. On her arms a layer of goosebump became visible when she shivered.

"It is." You look at Alicent through your eyelashes.

The longer the two of you stay like this, the more you grow glad for this special spot in the gardens, for hiding you from prying eyes. It simply allowed two young women to express their affections without having to fear repercussions. Alicent can't help but blush deeper at your words, feeling the heat in her cheeks and her chest, she feels as if she is going to pass out. With every second of this encounter, she wants more.

"Will you allow me to taste your lips one more time?" She requests in a raspy voice, her lips now getting close to yours again.

With stopping motions you inch towards each other, until you feel her sweet lips on yours once more. This time for a longer moment. When you part you can´t hold back but whisper the first thought that comes to your mind.

"I wish we could run away together. To the free cities or the land beyond. Just anywhere but here."

Alicent's breath is noticeably taken away by your confession. The thought runs in her mind as well, if there only could be a way to escape from the responsibilities they have and leave these lands for a better and freer one. But reality sets in all too soon, and she responds with great tenderness and affection.

"Unfortunately, our paths and obligations keep us tied to this place, but you have made me dream this dream as well."

"I know. I simply wish I could be free to love you. As long as we are here, we will have to hide. They will never accept us." I sigh deeply.

"You are right, but simply because we cannot change our fate, does not mean I cannot let my skin learn to feel your touch and kisses."  With that she runs a finger lightly down your neck and across your lower jaw.

She would not let the social conventions or the faith ruin this for her. For both of you. This feeling was too good to keep it locked away. A shaky breath flutters from your lungs at the gentleness of the touch. It feels like your heart is about to jump out of your chest.

Speechless you nuzzle your face against hers. Your forehead and nose rest comfortably against Alicent's warm cheek as one of your hands comes up to play with her hair. The other tracing a finger over her facial features. Desperate to feel her skin.

"You have such tender hands..." 

"You must have been made by the gods. For you are simply perfect." I whisper against her lips. This time the kiss is less hesitant, though it is still chaste. “The sweetest sin to have ever tempted me.”

"Sweetest sin?  Have I corrupted you then?" Alicent chuckles.

"I believe you have. Now you better come and save me from the threat of the seven hells." You tease her back with a smile.

You have never felt this giddy and don't know where to put this energy that tingles all through you.

Your hands cup her cheeks, as you begin to place kisses all over her face.

Alicent´s hands wander to your waist to keep you steady, wishing to keep you close as she feels the warmth of your hands on her face, but in the end the two of you topple over. Falling side by side into the soft grass, giggling.

"I would do anything to save you from that fate." She says softly, her hands now going from your waist to your hips.

It becomes physically impossible to keep your lips away from hers any longer, though this time you don't go to kiss her immediately. Instead, you let the tip of your tongue flick out experimentally and a bit ungainly to tease her lower lip. The sugary taste from earlier treats still lingers on the rosy skin.

Instantly Alicent´s lips part and her tongue coyly meet yours, the feelings she is experiencing now, her entire body trembles at the action and she can't help but giggle softly, the touch, the action, everything feels so good. The young woman´s hands run over the fabric of the dress, from your hips to your back, where the rub small circles as they pull you closer to her, even though there was barely any air left between the two of you already.

Her eyes look at you full of desire and joy, suddenly heating up the last bit of air that has been left. Tasting it, the two of you explore each other's mouths in a deep, mutually clumsy kiss. The both of you lay on your sides, taking in the divine sight that is the other’s relaxed face.

“I would follow you anywhere.” It's a promise that you would mean until the last breath left your body.

“Anywhere?” Is the almost unbelieving answer you get.

"No matter where you want me to be, I'll be there. Your presence could make even the deepest hell seem like the highest of heavens.”

Suddenly the air around you grows even thicker. You are so close to each other and Alicent smells even sweeter than the flowers around you. So, you can´t resist but to hold her tighter to your body and slipping one of your legs between hers. The moment of possessiveness behind it is welcome, though it also fires the change in mood between you.

“Then I wish for you to never leave my side.” Alicent's breath fans over your neck.

“As if I could ever resist you…” you murmur back.

You are locked into each other's gazes so much that you only realize that you were moving closer, when you meet in another kiss. Lips locking, hands growing more frantic with every moment, both of your bodies demanding more yet never getting enough.

Your breathing grows heavier the longer you go on and soft whines can be heard from Alicent. So wrapped up in the moment, neither of you realize at first, that you had begun to move your cores against the other's thigh. Little shocks of delicate pleasure running up your spines and etching into your faces from the stimulation of your sensitive pearls. When you do, your hands hold onto Alicent's hips, guiding her every move, while the brunette's lips graze your jawline and neck.

“Is this alright?” You whisper into her ear as one of your hands sneaks up to cup one of her breasts over the dress.

Alicent's mouth opens ever so slightly at the new sensation.

“Yes, please keep going.” She hums with the hints of oncoming ecstasy coloring the tone of her voice.

The fluttering sensation of an impending release begins to settle in the pit of your stomach, tickling and tingling all over your skin and quickly forming a tight knot. Alicent´s actions make it wound tighter fast, however. Her body nestles against the curves of yours perfectly, like you were truly made for each other. Her hands cup your breasts exemplary, bringing divine pleasure by pinching and rolling the sensitive mounds between her gentle fingers, receiving the same treatment back from yours. The two if you pause for a moment when your hand comes to lay under the brunette’s chin making her look you in the eyes with those beautiful brown ones of hers.

Then when you move in for yet another brush of the lips, you move against each other with seemingly renewed vigour. Your companion is simply too irresistible with her kiss swollen lips and that utterly taken gaze in her wide eyes.

“You are so perfect.” You mutter against Alicent's lips.

“So are you.” She answers in the same way.

“I can't hold on any longer.” You warn her, promptly beginning to shake all over from the gentle force of your love making.

Your legs are trembling and you let out a garbled moan as you find your release, pussy clenching and spasming around nothing. Alicent follows you almost immediately, succumbing to the pleasure as she helps you ride out your high.

Her fingers run up your back, burying themselves between the strands of your hair to rest at and massage your scalp. If she would get her choice in life, the two of you would stay there forever. Intertwined with each other in your special spot in the garden.

“Promise me that you will never leave my side. I could not stand to be away from you.” Alicent whimpers with her hips snapping up instinctively in the aftermath of your time together.

“I swear to you, my lady Hightower. I have never once thought about leaving your side, but after the moment we have shared I pray for the gods to strike me down should the thought even so much as cross my mind.” You smile at her, brightly and happily to mirror the overwhelming feeling inside her at the plea. With you she would never have to wish for anything.

aventurine x a f!reader whose personality is a lot like mayuzumi fuyuko of shinymas

*to those who doesn't know shinymas, fuyuko is a fashionable girl who acts friendly, cutesy, lovely and kind to people but beyond that mask has tsundere tendencies with anger issues that she only shows to people she actually trusts.

(( f!reader's job isn't specified, but she's from a planet that had a deal with IPC // mentions of random IPC staff dude being asshole / creepy to reader ))

being used to (or more likely forced to for survival) on observing people with hidden intent, Aventurine immediately could know you're not what you seems to be.

he knew he isn't any better with his fake smile and everything, so he didn't pry too much into it.

but somehow, you two ends up having to be a lot together due to business reason, and your masking isn't as sturdy as Aventurine's

you was so mad at one of his underlings in IPC being a total creep to you just because you're kind to him, that you forgot your masking and complained out loud where you think no one could hear.

unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), Aventurine overheard you.

obviously there was no need to mask anymore, you stormed off to confront him about his underling who's being a creep until Aventurine would promise to lay him off or something or your deal with him is off.

he wasn't surprised at your 'sudden' change upon dropping your mask, and instead smiled and agreed to help you. (it bothers you)

(Aventurine was amazed at you because of the way you spoke out honestly about your feelings despite your initial masking, that he finds you interesting. teasing ensues, but he still agreed to your terms)

that creep got what he deserved, but now Aventurine had a secret of yours as well as being interested in you in some form.

he definitely would find the tsundere you who had anger issues more fun than the you who are masking as a kind, generous girl.

while you do open up to him eventually, it may take a while for him to do the same for you. even after you're dating.

your mask of a kind self had brought you a few admirers. that's how you two got closer in the first place, anyway. that does make Aventurine feels kind of annoyed, but he knew he's the only one who knew your real side that it makes him feels smug in his heart.

Yandere!Kevin Headcanons!

Requested by my lovely girlfriend @lunarbroadcast!

Content Warnings:

Obsession, toxic friends (well, whether they’re actually toxic or not is up to you,) loneliness induction/isolation, manipulation, implied/referenced sexual abuse, implied murder, framing (for both murder and sexual abuse/pedophilia,) implied lobotomy.

When you showed up, at first, you were just a customer, wanting to buy some candy. Kevin didn’t care much for you at first, treating you like he would anyone else: with stark cynicism. However, you just kept coming back, and you even managed to get a job there, since you liked the place so much. (He likes to think he was a factor in your decision.)

Kevin loved talking to you. It was his favorite part of everyday. You both talked about everything, and if you mentioned something he didn’t know about, Kevin would spend countless hours, and even sleepless nights, researching it to look impressive in the next conversation about it. It messed with his sleep cycle, but it was worth it just to see your eyes glow in glee when he gives a fact about it.

When Kevin woke up in the morning, his first thought was of you. He counted down the seconds to his shift — for the first time ever, he loved his job, even if it was just because of you.

Though, there were some problems.

You kept these awful friends, who would hang around during your shift, and they would treat you poorly. They’d make “playful” jabs at you, and say they were just joking. About your weight, your style, your personality.

Needless to say, Kevin hated that. You deserved better, you deserved to be treated right, and your awkward smiles and laughs in response were enough to set him off. But no matter what he said, you shrugged him off. They’re just jokes, you said.

“Besides, they’re right about me, anyway.”

Kevin needed to find a way to keep you from these awful friends. (Hell, even people in general. He hated seeing other people around you.) So he did some digging on your “friends” lives, seeing if there was anything on there that could convince you they really were terrible people.

It was a major no go. A lot of the major stuff happened a long time ago, to irrelevancy. Only one friend of yours had major dirt on him — Neal, one of your newest friends, was secretly a sex trafficker. Kevin wrote that down on his notepad, but after looking it over, he decided he needed to go farther. He can’t just get rid of one bad friend: He needed to get rid of all of them, by any means necessary.

Neal was easy. Kevin just tipped Neal off to the police, and off he went. It definitely shook you up, but it wasn’t enough to convince you that your entire friend group was bad.

Framing for murder wasn’t easy - it got Kevin’s clothes stained, and evidence was hard to hide, harder to replicate in his favor. He had originally only planned to frame one friend of yours, but the other walked in on him during the act, so he had to improvise. It was all the more satisfying when they got sentenced to life, though. All the more satisfying to see you crying at the testimonials, as if you really were betrayed.

Your final friend, Kevin took more drastic measures. Alice, the only one in your friend group who didn’t insult you. A supposedly kind, do-no-harm angel who could never hurt a fly. Kevin knew better than to believe that. No one was trustworthy in this town — except you.

Kevin snuck into her house, hacked into her computer, and loaded it with illicit pictures of children. Then he left, as if he never broke in.

The authorities came knocking on her door after Kevin tipped them off, and checked her computer. Her mortified shock was priceless. She was sentenced to a ‘lesser’ degree, only fifty-five years, but for supposed child predators it’s a death sentence in prison.

No more friends. Finally.

You didn’t show up for work the next day. Concerned, Kevin approached your house. Thankfully, you had shared your location with him at some point, because you trusted him — you were too gullible, he needed to protect you. After all, what if you shared that knowledge with Neal?

What if you already did?

Kevin entered it — unlocked, so, so gullible — and approached your room, opening it to the sight of you bawling your eyes out. In just around two weeks you lost everyone you thought you could trust. You didn’t know who to trust anymore. Cautiously, Kevin sat next to you, listening to your rambles. Your heart was beyond broken. It was shattered and stepped on.

Kevin awkwardly, slowly enveloped you in a tight hug, and you hugged him back even tighter. Despite not being able to trust anything anymore, despite hate and mistrust filling your heart, you still trusted Kevin. He trailed his hand up and down your back as you sobbed into his shoulder.

In one of Kevin’s pockets was a leucotome. In just a few hours, and you’ll fall asleep in his arms as the sun sets. In just a few hours, you’ll forget all about the outside world. In just a few hours, the only thing you’ll have ever known is him. In just a few hours, you’ll never be sad ever again. In just a few hours, you’ll be his lover.

Kevin will take good care of you.

He’ll protect you.

But for now, Kevin is giving you the comfort you need most while you still remember it.

not to get all analytical and stuff, but bam and endorsi shouldn't end up together- not because of bam, or khun, or whoever else you ship with him - but because of ENDORSI.

characters in tog are quite commonly either parallels or foils to the main cast - wangnan wants the role bam was forced into, hatz is the complete opposite of khun, and khun, bam, rachel and endorsi are... well. the general story of bam, khun, and rachel is "person is abused by their family, forms an unhealthy relationship with the first person they recieve genuine affection from, leaves and finds someone else". there are so many parallels between the three of them, its hard to analize their characters without delving into the other's. endorsi... well, shes got everything but the last step. her story ended on the first floor, and shes been begging bam not to leave her for whoever she thinks hes interested in. she has a team of her own - she has aanak - but bam was the first. bam was the first to offer her friendship, the first to show her genuine care, the first person she ever connected with. she didnt have a rachel or a maria or a bam, she only had her abusive family and... bam.

and bam doesn't care about her as much as she cares about him. which is perfectly fine! he doesnt owe her a return of her feelings. but to him, she isnt even *the* friend. he objectively cares about khun and rak more, to the point where its a running gag that he wont even realise shes talking to him if hes already talking to khun. he doesnt become as vulnerable or as trusting as he is with khun when around her. he doesnt revert to the sweet, happy persom he truly is when hes with her, like he does when hes with khun. he cares about her, a lot! but in the same way that he cares about team shibisu or sweet and sour. shes had to fight her entire life to be seen as worthy, shes had to be the strongest and the prettiest or she wouldnt be worth FEEDING. there is no way in hell being in a relationship with a person who shes never going to be the priority for is healthy for her.

she cares about him, a lot, and it goes both ways. but sometimes your loved ones, in any sense of the word, arent the destination, but the bridge. and she deserves someone who she is the number one to, no matter what

[allofthebees]

Thinking about Samurai X and how I wish Nya and Pixal had more of an established close friendship before they decided to make Pix the next Samurai tbh. Like I think it would have had more of an impact/been more touching if Nya realized her bestie was carrying on the Samurai X legacy instead of this person she rarely speaks to.

[winterlymor]

finally finished the fontaine archon quest…and gosh….furina :’(

[novelconcepts]

The degree of RAGE I feel every time I listen to an interview with and/or about a nonbinary person/character, and the interviewer just is allergic to they/them pronouns. Like. My dude. My good bitch. My brother in Christ. The whole POINT of this conversation is the enby thing. How are you failing THIS badly?!

[nulltune]

ngl i do not trust the fate canon or fandom with hakuno. i'll try to keep this brief (1/47586)

SVCKSBCJ I'M KIDDING but yeah to me canon to me seems stuck in between treating hakuno as a character of her own but also a self insert even though the entire Point of her character was becoming a person of her own. this is especiaally prominent in later instalments methinks (the way they don't even refer to her by her name "hakuno kishinami" in her character description and just call her "master" or "heroine"....... some crimes cannot be forgiven actually-) so, well, i'll still try to keep up to date on canon hakuno content but i lost hope in it ever feeding me the hakuno content i crave 💔

sO YEAH BASICALLY I DECIDE 2 BE THE CHANGE I WANT 2 SEE IN THE WORLD canon is the blueprint but i'm gonna write hakuno with my own personal interpretation + hcs n_n 💖 i still love the canon content we get, don't get me wrong, but i will most definitely be cherrypicking to my liking! this isn't really a big notice but i just felt like saying it 😳 also if you ever want to interact or just know more about MY interpretation of hakuno, then my blog's got all ya need tbh!! me gently taking your hands away from actual fate canon like haha yes ^_^ so what do u wanna know about this moon girl? also honestly if u wanna know more abt her just message me ❤️ I WOULD BE MOAR THAN HAPPY 2 TALK SLASH RAMBLE

[caffeinatedopossum]

Skgkfjf my girlfriend helps me so much I love her so so much >_<

Ever since I told her I thought I was autistic, she's done so much research and really paid attention to what I specifically need and idk she just goes so above and beyond everyday. Like the amount she accommodates me is insane- I wish everyone had someone this thoughtful and supportive.

[seasononesam]

You wanted spn asks so you’re gonna get ‘em! Who’s your favorite love interest for Sam?

eileen my beloved eileen!

[no-naem]

Sometimes I think about how Kayano lost the most important person in her life, became full of hatred and grief, willingly hurt herself with tentacles for around 9 months, tried to fix things last minute because she thought everything was her fault only to die, got brought back to life, then immediately lost another person who was important to her, and now she has to live with that??? 

After everything’s over, she’ll probably arrive to an empty home. Her mother is dead, her father is absent and likely never here, and she’ll never see her big sister again. She’ll start high school separated from her new family, the E class, and she’ll probably have to put up a front again to cope with everything except there’s no revenge in mind this time. 

Just grief. 

[kideternity]

Breaking my silence. Paige and Jono as a relationship fucking sucked and it was like extremely detrimental to both their characters and the fact they KEPT trying to drag the dead horse around during the 2000s X-men era was like, unforgivable I'm going to be real. Extremely glad they eventually moved on because Jesus Christ

[thrushppelt]

i’m unlabelled when it comes to the proship/anti debate, and im genuinely curious, what makes you like bluesnow as a ship? i understand maybe it’s the aspect of them being sisters, but why it over say, leafsquirrel or doveivy.

So I’ve only read a few of the books, and like half the books I’ve read are through audiobook. there’s something about how the narrator would voice blue n snow AND how they canonically interact just really got me. I wouldn’t be surprised if I got into leafsquirrel or doveivy if I get that far!!!!!

AND blue has always meant a lot to me. I read the first book like. Uhhhh plenty of years ago and the characters in the book still mean a lot to me.

TLDR: I don’t really know! It’s a multitude of things And other ppl liking the ship and making a little au w me :)

[varietysky]

Carmy's whole thing of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" is ironic cuz i was waiting for that after episode 7 with Richie but then he kinda just.. is like that now? I mean good for him though, but something felt missing idk

[legendary-alliance-stance]

on the note of “anet shafting norn during icebrood”

i’m forever going to be mad that we were like. teased with learning more about some minor Spirits of the Wild and got like. Fucking Nothing

I get that we were still trying to help the corrupted trio, even in Drizzlewood... But we could have met Griffon, Hare, and Otter :C I’m so sad that braham was like “yeah i’ll go talk to them” and we never get anything else about them except for what very little info on Otter the Significant Otter achievement line gives

these three have been in lore since the core game, and we still know next to nothing about them
